The modern Lin Xiaoman has only been to the capital twice, once to pay homage to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and once to attend an internal party. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She has always been very curious about the Spring Festival in Beijing. This time, she finally experienced it herself, and she was naturally happy and happy.

According to the old rules of the capital, the Spring Festival begins almost at the beginning of the lunar month. "Ara, La, Laba, freeze to death jackdaw", this is the coldest time of the year. On the day of Laba, every family boils Laba porridge. Porridge is made with all kinds of rice, all kinds of beans, and all kinds of dried fruits. This is not porridge, but a small agricultural fair.

In addition, on this day, it is necessary to soak the garlic. Put the garlic cloves in vinegar, seal them, and use them for Chinese New Year dumplings. By the end of the year, the garlic was soaked like jade, and the vinegar also had a spicy taste, which made people can't help but eat a few more dumplings. In the capital, during the Chinese New Year, every family eats dumplings.

When children prepare for the New Year, the first thing they do is to buy mixed rice. This is made by mixing dried fruits such as peanuts, jujubes, hazelnuts, and chestnuts with candied fruit. Kids love to eat these bits and pieces. The second big thing is to buy firecrackers, especially for boys. I'm afraid the third thing is to buy all kinds of things - kites, bamboos, harmonicas, etc.

The children rejoiced, and the adults were busy. They must prepare food, drink, clothing, and supplies for the New Year, so that in the New Year they may show the new atmosphere of all things.

The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year, which is almost the "rehearsal" of the Spring Festival. As soon as the sky is dark, the firecrackers go off, and there is a taste of the New Year. On this day, it is to eat sugar, there are a lot of maltose and Jiang rice candy sold on the street, the sugar shape is either rectangular or melon-shaped, sweet and sticky, children like it the most.

During the period from Laba to Xiaonian, Lin Xiaoman and Xu Weiguo were not in the capital, so she didn't have time to try these things.

Xu Tianlai saw her with a look of pity, so he secretly ordered someone to buy things and let her fiddle with them one by one. Xu Weiguo knew that she was delicious, so he bought a lot of mixed mixtures, maltose, and Jiang rice candy, and let her hold and eat them all day long.

Lin Xiaoman soon discovered Xu Weiguo's careful thoughts, and he also had the intention of tricking him, so he ate the laba garlic with all his might on this day, and his mouth was full of garlic, sour and garlic.

After Xu Weiguo came back after buying meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, rice cakes, etc., she deliberately went to hang in front of him and lured him. Xu Weiguo frowned and asked her to rinse her mouth, but she couldn't go, and said that she didn't brush her teeth at night, so she slept like that.

Xu Weiguo raised his eyebrows and said: "You think that you can avoid being eaten in this way, but you are very wrong." ”

Lin Xiaoman was dragged upstairs and kissed, and the advantage was taken away. She shouted helplessly and with a headache: "Xu Weiguo, why are you so heavy-tasted?

Xu Weiguo laughed, "When I was eating the bread, I accidentally chewed the garlic as a green onion, thinking about it like this, it tastes special when I kiss it." Lin Xiaoman, you want to avoid me, how can I let you get your way?"

Well, everything stands in the way of the color tiger.

Lin Xiaoman went to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth, in fact, although Laba garlic is really delicious, but if you eat too much, your teeth will be sour.

She wanted to tease Xu Weiguo, but was convinced by Xu Weiguo.

This year's Xu Zhai, the New Year is really like the New Year. Popularity, joy, joy, all there. Xu Tianlai stood in his room, with a white corner of a photo less than two centimeters wide spread out in the palm of his hand, and only a little border line and a little corner of the clothes with flowers could be faintly seen on the fragment of this corner.

He just stared at this little thing all morning.

"Taozi, where the hell are you? I wish you could come back and spend the New Year with me. Do you know? Wei Guo has grown up and got married, and our daughter-in-law is very out of the box, eccentric, and has stirred up the capital to a point where it is not in shape. If you're here, your home will be more lively.

Taozi, I miss you. ”

Lin Xiaoman sneaked upstairs to look at Hu Dou, and heard Xu Tianlai's sour voice, her heart was sour, she stood at the door, and she didn't know what to say in order to comfort Xu Tianlai at this moment.

As soon as Xu Tianlai found that there was a person standing at the door, he immediately put away the photo that was only a corner left, stuffed it back into the pocket of his close-fitting clothes, and then slowly raised his eyes and shouted: "What is my husband doing peeking at the door of the station? If you want to enter, you can enter, and if you don't enter, you will go to play by yourself." He looked uneasy and kind, like a rat trying to steal oil. ”

Xu Tianlai didn't want people to know that he was sad in his heart, and he didn't want to cast a layer of ash on Lin Xiaoman's heart on this day when the whole country was happy.

This should be a time for family fun.

But the more he was like this, the more sour Lin Xiaoman's heart became, and he sat silently in front of his bed and lowered his head to tears. She cried and sobbed and called her father-in-law.

Xu Tianlai listened to the words father-in-law, and his face immediately turned to the side and looked out the window. He suddenly felt the urge to cry.

But he is Xu Tianlai, he can't.

There was only Lin Xiaoman's sobbing voice left in the room, she cried and cried and reached out to hug Xu Tianlai, Xu Tianlai struggled twice, Lin Xiaoman twisted even tighter, hugged him directly with both hands, and cried on his back.

"Father-in-law, we will definitely find my mother-in-law. Father-in-law, don't be sad. This year, we lived like this. Next year, we must be with my mother-in-law. As long as we believe, things will work out for the better. ”

Xu Tianlai stiffened and made her cry enough. When she had cried enough, and her swollen eyes began to wipe the corners of her eyes, he silently took out a deliberately aged treasure map from the small box at the bedside and handed it to Lin Xiaoman.

"Well, you unprofitable guy who can't afford to be early. If you cry like this, you should ask for something, right? Well, my father-in-law is not sad now, so I'll give you another piece of this treasure map. Hurry up and take it back to your room to tease you, if it can be connected to the one you used to have?"

Lin Xiaoman saw that it was a treasure map, and the tears were not wiped away, and his eyes were shining with the treasure map in his hand, and he looked at it again and again. looked at it, laughed again, and proudly showed his little tiger teeth and said, "Hehe, this is an unexpected gain." Father-in-law, I didn't want to ask for anything today. I'm just here to comfort you.

I think I've been thinking about this thing for a long time, but it turns out that I still have the intention to arrange flowers and flowers that don't bloom, and the unintentional flower arrangement is still shady. Father-in-law, you're so nice, you're awesome, you're not sentimental, I'll go study my treasure map. When I have a treasure, I'll keep it for your grandson or granddaughter as an heirloom.

I'm not greedy for these things from you, I just like to beg for them. ”

Xu Tianlai didn't speak, heh, this picture was painted by Xu Weiguo, and it was a rare thing to be able to dig out the treasure.

But it's a secret that can't be told.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and a wave of guests came to the Xu Mansion.
