This year's winter vacation has just arrived, and the Spring Festival is just around the corner. My parents and I drove to a small town for the Spring Festival. After a long journey of seven hours, we finally got there. It's good to see the green Gaoligong Mountain again and breathe the cool air.
We arrived on the 29th of New Year's Eve. As soon as we entered the house, we saw that our grandparents were already preparing for the next day's dinner. Seeing us coming, grandma happily picked me up and kissed me, and grandpa was busy helping us move the new year's goods into the house. The whole family smiled happily. . . . . .
During the Spring Festival, this town will be very lively. At the dawn of New Year's Eve, the whole city of Tengchong will be full of excitement. Every household is busy putting up Spring Festival couplets and putting up doors. 12 firecrackers were set off as soon as noon, and the whole Tengchong city "moved". Two long incense sticks were lit in front of every household, so the whole Tengchong city was "full of fragrance" Seeing this thick festive atmosphere, pedestrians on the road can't help but speed up their steps, and their hearts have already flown home. After noon, the family sat in the small patio at home and worked together in an orderly way according to the menu drawn up by grandpa. My cousin and I were assigned to our family's camellia sinensis and papaya tree's red note. It is said that this is to congratulate the young tree for growing up another year. I hope he will blossom and bear fruit in the coming year. At 6 o'clock in the evening, a deafening firecrackers sounded on time, and every household laughed and laughed. The sumptuous banquet is ready, and the delicious chicken, duck and fish make my mouth water. Of course, there are many kinds of healthy wild herbs. By the way, before dinner, you should give everything to your late grandparents before the ancestral tablet. I like Tengchong food best, such as palm buns that Kunming can't eat, and the salty eight treasures of Tengchong.
Save the world. . . . . . After dinner, we children can't wait to hang out in front of our grandparents. Originally, we were all waiting for grandparents to give us lucky money. Getting lucky money may be the happiest thing for every child. Tengchong is different from Kunming in that it needs the earliest children to "open the door" and there are red envelopes on the door. Whoever gets up first will get this red envelope, and then open the door with the words "Open the door of finance, and treasure will roll in". Every time I watch it, I think of "open sesame" in Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. Later, I will visit relatives and friends on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and offer sacrifices to the God of Wealth on the second and third days. . . . . . Only grandparents know how to do a set of things. They said we should know these things, too, because their parents and grandparents did the same.
The Spring Festival in the town will soon be over, and my parents' holiday will soon be over. My eyes were wet when I left Tengchong. Small town, I will come back next year.
