Zhushi Village in 1995 has not yet entered the era of "warm winter".

When he was a child, Lin Yang's deepest memory of winter seemed to be only cold.

A few north winds from the past few years ago, large leaves withered, the ground froze hard, and the streams dried up, and the appearance of winter was perfectly presented.

Some people say that memories are a taste of déjà vu, not a blurry image in the mind.

There are many people and many things, with the passage of time, we can't remember what it was, but we remember the "taste" of the New Year in childhood.

Later, people always like to complain that the Spring Festival is becoming less and less flavorful, that is because we ignore it, in fact, the flavor of the New Year also needs to be inherited......

The Chinese New Year's Eve of 1994 finally arrived as scheduled.

On the door of every household in Zhushi Village, Spring Festival couplets must be pasted. The strongest New Year's flavor in Lin Yang's memory may be the scent of ink wafting when pasting Spring Festival couplets at this moment.

Lin Shizhong brought the benches at home and brushed the paste on both sides of the door.

After a while, he first put the Spring Festival couplets virtually in the position to be pasted, and then asked Lin Yang's two sisters and brothers to judge with the naked eye whether the Spring Festival couplets were corrected or not.

"A little higher on the left."

"A little lower on the right......"

During the Chinese New Year, Lin Shizhong changed his strict image in the past, and his attitude was very good, especially "obeying" the command of Lin Yang's sisters and brothers.

In the end, with the efforts of the father and son, the red Spring Festival couplets were firmly pasted on both sides of the gate.

After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, the things that the children should do are basically completed, and the next thing is to take a bath and wear new clothes.

The New Year's clothes of the family are all "high-end goods" bought by Lin Shizhong and his wife from Guangzhou, of course, the "high-end" referred to here is relatively rural.

I took a comfortable hot bath, as if all the bad luck of the past year had been driven away. Lin Yang put on the new clothes that his parents carefully selected for him, a black cotton pants, and a blue down jacket printed with cartoon animals, the kind with a hat.

A child is always easily satisfied, and a beautiful new dress is enough to be happy for three or five days.

Lin Yang never imagined that when he put on the new clothes that only children wear, stood in front of the closet and looked in the mirror, and looked at the festive and immature children's faces in the mirror, he would regain his long-lost sense of happiness.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are many taboos: grandparents repeatedly warned Lin Yang and Lin Yin that in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they are not allowed to scold or swear; No sweeping and taking out the garbage, and so on. Otherwise, people who will be scolded for a year, swear for a year, and have a year's wealth will be swept away.

Before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Grandpa Lin stood on the shrine in the hall, lit candles and incense, and worshiped a few times.

At this moment, Lin Yang and his sister were silent, and they stood aside respectfully and watched: Grandpa was solemn, in the swaying of the candlelight, bending his slightly hunched back, a pair of calloused hands were folded, trembling against his forehead, bowing and worshipping.

Lin Yang was bathed in the warm candle incense, looking at the wisps of green smoke wafting upwards from the burning incense, and pondering the blessings in his grandfather's heart.

Grandpa's New Year's wish will definitely not be a great wish to pray for good weather in the sky, peace in the country and the people, and peace in the world.

This kind of wish belongs to a great man with a realm, an ordinary old man like grandpa, his New Year's resolution is definitely not so lofty, usually more selfish and practical, and his heart is almost all his expectations for future generations, as well as the happiness and health of the family.

At the end of the ceremony, the grandfather lit an incense stick on the candle, took out a circle of unopened red firecrackers from the cabinet, and teased Lin Yang with a smile: "Do you dare to set off firecrackers?" ”

Lin Hanchi knew very well that his grandson Lin Yang only dared to play with other children's firecrackers with small firepower, and he still had some scruples about this kind of firecracker with huge destructive power.

However, now Lin Yang has long been unafraid of this kind of firecracker, he thought about it, nodded at his grandfather, and quipped: "I dare, the question is ...... Does Grandpa dare me order it? ”

"The little guy is so bold, you dare, grandpa doesn't dare to let you order it!" Lin Hanchi's eyes were full of doting.

In Zhushi Village, the time of setting off firecrackers is very particular, and it is calculated in advance by the elderly people in the village, and then notified to each family.

As soon as the hour arrived, the deafening sound of firecrackers in Zhushi Village rang out......

Zhushi Village is a small village, looking up, surrounded by mountain peaks, hundreds of households set off firecrackers at the same time, instantly drowning the whole village in a cloudy thick smoke, and the piercing sound of firecrackers also echoed repeatedly in the mountains.

Fight the first string of firecrackers in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

It is the annual Chinese New Year's Eve dinner time.

A family of seven, happy and happy, gathered around a table of eight immortals to eat Chinese New Year's Eve.

Grandfather Lin Hanchi is the head of the family, and he naturally has to sit in the position of "top", which is called "rules" in rural dialect.

"New Year's flavor" is the same as the rules, it is an ethereal word, and the reason for its existence is largely based on people's respect and attention to traditional etiquette.

The reason why people feel that the atmosphere of the New Year is not as good as the year is that in the final analysis, it has become not only this era, but also people's mentality, as well as increasingly advanced technology, which makes the whole society impetuous, and also makes people's hearts lazy and become

Knowing that his son Lin Yang's studies are progressing rapidly, and his final exam results are even ranked first in the class, Lin Shizhong and his wife can be regarded as stable.

When he was a child, Lin Yang's most anticipated New Year's link was to "make pressure on New Year's money".

But now, Lin Yang is no longer a child, and his desire for New Year's money is almost zero.

Even so, the grandparents and parents were full of joy to send the New Year's red see to their siblings.

"It's really unruly, grandparents give you red envelopes, and you don't say a word!"

Lin Shizhong is always habitual and likes to seize every opportunity to educate children.

After listening to his father's words, Lin Yang immediately reacted, rushed to his grandparents' luggage with a smile on his face, and said something in his mouth: "I wish my grandparents good health, happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan."

"Good, good! Grandparents also wish you brothers and sisters good health and progress in their studies......"

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was spent in a joyful laughter.

"Others send you New Year's money, don't spend it indiscriminately, whoever sends you a red envelope, you have to tell your mother and your father in time, you know?"

"Got it!" The siblings spoke in unison.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, her mother Zhang Meilan told the two siblings at the right time to avoid accidentally spending all the money for the New Year.

Lin Yang's mother, Zhang Meilan, was just over thirty years old at this time, she was not tall or thin, with delicate facial features, but she often did not use Fan Dai Su to face the sky, giving people the feeling that she was a very ordinary rural woman.

Lin Yang knew very well that most of the "New Year's money" issued by the elders had to be handed over. Mom's rhetoric is always different.

In the past, they were the first to say that they wanted to give each other's children New Year's money, and only the money that did not need to be "returned" was Lin Yang's; Later, he said that the money would be saved for Lin Yang, and it was still his, and as for where it was saved and when it could be used, he didn't know at all. Later, Lin Yang understood that only the New Year's money given by his grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents belonged to him.
