Preface
"Children, don't be greedy, children, after Laba is the New Year. ”
The New Year is coming soon, I don't know if you have noticed, today's New Year is less and less flavorful, I remember when I was a child, adults and children have begun to look forward to it a month before the New Year.
But now people are indulged in busy work and life, and the expectations for the New Year have also dropped significantly, look at these old photos more than 20 years ago, this is called the New Year!
When I was a child, the elders of the family usually began to prepare for the upcoming Spring Festival when the lunar month was born, and all kinds of New Year's goods and food were bought at home like wholesale.
The people in the picture are buying the candy they need for the New Year, only at this time, the New Year's goods on the street are the most complete, these candies are usually bought to entertain guests, and most of them still enter the belly of the children at home.
In addition to sweets, all kinds of meat are also essential, and ingredients such as the preserved chicken sausage in the picture are also important for people to choose when they go to the market.
In addition to buying a variety of New Year's goods, my mother would also fry a lot of food, such as fried fish, small crispy pork and croquettes, which were used to entertain guests during the New Year.
I remember when I was a child, every time I fried something at home, the children would gather around, and after the thing was fried, I didn't care about burning my hands, and secretly took a ball and stuffed it into my mouth, which was very fragrant.
In the north, of course, the Chinese New Year is to make dumplings, at this time, usually the whole family will play, the family sits together, talking and laughing, very happy.
Of course, everyone is not idle in their hands, while talking, while wrapping dumplings, people also like to put a coin in the dumplings, who eats it means that the new year is much deeper.
In the past, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people would go to the elders' houses in the village to pay New Year's greetings.
However, it is difficult to see such a majestic New Year's greeting scene as in the picture now.
We can buy new clothes whenever we want to, but in the past, people could only wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year, I remember when I was a child, the new clothes I bought before the Chinese New Year, I put them in the cabinet and took them out from time to time to wear them for a while.
Then he reluctantly took it off, and it was not until the morning of the first day of the new year that he wore it outside, and the little boy in the picture was wearing new clothes, and it could be seen from the boy's eyes that he was very satisfied with the new clothes.
During the Chinese New Year, there will be a lot of toys that you can't usually see on the street, and these firecrackers and small toys in the picture should be the dream of many boys when they were young.
Nowadays, when we go to relatives, we basically drive our own family cars, and sit in the car, which is warm and fast, but more than 20 years ago, cars were not very common in many small places.
The family is crammed into a leaky car on all sides, going to the homes of relatives and friends, and there are also motorbikes and bicycles on the road, which used to be common in the past, but is rarely seen anymore.
The four little girls were wearing new clothes, and they all jumped up with joy, for children, the New Year is a very happy thing, they don't have to go to school, and they can eat delicious food.
In the past, if the family conditions were better, they would usually kill a pig directly, and the five men in the picture were struggling to catch a pig, and the pig seemed to know its fate, it struggled hard, but it didn't seem to be of any use.
When the adults were killing pigs, many little boys couldn't hold back their curiosity and wanted to see how the adults killed the pigs, and the little boy in red in the picture was dumbfounded.
New Year's picture is the fastest way to make the home have a sense of New Year's atmosphere "artifact", the festive New Year's picture is pasted, the feeling of the New Year is coming, the picture of the little boy holding the carp, looks meaty, very cute.
When I was a child, every time the New Year came, the family would buy a few New Year's pictures and paste them at home, but I don't know why, now the New Year's paintings have been gradually eliminated, and not many people have posted them.
In the past, setting off firecrackers was a favorite thing for children to do, because it was not safe to play with fire, and the adults in the family would light a stick of incense for the children to play with firecrackers.
In the picture, the little boy was holding a stick of incense and was about to light a cannon, only to see that his frightened face was a little hideous, while the adults on one side were holding his tools, one big and one small were playing happily.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the crackling firecrackles begin, and after dawn, the boys' exclusive action begins, that is, to look for "fish that have slipped through the net" among the burning firecrackers.
In the picture, several bold little boys are looking for small firecrackers that have not been lit in a pile of burned firecrackers, which is estimated to have been done by many boys when they were young.
There are not many people watching the Spring Festival Gala now, and many people think that the current Spring Festival Gala program is a bit boring and difficult for people to watch, but in the past, watching the Spring Festival Gala was a must-have program for the New Year.
Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan, the "golden combination", accompanied us through one unforgettable Spring Festival after another many years ago, and the sketches at that time were really funny, which made the family very happy to watch.
The greatest significance of the New Year is the reunion dinner on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, when the children grow up, in order to live in various places, they rarely go home to accompany the elderly throughout the year.
As the most important festival in the hearts of Chinese, the Spring Festival has become the best reason to reunite with family, and the family sits together to eat, accompany the elderly, and be happy.
There are still a lot of places for people to have fun in the New Year's market, such as the balloon shooting game in the picture, which should have been played by many people, and the more balloons you shoot, the better the prizes you get.
"If you have money or not, go home for the New Year", for the people at that time, the New Year was a must go home, from this picture, we can see that people at that time were obsessed with going home.
In fact, if we are according to the standards of that time, we are now celebrating the New Year every day, because the previous standard of living was not good, so people can only wear new clothes and eat good food during the New Year.
And now, we can eat a big meal and put on new clothes at any time, and now the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and the taste of the New Year is naturally getting lighter and lighter.
