The year passed really fast, and unconsciously it was the end of the year, and the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger was gradually approaching. Unforgettable memories, years of time, hurried and fulfilling. The Spring Festival in my memory has long been like a dream, but I feel that today's Spring Festival is not as good as in the past.
As a child, it was the long-awaited Spring Festival. After the winter vacation, I have hope for the Spring Festival. At that time, I didn't expect much to wear, but when it came to eating, it was a special expectation. Eat white buns, eat meat. Of course, the family income is slightly better, and it is even more exciting to make a new dress for the child at the time of the New Year's Festival. We don't care about wearing since we were young, but we don't care about eating. Not afraid of jokes, delicious! Genteel said, that is, good appetite, very fond of eating.
In the New Year, the busiest task of each family is to prepare New Year goods, steamed steamed buns, croquettes, fried fruits, pork is a must, beef and mutton is just a legend in the dream. You know, what our children are most looking forward to is the pork stew noodles that we can eat in the New Year. When it comes to pork stew noodles, that's something to look forward to. I bought a few pounds of pork, which was boiled in boiling water. The stove of the pot was on fire, and not long after, the aroma of meat in the courtyard was so full of food that our children swallowed their saliva, and they all stared at when the meat in the pot could be cooked. Soon, the fire in the hearth stops, and the meat is about to come out of the pot! It was steaming hot and fragrant, and the air in the pot house was filled with an intoxicating aroma. We children, with our mouths open and drinking steaming mist, have eaten pork that has long been coveted by us. At this time, my mother would always give us a piece of meat, sprinkle some salt, and tell us to pull down the food. Just comforting, while sniffing, slow down, tongue don't swallow! Eat the meat, and then the pork soup with the oil is the most hungry for us. Soak in stone-ground pancakes, put some chili noodles, both rice and vegetables, occasionally add some salt beans, eat that fragrant! That taste, to this day the aftertaste is lingering for a long time...
on Chinese New Year's Eve day, post the written Spring Festival, which is particularly festive. At Chinese New Year's Eve night, firecrackers, fires, and vigils, the sweet potato aroma in the stove made us hungry again. Later, with TV and watching the Spring Festival Gala, it was another Chinese New Year's Eve feast. On the morning of the first day of the first year, I made dumplings, prayed to the New Year, and ate and took them. What is eaten is dumplings, and what is taken is pressed money. One corner, two corners, and then one dollar, two dollars, that really rich rhythm. We little children at this time, that is really called the arrival of the "harvest season". Happiness is exploding! After the New Year, the atmosphere of the festival is even more exciting. Go to relatives and watch the annual meeting. When I was a child, the annual meeting was actually a local folk performance such as running a dry boat, stepping on stilts, dancing lions, and running bamboo horses. At that time, almost all the villages were "disk meetings", everyone communicated with each other, performed with each other, and brought a festive atmosphere to the fathers and fellow villagers. A large piece of colored silk or red cloth will be hung on the tall tree on the side of the road at the head of the village, which means that the village can perform the annual meeting. The extras, the gongs and drums guys are all particularly complete. The tour and the show are all fun and beautiful. That scene still remains in the depths of my mind.
Nowadays, people are middle-aged, and the Spring Festival of several decades has passed. It's not what it used to be, and it's the same with the years. There are years, but it always feels like the taste of previous years is gone. I just feel that the year is a cultural symbol, a cultural inheritance, and a cultural memory. People who travel far away have more nostalgia and add memories of their hometown. Sometimes even helpless to call to the hometown, a few more dings, a few more worries, the beat of "Wandering Son" sounded in the heart again. Parents are here, not far away. But the helplessness of life has to be lost. Fortunately, the times have developed, although the space has a distance, but the Internet era, but also let people almost immediately keep family affection.
Year, what exactly it is, can be said clearly, but it is not clear. There is a way that the year is to send tears of lovesickness, and the year is to linger on the calf. Just frankly, the year is a sweet and sour aftertaste, the year is the memory of this life, the year is the expectation of the heart for a long time, and the year is all the precipitation of life. Yes, life sometimes needs precipitation, but also needs to be experienced. There must be enough time to reflect, to reflect on the past of the year, the present of the year, and the future of the year. Of course, we must also have enough experience to grow, after a year, a year older, but also a mature spring. Admittedly, young people are a year old, and middle-aged people are a year old. I still feel that every year is like this, happy spring, happy to spend the New Year. In this way, we can make ourselves more perfect, wiser, and more mature and indifferent. The Year of the Tiger is auspicious! Let's take an early look!
