That was the first year when Chu Xuan and Alicefil got married. Ilyasfil was not born yet, and Sakura and Karen were not "picked" back to Einzberen by Chu Xuan.

One day, after Chu Xuan got up, he found that because his belly had obviously grown, his wife, who had to separate the room with him, did not come to his room on time as usual, and then served him with the maids to change his clothes.

However, the maids wearing strange tight-fitting clothes that were wrapped in their hair still walked in on time like Swiss clocks, and Chu Xuan ended his sleep on time like an atomic clock and sat up from the bed.

"Where is Alice?"

Chu Xuan put on the flat glasses placed on the bedside table, and then asked the maids expressionlessly.

Chu Xuan never showed any discomfort for these faces in Einzberen City that were almost exactly the same as Alice Fir, but without any expression, because he himself had such a poker face.

Perhaps living in an environment where almost everyone has poker faces, Chu Xuan returned to his country like king in playing cards.

"Mrs. is directing everyone to clean the castle, prepare food, and go out to purchase. She asks you to go to the restaurant for meals alone after changing clothes."

The maid answered his question expressionlessly in a mechanical tone that was very similar to Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan nodded, and then changed his pajamas without shyness under the maid's service.

Fortunately, the next time, washing face and brushing teeth in the bathroom was done by Chu Xuan’s reading ability. He was not completely knocked down by the capitalist sugar-coated shells, and turned into a "little emperor" who could wear clothes and reach out to eat and open his mouth.

Then, Chu Xuan walked towards the restaurant. Unlike usual, the personal maids who had been following Chu Xuan and Alice Fill all the time accused him and left one after another.

In the corridor, Chu Xuan saw several maids cleaning. They stopped their work when Chu Xuan was about to pass by, so as not to touch Chu Xuan's body.

When Chu Xuan entered the restaurant, he found that the same was true here. The steaming breakfast was already placed in Chu Xuan's seat, but the maids who were specifically responsible for the restaurant had all gone.

The breakfast on the table is no different from usual. It is a typical German breakfast with bread, sausage, eggs and juice. In this weird atmosphere, Chu Xuan began to stuff a huge amount of food into his stomach as if nothing had happened.

As his breakfast was approaching the end of the year, the restaurant door was pushed open with a "bang", and then he tied an apron on his body and his belly was already obvious. Alice Fill hurriedly walked in, and the maid following her was holding some white things in her hands.

"Ah, I'm so busy, I'm so busy now."

Alice Fil kept calling for busyness, but his face was filled with a smile that Chu Xuan had never seen before. He didn't know what she was busy with, and he also directed the maids in the city to work together.

After coming to Chu Xuan's side, Alice Fil sat in his seat and ordered the maid to present the things on the plate.

One of the plates was filled with white maltose, which was made into the shape of round melons, with sesame seeds sprinkled on the outside; the other plates were porridge made of many ingredients, including rice, red beans, red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, longan and other ingredients.

"Sugar melon and Laba porridge?"

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and turned his head to look at his wife.

Alice Fill's face was filled with a satisfied smile, and she happily told her husband about her "great achievements":

"Sorry, Chu Xuan, I only realized last night that tomorrow is China's "New Year's Eve", so I started preparing for the "New Year's Eve" early this morning.

Although it was already a little late, it was not too late to make up for what you should have done a few days ago.

Eat quickly, this is made by me "her own hands" - I mean "Laba Porridge".

I ordered the maid to buy the 'sugar melon' outside. Fortunately, there are some 'New Year's goods' in the supermarket that has been providing us with Chinese seasonings and ingredients, but they only have this one of 'stove candies'."

Alice Filing skilled Mandarin, showing her husband all kinds of fresh nouns she only knew yesterday, and Chu Xuan also fully understood the reason why she was so busy.

"It doesn't matter to me about the New Year, and you don't have to be busy with it."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and said in a boring voice that was as stable and unscaling as ever.

"That...I just want to celebrate the festival of 'Hometown' with you, can't it?"

Alice Fir's ruby-like eyes showed a pitiful look, like a white rabbit about to be abandoned by his master.

Faced with such an Alice Fill, even Chu Xuan had to look away and said in a slightly gentle tone:

“I have said it doesn’t matter, and of course it’s nothing wrong if you want to celebrate.

But be careful to rest, and not to walk too quickly, after all, you are already a pregnant woman.”

"Well, I'll notice."

With Chu Xuan's permission and care, Alice Fil lowered his guard, stroked his stomach gently with a happy face, and agreed seriously.

Soon, Alice Fil looked up at Chu Xuan again and happily told him about today's arrangements:

"Today I want to clean up thoroughly and paste Chinese-style paper cutting on the windows.

During the day, someone will send live pigs, chickens and fish. Please help kill them, and I am responsible for steaming the "bulls" with dates.

‘Tao Fu’, ‘Spring Festival couplets’, ‘New Year’, ‘Fu character’, ‘Chinese knot’, ‘door god’, ‘lantern’, ‘firecrackers’ and ‘firecrackers’, and so on. Our family is so big, we will probably be very busy all day today.”

I don’t know what book I learned about the customs of the traditional Chinese festival of "Spring Festival", but Chu Xuan is sure that in the books he recommended to Alicefil, there will never be any saying that firecrackers and firecrackers should be hung up during the New Year. Moreover, they have now become something, and no one will burn bamboo to hear it.

——Article, even in China, there are much fewer places selling bamboo than firecrackers.

However, as a foreigner, Alicefil has a very comprehensive understanding of Spring Festival customs. Even for Chinese people themselves, probably not many people will hold the "ritual" of the New Year from beginning to end.

"By the way, there are these cloth tigers, which are so cute."

Alice Fil took the big and small Ai Tiger from the maid behind him, and placed it on her knees like a treasure to show it to Chu Xuan. However, she probably made something wrong. These cloth tigers are not "New Year's goods", but are jewelry that can cure evil spirits and protect peace during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Well... I don't know if the maids were moving all the Chinese folk goods in the supermarket warehouse back, or if the supermarket owner took the opportunity to stuff the warehouse that was not sold during the Dragon Boat Festival. In short, I hope that I would not see inappropriate things such as rice dumplings, mooncakes, etc. in those "New Year's goods".

"After breakfast, we will start decorating the city of Einzberen, and my great-grandfather has agreed."

Alice Fir, who usually has nothing to do except learn magic and do something shameless with Chu Xuan, is very active in preparing for the "New Year". In her extremely excited eyes, Chu Xuan had to quickly chew the sticky sugar melon, then use Laba porridge to put it into his stomach, and then spit out the date pits and longan pits one by one.

"Let's go."

After solving the loving Chinese food brought by Alice Fir in just a few seconds, Chu Xuan stood up with a slight hint of his mouth. His wife was so greedy that she wanted to make up for all the folk activities starting from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. As a husband, of course, he had to realize this little wish for his wife.

“…Ari, what are you doing?”

Chu Xuan followed Alice Fil to work in the vast city of Einzberen for a long time, and decorated the dark ancient castle with the red and bright red things such as the characters "Fu" and "lanterns", "Chinese knots", "windows" and other beautiful red objects. Even the artificial maids who were busy in the castle with expressionless expression seemed to have a little festive red face.

However, when he arrived outside the main entrance, Alice Fil made an inexplicable move to Chu Xuan - drawing a magic circle on the gate.

"I am summoning the door god and defending our home."

Alice Fill didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with her behavior, okay... Although her weird method may not accurately summon Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, who are the door gods, judging from the purpose of this magic circle, it is probably no problem to summon two similar rvants.

"There are still a few prepared peach wood boards here. Please make them into talismans that can drive away ghosts."

“…”

With the help of the Einzberen family's power in the secular world, Alice Fir even brought the mahogany, took over the mahogany boards and carving knives, and magic potions to draw magic circles or runes. Chu Xuan felt that he had probably understood his wife's ideas.

Although I don’t know whether the stickers of door gods, peach talismans, portraits of the Kitchen Gods and paper money are really useful in China, in the world where Chu Xuan once lived, these are just superstitious activities that have become part of folk culture.
