Chapter 421: Spring Festival
Influenced by Chinese traditions, it is said that the Chinese New Year has been celebrated in Korea since the Silla period, but during the Japanese colonial rule of Korea, it was strictly forbidden to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and if a child was found in a lunch box for sacrificial purposes, the child was punished.
As a result, as a traditional festival, the Spring Festival has experienced a process of "waiting" in South Korea, and it was not until 1985 that it reappeared under the name of "Folk Day", and in 1999, South Korea officially resumed the Spring Festival, which has also become the most solemn festival in South Korea.
In South Korea, the Spring Festival is "Old Zheng", which corresponds to the New Year as "New Zheng", which is the meaning of the old calendar year, and is traditionally also known as "Yuan Ri", "Year First", etc., and the state stipulates that the Spring Festival is a three-day holiday, which is the longest holiday in a year.
Many Koreans think that Chinese people like to be lively, in the southern region, the streets are full of people during the Spring Festival, very lively, while Koreans spend the Spring Festival relatively quietly, shops are closed, and the streets are very deserted.
In fact, this was the case in China in the early years, but later, especially after entering the 21st century, it is not difficult to find that when it comes to the Spring Festival, the streets of China's cities are also very deserted, shops are closed, and the lively places have shifted from the cities to the countryside.
However, while the Spring Festival in South Korea is similar to the Spring Festival in China, it is also different.
For example, people in both countries will give their juniors New Year's money during the Spring Festival, but the difference is that Chinese people use red paper packaging to press New Year's money, while Koreans are used to using white envelopes to press New Year's money.
……
During the Spring Festival this year, Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren decided to go home separately for the New Year and not spend it together.
On the one hand, because the two are not in a hurry to meet each other's parents for the time being.
On the other hand, because both of them are very busy this Spring Festival, Han Jiaren will take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to deal with some work that must be handled. Among them, taking a few days to shoot a commercial for Lotte World, Kim Kyung-sung had to plan a unique concert in addition to his usual heavy workload.
However, the two agreed that from next year, the Spring Festival will be spent together.
……
On the afternoon of February 8. Jin Jingcheng finished the work at hand and returned to Jin's house to start the New Year.
Koreans pay attention to going home for the New Year, and have something in common with the Chinese country, no matter where Koreans work, no matter how far away from their hometown, when it comes to the Spring Festival, they must rush back to their hometown to reunite, and if their parents are there, they will return to their parents. If the parents are absent, the eldest brother is the father, and he goes to the eldest brother's house to reunite with the siblings.
Jin Jingcheng is naturally no exception.
In the evening of this day, Jin's father, Jin's mother Zhao Huishan, eldest brother Kim Jong-myung, second brother Kim Jong-kook, and Kim Jingcheng had a dinner together for the group members.
Rejoicing. Father Kim and Cho Hye Sun couldn't help but mention Kim Jong Kook's love problem, after all, Kim Jong Kook is thirty years old. made Kim Jong Kook a little embarrassed, but Kim Jingcheng secretly rejoiced, glad that he was not too old, at least not to the extent that he was urged to marry by his parents.
The next morning, as is customary, Jin Jingcheng got up early. Worshipping the ancestors with the Jin family and offering food and drink to the ancestors means the beginning of a new year.
After the sacrifice, the three brothers Kim Jong Myung, Kim Jong Kook, and Kim Jing Cheng paid New Year's greetings to Father Jin and Zhao Hui together, and the two elders also wished for it. gave each of the three of them a New Year's money, which is also a habit, even if the three brothers are now in full swing in their respective careers, there is no shortage of New Year's money, if the three brothers don't accept it, they will be criticized and educated by the traditional golden father.
After doing these etiquette, Jin Jingcheng went back to the bedroom and slept under the bed, which was understandable to both Jin's father and Zhao Huishan, they both knew that Jin Jingcheng's work was heavy on weekdays, and now that it was finally the Spring Festival, it was natural for Jin Jingcheng to take advantage of this time to rest.
However, both Father Jin and Zhao Huishan can understand, but there is one person who seems to be dissatisfied with this.
She is Kim Kyung-sung's niece Soya.
As soon as Jin Jingcheng got into the bed, and not long after he fell asleep, Soya got into his bedroom and walked directly to the bed and lifted his futon.
Jin Jingcheng found out that the person was Soya in a daze, and couldn't help but shout: "Ah, little Soya, what are you doing!"
Soya sneered, thinking that this cousin would have such a cute appearance, since Jin Jingcheng returned to China last year, he has started his prosperous career, Soya has always been concerned, and naturally knows that when Jin Jingcheng appears in front of the camera, he is either a great talent or a calm image, even if it is humorous, it is also humorous.
Soya was in high spirits and kept making trouble with Kim Jong-sung.
"Cousin, get up!"
"Cousin, you are still snooze during the Spring Festival!"
"Cousin, if you don't get up again, I'll take a picture of you!"
"Cousin, I'm really going to take a picture and post it on the Internet!"
“……”
Finally, Jin Jingcheng couldn't fall asleep anymore, and sat up from the bed with a "ah" sound, and was about to reprimand a few words loudly, but Soya, the little girl, had already run out quickly.
"It seems that I am a tired life, and I can't even rest well during the Spring Festival. ”
Jin Jingcheng muttered with tears and laughter.
While muttering, Jin Jingcheng quickly got dressed.
"Hah, cousin, you're finally up!"
As soon as Kim walked out of the bedroom, Soya jumped up in front of him and shouted.
Jin Jingcheng stretched out his hand, slapped Soya on the head twice, and said angrily, "You little guy is really annoying." ”
Soya suddenly said dissatisfied: "What is annoying, I am also good for you, how can you sleep on such a happy festival as the Spring Festival?
Jin Jingcheng couldn't cry or laugh again, and then handed a prepared white envelope to Soya: "Take it, press the New Year's money." ”
Soya said dissatisfiedly again: "Cousin, you are really, like I came to you to press for money. ”
After all, Soya happily caught the white envelope.
However, after receiving the New Year's money, Soya still blocked Jin Chengcheng.
Jin Jingcheng asked, "Is there anything else?"
Soya said: "It's nothing, it's the Spring Festival, I'm here to pay New Year's greetings." ”
Jin Jingcheng smiled and asked, "Is it really okay?"
As he spoke, Jin Jingcheng's gaze was fixed on Soya, with a strange look in his eyes.
Soya was quickly overwhelmed by him.
After a pause, Soya mustered up the courage to say, "Cousin, I heard that you are going to have a concert in two days?"
Jin Jingcheng nodded.
Soya said, "And with Uncle Chung's cousin?"
Jin Jingcheng nodded again.
"I'd like to see what the hell you're up to with this little girl!"
Jin Jingcheng thought in his heart. (To be continued......)
