life can't be without expectations. People are walking around in countless expectations and heading for the future. For me, looking forward to the new year is just one of these countless expectations. Although from childhood to middle age, there are great differences in the content of expectations for 28, the degree of expectations remains the same. As soon as I entered the twelfth lunar month, I had a longing for the new year, and there was an irresistible excitement.

When I was a child, I looked forward to the New Year, which was the same complex of the children in that poor age, and it was a rare beauty in my childhood memory. In my naive mind as a child, Chinese New Year is a good thing full of temptations and the most exciting. I can always hear the footsteps of Chinese New Year early, and quietly start snapping my fingers to count down the Chinese New Year. Even in my dreams, I often walk into that colorful year ahead of time.

some people say that the year belongs to children and the year belongs to the poor. At that time, I looked forward to the New Year, just to eat and play, especially to let go of my tight belly for a year and eat several mouthwatering New Year meals. As far as I can remember, my family has been a decentralized household in the city, living in poverty. Every New Year, I can only cut a few kilograms of pork, buy back a packet of beet candy, a few kilograms of frozen pears and persimmons, and hang firecrackers. Those few catties of frozen pears and persimmons are left to be chewed in the New Year's Eve, and they are often chewed up by my brother and me before they are completely melted. I can't bear to put all the little whips I bought for a few cents at a time, so I can only open them one by one. My family seldom adds new clothes in the New Year, because there are only cotton-padded clothes and trousers in winter, and there is no underwear cover. When I wear them dirty, I will scrub them and dry them on the brazier before wearing them. However, I can often put on a new pair of flannel cotton shoes in the New Year, which was made by my mother from playing, sewing soles and uppers to going online, almost half a winter. The soles of my mother are made of fine and symmetrical needles. Sometimes you can get sporadic lucky money during the Chinese New Year, but it is only calculated in terms of angles. Once in a while, I kill a pig at home. Although I have sold three feet of meat, this year will be much richer. I remember one New Year's Eve, when adults were wrapping jiaozi, I was so greedy that I couldn't help it. I picked up a chopstick stuffed with raw meat and stuffed it in my mouth. It felt so fragrant ...

Time is like a huge iron brush, which erases all the pain and sadness in my childhood memories, leaving only festive and joyful fragments, making people always feel happy. Nowadays, the footsteps of history have entered the day of "every day is like the Chinese New Year". It is said that when I know my destiny, I should not look forward to the new year when I am one year old and have to accept the reward from the old man. Somehow, my expectation for the new year remains. Although many traditional deep and simple things in today's annual flavor have been separated from the fast food culture in modern society, only the annual flavor woven with color and sound can be seen, but I am still looking forward to the New Year. While many people are clamoring that the Chinese New Year is really tiring and boring, I am eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the New Year. In my opinion, the year belongs not only to children and the poor, but also to all Chinese people.

Now, I finally understand why I look forward to the New Year. Looking forward to the New Year, in addition to the warm aftertaste and chewing of the Chinese New Year as a child and the longing for a better life, we are looking forward to a relaxed mood, a happy family reunion and a happy atmosphere between heaven and earth.

Sociologists believe that after human beings' requirements for natural attributes are reduced, the pursuit of rationality will rise, and there will be great spiritual thirst. Nowadays, on the one hand, Chinese people have basically got rid of material poverty, on the other hand, they are very tired in the fierce competition for survival. Looking forward to the New Year now is actually looking forward to a holiday. It is looking forward to taking a nap after working hard, hoping to have some time of my own and do what I want to do. What the year brings to people is a rare quiet, and it makes people feel that they are enjoying life.

A netizen once sent me a New Year message, which made me ponder again and again: "A gecko was wandering on a construction site and was caught by a big crocodile, ready to eat it in one bite. In desperation, the little gecko came forward and hugged the crocodile's leg and shouted,' Mom!'" The crocodile was stunned and immediately burst into tears:' son, don't go to work again. You'll be so thin in half a month. Have a good rest during the New Year!' Come to think of it carefully, in fact, 28 is a post station on the long road of life, which calls tired travelers to rest their legs and feet here; Year 28 is a warm harbor in the voyage. It accepts drifting boats here to avoid the wind and waves, and then begins a new journey of life ...

Year 28 is no longer a legendary monster that eats people and needs people to set off firecrackers to drive them away. It is not just a traditional festival. Chinese New Year has been interpreted as a kind of culture, a kind of expectation, an atmosphere, a kind of cohesion, a kind of harmony and a kind of happiness. Looking forward to the New Year is to look forward to the reunion of relatives and taste the warmth of family. The New Year is a reunion. I think, when I am old, I will look forward to the New Year more, and then the taste of reunion will be sweeter and the feeling of family will be stronger ... < P > There is no denying that some people are really afraid of the New Year and regard it as a "year off". Some of them are afraid that they will be one year older after the Chinese New Year. Some people are cash-strapped, and the expenses of human relations are inevitable during the New Year; There are also "bosses" with high debts, who are afraid that people will come to collect debts during the New Year; There are also people who wander around the officialdom or rush for promotion or official protection, feeling tired. And I am not bothered by the increase of age, nor am I tired of seeking an official position or debt. I can rest my body and mind wholeheartedly during the New Year. How can I not feel refreshed and enjoy it?

I really should thank our ancestors for passing down such a good festival to us. Although this festival is gradually fading in people's minds, it will definitely not fade out of our lives. Let's indulge in wine in the new firecracker sonata, take a full-hearted rest, save enough spirit, let the footsteps of years bring ourselves into another beautiful spring, and let the new year bear new splendor.
