Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 3039: Disappointing New Year

One night passed like this. .+? (.+bsp;\\s*Amidst the rumble of mahjong, Lin Feng ushered in the first day of the first lunar month of the Year of the Dog.

It is a custom in China to pay New Year greetings to the elders on the first day of the Lunar New Year. As for the elders, they prepared a meal, drinks, and red envelopes, and sat at home, waiting for the younger generations to knock on the door and pay New Year greetings. As for the juniors, no matter how late they played last night, they still have to get up on time in the morning, put on new clothes, dress up beautifully, and go to pay New Year greetings to their elders.

Lin Feng's relatives are all in Chu City, so he doesn't have much to do, visiting so many relatives to pay New Year's greetings. Early in the morning, a total of nine people, including Li Zhiyou, went to Lin Feng's parents' room, knocked on the door, and then wished his parents a happy new year and good health.

"Come on, come on, one red envelope for each!" Lin Feng's parents smiled and handed over a red envelope each.

"Come on, Youxi, this is yours, your biggest!" Mother Lin walked up to Lin Youxi and handed Lin Youxi an obviously huge red envelope. Then she walked up to Li Zhiyou and said, "Come on, this is for your belly." During this time, you don’t go anywhere, just stay at home and take good care of the baby. We didn’t know that Meixi was pregnant with Youxi, so we couldn’t take care of you. It must not be ignored.”

Li Zhiyou sweetly accepted this red envelope, which was obviously bigger than Lin Youxi.

"Huh, grandma, that's not fair." Lin Youxi compared it. It was obvious that his share was much less, and he suddenly refused.

Ha ha! Everyone burst into laughter.

"Hmph, Aunt Li, Aunt Jessica, Aunt Avril, Aunt Liu, Aunt Lin. Aunt Sharapova, Happy New Year, bring me the red envelope!" Lin Youxi saw everyone laughing at her. He rolled his eyes and immediately stretched out his hand without waiting for the girls to react. Then they rolled the red envelopes they had just received into a bag specially designed for holding red envelopes on their backs.

"Thank you, aunties! Happy New Year!" Lin Youxi stuck out her tongue proudly.

Oops! The girls were dumbfounded. This... this... they were screwed by Lin Youxi!

Lin Youxi shook his head triumphantly. These aunties are too embarrassed to ask for the red envelope from a little devil like themselves. Due to Lin Feng's money control, although Lin Youxi is the daughter of the world's richest man, the money she can actually control does not exceed 1,000 yuan per month. This includes all her snacks, clothing, etc. pocket money. Every year during the Chinese New Year, Father Lin and Mother Lin’s red envelopes are the most generous. This is also the most generous income Lin Youxi's small treasury has received this year.

And this time. Li Zhiyou and the others got their red envelopes by themselves, so they could buy a lot of things this time. Hum hum, I want...

Lin Youxi still wanted to think about what to buy.

As a result, the small bag on his back was snatched away by Lin Feng.

"Dad, what are you doing! You are not allowed to steal my things!" Lin Youxi became anxious as soon as he saw it, "That is the red envelope given to me by the aunts, you can't take it away!"

Lin Feng smiled.

"Don't worry. I won't return it to them. But didn't you promise that you would donate this year's red envelope income to charity? Why, you forgot!" Lin Feng smiled faintly.

"Ah——" Lin Youxi suddenly shook his head in disappointment when he heard this. If I had known this, why would I have gone to all the trouble of grabbing so many red envelopes? This is a steal this year. If you want to grab it again next year, there is no way. Thinking of this, Lin Youxi became depressed, with one thing written on his face - embarrassment.

The girls laughed. This little witch-like Lin Youxi was the only one who could be cured by Lin Feng. It depends on other people, no way.

"Okay, let's go have breakfast together. Then go back to the room and have a good sleep." Lin Feng said with a smile. Anyway, I don’t have many other relatives and friends in Shanghai, so I don’t need to go out to pay New Year greetings. After staying up all night, everyone was already tired. After breakfast, they had a good sleep and then began to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

After breakfast, I woke up and it was already 4pm. After everyone packed up, they took a car and started swimming to the sea, wondering where to go to celebrate the New Year's Day. But along the way, although Shanghai is still lively, it is no different from usual.

"Lin, is this the Spring Festival?" This is Sharapova's first time in China to celebrate the Spring Festival. When she originally studied Chinese, she learned a lot about Chinese culture. She is not familiar with the Spring Festival, the most solemn festival in China, and this time she comes to China. , is very much looking forward to it. But she didn't expect that what she saw was completely different from what was said in the book. During the Spring Festival, weren't there dragon lantern dances, stilts and so on? Watching some of the video introductions, it’s very lively. Sharapova is also planning to come to China to see it with her own eyes. It will be an eye-opener. What’s the result?

Sharapova realized she didn't see anything! There are people coming and going on Shanghai Street, and it is lively, but the liveliness is similar to that of Western festivals, without any national characteristics. This disappointed Sharapova.

Hearing Sharapova's voice of regret, Lin Feng also sighed. The atmosphere of the New Year is getting lighter now. Before the New Year, people who go out to work are rushing back. No matter how their family's finances are or their luck is, they are all looking forward to the New Year. It seems that everything will be fine after the New Year. After the Chinese New Year, you will be very happy and fun.

But in fact, before the New Year, the festive atmosphere was indeed strong, and there was everything to buy. However, when the New Year came, I found that this year was very dull. Although with the reform and opening up, everyone's pockets are getting richer and their living standards are getting higher and higher, but during the Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere is getting weaker and weaker. Although businesses are putting on lights and decorations, they are all just doing it for money. It’s really Chinese New Year, but there’s no real Chinese Lunar New Year atmosphere at all.

For example, dragon lantern dancing, stilt walking, and street parades such as sedan chairs and boats are hard to see now. Especially the bigger the city, the harder it is to see this kind of typical, traditional Chinese symbol program. I don’t know who said it—Chinese people are losing their national identity. Lin Feng couldn't remember who said this, but it was true.

Lin Feng has traveled around the world over the years, and wherever he goes, he can feel the strong exotic atmosphere. As long as you are in this country, you can feel the culture of this country. Only sometimes when he returns to China, Lin Feng no longer knows what Chinese culture is. In addition to the Chinese characters that can be seen everywhere on the streets, what else can represent Chinese culture? China's 5,000-year civilization has left so few Chinese characters? This is clearly not the case. There are many more in China, such as Peking Opera, cross talk and so on. Some of these have declined, and some are still persisting, but it is undeniable that Chinese culture is being forgotten by people at a rapid speed, and many unique skills have been lost or are being lost.

This is Chinese sadness. Why does the international community always have a very hostile attitude towards the Chinese? In addition to consistent discrimination, the more important reason is that the Chinese are ruining their own culture and traditions. A nation that can forget its traditions is a very scary nation. . Especially, when this nation has no faith, it will definitely be the craziest nation in the world.

Tradition, faith! Lin Feng suddenly thought of many, many things. As the richest businessman in China, perhaps I should do something for this country and this nation. Not only can I develop the most fun games, but I can also bring back the soul of this nation!

"Boss, where are you going now?" the driver Feng Jun asked. Originally, Lin Feng's full-time driver was Li Rui, but now that Li Rui's right hand is disabled and he can no longer be a driver, he can only let another bodyguard, Feng Jun, be Lin Feng's full-time driver.

Lin Feng tapped his fingers. I wanted to walk around the street and let beautiful women like Sharapova from a foreign country see the Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, the street was "deserted" and there was nothing else except people. And although these people are all beautiful and well-dressed, seeing them is like seeing Manhattan in New York. Is this still China? Is this different from the United States?

"Hey, I think it's better to go back and play mahjong. Let's have hot pot and mutton boil first, and then play mahjong all night." Avril screamed in disappointment, but when it came to mahjong, Avril's eyes lit up. Last night, he lost miserably. I want to win it back today.

"Good suggestion, let's go back to Mahjong!" Sharapova was completely disappointed with the Chinese New Year. But I am very interested in Mahjong. She also knows that after the New Year, she will have a competition. If she wants to play mahjong again, she will probably have to wait until next year. So, take advantage of these few days to indulge in hand addiction.

Lin Feng's face twitched a few times, and then he shook his head helplessly. Is it true that during the Chinese New Year, playing mahjong is all that’s left? Of course, Mahjong is also China’s national quintessence. It is one of the 5,000-year-old cultural heritage. It has now spread to the world. Wherever there are Chinese people, there is Mahjong. Not only Chinese people play, but foreigners also play. But is this something to be proud of?

After returning home, everyone got busy together and soon had hotpot mutton. After a delicious meal, everyone started to do what almost all Chinese people do on the first day of the first lunar month - build the Great Wall.

Lin Feng still did not participate in the war. For Lin Feng, mahjong is just entertainment and can be played occasionally. If Lin Feng had to play for so many hours, Lin Feng would really know how to jump. Compared to playing mahjong, Lin Feng enjoys competing in shopping malls with the world as the stage.

Of course, Lin Feng doesn't plan to work during this Chinese New Year. During this Chinese New Year, every cow has three days off. Lin Feng naturally wanted to take a rest. However, just because Lin Feng is not working does not mean that Lin Feng will be free. Sharapova's disappointment with Chinese culture today touched Lin Feng too much. Lin Feng hopes to do something for the Chinese nation in terms of culture.

New Year, atmosphere, dragon lantern dance, stilt walking... Lin Feng thought about the key words of the New Year one by one, and gradually came up with an idea in his mind.

At this moment, disappointment with the Chinese New Year atmosphere on Weibo has also become the focus of complaints from Chinese netizens. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
