In order not to affect the atmosphere of the family's New Year, Xu Xiangwan didn't ask much, and after Zhang's fried the side dishes, he served the meal on the table. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are a total of nine hot dishes in the twelve dishes, one cold dish, one pot of soup, and one snack.

The hot dishes are sauerkraut fish, garlic hot chicken, konjac roast duck, assorted shredded tripe, boiled pork slices, shredded leek pork, steamed mutton, roasted pork with dried cowpeas, and stir-fried spinach. Cold dishes are husband and wife lung slices. One soup is pea tip egg drop soup. The snack is the fried dumplings in the afternoon.

Looking at such a large table of sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not only the old man Sanjin was hungry, but even Goro couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

In addition to the meal, Zhang's also warmed two pots of mash rice wine, although it is not stronger than the official wine sold outside, but it is sweet in the mouth, and the hands and feet are warm and not intoxicating after drinking, but it is more popular with children.

The custom in Ganquan County is that the Chinese New Year's Eve meal should be eaten slowly and for a long time, and the longer you eat, the more blessed you will be in the coming year.

Although there were many twists and turns on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family's mood was not greatly affected, sitting in the warm room while chatting and eating, and the festive and lively atmosphere infected everyone.

A meal was eaten from the time of the lamp to the end of the third watch, and almost everyone ate until their stomachs were stretched.

After the meal, Zhang's mother and daughter were responsible for cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, while Gorou and Wuwu helped wipe the table and sweep the floor, and after a while, the work was done, and the broom was hidden, and the wooden bucket for the dirty water was prepared.

The custom in Ganquan County is that you can't see a broom on the first day of the Lunar New Year, otherwise you will have bad luck in the coming year. At the same time, you can't pour dirty water on the ground, for fear that if you dirty the earth dragon, you won't be able to get a good harvest in the coming year.

Adhering to the idea of trusting it, the people near Ganquan County have followed these customs for generations, and dare not ignore them in the slightest.

After everything was sorted out, Zhang began to boil hot water for everyone to bathe.

After the separation, at Xu Xiangwan's suggestion, two large wooden barrels were prepared at home, and there were many empty rooms at home, which could be used for men and women to wash separately.

After everyone washed up, Xu Xiangwan and Xu Qiuyi brought charcoal braziers, candy and snacks and put them in the living room to prepare for the New Year.

The old man sat crookedly on a chair covered with cotton cushions, supporting his head with one hand and yawning at the same time.

Wu Wu chose a chair far away from the brazier to sit on, crossed Erlang's legs, and played with the folding fan in his hand for a while, making people feel as if this was not a cold winter, but a hot summer.

Zhang grabbed candy, melon seeds, peanuts and other things into several plates and put them in front of everyone.

When the old man was bored, he took out a worn-out book from his arms, put it on the table, called Xu Xiangwan over, and turned a page at random and pointed to the picture on it to let her identify the herbs.

Seeing that the old man Sanjin took out a book, his carefree eyes flashed with excitement, but after seeing the words on it, he returned to normal and began to chat with Gorou with a match.

Zhang and Xu Qiuyi are not people who talk much, and because there are guests at home, many things are not good to say in front of them, so they took out needles and threads and started to do them.

Xiao Jiu saw that no one was playing with him, and he didn't make a fuss, so he obediently took out the pen and ink from the house and began to practice calligraphy.

After hearing that Gorou was going to be admitted to Tingtao Academy in the coming year, a flash of surprise flashed in Sansso's eyes, but he didn't say anything, but instead began to discuss academic matters with Gorou.

Each family has its own things, three people in piles, two people in pairs, talking while eating snacks, happy and happy.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and fireworks welcome the new year.

In the sound of firecrackers, Xu Xiangwan's family also ushered in the new year.

At the beginning of the new year, one of the first things to do is set off firecrackers.

In view of the fact that the firecrackers are too dangerous, Wuwu takes the initiative to ask for his life and asks Gorou to hand over the firecrackers to him to put them.

Gorou was not polite, and after a few words of advice, he directly gave the firecracker to Wuwu and let him put it at ease. With such a clever kung fu as worry-free, it is naturally impossible to have any danger in setting off firecrackers.

After the firecrackers were released, everyone couldn't hold it anymore, and after leaving an oil lamp in the living room and dining room, they went to bed one after another.

The old man of Sanjin and Wuwu slept in two rooms, one bright and one dark, in the east wing, which were spotlessly cleaned, and the bedding was all new, so it was naturally a good night's sleep.

New Year, New Weather, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Xiangwan's family wore a new look inside and out.

The old man Sanjin and Wuwu came empty-handed, so naturally they didn't bring any clothes, shoes and socks, but Zhang and Xu Qiuyi rushed two cotton clothes to change into for the two of them last night.

Xu Xiangwan is wearing a pink cotton skirt today, covered with a red cardigan, tied in two small buns, wrapped in red cloth, the sideburns on both sides of the ears are braided, and only a circle of long hair is scattered on the back of the head, plus exquisite facial features, pink and white cheeks, which are even more lovely than the Guanyin virgin in the New Year painting.

Looking at Xu Xiangwan, who was smiling happily, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, he ate rice balls, and after eating rice balls, Zhang led his family to prepare to go to Yinlong Temple to offer incense.

After eating the rice balls, the old man of Sanjin went back to the quilt, and he didn't want to move at all, so he naturally didn't plan to go to the incense with Xu Xiangwan and them.

Xu Xiangwan hid all the valuable things by herself, except for her, even the Zhang family couldn't find it, so naturally she wouldn't worry about what the old man Sanjin would do at home alone.

Before a few people arrived at the Silver Dragon Temple, they had already heard the noise of cars and horses.

The Yinlong Temple, which is clean on weekdays, is like a lively street market.

Zhang said hello to Xu Xiangwan and the others beforehand, and did not let them walk around, and if they were separated, they would wait under the banyan tree outside the gate of Yinlong Temple.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Xiangwan was squeezed out of the crowd, because there were many people in each hall, Xu Xiangwan was small, and he was so crowded that he almost couldn't breathe, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a moon door in the corner, so he squeezed through, and came to a plum forest through the moon gate.

A courtyard wall, as if isolating a world, is completely inaudible to the hustle and bustle, which is amazing.

Smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms, Xu Xiangwan couldn't help but take a deep breath and sighed: "Finally, the ears are clean, it's really a good place." ”

"Amitabha, the ears are pure, but not the six roots, this is a place to meditate, not a place where the donor should come. A voice came from the depths of Merlin that couldn't tell whether it was old or young, which frightened Xu Xiangwan's heart.

"Who? Who is pretending to be a ghost over there?" "This is a pure land of Buddhism, there shouldn't be anything unclean, right?" Xu Xiangwan thought uncertainly.

The voice said again: "The poor monk carefully cultivated this Merlin before his death, it was for the realm of bliss after sitting, and the donor trespassed without permission and disturbed the purity of the poor monk. ”

Xu Xiangwan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after reacting to the other party's meaning, he was first taken aback, and then after thinking about it, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You just pretend, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." But don't worry, whether you're a human or a ghost, I'm not interested in disturbing your good work. ”

In broad daylight, it is a pure land of Buddhism, and Xu Xiangwan is stupid to believe that there are ghosts here. (To be continued.) )
