The other day, the rice grains have been chanting at Universal Studios since Chinese New Year's Eve, and I finally gritted my back teeth and took him on a trip.
Sure enough, as expected, there were so many people that it was comparable to the Spring Festival.
As soon as I entered the hogwarts gate, there was a locomotive at the door, and in the endless crowd, the feeling of spring transportation was already on the head, and I had the urge to climb up and want to hurry home.
The grains of rice were in the crowded sea, and they shouted to me happily: "Mom, this year I have been complete." “
What the? You Chinese, come to a playground this year is too hi??
I really feel a little sad for this child.
In the New Year, not only the Spring Festival, but also the Spring Festival, a table full of Han Chinese seats, firecracker confetti on the street, and even socks from head to toe are new clothes...
There are also the Spring Festival Gala, dumplings, the big red envelopes of the seven uncles and eight aunts, the older brothers, sisters, younger brothers and sisters staying up all night...
Unfortunately, the Spring Festival of rice grains can't feel the New Year's flavor of the New Year, and so do I.
The Spring Festival caught up with the epidemic, and we nested in Beijing and did not go anywhere.
Every year I will go to the Forbidden City to punch in, this year I have been afraid of many people hesitant, missed the booking.
▲ Send a picture of last year to solve the eyes
Originally, I wanted to take the grain of rice to the hutongs to hang out and feel the atmosphere of the old Beijing New Year, but because I didn't make a plan, I didn't go to it.
The only thing that has a little atmosphere is that we still went to Hongluo Temple to pray for blessings in the second year of junior high school.
Embarrassingly, so many plans didn't work out, but I ghostly promised the grain of rice to Go to Universal Studios.
All "strange" years ago, there was a snow in Beijing, and everyone in the circle of friends was brushing photos of hogwarts drifting snow, and after the rice grains saw it, they cried and shouted to go.
I said: New Year's Day, the situation will improve and I will take you there.
From the Chinese New Year's Eve, he began to ask me continuously: Is the situation getting better? Can I go?
I asked him to watch the news himself.
Every day when the rice grains go to bed together, they will read the news, see the release of the epidemic situation, and as soon as there is a new diagnosis, he will cry and mourn.
Fortunately, after the fourth year of junior high school, the Winter Olympics came.
The Spring Festival of rice grains is accompanied by a Winter Olympics, and in addition to looking forward to the arrival of the ice pier, there is some different happiness than usual days.
When I thought that the Spring Festival New Year flavor with only grains of rice was too light, I had the heart to ask how several children around him spent the New Year?
Unexpectedly, the children's answers were lackluster.
Xiao Jie's father has been stationed in the United States for many years, and this year he supported a certain technology in the Winter Olympic Hall to stay in China for the New Year, although no one went abroad, but he has been staying in the Bird's Nest and Zhangjiakou.
At home, there is still Xiao Jie and his mother, and there is no change in the slightest.
Mom is still very happy, the Spring Festival to Xiao Jie put 3 days off, his life is: sleep in the morning until the natural wake up, in the afternoon to see a movie.
Have a big dinner in the evening and play games.
The biggest cool point of this year in Xiao Jie's eyes is that he can completely relax, do not have to write homework, and have no nagging from his mother, and rely on these 3 days to "return blood" in a year.
This little boy said to me: In fact, as long as you live like this every day, it is a New Year's Day for him.
My God, did the New Year just turn into a happy holiday without having to write homework?!
However, there is the same feeling, not only Xiao Jie, but also the hair of the rice grain, a Haidian Primary School bully.
In the past few days of the New Year, the "painting class" in their community has stopped classes (all the paintings are a combination of English words and numbers), and the teacher has also gone back to the New Year.
The community seemed very lonely and deserted, she had nothing to do, and she had a full 7 days off at the strong request of her grandmother.
Even the daily English punch card and diary stopped at the same time, and I asked her to play.
All year round, the primary school bully can only see his grandmother in the New Year, in previous years, he returned to his hometown in the northeast, and this year his grandmother came to Beijing for the New Year.
Although the old lady has been lamenting that Beijing has no New Year's flavor, it is the New Year to see her granddaughter, for her.
Grandma has a request to her granddaughter: don't write, hurry up and play.
Giving children a holiday is tighter than supervising learning.
As long as the child's father has a little bit of a slight word, the old lady will shoot, and the way and method are also very haidian.
The old man directly took out the Olympiad question, let her father do it, do it right, you can let the granddaughter continue to learn.
It is conceivable that Dad must have done something wrong, and even a few questions could not be written at all, Grandma looked at this middle-aged man with a red face and wanted to argue.
After humming a sentence from his nose, he took his granddaughter out of the house, bought clothes, visited the supermarket, opened the blind box, and spent the big red envelope that his father gave to his grandmother before going home.
Therefore, for the primary school bully, there is a grandmother in the New Year, and there is a grandmother who does not have to study at all.
In addition to these children who are on holiday, there are also some children who are new year's eve = training.
In recent years, with the help of the East Wind of the Winter Olympics, many children around me have begun to train in the Winter Olympics from an early age.
Rice grain has a good friend, as long as it is winter, it is difficult to see him, he is not training in Zhangjiakou, or in the northeast training.
He mainly focuses on snowboarding U-shaped pool, last year's best result was the top four in the U series youth group, and at the end of the exam, the child went straight to Harbin.
Driven by him, in recent years, more and more friends around the rice grain, the conservative project of the New Year has become skiing.
In Beijing, there are originally large and small ski resorts, and there is a lot of space to choose, not to mention that some ski resorts have hot springs next to them, and some are not far from the outlets.
Kids skiing, moms soaking in the hot springs or shopping, the difference is the same.
It's a great plan for small-scale travel for the whole family, and it's great to have the whole family do rather than being at home in a daze.
Happy to be happy, but if you don't see the Spring Festival of the ski resort and the Spring Festival discount promotion information of the mall, it is really difficult to capture the taste of the New Year.
In the past few years, I have always felt very sorry, and I have been trying very hard to feel the pure New Year with the grain of rice.
But the harder you try, the more awkward it becomes.
The Spring League at home is more and more sticky and flashy, and it is almost on the lantern series.
The dumpling filling is more and more confusing, and it is almost pure sea urchin.
Melon seeds and peanuts have become various Internet celebrity snacks recommended by the doctor of food, not seeking delicious food, but seeking the most expensive and difficult to buy.
Sugar oranges have also become cherries, the tamales on Chinese New Year's Eve vegetables have become steamed Dragons, the wallet has become deflated at the speed of light, but the taste of the year has irreversibly faded.
Chinese New Year's Eve, I was in the hema platoon, watching everyone fishing boston lobsters as crazy as fishing crayfish, I suddenly found a little Excitement for the New Year.
When I happily joined the group and the fishing was in full swing, the man who cut the door asked me:
"What are you all trying to do?" Are you not looking at the price? “
I replied to him, "Because of the New Year, everyone should be arrogant!" “
Rice grain asked: "That New Year's Day, the happiest is the box horse." “
In a word, it extinguished my enthusiasm.
I told him with a straight face: "As long as the New Year, we Chinese to buy things like this, and we must spend the most extravagant and reluctant money of the year on this reunion time!" So, you don't talk to me about money. “
Grain rice said: "Every year when you have a birthday, you also spend so much money, and so you say, not just for the New Year. “
I:.......
In the end, this year, I can't live the taste of the year when I was a child.
In the final analysis, I am so obsessed with the New Year because I am afraid that when the rice grains grow up, I will not remember the steaming, red-hot, and noisy Spring Festival.
Without the taste of the year, he can't understand a lot of Chinese's unique feelings, homecoming, reunion, return to the heart, and stability.
This complex will take you farther, your heart is not flustered, and you will calmly have an expectation at any time: when the New Year comes, I will go home.
After studying abroad for many years, this feeling is stronger and the understanding is deeper.
I have always thought that if children think that the Spring Festival is just an ordinary holiday, there is nothing special, it is really regrettable.
