The legendary "Nian" is a monster, which hurts people every time it comes to the world. In order to prevent accidents, on this day every year, all people who are away from home have to go home for reunion, in order to prevent wanderers from being hurt by the monster "Year". On this day, no matter how important your work is or how urgent your task is, you should put it aside for a while. Going home and reuniting with your family is the most important thing. As time passes, there is a saying of "New Year", and this day has become the most lively day for China people.
What impressed me most about the aftertaste of the New Year is the memory of my childhood. There is a saying in my hometown that "adults look forward to the Spring Festival while children look forward to it". When the new year comes, the children eat, play and wear new clothes, and the firecrackers that belong to them keep ringing.
during the Chinese new year, it's mostly rainy and windy. On the dirt road in the countryside, pools of water turn into ice caves, and bicycles keep running over them, and the wheels don't work, and the cyclists are struggling to swing on both sides, so as to keep the balance of the car. The children sitting in the car, however, were not afraid at all, still laughing and laughing, with thick cotton-padded jackets wrapped around them, round like a cotton ball. The children are wearing velvet hats, and the red five stars in front of the hats shine. Running over the water cave, mud splashed on the child's thick cotton trousers, and a little yellow mark became the handle for peers to make fun of each other. Who set off firecrackers in the village? A puff of smoke and a strong smell of gunpowder rushed into the children's noses. Before the bicycle stopped, the children jumped off the car and scrambled to grab the unburned firecrackers. Ask for a cigarette from an adult, find the firecrackers, find a muddy water cave, and throw it into the muddy water and cow dung pile before it will ring. With the sound of a cannon, the muddy water and cow dung have long gone up in smoke and scattered everywhere. The children's laughter and laughter attracted an angry look from adults, and even shouted at them, but this did not affect the children's mood and they played as usual. Sometimes, the lead wire of the firecrackers picked up is too short, and it explodes in the hand before being thrown. The index finger unknowingly explodes a yellow and white circle, which is unbearable. The injured children put their hands in their mouths and sucked, while they kept cursing the firecrackers with short leads. The children next to them burst into laughter and laughed their heads off until they attracted all the friends in the whole village.
the year came with the laughter of children, and the breath of the year rose in the sound of firecrackers.
As far as I can remember, after the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, everything was full every day. Twenty-four, we should go to the graves of our ancestors to offer sacrifices and invite them home for the New Year. We call it "receiving ancestors" there. Twenty-five, prepare to kill the pig. Killing pigs is also the happiest thing for children. Not only can you drink delicious pork liver lean broth, but you can also get a gift that you are looking forward to. When I was a child, my friends waited early for any pig killer. When the pig killer cut off the pig urine bubble, the children all grabbed it. After grabbing it, they were more happy than the children who received the big red envelope from their parents. You may not understand, why do you need pig urine bubbles? Children dry this thing, paint it with red ink, and ask grandpa to make it into a beautiful lantern. On New Year's Eve, it is very fun to carry this lantern made of pig urine bubbles and go door to door to ask for cigarettes and sugar. This lantern is not like a paper lantern, so you don't have to worry about burning or blowing out the candles in it when the wind blows. Pig urine bubbles are really good materials for making lanterns. Twenty-six, prepare to write Spring Festival couplets. I remember when I was a child, the Spring Festival couplets were all written by myself with a brush. There is an old man in the village who writes well. He is horizontal, vertical and square, and his beauty can be comparable to that of the running font in the computer font library. The old man who writes a good hand naturally becomes a good hand at writing Spring Festival couplets. Every family sends red paper in the past, and the old man accepts it gladly, and writes some New Year greetings such as "Spring is full of dry Kun, Fu Lin's auspicious house". After graduating from high school, the task of writing Spring Festival couplets at home fell to our two brothers. If junior high school students can't write Spring Festival couplets, they will be laughed at by the villagers. The brush strokes we wrote were generally thick from top to bottom to a little angular, and then they were correct and steady. The handwriting is improving year by year, and we are growing year by year. We should be busy preparing all kinds of roasted seeds and nuts. Grandma and mother are busiest on this day. Melon seeds, swallowed beans, dried sweet potatoes, etc. are all fried, and this day is also the day when we have the most snacks. After all the frying, spread it thinly with the tools of drying grain, cool it down, and then put it in an iron drum to prevent moisture regain. Children's snacks in a year are these barrels of roasted seeds and nuts produced by farmers. I remember my mother often put these barrels of delicious food in different places, in order to keep the water flowing. But no matter where you put it, within two hours, it will always be seen through by our eyes. I'm going to grandma's house to send a new year present on the 28th. The Chinese New Year's gift is the most important thing in a year. My mother has already prepared four pounds of meat, a bag of sugar and several bags of candy, and my father took us all the way by bike. The meat sent was almost eaten at noon. It was said that it was a gift for the New Year, but it was actually a big meal. But my grandfather and grandmother also smiled, because on that day, all my grandchildren went to her house, plus my daughter and son-in-law, so many people had to open two or three tables. Now my grandmother is always immersed in the aftertaste when she recalls what happened at that time, and her wrinkled face shows nostalgia and reluctance for the past years. Twenty-nine is to go to town to buy new year's goods The town of 29 is very lively and crowded, and everyone is preparing to buy something for the New Year. Buy some of the county's own brand wines "Huayang River" and "Leichi Tequ" and entertain relatives and friends during the New Year. There are also some candies and the like, and the children will distribute some candies during the New Year to increase the festive atmosphere. I can't even sleep late on the morning of the 3 th, so I was called up by my grandmother early. The New Year's Eve in my memory is always drizzling, sometimes it snows on New Year's Eve, and the ground is always wet. The children are wearing water shoes and their pants are covered with mud watermarks. In the morning, you should cut the bought stacks of toilet paper into thin paper money. When cutting, you should pay attention to it. You can't use iron tools such as scissors and knives. You can only use your bare hands to construct it. Fold the paper in half according to the grain, hold the bottom of the paper with your left hand, and pull it back along the folded straight line with your right hand, and the toilet paper will be cut smoothly. Grandma said that paper cut with iron is useless, which is equivalent to "counterfeit money" and can't be used by ancestors. We believe grandma's words very much, so we have to learn to cut paper by hand like adults. After the paper is cut, we should pay homage to our ancestors' graves before lunch. An adult took several children and shuttled back and forth on the slope of Yu Xiaoshan, telling his ancestors that it was the Spring Festival today to show the filial piety of the younger generation. In the afternoon of 3, it is to paste Spring Festival couplets, serve a pot of thick rice soup left when cooking New Year's rice, find a stool to put under your feet, make a brush with straw, and paste the red Spring Festival couplets with rice soup on both sides of the gate, and the atmosphere of 28 will spread. It is said that those who owe people money should put up Spring Festival couplets early, so that others will not come to ask for debts. They must live a good year. Posted Spring Festival couplets, it's really Chinese New Year.
Then firecrackers exploded. People in the village have a habit of rushing to eat New Year's Eve. Whoever eats early will be more successful than others in the next year. Hearing that other people's homes were setting off firecrackers for New Year's Eve dinner, grandma was also anxious. She quickly urged us to wash our faces and feet, turn on the lights in all the rooms in the house and prepare for dinner. From the day of the New Year's Eve dinner, the lights at home have been turned on until after the Lantern Festival. I remember that the voltage was very low at that time, and the light bulb gave off a faint yellow light. If the light was turned on late, there was no brightness at all. Needless to say, TV is not clear at all. Later, in order to watch the Spring Festival Gala, some people bought a storage battery in advance and charged it early, so they could enjoy the Spring Festival Gala while eating the New Year's Eve.
A year's busyness and a year's hard work have all been released tonight. My father drank a glass of wine and said some blessings. Grandma smiled and drank a cup, with a happy smile on her face. Mother naturally hopes that our brother and sister will learn and make progress in the new year. The children are even more happy, and they have already chewed up a chicken leg by themselves.
This is the impression of my childhood. Now, during the Spring Festival, there are many fewer procedures, so I don't need to write Spring Festival couplets myself. People in the village have already bought the same printed Spring Festival couplets in the street. Every household has almost several versions, which are similar to the copied documents. There will be no more children fighting for the dirty and smelly pig urine bubbles. You can buy a beautiful electric lantern for more than ten yuan, and you can open it if you want. There is no need to have a reunion dinner under the yellow electric light. The power grid in the village has been rebuilt several times, and the newly installed selenium dome light at home is big and bright, which is not inferior to the lights in the city. It is even more impossible to drink the old-fashioned "Thunder Pit" from the county winery, because the county winery has long been poorly managed and bankrupt, and the county leaders have always wanted to revive the glory of "Thunder Pit". The site of Guleichi is located in our county. The ancients have an old saying that you should not cross the line, but now the hometown people have branded it. I believe that the slogan of "Dare to cross the line and widen the world" will be realized in the near future, and then the hometown people will definitely live a prosperous, healthy, civilized and peaceful Spring Festival!
