According to traditional Chinese customs, setting off firecrackers when moving house is to express joy and drive away all evil spirits.
Some people will also put an axe in the pot, with the handle wrapped in red cloth, to signify "good fortune" and to symbolize a "prosperous and thriving" life.
In some places, it is customary to take out some grains and scatter them in the courtyard to symbolize a "harvest of grains".
Although Chen Dong didn't advocate these things, it was something that the older generation had passed down, and everyone did it this way. He didn't want to spoil everyone's fun because of his own personal reasons.
Next.
Chen Dong got up from the sofa and walked towards the master bedroom on the third floor.
After entering the room, I put the property documents from my bag into the cabinet before going downstairs.
This is called "not entering a house empty-handed".
In some places, it is called "accumulating wealth".
This is also one of the customs associated with moving.
Generally speaking, on the day of moving, when the homeowner first enters the house, they should carry some valuables in their hands.
For example, you should bring a rice bucket, a bankbook, etc. In short, you can't enter the house empty-handed.
Chen Dong came downstairs and gave the instructions.
"Uncle Fu, please keep the lights on in the house for the next few days."
"Okay, boss."
"Yes, this is for you."
As he spoke, Chen Dong took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Fu.
In Hong Kong, red envelopes are also called "lai see".
During holidays and festivals, bosses who are particular about etiquette will usually give out red packets (containing money) to their employees.
HK$20 is a fairly common amount, emphasizing that it's a small gift with a big meaning.
Especially during the Chinese New Year.
Married people give red envelopes to unmarried people; adults give red envelopes to children; men give red envelopes to women; bosses give red envelopes to employees...
Some people receive hundreds of red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
Don't think that having a lot of red envelopes means you'll get rich. When you open the red envelopes, you'll find that there are only one or two yuan.
That's the custom here; everyone wants something joyful and auspicious.
certainly!
The red envelope that Chen Dongbao gave was not just ten or twenty dollars, but a full 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The amount of money wasn't much; all of them together had only HK$20,000.
But this money was definitely well spent.
"Thank you, boss!"
Uncle Fu accepted the red envelope with both hands and carefully put it into his pocket.
"This is yours, Manager Ma."
With a smile on his face, Chen Dong took out another red envelope and handed it to Ma Guoliang.
These red envelopes were prepared in advance by Wolong at Chen Dong's request.
On the one hand, according to local custom, new employees are given lucky money to start the work year.
On the other hand, moving to a new house is always a joyous occasion.
As for whether a HK$1,000 red envelope for starting a business is too much?
The answer is simple: money talks!
Ma Guoliang grinned, accepted the red envelope from Chen Dong with both hands, and said happily, "Thank you, boss! I wish you great wealth and prosperity!"
Chen Dong smiled upon hearing this and said.
"Let's go out and have some fun!"
The three of them walked out of the villa.
At this moment, everyone was gathered together in the courtyard.
Anne was directing several servants to neatly arrange the firecrackers on the ground and connect the fuses together.
Upon seeing Chen Dong, she smiled at him and said, "Boss, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
Upon hearing this...
Chen Dong smiled and said, "Everyone, stop for a moment."
Everyone was stunned, stopped what they were doing, and looked at Chen Dong.
"Today is a joyous occasion for your housewarming and also the day you start work. I've prepared some lucky money for everyone to start your new job."
With a smile on his face, Chen Dong walked steadily to each employee and handed them red envelopes.
"Thank you, boss!"
"Thank you, boss!"
Everyone beamed with joy, uttering auspicious words.
"Me, I have one too?"
When it was Anne's turn, she blinked her beautiful eyes and asked playfully.
"Of course, everyone gets a share."
Chen Dong smiled, but his tone was very firm.
"Thank you, boss, I absolutely love you."
The next second.
Her delicate body was drawn into his arms.
Annie gave him a big hug.
Chen Dong's expression froze. He was caught off guard by the sudden hug and was somewhat at a loss for words. All he could think about was the soft touch of the embrace and the familiar scent.
Fortunately, it didn't last long.
Annie released her arms, took a small step back, her beautiful eyes curved into crescents, her face flushed, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"pain!"
Just as Annie was looking smug, Chen Dong, with a stern face, reached out his long, slender finger and lightly flicked her forehead, saying...
"No respect for elders."
"snort!"
Anne let out a soft snort, thinking to herself with great resentment.
"You're the one who's a child."
Just then, Ma Guoliang's voice rang out from afar.
"Boss, the firecrackers are ready, you can light them now."
"good!"
Chen Dong responded with a sound of agreement, then glared at Annie with a fierce look before turning and leaving.
Watching Chen Dong's departing figure, Annie stomped her feet in anger.
"You little brat, you flicked my forehead and you're being mean to me. I'll remember this. I'll teach you a lesson later."
By the end, Annie herself couldn't help but laugh.
......
at the same time.
Chen Nan and his group also met Chen Xuelin and his companions at the station.
Along the way.
The two little ones kept screaming.
"Look, why is this building so tall?"
"Look over there, there are so many people."
