The Spring Festival is coming, the streets and alleys are full of excitement and celebration, and everywhere is full of strong flavor of the year.

Walking in the street, there are red couplets everywhere, red lanterns and Chinese knots hanging, and people who sell firecrackers and buy all kinds of food ... only 23 years old, so lively. Mother bought all the new year's goods, cooked all kinds of dishes and began to prepare couplets. Dad made a paste and stuck it on the back. When you paste the word "fu", you should paste it backwards. I asked my father why. Dad said it meant happiness. We can't help posting couplets and Greater China Festival. There are two cows on the window. It's all red. The whole world is red.

In the busy preparation, I ushered in the long-awaited New Year's Eve. On this day, there were fewer pedestrians in the street, and they all packed jiaozi at home. The firecrackers in the street are deafening and continuous, and the red left on the street is the red paper of firecrackers. Moreover, the old year passed with firecrackers. At five o'clock in the afternoon, my father and I went downstairs with firecrackers. Father lit firecrackers and watched. I hid in the corridor, covering my ears. In the evening, a hearty New Year's Eve dinner has been waiting for us at the dinner table. The indispensable dinner on New Year's Eve includes rice cakes, jiaozi and fish. After dinner, our family huddled together to watch the party. Intoxicating graceful dancing, hilarious sketches, cross talk, and unfathomable magic are memorable. It was not until twelve o'clock in the evening that I went to bed with my parents' lucky money.

On New Year's Day, I woke up at eight o'clock in the morning and went to my grandparents' home with my parents to pay a New Year call. As soon as I saw my grandparents, I said loudly, "I wish them good health and a long life." After that, I bowed to my grandparents, who happily put a big red envelope into my hand. Mom and dad also took out their mobile phones and sent text messages to friends to celebrate the New Year.

The Lantern Festival is also here. In the evening, I eat glutinous rice balls. My parents and I drove to the oil field to see the lanterns. Colorful lanterns are particularly beautiful against the background of the night sky. After watching the lanterns, we watched the fireworks. Colorful fireworks shot into the night sky one after another, making people dizzying. Red, yellow and green fireworks became a landscape.

I spent an unforgettable year and made my winter vacation colorful!

It's the lively Spring Festival again, and I'm very excited. In the past, every Spring Festival, adults were busy preparing Spring Festival meals, and children's task was to watch TV and play games. It was so boring. So, this year, I will try my best to help my family do something.

It's almost time to make lunch. I ran to the kitchen and said loudly, "Mom, today I'm going to try to cook a dish, sweet and sour pork ribs." What? Did I hear you right, daughter? Obviously, mom was a little surprised.

My mother prepared the necessary materials for me. I secretly took out the recipe that I had checked from the computer in advance and began to cook: first, I washed the ribs and put them in the pot, added a certain amount of water, and the pot was boiled with a big fire. Then I skimmed the floating foam from them with a spoon, and then I put the shredded ginger, star anise, pepper, cooking wine and green onions in, covered the pot and cooked them on a low fire. Mother smiled happily when she saw that I had done a good job.

Forty minutes passed quickly, and I carefully fished out the ribs to clean the soup. I sprinkled a thin layer of dry starch on them, and then put the ribs in a slightly smoky wok (oiled). The ribs were quickly fried and discolored (mom was afraid that the oil soup would reach me, so she helped me fish out the extra oil and ribs). I gently put a handful of rock sugar in the pot, which is amazing. I saw the rock sugar slowly melting. It's time to put the ribs soup. I put about 200 grams of sparerib soup in with a spoon, and then put the fried sparerib in. I fried it with a spoon and thought the color was a little light, so I put some soy sauce in it.

About ten minutes, the ribs will be ready. I turned them over with a shovel and tasted a little. There is something wrong with the taste, which is different from what my mother usually cooks. What should I do? I made it according to the recipe! Let's invite mom to ask. After the mother tasted it, she smiled and said, "Did you forget to put salt and vinegar?" Yes! I patted my forehead, put salt and vinegar according to my mother's instructions, and the ribs were finally ready. I sprinkled some cooked sesame seeds before cooking.

It's time for dinner. Everyone says my ribs are delicious, especially my grandfather has always praised me for growing up and helped my mother cook. I am as sweet as honey.
