In addition to the whooper swans and pit courtyards that migrate every winter, there is also the Sanmen City Water Conservancy Hub, which is known as the first dam of the Yellow River, the Sanmen City Yellow River Dam, where you can also see the "mainstay" that has been used for thousands of years to praise people, as well as Zhanggong Island, alchemy furnace and interceptor stone, etc. There are Yellow River Park, Swan Lake Urban Wetland Park and Ganshan National Forest Park around the city, and there are Yuxi Grand Canyon Scenic Area, Danxia Canyon Scenic Area, Niangniang Mountain Scenic Area, Shuanglong Cave Scenic Area in the distance. Yawu Mountain Scenic Area and Yuhuang Mountain Forest Park and other dozens of tourist attractions, if you really want to play these places again, you can say one day, ten days and half a month are not necessarily enough, so Zhang Wei only took the four girls to turn around some of the surrounding scenic spots, especially the Zhang sisters also went to see the swan, and went to the Yellow River Dam, a water conservancy hub.

played until it was dark at night, Zhang Wei took his four daughters to eat outside, he really didn't want to take a few daughters back to let his mother work. When I returned home after eating, I found that the old house had been cleaned, even the roof and walls were swept, although the furniture was quite old, but it looked quite rustic.

The relatives who came to help the family went back in the afternoon, so the old house was very quiet in the night, but the lights in the house brought a kind of warmth to the people returning home in this cold night.

It's funny to say, after Zhang Wei and his party arrived home, Zhang Shilan and other women visited the circle, and Zhang Shilan immediately took a fancy to the big kang made of plates separated by the kitchen sheet.

People who have slept on the kang know that the kang is also called "soil kang" and "fire kang" in the north, and so on, it is a unique "furniture" built by the people of the north to resist the cold in winter, and the history of the kang can reach the Western Han Dynasty in the earliest period of the record, which is also considered to have a long history. All kang has a stove and a smoke mouth, the stove is used to burn wood, coal and charcoal, the smoke and heat produced by burning through the wall of the kang to heat the stone slab above the heat to generate heat, and then make the kang emit heat, so that the temperature in the room rises, and it is very warm when sleeping at night. The harmful gases produced by combustion will eventually be discharged from the smoke port of the kang through the chimney, which is very safe. In the north, the stove of the general kang is connected with the stove, so that the heat of burning coal and firewood during the meal will make the kang heat, killing two birds with one stone, so that there is no need to burn the kang alone. Zhang Wei's kang is different from other kangs, first of all, it has a large area, about four meters wide, both ends are against the wall, about two meters long, and it is not a problem to sleep four or five people side by side; secondly, Zhang Wei's kang has two stoves, and the kitchen is needless to say, and there is also a special stove in the yard, which is specially designed to burn coal 24 hours a day to maintain the warm temperature in the house. When using the stove for cooking, the stove in the courtyard is closed, and when the stove in the courtyard is used, the stove in the kitchen is closed to ensure the supply of heat.

After Zhang Wei's introduction, Zhang Shilanfei pulled her sister to sleep on this big kang together, she had never seen such a peculiar "bed", of course, she was full of interest. There are more people who have never seen the kang than the Zhang sisters, and Xu Yanan, a child who grew up in the city, has not seen it, so she has to sleep with the Zhang Shilan sisters, as for Watanabe Sakurako, a Dongying girl who sleeps on tatami all year round, needless to say, she was finally left in this room for the night, but fortunately, the kang is big enough, and the four girls are also slim, and it is not too crowded to lie down at the same time. So Zhang's mother helped add a lot of mattresses to the kang, for fear that the kang would be too hard for a few girls to adapt to. The quilts and other things are all new cups that Zhang's mother bought at the county supermarket at noon, and there are six beds, which is definitely enough to cover.

After several girls and Zhang's mother made the bed together, Zhang's father took two basins of cold water to the corner of the house, and sent a pot of hot water and a large number of cups of cold boiled water and melons and fruits to the house, telling them to eat and drink when they woke up at night.

Zhang Wei explained with a smile: "The climate in the north is dry, sleeping on the kang will be drier, some people sleep on the kang for the first time, they will definitely get up at night, because the dry can't stand it, they will be very thirsty, so we have prepared cold boiled water and hot water for you, you can drink it together when the time comes, and you can eat some fruit if you don't quench your thirst." As for the basin, it is to increase the indoor humidity and prevent it from being too dry. ”

"Ah, it won't make the skin too dry, right?" Zhang Shilan retreated a little, because women are made of water, and too dry can be very lethal to the skin.

"Don't worry, sleeping on the kang is actually good, most of the modern people are damp, sleeping on the kang helps to remove moisture, and for some women who are cold, the sleeping kang is also very effective for improving women's cold body and palace cold, you try it, it's really not good, change it tomorrow, or close part of the stove at night, the heat will not be too heavy. ”

Hearing Zhang Wei say this, Xu Yanan immediately said happily: "That's great, I'm just cold, my hands and feet are cold in winter, it's hard to warm up, and I shiver all over my body when I touch cold water, if this kang can solve this problem, it would be great." ”

The beds were all cleaned up, and Zhang's mother beckoned the girls to eat fruit and watch TV.

During the chat, Zhang's father sighed, "I still feel comfortable back in the village, the yard is big, the house is big, and I don't know why, although this old house is a little dilapidated, but living here is indescribably good." ”

Zhang's mother nodded, feeling the same way as her husband.

Zhang Wei said: "Dad, living in a bungalow is not only convenient to enter and exit, the most important thing is that it is grounded, people live in a building all the year round is not grounded, it is inevitable that they will feel uncomfortable, otherwise you see why the elderly in the city rush to the park early in the morning to exercise, just to be grounded when exercising, people will be comfortable." ”

Father Zhang thought about Zhang Wei's words, nodded and said: "Don't say it, I think it may really be this reason, no wonder I feel that people are a lot of energy as soon as I come back." ”

After watching TV for a while, Zhang's mother felt a little bored, so she asked if anyone wanted to play cards and mahjong. As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately got Zhang Shilan's response, so two tables were set up in the hall, one large and one small, the big table was used to play mahjong in all directions, and the participating players were Zhang Mu, Zhang Shilan, Xu Yanan and Watanabe Sakurako, the four female generals, Watanabe Sakurako will play mahjong, which is not surprising, because mahjong is also very marketable in Dongying, and was once regarded as an aristocratic pastime, and the earliest mahjong game machine in China was invented by Dongying people.

On the small table were Zhang's father, Zhang Wei and Zhang Shifan, so they played the landlord.

On the mahjong table, Zhang's mother killed all sides, on the one hand, the three girls were a little bit of water, on the other hand, Zhang's mother was still good in the mahjong game, at least when playing with relatives at home, they won more and lost less. At the table of fighting landlords, Zhang Shilan is the leader, Zhang's father is tepid, and Zhang Wei is disgraced. At the end of the card game, Zhang Wei had already lost all the chips in his hand, and the note on his face was pasted like a Hungarian shepherd, which caused a room of laughter, and after the end of the game, Zhang Wei learned from Zhang Shilan that Zhang Shifan was a bridge master in college, and had won the championship of the National College Bridge Competition on behalf of the school. Knowing this news, Zhang Wei's face darkened, and he felt that he was not only destroyed by Zhang Shilan in terms of EQ, but also crushed by Zhang Shifan in terms of IQ.

The day passed like this, and everyone laughed and laughed together and had a lot of fun.

In the next two days, Zhang Wei took the four girls to tour the mountains and rivers during the day, because the New Year is approaching, there are not many people in the scenic spots, and there is no crowding, queuing situation, it is very comfortable, the only fly in the ointment is that it is winter, the original scenery in the mountains can not be appreciated at all, so Zhang Shilan and Xu Yanan made an appointment with Zhang Wei early, and when it comes to summer, they have to come again to enjoy the scenery of Zhang Wei's hometown.

On the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Yatong came and made a special trip to visit Zhang Wei's family with gifts, thanking them for taking care of Xu Yanan in the past few days, and Zhang Shilan and Zhang Shifan also received a call from home that they must return to Yanjing today, because there are still two days to celebrate the New Year, even if the enlightened parents will not let their children celebrate the New Year in others without special reasons.

The Zhang sisters and the Xu sisters flew back to Yanjing on the plane that afternoon, and on the occasion of parting, Zhang Shilan specially told Zhang Wei that they should not forget to rush to Hengdian on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

After sending off the three girls, Zhang Wei's family and Sakura suddenly felt that the house was a little deserted, because the old house was a bit big, and only four people lived, which seemed somewhat empty, but everyone in the village knew that Zhang Yonggui's family went back to the old house for the New Year, and this New Year's greeting must be indispensable, and now it is about to celebrate the New Year, and it is not worth tossing again, so they decided to stay in the old house for the New Year.

Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve and firecrackers.

Reunion, feast, New Year's celebration.

This is the Spring Festival of the Chinese people, once a year, the festival that has not changed for thousands of years, this festival represents the joy of gathering together, representing the look back of the old year, the outlook of the new year, full of good expectations, representing good wishes.

There are many rules for the New Year in the countryside, which are different from place to place, such as Zhang Wei's hometown, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, only the younger generations can go to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, and they cannot go after dawn, why this rule is unknown. According to the old people in the village, the first day of the Lunar New Year is the "three yuan day", the first day of the year, the first day of spring and the first day of the first month, which is the most full of blessings, so the juniors go to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, which means that the blessings are given to the elders, so that the old people can be blessed and prospered. The elders themselves are old enough to show longevity, belonging to the blessed people, the juniors in the New Year's greetings, the elders will bless the juniors, let them take home, to ensure that the new year is blessed. Therefore, on this day, the younger generations in the village should go out early to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and when it is dawn, they must go back to their respective homes, otherwise their own fortune will be affected, so no one will go out to pay New Year's greetings after dawn.

Zhang Wei is not interested in this statement, but traditional customs are traditional customs, you can not support them, but you must respect them. So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Wei followed his parents at four o'clock in the morning to form a team with his relatives in the family, starting from the elders of the family to kowtow door to door, after worshipping the elders of the family, and then to worship the elders of the surname and the elders of the foreign surname. In the process of New Year's greetings, the elders will also stuff sugar, melon seeds and peanuts into the pockets of the New Year's greeters, and also give New Year's money to children under the age of 16, which represents the meaning of blessing.
