Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 283 New Years
I don't know who said such a sentence, time waits for no one.

No matter what happens, no matter what people's subjective wishes are, time flows like this bit by bit, passing through 1998 and coming to 1999—the end of the 20th century, the last year.

In the past year, Shen Er encountered many things and met many people.There are good things and bad things, good people and bad people.These people and things eventually became his motivation, supporting his continuous growth.

It can be said that without them, there would be no Shen Er today.

In the new year, Shen Er will continue to work hard and do more things.For Sakura, for Fujino, for Orange, for the Matou family, for everyone he values ​​and those who value him, he will become stronger and have more power.

I am Shinji Matou, and I will protect everything I cherish—the consciousness I have embraced since time travel has not changed so far, and it will not in the future.

In Fuyuki City, in Matou Mansion, in his own room, Shinji opened the curtains to welcome the first ray of morning light in 1999.

"Shen Er, are you up yet? Hurry up and change your clothes when you get up, we are leaving." Tsuruya's urging voice came from outside the door.

Because of the need for morning exercises, Shen Er has always been the first person in the family to get up, and his father, Tsuru, must be at the bottom if not the latest, with the exception of the first day of the new year.

Similar to the Chinese custom of keeping the year old on New Year's Eve, Japan also has the habit of praying at the beginning of the new year.

Hatsune refers to visiting a shrine or temple for the first time in a year to pray for safety.Most traditional Japanese people will line up to prepare for worship on the night of December 12st, but the Matou family is a foreign family after all, and they are not so strict about the observance of Japanese local customs. Finally, the time for Hatsachi is set on January 31st. morning of the day.In this way, the first wave of crowds at midnight can be avoided, and the second wave of crowds in the morning can also be avoided.

On this day, the entire Matou family will get up at six in the morning, and Tsuru, the head of the family, will get up earlier than others to prepare for the most solemn visit of the year.

According to Japanese dressing etiquette, Hatsune needs to wear formal attire.The so-called formal dress, or "kimono", is a traditional Japanese dress that is very troublesome to wear.The reason why the members of the Matou family got up so early was that half of the time was spent on dressing up.

During this time, Shen Er was deliberately pretending to be asleep, in order to avoid wearing a kimono.

Yes, Shinji didn't want to wear a kimono.

The kimono originated from Hanfu, a traditional Chinese dress, and after being introduced to Japan, it underwent local evolution and finally became the current kimono.Whenever he saw this kind of clothes, he would think of his previous life.

Although there were all kinds of bad things in that country in the previous life, even though he traveled to Japan in this life and got a Japanese name, he still loves that ancient country and is proud of it.So he chose to remember his past life in this way, no matter where he is, no matter what kind of blood is flowing in this body, his heart will not change.

Some people may say that this is a kind of hypocrisy, a kind of self-satisfaction, and it belongs to being a bit (-_-!) ch and erecting an archway.Shen Er will not deny this, but one has to be a little bit persistent, even if it looks silly.

"coming."

Responding listlessly, Shen Er opened the closet, picked out a suit and changed into it, and walked out of the room.

"Father, happy new year."

"Happy New Year."

Seeing his son's attire, Crane also sighed: "It's a suit again, why don't you want to wear a kimono? It's obviously not like this when I was a child."

In Tsuruya's memory, his son was no different from other children in Japan until he was 6 years old. After that incident happened when he was [-] years old, his son changed.Generally speaking, it is a change for the better, but there will be incomprehensible stubbornness in many small things, just like now.

"Aren't you tired of saying the same thing every year? If you don't like it, you just don't like it. Anyway, our family's ancestors are European, and with this mixed-race face, no one will make irresponsible remarks." At this moment, Shen Er was extremely grateful that he had crossed over and became It was Matou Shinji, not a pure-blooded Japanese, otherwise even such an excuse would not be used.

"You can do whatever you want." He also had a helpless face. After he was six years old, he couldn't control his son anymore.

"Sorry." Shinji lowered his eyelids.

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal." Crane also waved his hand, "Let's go down, Sakura and Fujino are already waiting for you below."

In the living room of the Matou family, several other members of the family were already getting ready to go.

Seeing Shinji go down the stairs, Sakura and Fujino rushed up to meet him.

"Brother, happy new year."

"Shinji, Happy New Year."

Shen Er responded one by one:

"Happy New Year, Sakura. Happy New Year, Fujino. Happy New Year, Mother, Happy New Year, Uncle."

The last two sentences were addressed to stepmother Elsa and uncle Kariya. Since it is the first time, the whole family is naturally present.

"Shen Er, Happy New Year." The two elders responded with a smile.

No matter which country you are in, it is an indispensable etiquette to wish each other a happy new year, and to offer good wishes for the new year.

When the greeting was over, Sakura couldn't wait to turn around in front of Shinji's eyes, and asked while turning:

"Brother, do you think my new suit looks good?"

Sakura is wearing a newly-made kimono. The color of the kimono is the same as her name. The pink background is dotted with white petals, as if the colorful falling cherry blossoms in spring, which is eye-catching.

"It's pretty, it's so pretty." Shinji smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing Sakura's head habitually.

But this time, Sakura didn't enjoy her brother's touch like before, but took a few steps back, pursed her mouth: "Don't touch it, your hair will get messy."

In order to match the cherry blossom kimono, Sakura specially rolled up her long hair and inserted a cherry blossom hair accessory, pink and purple blue and white, the red is more delicate, and the purple is more pure.

Shinji withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and rubbed his nose embarrassedly.

Seeing Shinji's embarrassment, Fujino walked to Sakura's place and said:
"I also changed into new clothes."

"I see, it matches you very well." Shen Er narrowed his eyes to conceal the strange brilliance in them.

The Fujino in front of him gave him a feeling of palpitation.Fujino's kimono is a sky blue color opposite to Sakura's, and a little lighter than her hair.There are no other extra embellishments on the kimono, just relying on the change of blue shades, it gives people a pleasing feeling.

What's even more wonderful is that the natural layering formed between the color of the kimono and Fujino's long hair makes Fujino, who is already naturally beautiful, look even brighter and more charming.

The trace of girlish charm brought up by the flick of the hair tip inadvertently touched Shen Er's heart.

Should it be said that there is a girl in my family who has just grown up?Or is Project H a big success?
Although the age of the person who said this is a bit inappropriate.

PS: The so-called Project H is Guangyuan's plan, which is typical of the end of the official sick series "Fantasy Carnival" EX01.
