As time goes on, as I get older, I miss the New Year more and more when I was a child. In that era of simple poverty, the New Year meant wearing new clothes and eating good things, which was a symbol of happiness, beauty and happiness. Those beautiful fragments are always remembered in the mind and heart.
First, catch up with the New Year's collection
When I was a child, the happiest thing was to follow my grandparents to catch the big market, according to the customs of my hometown, every five rows and ten orders, two seven Gantun, three eight Fan Zhai, four nine Xin ji, five zero willow forest, nearby township stations in turn for the market. After twenty-three years, basically every episode goes. Children rush to the market mainly to join the hustle and bustle, more than ten miles away, walking does not feel tired. Each episode is crowded and bustling. After arriving at the set, sometimes I will go to the stall first, drink a bowl of fragrant tofu brain, and eat two fritters. Remember that it is a bowl of tofu brain for two cents, and the powder soup is added casually. Lunch to rely on more than three o'clock to eat, sometimes eat a few fried buns, the most favorite to eat is Fan Zhai Jishang, the most famous Wenzhuang "Zhangjia water fried buns". Sometimes eating pork leeks and cabbage buns, that is, to relieve hunger, but also full of happiness. Once, my grandmother bought me a military coat and put it on very majestically, which made my friends envious. Since then, he has had the dream of becoming a soldier in his heart, and later became a real armed police fighter.
2. Write couplets
I have loved to read and write since I was a child, and when I was in the first grade of elementary school, my uncle visited home from the army and brought me back a Xinhua dictionary, a primary school student essay, a pen poster, and a hero brand pen. Since then, I have fallen in love with reading books and practicing words. In junior high school, he began to write with a brush, served as the propaganda director of the student union, and was responsible for organizing the publication of the school's blackboard newspaper. During the Spring Festival, I used to buy couplets on the set. My father encouraged me to say, you can write with a brush, this year our couplet you write it yourself! I was also a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, so I bought red paper and began to graffiti in the Spring Festival. At the beginning, it was deliberately stroked, but it was also crooked, and it was a bit like writing. The next year, the neighbors knew that I could write couplets, so they bought red paper and sent them to my house, asking them to write as many pairs as they wanted, and whatever content they wanted. Since then, he has persisted until he graduated from high school and joined the army. Every year before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Grandma and Mother are busy making dumplings and croquettes. My younger siblings helped me cut paper, and I chose the content according to the habits of each family. It is nothing more than "industrious people's homes are in the early spring, and there are many happy things in the rich courtyard", "Sanyang Kaitai resigns from the old age, and the grain is abundant to welcome the New Year"... There are also horizontal batches of Guotai Min'an, Life Insurance Nianfeng, Songhe Yannian, Chunhua Qiushi and so on. The villagers all praised me for writing well, and my heart was beautiful and nourishing, which satisfied my vanity.
3. Set off firecrackers
In the cannon market of The Big Market, there is a different taste. In order to pull customers, the buyers of firecrackers desperately shouted and scrambled to light their own cannons, and the sound of firecrackers rose and fell, and the sound was earth-shattering. Grandpa to see whose quality is good, loud, buy 50 rings, 100 rings, 200 rings of more than twenty hangings, and then buy hundreds of two kicks, that is, two rings. These cannons are mainly used on Chinese New Year's Eve night, the first day of the New Year, and when worshipping ancestral graves, and the excess is lit for children to play. When my friends and I lit cannons, we sometimes put them on the ground and sometimes inserted them into snowdrifts. When the second kick is kicked, the bold hand is squeezed. There were incidents of blowing up hands and blowing up cotton pants and jackets. Some small accidents make people feel that safety is important, and more are hilarious jokes.
Fourth, Chinese New Year's Eve
Chinese New Year's Eve night, the family reunited and ate dumplings. The uncles and uncles of the neighborhood, according to the customary customs, came to my house one after another, some of them carrying liquor, some carrying canned food, and some carrying other delicious food. My father asked my mother to fry eggs, fried tofu, cut up and down, and a table of dishes was ready. The guests began to drink almost as soon as they came, generally bringing three wines per person, and more than ten people came down at ten o'clock in a round. In order to adjust the lively atmosphere, then you have to guess the boxing order, play scissors baggage hammer, bright seven dark seven, who loses who drinks, increased the fun. In the impression, Uncle Wei Rong and Uncle Yougong draw the best fist, and the simple fist is relatively single, "One Heart Respect, Good Brothers, Three Star Photos, Four Seasons Cai, Five KuiShou, Six Six Shun, Seven Fairies, Eight Immortals, Nine to One, Perfect perfection". The complicated one is Hua Ling, shouting in his mouth, and his hands are compared to "crab one, eight claws, two pointy points as big..." Every time you have to insist until more than three o'clock in the morning, you are drunk and drunk, but it is also the best way to keep Chinese New Year's Eve.
5. Pray to the Great Year
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, in the busyness and urging of my father, my brother and I got up early. Kowtow to the ancestral tablets separately, and then kowtow to the grandparents. Then my father took my brother and me to the neighborhood and began to worship the New Year. Mainly to people with high generations, old age and good relationships. When we arrived at the courtyard, the hosts were polite, very welcoming, and greeted each other. First worship the patriarchs, then the old man. Finally, I had to go to Front Street, where some of my father's old friends went to worship. More than two hours passed, and most of the village was turned. Dizzy from walking, prostrating knee pain. But every year it seems to be happy, which is the pain and the joy of persevering.
6. String relatives
The customs of the hometown, the first day of worship, the first two worship of ancestral graves, the first three strings of relatives. From the third year of junior high school, according to the instructions of grandma, the family brought gifts to string relatives. Most of the three miles and two miles are walking, and the distance is a little far to set up an ox cart, and there are bicycles in the eighties. Carrying large and small pockets, bags, and carrying baskets. Inside are steamed buns, date rolls, flower cakes, and a few packets of dessert and fine fruits. In addition to going to Grandpa's house with his mother, he was willing to go with his grandfather to Lan Wo Han Road Village, where there was a pear garden. I can eat the big sweet pears, purple cotton pears, and old sour pears of the Spring Huaiye family. You can also see several uncles punching and practicing knives, guns and sticks. He was also happy to go to the uncle's grandfather's house in a neighboring village with his grandmother, who had good conditions at home, meat to eat, and salted duck eggs. Mainly my grandparents gave me a few dollars to press the old money, I can buy villain books, I can also buy sugar balls to eat. There are also many relatives' homes, old aunts and grandmothers' homes in Linqing Lou Tatou, I have been to. These enriched my childhood, added fun, and remained in beautiful, deep memories forever.
