On the first day of the Lunar New Year, worship the New Year.

Yang Shubao followed his father around the village, and his grandfather is now a big man, so he can stay at home and wait for others to come to pay New Year's greetings.

Old man Yang prepared cigarettes, all the cigarettes brought by Yang Shubao from abroad were not very easy to smoke, mainly because the cigarettes from the duty-free shops in South Africa were very cheap, and the three of them brought back enough amounts.

It's not a good smoke either.

But Mr. Yang himself is usually reluctant to smoke, except for one for each of his three brothers yesterday, and the rest he stayed on the first day of the New Year to entertain the younger generations who came to pay New Year's greetings.

There are quite a lot of New Year's greetings at Yang Shubao's house, and by the way, I will take a look at the new daughter-in-law.

After a turn in the tunzi, Yang Shubao walked his relatives again, and met the little friends in the village on the way, and after they met, they stopped and chatted at most, asked about the current situation, complimented each other, and then continued to go their separate ways.

They have embarked on their own path in life and are drifting apart.

Yang Shubao thought that if he immigrated to South Africa directly after the New Year and never came back, then it is estimated that this would be the last time he and his friends met.

They used to have such a good relationship, when they were children, they used to be dogs to pull and climb plows to have fun, they went to the river to bathe and fish, they went to the mountains to pick pine nuts and chestnuts, and they pounded mouse holes and dug rabbit nests together, but now they are finally born.

When he arrived at Big Eye's house, his best buddy in the tun, Little Big Eye, also went out to pay New Year's greetings, and he saw Little Big Eye's son, this child is the same as Big Eye, and he also has thick eyebrows and big eyes that are very attractive.

He didn't make money a few years ago, so after seeing it, he praised a few words, and now that he made money, he touched the child's head and handed him a red envelope: "The little thing grows so fast, it's so big, oops, the years are not forgiving." ”

His aunt asked with a smile: "Yes, grow up fast, last year it was more than ten centimeters, you should hurry up, hurry up and get married and have children." ”

As she spoke, she took out the red envelope from the child's hand and returned it to Yang Shubao.

The child already knew that money was a good thing, and he pinched it and didn't want to give it away: "I want to keep it and marry my daughter-in-law." ”

The adults in the room laughed, and Yang Shubao stuffed the red envelope into his small down jacket and said, "Protect your daughter-in-law, don't let people snatch it away." ”

This is an episode during the New Year's greetings, the relationship between the people in Tunzi is close, they are all old neighbors and old relatives, and the feelings are deep, and they always have to sit together and drink two bowls of tea during the New Year's greetings, so it is almost noon when they turn around.

After going home after the New Year, Yang Shubao felt that the year was over.

Although there are still many things after the second and third days of the junior high school, he doesn't feel anything anymore, for him the year is a few days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, at most plus the first year of the new year, as long as this period is over, the year will be over.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the county organized a New Year's party, one is to supplement the fresh fruits and vegetables for the New Year, and the other is to build a big stage, invite the troupe and various folk singers to hold activities.

Uncle Yang took Nicole and the old man to participate, the county will clean up a main road every year to make a venue, all kinds of small stalls and vendors on both sides of the road, used to sell snacks and food and toys that children like, now add electrical appliances and cosmetics, many companies here to carry out promotions.

Now the government focuses on inheriting traditional handicrafts, so the relevant artists are popular, and there is a stretch of time that is full of craftsmen.

As soon as they came to the government, they would give 500 to 2,000 yuan for carriage and horses, which was not a small amount, so the craftsmen were very keen to participate in the New Year's party, even if they couldn't sell much to make money.

The county government is a clever trick, handicrafts are still quite rare in modern life, many children who usually live in the city are returned to their hometowns for the New Year, they have not seen these crafts, they feel novel, and they are willing to spend money on it.

Then the rise of micro-video, self-media and live broadcast industry has also brought living space to traditional handicrafts, there are many young people on the street, they are holding mobile phones on the stalls, some craftsmen also have accounts, Yang Shubao walked all the way, what he heard was that they were greeting fans:

"Everyone, Tiezi is optimistic, this is the most famous wood-board New Year painting in our Northeast, do you want it? Today's top 100 fans are on the list, one New Year's painting for one person!"

"Hello everyone, today I will take you to see the real sugar sculpture, the name of this sugar sculpture is Zhao Zilong seven in and seven out. Hey, master, why are you blowing a man and a woman? Isn't it Zhao Zilong's seven in and seven out? It should be him and Cao Cao's army, right?"

"Who told you that seven in and seven out have to be wars?"

Yang Shubao laughed when she heard it, Nicole couldn't understand the meat words in it, and she didn't listen to it, her attention was on these beautiful handicrafts.

The price of small things is more expensive than usual, but the overall price is still cheap, Nicole buys what she likes, paper horses, iron paintings, easter eggs, feather paintings, wheat straw paintings, color paintings, lacquer paintings, etc.

The old man likes carvings, and there are also wax sculptures, wax sculptures, ou sculptures, stone carvings, wood carvings, brick carvings, bamboo carvings, shell carvings, bone carvings, horn carvings, ivory carvings, as well as more difficult egg carvings, peel carvings, and fruit core carvings.

The grandfather and grandson bought a bunch of things in high spirits, and finally when they arrived at a relatively cold stall, Yang Shubao stopped and said to Nicole: "Do you remember when I was climbing the mountain that day, I said that it was snowing and giving you a fun gift? ”

There are many slides on the stall, which are similar to those in the laboratory, and there are large snowflakes in them.

Nicole squatted down to look at them one by one, the stall owner was a middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Snowflake specimens, very cheap, buy a few and put them in the refrigerator for preservation, you can see them for a year." ”

There was a small microscope in the stall, and Yang Shubao took one and put the slide on it for Nicole to see, and said, "There are many kinds of snowflakes here, you can choose a set, so that you can have the winter in our hometown." ”

Nicole asked curiously, "Are there any different types of snowflakes?"

Yang Shubao motioned for her to look: "Of course, the points are much older, snowflake face, snowflake ingenuity, snowflake refining, snowflake dark beer, snowflake crystal zun, snowflake golden wheat, snowflake brave to the end of the world, snowflake ayr, snowflake pure life, how many kinds of can you count?"

Nicole was stunned for a moment, and the old man smacked his lips and said, "The snowflake refining is okay, the snowflake is too light." ”

The stall owner handed Yang Shubao a cigarette: "This old man and this beautiful girl are not from North Russia?"

Locals of their age had learned Russian as children, and the stall owners immediately knew that it was not Russian.

Yang Shubao waved his hand and refused, saying, "South African." ”

There are indeed many types of snowflakes, such as sharp angle fan snowflakes, obtuse angle fan snowflakes, complex needle-shaped snowflakes, multi-layered snowflakes, large and wide branch snowflakes, complex branch snowflakes, etc., they look different and are easy to distinguish under the microscope.

Yang Shubao bought her several sets and went back to give them away.

Nicole was worried: "We can't take it back in the refrigerator, can we? ”

Yang Shubao smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I have a way." ”

He was actually pretending that these snowflakes would not melt away, they were not snow, but a three-dimensional model fixed with an ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, how could it be possible to melt away.
