Or has the "New Year" and "Spring Festival" become just a symbol, a symbol, or even just a holiday day?
The achievements of reform and development are undoubtedly great, bringing about high-speed economic development and social progress, and the people's living standards have been raised by a large grade.
However, at the same time, the pace of society continues to accelerate, everything looks at the concept of "money" is popular, coupled with the crazy impact of foreign culture, traditional festivals, especially the "Spring Festival", have fallen into a rather embarrassing dilemma - it seems that foreign festivals are becoming more and more marketable than our traditional festivals.
In later generations, a sentence that everyone often hears is - why is there less and less "New Year's flavor" in this year?
Yes, how can there be no "New Year's flavor"?
"New Year's Flavor", where does this virtual and virtual but real thing go? -- everything is because your original intention has changed, and you buried it with your own hands.
Seeing the whole family sitting around, waiting for the women to bring the meals they had prepared one by one to the table, Su Chenyu's fluttering thoughts slowly retracted - this was the "year" in his memory, this was the "year" he wanted.
Think about it, after work, every year is a hurried Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with my parents in a restaurant, and then there is no more, everyone goes home to do their own things. At most, the family sits around the TV, watching the TV absentmindedly, and the actual attention is already on the mobile phone.
A series of carefully prepared dishes were served, including chicken, duck, fish, beef, sheep, sea cucumbers, everything, and even some seasonal vegetables from the south, which are more expensive than anything else in the winter.
When all the dishes on the table were served, the whole family also sat down at the round table - the big drama of "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" began to sing.
As the last meal of the year, the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" is no longer just a meal, but a kind of feelings and feelings.
In the past, when life was difficult, perhaps everyone still looked forward to eating some meat and oil and water at the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" on Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the simplest and most simple expectation. However, now life is getting better day by day, although I dare not say that there is meat every day, but the people of Sujia Village have to get meat at least a few times a month, so it is more important for everyone to have a family reunion of "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner".
As the saying goes, hit 1,000, scold 10,000, and eat a meal on 30 nights -- no matter what unhappy or unsatisfactory the family has in the coming year, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, they must always sit together and eat a "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner" and turn all the bad things of the past year into the strength of the new year.
As the head of the family, at the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" on Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Zhongping naturally wanted to say something: "It's all a family, there is no big reason to talk about, let's raise a glass together to welcome a better next year." ”
After that, the family raised their glasses and toasted together for the upcoming new year.
After the old man became the lowest leader of our country, the "bureaucracy" was greatly enhanced, so he continued: "Next year, Xiaohan, Zhenguo and Xiaoyu will all take the college entrance examination, and we all wish them a good result and can be admitted to the university." ”
"Xiaohan, Xiaoyu, Zhenguo, take the test well!"
"Our family has never had a college student, so it's up to you. ”
……
Listening to the family's earnest words, Li Yuhan of course squinted his eyes and kept smiling, but Su Zhenguo's face was a little bitter, and he kept nodding his head with a bitter face - who can understand the world of scum?
As for Su Chenyu, hehe, how can the world of demons be understood by mortals?
After talking about the "Hope Generation" at home, Su Zhongping picked up his wine glass and said to Su Zhenbang and Su Zhongwen: "Zhongwen and Zhenbang, I wish you two a bigger business next year." ”
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Su Zhenbang and Su Zhongwen hurriedly picked up the wine glass and stood up, and after saying it with a smile, they drank all the wine in the glass.
Don't think that the "old bureaucrat" Comrade Su Zhongping's "New Year's speech" is over, hehe, then the old man turned on the map cannon for the whole family.
"Xiaoying, dad wishes you to live younger and younger next year, and you and Zhenbang and your husband can make further progress. "-No need to ask, this is about Comrade Feng Ying.
"Xiaowen, you have to bring a boyfriend home next year to show us. Otherwise, your uncle and I won't be happy. Remember, no, your marriage is now officially on the agenda. "-Well, this is a "forced marriage declaration" for Su Wen, and Su Wen, as the "boss and difficulty", has become a heart disease for the whole family.
"Old wife and younger siblings, I wish you all more and more comfort. -- This is a "New Year's greeting" to Shi Yuxiu and Shi Qiping.
Finally, Su Zhongping bowed down to the old lady and the old grandmother, and said respectfully: "Father, mother, son wishes you happiness next year such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”
"Okay, good, good, let's eat. ”
The old lady smiled and showed the few teeth he had left, looking at the big family sitting together, and his heart was indescribably strong - the old man has worked hard all his life, from the old society to the new China and then to the new era, his greatest wish is like this - the house is full of children and grandchildren, the younger generations are present, and the family is full of people.
With the order of the old lady, the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" officially started, and before moving the chopsticks, everyone laughed and said to Su Zhongping: "I wish you good health and all the best in the new year." ”
In the "New Year's Greetings" just now, Su Zhongping thought of everyone, but forgot about himself, but others did not forget - this is a family!
"Okay, okay, let's move the chopsticks. Su Zhongping sandwiched a piece of meat for each of the parents sitting in the main seat, and then said to the whole family.
Well, at this point, all the "New Year's ceremonies" have come to a perfect end, and everyone can finally taste this "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" that gathers the good expectations for the upcoming new year.
While eating and chatting, although the snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, the house is full of laughter and joy. In the midst of the staggering, everyone talked about the good expectations for the new year, the elders encouraged the children, and the children toasted to the elders one by one to congratulate the new year.
Just when everyone was eating "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" in laughter, the Spring Festival Gala on TV kicked off in the advertising slogan of Suning Group, and this TV program enjoyed by the whole country has gradually become a "big meal" on the table of many people's "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner".
From the beginning of the dark, until the night is like iron, and the snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker, this "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner" can be over, but it does not end there - the dumplings are not yet served at midnight.
By this time, the women had already finished the messy table with cups and plates, and placed all kinds of pastries, peanuts, melon seeds, nuts, fresh fruits, and fragrant tea drinks on it—the "New Year's Tea Party" officially began.
Slowly, some neighbors who are usually good friends began to come to the house, especially Su Zhenguo and Su Chenyu's group of "fox friends and dog friends" arrived one after another - after all, the big color TV is not comparable to the small black and white TV set at home.
Sitting in front of the TV, Su Chenyu and the children were watching the TV, chatting, and playing the playing cards in their hands, while the adults continued to talk about their hearts.
The night is deeper, the snow is thicker, the neighbors have gone back to prepare for the New Year, and the second half of Su Chenyu's family's "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" has officially begun - it's time for our "dumplings" to appear.
The family sat at the table, fighting for the "dumplings" of the old and new two-year-old "intersecting children", some noodles, some rolling skins, and some making dumplings.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, covering the earth with a white quilt - Ruixue is a good year, and it seems that the new year is another good year.
The dumplings have been cooked, and the bell at zero o'clock is about to ring, Su Chenyu and Su Zhenguo are already outside with Su Zhenbang and Su Zhongwen, ready to sound the first firecrackers of the new year.
Suning Group greets the Chinese people around the world!"
With the sound of zero o'clock on the TV, Su Zhenbang outside also lit a firecracker the moment the second hand on the watch pointed to "12".
"Crackling ......"
At the moment when the firecrackers of the Su family sounded, the entire Su family village was like dumplings in the pot and the sound of firecrackers rang out everywhere in an instant-in the sound of firecrackers, the old year has been removed, and the new year has taken great strides to begin to embrace everyone.
After the firecrackers went off, Su Chenyu and Su Zhenguo walked into the house with snowflakes on their heads.
Li Yuhan helped Su Chenyu pat the snowflakes off his body, and then the two sat down at the table together and picked up the dumplings, smiled and ate them, ushering in the new year in sweetness and warmth.
1992 has been farther and farther away, the arms of 1993 have been opened, and the new year has come to this land of change in the footsteps of Ruixue in the sound of firecrackers. In the new year, for Su Chenyu, for Su Zhenbang, and for everyone in the Su family, there is no doubt that it will be another year full of surprises.
The snow in the sky is bigger, the snow on the ground is thicker, and the sky and the earth are white, and next year, 1993, full of hope and expectation, has come......
