Chapter 41: It's New Year

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the weather is quacky and cold, but for the Northeast people in Maodong, sit on their warm kang head, and the family chatters and plays cards, not to mention how beautiful the small day is. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Grandma and Mom worked together to make a large pot of noodles and put them in the hottest place on the kang, which is to make noodles. When the noodles are raised, Ming'er will steam all kinds of noodles.

Grandpa continued his great work of pasting lanterns, and the two ends and the shape were on the side. Don't look at the small person at the second end, but she is an adult core, and she paints the red paper and paints it evenly. Grandpa saw it and praised the dexterity of the two ends.

Speaking of which, Erwei is indeed a clever girl, and her hands-on ability has been particularly strong since she was a child, and she can learn anything by looking at it twice.

The lantern shelf of the Zhou family was welded by someone to find someone to weld the iron bars made by Zhou Jinglin, and the shape of the palace lamp. Originally, palace lamps were generally made of wood, but they were not durable. Because I was impatient to do it every year, I simply welded an iron frame, so that as long as the colored paper was re-pasted before the New Year, it would become. At this time, no one would draw that kind of beautiful pattern, and Grandpa simply pasted red paper and lit a lamp inside, which was quite beautiful.

Dad and Uncle also prepared the lantern pole early, and when the time came, they could hang the lantern and erect it in the courtyard.

Couplets and blessing words are naturally written by the grandfather who reads poetry and books, as soon as the Chinese New Year arrives, there is an endless stream of people who come to ask for couplets, and the grandfather simply cuts paper early to write couplets, so that people come to ask for it, and take a pair directly.

Of course, people who go to ask for couplets are generally not in vain, they will send a few eggs to grandpa's house, a bowl of pickles, and grandma does not dislike it, thinking that this is all a courtesy exchange between neighbors.

The couplet for the two ends of the house, the natural grandfather carefully wrote, but the two ends looked at it, it was quite characteristic of the times. Uplink: Rich country Anbang people are happy and prosperous; Downlink: Changing customs and sending the old to welcome the new.

Having experienced the two ends of the transition from the twentieth century to the twenty-first century, I often feel that history is a kind of reincarnation, and folk customs are also reincarnation.

Take the couplet, for example, which is still written with a brush, and in a few years the printed couplet will begin to dominate. I don't know if everyone finds it convenient, or if there are fewer and fewer people who can write well.

The printed couplets of various colors are becoming more and more exquisite, and the font is no longer black, but gold, and even gold pastel. However, in the era before the return of the two ends, the couplets written by the brush began to be liked by everyone again, and the prints began to be retro, printed with the feeling of imitation brush words.

Is it that people are going backwards? No, it's just that people are starting to think about the meaning of tradition, and they are starting to feel nostalgic.

The three grandparents pasted the lanterns, and the grandmother and mother picked the beans, but the father went out with the uncle early in the morning, and the two ends didn't ask where to go, and I felt that my father was mysterious.

"Shape, come out quickly, see what Dad is buying?" Hearing his father's shout, Erduan and his brother glanced at each other, put down the things in their hands and ran out.

When I got to the door, I saw my father and uncle unloading the car. At a glance, the two ends saw the wooden box resting on the ground, and their eyes widened suddenly. Mother, TV!

"Wow, Dad, you bought me a soccer ball!" The type stared at the soccer ball hanging from the handlebar at a glance and ran over happily.

The two ends followed slowly behind, and their eyes never took off the wooden box where the TV was installed, not knowing whether it was black and white or color.

"Come here, Dad promised you a little three-wheeled child and bought it for you. Dad put the children's tricycle that he had promised to buy for the second end on the ground, and beckoned his girl to come and see if he was satisfied.

The little three-wheeler diverted his attention from the two ends, ran over and rode steadily, and kicked twice. The uncle pulled the handlebars on the side, allowing the two ends to borrow some force.

After riding around the yard, I saw my father and uncle moving the TV into the house, so I threw down the car I was thinking about and followed up.

In the house, grandparents and mom were looking around the TV. The whole village also has a TV at the village chief's house and the old man's house Qi, and the Zhou family is estimated to be the third to buy a TV.

This thing still has to be bought with a ticket.,TV tickets are much more difficult to get than bicycle tickets.,The two ends are estimated to be Dad looking for someone to get it.,It's amazing.。

"Dad,Are you a surprise for everyone?" The second end also took a look at the small TV resting on the kang,After watching more than forty or fifty inch LCD TVs,Looking at the TV at this time,It's really small,Although it was big in the 80s。

Zhou Jinglin proudly stroked the girl's pigtails and asked, "What's the matter? This TV is not bad, right? I asked someone to buy it from Guangdong, imported, and colored." ”

The second end was a little surprised, Dad's shot was generous enough, and the color TV cost one or two thousand yuan. She was a little sore.

"Dad, Dad, open it and take a look. "Grandpa's house is only a black and white, and I haven't seen a color TV yet, so I'm very curious.

"I can't see it yet, wait until your dad and I get the antenna ready. Uncle explained with a smile.

That's right, at this time, you have to get your own antenna mast to watch TV, put the antenna outside the house, and you have to turn around to find the best direction.

The whole family can look forward to it, and I can't wait for my father and uncle to get the mast right away, and my grandfather will vacate the small table where my grandmother's camphor wood box is placed, so that the TV can be placed on it.

The antenna was set up, the electricity was plugged in, and the family stared intently at the TV screen. Uncle turned on the power, and the snowflakes appeared, and the sound of stabbing and stinging sounded.

"Brother, turn the antenna!" the uncle shouted to his father, who was waiting outside to adjust the antenna.

After a while, the TV appeared. The uncle hurriedly called Dad to stop.

The two ends have a black line, science and education programs, and courses at the University of Electricity.

But except for the two ends,Everyone else is interested,Grandparents are naturally praising this color TV is good,The color looks really bright。

The family is talking about the TV around, and the excitement is just up to the New Year. Grandma wanted to ask the second uncle's family to watch TV, and the second end thought to herself, now it's okay, your two grandchildren will definitely have to grow up in your house in the future.

In fact, the second end is a little worried.,Buying a color TV at home,It's too popular in the village.,Will there be any bad effects?

However, seeing that the family was so happy, she couldn't pour cold water, so she could only keep her worries in her heart.

But after thinking about it, Dad doesn't look like such a unsuccessful person, and Uncle can't even think of this layer, since they didn't care about this, they swaggered back the TV today, they should have a score in their hearts, right?

Whatever, adults worry about it, the second end rides the little three-wheeled child that his father brought to the house, and squeaks all over the house, fortunately, her house is big.
