At this moment, there is a large circle of people in the courtyard, all of whom are holding meat skewers in their hands, grilling the meat skewers they are holding in their hands, while waiting for the coming year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before twelve o'clock on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, one person must be left to come down to observe the New Year, but the group of people around him is crazy, and they are not sleepy at all. I had to let them stay and keep a barbecue while keeping the New Year.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, you should keep the New Year, that is, do not sleep at night and wait for the arrival of the new year.

There is actually a reason why every family must keep the New Year. This is because there is such a story among the people of our country:

In ancient times, there was a fierce beast that lived deep in the mountains and dense forests, and people called them "Nian". "Nian" changes its flavor every day, from small insects to large living people, and eats everything. People are afraid of "years".

Slowly, people grasp the rules of activity of the year. It comes down every three hundred and sixty-five days to eat people, and it always comes out after dark. When the rooster crowed, he returned to the forest.

After calculating the wreaking date of the year, everyone called this terrible night "New Year's Pass". Every night, people prepare dinner in advance, turn off the lights, put out the fire, and close the chickens, cattle and other animals and tie them tightly, and then seal the doors of their homes and hide at home to eat "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner". After dinner, no one dared to sleep, huddled together to chat and strengthen their courage.

"Nian" ran out, and saw that the doors of every house were closed, and there was no one on the street, so he had to leave.

The people who survived the "New Year" were overjoyed, opened the gates one after another, and set off fireworks and firecrackers to congratulate each other on not being eaten by the New Year.

Later, people knew that Nian was afraid of red, light, and sound. Since then, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, people paste red paper, wear red clothes, and set off firecrackers, so that the New Year does not dare to come.

With such a story that has been left far away, the habit of keeping the New Year is deeply imprinted in people's hearts, so there is the current New Year's Guard.

While drinking wine, I ate the skewers in my hand, not to mention the good taste.

After a long time, that is, more than half an hour or so, there were bursts of cheers in the village, and there were bursts of firecrackers in this cheer. The people in the village who were already asleep also woke up one after another.

Twelve o'clock came, that is, the New Year ushered in. The people put down what they were still holding.

After washing the oil stains on his hands with clean water, Liu Huaxuan went to the hall and took out the couplets that had been taken out and a long string of firecrackers.

Then, with the crowd following and cheering, Yu'er lit the string of firecrackers again.

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, and after a while, the firecrackers had already burned out, and a red carpet had been laid on the ground.

After burning the firecrackers, it also heralded the beginning of the new year, and Ye took everyone to post couplets. These couplets were reduced one by one in the hand, and the door was already pasted with red and bright couplets.

……………

They didn't sleep until late last night, and they seemed to be lacking in energy this morning. The others were fine, but only Ye and Yu'er, two ordinary people who had no internal strength, felt a little tired.

Especially Yu'er, she really wanted to sleep a little longer, but this New Year's taboo is to wake people up, so she has to get up too.

Putting on a beautiful and festive padded jacket, Yu'er quickly washed up with the help of the maid.

There were no fancy things for breakfast, and some were just noodles.

Because noodles have a good meaning, long noodles, also called longevity noodles, eat it in the New Year, and wish a long life of a hundred years. So on the day of the New Year, Yip asked his subordinates to prepare these noodles for breakfast.

Although it was just one noodle, they still ate it with relish.

Touching her round belly, Yu'er burped contentedly.

Now that breakfast had been used, Liu Huaxuan took out a long firecracker and hung it outside the courtyard. It is still Yu'er, the little girl, who lit this firecracker.

Returning to the main hall, Ye took out seven red and colorful purses from his wide sleeves, "'Wu Yuan' Xiaoying, Xuan'er, Yu'er, all of you come here." As she spoke, Ye Shi didn't forget to wave to them.

Looking at Ye's posture, everyone knew what she wanted to do, and they all walked over obediently.

The group stood in front of Ye's side, Ye smiled and was very happy, and then divided the red envelopes one by one.

Liu Huaxuan stuffed the red envelope she received into her arms, no matter how much, it was a piece of heart.

Baili Wuyuan, who received a red envelope for the first time in his life, looked at the red envelope in his hand and was slightly stunned. The rest of the four Yi Ye were the same, they had never received a red envelope again, and they had never understood why those people were so happy after receiving the red envelope.

Seeing their stunned appearance, Liu Huaxuan gently poked the hundred miles of Wuyuan standing beside him with his arm.

As soon as he met him, he came back to his senses, and then hurriedly thanked the Ye family. The same goes for the rest of the four.

Yu'er held the first red envelope in her hand, and this red envelope was also the first red envelope she received. When I was in the old house before, let alone a copper plate, I didn't even touch a red envelope.

Mother, almost all the money she got from embroidering and selling was handed over to her grandmother, and even the copper plates that she secretly saved sand were all snatched away by them. Mother, she wants to seal a red envelope for herself, but she is also willing but powerless.

So, now that she received her first red envelope, she carefully stuffed this red envelope into her arms like a baby. Then he gently patted the place where the red envelope was located through the padded jacket, and his face was satisfied.

After giving the seven of them red envelopes, Ye walked upstairs with a smile.

She went back to her room and stuffed all the red envelopes that had been prepared into a small bag, and then picked up the bag and walked downstairs.

After arriving downstairs, the Ye family gave a red envelope to everyone in the family, which is everyone's share and will never be lost.

The subordinates who received the red envelope all saluted Ye and her, and also said a word of blessing sincerely.

walked out of the courtyard gate and stepped on the red carpet made of firecracker slag. Liu Huaxuan could feel the strong New Year's breath wafting in the air.

There were a lot of children on the road, and they ran to the homes of people they knew to ask for candy. If it's a little better, the family will also seal a red envelope for these children.

This is what children like to do the most, and when they go to other people's homes, they not only have candy to eat, but also red envelopes, and they like it very much.
