Chinese New Year's Eve every household pasted Spring Festival couplets, Hua Junyao looked at the Spring Festival couplets that had been pasted on the door frame, and unconsciously remembered a few years ago, the revolutionary Spring Festival, when the Spring Festival was pasted, the portrait of Chairman Mao, who had just been put on the market for sale and was still fragrant with printed ink, was indispensable to every household of the people.

"Auntie, what are you looking at?" Xiao Jingheng looked at her and smiled, "This Spring Festival couplet is very familiar! ”

"'Establish Lingyun's ambition and always paint a grand picture, and let the red country be icing on the cake. This is the best way to write it, and it's the closest to the current situation. Xiao Shaoheng smiled.

And now it is time to get rid of chaos and return to normal, and all industries are waiting to be revived. This year's Spring Festival couplets are mostly written around these, keeping up with the tide of the times - especially for many traditional families of "poor middle peasants" who are not literate and have simple feelings, and they are happily and respectfully pasted on the central hall, hall door or gate during the New Year.

They have never forgotten to educate future generations and spur them on to make the red country never change its color and become stronger. It seems that the bold words of the mountains and rivers can really impress the people of that era.

"This couplet has changed a lot. Hua Junyao sighed with emotion.

A few years ago, there was rather a shortage of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and there was no shortage of Chairman Mao's statue posted in the hall. Xiao Chudong said, and said with a smile, "What is this couplet? The most numerous households are not easy to make mistakes, that is: the situation of the Dongfeng Mighty Revolution is infinitely better, and the red flag is new on the production front. ”

Because in the hearts of the people, Chairman Mao pinned everyone's hopes on everyone's future and everyone's future.

"I remember when I posted it, I would first cut four small pieces of red paper about the size of a palm into an "M" shape, and then glued them to the four corners of the rectangular image to expose the two red corners of the "M". Some people are worried that the four corners are too few, and they are not tightly pasted, and they will stick a few more red corners in the middle of the edge of the image, as few as six, as many as eight, to form a pair, symmetrical, practical, but also beautiful, more auspicious. Xia Jingshu gestured in her hand.

Then at least two people reverently and respectfully posted the image on the front wall of the room. On both sides of the portrait are the couplets "Follow the Communist Party and listen to Chairman Mao". Xiao Shaoheng said with a smile.

In the era of "political commanders," "politics first" was necessary in everything we did, and the drafting of couplets was no exception, and the "political significance" should first be highlighted. For example: "Long live the three red flags;

"Socialism is flourishing, and the people are deeply rooted."

In those days, due to the constraints of conditions, every year during the Spring Festival, the people would rather not change any of the dilapidated household utensils in their homes, and the conditions allowed that they should have bought new ones, but the Spring Festival couplets must be replaced! It carries the owner's good luck for the coming year.

The era has entered the 21st century, and many ordinary families have hung a portrait of Mao Zedong during the Chinese New Year. And because of the good conditions in all aspects, the post is more delicate and beautiful. They believe that Chairman Mao is a "god" who can bless the safety of his family, good luck in and out, and smooth career.

The imprint of the times is hard to erase. There are always people who want to keep what should be kept, and what should be left will naturally be discarded.

However, those new people of the new generation who have a unique sense of reform and opening up have seen a good opportunity to change the country and their own destiny from another perspective -- "if you want to be well-off and go on the road first, you must make great strides to rejuvenate the country as soon as possible." They must make great efforts, lead the times, blaze new trails, and become rich and prosperous.

The small Spring Festival couplets reflect the changes of the times, and what remains unchanged is the people's expectations for a better life.

From the 23rd day of the lunar month, that is, the day of the new year, every household, the streets and alleys, began to spread the taste of the coming year. At this time, almost all families come to celebrate the Spring Festival according to this spring custom, the Spring Festival is the happiest day for children, and they can eat all kinds of snacks that are usually difficult to eat, and they can also receive precious New Year's money.

Throughout the first half of the 70s, the theme of Spring Festival entertainment was relatively monotonous, with model plays, revolutionary songs, revolutionary dance dramas, revolutionary films, and documentaries continuing for almost ten years. In 77, the situation changed a lot, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival began to come alive, with sports performances, temple fairs, dance parties, poetry parties, theatrical evenings, concerts, and even in-house movies. Spring Festival performances are also enriched.

In the late 70s, people wearing various hats took off their hats, relatives and friends who did not dare to go back and forth resumed contact, blue ants and green military uniforms to bell bottoms and suits, one-color model operas, revolutionary songs to "Hometown Love" and pop songs, movies from "Shangganling" and "Entrepreneurship" to "Manhunt" and "Notre Dame de Paris", from "going to the mountains and going to the countryside to receive education" to "resuming the college entrance examination", from overthrowing "US imperialism" to "establishing diplomatic relations between China and the United States", from closure to reform and opening up. The change in the way of life under confinement seems to happen in an instant.

The opening words of the 70s were "Welcome the great 70s with revolutionary pride" and the slogan "Have a revolutionary and militant Spring Festival" that lasted until 1977.

In the early 70s, the slogans put forward for the Spring Festival were: "China should make a greater contribution to mankind" and "strict economy, no waste".

Now the Spring Festival is gradually becoming more humane, and even the couplets are there: "Celebrate the Spring Festival with joy, and welcome the Long March with strength", "The beautiful scenery of the four modernizations is inspiring, and the spring breeze of the communiqué is shining on the earth"

For ordinary people, when greeting each other during the New Year, the most common words they say are "Happy New Year".

People are hungry to absorb the joy of life, and taste the warmth of the Spring Festival brought by the reunion after the "rectification of chaos" and the exchange of visits by relatives and friends. The Spring Festival, which represents the highest tradition of the humane society, has finally returned.

The 70s were the age of tickets. What food stamps, cloth stamps, oil stamps, sugar stamps, meat stamps, etc., all things are supplied by tickets, and they are also limited supplies. At that time, eating meat was an important symbol for people to measure their living standards, and they could only eat meat during the New Year's holidays.

Now there is more variety of food. In the Spring Festival market, liquor has been put on the market one after another, large walnut chocolate, plum candy and other production resumed, and 11 new products such as egg biscuits, crispy biscuits, special cakes, and chocolate candy candy were arranged for production and supply.

Of course, the premise is that your purse is full.

"It's done, it's time to wash your hands and have lunch. Chu Meiqin lifted the curtain and called them.

"Hey! Xiao Jingheng responded.

The lunch of the thirtieth was very rich, Chu Meiqin, Xiao Shunmei, star fruit, Xia Jingshu and they tried their best to make more tricks.

There are fish and meat to be the first festival, and the New Year's dinner presents a change from poverty to abundance, from gastrointestinal monotony to gluttony.

The two families got together to finish lunch, and the women gathered around the kang to talk and make dumplings. On the evening of the thirtieth day, after eating the thirty dumplings, the men played cards, and the women still sat on the kang and chatted.

"Chu Bei's family, if you can't hold it, go to bed first, you don't have to stay up with us until twelve o'clock. Chu Meiqin looked at Hua Junyao, who kept her head a little bit.

Hua Junyao opened her eyes and said, "Are you going to fire the cannon?"

"Hehe......" everyone on the kang laughed.

"There's still an hour. Xiao Shunmei smiled, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, don't stay up here." ”

"No, there's still an hour, and it's time to wake up again. Hua Junyao opened her eyes vigorously and said, the days are good, and now people like to set off firecrackers like they are obsessed.

"Yes, then it's going to hold on for a while. Xia Jingshu said with a smile, "Why don't I cook some dumplings and drink some soup, and the people will be in good spirits and warm." ”

"Okay!" Hua Junyao rubbed her cheeks and said soberly.

Xia Jingshu and star fruit, went to cook some dumplings, drank some soup after eating dumplings, and in the blink of an eye, this hour was over, seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, Xiao Chudong urged the boys to hurry up and hang firecrackers, set off firecrackers, don't go too far.

Xiao Jingheng pinched the point and lit the firecrackers, at this time there were many people in the village who did not sleep, and the crackling firecrackers ushered in the first day of the new year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Wanquan led the man to worship his ancestors first, after eating dumplings, greeting the New Year, saying beautiful auspicious words, and taking the New Year's money from the elders.

"Chu Bei's family, this is yours. Chu Meiqin handed Hua Junyao a new unity.

"I have it too?" Hua Junyao said unexpectedly.

"The new daughter-in-law has been in the door for the first year, and there will be no you next year. Chu Meiqin said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, who said that you should have a doll in your belly next year, and your grandson will give you New Year's money. Xiao Shunmei joked with a smile.

"Hehe......" everyone laughed.

"Alright, alright, you juniors should hurry up and go to the village to pay New Year's greetings!" Xiao Wanquan waved his hand and blasted them.

Xia Jingshu helped Hua Junyao out and went to the village to pay New Year's greetings, this family was about to go to the captain's house, Xia Jingshu stopped, "Brother and sister, this is going to Captain Lei's house?"

"It's okay, we'll just stop and go. Hua Junyao then said, "I go every year for the Chinese New Year, but if I don't go now, it seems that I have a weak heart." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go together, there must be a lot of New Year's greetings, and no one will notice us." Xia Jingshu comforted herself, raised her voice and shouted, the boys running ahead, everyone went to pay New Year's greetings together.

As Hua Junyao guessed, there were many people in the Lei family to pay New Year's greetings, and Lei Mancang also had to go to the village to pay New Year's greetings door to door, so when Hua Junyao and the others arrived at the Lei family, they had already gone to the village.

Hua Junyao and the others simply left the Lei family after the New Year, and went to other houses in the village, saying 'Happy New Year!' all the way.

In such a small village, I haven't seen Lei Mancang, so it's okay, it's better not to see each other.

When I returned to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Hua family had a large population, and it was a lively activity.

Crooked on the kang, Hua Junyao looked at no one in the house, mainly Nian Juying instructed, don't bother her, she has been busy chattering for the past two days, she must not have rested well, let her sleep well.

Hua Junyao whispered in Nian Juying's ear, "Mother, second brother and second sister-in-law, there is no discomfort in my heart!"
