The old man looked very anxious, so Chu Chen immediately asked Wu Shuping and Zhou Wenping to borrow 5000 yuan, and then the two sides completed the transaction. The old man verified the authenticity of the money and left in a hurry.

However, the truth is that you can't be harmful and you can't be defensive. Chu Chen didn't forget to ask the old man to sign a trade agreement. After all, there are so many evil things in the antique business. He doesn't want to have a big new year's day and get into any trouble.

Next, the three of them had tea and had a chat. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Considering that today was new year's Eve, Chu Chen asked everyone to clean up and prepare for the official annual holiday.

I heard that we were going to take the annual leave. Everyone was very happy, because we had already cleaned up at noon, so we packed up. Then Chu Chen said a few words of encouragement, and let the shop assistants go back.

Chu Chen and others have to check the related things in the store, especially the safety. They can't be careless. In this way, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping didn't say goodbye until nearly five o'clock, and took Uncle Wu to drive home.

…………

February 11th, new year's Eve.

After breakfast, before a while, the old man and the old lady came. Of course, when the two old people came, the safety inspection must be indispensable.

Next, chuchen and his sister began to paste couplets and hang lanterns. They were very happy.

Today's couplet Chu Chen didn't go to the market to buy it as usual. Instead, he wrote it in cooperation with the old man. The content of the couplet was selected by Chu Chen and the words were written by the old man.

The old man usually likes calligraphy. He learned calligraphy from Wang Xizhi and added his own style. His running calligraphy looks flowing and powerful. After reading it, people who are familiar with it can't help saying "good!".

In a word, Chu Yongning's love of calligraphy is also influenced by his father.

The couplet was placed in the right place. Chu Chen appreciated the couplet from a distance. The first couplet was: good luck to the whole family. The second couplet is: spring is full of glory. Horizontal inscription: full of spring.

This year, chuchen's family got together, and this couplet is just right for the occasion. Therefore, chuchen is not only satisfied with this couplet, but also other people.

At noon, everyone just ate something casually, and then they got busy again. Today, there are many people, so they have to make more dumplings. Therefore, Chu Chen, relying on his strength, went to the kitchen and began to chop dumpling stuffing with a kitchen knife.

It took about an hour to chop the stuffing of dumplings and put them in the pot. If Ji Sao comes to chop it, it won't be good for two hours. Then Chu Chen picked up the basin and mixed the flour.

Ji sister-in-law said in a hurry: "young master, you don't need to make noodles. You can't make noodles either soft or hard. If you can't master the heat well, you can have a rest. I'll make noodles later."

When chuchen cuts the stuffing, uncle and others come over one after another. When chuchen finishes cutting the stuffing, Zhao Yunlin, aunt and others go into the kitchen and start to work with sister Ji.

When he came to the living room, Chu Chen saw that Chu Junfeng and his younger generation were fighting against the landlord. It was estimated that Chu Junfeng was good at playing cards, and he had a good fortune. He had already piled up a lot of chips in front of him, while the others were all looking sad.

Chu Yulan saw Chu Chen come over, quickly waved to him: "brother, you come quickly for me, I have been defeated."

Chu Junfeng said triumphantly: "ah Chen's Antiques and gambling stones are really powerful, but this game of cards, in our family, I" Chu Jiayan, you also go to one side! " Then Chu Jiamei crowded into her seat.

Chu Jia Yan a face speechless way: "I just played two cards, why let me go?"

Chu Jiamei said with disdain: "you don't want to see what your card stinks like. If you want to play it again, you will lose to Java."

"Most of these chips are lost by you, OK?" Chu Jiayan said.

Chu Jiamei didn't argue either. She said directly, "if you have the ability, you can squeeze me too!"

Everyone can't laugh or cry when they see Chu Jiamei's appearance as a rogue. Although Chu Jiayan is very angry, he is weak. After all, he is a boy, and he can't do what Chu Jiamei did just now. Moreover, if he does that, he will be the one who has the misfortune.

"No wonder as the saying goes, only women and villains are hard to support. The ancients really didn't deceive me!" Chu Jiayan said angrily.

Chu Jiamei smiles with pride, and then says aloud, "deal, deal, I'll fight everywhere!"

Having said that, the next card game made Chu Jiamei sad again. After five games, she found that Chu Junfeng, her second elder brother, had lost the game with her. Chu Chen and ye Liang both won. Seeing that her chips were less and less, she was very worried.

But after that, her card skills and luck were obviously not good. After a few more games, there were only two chips in front of her, so she directly lost the card and pushed Chu Jiayan up.

Just, let Chu Jiamei feel strange is, next Chu Jiayan's luck is super good, not only won back the chips she just lost, don't say, actually also made a lot of money.At the end, Chu Junfeng said with a bitter smile: "well, I take back what I said before. Third, your card skills are much better than mine! I don't know how your brain grows! "

Hearing this, the present several who do not know what is going on, for a moment all to chuchen can unconsciously put chips "back" to them, feel some incredible.

Chuchen said with a smile, "what's so good about my playing skills? It's obviously the luck of Jiayan and Xiaoliang!"

Chu Junfeng said with a smile: "up to now, only you and I have lost. Do you think there is such a coincidence? Well, I'd like to admit defeat. Jiayan and Xiaoliang, how much did you win? "

When Chu Jiayan and ye Liang count the chips, Chu Jiamei jumps in front of Chu Chen and says angrily:

"third brother, you help Jia Yan bully me!"

Chuchen said with a smile, "then why do you only allow you to bully Jiayan and I'm not allowed to bully you?"

"Jiayan is my brother!" Chu Jiamei said naturally.

"I'm obviously my brother!" Chu Jiayan muttered.

Since you can't bully me, can't you

"But you are a brother, how can you bully your sister?" Chu Jiamei pouted.

Chu Chen said, "well, no matter what, you're right, aren't you? By the way, I heard that you were bullying teachers at school! But I'm not your teacher. I'm going to bully you. In addition to ignoring me, tell me what you can do! "

"I..." For a moment, Chu Jiamei did not speak.

Chuchen some serious said: "Jiamei, do brother today advise you, after you have to change such a character, play at home to play, how to go outside, or so unbridled?"? What kind of impression will you make on our family? "

"That teacher is not good!" Chu Jiamei made an excuse.

"What about your classmates?" Chu Chen asked again.

Chu Jiamei kept her head down and did not speak.

After a while, Chu Chen said, "well, today is Chinese New Year's Eve. I'll call it a day. Think about it for yourself. Don't regret that it's too late just because you've suffered a big loss in your character."

At this point, he took out the gifts he had prepared and gave them to the three children.

The three people's gifts are the same, in addition to the red envelope, there is a matching Pendant with them. The pendant is made of Laokeng glass. If it's worth more than one million in the market, but they don't know the market of jadeite. They just think it's beautiful, so they are very happy to accept it.

Looking at Chu Jiamei smiling again, Chu Chen also sighed to himself. Today, the reason why he nodded Chu Jiamei from the beginning just now is because he heard Chu Yulan talk about Chu Jiamei last night.

In the past, Chu Chen just thought Chu Jiamei was a little naughty, but he didn't know that Chu Jiamei had become a big sister in school. She not only bullied her classmates, but also didn't buy the teacher's bill. Because of her second uncle Chu Yongping, everyone couldn't help her.

Chu Chen's two aunts usually beat and scolded and educated, but we all know what the rebellious children were like. Originally, they wanted Chu Jiamei to transfer to the capital, but they were afraid that Chu Jiamei would not do well in her studies. They thought that she was going to graduate soon, so she was ready to finish her career and recite the curse to Chu Jiamei.

In fact, Chu Chen said that education should be done sooner rather than later. It's no big deal to let Chu Jiamei stay at a higher level, but he is a younger generation after all. He can only make a suggestion on this matter and take the opportunity to educate her. That's why he did that just now.

Now it seems that Chu Jiamei doesn't know how much she has heard. If she goes her own way, she will suffer a big loss sooner or later

With the advent of night, the sound of firecrackers gradually sounded outside, Chu Chen put all the lights in the house, the whole villa was bright in the night.

"Have dinner..."

Today, there are two tables, but they are all big round tables. It looks more lively.

When the banquet began, the old man called Chu Chen to his side and asked with a smile, "Xiaobao, you have been in Beijing for several years. Do you know our custom of celebrating the new year?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "how can we not know..."

After the new year's Eve dinner, the most important thing in the first day of junior high school is to begin to pay New Year's respects. Generally speaking, they just sit and go. After the second and third day of junior high school, they begin to hope to enjoy the joy of their family. So I went to visit my relatives.

Visiting relatives is also called visiting relatives in Beijing. The core problem is to adjust the relationship between people and emphasize the friendship between people.

This kind of visiting relatives will not just sit around like a new year's visit. They usually stay at relatives' home from morning till night. They not only have dinner, but also chat and play cards together. Relatives will also be very happy to entertain, and will not be unhappy.

When visiting relatives in old Beijing, they usually bring gifts to relatives. It usually takes a lot of thought to prepare a gift. If you want to visit the elderly, gifts should generally take care of the elderly's preferences. You will choose some food that the elderly can chew. Generally, you need to send a snack box, which contains eight pieces of pastry, Furong cake and SaQima.In addition, also pay attention to send fruit, mainly apples and oranges. Because pears and "from" homophonic, so the new year's gift is not to send pears. In addition, you can also send flower tea. If there are children in the other party's home, they will buy some snacks such as fireworks, lanterns or mixed fruit.
