The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhou Xuan got up very early. Looking up at the sky, it was just dawn and the sun was still below the horizon. But depending on the weather, it's still good, a sunny day.

Zhou Xuan ran a few laps along the path in the back mountain, almost half an hour, and then heard his mother call for dinner.

After everyone had breakfast, Zhou Xuan's family began to get busy, preparing for the sumptuous lunch of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhou's father went to the fish farmer in the village, ready to buy two fish and come back to eat.

In this place in Rongzhou, during the Chinese New Year, chicken, duck and fish meat are indispensable. There are more than every year, but it's not just lip service.

Everyone eats fish during the New Year, hoping for a bumper harvest in the coming year and surplus food at home.

In the countryside, people generally like to eat freshly caught fish from the fish pond. The fish in the fish pond are not fed with feed, but are fed with aquatic plants, which are delicious, and can be said to be all natural and pollution-free, completely green food.

Every year in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, the fish pond begins to draw nets and fish, and then sell them to neighbors who have heard the news from the surrounding area.

Zhou Xuan's mother began to clean the house. It's going to be the New Year, and the house has to be cleaned inside and out, which means removing the old and welcoming the new.

Zhou's mother used a broom made of bamboo to clean the roof and the cobwebs in the corners of the walls first. Then he and Zhou Xuan carried the chair, moved the table, moved the cabinet, and cleaned the dust in the corners. Finally, use hot water to wipe the tables, chairs, and cabinets, so that you have to work for at least a morning.

The grandfather put on reading glasses and began to write blessing paper. Take out the blessing paper that you have already bought, wrap it, and then write on the front according to the format who you are sending it to and who is sending it.

After the blessing paper is written, it is to be burned to the elders who have passed away, which means to send some money to the ancestors, so that they can live with peace of mind and live well there.

Grandpa brought a large ceramic basin and folded the blessing paper one by one in it. There is a lot of money paper stuffed in the gaps, so that the money can be made quickly. After stacking, Grandpa lit it and waited for it to burn inside.

Fu paper is generally burned at ten o'clock in advance, and if it is not early, it will not be burned at twelve o'clock. The smoke is burning, and there is no way to eat in the living room.

In addition to burning blessing paper, grandpa also had to light three incense candles on the kitchen stove, in front of the door and behind the house. It is also very convenient to insert incense, just cut two pieces of red lettuce.

Grandma was busy feeding the pigs, and then when Dad bought the fish, he started to make lunch.

Here, the lunch on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is the most sumptuous, unlike some other places that are the most sumptuous at night.

Grandma and Dad started making fish, killing chickens, killing ducks, and busily cooking a hearty lunch.

Zhou Xuan began to take out the Spring Festival couplets, and then pasted them with his sister.

Tear off the door frame last year's Spring Festival couplets, and some of them have to be scraped off with a knife if they can't be torn off. Then smear the rice soup and paste the Spring Festival couplets neatly and squarely on the door frame.

By twelve o'clock, lunch was almost ready. When the food is set on the table, put the bowls out first. A little rice is added to each bowl, which means that the deceased elders are called to eat first.

At the same time, Zhou Xuan also took out a plate of firecrackers, hung it in front of the door, and then lit it. Amid the sound of loud firecrackers, the family sits around the table to start the most important festival of the year.

After twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers in the countryside came and went, indicating that the old year was about to pass and the new year was coming.

Every year, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this is probably what it looks like.

This year's dishes are extraordinarily rich, with chicken, duck, fish, beef, and seafood. My sister eats with a mouth full of oil, and her stomach is big.

And because of the opening of the clothing store, this month, excluding the cost, I earned almost nearly 20,000 yuan. This was unthinkable in the previous home.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan's parents were also very generous, and bought two sets of new clothes for everyone in the family. also changed to a 32-inch large color TV, so in recent days, Zhou Xuan's sister has been watching TV next to the TV every day, and she doesn't go out to play with her friends.

Because of their happiness, their parents, grandparents, and grandparents drank some wine, which was brewed medicinal wine. In fact, there are many benefits to the countryside, at least it is easy to find some herbs.

After eating, it's time to play and rest in the afternoon. In this part of the western province of S, everyone likes to play cards.

Playing poker, playing mahjong, playing long cards Yang Jiajiang, stewed chicken (smashing golden flowers) and so on are all popular. Whether it's in the city or in the countryside, there are teahouses everywhere.

Especially during the holidays, during the Spring Festival, there are too many people playing cards.

The same is true in Zhouxuan Village, where cards are usually played at the neighbor's house during the Spring Festival. Therefore, after lunch, everyone gathered at the neighbor's house to play cards, which was very lively.

The men are playing cards, the women are chatting, and the family is long and short, this is a rare leisure time of the year.

The children were on the dam, holding the cannons that the adults had bought, and kept putting them down. If it was before, Zhou Xuan still liked to shoot guns, but as a reborn man, he felt really too naïve.

Zhou Xuan felt quite bored because he didn't play cards and wouldn't play. When I think of my last life, I thought that the New Year was too unfun.

Zhou Xuan doesn't play cards, so he can only stay at home and watch TV at home alone. The taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, so after the first day of junior high school, I often go to the county to reunite with classmates and go on the Internet or something.

On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I warmed up the noon meal, and then even ate dinner.

Then the family sat in the house and watched the New Year's party. To be honest, 05 years ago, Zhou Xuan was still looking forward to the Spring Festival Gala.

As for 98, it was even better, there were many shows that Zhou Xuan liked. The hosts are Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, Zhu Jun, Zhou Tao and others, and there are several programs that can be remembered.

Feng Gong's cross talk "Sit and Enjoy It", Song Dandan's sketch "Go Home", Song Zuying's song "Good Day", and Faye Wong's song "Meet in 1998", which will be popular in China in the future.

At twelve o'clock, only Zhou Xuan and his sister were still watching the Spring Festival Gala. Dad went to play cards, Mom and grandparents went to sleep, and only Zhou Xuan and his sister had such good energy.

With the sound of the countdown to the live broadcast of the party, ninety-seven years have passed, and Zhou Xuan has ushered in a more brilliant ninety-eight years.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan was slightly excited in his heart, what kind of changes would his rebirth bring to this family, this quiet mountain village?

Just after twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers came one after another in the township, and every household lit firecrackers to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, wishing the coming year prosperous and the family happiness and health.

Zhou Xuan also took out a firecracker and lit it, and the firecracker bloomed in the dark night, shining with dazzling brilliance.

After Zhou Xuan coaxed his sister to sleep, he also lay down. But I couldn't sleep, and the sound of firecrackers outside the window continued.
