The taste of the hometown
Author: Yun Cao Recitation: Hong Yan Fei
My hometown, the beautiful Inner Mongolia Xilin Gol Grassland, is a magnificent natural landscape of blue sky, white clouds, and "wind blowing grass and low cattle and sheep". What I love most is the New Year's eve in my hometown. After the eighth is the year!
The taste of the year is getting stronger, and the taste of the year is like an arrow in the heart of the distant wanderer, and it is the eyes at the doorstep of the home. Spring Festival, the day of family reunion, is also the coldest time of the year, although thousands of miles, wind and snow, but also can not extinguish people's urgent desire to return home for the New Year.
The twenty-third day of the waxing moon, is a small year, every family is busy steaming rice cakes, gently bite a bite, sweet in the incense, a warm current gushes into the heart, the cold of winter will soon disperse; every family kills pigs and slaughters sheep, irrigate sausages, cook pig heads, and then kill two big roosters, cooking smoke, fragrant, the meat wafting out of the kitchen is refreshing, overflowing with the flavor of the year, neighbors will give each other some, meaning "more than one year"; everyone will steam ten pots of eight pots of steamed buns, bean buns, fillings, prepare for the first month to send relatives, but also fried twist flowers and fruit strips, croquettes, croquettes, The year is full of flavor.
The New Year flavor is a big cleaning before the Spring Festival. At that time, people's families were not rich, most of them lived in mud brick houses, first used lime to whitewash the walls of the home, pasted the ceiling with white paper or new newspapers, scrubbed the furniture and furnishings; then bought a few festive New Year paintings to paste on the wall, bought a few pieces of big red paper, asked people to write a few Spring League or Lucky Characters, and posted the New Year's flavor; my mother used red paper to cut into beautiful window flowers and cut out the New Year's flavor. Shops are also thriving, crowded, and there is an endless stream of people buying firecrackers, tobacco, alcohol, candy and groceries.
The taste of the year ignites the children's carnival. Chinese New Year's Eve the most lively day, wearing new clothes and putting firecrackers and pressing old money, small firecrackers are of course not addictive, but also put "channeling monkeys", put "two kicks", the sound of the cannon is deafening, resounding through the clouds, brilliant fireworks, converging into the ocean of fire trees and honeysuckle, pinning good hopes and wishes, although the small hands are frozen red, they are also unconscious, full of innocent joy. Big red lanterns were hung in front of the house, lighting up the fiery days and reflecting the smiling faces of the children; the doors were plastered with joy, such as "looking up to see the joy", "grain abundance", and cattle and sheep full of circles.
Nian Wei is a sumptuous dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve night. After the parents put a sacrifice fruit for the gods to worship the ancestors, the family will gather together to share delicious dishes, dumplings, chicken, duck, fish, beef and mutton, wine, juice is complete, for the staggered, this is the taste of happiness, but also the taste of home.
After the meal, while bumping melon seeds and peanuts, he excitedly sat by the TV set to watch the Spring Festival Gala. At 12:00 a.m., firecrackers are fired in unison, enduring, resigning the old and welcoming the new, "one year old in the sound of firecrackers"! On the first day of the Chinese New Year, to the elders to pay respects to the New Year, it is indispensable to receive red envelopes, and the villagers are busy sending blessings to relatives, and the rich New Year flavor continues until the Fifteenth Lantern Festival.
Nowadays, the taste of the year is fading, the popular WeChat red envelope, WeChat New Year,Think about the past is still quite nostalgic. The new year flavor of the hometown, colorful, is the most distant new year taste in memory, containing simple customs and nostalgia, carrying the tradition of long-standing Chinese culture, not only rice cakes, Chinese New Year's Eve rice, fireworks, spring union, but also the warmth of family affection and human feelings...
