Not long after the winter, there was a heavy snowfall, and the old people said that Ruixue was a good year, and Luo Qingyan saw such a big snow for the first time, and it rained several times in one winter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWinters in the Northeast are particularly cold, with dozens of degrees below zero being the norm. The mountains are covered in snow, and the snow will not melt until next spring.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the wax moon, and entering the wax moon means that the New Year is coming. On the day of Laba, Laba porridge is made according to local customs, and then it is time to prepare for the beginning of the New Year.

Adults began to prepare new clothes for their children, food for the New Year, and things they needed for New Year's greetings. Luo Qingyan put down his studies for the time being, took out the fabrics that he had prepared a long time ago, and began to make new clothes for his grandfather and himself to wear for the New Year. Luo Qingyan's craftsmanship in making clothes is getting better and better, and the style is the popular style of this era, just a little changed, not too conspicuous and not too ugly.

The two of them also prepare things for the New Year, and they have no other relatives in the family, and they don't need to prepare things for New Year's greetings, just prepare their own food. Make a list of what you want to prepare, and then follow the list to buy something.

This is the first New Year after Luo Qingyan took charge of the house, she wants to take care of it herself, and let her grandfather point out if there is anything missing. There are some things such as making red bean buns that require red beans and brown sugar, and the family has divided red beans but lacks brown sugar, so they have to buy them. There are also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to add some and so on. These can be bought first, and they can be prepared first. The meat village will divide some, and buy some peanuts, melon seeds, candy, etc.

The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year, and after the new year, the countdown will begin. First of all, all the dry food eaten during the New Year should be steamed out, such as steamed buns, bean buns, rice cakes, wotou and so on. It was steamed for several days, and the two of them were tired enough. This year, the family's income is good, and the two are ready to have a prosperous year.

At the beginning of winter, Luo Qingyan asked his grandfather to nail two large wooden boxes, in which some leeks were planted, and he had already eaten a few stubbles. Mung beans are also used to give birth to mung bean sprouts, and you can also add a green vegetable for the New Year. Liu Liying saw Luo Qingyan planting leeks and raw bean sprouts, and after asking carefully, she went home and asked her mother to do the same, and later many people asked Wang Xiuyun to learn.

Twenty-five swept the house, the grandfather and grandson swept the house again, looking at the house neat and clean, although there were only grandfathers and grandchildren, but also felt very warm. The New Year should be pasted with couplets, blessing words, and window flowers. The window grille will not be cut, but the couplets and blessing characters can be written by themselves, which Luo Zhentang is the best at, and he picked up the brush and brought it easily.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, many families will set off firecrackers, and the Chinese New Year's Eve is also called Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is a legend about the origin of this Chinese New Year's Eve. According to legend, in ancient China, there was a monster called Xi, with a long head and antennae, fierce and abnormal, often devouring livestock and harming human life. The people of the villages and villages helped the old and the young to flee to the mountains to escape the harm of the night beasts.

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the people of Peach Blossom Village are helping the old and the young to take refuge in the mountains. Some of the villagers sealed the windows and locked the doors, some packed up, some led the cattle and drove the sheep, and people everywhere shouted and neighed, a scene of panic in a hurry. At this time, a half-grown child came from outside the village, and I saw that this child had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was beautiful and lovely. When the child came to the east end of the village, he saw an old woman and asked why everyone was alarmed. The old woman had no choice but to tell the child that Xi was coming to make trouble again, and persuaded him to go up the mountain to avoid the "Xi" beast, and the child smiled: "Mother-in-law ~ My name is Nian, let me stay at home for one night, I will definitely drive the 'Xi' beast away." The old woman looked at him in surprise and saw that he was extraordinary. But she still continued to persuade, and Nian smiled and did not speak. The mother-in-law had no choice but to leave her home and go up the mountain for refuge.

In the middle of the night, Xi broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the old woman's house in the east of the village was pasted with big red paper, and the house was lit with candles. The "Xi" beast trembled and screamed. He glared at his mother-in-law's house for a moment, then screamed and pounced. When approaching the door, there was a sudden explosion sound of "bang bang" in the courtyard, and "Xi" trembled all over, and he didn't dare to move forward anymore. It turned out that "Xi" was most afraid of red, fire, and explosions. At this time, the door of the mother-in-law's house was wide open, and I saw a young man in a red robe laughing in the courtyard. "Xi" was shocked and fled in embarrassment.

The next day, the people who had returned from the evacuation were amazed to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman suddenly realized and hurriedly told the villagers about the promise of the year. The villagers flocked to the old woman's house, only to see red paper pasted on the door of the mother-in-law's house, a pile of unburned bamboo in the courtyard was still "popping" and exploding, and a few red candles in the house were still ......glowing; In order to celebrate the auspicious arrival, the ecstatic villagers changed into new clothes and hats, and went to the homes of relatives and friends to say hello. The news soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people knew how to drive away the "Xi" beasts. For this reason, everyone has gone to visit the New Year, which is now the "New Year", and the picture of the New Year is posted at the door or in front of the window, which is called New Year's painting. The day of New Year's Eve is called Chinese New Year's Eve. Since then, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers; every household has bright candles and watches for the new year. Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, I have to go to my relatives and friends to say hello. This custom has spread more and more widely, and has become the most solemn traditional festival of Chinese folk "New Year".

Chinese New Year's Eve is extremely important for the Chinese people. On this day, people prepare to remove the old and welcome the new, and have a reunion dinner. In ancient China, some prison officials even let prisoners go home to reunite with their families for the New Year, which shows how important the "reunion dinner" was to the ancient Chinese people. Chinese New Year's Eve is also the busiest time for housewives in the kitchen, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also the most sumptuous meal of the year. The dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year should also be wrapped on the evening of the 30th.

Although there are only two people in the Locke family, they must also prepare Chinese New Year's Eve rice, a braised fish, a braised pork, stir-fried bean sprouts, sweet and sour spicy cabbage, fried fungus with eggs, a chicken stewed mushroom, six dishes six six six Shun, and white fat big steamed buns. Luo Qingyan also bought two bottles of good wine for his grandfather, Luo Zhentang didn't care too much about wine, but he should drink a little after the New Year. The two happily finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, kept a vigil together, and by the way, made dumplings to be eaten in the middle of the night and on the first day of the new year. But after finishing the dumplings, it didn't take long for Luo Qingyan to be sleepy and couldn't stand it, and finally the two of them rested without eating the dumplings.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and after eating dumplings, I put out peanuts, melon seeds, and candies for entertaining guests. After a while, some people came to pay New Year's greetings, and the people in the village went door-to-door to greet the New Year, in fact, it was to visit the door and greet them. Adults and children are separated, and at this time, children go from house to house, and each house can receive peanuts, melon seeds, candy, etc. After a while, the pockets of my clothes were full, so I quickly ran home to clean them and then walked to the next house. Therefore, it is said that the children have the most harvest in the New Year.

After the first day of junior high school, it is necessary to pay New Year's greetings to relatives, and the second day of junior high school is generally the aunt to pay New Year's greetings to the father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law's family should also prepare well to entertain the uncle. After that, there are other relatives, and it is not finished until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Luo Qingyan experienced the lively scene of the New Year in the 60s in the Northeast. She feels that although people are very poor nowadays, their desire for a better life has not changed, so the Chinese New Year will be particularly lively, and they also attach great importance to the New Year. Everyone wants to experience a good life through the New Year, so no matter how poor they are, they will be willing to spend money on things. Unlike the 21st century, although people's living standards have improved and the content of life has been enriched, but there is no such excitement, it may be that there are too many festivals in ordinary times, and people have become accustomed to it.
