Chapter 506: Lantern Festival (I)
Since returning to his grandparents' house, Lin Tianneng can clearly feel that his mother's mood is much better, and he is always smiling every day. In other places, mothers laugh, but it doesn't always feel like they laugh from the heart.
And now I live with my relatives every day, and every day my mother's face is filled with a "real" smile.
At the same time, since the mother and Lin Tian came back, the aunt often lived at home, after all, the sisters had not seen each other for a long time, so they took this opportunity to get together, and the mother seemed to mean the same thing, and often went to the street with the aunt to play......
Lin Tian followed his grandfather and grandmother, taking care of the children at home from time to time!
The family's fields are all allocated by the village, and more land has been allocated this year, but because there are more children in the family and the two elderly people are getting older, most of the fields have been contracted out, and only a few are left to grow by themselves.
......
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it ushered in the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the small first month, the Yuan Xi or the Lantern Festival, which is the first important festival after the Spring Festival, and is one of the traditional festivals of the Chinese people since ancient times.
According to legend, the ancient Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty celebrated the rebellion of Zhou Bo on the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month of the survey of Zhulu, every night, must go out of the palace to play, and the people have fun, in ancient times, the night is the same night, the first month is also called the first month, the Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty will be the fifteenth day of the first month as the Lantern Festival, this night is called the Lantern Festival. In addition, Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar" and listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival. Since the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, it has been even more prosperous. "Sui Shu Music Chronicles" day: "Whenever the first month, all countries come to the court, stay until the 15th in the end of the gate outside the Jianguo Gate, stretching for eight miles, the opera is the theater", the participants in the song and dance are tens of thousands, from the faint to the dark, to the obscure.
The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China, which existed as early as the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. According to data and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been valued in the Western Han Dynasty, and the activity of sacrificing "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace on the first night of the first lunar month of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is regarded by later generations as the precursor of the sacrifice to the gods on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Lantern Festival, originally meaning "the night of the Shangyuan Festival", because the main activity of the "Shangyuan Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is to eat glutinous rice balls at night and admire the moon, and later the name of the festival evolved into "Lantern Festival". On the night of the Lantern Festival, the streets and alleys are lit up, people enjoy the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, and eat the Lantern Festival, pushing the celebration that began on Chinese New Year's Eve to another climax and becoming a custom that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Early in the morning, Lin Tian got up from bed early.
"Huh?"
When he walked outside, Lin Tiancai found that the house was empty and almost empty, so he shouted......
"Grandpa?"
It's a pity that in the early morning room, there was only Lin Tian's voice, but the person who called did not answer.
"Hey, what about people?" Lin Tian couldn't help but wonder a little, where did he go when he was not at home early in the morning, could it be that he went outside to play.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn't think much about it, but turned around and went to wash, but at this time, a person came out of the inner room, it was Lin Tian's grandmother.
"Grandma, do you know where grandpa and my mother went?" Lin Tian asked as he squeezed the toothpaste.
"Oh my God!" Grandma buttoned up the big padded jacket outside, and then said, "Your grandfather went to the street to buy something this morning, and then your mother and your aunt both went." ”
"Oh, I see. Hearing his grandmother's answer, Lin Tian understood......
Sure enough, about an hour later, a small car drove back, and Lin Tian knew that it was his aunt's car at a glance.
The car stopped in front of the gate, and my grandfather and mother got down first, and then my mother said to Lin Tian: "Xiaotian, hurry up and help your grandfather bring back all the things in the car." ”
"Okay. Lin Tian nodded, then walked to the trunk, and after opening it, he saw that there were a lot of things bought inside, including food and fun, the most correct of which was fireworks......
There are also three lanterns inside, which are the kind with batteries, Lin Tian used to play often when he was a child, usually put two No. 5 batteries into it, as soon as the switch on the lantern is turned on, it will immediately emit bright lights and play singing.
At this time, Xiao Hao, Zhenzhen and Yue Yue had already gotten up, and when they saw the three lanterns in Lin Tian's hands coming in, they were immediately very happy, and they couldn't wait to snatch them from Lin Tian's hands.
The village suddenly became lively, Lin Tian came out to see, it turned out that there were a lot of strangers in the village, some of them drove expensive cars, and some of them drove very ordinary cars, but their purpose was a family in the east of the village.
This scene is very lively for the already relatively quiet village. Since coming back, Lin Tian could occasionally see a few people of the same age, but they left less than a day after coming to the village, presumably to come back to visit the old man.
At noon, my grandfather cooked dumplings, and the dumplings made by myself were not as good as those bought outside, and my grandfather wrapped them with green onions and pork to eat pork and green onion stuffed dumplings for several days, plus the weather in the countryside was very cold, and the dumplings would not be bad for a few days.
After eating two large bowls of dumplings in a row, Lin Tian also felt that he was very full, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks. The big bowl used in the countryside is not comparable to the one used in the city, and the small bowl in the city is two big and even larger, so the two bowls of dumplings are belly, and the stomach is also very supportive.
At this time, there was a knock on the outermost door, and Lin Tian happened to hear the knock, so he got up and went to open the door.
As a result, before Lin Tian could go out, they pushed the door in. Lin Tian saw that it was a few of the people who had driven to the village in the morning.
Lin Tian didn't know those people, and he didn't have any impressions, so he didn't say hello, and after they came in, they first glanced at Lin Tian, and then walked to the back room.
In the inner room, my grandparents were eating dumplings, and when they saw someone coming, my grandfather immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and after seeing the appearance of the people who came, he smiled at these people......
What was being talked about inside the house, Lin Tian, who was outside the house, didn't know, and he didn't bother to know.
It was only later that Lin Tian learned that these people had some relatives with their families, but they rarely contacted each other, and they would only visit them during the New Year's holidays, so the usual relationship was more ordinary.
And I heard my grandfather say that some of these people are big officials in the county, and some are doing business in the city, in short, they are more famous people in the village.
Lin Tian walked to the door outside, and he could hear the sound of cannonballs, and when he turned his head, it turned out that there were many children in the east of the village setting off matchsticks, and groups of three or five guys were having a good time together.
