Let the past tell the present, let the present enlighten the future!
Parents raise their children with hard work and unforgettable teeth.
Passed down from generation to generation, the glorious tradition is remembered.
Do you remember the years of youth in your heart?
Instructor Liu's words have made me useful for the rest of my life.
The little girl has been baptized by the years, and she has gradually become an adult, and she has struggled!
Looking back on the past, it's like yesterday. I'm still very young this year.
Twenty years later, can we remember this day?
The Year of the Pig is under the sixth luck city, and the harvest is good snow!
In the past, how did those Spring Festivals be spent
Now that I am a grandfather, I want to tell my children and grandchildren about the little-known things. Because, the full man does not know that the hungry man is hungry. In particular, if our generation no longer speaks out loud, I am afraid that it will be difficult for future generations to know. Now, it's time to tell you. No matter what kind of family and country feelings, there must be a good inheritance.
Yuncheng is located in the center of China, which can be seen at a glance from the national map. A big rooster, Yuncheng happens to be in the heart. Shunyu first chose to build a capital here because it was a place of fertile wilderness and thousands of acres of grain and cotton. The yellow land, the water of the Yellow River has created this side of the Hedong people Zhong Ling Shuxiu, the people of the earth. Yuncheng is located in the south of Shanxi, and is also the southernmost part of the entire North China. The folk customs of the northerners are simple and kind, and their diligence and bravery have left countless legends in this land. Perhaps because of the generations, the People of Yuncheng are still popular and filial piety is supreme. From the time I can remember, I must not forget what festival I have every year, because there are too many benefits when I arrive at the festival. One is to buy new clothes, children who don't love glamorous and beautiful clothes? Second, there are a lot of delicious foods, not so many delicious foods during the New Year's Festival? The third is that every New Year's Festival, relatives will go to the door to deliver food, send old money, and so on. So a year with a finger to count, after the Dragon Boat Festival to think of June 1 (is our half slope an ancient temple fair), after June 1 think of August 15, after August 15 think of the winter solstice, the solar calendar year, Lapa Eight, the most favorite is the Big Year. As soon as the waxing moon enters, even if there are many days when the family starts to prepare New Year goods, the delicious food will not be broken. Every year after the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the father must first purchase a large pig's head, pig water, pig mutton, etc., first boiled in two pots and then made a large pot of frozen meat. At that time, pigs and mutton were seven or eight cents per kilogram, and eggs could be bought for thirteen or four for a dollar. Then buy lotus vegetables, prepare peanuts and rice, steam jin cakes, cook Lanterns, etc. Especially every 23rd and 4th of the Waxing Moon, the family began to ask my sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, second brother or fried twist flower to help, cook thirty or forty pounds of twist flowers, and then fry fish and fried tofu, busy and happy. That is to say, after the twenty-third day of the Waxing Moon, basically no longer eat coarse grains, basically entered the New Year stage. That is to say, the taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger every day. At that time, I had four large black tanks (also known as big men) in my house, and most of them were wheat. If you eat a mouthful of wheat, you are somewhat uneasy, looking forward to filling it up again in three months. In those years, eating was the first, and people could not survive without food. Fortunately, my father and grandfather were railway workers, and my father received a fixed monthly salary of 72 or 5 yuan from 65 until his retirement in 1979. My grandfather's retirement pension from 60 years was 42 or 5 yuan per month to December 1971. At that time, there were 7 brothers and sisters in the family, life was not very bitter, but it was also more difficult, and every year corn flour sorghum red fu also had to eat for more than half a year. Every New Year's Day, parents and elders press the old money, yu finger pressure one pressure, long one long. The money is generally issued according to the size of the annual order, and I am the eldest of my siblings, so I take the most. On the 29th of the waxing moon or Chinese New Year's Eve, Yuncheng people pay attention to staying up late. Staying up late is to keep the age, to see who can stay up the longest, who will be the most blessed. In fact, once twelve o'clock passed, I couldn't stand it, and one by one I was crooked. A bunch of fires in the cage in the yard cannot be extinguished, and from time to time, the art hemp poles, soybean seedlings and cypress branches will explode, and we are always startled by the drowsiness. In the early hours of the morning, the sky was not bright, and the firecrackers were fired everywhere, and the loudest was the high and bright double cannon. Immediately after, eat dumplings and pray to the New Year. First give the grandparents and parents a blank stare, and then bow to the family according to the seniority and ask for red envelopes. By noon, the big fish and big meat were eaten fiercely, and at that time, it was eager to eat a full meal for three days.
Year after year goes on like this, and generations go like this. By the 1980s and 1990s, the economy was getting better, living conditions were improving, and the New Year was getting better and better. Life is a lifetime, a mere hundred years, and the suffering we suffer is unknown to the next generation. Today is a memory that awakens future generations.
