In front of the grave of this female ancestor who left a heavy mark on the family tree with the son of two cultivators, after burning the last paper money, a major event routine of Han Jiuhua's family on Chinese New Year's Eve was finally completed.

It was already lunch time to go back to Han Chao's home, because the ancestral graves were far away and there were many ancestral graves. In addition, they all rely on walking, in fact, it is still a very time-consuming thing to burn paper money on the grave of Hanjiaba.

The lunch at Han Chao's house is very simple, and it is all some home-cooked food.

Because the most important thing on Chinese New Year's Eve is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so it is casual at noon.

If it weren't for the arrival of Liu Qingyi on this Chinese New Year's Eve, lunch would have been simpler.

After lunch, Han Chao took out the Spring Festival couplets sent by the bank and prepared to start pasting the Spring Festival couplets.

Since he was in high school, he has taken care of the Spring Festival couplets in the family every year.

Hao Jinhua had already prepared the rice cereal for the Spring Festival couplets, although after the rice cereal dried, it was very buried on the wall.

But the house is not new enough and not good enough, so what does it matter if you bury it a little more?

The Spring Festival couplets are all printed in one color, and the big red paper is full of big black characters.

It's just the XX bank under the Spring Festival couplets, and a few words are particularly remarkable.

To tell the truth, the modern Spring Festival couplets, don't care about the overall flat rhythm, look at the bottom of the couplet, that is, illiterate people, paste the Spring Festival couplets will not be the upper and lower couplets of the couplets.

These modern printed couplets, generally there are two carps at the bottom of the upper and lower couplets, as long as the fish mouths are opposite, there is no mistake.

Anyway, if you distinguish from the literal meaning of the Spring Festival couplets or the flatness of the tail word, sometimes it is really not necessarily refreshing.

This can't be blamed for the lack of cultural level of the Spring Festival couplets, but the person who wrote the couplets didn't consider these themselves.

Or that they don't care about the couplets at all.

Liu Qingyi helped to take the Spring Festival couplets, and Han Chao took the stool and began to stick to the Spring Festival couplets slowly.

After the big red Spring Festival couplets were pasted with the door god, no matter how dilapidated the house was, it immediately felt that the festive atmosphere was a lot stronger.

The chicken coop of the Korean dynasty is in the same place as the pigsty.

Although Hanjiaba is poor, there are still some people in the older generation who write beautifully.

Han Jiuhua found a cousin of his family that day and asked for a couplet for the pigsty.

After all, the couplets of the pigsty cannot be bought ready-made.

The spring couplets of the pigsty are very simple, the upper link: the five grains are abundant, and the lower link: the six animals are prosperous.

Liu Qingyi looked at the little piglets in the pigsty, and she also felt very interesting.

She had eaten pork, but she had never seen a live pig so quietly.

Han Jiuhua is a mason, and after Han Chao returned to Yucheng, he built a new bathroom in another part of the courtyard of his home.

I heard that people in the city go to the bathroom, pay attention to the toilet, and love to be clean.

It took him about ten days to get a new set of bathroom utensils. Although it is not equipped with a modern toilet, the squat pit is still very clean.

It is necessary to take a bath, shower and other things Water heaters are equipped.

Usually they don't come here to go to the toilet by themselves, and this bathroom is for the daughter-in-law to come back.

Therefore, the old Han couple, during the period after Han Chao left, really made preparations for the arrival of their daughter-in-law.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Liu Qingyi has been here for two days, and she really hasn't been to the pigsty.

This will post the Spring Festival couplets, only to see two little piglets. The big pig has been killed for the New Year a few days ago.

The pork I eat every day now is all the pork that was born and raised in my family.

Liu Qingyi didn't understand what these pigs or chickens and ducks meant to the peasant family.

She couldn't understand why there were still Spring Festival couplets on the door of the pigsty, what was the point.

Of course, she didn't feel anything bad.

Wouldn't it be nice to put on red paper and everything looks so festive?

Hao Jinhua occasionally came out of the kitchen, and she just looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and couldn't help but have some smiles on her face.

Life is nothing more than this, looking at the little couple so sweet and beautiful, she feels that life is getting more and more hopeful.

Smallholder thinking is nothing more than that, but is this wrong?

After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, Han Chao and Liu Qingyi washed their hands in the kitchen.

Since coming to Hanjiaba, Liu Qingyi has been eating to open her mouth, and she has really never been to this kitchen.

Seeing that the kitchen was so big, Hao Jinhua was stir-frying on the pot table, and Han Jiuhua was burning the fire by the earthen stove.

Liu Qingyi saw the earthen stove for the first time, and she was a little curious.

"You haven't seen this thing, my grandmother sat on the fire in the fire bucket, that is, after burning it in an earthen stove with charcoal, and then put it in the brazier, and then put it in the fire bucket. ”

"The rice cooked in this iron pot is fragrant. The chicken soup you drink every day is simmered in a clay pot and in an earthen stove. ”

Han Chao smiled and said to Liu Qingyi.

Han Jiuhua and Hao Jinhua also smiled, this daughter-in-law from outside the city is still quite interesting.

Liu Qingyi felt a little embarrassed.

"You hurry up and take Yiyi out, this kitchen is full of oil smoke. You know, what are you showing off in front of your daughter-in-law?"

Hao Jinhua hurriedly broke a bite in Han Chao's Han Jiaba dialect and drove him out.

Some mothers-in-law like to put on a stand in front of their daughters-in-law, that is the old society. In the new society, especially in a family with only one son, which mother-in-law still treats her daughter-in-law as a treasure?

They may have been wronged by their mother-in-law when they were young, but must this grievance be transferred to their daughter-in-law?

Not necessarily, the times are developing, and people's minds are also moving forward. There are fewer and fewer so-called evil mothers-in-law. This is the trend of the times and the progress of history.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that has plagued thousands of years will only get better and better in the new era.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the increasing cost of marrying a daughter-in-law.

Women can hold up half the sky, and women should indeed be grateful to the great men.

Han Jiuhua and Hao Jinhua have not bad personalities and get along with people very well.

Although Han Jiuhua may be a little floating when he drinks, the essence of people is good.

Han Chao smiled and took Liu Qingyi out of the kitchen, and the old Han couple continued to be busy.

Perhaps at such a moment, they realized that their son had really grown up.

Han Chao and Liu Qingyi accompanied their grandmother Liu Ju to listen to the play, and the young people stopped listening to this thing.

Even in Anseong, the hometown of blueberry theater, there are fewer and fewer young people who can listen to the theater.

Grandma Liu Ju was very quiet, Liu Qingyi sat next to her, took off her shoes, and put her feet on the iron frame of the fire bucket, which was very warm.

The old lady is not as talkative as Grandma Liu, but the old people in the world love their grandchildren the same.

She just took Liu Qingyi's hand with a smile on her face.

She can't speak Yanguo Mandarin, even if she says it, Liu Qingyi can't understand it. She simply didn't say anything, just quietly enjoying such a good time.

Once people get old, how long can they enjoy these good times?

The time was close to half past five in the afternoon, and Han Jiuhua came out of the kitchen.

He held a large wooden basin with smoked pig's head, dried carp rooster, a pair of chopsticks, five garlic sticks, and a kitchen knife.

During the Spring Festival, this smoked pig's head cannot be called a pig's head, and in Hanjiaba, everyone calls it ingots.

This is a blessing ceremony to worship ancestors and heaven and earth at six o'clock in the ancestral hall.

Han Jiuhua asked Han Chao to go to the cabinet to get a salute flower and a cannonball, and by the way, he took a pair of candlesticks with candles.

These things were all ready, and Han Jiuhua walked to the ancestral hall with a wooden basin containing ingots, carp, roosters, etc., and Han Chao held a 10,000-ring firecracker and a 100-ring large salute flower.

Liu Qingyi was not idle, he held a pair of candlesticks that had been filled with candles but were not lit.

The ancestral hall of Hanjiaba is not particularly large, and at this time, it is the most important in the ancestral hall, and a large platform is built with a table and a wooden door.

All the 40 or so families put their wooden pots on the big platform.

The candle holder is placed on the front of the ingot, and the candle is lit at this time.

The ancestral hall of Hanjiaba is the heaviest, with more than 40 pairs of candlesticks and more than 80 candles starting to be lit.

The red candle flame illuminated the pig's head, which was called ingots by the Hanjiaba people, and those ingots also looked particularly spiritual at this time.

The top of the ancestral hall is full of people. With the ancestral hall as the boundary, the east side is the large room, and the west side is the second room.

The house of Han Chao belongs to the big house, but the big house of Hanjiaba is far less prosperous than the second house.

There are about 40 households, and there are only a dozen large houses, but there are 30 small ones in the second room.

Liu Qingyi has experienced this kind of scene for the first time, and it is also very interesting to watch the heads shining in the room.

"Jiuhua, your new daughter-in-law came to the door this year to buy such a gift flower, which is not enough. ”

Someone in the crowd began to make fun of Han Jiuhua.

In fact, where is it not enough, these 100 big flowers, looking at the whole audience, there is only one in the Han Dynasty.

"Jiubing, your family added a grandson last year, and I didn't see you buy such a big gift, you are really a grandfather. ”

"Go back, when I add a grandson, I'll put ten big flowers. ”

Han Jiuhua was not bad, and said with a smile.

There was another burst of laughter in the crowd.

Liu Qingyi couldn't understand what her father-in-law was saying, but she saw that many people were looking at her.

Her face flushed slightly, and she pulled Han Chao's arm tighter.

When the people were almost all there, there were old people who began to take the yellow piping paper brought by each family and began to burn it in front of Dading.

Then some people began to set off firecrackers in the middle of the ancestral hall.

Han Chao pulled Liu Qing out of the side door of the ancestral hall, and more than 40 firecrackers were hung, and all of them were set off later, not to mention the noise.

Even the smoke after the firecrackers are set off is unbearable in the house.

Han Chao helped Liu Qingyi cover his ears. In the ancestral hall, sparks flew and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the world.

One after another, people couldn't stand the smoke of the ancestral hall and came out of the side door.

After the firecrackers burned out, there was still some tinnitus in my ears. Immediately afterwards, the people of Hanjiaba began to worship the sky, the earth, and the ancestral tablets.

The old man with high morality said some good things, and this is the most solemn ancestor worship ceremony for the Hanjiaba people.

Everyone began to take back their offerings and candlesticks, and began to walk home, and when they returned home, they could have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Han Jiuhua was holding a wooden basin, and Han Chao was holding a candlestick with one hand that had been lighting candles.

According to the rules, this candle is to be ordered until dawn and cannot be extinguished.

When she got home, Hao Jinhua had already put all eighteen dishes on the table.

Grandma Liu Ju sat on the largest seat.

Han Jiuhua lit a firecracker, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

Before eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, several elders took out a red envelope from their pockets and handed it to Liu Qingyi.

Liu Qingyi felt a little inexplicable, she was short of that money?

"Yiyi, this is a little bit of our heart as an elder, pressing the New Year's money, pressing the New Year's money. ”

Hao Jinhua said to Liu Qingyi in her broken Mandarin.

Liu Qingyi glanced at Han Chao, and Han Chao motioned for her to accept it.

Liu Qingyi had no choice but to accept the red envelopes of the three elders.

Since she was fifteen years old, Liu Qingyi's family has never sent her New Year's money.

I didn't expect to come here, and there is this treatment?

Han Jiuhua opened a bottle of red wine brought back from Yucheng by Han Chao, and drank a little bit of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Han Chao took the red wine and poured a little red wine into everyone's glass.

The sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because there was one more person, several elders ate exceptionally fragrantly.

Han Chao picked up the wine glass and began to drink a little with his grandmother, wishing her a long life and good health. Grandma Liu Ju is very happy, she usually eats Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, this grandson has never said these words.

After paying tribute to his grandmother, Han Chao had another drink with his parents, and also said some good things they had never heard.

Lao Han and his wife are very warm in their hearts, and their son is becoming more and more presentable now.

In the end, Liu Qingyi had another drink with Liu Qingyi, thanking her for being able to come home for the New Year, and also thanking her for her company.

Liu Qingyi looked confused, they are together every day, is this New Year's eve so polite?

How did she know that eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Hanjiaba was such a rule.

The family lives together every day, so close, is it possible that the last day is not allowed to be polite?

Liu Qingyi is also very smart, after Han Chao saluted a few elders for a while, she also stood up, followed Han Chao's example, and drank a little bit with a few elders.

A few elders were even more happy.

Such a daughter-in-law, with good appearance, good figure, is a college student, smart, understands human feelings, and is a girl in the city.

"Yiyi, I also toast you, our family Xiaochao has a stubborn personality, sometimes he is not very good at talking, you have to take care of it, and you hurry up to get married, and strive to come back for the New Year next year, and we will add another person to our family." ”

Hao Jinhua stood up, held a wine glass, and said with a smile to her future daughter-in-law in non-standard Mandarin.

Liu Qingyi and Han Chao got the certificate, they have been hiding it from Han Chao's parents, so the old Han couple didn't know that they had already received the certificate.

Liu Qingyi smiled and didn't speak, why did she go to any house to eat, urging her to have a child?

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of homes are lit up. It's a day of reunion, it's a day of happiness.

Even if you owe a lot of debt, you have to relax and relax on such a day.

No matter how poor the creditor is, he will probably not manage people and ask for money on such a day.

Hanjiaba Han Jiuhua's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is particularly fragrant this year.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Han Jiuhua helped Hao Jinhua clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Han and North Korea turned on their newly bought TV and began to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

After finishing the work in the kitchen, Hao Jinhua grabbed some melon seeds, peanuts, sweets and pastries and put them on the table.

For the ROK and the DPRK, 2005, which was not bad, is about to pass, and the next 2006 will definitely be even better, right?
