"Come on, let's all have a drink."
Two weeks after work resumed following the New Year, Du Heng, Dong Yuezhang, and their friends finally found an opportunity to get together.
Four people, three glasses of wine, and one cup of tea. CLINK! They touched them together.
Du Heng and Wei Kaida had just gotten married this year. According to Jinzhou customs, they stayed at home on the first day of the New Year, went to their mother-in-law's house on the second, and then began their rounds of New Year visits as newlyweds.
All relatives and friends, conditions permitting, had to be visited to exchange New Year's greetings.
Firstly, it was to thank them for attending the wedding. Secondly, it allowed the new bride and groom to become acquainted with the extended family.
So, Du Heng and Wei Kaida were busy right through to the end of February, only then finishing all their visits to relatives and friends.
