While everyone was busy with their own affairs, time passed quietly, and before we knew it, it was the end of December, and the Korean New Year was coming soon.Nan Yunzhe and Han Meishu had already prepared for the new year. They would bring Nan Huizhen together and go home to spend the New Year with Nan Huizhen's grandparents.According to the Korean tradition, as a university professor, Nam Yoon-chul, who had been working leisurely, took his wife and daughter, and drove his own private car back to his parents’ home in Gyeongsangbuk-do before the peak time of returning home during the Spring Festival. Sangju. [Note 1] Nam Yoon-cheol's parents are more typical Korean elderly people who pay more attention to traditional culture. The daily dress on weekdays is Hanbok.Therefore, it can also be said that they do as the Romans do. Since returning to Gyeongsangbuk-do, the three members of Nam Yunzhe's family have all changed into Hanbok.But it was like this every year, and they didn't feel uncomfortable.On New Year's Day, Nan Yunzhe's two brothers came back with their wives and children to celebrate the New Year.

The Nan family is three brothers. Except for the second eldest, Nam Yunzhe, who stays in Seoul to work, the other two brothers live in Daegu, the capital of Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Gyeongju, the capital of Gyeongsangbuk-do. They are not too far away from their parents. , also somewhat take care of each other. [Note 2] The elder brother of the Nan family runs a small supermarket and has a good business. His wife is an ordinary housewife. He has two sons, one of whom has gone to college and the other has gone to the army.The third son of the Nan family is an ordinary office worker. His wife was a company employee before marriage, but after marriage, under the intervention of her mother-in-law, she also quit her job and concentrated on being a housewife at home. They only have one daughter, but The year before last, she was admitted to a pretty good university, which made this third daughter-in-law, who had never been able to talk much between her sister-in-law, very proud. [Note 3] The relationship between the three brothers of the Nan family is not bad. This is also due to the beauty of distance. The brothers have grown up and married, and they live in different cities on weekdays. They don’t see each other several times a year. After seeing each other after a long time, I feel a little bit missing in my heart, so my attitude will be much gentler, and of course there will be no conflicts.

If several brothers lived in the same courtyard, they would be far from being so harmonious and friendly. After all, each has his own family, and the brothers who grew up together in the past also have their own struggles. something.This is the cruelty of modern life. Many times, brothers, brothers, blood and family ties can never be worth the attack of firewood, rice, oil, salt, and parents. It makes people feel embarrassed and helpless.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the young and old in the Nan family got up to freshen up. After washing, everyone put on the Hanbok specially prepared to welcome the New Year, and then the whole family held an ancestor worship ceremony together.During the sacrifice, the tablets or portraits of the ancestors are arranged according to the family tree, and various offerings are placed on the table.

Because the parents of the Nan family are very traditional, the offerings of the Nan family's sacrifices are strictly in accordance with the rules of "fish east and meat west", "head east and tail west", "red east and white west", "raw east and cooked west", "left rice and right soup" and other rules. .After all the preparations were completed, the old man of the Nan family led the descendants, poured wine for the ancestors, kowtowed to the ancestors in turn, expressed his gratitude to the ancestors, and prayed that the ancestors would bless the descendants in the new year.All of this has many similarities with the traditional Chinese Spring Festival.

After the ancestor worship ceremony is over, the whole family will eat the first "rice cake soup" of the New Year together. This is also an indispensable breakfast for Koreans during the New Year. When waiting for the New Year with the Chinese, southerners eat glutinous rice balls, while northerners The custom of eating dumplings has the same effect. 【Note 4】"New Year Cake Soup" is made of thinly sliced ​​white rice cakes, boiled together with beef and other ingredients.Although this has become a daily diet in South Korea, many Koreans still insist that eating rice cake soup during the Chinese New Year means that they have grown another year, and it also symbolizes the happiness of reunion in the new year.However, just like any nation, with the development of modernization, these traditional things in the city are slowly dying out.

In South Korea, the "Lunar New Year" is the second largest holiday after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The whole country has a three-day holiday, which is also the longest legal holiday in the whole year. [Note 5] If you are lucky sometimes, after the three-day Chinese New Year holiday is over, and it happens to be a weekend, you can have two more days off, otherwise, everyone will need to drive back to their homes. Ready to get back to work.So, after spending a few days with Nan's father and Nan's mother, the brothers from the Nan family went back to their respective homes.Nan Yunzhe is okay, he is a university professor, he is also on vacation when the students are on vacation, life is just a leisurely time.

On the contrary, Han Meishu started to get busy. She is writing a script. To be precise, she took over to write a script. Originally, Han Meishu had no writing plan in the first half of the year, but her friend in the same industry had some accidents. With some injuries, the script that just started in my hand can't be written down immediately, but the selection of materials for this script is time-consuming and laborious to write, so if I wait for the injury to heal before writing, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the agreed script delivery It's time.So her friend, after thinking twice, asked Han Meishu to come here, hoping that her friend could finish the script for her.Han Meishu couldn't shirk it, but finally agreed.

And Nan Huizhen, who has nothing to do like her father, went to pay New Year's greetings to Abigale in Hanbok.It was the first time I saw a girl wearing a Hanbok. The old French lady curiously pulled the girl to look around, couldn't stop praising the girl's beauty, and said that Nan Huizhen should take good care of herself like this, and It's not that she doesn't dress well all day long, and she doesn't look like a girl at all. To say this is to let down her delicate appearance.After the rebuke was over, the old woman came towards the door like a reinforcement, but the young man who had not made a sound asked for confirmation: "Shengxian, do you think what I said is right? Do you also think that Xiao Huizhen Would it be pretty if you tidy it up a little?"

The girl with her back to the door, as soon as she heard that Cui Shengxian was coming, she turned her head to look for it, and she saw Cui Shengxian wearing a black slim down jacket, dark blue jeans, a thick scarf, a string cap and earbags, standing At the door, he looked at the two with a slightly unnatural expression.It’s been a while since I’ve seen each other, the girl happily ran over, happily wanting to reach out to grab Cui Shengxian’s hand, asking him to come in, but the young man subconsciously avoided it a second before touching Cui Shengxian’s hand.The girl took a moment, a little puzzled and slightly wronged, and looked at Cui Shengxian with questioning eyes. In those clear eyes, it was clearly written: Why hide?

Under such questioning, Cui Shengxian couldn't help avoiding his eyes, feeling a little guilty, he cleared his throat as a cover, and explained to the girl: "Well, Hui Zhen, my brother's hands are very cold, they will freeze you Yes." The girl smiled nonchalantly, shook her head, took the young man's hand, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm not afraid." So the young man's hand, which was still cold in winter, was warmed by the girl's warm and soft palm. wrap up.

It was as if Cui Shengxian had been electrified at this moment, and the electric current, from the clasped hands, went numb to the heart, causing the whole heartbeat to speed up immediately.He could only walk in with the girl's strength while trying to adjust his breathing, lest his heartbeat would be so loud that the girl who was a step away could hear it.

When the girl led the young man closer, Abigale smiled and patted the young man she had watched for so many years, and said, "Oh, our big star finally remembered me as an old woman, and knew to come to see me." Cui Shengxian borrowed At this opportunity, with a little effort, she broke away from Nan Huizhen's hand, and said New Year greetings to the old woman: "Abigale, I wish you a happy New Year, good luck and prosperity." The old woman gave the young man a hug and said, "Thank you, you too Oh, in the new year, big stars have to keep working hard." Cui Shengxian nodded with a smile, and complied with the old lady's request.

"Ah, I was interrupted by you, and I almost forgot the topic just now." The old woman suddenly remembered the topic before Cui Shengxian came, and continued to ask: "Shengxian, tell me, does Hui Zhen look better than usual? Too many? Tell me about this girl, why doesn’t she care about her own attire?” Saying this, the bossy old man began to instruct Nan Huizhen again: “Come, come, Huizhen, come and go around Let Shengxian see the whole picture." The girl was a little shy, pursed her lips, and obediently listened to the old woman's words, and turned around on the spot.

She is dressed in light pink chiguri, with light-colored embroidery on the cuffs and front, a purple ribbon on the front, and a pink long skirt. When she turns around, the skirt rises up like a flower The upside-down tulips, the purple ribbon and the small tassel pendant tied under the clothes also drew a beautiful arc in the air. [Note 6] After she turned around several times, the girl stopped and looked at him with blushing eyes, with a bit of shame on her face, as if she was expecting the youth's evaluation, this kind of Nan Huizhen made Cui Shengxian lose everything After a while, he found his own voice and said, "It looks good." Two simple words, I don't know what else to say, but just these two words, the girl smiled happily When he got up, he looked completely satisfied, as if the young man had said something brilliant enough to praise him.

This is the second time that Cui Shengxian lost his mind for Nan Huizhen, he can no longer lie to himself, although even now, he still hasn't figured out how he started to change his mind about the girl in front of him, But all of this, there is no way to change his current established state.He knew that his heart was moved, and it had been a long time since he ended his last relationship that he hadn't experienced such a feeling of heartbeat stalling, so he was also jerky and panicked to face this feeling.

He is no longer a teenager. Although he is still young, Cui Shengxian's thinking is much deeper than many of his peers. It's just that most of the time, he likes to keep himself simple, because simple People who are happy don't think too much and are always happier.But at such a time, Cui Shengxian knew that he had to think about it early, whether to let this kind of emotion swell, or to kill this kind of emotion early and retreat to a safe distance.

No matter which one, Cui Shengxian needs time to think clearly about his own mind, this is his responsibility to himself, and also the treasure to Nan Huizhen.Looking at the smiling girl holding Abigale's arm and talking softly with the old woman, he seemed to be infected by such a warm atmosphere, and the corners of his lips curved a little. He thought: let's think about it carefully, whether to move forward , or back off, she's good enough to deserve the utmost care
