Vol 2 Chapter 501: Spring Festival
PS: I still owe the chapter "The Rogue Rabbit" plus more! !
Zhang Pingan took Pani and Taeyeon to the living room again. Zhang Pingan smiled and said to his parents: "Happy New Year. I will bring them to the two elders." Zhang Pingan knelt on the ground first, and then he Pulled Taeyeon who was standing next to her: "Kneel down and worship the elders, do you remember the Chinese I taught you earlier?"
Before Taeyeon could answer, Pani nodded and said, "Remember."
There is a tradition of kneeling down during the Korean Spring Festival. Even if you go to a friend's house, you need to kneel down when you see a friend's family, because this is the tradition of the Spring Festival. So Taeyeon and Pani didn't have any psychological burdens, and they took it for granted.
But in Huaxia, the meaning of "kneeling" is different. Even the parents of very good friends cannot accept kneeling, so accepting them to bow to themselves... can only be regarded as daughters-in-law!
Zhang Pingan took Taeyeon to kneel and worshipped with this meaning, but he did not tell Taeyeon, who knew that Pani suddenly joined the fun? Hearing that Pani was also going to participate in this bowing, he scratched his head blankly.
Zhang Ping'an looked at Pani's irony appearance, which made Zhang's father who was watching all this momentarily widen his eyes, but Zhang's mother smiled plainly. Because of the embarrassment that Zhang Ping'an showed, both of them have discovered that the father has not been so romantic yet, and he is actually a son... what a patience!
And Zhang's mother felt that it didn't matter if she could find a few more sons. After all, the family was big enough to live in and support.
If this happened to the daughter, it would be 100% going to war. But things fall to my son. Being a mother is more accepting. This is a bit of a ‘state official’s arson’. At this time, Mother Jang was very accepting of this situation. She looked at Pani and Taeyeon, all standing on the right side of Zhang Ping An. The Korean tradition is that men are on the left and women are on the right. And Zhang Pingan was also a little speechless, but he couldn’t say anything. He could only accept that Pani followed him and Taeyeon and bowed down to his parents and parents. Both of them used Korean salutes, and Zhang Pingan used them. It's a Chinese-style kowtow, of course it's just one, if it's three... then it's a draw!
After the salute, the three stood up. Taeyeon said in a very suffocated, and now selling Chinese, "Uncles and aunts, happy new year, healthy and longevity."
Pani also said: "Happy New Year, healthy and longevity."
Mother Zhang smiled and nodded and said: "Good, good, happy. Come, if you don't prepare a red envelope, this thing will be regarded as your meeting gift."
Mother Zhang took out two boxes from behind her. There was no brand logo. Taeyeon and Pani reached out and took the box of the same size. They both opened the box face to face. Inside the box was a bracelet lying quietly. , One per person. It is not an emerald green jade bracelet, but a gold bracelet, a gold bracelet inlaid with filigree, the center of the Taeyeon bracelet is a blooming flower, gold is matched with beads, jade, and gems. The whole bracelet is very luxurious and exquisite.
And Pani’s bracelet is also inlaid with filigree, but the middle is not a flower, but a painting of dotted green. Of course, it cannot be the dot emerald of the ‘kingfisher’ feathers, but the dot emerald of the feathers of the parrots, and the parrots will change their feathers every year, and the fallen things will be used to dot the emerald. These are all Chinese national skills!
After looking at this bracelet, the two were a little sluggish. Let alone the preciousness of gold, this bracelet alone is a top craft.
Mother Zhang smiled and said: "It's not expensive, it's a traditional handicraft work handed down from China."
The bracelets of these traditional handicrafts are still much inferior to the value of the imperial green bracelets. The price of gold is clearly real, and the weight of gold after drawing is not too heavy, mainly because of the cost of a handicraft, which is also good. As long as it is not antique-grade filigree inlays, it is generally much cheaper than jade. Perhaps it is the phrase "gold has a price, jade is priceless" circulating in China?
After all, the value of gold is clearly written there every day, which allows gold to always have an international standard for measurement. As for jade, there is no accurate value standard. Anyway, jade is hyped by people in the industry.
Zhang Pingan glanced at their bracelets and said: "Filigree inlays, now many people are beginning to pay attention to intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship, right?"
Mother Zhang nodded and smiled and said, "Hey, I didn't expect you to know about filigree inlays? These cultures must be well protected. The craftsmanship line can't make these exquisite gadgets, and the traditional craftsmanship of China can't be forgotten! "
"Yeah" After Zhang Ping an nodded, he took out the bracelet from Taeyeon's box, and then took her hand to put it on. Taeyeon, whose skin is extremely fair, her hands are as smooth and delicate as panned jade. The white hands, the looming blue veins and blood veins on the backs of the hands, and the flower gold bracelet inlaid with the blooming filigree, they really match beautifully!
Standing on the side, Pani didn't dare to let Zhang Pingan wear a bracelet for herself, so she picked it up and put it on herself. She kept praising the exquisite bracelet in English. Under the light, Diancui kept changing the shade and reflectance of the color, so she touched Diancui with her hand, and then scraped the pattern with her nails to have a silky touch: "Is this a feather or silk?"
Zhang Ping’an responded with a smile: “Of course it’s feathers. This is a handicraft handed down from China, called Diancui. The feathers of kingfishers were used in the past. Unfortunately, the development of Diancui’s craftsmanship has caused all kingfishers to become extinct. Now I use parrots and various bird feathers to make jade. It’s a very complicated process."
Taeyeon's bracelets are decorated with precious stones on the stamens of the flowers to make them come alive. And Pani's Diancui is another kind of beauty. There is no better or worse because they are all top crafts.
When the two looked at the gold bracelets on their wrists, Mother Zhang smiled contentedly and nodded and said: "Let's go, go to dinner."
.......
The big round dining table, the seat is like the royal seat in European TV series, the back of the chair is higher than the head. The royal style of red and gold is simply vulgar to Zhang Ping'an. But the architectural style of the room is like this, there is no way that the decoration of the house can also follow the European style.
Zhang Pingan picked up one of the hairy crabs, handed one to Taeyeon, and then to Pani: "China’s hairy crabs." Then Zhang Pingan picked up one of them and showed them to them. He unbuttoned the back shell. The crab was full of yellow crabs. Exposed,
Taeyeon raised her eyebrows in surprise when she looked at so many crab roe, Zhang Ping took a bite of the crab roe with chopsticks and fed it to Taeyeon. And Taeyeon didn't open her mouth for the first time, but floated her eyes in the direction of his parents. Seeing that they didn't pay attention to her side, she stretched her head and took Zhang Ping'an's feed with her mouth.
No matter what kind of crab, the crab roe is very delicious. After the entrance, the deliciousness of the crab roe exploded in the mouth. Taeyeon smiled and nodded and said, "It's really delicious."
When Taeyeon started to deal with her hairy crabs, Zhang Ping’an’s father mentioned the decanter: “Come on, it’s the new year, everyone pour a little, it means something.”
Zhang Ping'an got up and picked up his own cup, holding the cup with both hands to pick up his father's wine. Taeyeon and Pani followed Zhang Pingan's appearance in turn. They did not forget to say "Thank you" in English after receiving the wine.
Everyone was holding their wine glasses, and Mother Zhang said: "Happy New Year." Of course it was in English.
Pani and Taeyeon reiterated the phrase "Happy New Year".
Zhang Pingan didn’t know anything about wine tasting, and he wouldn’t pretend to smell it. He carried the wine glass to his mouth. When the mouth of the wine glass enveloped Zhang Pingan’s nose like a mask, he naturally smelled the wine. The aroma and fruity aroma are very strong, worthy of the aged wine that has been cellared.
But after the wine entered his mouth, Zhang Pingan couldn’t taste it carefully. After tasting the wine, Zhang Pingan put down the glass, and Zhang Pingan turned to Taeyeon beside him and said, “Drink less, you drank your face.”
Taeyeon smiled sweetly and nodded in response: "I see."
And Zhang Ping’an’s father showed a gentle smile when he saw this, because he found that his son was special to this little girl, he planned to talk to Zhang’s mother after dinner even though they didn’t understand. Chinese, but talking in front of them is still undesirable.
During the meal, Zhang Ping’an took care of Taeyeon and Pani, telling them the meaning of each dish and some traditions. They were eating while listening to Zhang Ping's story.
And Zhang's father and Zhang's mother watched this scene quietly, with a gentle smile on their faces and a very comfortable heart. Sometimes you will find that when you get together, there is nothing more important than a family reunion, especially the family happiness in this situation. If you add the little grandson, the picture will be more perfect.
The dishes are very rich, but everyone's appetite is not very big, a cup of Buddha jumped over the wall to drink cleanly. After the meal, Father Zhang and Mother Zhang sat in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala, while Zhang Pingan took Taeyeon and Pani to the courtyard and started the carnival tonight with fireworks.
Fireworks from earth tree flowers, magic bullets soaring to the sky, and gorgeous fireworks exploding in the sky. Every spark in the sky illuminates Taeyeon’s smile at night. Although the fireworks are short, Taeyeon’s smile is unforgettable in Zhang Ping’an’s heart.
He and her looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky with their fingers intertwined. Suddenly, Zhang Pingan felt as if nothing could beat her smile, because her smile was brighter than fireworks! !
Looking at her smile, Zhang Ping An lit three boxes of fireworks at one time. When she looked up at the fireworks in full bloom, Zhang Ping lowered his head and kissed her cheek..
When Pani, who was standing by, saw this scene, she took a long breath and turned back to the room depressed. Maybe she shouldn't come to China with this ‘Spring Festival’?
The kiss of the two of them under the fireworks was too romantic and too dreamy. Pani was moved by this scene, and envied...
