A few days before the Spring Festival is the busiest time for everyone. Different from other places, tofu should be made during the New Year, because this day is the day when the "Kitchen God Bodhisattva" goes to heaven and should be dedicated to him. Here, people will go to the market to buy bacon a few days before the Spring Festival. When they got home, the first thing they did was to run to the roof and light a bonfire with pine branches. When black smoke billowed, they began to smoke bacon and sausages. A person's face is blackened, which is in sharp contrast with white teeth, just like an "African". But everyone looked at the delicious bacon and sausage and showed a happy smile. It is essential to buy new year's goods. At that time, the supermarket was crowded with people. Children are also very busy, and at least half of the day is doing homework, so that they can have a good time in the new year. Adults and children are preparing for the Chinese New Year. Those who go out to work will come back no matter how busy they are.
On New Year's Eve, young people will get together with their children at their elders' homes. The whole family will sit around a round table, say their hometown dialect, greet each other and cheer for the wonderful Spring Festival Evening. In 12, it is the world of children. Children will find a very spacious space, put rows of "firecrackers", light them and cover their ears. In the sound of "scratching", the children laughed. On New Year's Day, regardless of gender, age, the family will "all go out" to visit relatives. The younger generation should kowtow to their elders, who, whether rich or poor, will dig out a lot of lucky money from their teeth and give it to the younger generation. Of course, the lucky money will be taken away by mom and dad. Other places are Tomb-Sweeping Day to visit graves, but here we all go up the mountain to worship our ancestors around the third day of the lunar calendar.
The most interesting thing is the language used in the Spring Festival, such as the unlucky words "death" and "ghost", which should be forgotten and not allowed to be spoken. No matter what I ask you, you should answer yes. During the Chinese New Year, chopsticks should be called "cross" or "Xiangshui Bridge" ... and so on. In short, in our hometown, we will say some auspicious words during the Spring Festival. Out of modesty, if someone says "Happy New Year" during the New Year, the general answer is "You have it here."
My hometown is a different place. Come and play whenever you have time.
