"The first morning of the first year, the second morning of the first year, and the third day of the first year are full of sleepiness: the fourth day of the first year is fried, the fifth day of the first year is married, and the sixth day of the first year is the butt of the child in the window; The seventh touch of the first eight, the eighth touch of the first nine, respect the heavenly father; The eleventh day of the first lunar month......

In the house, Le Lang read the playful sayings about the New Year that he heard when he was a child, while pulling up the hazy Saburo who was still asleep, brushing his teeth and washing his face, and then came to the front hall to eat sweet noodles.

Southern Fujian custom "On the first day of the new year, you must eat red and sweet noodles boiled with sugar, which has the meaning of longevity and sweetness to the end of the year."

In fact, there are no elders in the Lelang family, otherwise yesterday and this Chinese New Year's Eve would not have been like this. In the local custom, at twelve o'clock in the evening, you have to worship God, that is, you can only sleep after worshipping the old and welcoming the new, but there are no elders in the Lelang family, and Shaoqing has not officially passed the door, so these things are gone.

Lao Dao and Naruto also came over early to eat noodles, after eating, Lao Dao and Naruto were going to help in the Taoist temple, the two of them drew a lot of talismans this year, Naruto was not worried about Lao Dao, and he also wanted to take a look. Don't sell out of talismans by then, and you won't get a penny.

After eating the noodles, Lao Michi and Naruto left. Le Lang also took Shaoqing and San Lang to drive down the mountain on a motorcycle.

On the first day of the new year, men and women from ten miles and eight towns will go to the temple to burn incense, and it is very lively.

Temple fairs originated from sacrifices in ancient times. In ancient times, "sacrifice is a frequent and significant event in people's lives, so in the "Thirteenth Year of the Thirteenth Year of the Reign of Zuo Chuan", it is said that "the major events of the country are in the worship and Rong", which means that sacrifice is the top priority in the life of the country like war.

The early sacrifices were mainly sacrifices to ancestors and the gods of heaven and earth. When sacrificing ancestors and the gods of heaven and earth, "people gather together and carry out some activities" such as offering offerings, playing music, holding rituals, etc., this kind of sacrifice to the gods and the production of *** is the prototype of the later folk temple fair. In fact, this can also be seen from the two Chinese characters for "temple fair" itself, which originally referred to a building dedicated to the gods, especially the ancestral gods.

The temple fair originated around the temple, so it is called "temple"; And because the small traders and vendors saw that there were many people who burned incense and worshiped the gods, "they set up all kinds of stalls outside the temple to make money, and gradually became a regular activity", so it was called "hui". Over time, the "temple fair" has evolved into an entertainment activity during the festival, especially during the Spring Festival.

When Le Lang took Le Lang and Shaoqing to the temple, it was already crowded.

The road in front of the temple was already full of large and small cars, "and the cars were parked along the bank of the stream, like a long dragon." Several old men held red flags and commanded the parking, "I saw that the car parked there had not yet driven out, and another car drove in."

On both sides of the road, there are small stalls, which are placed for a long time, until the other side of the bridge, there are food, clothing, and play on the stalls, and there are all kinds of things such as gold paper and incense for worship.

In front of the temple, a long table was set up on the field, and a large incense burner was placed on the table, "behind which are rows of eight immortal tables, which are specially arranged in the temple in order to let the men and women who come to burn incense put things."

Standing outside and looking at it from a distance, "I saw a cloud of white mist in the temple rolling up like a cloud dragon", straight into the sky. This is the incense lit by the worshippers in the temple and the cigarettes that burn gold paper.

The first month of every year is the most lively day in the temple, and a large number of men and women come to worship, which is very lively. Of course, the happiest are the old men in the village, who have a lot of sesame oil money. However, the sesame oil money in the temple is not the private property of the old people in the temple, but is used by the old people for public use. Every year, the old people's association will take out most of the money to pave bridges and roads, help the widows and orphans, and benefit the people, "they have never secretly favored more than half a penny" The whereabouts of each money will be written clearly, posted in front of the temple, in their hearts, greedy for the money of the gods, after death will go to eighteen layers of hell. Of course, this is also due to the atmosphere of Xiaoxi Village, if it is anywhere else, no matter whose money it is, it is true that it is put in one's own pocket.

"Thank you to the letter girl Xiuru for adding 100 yuan of oil, so that the gods can protect her family and make a lot of money; Thanks to the letter man Lin Muquan for adding 20 yuan of oil, so that the gods can protect his whole family in peace and happiness and make a lot of money; Thank you to the woman Che Muru for adding 300 yuan of oil, so that the gods can protect her family and make a lot of money."

The loudspeaker in front of the temple came the sound of who added how much oil, I heard that this is to say that in the first month of the year, four old people need to take turns to replace, the average person has to speak for more than two hours in a row, from here you can see the prosperity of the incense in the temple.

Le Lang took Shaoqing and San Lang to go in and take a look, but they couldn't squeeze in, and after a look, there were already people inside, and when they saw that they couldn't get in, they had to worship outside.

At the entrance of the temple, a large group of half-sized boys guarded here" As soon as they saw a pilgrim coming out with firecrackers, they rushed to grab it, took it and hung it on a wire outside, and put it up. San Lang saw it, and he was also eager to try, "I want to set off firecrackers" Le Lang grabbed his little hand tightly and didn't dare to let it go.

This is something that Le Lang did when he was a child.

When I was a child, "I thought it was quite a man and a hero to set off a cannon, so I rushed to fire it with others." Once, he was accidentally hit by the red mud behind the firecracker, and another time he was accidentally burned by the gunpowder in the firecracker and half of his palm was swollen. Of course, "this thing can't be said even if you are killed, so you can only break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach."

has such a lesson from the past" How could Le Lang let San Lang go, so after worshipping in front of the temple, he took Shaoqing and San Lang to Shen Min's house.

Shen Min's mother and wife went to burn incense, and his father didn't know where to run, leaving him alone to guard the house. The first day of the Lunar New Year or the seven days of the Spring Festival are all women's activities, "these days, they will go to various temples in groups of threes, twos, or threes or fives to burn incense and worship, and by the way, take their daughters-in-law or daughters to meet and know the elders, talk and communicate." Shen Min, his mother and wife, they even brought the Nannan, Le Lang originally came over to give the Nan Nan a red envelope, but when he saw that the Nan Nan was not there, he kept it for another day, but San Lang got several red envelopes, which were prepared by Shen Min's family a long time ago.

Le Lang sat in Shen Min's house for a while, "Then he took Shaoqing and San Lang and left." Out of Shenmin's house, Le Lang took Shaoqing and San Lang to the distillery, and during the Spring Festival, Lao Zhong and they were still in the factory, "strange and hard", he took some things to condole.

Lao Zhong was a lonely person, and after coming to the winery, he simply took the factory as his home. However, he still ate his Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year at his husband's ancestor, after all, his husband's ancestor is his only relative. My husband and their family saw Zhao Zhong alone, and they would invite him over to the fireplace every year, "He can't go over if he doesn't come." Originally, Le Lang told them to go to the fireplace last night with peace of mind. After all, there are still Xiaoxiong and Baiqiu here, and they are not afraid of anyone coming. However, Lao Zhong and Li Xiong did not listen to him, but went separately to the hearth.

In fact, the winery is not afraid of being stolen at all. There is only one way down from the winery, if someone comes to steal something, "it is simply looking for death, there is only such a road here, and you can't run when you see it" Make a phone call, the whole village will come out to chase, which nearby village does not know the ferocity of the people of Xiaoxi Village, "If you catch a thief, you will not send it out, but throw it on the road after a violent beating, as for what will happen in the future, no one cares."

Li Xiong's wife and daughter also went to the temple to offer incense today, and his son was bored at home, so he ran here to play" When Le Lang came in, he saw him squatting next to Xiaoxiong and touching it, and he was not afraid of being bitten by the house.

Le Lang rode a motorcycle to the inside, "put the car, walked to the duty room, and handed over the things he brought to Lao Zhong." It was some vegetables, meat and fruits to eat, and Lao Zhong took it after seeing it. Le Lang often brings something over, and he also knows that he has a lot of things, and he doesn't care too much, so he should honor his old man.

Lao Zhong put his things away, and in a blink of an eye, he saw San Lang looking around with his eyes open, so he shouted at him: San Lang come here. ”

San Lang listened and walked over and shouted, "Grandpa" Lao Zhong smiled and took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket, and Li Xiong next to him also took out two red envelopes from his pocket and stuffed them. Saburo saw it and laughed happily over there.

Le Lang touched his honest head, and he also took out two red envelopes from his pocket, and said to Lao Zhong and Li Xiong: "It's the New Year, Happy New Year, this is for you to make a fortune safely." Li Xiong and Lao Zhong both shirked when they saw it, and said seriously, "There is food and drink in this factory, a salary higher than that of ordinary people, and what year-end bonus will be given, which is something that they never dreamed of, and now they will pay it back, so how embarrassed they can accept it." And look at this red envelope, bulging, you don't need to look at it to know that there is a lot of money in it.

Seeing that the three of them couldn't refuse, Shaoqing said to the side: "Uncle, you can accept it" This is also a little bit of Ah Lang's heart. It's the Spring Festival, and I want you to stay here, and it's hard for you. ”

"Where, where, that's how it should be." After listening to Shaoqing's words, the two glanced at each other before putting them away.

At this time, Li Xiong's son ran over and shouted happily to Li Xiong: "Dad, Xiaoxiong let me touch it." ”

Li Xiong's son fell in love with him at first sight when he saw Xiaoxiong in the factory, but at first Xiaoxiong didn't let him get close, but then he saw that he had no malicious intent, so he relaxed and let him touch it.! ~！
