Not long after I fell asleep, not long after midnight, firecrackers rang out outside. Similar to the Chinese New Year later, when people grabbed the first incense, and here, everyone grabbed the first firecracker.

For the New Year here, they all eat New Year's dinner in the morning, and before eating New Year's dinner, when worshipping the ancestors, set off a string of firecrackers.

At this time, everyone gets up very early in the morning of the thirtieth, and basically the day is not dawn after eating, and those who set off firecrackers to eat the New Year's dinner after dawn will be called lazy by everyone.

Later, more than ten or twenty years later, these habits are becoming more and more unsophisticated, and it is becoming more and more rare to eat New Year's dinner in the middle of the night, and occasionally there are families who set off firecrackers to eat New Year's dinner in the middle of the night, and most of them will laugh, most people are about the same as usual, a little earlier, and get up at five or six o'clock.

didn't sleep for a few hours, and at five o'clock, Feng Yiping was woken up by his mother, and when he opened his eyes, it was still dark outside.

But in the same early morning, today seems to be significantly different. Maybe it was the constant sound of firecrackers and the "beep" sound of the dishes in the kitchen pot cooking, which filled the air with the smell of the New Year, which made Feng Yiping a little intoxicated for a while, and really felt a little drunk.

It was very cold, Feng Yiping shivered, quickly got dressed, opened the kitchen, and the smell of heat came to his face. Although there was a quarrel last night, there is no trace of it today, Feng Zhenchang is burning the fire behind the stove, Mei Qiuping is stir-frying, the two of them are talking and laughing quietly, very harmonious and happy.

As soon as Feng Yiping washed his face, the Feng family's house next door was setting off firecrackers, and after setting off for a long time, Feng Zhenchang added a piece of firewood to the stove, "At least eight thousand rings." ”

Mei Qiuping said, "Even if there is, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of Wei Dongjia." ”

Firecrackers during the New Year, not only are they better than the morning and evening, but also the length of time they are released, of course, the longer the time, the better the conditions at home, the better the life, that is, the richer they are. The two next door, Feng Jiasheng and Feng Weidong, are in good condition, and they have been comparing over the years.

After the dishes were fried, Feng Zhenchang was ready to worship the ancestors.

He turned out the lights in the hall and lit candles. Set up the table directly facing the door, Feng Yiping helped bring a few dishes to the table, and there were no coriander and other seasonings in the dishes at this time. Then Feng Zhenchang put the best chairs in the house neatly on the table, went to the chopstick cage to pick the most neat chopsticks to put them, and then picked a wine cup without a gap in the mouth of the cup and placed it, and poured the wine.

While pouring wine, he whispered reverently, then picked up the yellow paper printed with copper coins, and burned it in the brazier next to the table, and then he called Feng Yiping in the kitchen to come out.

After Feng Yiping came out, he walked to the table and knelt down, kowtowed respectfully three times, and heard Feng Zhenchang muttering quietly beside him, "Bless him with peace and security next year." ”

After beckoning to finish burning the yellow paper, the father and son opened the door and went to set off firecrackers together. Come in again, move the stool a few times, move the chopsticks, pour all the wine in the cup to the ground, and the ceremony is over, and finally the food is collected.

These few rings, Feng Yiping was willing.

Feng Yiping doesn't know if other places do the same thing, there should be some in China, maybe the form is different.

He remembers an argument with a colleague who scoffed at the behavior as typical superstition. Feng Yiping believes that mourning the ancestors during the New Year, not forgetting their nurturing and upbringing, and also expecting the ancestors to bless the safety of the coming year, which is a kind of inheritance for thousands of years and an integral part of our culture, which is completely incompatible with superstition.

He finally asked his colleague who had always admired European and American culture, "According to what you said, it is also a typical superstition for Europeans and Americans to go to church to celebrate Mass on Christmas Eve. Chongyang's colleague was speechless at the time.

Take the recovered dishes to the kitchen, put them in a pot and heat them, add onions, garlic and chili powder MSG to taste, and the New Year's dinner is ready.

Feng Zhenchang drank alcohol, Feng Yiping and his mother drank Coke, this was the first time the family bought this kind of foreign soda, and Mei Qiuping drank it with relish. The two of them kept putting vegetables in Feng Yiping's bowl, but they couldn't put it down, so he had to block the bowl and say, "You eat by yourself, I know the clip." ”

Feng Zhenchang took a sip of wine and sandwiched a chopstick beef, "It's Yuxuan, who came back originally, didn't come back." ”

Mei Qiuping also said when she heard this, "She is alone outside for the New Year, and I don't know how." ”

Later, this only sister hurt Feng Yiping's heart fiercely, and now although these things have not happened, he always has a pimple in his heart. He comforted and said, "Didn't the girl who was with her in the city say that the godmother she recognized in the city forced her to stay in the city for the New Year?"

Mei Qiuping said, "I know that the conditions in the city are definitely better than in the countryside, but the Chinese New Year is always better at home, and besides, the family bought so many things this year." ”

Feng Zhenchang also said, "No matter how good people are, how can they compare to their families." ”

Feng Yiping thought that his sister didn't necessarily think so, and still said, "Do things well now, and strive to settle down in the provincial capital in the future, how can you be worse than others, right?" ”

Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping laughed when they heard this, "Come, let's take a sip, it's still ambitious, yes, let's do it well, settle down in the provincial capital in the future, and you will also marry a daughter-in-law from the provincial capital." ”

Feng Yiping also laughed and drank a large bottle of Coke, and said in his heart that his daughter-in-law would definitely find the county seat, or the county next door.

Just eating and drinking, no one ate a big pot of cooked rice, and when the family put down the chopsticks, it was already dawn.

It actually snowed at the right time, and Feng Zhenchang said, "It seems that next year will be a good year." ”

There is nothing serious to do today, but in previous years, at noon, there would be creditors coming to the door, and this year there is finally no more.

Feng Zhenchang has one more thing, he is going to write Spring Festival couplets today. The landlord is an ingredient, leaving him little legacy, he went to junior high school, and a beautiful brush is a piece. Although there are many people who can read and write, Feng Zhenchang is the only one who can write well with a brush.

As in previous years, in addition to the family, there are several other families today who asked him to write Spring Festival couplets.

Feng Yiping was called to help him cut the paper, and after cutting, he had to fold it and fold it out seven grids. Of course, he doesn't know how to make couplets, but he has a collection of couplets.

The people who came to get the Spring Festival couplets were full of polite words, saying that he wrote well, better than buying them on the street, although he knew that this was polite words, Feng Yiping found that Feng Zhenchang was still very happy to hear these words. Also, it is rare for people of their age to be able to read and write, and there are really not many people who can write so well with a brush, which is also where he can be proud.

The stomach was full of oil and water, and the snacks and fruits in his mouth never stopped, and he simply ate some at noon, and Feng Yiping only ate most of the bowl of rice in the rare way. Putting down the bowl and looking for melon seeds again, he himself felt funny, and couldn't help but think of a sentence that his son said later, which is very appropriate now, "I'm not hungry, I'm hungry." ”

The snow is not heavy, and it has not been stored on the ground for the time being, except for some children who are even crazier when they see the snow, and the adults are all at home. Eat and drink enough, sit by the fire, warm, and want to doze off after a while, but during the New Year, it is more exquisite, and it is not auspicious to sleep in the daytime, Feng Yiping simply took out his winter vacation homework and tried to finish the rest in the afternoon.

In the evening, it is a reunion dinner, and firecrackers should be set off before eating, and the gate should be bolted so as not to be disturbed. The New Year's dinner must eat pig's feet, as usual, it is still a big table of dishes, in fact, after eating a bowl of pig's feet, it is already full.

In the evening, CCTV had a Spring Festival Gala, Feng Hongbing invited Feng Yiping to his house to watch, Feng Yiping thought that on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he should still stay at home as a family, so he said that he wanted to go to bed early at night, and watch the broadcast again tomorrow when he went to his house to pay New Year's greetings.

Feng Zhenchang moved the firewood in the fire pit to make it burn more vigorously, and said, "I should buy a TV this year." ”

Mei Qiuping didn't say anything yet, Feng Yiping rushed to say, "We are usually not at home next year, and we will be idle when we buy it, there is no need, and the TV is getting better and better every year, and it is getting cheaper every year, and we will buy a good one next year." ”

Just this year, the country has fully liberalized the price of TVs, but a 14-inch black-and-white TV, it will cost thousands, and 17-inch color TVs will be more than 2,000, Feng Yiping really thinks that buying a TV at this time is too cost-effective.

Mei Qiuping did not object this time, "I still have to buy a TV, so as not to always go to other people's houses to watch TV." "No way, to Feng Yiping, Mei Qiuping has always been generous.

Taking advantage of the fact that his parents were in a good mood, Feng Yiping thought about it and proposed that he wanted to rent a house near the school next year, and he could cook by himself. In addition, if he lives outside, he can make full use of the time at night, whether it is studying or writing, Feng Yiping specifically pointed out that if he lives outside, he can write more articles.

This year, I earned more than 4,000 yuan, and this reason, especially for Mei Qiuping, is quite powerful.

In fact, the main reason is that it is really difficult for him to get used to the current dormitory, and he really can't accept it when he thinks that he will stay there for at least two and a half years.

Feng Zhenchang said, "Now we can finally make some money in a year, unlike before, your main task is to study hard, don't pull down your studies in order to earn some manuscript fees." ”

Feng Yiping said, "What I know must be based on learning. ”

Mei Qiuping said, "What Yiping said is the same, you see that he has been so thin, and it is not good to pickle vegetables and eat all day long at school." ”

Feng Zhenchang said, "Then if you talk to the enlightened family, their house is opposite the school, which is very convenient." ”

Feng Yiping objected first, "It's convenient to be at my uncle's house, but it's okay to go for a meal once in a while, and the relationship between our two families is not so close, and we are not very familiar with each other, so I am afraid that it will be bad if it is awkward." Besides, Lin Hui is a big girl, I always go to his house, and other classmates will gossip. ”

In fact, Feng Yiping was mainly worried, if he was to let him eat at Lin Hui's house or live at school, then his wishful thinking would not be in vain.

"Then why don't you buy a bicycle and go to Meijiawan every day. Feng Zhenchang said.

"It takes an hour to go back and forth, and not only does it not save time, but it also spends more. Feng Yiping said.

Mei Qiuping glanced at him and said, "Then let's go to the township to find it, the school is close to the township, and it won't take ten minutes to ride." ”

When it was the Chinese New Year, my son was so good this year, and the two adults couldn't object for a while, Feng Zhenchang thought for a while and said, "Okay, but it's definitely too late this semester, let's wait for the summer vacation, and we will have some money in our hands by then." ”

Feng Yiping said, "Okay, but I don't need you to pay this money, I should be able to earn it." ”

Mei Qiuping also said, "Yiping, this year, in order to help your family, you write articles to earn manuscript fees, you know that you are considerate of your parents, and your mother knows that manuscript fees are not easy to earn, now that your father and I can make some money, you don't need to work hard to write articles to make money, you still have to study hard, read books well, is your top priority now." ”

Feng Yiping could only explain again, "I know the importance of it, and now I write something, it really won't delay my study." ”

Feng Zhenchang said, "That's good, we know that you are sensible and know the severity, we have repeatedly told you to study hard, you just keep it in mind." Well, during the summer vacation, we go to the countryside to look for a house and buy a bicycle, okay. ”

"Okay," Feng Yiping was very happy and finally agreed! What he was most worried about was that his parents were not worried that he was living outside alone, and he had prepared several sets of rhetoric, but he didn't expect them to mention it.

In fact, he didn't know that since Feng Yiping pointed out a way to his parents and earned another three or four thousand yuan, his parents had already regarded him as an adult. Children in rural areas mature early, and generally in elementary school, they learn everything they can do at home, and it is not a problem to live alone. If it's a girl, the parents may still be worried, what will be the problem with a half-sized child? Besides, Feng Zhenchang and they have thought about it, even if Feng Yiping lives outside, they will definitely let Mei Jianzhong and them go to see it often.

"One night is two years old, and five watches are divided into two years", according to the old rules, the night is to keep the New Year all night, Feng Yiping remembers, when his grandfather was still there, which one was really done at home. But no one can do it now.

Sitting around the fire, I said some short words from my parents, and by 11 o'clock, I couldn't stay up, so I went back to my room to sleep.
