Chinese New Year (Part I)

December 30, New Year's Day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, the sun has not come out, Yangjia Village began to be lively, Spring and Autumn deliberately got up early in the morning today, and put on the new clothes that Yuan had already prepared on his body, wearing new clothes for the New Year, this is the tradition of rural farmers, and the peasant families are simple, all year round they also point to the New Year to wear some new clothes, and the children in the village are even more so, everyone wears brand new clothes and runs out of the door, showing off to their friends.

After Chunqiu changed his clothes, he was dragged out of the house by Huzi, who had already been prepared on the side, and when he went to bed last night, Chunqiu promised Huzi that he would go out to play with him today.

"Qiu'er, come here, don't go out yet" Yuan was busy in the kitchen, and when he saw the two of them running in the yard, he was so anxious that he shouted directly.

Chunqiu heard her mother's shout in her ears, stretched out her hand and grabbed Huzi, who was still running forward, motioned for Huzi to take a look, and then said in a loud voice, "Mother, what's the matter?" If there was no matter, her mother should not call them.

"You two come over here," Yuan shouted, pulling his neck.

Chunqiu and Huzi glanced at each other, and then ran to the kitchen together, "Mother, what's wrong?" Huzi was in a hurry, and before Chunqiu could ask, he asked.

"You two go to Grandma's house and send this boiled paste over" Yuan lowered his head and picked up the small basin that was still steaming on the side, and put it directly in front of Chunqiu.

Chunqiu glanced down, "Mother, is there nothing else?"

"No, when the time comes, help grandma do some work, don't bother to play" Yuan looked at Huzi's anxious appearance, and opened his mouth angrily to count two sentences.

Chunqiu looked at her mother with a smile, and said with a flattering face, "Mother, then let's go over first."

Yuan Shi looked at the impatient appearance of the two of them who were like grass growing in their hearts, waved their hands out of sight and out of mind, and said with a disgusted face, "Go, go, go."

Chunqiu pulled Huzi and turned around and ran out, they went back quickly, and hurried to play.

Yang Li was cutting the God of Wealth in the house, that is, folding and folding on the red paper, and then picking it out with scissors.

Huzi didn't want to come in and waited for her at the outside door.

"Grandma, this is the paste that my mother asked me to take" Chunqiu looked curiously at the vivid image of the God of Wealth in front of him, and put the paste in his hand aside.

Not to mention, her grandmother's unique job can be sold for money in modern times, looking at the two red gold ingots held in the arms of the God of Wealth, Chunqiu admires her milk's craftsmanship in her heart, she is so talented!

Yang Li was busy cutting the red paper in his hand, and when he heard the voice of Chunqiu and Chunqiu, he was not distracted, but just lowered his head and replied, "I know, good granddaughter, go play."

"Grandma, don't you need my help?" Chunqiu lay on the side of the kang, tilting his head to look at Grandma who was sitting cross-legged on the kang on the side.

"No, let's go play" After Yang Li finished speaking, the red paper in his hand was also cut, and he shook the unwanted red paper on his body, Yang Li unfolded the things in his hand, and Chunqiu looked at this person who was different from the God of Wealth, and guessed in his heart what this was?

"Grandma, who is this? It's so ugly?" Chunqiu asked if he didn't understand, and it was a matter of course to ask, anyway, there was no one else around.

"Oh, what are you talking nonsense about this little girl? What's ugly? This is Master Zhong Kui" Yang Li was so frightened that he directly reached out and patted Chunqiu's back, and whispered, "This is the master who protects the safety of the family." Yang Li was very pious when he spoke, which made Chunqiu's careful liver tremble a little, Chunqiu didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now she has a soul through this world, she can't help but not believe it, Chunqiu kept apologizing in his heart to the paper-cutting of Zhong Kui's head: she didn't mean it, I hope that the big man has a lot, and she must forgive her for this little offense.

The ancients believed that people with surprising appearances would have magical skills and extraordinary character. So... Spring and Autumn secretly looked at Master Zhong Kui, who was tried as a treasure by her grandmother, which was indeed quite scary.

Yang Li put Zhong Kui's paper-cut aside reverently, turned to Chunqiu and whispered comfortingly, "Good granddaughter, go play, Grandma is not done yet."

"Grandma, do you really don't need me?" Chunqiu looked at so many paper-cuts in front of her, her grandma couldn't finish pasting here, so if she went out to play with Huzi, she could do it sooner or later, and help grandma finish her work and save grandma to do it herself.

Yang Li shook his head, "What's the use of a good granddaughter, aren't there still a few idlers in the family?" Don't worry, when the time comes, grandma will call others, good granddaughter, you go play quickly" Yang Li said with a smile at Chunqiu.

Seeing that Yang Li really didn't plan to use her appearance, Chunqiu said directly to Yang Li, turned around and walked out of the house.

Huzi, who was sitting at the door, had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when he saw Chunqiu coming out, he directly reached out and grabbed Chunqiu's hand, turned his head and rushed out, "Third sister, you are too slow" Huzi said as he ran forward.

"Oh, you slow down" Chunqiu lowered his head and looked at his feet, his tone was a little worried, this guy's, she hadn't stood firmly, she was pulled out and ran out, what if she fell, if the newly worn clothes were dirty, her mother would have to scold her to death.

"What are you afraid of?" Huzi said without replying, "With me here, third sister, you can rest assured" When Huzi said this, even if Chunqiu couldn't see his expression, he could guess one or two, he must be confident.

What Chunqiu was worried about didn't happen, don't look at the tiger running fast, but people run steadily, those uneven places on both sides of the road Huzi didn't go over, so he pulled Chunqiu to run from the middle of the avenue, here all the year round to drive, the sharp stones were also pressed flat, the two ran all the way to the east entrance of the village, during the period, they also ran into her cousin Chen Xiu'er, Xiu'er's cousin has been pregnant for more than a month, and it is also fast, you know, this is just less than three months of marriage! Xiu'er's cousin was holding firewood at the door and preparing to go back to the house to make a fire to cook, and when Chunqiu and Huzi saw it, they said hello to each other from afar, "Xiu'er cousin"

Chen Xiu'er heard the voice, squinted her eyes and looked around, and then said with a smile, "It's Qiu'er and Huzi, what are you two doing here?"

At this time, the two of them had already run to Chen Xiu'er's side, and several of them were separated by a fence, Chunqiu looked down at the other party's stomach that had not changed much, and said with a smile, "Cousin, let's go to the entrance of the village to play, what about Cousin? Is this going to cook on a fire?" Chunqiu looked at the firewood in each other's arms, frowned and asked. Her cousin is only more than a month pregnant, and I'm afraid it's not good to work at this time.

"No, no" Chen Xiu'er's face was a little red, and she shook her head and said, "It's a little cold in the house, my mother planned to let me go back to the house to lie down, and I was afraid that I would get cold, so I was burning a fire in the house, I saw that the firewood was not enough, so I came out to get some, besides, where can I use it for cooking at home" Thinking of the things that her mother-in-law specially explained before, Chen Xiu'er's heart was sweet, and now the days are official, she can't even dream of it.

After listening to Chen Xiuer's explanation, Chunqiu put away her thoughts, it seems that Aunt Da Niu is still good to her cousin, well, then she doesn't have to tell her grandma.

"Cousin, then let's go play" Chunqiu felt the messy hands on the side, and knew that Huzi couldn't stay still, and hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Xiuer with a smile.

"Go, I'll go back to the house, you two have to be careful with yourselves" Chen Xiuer instructed two words, and several people left separately.

The place at the east end of the village is large, and there are many children gathered, and after the two of them arrived in the spring and autumn, the half-grown children in the village basically ran out.

The people gathered at the entrance of the village, there were girls and boys, after the tiger came, he rushed directly into the pile, Chunqiu learned from the left and right, and then the sharp-eyed Chunliu, Chunqiu smiled and ran directly to the side of Chunliu, who was dressed in red, and reached out and patted Chunliu's back, "Sister Liu'er, you also came" Chunqiu is Aunt Lin's daughter, and she is Chunqiu's cousin, Chunliu and Chunhua are the same age.

"Yes, Qiu'er, you also came to play? That's really good" Chunliu was bored standing alone, and when she heard someone shouting around her, she saw that it was the Spring and Autumn of the fifth grandmother's house, and the two used to play together, and now they are looking forward to a companion, but Chunliu is very happy.

"Well, Sister Liu'er, let's play together then, Sister Liu'er, let's go under the tree, there are too many people here" Chunqiu was a little uncomfortable.

Chunliu is also uncomfortable at this time, there are more children here, and from time to time they deliberately form it on her, Chunliu frowned unhappily, this dress was newly bought by her mother, hearing Chun Qiu's words, Chunliu nodded directly without thinking about it, "Okay, let's go over"

Chunqiu heard Chunliu's reply, hurriedly took Chunliu's little hand, the two slowly moved to a remote corner under the tree, Chunqiu found a clean place, and sat down directly under the handkerchief in his arms, Chunliu also sat down in a decent way after seeing it, Chunqiu bent his legs, and looked at the chirping child in front of him with his chin stunned, but he didn't expect that there was someone she knew here, like the dwarf black little potato who had played the game of grabbing the red flag before, Wang Xiaoshan, and Ershan, and the dog leftover......
