Today's old village is not quiet. There are still bursts of firecrackers in the village temple from time to time.

"Who is so early. Wu Cuimei stood by the window on the southeast side, looking in the direction of the entrance of the village, and muttered.

Although the mountains block the view, the smoke of firecrackers can be faintly seen drifting into the air.

She said: "It's only past six o'clock, why did someone come to serve tea?" ”

"It's not too early after six o'clock. Liu Qingshan said while lighting a fire, "I went there in the middle of the night last night." ”

"Isn't it strange, either you should go in the middle of the night, or you should go at seven or eight o'clock, it's only past six o'clock, and you go to the temple to serve tea, isn't it too early. ”

"It's the right time. Liu Yuanhe also got up, "There are more people in the middle of the night, and there are more people at eight o'clock." Now it's the smart people who go to the tea ceremony. ”

Wu Cuimei walked back with a smile: "No matter what others do, we haven't served tea at home, Qingshan, hurry up and boil tea, and prepare to give tea to your grandfather." ”

"Oh, good. ”

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone has to wake up early. This is a good moral that means that throughout the year, you can sleep well and wake up early.

Whoever slept past eight o'clock would not have a good meaning.

After boiling the tea, Liu Qingshan began to offer tea to the ancestors of the family.

The first meal of the new year can only be enjoyed after the tea ceremony.

Today's breakfast is oil slices and oil tea.

The oil is sliced and soaked in oil tea, and the taste is also very good.

However, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't use the knife.

So I cut the oil dumplings yesterday, and I cut a lot of them. The same is true for the pine fire primers used to make the fire, and you have to prepare a lot of them yesterday, so as not to use a knife to chop pine chips this morning.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't use a knife, sweep the floor, wash your clothes, or wash your hair.

Also, the clothes hanging in the yard had to be taken back to the house yesterday, and they were not allowed to go out for the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't swear, you can't spit on the ground, you can't scold people, you can't beat people, naturally, you can't slaughter chickens and ducks.

Another point is that you can't go out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and you have to stay at home as much as possible, so as not to get into trouble outside and ruin the good omen of the year.

Therefore, on today's day, the family will honestly stay at home and watch the replay of the Spring Festival Gala.

Of course, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't watch anti-Japanese films that fight and kill, there are ghost movies or something, you have to watch some festive ones, such as the Spring Festival Gala, and the Spring Festival Gala......

Although the first day of the Lunar New Year is quite painful, as long as I think that from the second day of the Lunar New Year, I can visit relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year, and the family is still very happy. They sat around the charcoal basin, happily watching TV, and happily discussing the procedures for visiting relatives and friends in the future.

"Tomorrow on the second day of the new year, your third uncle will definitely come back, there are still chickens, ducks and fish at home, you don't need to buy vegetables, Qingshan, what about you, tomorrow I will go to your second grandfather and grandmother to pay New Year's greetings." However, your grandmother doesn't want to open the door, so don't talk too much, put down your things and leave, so as not to upset her. Wu Cuimei commanded one by one.

"On the third day of the day after tomorrow, your cousin's house celebrates the holiday, but since your aunt left, there is no contact, just last time your grandfather died, I went to a trip, and it doesn't feel right, it doesn't matter if I don't go to the third year of junior high school, anyway, I'm older, your uncle never came to our house in previous years, and we don't need to go. Although Wu Cuimei really wanted to take her son, who had bought a new car, to show off everywhere, she really couldn't be interested when she thought of Qingshan's uncle.

"Let's go to your aunt's house in the third year of junior high school. Wu Cuimei thought about it, and finally decided, "Just go to your aunt's house." ”

"When did I have an aunt?" Liu Qingshan looked confused.

Wu Cuimei said: "Isn't my cousin your aunt?" ”

Liu Qingshan: ......

According to my mother's idea, it is estimated that this year, I have to visit all the seven aunts and eight aunts who can't be beaten.

Liu Qingshan was a little speechless, but seeing her mother's interested, it was really hard to hit her, so she could only agree one by one first.

By noon, the family had to eat properly.

The three meals on the first day of the Lunar New Year are particular, and you have to eat meat.

After drinking oil tea in the morning, you still have to eat some meat and rice.

At noon, it is no exception, and you can't just have two bowls of oil tea and rice as usual.

For lunch, I had to eat meat, fish, rice, and all kinds of delicious food.

This means that this year can also be like today's first day of the Lunar New Year, eat meat and live a good life.

When lunch was about to end, the old couple took out a red envelope and handed it to Liu Qingshan, saying some auspicious words by the way.

Although Liu Qingshan is old, he is not married yet, and he is still a child in the eyes of the old couple.

Moreover, the meaning of this red envelope is different from that of a red envelope for children.

Give red envelopes to children because they will be happy to receive red envelopes, so I wish them so happy every day in the new year.

can give a red envelope to a giant baby like Liu Qingshan, in fact, so that he can also receive money on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which means that he will have money every day for the next year.

In fact, the money itself belongs to Liu Qingshan.

On Chinese New Year's Eve yesterday, Liu Qingshan gave the old couple two a New Year's fund of 2,000 yuan each, otherwise, how could these two families be happy to discuss who they want to go to this year to greet the New Year this year.

First, it was because his son bought a new car, and secondly, it was naturally because he received a big red envelope from his son yesterday, and he had funds.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two of them slowly spent their discussions with each other.

In the evening, you have to cook a chicken to worship the gods in the temple, and the procedure is the same as on Chinese New Year's Eve.

It was not until the second day of the Lunar New Year that the worship of the mountain god came to an end.

However, although there is no need to worship the mountain god on the second day of the new year today, I am going to start paying New Year's greetings to my relatives.

Early in the morning, Liu Qingshan counted out a few cartons of milk from the storage room.

This so-called milk is nothing more than Wangzi milk, or eight-treasure porridge and the like.

However, whether it is milk, or eight-treasure porridge, or soy milk, coconut milk, as long as it is this kind of New Year's festival to relatives, the mountain people call them milk.

Nowadays, for New Year's gifts, milk is the highest level in the mountains.

A carton of milk inevitably costs dozens of yuan a carton, but it is not the highest level in the eyes of mountain people whose per capita income is generally not high.

Most of the people in the mountains still just deliver biscuits.

This cookie is not made by yourself, but the kind of panpan bread that I bought, or other bagged bread and biscuits.

Whether it is bread, biscuits or other dry food, the mountain people call it 'biscuits'.
