Chapters 13. Lunar Preparation.

A few days later.

Day after day and tomorrow the Chinese people will celebrate the celebration of the Chinese new year or often called the Chinese holiday (Spring Festival).

Alin was so busy cooking meat for his ancestor's worship at ten o'clock, and he had been squeaking the season from far away the previous day, because there are about 10 different menus that he will serve on the big day so as not to be overwhelmed when the time is near.

And the menu consists of food that contains elements of land, air and also water.

In addition to making complicated dishes, Alin also rolled up paper to form Chinese money in the past and he continued to roll the paper money until full of one large plastic bag, which will be burned after the Chinese new year prayers are finished.

Along with this, Melan went to Alin's house while carrying Alin's order, which is some round basket cakes and also a long-shaped Chinese dodol.

"Lin," call Melan the baker.

"Yes, come in!" sahut Alin from the house.

Melan went inside and approached Alin who was busy in the kitchen. "This is your cake Lin order, chinese cake about the same as dodol layer sekilo ya. If the cake is wet (Kue bowl, cake sticky rice, banana cake and bugis cake) later Mr. Anterin just want to ride the prayer yes," he said while giving.

"Oh yes, Miss! Thanks," Alin replied.

"Together," Melan replied. "Food cooking for prayer that is finished?" tanyanya.

"Still boiling meat, a little bit more also sorted out. After this, just cook the chepetnya Cik," replied Alin, occasionally rubbing sweat that splashed on the forehead with his sleeves.

"Oh thank God, if you bother do not hesitate to call Mr yes," said Melan offering himself to provide help.

"Yes, thank you!" alin nodded.

"Yes, then Mr. wants to go between people's cakes again" said Melan.

"Yes, be careful."

A few moments later, the meat menu was cooked. Then Alin continued to cook a menu that is easy and fast to do. In addition to the offerings later in the afternoon, Alin also separated it for lunch and dinner.

Yuan, who had just woken up from sleep, immediately headed for the kitchen after smelling a delicious aroma from inside.

"What's cooking mom? Very fragrant," Yuan said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Mama cook Ba Chin, pindang bandeng, meatballs bitter melon, vegetable ba kut, fried fish, sambel godog, there is fried chicken, fried noodles, vegetable soup baso lohua, the same shrimp," alin replied revealing the results of his cooking.

"Many very, Sturdy so confused about which food to eat first. If you eat it all?" tanya Yuan could not choose because there was too much food and he wanted all that food.

"Sturdy eat first yes, not everything. Later redundant if not kemakan," reply Alin.

Yuan nodded obediently and had a menu that he wanted to eat. "Yuan wants to eat a little ba chin then," he said later.

"Yes," Alin replied and took the rice and scooped up the side dish for Yuan.

"Later out to eat, Sturdy immediately take a shower."

"Yes Ma, take a shower in a new suit?" ask Yuan.

"Yes, get some new clothes on. But afternoon yes," Alin replied.

"Horay!" yuan exclaimed vigorously and he ate quickly and helped his mother while waiting for the afternoon time, in order to wear new clothes and show it to friends around the house.

Feeling bored Yuan eventually decides to play along with his friends to the field.

"Yes Koh, but be careful. Do not play far and before bedug Mahgrib Kokoh already have to go home yes," reply Alin reminded.

"Yes Ma" Yuan said as he ran.

Alin smiled and went back into the kitchen, to continue his unfinished work. Then along with that, Yudi who had just finished from the bathroom, came to Alin while bragging.

"Look at Lin, it's cool that the cave is wearing new clothes."

Alin rolled his eyes lazily. "Yes cool," he replied without looking.

"Makanya so people do not be a saint, try to receive money from the cave. Surely now you wear new clothes too," Yudi replied to Alin who did not have new clothes.

"It's okay that Alin does not wear new clothes as well, the important thing is that Alin does not wear clothes from gambling money" Alin replied.

Yudi thaws and throws Alin with a plastic glass until it hits his back. "Have a blow don't say it," he growled.

Alin grimaced painfully, while rubbing his back that was hit by a glass throw. Then fell silent because she was lazy to argue with her husband who never wanted to give up on it.

"Entar cave wants to go home in the morning, the cave wants to stay up with Ah Chin at the house of the Herman. There are lots of good food and drinks if you want a new year, so you keep the door. Watch out for you falling asleep!" yudi said to tell.

"Before going please clean up Koh's ash table," Alin's pinta is fine.

"You don't see the cave has been bathing, it is clean and already fragrant like this is told to clean the ash table. Atuh dirty Alin!" reply Yudi did not want.

"Yes already," replied Alin lethargic.

Then shortly after that Yudi left the house, while carrying a few bottles of liquor. Because he wants to party on new year's night with his friends at the house of the bookies.

While Alin is still struggling in the kitchen, fighting with a lot of homework, and caring for children at the same time. And Alin had to rush through all of that, to get things done on time.

...***...

Moments later, Alin's work was finally finished as well. He immediately cleaned himself and wore a negligent shirt as usual, many neighbors who asked why he did not wear new clothes on the night of the new year.

"Say old people first, pamali if our new year does not wear new clothes," said Yulan a little insinuated.

"It's okay Miss, the important thing is that we pray for his blessing with God Almighty and understand the good meaning of the Chinese new year itself" said Alin sage.

"But the night of the new year not wearing new clothes that can bring bad luck, can be more difficult economy," replied Yulan did not want to budge.

"Sir Yulan, that's a myth. Damn or unwillingness of a person depends on his own karma, difficult or smooth economy also it depends on our own efforts. Not from us wear new clothes or not on new year's night" Alin explained.

Yulan certainly grunted. "It's hard to talk to people like you Lin! If you say the same old people like ngeyel!" the strangeness.

"Not so Cik, Alin mah honestly did not have money to buy new clothes. The important thing is that the children make it, let it be on seneng. Lagian Alin was satisfied to wear new clothes every year as a child, now it's Alin's turn to feelain. Moreover, we already have a household, not already stylish pantes. The important thing is not maxain yourself, later embarrassed by neighbors, can be stylish but life is twisted in debt," Alin replied.

Yulan seemed to be insinuated with the words of Alin, he who originally wanted to insult Alin, even insulted by the statement. Where it can be elite-style, but paying off debt is very difficult.
