On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Wang Wenhu finally closed the door of the repair shop and returned to his hometown with his wife and children for the New Year. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chen Shuying has come back a few days ago to clean the house inside and out, this is the 'sweeping house' in some local customs, this is a traditional custom, since the Tang Dynasty, before the Chinese New Year, people around the country began to clean, all the places in the room have to be cleaned, and some families even have to move the box outside to dry it, which means to go to the bad luck Tujili.

Wang Wenhu's bungalow was built on a piece of land 10 meters wide and 60 meters long, which was the standard land approved by the village at that time, and it was the same for every family, and it was only after 2010 that it was changed to 15 meters wide and 30 meters long. Therefore, Wang Wenhu's house as a whole is 'L' shaped, the innermost is a small courtyard, there is a toilet in the small courtyard, and in front of the courtyard are two bedrooms next to each other, one is where Wang Wenhu and his wife live, there is Zhang Dakang and the furniture they used when they got married, and there is a bed in the other room of the same size, on which the three brothers and sisters sleep. Wang Qiang's bedroom is a living room in front of them, saying that the living room is actually a place to put sundries, the side of the living room leads directly to the front yard, and the living room goes forward to try the kitchen, and the front yard is the place next to the living room and the kitchen, which is rectangular.

The overall length of the building of Wang Wenhu's house is almost more than 30 meters, and the remaining 30 meters are reserved for the future if needed.

The family was very happy when they moved into their new house.

"The house is so clean that I don't want to go to town anymore," Chen said.

"If you don't go to town, how can you afford to build such a big house?" Wang Wenhu said.

"You can't let me complain," Chen Shuying dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, you can send it," Wang Wenhu said with a smile.

"Why are you so annoying," Chen Shuying laughed.

Seeing that his parents were arguing, Wang Qiang and his sister Wang Jing were laughing beside him, only his sister Wang Qing didn't know what was going on, and looked at his sister and brother and also smirked.

Although she had already cleaned the house, Chen Shuying took the children to clean the house again after coming back.

When the Chinese New Year's Eve was thirty, Wang Wenhu went to the ancestral tomb to invite the ancestors (during the New Year, he would ask the deceased elders to come back for the New Year, and then send them back to the grave on the fifteenth day of the New Year), and after returning with Chen Shuying, he lit candles and burned incense for the various gods worshiped at home, including the Lord of the Land, the Lord of the Stove, the God of Wealth, the God of Cang, the God of Heaven, and two door gods, and then set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year.

After doing all this, the family went to the grandparents' house for dinner with the prepared meals, and the grandmother also made a few dishes, and the whole family sat together and chatted while eating, chatting about this year's harvest and what plans for the coming year. During this period, Wang Qiang's three brothers and sisters also had to kowtow to their grandparents and receive New Year's money. When it was almost eight o'clock, the family returned to their new home to make dumplings to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

You can't sleep until after 12 o'clock, which is commonly known as "keeping the year", but when Wang Qiang was a child, he fell asleep every time he stayed up, and then he was taken to the room by his parents to sleep.

After setting off firecrackers and eating dumplings at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, Wang Qiang's three brothers and sisters began to visit the door to ask for New Year's money. The parents waited at home for the children of the uncle's family to ask for money.

Since the second year of junior high school, Wang Qiang began to go to relatives with his family, and during the Chinese New Year, relatives always took the best to entertain the guests, and they had to give the children they brought New Year's money. Although this amount of money is not much for Wang Qiang, a 10,000-yuan household, and it will be 'kept' by his parents after the New Year, the fun of receiving New Year's money when he was a child will not be forgotten for many years.

During the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of children in the village, and they all come out to play together, and no matter how cold the weather is, it seems that it can't stop the children's enthusiasm for the New Year. Some punch bags (sew a cube with rag pieces, fill it with sand or corn and seal it,) two people use sandbags to hit the middle person, hit but are not caught by the middle person to get one point, and the middle person catches the other party one point; These games are the product of the lack of entertainment in that era, and are a symbol of children's wisdom, which not only exercises the body but also increases the fun.

Wang Qiang's family has many relatives, and he went to Wang Qiang's uncle's house and grandmother's house in the second year of junior high school. Because his uncle's house was far away, Wang Qiang and his father went to his uncle's house in the morning, his mother Chen Shuying took his sister Wang Jing and sister Wang Qing to his grandmother's house, and in the afternoon, Wang Qiang's father and son rushed over again; on the third day of junior high school, Wang Qiang's house received relatives on the fourth day of junior high school, and several aunts' houses were going to go to the house on the fifth and sixth days of junior high school, and there were still aunts' houses on the seventh day of junior high school. It wasn't until the seventh day of the new year that I basically finished, and some of the days that were particularly far away didn't go, and I had to make up for it later.

At that time, there was only one bicycle at home, and it was very cold to go to a relative's house in winter, so I had to get up at eight o'clock every day, and then go separately to different relatives' houses.

For the rest of the day, Wang Qiang's family stayed at home, except for his father Wang Wenhu, who started to open a store in the town, and would not go to live in the town until the Lantern Festival.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the same as the New Year, and there is a saying in the north that "the fifteenth day of the first month is the first fifteenth day of the first month", which means that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month should be more lively than the first day of the first lunar month. At that time, there were very few fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and fireworks were also a luxury for people at that time, at most, parents bought some small fireworks for their children. But farmers also have their own way of celebrating the Lantern Festival, many people will use waste paper to make Kong Ming lanterns, buy some diesel fuel and light them and release them. The children cheered when they saw the Kong Ming lantern flying high, and some children also formed several people to chase the Kong Ming lantern together, not to mention, there were really some chasing when the wind was not strong, but most of them would spontaneously combust during the landing.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather slowly became warmer, Wang Qiang and his sister Wang Jing also began to prepare for school, and after arriving in the town, Wang Wenhu's repair shop has been open for more than a week.

"You're finally here, I've been eating in the restaurant for the past few days, and I'm about to vomit," Wang Wenhu exaggerated.

"Eating too much food in the restaurant is not good for your health, don't you know how to cook some food by yourself, you are just lazy," Chen Shuying said.

"I'm not as delicious as you make," Wang Wenhu hurriedly flattered.

"Okay, I'll cook for you at noon," Chen Shuying said, "I only brought some things that I could carry, and some of them were thrown at home, and you had time to ride your bicycle home to pick them up." ”

"Okay, no problem, you and the children can hurry up and go inside to rest" Wang Wenhu saw that someone drove to repair it again, and hurriedly said.

Chen Shuying brought the children into the store, put away the things they brought, and turned around to help her husband without resting.

With Wang Qiang's sister and brother going to school, life has begun to get on track again.
