Chapter 3039: A 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 over by Lin Youxi!

Lin Youxi shook his head triumphantly. These aunts are too embarrassed to ask for red envelopes 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 a 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 rush back home. No matter how their family's finances are or their luck, 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 Chinese New Year, there was indeed a strong festive atmosphere, and there were all kinds of things to buy, but when the Chinese New Year came, I found that the year was very dull. Although with the reform and opening up, everyone's wallets are getting fatter and the living standards are getting higher, but during the Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere is getting weaker and weaker. Although the merchants are hanging lights and decorations, it is nothing more than for money. When the Chinese New Year comes, there is no real Chinese Lunar New Year atmosphere at all.

For example, the dragon dance, stilt walking, and the parade activities such as the sedan chair boat are now difficult to see. Especially in the big cities, this kind of very typical and traditional Chinese symbolic program is more difficult to see. I don't know who said it-the Chinese are losing their national characteristics. Lin Feng doesn't remember who said this, but it is true.

Lin Feng has traveled all over the world in recent years. 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 doesn't know what Chinese culture is. On the street, besides the Chinese characters that can be seen everywhere, what else can represent Chinese culture? China has 5,000 years of civilization, is there only so many Chinese characters left? This is obviously not the case. China still has many, many, such as Peking Opera, crosstalk, etc. Some of these are declining, and some are still persisting, but it is undeniable that Chinese culture is being forgotten at a rapid speed, and many unique skills have been lost or are being lost.

This is the Chinese sadness. Why has the international community always been very hostile to the Chinese? In addition to the usual discrimination, it is more important because the Chinese are ruining their own culture and traditions. A nation that can forget its traditions is a very terrible nation. In particular, when this nation has no faith, it will definitely be the craziest nation in the world.

Tradition, faith! Lin Feng thought of many, many things at once. As the richest businessman in China, perhaps he should do something for this country and this nation. He can not only develop the most fun games, but also bring this nation back to life!

"Boss, where are you going now?" asked the driver Feng Jun. Originally, Lin Feng's full-time driver had always been Li Rui, but now Li Rui's right hand was disabled and he could no longer be a driver, so he had to 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 from foreign countries like Sharapova see the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately, the street was "deserted". There was nothing else except people. And these people, although they were all beautiful and well-dressed, seeing them was like seeing Manhattan in New York. Is this still China? Is there any difference between this and the United States?

"Hey, I think it's better to go back and play mahjong. Let's have a hot pot and shabu-shabu first, and then play mahjong all night." Avril shouted in disappointment, but when it came to mahjong, Avril's eyes lit up. Last night, he lost badly. I have to win it back today.

"Good suggestion, let's go back and play mahjong!" Sharapova was completely disappointed with the Chinese New Year. But she was very interested in mahjong. She also knew that after the Chinese New Year, she would have a competition. If she wanted to play mahjong again, she would have to wait until next year. So, take advantage of these few days to satisfy her addiction.

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

After returning home, everyone got busy together and soon had mutton hot pot. After a delicious meal, everyone started the first day of the first lunar month, which is also what almost all Chinese people do - building the Great Wall.

Lin Feng still did not participate in the battle. For Lin Feng, mahjong is just entertainment, and it's okay to play it occasionally. If Lin Feng really had to play it for several hours, Lin Feng would really jump up and down. Compared with galloping on mahjong, Lin Feng enjoys competing in the mall with the whole world as the stage.

Of course, Lin Feng does not plan to work during the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, even the Ox has three days off. Lin Feng naturally needs to take a break. However, Lin Feng not working does not mean that Lin Feng is free. Sharapova's disappointment with Chinese culture today has touched Lin Feng too much. Lin Feng hopes to do something for the Chinese nation from the cultural aspect.

Chinese New Year, atmosphere, dragon lantern dance, stilt walking... Lin Feng pondered the keywords of Chinese New Year one by one, and gradually came up with ideas in his mind.

At this moment, the disappointment with the atmosphere of Chinese New Year 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 tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
