was interrupted by Yang Qihuai like this, and the original festive atmosphere of the Yang family was diluted a lot.

However, the year has to go on.

People preparing for the New Year seem to be procrastinators, and everything is piled up on the last day. Forced, of course.

After killing the pig on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Yang family was busy.

The women, along with their grandmothers, were killing chickens and ducks. According to the custom, each family has to kill a chicken, and as for the ducks, it depends on the situation of each family.

The men, on the other hand, do the hard work - making rice buns (rice cakes in some places) and making glutinous rice cakes. Playing rice buns is a technical job, even Yang Yang, who is in his twenties, can't do it well, so he can only fight, and the three Yang Shu brothers take turns to fight. Hold the T-shaped wooden chimney high and smash it down hard. In the process of smashing, there should be a squeezing action.

The other person used his hands to smooth off the grains of rice that were stuck to the wooden hammer. Therefore, coordination and rhythm are particularly important.

Hey, hey, shouting slogans, the wooden hammer fell heavily on the stone mortar again and again, breaking the rice into a ball, and every grain of rice had to be broken.

Finally, the beaten rice cake is placed on the bamboo woven with oil, and everyone kneades it into round and flat rice crackers by hand, which is glutinous and soft and elastic, and it is particularly delicious.

After beating the rice crackers of the three families, the three fathers were so tired that they couldn't speak, Yang Shushu pointed to a few young people who were rubbing rice crackers and said: "Look at Yang Yang, Yang An, we all started to help work when we were so old, and we beat the rice crackers." ”

"Isn't it, big brother, you picked up the hammer the year you took it, I was lying on the stone mortar to help, I saw a black grain of rice, I wanted to pull it out, and your wooden coffin almost fell on me. Scared my mother out of ......"

"Haha, fortunately, I didn't have much strength at that time, and when I saw that you didn't get up, I forced myself to stand on it, if it was like this, once it was opened, it would be uncontrollable. ”

Where are a few adults reminiscing about the past, a group of children are noisy, and slowly restore a bit of the atmosphere of the New Year.

"I'm back!" a handsome young man with long hair kicked open the door of the compound with his bag. looked at everyone and threw away the bag: "I, Comrade Yang Guang is back!"

Yang Guang opened his hands and looked like he was waiting for everyone to cheer.

Smack! Yang Shu slapped Yang Guang's head: "Come back so late, don't go to help!"

Yang Guang saw that it was his father, lowered his head and picked up the bag, oh. Yang Guangtian is not afraid of the ground, he is afraid of his father. That's really scared, what belts, bamboo silk, wooden sticks, especially bamboo silk, tsk, elastic pumping will really bleed. Yang Guang was naughty when he was a child, and Yang Shu often helped him to have a long memory, although Yang Guang forgot the pain after the scars, but the shadow of childhood was still deeply engraved in his memory.

Yang Guang threw the bag in the hall, watched a few people rubbing rice crackers, licked his lips and said, "Oh, I'm hungry, I'll eat one first!"

This time it was Yang Yang who hit him.

"Boss, why are you beating me!"

"Wash your hands!"

"I won't wash it, I won't eat it cleanly, I'll get it!" As soon as he stretched out his hand, the two rice crackers had already been grabbed by him, and while eating, he showed off to Yang Yang: "Boss, you can't react, I haven't used all my skills just now!"

Yang Yang knew Yang Guang's virtue and ignored him at all, so Yang Guang continued: "Yang An, you can't do it, this rice fruit strength is not enough." ”

Yang An smiled, and suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Uncle, the second brother asked you to beat harder, and he said that the rice crackers can't be done!"

Yang Guang was almost frightened by Yang An's voice, and Mi Guo stuck in his throat for a long time before swallowing it. Yang Guang said to Yang An with tears in his eyes: "Yang An, you have been in high school for a year, and your heart has become bad, did you learn from the people in the city?"

"That's it, I want you to hate this and that!" Yang Yang laughed on the side. And a few of the kids giggled.

"Okay, there are a lot of you, I don't have the same knowledge as you!" After speaking, Yang Guang took two more rice crackers, and it seemed that he was really hungry.

"If you eat so much, you're not afraid that you won't be able to eat at night. Yang Yang looked at it and said.

"I want you to take care of it!" Yang Guang walked towards the room with his bag while eating.

This is half an afternoon. Put the things away, wash the mortar, and close the lid.

Yang An has already prepared the four treasures of the study and the cut red paper - ready to write the Spring Festival couplets.

Counting back more than ten or twenty years, Yang Shulin was also regarded as a cultural person in the village, and he wrote well. Yang An poured ink into a broken bowl, and several children gathered around to watch Yang Shulin write.

Yang Shulin picked up the pen and moved his joints, and said with a smile: "I haven't written it for several years, and I don't know if it's good or not." ”

Yang Shusen said: "If you can't write well, you can write, we can't write calligraphy, Yang An, will you?"

Yang An hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't write calligraphy now, I won't." ”

"You have to practice calligraphy, look at your father, this is a reader, you, in the future, I can only be regarded as half a literate person. ”

Yang An smiled.

Let's talk about the poplar forest, dipped in ink, pondered a little, and then started to write a couplet in one go. Yang An naturally had a better voice, and Yang Huan also shouted with a wow.

Yang An made fun of him: "Lele, you say, what's good?"

Yang Lele lined up on the table and thought about it very seriously: "The color is good-looking, red and red." ”

Hahaha, the children's ideas are really peculiar, which makes everyone laugh. Yang Le said: "Red is good-looking, and the shoes my brother bought for me are red!"

Yang An hugged Yang Le and said, "Okay, Lele says it's good-looking." ”

There are many people and great power, Yang Shulin writes a pair, and Yang Yang takes Yang Ping and Yang Ji to paste a pair. Yang An hugged Yang Le, so he had to watch from the side.

"Okay!" Yang Yang pasted the last couplet, "Let's take a bath, ready to eat Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"It's the New Year!" Yang Ji shouted, "I'm going to take a bath and wear nice clothes!"

"I'll go too, I'll go too!" he shouted, several children ran away, and Yang Le also struggled down, running in a hurry.

"A'an, let's go in too. ”

"Hmm. ”

Yang An glanced back at the courtyard gate and couplet: "Heshun Gate is the first hundred blessings and the family is happy to accept thousands of auspicious." "Horizontal batch" Fuxi Yingmen. ”

Yang An turned around and walked back, with a smile on his face, and silently said in his heart: "It's the New Year." ”
