Winter nights always seem long. The people of the Qingque tribe rarely stay up late. Even if they need to stand guard at night, they work in two shifts. It is rare for them to stay up all night like this.

Therefore, by the second half of the night, many people had already fallen asleep due to sleepiness.

Han Cheng was fine. On the one hand, he missed the new year, and on the other hand, he had a history of staying up late for a long time. The current level was just a drizzle for him.

After a while, the people of the Qingque tribe who could no longer bear it finally followed Han Cheng's suggestion and half of them went back to their rooms to sleep.

After sleeping for a while, get up and change the remaining half.

Although Wu wanted to stay up all night, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to sleep.

However, Huo Er and Shi Tou, one old and one young, are very energetic.

Huo Er was the person in charge of taking care of the fire at night in the Qingque tribe. He had the habit of staying up late, and now he looked more energetic than during the day.

Shitou has been drawing the moon at night for a long time and is gradually showing signs of becoming a night owl.

The drum beats would resound at regular intervals, and the flames of the fire never diminished because Fireman was constantly adding wood to the fire.

We had dinner before it got dark. Although I felt bloated at the time, the food in my stomach has been almost digested by now.

Han Cheng asked the eldest brother who insisted on not sleeping to get some meat and share it with the people who stayed here. They pierced the meat with tree forks and roasted it slowly around the fire, which was quite wild and interesting.

This person is from the Qingque tribe. It’s their first time having midnight snack and the feeling is even more amazing.

During the New Year holidays, they suddenly experienced many strange and unforgettable things that they had never thought of before.

After eating a piece of barbecue, Shitou carefully picked up the two pottery plates he had carved and looked at them carefully in front of the fire.

Now, he attached more importance to the two pottery plates. It was based on the moon he had carved on the pottery plates that the Son of God could determine the day of the coming new year, and his tribe could prepare everything in advance.

During the long night, people always have to say something to pass the time. Han Cheng told a simple story, which caused everyone in the Qingque tribe to exclaim in amazement. Then, as they chatted, the topic turned to the years and months.

Influenced by the Son of God, Stone, who likes to name things, suddenly had the idea of ​​giving a name to the newly appeared year.

Because this was the first year after the rough calendar was invented, he named this year the First Year and asked Han Cheng for his opinion.

Shitou's practice of naming the year reminded Han Cheng that he really needed to give the year a name. Otherwise, the recent years could still be distinguished by using terms such as the year before last, the year before last, last year, and this year. But once a long time has passed, it is inevitable that he will get confused.

The first year can also be used to refer to this year, but it just doesn’t sound very nice.

Han Cheng was thinking this, when suddenly a joking idea came to his mind. He smiled and said, "Let's call it the Green Bird Three Years."

"Green Bird Three Years?"

Shitou repeated what Han Cheng said, his eyes lit up and some spirit flowed, but soon he became confused again.

Qingque refers to their Qingque tribe. Naming the year after Qingque is a very good idea. When people hear it, they know that it is something from their Qingque tribe. It sounds much better than the first year they named themselves.

But this year is only the first year of the appearance of the year. Why didn’t the Son of God call this year the first year of the Green Bird, but the third year of the Green Bird?

This made Shi Tou very confused. He tried hard to think for a while, but still couldn't figure out this confusing problem, so he asked the Son of God.

Han Cheng just smiled shamelessly and didn't say why.

This made Shitou even more confused, but he could only worry about it in secret and think about the reasons behind it.

He was holding a small stick and scratching the stone on the ground unconsciously. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. After a while, he raised his voice and said, "I know! It was autumn when the Son of God came. That year was the first year of Qingque. The year before was the second year of Qingque. This year is the third year of Qingque."

After saying that, he looked at Han Cheng expectantly.

Some little thoughts in his mind were spoken out, and even though Han Cheng was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face. Fortunately, it was night time and the flames were dancing, so no one noticed his abnormality.

Shitou was so happy that he jumped for joy, thinking that this was a great way to name the year.

Their tribe began to undergo earth-shaking changes after the arrival of the Son of God, so it is only reasonable to regard the year when the Son of God arrived as the first year.

He was not the only one who thought so. Others who gradually learned about the situation, understood it, or didn't understand it also thought that it was a great idea to use the year when the Son of God came as the first year.

Thus, the Qingque tribe's calendar was determined in this way. The year when the Son of God arrived was the first year of Qingque, and the same went for the rest, until now it is the third year of Qingque.

It was Han Cheng who proposed to call the year of Qingque the first year of Qingque. He explained to Shitou and others that at this time, Yuan and Yi meant the same thing.

Shitou and the others didn't understand. If the meaning was the same, why did they call the Qingqu Year the Qingque Year? Wouldn't it be easier to just call it the Qingque Year?

Of course, this is just a thought in my mind.

Since the Son of God said it was the first year of Qingque, then let it be the first year of Qingque.

The darkness before dawn gradually faded away, the sky gradually turned white, dawn had arrived, and the terrifying Nian beast had not appeared yet. This meant that the Nian beast had been frightened by them and dared not come out. They had defeated the terrifying Nian beast!

The crowd couldn't help but cheer and beat the drums loudly.

Those who were sleeping were awakened by the sound of the drums, and they remembered the New Year and got up quickly.

As soon as the children opened their eyes, they saw the new clothes placed next to the kang and could not help but smile with joy. It turned out that what the Son of God said was right. After a good night’s sleep, they would have new clothes to wear when they woke up the next day!

They couldn't wait to put on their new clothes and ran out happily, thinking that it would be great if every day could be Chinese New Year's Day in the future.

Not only is there endless delicious food, but there are also new clothes to wear.

The adults also put on new clothes. Although they behaved more calmly than the children, they were just as happy in their hearts.

In such an atmosphere, the three years of Qingque have passed quietly, and now what is coming is the brand new fourth year of Qingque.

The ordinary days immediately became very different because of the appearance of the calendar and the year.

"Wu, Happy New Year!"

Han Cheng bowed to Wu, who also changed into new clothes and walked out of the room, and greeted him with a smile.

Wu felt very uncomfortable with the strange actions and words suddenly made by the Son of God. After thinking about it, he roughly understood the meaning, so he imitated Han Cheng and bowed to Han Cheng in an awkward manner, saying in the same way: "Son of God, Happy New Year!"

Learning and imitating is something that people do consciously or unconsciously, especially when it comes to people they respect.

After the people in Han Chengxing tribe bowed to greet the New Year, this novel way of greeting and blessing quickly spread in the Qingque tribe.

For a moment, everyone was bowing to each other and saying Happy New Year.

Han Cheng had a constant smile on his face, especially after Wu led everyone to bow to him in an uncoordinated manner and said Happy New Year, the smile on his face became even more intense.
