After noon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of each hospital went out collectively to bring out all the chickens, ducks and fish that had been slaughtered two days ago and piled them into the big stove.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also has a lot of exquisiteness, Chen Qing in the past years at the uncle's house also made two meat dishes, four hot stir-frying, two cold basins, a plate of dim sum plus a grilled fish, taking the meaning of perfection.

Marrying into the Liang family this year is an eye-opener, and there is so much attention to this reunion dinner. Not only should there be a big dish, a cold pot, a hot stir-fry, a dim sum, and a hot pot, a dish of fish that is warped every year.

The hot pot is boiling, steaming, warm and sultry, indicating that it is prosperous. "Fish" and "Yu" are homophonic, which is a symbol of "auspicious celebration" and radish is commonly known as cabbage, wishing good luck. Lobster, fried fish and other fried foods, wishing the family prosperity like "cooking oil on fire".

It took two hours to make 18 hot dishes, 6 cold dishes, and 4 river fresh, and the charcoal pot under the copper hot pot was burning vigorously, and the remaining pastries and raw food were put aside for use at any time.

As soon as he was ready, Chen Qing wiped a handful of sticky sweat, said hello to Zhou, and handed Liang Zijun a look home. Liang Zijun grinned, and finally took out the new set of clothes for him to wear at night.

As soon as he got home, Chen Qing took the lead in taking out a cloth bag from the firewood room and handed it to Liang Zijun, and then went into the bedroom of the main room and took a set of brocade shirts into the bathhouse to rinse. Liang Zijun didn't wait for Chen Qing to leave, he opened the cloth bag with his hands and feet, and smiled with his teeth and eyes while carrying the new clothes that were said to be beautiful.

"It's really as good as the second sister-in-law said" Liang Zijun carefully groped for the same color Yunli embroidery, so embroidered is good-looking, but it takes too much eyes, Chen Qing can embroider such a new dress for him, I am afraid that he also has himself in his heart.

Liang Zijun changed into a whole new clothes, and Midea Lian turned around twice in front of Chen Qing's eyes, "How about it?

Chen Qing's eyes lit up, the moon-white shirt with cloud patterns and square chess patterns really lined Liang Zijun's temperament, the whole set of clothes reflected each other, and his feet were spinning in the clouds, as if he was about to fly, and he was extremely handsome.

"With this figure, you can wear a different style with a sack," Liang Zijun threw a wink at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing's black face, this person is really sassy, he should wear that set of pheasants to go out and show his eyes. Chen Qing originally wanted to embroider a peacock and let Liang Zijun carry it, but it was an official uniform pattern, and the people were not allowed to embroider, so Chen Qing had to embroider a pheasant to bury Liang Zijun, but after embroidering the picture, it felt more appropriate.

Years ago, he was busy with various matters, and he only had a little free time every day, so he didn't finish embroidering the pheasant Douyan, but let him wear this one first.

Chen Qing glanced at him fiercely, beckoned him to go, Liang Zijun stepped forward to hold him, shook the streamer in his hand in front of Chen Qing's eyes, and quickly tied it for him, and then threw off his sleeves and walked out first.

"Cut~" Chen Qing was too lazy to bother with him, even if he walked in front, he was not a master, so he was stinky in front.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, sumptuous New Year's dishes are placed on a table, layered on top of each other, and families gather around the table to have a reunion dinner.

People have the habit of keeping the year on Chinese New Year's Eve, commonly known as "staying up for the year". The New Year's Eve meal begins with eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the door needs to be closed, and it is taboo to be disturbed by outsiders, if someone comes to visit the door, it is called "stepping on the New Year's dinner", which will make the whole family uneasy. This Chinese New Year's Eve meal should be eaten slowly, from the time of the lamp to the table, until late at night.

After the reunion dinner, the younger generation should pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and the elders should distribute the New Year's money received in advance to the younger generations, and it is said that the New Year's money can suppress the evil spirit.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the New Year's Eve money, a large family lit oil lamps, sat around the fireside and chatted, waiting for the moment to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. The old people keep the year as "say goodbye to the old year", which means cherishing time, and the young people keep the year to prolong the life of their parents.

Liang Baida, Liang Baisong and his wife all received the "New Year's money" from the younger generation, and happily distributed it to the two girls and Liang Zijun, and even the new Chen Qing received one. As the head of the Liang family, Liang Baida said a few auspicious words with a smile, while retelling the taboos and legends about the New Year for the juniors.

This kind of folk tale, which has been passed down from generation to generation, has been passed down to this day precisely because it is retold by the older generation every year. Because of the strict demeanor of the elders, the juniors will listen attentively even if they have heard it several times to avoid colliding with the elders and ghosts.

Chen Qing has heard many legends about "Xi" since he was a child, but he can also find some differences in them. Because each family has passed on the oral tradition, there are many differences in the details, but the results are roughly the same and will not deviate too much.

Each storyteller has a different personality, and so does the interesting process of the story. Liang Baida has a bit of storytelling ability, and he tells "Qilang Shooting the Night" fascinatingly, with ups and downs, Chen Qing listened with his chin in his hand, and he didn't even pay attention to the thief who Liang Zijun sneaked up on.

Liang Zijun relied on the New Year's Festival, wantonly playing tricks, even if his behavior was inappropriate, he would be at most two white eyes, and no elder would blame the younger generation at this time.

On the morning of the Spring Festival, the door is opened, and the firecrackers are released first, which is called "opening the door to the firecrackers", and the sound of the firecrackers is beeping to remove the old and welcome the new. After the sound of firecrackers, the broken red is all over the ground, bright as a cloud brocade, called "full of red". At this time, the streets were full of vigor and joy.

On the first day of the new year, people put on new clothes, dress up neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, greet each other, and wish the New Year a good fortune.

There are various ways to pay New Year's greetings, some are led by the same patriarch to lead a number of people to go door to door to pay New Year's greetings, some invite several people to visit each other, and some people get together to congratulate each other, which is called "group worship".

On the first day of junior high school, Liang Zixian took the three brothers to the village chief's house to pay New Year's greetings. Because the Liang family is a landlord and the relatives in the same village have more five blessings, there are not many people who come to visit the New Year, and the brothers are only symbolically sitting in the homes of several elders surnamed Liang who are high in the same village, and even if they are willing, the people of Liangjia Village do not dare to bear it.

The first day of junior high school requires a vegetarian diet. The people use the sunny weather in the first few days of the new year to predict this year's harvest. The first day is the day of the chicken, the second day of the dog, the third day of the pig, the fourth day of the sheep, the fifth day of the ox, the sixth day of the horse, the seventh day of the man, and the eighth day of the grain. If the day is fine, the things of the owner will multiply, and if the day is cloudy, the things of the owner will not prosper.

The first day of the first gathering of wealth, and the birthday of the broom, this day can not use the broom, otherwise it will sweep away the luck, ruin, and the "broom star" to attract, causing bad luck, if you have to sweep, you need to sweep from the outside to the inside. On this day, you can't throw water and garbage outside, for fear of ruining your money.

The second day of the first lunar month is the Aunt's Day, the aunts have to go to the father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, stay for dinner at noon, the aunt and daughter must return to their home before dinner, if the road is far away, you can also stay and finish dinner.

Shao Fengzhi and Li Hongmei, together with their husband and daughter, hurriedly got into the car after eating early in the morning, and carried a lot of New Year's gifts with large bags and small wraps.

Brother Yang got up late, and after getting up, he picked up things in a panic. Leung Tsz-yin had already carried all the gifts into the car while he was asleep, and he could get in the car and hurry as soon as he woke up. Liang Zixian laughed at him, but also intimately urged people to hurry up and eat.

Seeing this, Chen Qing felt the same way, and couldn't help but think of his sister-in-law. I wanted to visit Chen Bi a year ago, but because of the embroidery delay, if we visit each other on the fifth day of the new year, the two are both brides, and Chen Qing is the elder brother, even if it is a New Year's greeting, Chen Bi should come to the door.

Chen Qing didn't want Chen Bi to come to the door because he was afraid that Liang Zijun would have any crooked intentions, although the wood was already in the boat and they were married, it was difficult to guarantee that Liang Zijun would not hold a grudge and deliberately make things difficult. So Chen Qing specially wrote a letter to ask him to wait for fifteen years before going to Wanliutun to see her.

As soon as these three families left, they left a deserted courtyard. There were only two old couples and a young couple left in the lively compound looking at each other silently, Liang Zijun coughed secretly, and simply pulled his sleeves to beckon everyone to play cards. Chen Qing handed the tea and water to the side, and occasionally picked up some home-fried mountain goods for a few people as snacks.

In less than an hour, Liang Zitong returned home with her husband to pay New Year's greetings, and her uncle came to the door to be lively, and when Liang Miao and the two arrived home, Liang Baida and his wife were even more happy, and the laughter and laughter at the dinner table were so lively.

Lunch was made by Chen Qing and her two aunts, and the two daughters who went back to their parents' house were able to steal back their laziness and come back to eat ready-made.

The third day of the junior high school is a courtesy visit to relatives and friends, and the juniors only need to bow their hands, if they are older than themselves, they should still take the initiative to bow down, and the host should step down from the seat to make a form of support, and even say that they are not courteous to show humility. In this case, it is generally not suitable to sit for a long time, and you have to say goodbye after greeting two polite words. After the master has been worshipped, he should return to worship on a certain day.

On the third day of the new year, the door is burned to show that the year is over, and he is about to start making a living. Liang Zijun ran to the county town on the third day of junior high school, discussed the opening of the shop, and hurriedly brought gifts to Mr. New Year's greetings. Liao Fanzhi and other classmates all gathered in the academy at this moment, saving everyone's effort and directly gathering together for worship.

From the first day to the fourth day of the new year, it is the day of the New Year's carnival, and it is not until the fifth day of the new year that the normal life resumes. The fifth day of the first month is also called "breaking five", and many taboos can be broken on this day. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, dumplings are eaten, and women are no longer taboo and begin to visit each other to pay New Year's greetings. The newlywed woman returns to Ning on this day. The custom of breaking the five is mainly to send the "poor god", welcome the god of wealth, and open a business.

Liang Zijun took the incense back to the God of Wealth after the fifth watch, and the rest asked the shopkeeper to do it according to the rules.

The God of Wealth are: Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, Tao Zhu Gong, who is loyal and faithful, Guan Gong, who is loyal and faithful, who is partial to the God of Wealth, and the quasi-God of Wealth, who sprinkles money to help the poor. The five-way god is commonly known as the God of Wealth, and the five-way refers to the five directions of the east, west, north, south, and middle, which means that when you go out, you can get good luck and make a fortune with the blessing of the five road gods.

Every year, the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, and before dawn, you can hear bursts of firecrackers. The sooner you grab the road head (pick up the God of Wealth), the better, prepare fruits, cakes, pig's heads and other sacrificial supplies, and invite the God of Wealth to drink. At that time, the master holds the incense candle, respectively to the southeast and northwest of the five sides of the God of Wealth Hall to receive the God of Wealth, after the five God of Wealth are connected, hang up the God of Wealth paper horse, light the incense candle, bow and worship, worship, the God of Wealth paper horse incineration.

Liang Zijun will do a good job of opening, as soon as the city gate is opened, he will rush home, this year is married, the bride is in a hurry to return to her parents' house on the fifth day of the new year, Liang Zijun is afraid of delaying things, and he rushed to the north gate as soon as he burned the paper horse.
