Mufeng was a little nervous.

New Year approached.

The New Year is naturally a festive event, and all the ministries of Dajiang are busy preparing for the New Year.

And he was nervous because he "looked" at the calendar while waiting for the red paper to dry, only to find that there were only 22 days from New Year's Day to the Waking of Insects.

In other words, in less than a month, I will be an adult again in this life.

The most important thing is that after the Waking of Insects, he will get married!

He suddenly panicked.

In his previous life, he was still an old bachelor. He didn't expect that he would get married at the age of seventeen in this life!

"Isn't it too early to get married at seventeen?"

"What if I grow taller after I get married?"

"If there is a child, who will take care of it?"

...

He suddenly worried about gain and loss, and began to chatter.

At the beginning, he didn't understand what was going on, but fortunately, the restlessness was also transmitted to the system.

The system's prompt is only five words - premarital phobia.

Typical feature is anxiety.

But after getting the prompt from the system, he suddenly became cheerful: Isn't it just to get married and have a wife, and it's not to beheaded and sent to death, I'm afraid of a woolen thread!

...

The day before New Year's Eve.

Mufeng finds Yuli, Lihu, Jiuzhu, Changshui, Huaguzi and others to make sure that there are no mistakes in the preparations for the New Year's Eve and the New Year. After confirming that they are correct, everyone starts to work.

Mu Feng tidied up the red paper and took a short dagger to use as a paper cutter.

Fetch the brush and ink again.

Since there was no inkstone, he had to spend extravagantly to take a porcelain bowl to make an inkstone—he thought in his heart that he would have to get an inkstone no matter what.

He originally wanted to write and paste the couplets together with the couplets.

Only then did I realize that the couplets focus on argumentation, department style, and family precepts, while the couplets are based on the situation, not so much.

Seeing that New Year's Eve was approaching, he gave up the couplets and did not write them for the time being. Afterwards, he thought of a pair suitable for Jiang, and carved the words around the city gate.

Now what he wants to write is Spring Festival couplets.

Most of the Spring Festival couplets have five, seven, nine, and eleven characters.

If I really want to elaborate on the exquisiteness of the Spring Festival couplets, Mu Feng reckons that it would be an academic article in his previous life.

But right now he is going to spend the Spring Festival, not doing research, so he chose the seven-character couplet as the main one, and the five-character couplet as the supplement.

There is a nine-character couplet written at the city gate.

Although Dragon City is a gate for one family, to Mu Feng it is a gate for everyone, so it uses many words.

The conventional wisdom of the Master is that "the more words, the louder the sound, the more complete the meaning".

In order to facilitate the memory of the tribe, he made a rule:

At the gate of the city, there are nine-character spring couplets.

At the earth building, there are seven-character spring couplets.

There are five-character Spring Festival couplets at the door of each room.

As for the blessing characters, horizontal scripts, and such things as the prosperity of animals, tap water, tap wind, and health, they are all written and pasted according to the customs of the previous life.

This year is the first year of New Year's Eve in Dajiang Longcheng, which is both a demonstration and a trial, so many things have to be controlled by Mu Feng himself.

Writing Spring Festival couplets for this item alone makes him very busy.

In desperation, he had no choice but to write the couplets about the city gates and earth buildings by himself.

The rest of the buildings and rooms were written by Dahuyou, Jiuzhu, Changshui, Huaguzi and others who are more brilliant at writing.

Even so, one or two thousand couplets is still a big project for everyone.
In the end, it was really helpless, so Mu Feng had to call Bai Yue, Han Shu and a child named Hassan to help him—after all, their handwriting was barely readable.

The rest of the people who couldn't pick up the pen to write the Spring Festival couplets on the red paper, especially Konoha and Asuka scratched their heads and hated why they didn't practice more.

Even Lei Long rubbed his hands excitedly, picked up his pen and put it down again.

Even so, they are not enough!

In desperation, he had to temporarily call the children who had already been "on vacation" back to the classroom and asked them to write on the spot.

He will be selected on the spot.

Fortunately, in this way, nearly 50 children were selected at once and their writing was quite correct. Mu Feng gathered these children together and told them how to write Spring Festival couplets on the spot.

The amount of labor is reduced exponentially.

Mu Feng was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and "inspected" the progress of various things in the tribe.

Of course, they are busy writing Spring Festival couplets, and the rest are not idle.

Li Hu and his people were busy arranging charcoal fires, firewood and other necessities for the New Year in and out of Longcheng.

Ji Yang led people to kill pigs and sheep, boil water, shed hair, cut them up, process offal, and fill sausages with blood...

Jihua was also doing the final checkup on all the pregnant women in the tribal clinic together with Bai Fang to make sure that there was nothing wrong.

The children who were not selected to write big characters were a little bit disappointed at first, but they were quickly attracted by the howling of pigs being slaughtered.

Mufeng's eyes lit up.

He thought of a fun thing he could only play with when he was killing pigs when he was a child-pig bladder!

When I was young, it didn't matter who slaughtered the pig, not to mention other things, the pig bladder was reserved by my own children long ago.

Because the conditions in the countryside are not good, there are no toys. Pig bladders are used to inflate them as balloons.

Suddenly, Mufeng's childlike temper became brighter, and he asked Jiyang for a pig bladder, led a group of children to the pool, filled it with water, washed it clean, and removed the smell of urine, then wrapped a thin bamboo tube around the mouth of the bladder and blew vigorously.

After a while, it was blown into a bulging balloon.

Then he tied it with a rope, held it in his hand, and asked, "Is it fun?"

A group of children stared straight at the "balloon" floating up.

They watched with their own eyes that the big chief blew up the pig so big like a magic trick, and then miraculously floated up, and they cheered in unison: "It's fun!"

Then Mu Feng smiled and handed the "balloon" in his hand to a child: "Hey, I'll give it to you!"

The little kid was jumping for joy, excited, and grinning.

The rest of the children were full of envy.

Mu Feng smiled and said: "If you want anything else, go find Uncle Ji Yang yourself, and do it yourself!"

"it is good!"

The children all clamored and rushed to the front of the pig killer...

Mu Feng rubbed his chin, feeling quite guilty - he was also a great chief after all, and he still did such childish things.

Fortunately, Dajiang's clansmen are all busy now, excitedly preparing for tomorrow's "Chinese New Year", so they don't have time to pay attention to these.

And even if they pay attention, they won't have other thoughts.

In their view, Mu Feng has his reasons for everything he does.

Otherwise, who can make a tribe develop to what it is now in a year?

Mu Feng continued to walk forward, and saw a lot of people piled together with bamboo on their shoulders, and at the same time, some people kept yelling.

"The bamboo is for setting off tomorrow, so don't get it wet!"

"Don't mention it, the sound of these bamboos burning is really loud!"

"Which tribe can celebrate the New Year like us?"

"Haha, they are all great chiefs!"

...

In full swing.

Crowded.
