On February 6, 1978, Chinese New Year's Eve finally arrived.

On this day, people in the capital woke up early in the morning to find that the ceiling was illuminated by the reflection of heavy snow. It turned out that God had begun to snow since last night.

Even though the workers still have to go to work today. But for most people, it's the last day before the long holidays.

The important thing is that this is the case, and the flavor of the year is more sufficient. Coupled with the sound of scattered firecrackers, acquaintances greeted each other on the street, and all of them said happily, "It's snowing, Ruixue is a good year!"

After eating a meal of white flour steamed buns and millet porridge with the Hong family, and a breakfast of small sauce radish and pickled crispy cabbage, "Little Baizi" was in a hurry to go back.

On this day, no one is out to delay much, otherwise the old man will have to complain. Even if you are no longer a thing, you will know that you have to be a good son this day.

Hong Yanwu understood this truth and did not keep it. After that, he and his family sat in the Hongjiatang house, enjoying the snow outside the window, drinking tea and eating in front of the narcissus blooming on the table.

It was warm, the stove was blazing, and in the mist from the kettle, the people were too lazy to speak, and though they knew what to say, no one spoke.

To be honest, if it weren't for the endless colors looking out of the window, Hong Lucheng suddenly felt something, and suddenly recited the sentence "Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow", I'm afraid everyone here might be able to fall asleep.

But fortunately, with such a sentence, it also attracted the poetry of the Hong family's "Wenqu Star", and followed by the recitation of the poems of the "great leader", which can be regarded as completely breaking the sleepy atmosphere in the house.

"The snow presses the winter clouds and white flocculents, and the flowers are scarce for a while. The sky is rolling high and the cold snap is rapid, and the earth is slightly warm......"

But despite this, Hong Yanwu really couldn't stand this sourness. He immediately protested.

"Dad, second brother, where are you all here? It's too literate!

With that, he cleared his throat and began to "offer treasures".

"You listen to me, the snowflakes in Yanshan are as big as a seat, falling in the courtyard of the Hong family. The sky is white, the ground is white, and the trees are white, and I want to eat stewed chicken ...... today."

As soon as this poem came out, both the Hong family and Chen Liquan laughed. Everyone understands that Hong Yanwu is deliberately amusing everyone to have fun.

Hong Yanwen immediately praised Hong Yanwu a few sentences, saying that his poems are similar to "Heaven and earth are general, the well is black and holey, the black dog is white, and the white dog is swollen".

However, after laughing, Hong Lucheng was as wise as a torch and opened Hong Yanwu's old bottom.

"Come on, second child, you can lift him up. Is this also called a poem? The first sentence is copied from Li Bai, the third sentence is plagiarized by Zhang Dayou, and the last sentence is his own, but he has a very real temperament, and he didn't leave to eat after all. His poem is similar to Zhang Zongchang's poetry collection in the past as if it came from a master, which shows that he is also the level of a dog meat general. ”

How do you know that Hong Yanwu still has a heartbeat.

"Dad, you're biased when you say that. In fact, Zhang Zongchang is at least much more honest than those "Zi Yue". Let's just talk about his song, something flies in the sky, a pile in the east and a pile in the west. Could it be that the Jade Emperor built a golden palace and sifted lime and sifted lime. How simple and easy to understand this poem is, and quite graphic, can you say that it is not vivid? So General Dog Meat is also a little talented, and I love his poems......"

As soon as he said this, Hong Lucheng shook his head in tears and laughter, and everyone laughed again.

Chinese New Year's Eve also has things to do on Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the old society, this day should be the busiest day of the New Year.

Because people at that time paid attention to superstition, worshipping ancestors and welcoming gods was the top priority of this day, and there were countless red tapes, and it would never be finished if a large family was exhausted.

Of course, after liberation, it was different, and after entering a new society, people paid attention to breaking superstitions, and people's energy was no longer wasted on praying for the blessing of ghosts and gods, and they could focus more on celebrating the New Year happily and gathering with their families.

But after all, the old history of our country occupies a full 5,000 years, and since the beginning of history, the Chinese New Year is more complicated than any foreign race. Lively and beautiful, it is the light of the nation, and it is also a matter of course. Therefore, there are some traditional habits that cannot be completely discarded.

For example, remembering the ancestors, setting off firecrackers, lighting red lights, pasting Spring Festival couplets, sticking door gods, pasting blessing characters, cutting window flowers, making dumplings, and printing red plum blossom dots on steamed buns, these many things have gradually been transformed from complete superstition into the meaning of praying for blessings and seeking good fortune, and should still exist as a folk art in the lives of the people.

For example, after chatting in the morning, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan took a box of snacks and a few fruits from Hong's house and returned to Chen's house.

They solemnly set up an offering table under the portrait of Chen Deyuan's parents on the west wall of the hall. In keeping with tradition, five bowls are filled with millet that is flush with the mouth of the bowl, covered with red paper, and placed on them "saqima", "peach cake", "jujube paste", apples and oranges, and the five-color offerings are used to comfort the nostalgia and regret in the heart.

solemnly kowtowed, and then remembered the "feat" of the two of them biting behind all the offering peaches placed by Quanzi's mother when they were children, and Chen Deyuan's encouragement and care for the two of them like protecting their little chickens, the past scene made the corners of their eyes moist for a while......

And when they returned to Hong's house after finishing this, Hong Lucheng had already written several "Fu" characters. However, because the old man could not stand for a long time, the heavy responsibility of the Spring Festival couplets and the combined characters was handed over to Hong Yanwen to bear on his behalf.

The college student's calligraphy was practiced under the guidance of his father, and his writing did not embarrass the Hong family. So, while the radio was playing repeatedly, everyone began to post it with their own hands.

The door of the Hongjiatang house was officially inaugurated by the doorman, and the two sides of the door frame were pasted with "Peace is blessing, and harmony is spring", and the banner was "Home and everything is prosperous". In addition, the rice cylinder and the noodle bowl are pasted with "more than every year", and the cabinet door is also pasted with "daily gold fighting" and "fortune and treasure".

Next, it was time to put the word "Fu" on the doors of the rest of the houses. However, at this time, Hong Yanwu took matters into his own initiative, changed the tradition of the Hong family, and pasted the word "Fu" upside down according to the current practice, but he showed great cowardice in front of his family.

When Hong Lucheng learned about it, he not only taught him a good lesson, but also immediately ordered him to change back. The old man said, "Paste the word Fu upside down, take the homonym of 'poured' and 'to', which means 'blessing to', there are indeed such examples, but this practice is only used in two places." One is on the water tank and the earthen chest, because the contents of these two places have to be poured out of them. In order to avoid pouring out the blessings of the family, this homonym will be used to beg for good luck. The other place is on the cupboard in the house. The cabinet is also a place to store your belongings. In this case, the word 'Fu' is pasted upside down, which means that wealth and fortune will always come to the home, the house and the cupboard. ”

followed Hong Lucheng and emphasized, "But the word 'Fu' on the portal is completely different, and it has always been a positive sticker." Because the word "Fu" has the meaning of "Yingfu" and "Nafu", and the door is the entrance and exit of the family, a solemn and respectful place, and the word "Fu" posted must be solemn and dignified. If the word 'Fu' on the gate is turned upside down, it will be top-heavy and disrespectful. If you go to look through the folk New Year paintings in various places, and the word 'Fu' is pasted upside down on the door of any painting? You kid is a fake connoisseur who doesn't know anything and doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and this idea is too funny. You can't mess around like a dogmeat general in this matter......"

Yes, Hong Yanwu's clever child really didn't shake well, he touched his nose and couldn't refute it. When my father's number fell, I could only change it back obediently.
