Mao Lin said carefully, if you can still see your brother, you can accompany your brother to have a bowl of bar. I'm scared, and no one wants to come.

Labor is not clear. Seeing Mao Lin's bleak words and lonely expression, he couldn't guess the reason, and he couldn't brush off his sincerity. Labor responded happily, okay, I will accompany my brother to drink another bowl. I'm also interested in saving a little bit of alcohol.

Soon, the dishes were served on the table, and the wine was warm. Maolin suddenly had a good mood, and it was mixed with inexplicable gratitude. He was worried that he would really drink too much wine, so he didn't dare to persuade him hard. Instead, he drank it in a big gulp, and his excitement was beyond words.

The two of them were drinking and chatting so happily, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the yard. It was Ye'er who held her slightly convex belly, led the gold leaf, and led a large group of babies such as Zhong'er and Xingzi to come to pay New Year's greetings. Ye'er is already pregnant, and it is estimated that she will give birth in three or four months. Mao Lin's eyes were moist when they were neutral, and they were busy entertaining and taking care of them. Subsequently, it was the autumn equinox that led a group of Zhenshu's babies to come to pay New Year's greetings.

The autumn equinox saw that labor was drinking with Maolin, and he knew that he couldn't leave. He volunteered to stay and drink with the two of them. He told the cubs who came with him to go out and play on their own.

Ye'er brought the stick baby and the grass, and then combined the two gangs of cubs into a huge New Year's greeting team, and went to other places to pay New Year's greetings.

With these people's shuttle, shouting and laughing, Mao Lin and his family were a little relieved. In this way, the family can spend a light and tasteless New Year.

On the first day of the new year, the local New Year's greetings, the second and third days of the new year go to visit relatives and friends, and the fourth to sixth days of the new year take turns to make the east table. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the shed of heaven and earth should be demolished, which means that the New Year has passed, and the ceremony of setting up a banquet for the gods is over. After that, labor and the autumnal equinox hurried back to the troops. At this time, the adults and babies in the village began to be busy making lanterns for lighting on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, predicting the year, and dispelling disasters and evil spirits.

The adults would use wheat, corn, millet, peas, sweet potatoes and other fine rice and coarse grains to be crushed and milled on the mills at the head of the village or on their own mills to make all kinds of fine flour and fine flour. Then mix the dough and knead it into a variety of small lampstands. Put these on the stage in a pot, steam them until they are medium-cooked, and then insert a small wooden stick wrapped in cotton in the lamp, and you can make wheat lamps, corn lamps, millet lamps, pea lamps, sweet potato lamps, and so on. There are lazy people, and they don't want to bother to make these lamps that represent the main food crops. Those who are diligent will steam the various crops they intend to cultivate this year into seven, eight, or even a dozen lanterns.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, each family poured peanut oil into the steamed lamps and set them on fire outside the courtyard. Burn until the oil runs out, and then bring it into the house to see the burnt signs in the flour lamp. If the paste marks in the lamp show granular and full bubbles, it means that the crop represented by the flour lamp will have a good harvest this year. If there is a scorched patch in the lamp and there are no raised mush bubbles, it indicates that this year's crop has not been harvested and it is not suitable for cultivation. These are used to foreshadow the year.

On the fifteenth day, adults will also use radishes or sweet potatoes to make some small evil spirit-repelling lamps. Some peanut oil was also poured in, lit it, and sent to dangerous places frequented by the cubs, such as by the well platform, by the ditch river, at the pond dam, and at the foot of the mountain. Meaning, to bring light to these potentially dangerous places and to illuminate the road surface. Let the gods bless them and take care of their cubs from earth, water, wood, fire, and stones.
