Going home for the New Year, before every Spring Festival, is the biggest expectation of most Chinese people. But every year, there are still many people who can only celebrate the New Year on the spot for various reasons. In order to ensure that the people of the local New Year feel the festive and warm New Year atmosphere, many cities across the country have issued "red envelopes" and consumption coupons to the citizens of the Local New Year, so that the people who celebrate the New Year in place can feel the warmth of home and the joy of the New Year.
In Guangdong, there is such a group of tenants, although they cannot return to their hometown to spend the Spring Festival with their families, but in their own way, let the year of staying in a foreign country also have a different "taste" and "meaning".
The rented house is also worth the 2 hours of decoration
"Write blessing characters, paste the Spring Festival, and celebrate the New Year with joy." Chinese New Year's Eve night, Angel sent the beautiful pictures of the rental house and the photos of the game played with the tenants to the family group after spending 2 hours, and called her parents in Macau to visit the New Year. Although I was not accompanied by my side, the red-hot New Year atmosphere did not diminish at all because of the distance.
Angel is an office worker near Guangzhou Science City, the first Spring Festival she did not spend with her parents. Due to the busy work, in response to the call of "local New Year", Angel chose to stay in Guangzhou for the New Year. Although the house where she lives is rented, Anqi is not sloppy at all during the New Year's ceremony: Spring Festival, FuZi, Window Flowers, Wishing Tree, none of them are less arranged. Chinese New Year's Eve early in the morning, Anqi began to prepare, "Never wrote the Spring Festival, pasted the window flowers, but for their own happy nest, everything is worth it." It took 2 hours for Angie to set up her cabin.
Originally, she thought that the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger by herself would be particularly "lonely and lonely and cold", but to her surprise, the first Spring Festival she lived was particularly flavorful. "Probably because I live in Guanyu Bar, this year's New Year is not lonely at all, the operation officer called all the tenants who are stationed in Guangzhou like me to write spring festivals, play games, win prizes, although my parents are not around, but I feel the liveliness of the reunion and the long-lost New Year's taste, and the sense of happiness is not less."
The Chinese New Year's Eve meals that blend north and south, and the neighbors are also family
Not being around their parents for the New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve preparations for dinner is obviously the "most headache" for everyone to celebrate the New Year. Xiao Shuo, who was in Zhuhai, was supposed to go back to Harbin for the Chinese New Year, but just before returning home, he was notified that the flight had been cancelled. "Originally planned to be a lonely New Year's Day, but unexpectedly received an invitation from Zhuhai Guanyu operation officer Xiao Pig to go to his friend's house for the New Year, and came to a Chinese New Year's Eve meal that integrated northern and southern cuisines, which was so unforgettable."
Although he is 26 years old this year, in the eyes of his parents, Xiao Shuo is still the "baby" of the family. "In the past, my parents used to prepare for the New Year at home, and I would at most follow behind to pay, or I would make a start when cooking at home." Xiao Shuo confessed that she had never cooked Chinese New Year's Eve meal herself. For this Chinese New Year's Eve meal, she also remotely consulted her parents and searched online, preparing recipes for authentic Northeastern dishes such as pulled sweet potatoes, pork knuckles, red sausages, and sauerkraut backbones. But cooking is so easy, Xiao Shuo said with a smile, plucking the sweet potato himself watched the video three times, and finally made it still did not pull the silk, how to kill crabs also have to temporarily go online to find a tutorial ...
After more than 5 hours of hard work, Xiao Shuo and several people finally made 12 dishes. "Didn't you see that when you finished cooking Chinese New Year's Eve, the kitchen was like the battlefield where the battle had just ended, and it was a mess." Xiao Shuo, who has a warm and cheerful personality, laughs at the fact that his cooking skills are not online, but he also enjoys it. "Suddenly, I felt that my New Year was also a special experience. I am also very grateful for the invitation of Guanyu's friends, so that my new year alone becomes lively and warm. "This Spring Festival in Zhuhai has also allowed Xiao Shuo to grow a lot."
Different on the sign, remote can also send blessings
Because he was on duty during the Spring Festival holiday this year, his wife and children flew from Xinjiang to Guangzhou to accompany him for the New Year. "Although I didn't go home this year, the rented Guanyu Sanyuanli store has made a warm New Year's decoration, and I have also prepared a wealth of New Year gifts for my family and children." While saying, Da Zhuang also held up the 2 "upper signatures" he drew: one is auspicious and happy, and the other is the peace of the years, "These two upper signatures are remote blessings for the family, and have been photographed and sent back to everyone." Da Zhuang said that as long as the family is together, everywhere is home, every day is the New Year," these two sticks are signed, I think let this year of the tiger suddenly full of tiger spirit and business, this year will definitely have good luck, haha." ”
Although in a different place, the Spring Festival is still the most important festival in the minds of every Chinese, symbolizing the Chinese people's yearning for a better life. The "fight" of tenants also reflects the importance that everyone attaches to the year. Steaming dumplings, thick red envelopes, fireworks in the night sky... Those scenes, no matter where we are, are like old photos firmly stuck in the memory of the Spring Festival. Even if you are thousands of miles away from home, you can smell the new year in your memory when you think of these pictures.
That is, at this moment, in Longhu Guanyu, it can always make this Spring Festival that stays in Guangdong equally warm. (Haiping)
