The taste of many traditional festivals is not as good as before, in the final analysis, it is the acceleration of the pace of life, which has led to the loss of the sense of ritual in traditional festivals, and most people can no longer feel the difference between them and usual, except for holidays.

Qiqi attaches great importance to traditional festivals, and every year is very flavorful.

The third uncle Li Yuxing and his wife rushed back from Huzhou early in the morning, everyone had a reunion dinner together at noon, and the three brothers also went to visit their cousins and cousins who lived in nearby towns, all of whom were relatives of Qiqi's grandparents, many relatives Qiqi no longer knew, and the three brothers took moon cakes to the door to see.

Grandpa and grandma wanted to go to see it, after all, they were all people of their generation, but they were too old to move around, so their son was the representative to visit.

In the afternoon, Wang Huisu and the eldest aunt together to kill chickens and ducks, this beautiful big gelding chicken is killed, the chicken feet and chicken wings are twisted, the whole is cooked and fished out, the mouth is inserted with a cypress leaf, the head is raised, between the head of the chicken and the back of the chicken put a round chicken red, like a phoenix.

This chicken is used to worship the gods, and it should be made beautiful, and after worshipping the gods, it can be eaten.

Another chicken and duck after the killing is much simpler, the chicken is used to make white cuts, two ducks are used to marinate, cut off the duck neck, duck wings, duck paws, with firewood and a large pot of whole marinade.

Qiqi took Ning Yue and Ning Xue to wait at the door of the kitchen, and after the duck was marinated, the eldest aunt first fished out the leftovers of duck neck, duck wings, duck palms, and duck intestines, and let Qiqi take them to eat.

Like duck gizzards and duck hearts, the taste is fragrant after marinating, Qiqi likes to eat these leftovers, which are particularly flavorful, but she doesn't like to eat the whole duck very much, so she can eat it casually on the dinner table.

"Sister Qiqi, I want duck wings!"

"I want a duck neck!"

Qiqi took out the marinated leftovers with a big bowl, and the three sisters ate them together.

Sika, Sika, is fighting with the geese in the yard.

This big white goose was raised by my grandmother, and I have been raising it for two years, and it is a super large one, and when I open my wings, I can fight with a cow with that momentum.

Originally, when my grandmother raised this big white goose, she thought that there were often leftovers at home and rotten leaves left over from picking vegetables, and she didn't want to waste it, so she raised a big white goose and ate the goose when it was fat.

Okay, it's two years to raise it, grandma has raised feelings, and she is not willing to eat it, this big male goose will not lay eggs, it is fierce to death, and it is usually locked up in the backyard, except for grandma, everyone has to peck when you see it.

Sika was idle, so he ran to the backyard to see the goose, and when he looked at it, the big white goose couldn't like the big white cat, so he chased after him and wanted to peck at it.

Big White Goose: "Goose Goose Goose!!"

Sika: "Meow?"

Sika didn't panic at all when he saw the big white goose coming over violently.

Fierce, fierce, you, you can't see this wooden fence, there is a kind of you flying out and pecking me.

Sika was not afraid at all, and even stuck out his little tongue defiantly.

The big white goose was angry, flapped its huge wings a few times, rushed far away, and then rushed and flapped its wings, and the goose's paws stepped on the wooden fence, and it flew out with a bang.

Sika was startled, oh my god, a fat goose of more than twenty catties could actually fly out of this meter-high wooden fence.

Big White Goose: "Goose Goose Goose!!"

Sika didn't expect this guy to run out, and when he wasn't careful, his ass was pecked hard by the big white goose, and a handful of cat hair was torn off.

"Meow!"

Sika hurriedly slipped away, there was no reason to follow the village bully, the big white goose would peck whoever was upset, either beat it to death, or it would chase you and peck it relentlessly.

The big white goose chased the big fat cat from the backyard to the front yard, and then ran from the front yard to the backyard, and the big white goose flapped its wings, making the sky dusty.

Millie was obediently helping her grandmother weed in the front yard, and when she saw such a fierce goose, Millie was so frightened that she ran back to the house.

"Sika! What are you doing!

Qiqi came out with a bowl in his hand, chewing a piece of duck gizzard in his mouth.

Sika found a savior and quickly hid behind Qiqi.

Big White Goose: "Goose Goose Goose!!"

The big white goose is not afraid at all, except for listening to grandma's words at home, no one pays attention to it, flapping its wings, and is about to peck at Qiqi with its head held high.

"Ahhh

Qiqi was also startled, and hurriedly ran back to the house to move the savior.

Grandma finally came out, and the big white goose put on a well-behaved appearance when she left, and her big wings were put away, and she nodded at grandma, and called softly: "Goose, goose." ”

"Why did you get out?

"Goose goose!"

Grandma patted it on the head, but the big white goose didn't dare to resist, so she let grandma hold it by the neck and lock it back in the backyard.

Sika quietly poked his head out of the doorway and looked around, and the stupid goose was indeed sanctioned, so it came to Qiqi's feet to eat it.

Qiqi gave it a piece of duck gizzard, the duck gizzard is very chewy, and the marinade flavor penetrates into the meat, which is particularly delicious.

Qiqi poked Sika's head and threatened: "If you provoke the goose again, I will eat you!"

Sika didn't believe it, I'm so cute, I'm a big goose.

When dinner was ready, it was already seven o'clock, nine dishes and one soup, especially hearty, the family was all there, Li Zhongqi moved out of the utility room The big round table, Qiqi helped serve the dishes, Yang Yun was seven months pregnant, everyone didn't let her do heavy work, she helped pour drinks.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner, everyone ate very lively and happy, and Sika and Millie also stayed at Qiqi's feet, eating a few bites of food from time to time.

It's a very homely conversation, the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as you sit together for dinner, it is the most important meaning of this festival.

After dinner, Qiqi began to light the lanterns, and she carefully put two red candles into the lanterns made by her grandmother, which were two lanterns with the word 'Fu' written on them, hanging at the door.

The paper is ordinary red paper, you must be careful, otherwise it will be easy to burn, if you use that kind of lamp paper to make lanterns, you are not afraid of being burned, the lamp paper is soaked in a kind of oil, it will not cause an open flame.

After the candles are lit, the two lanterns are very beautiful.

"Brother Zhong Qi, help me hang the lantern. "Qiqi went to call Li Zhongqi.

Li Zhongqi moved a stool to hang the lantern and looked at the words on the lantern curiously.

"I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together. Haha, you wrote this?"

"yes, isn't it super pretty!"

"Well, it's ugly and chic. ”

After the lanterns were hung up, Qiqi lit three more lanterns, and beckoned Ning Yue and Ning Xue to go outside together.

Now the village is quite beautifully built, and there is a cement floor to build the 'Songze Village Cultural Square', which is actually a community public fitness area, with several fitness equipment on this side and a few lights.

Many children here are playing with lanterns, and Qiqi went over to be the king of children.

Sika and Millie didn't go out, and although Millie wanted to go out and play with the lantern, Qiqi was afraid that it would get lost, so she let Millie stay at home.

At eight o'clock, my grandmother began to worship God.

Li Zhongqi helped to move the table out, and according to his grandmother's instructions, he put on the fruit bowl, wine glass, moon cakes, chickens, incense and other things, and the direction of worship was facing the east, making blessings and prayers.

At this time, the moon was just rising, and appeared from behind the shadows of the trees and houses, and it was as beautiful as a smooth disk.

This is the ritual of worshipping the moonlight.

Sika watched her grandmother worship the moon on the stone table in the courtyard.

Maybe after this generation is gone, this kind of ritual will never be recovered......
