Chapter 42 Chinese New Year
Before I knew it, another month had passed, and I saw that the New Year was coming, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. Because everyone needs to prepare New Year's goods for the New Year, the town is even more lively, and several temple fairs have been held.
Chunyu's shop was also closed, and the family began to prepare for the New Year's goods.
This is the first year since Chunyu came here, so naturally it is very important. It's just that she used to be lonely and lonely during the Chinese New Year, and she didn't even bother to make dumplings by herself, but went to the supermarket to buy quick-frozen dumplings, ate them casually, and stayed in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Yes, she has this convention, like a
The elderly generally eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala. However, Chunyu attaches great importance to it, but he doesn't know anything about things here. Fortunately, Chunyu has some narrow memories of these original owners, and knows that the main food here is to eat rice cakes, dumplings, glutinous cakes, poached eggs, big meat nine, whole fish, etc., and there will also be fine wine, lucky oranges, apples, peanuts, melon seeds, candies, pastries, etc......
Speaking of food, Chunyu remembered the familiar songs from the past:
"Children, children, don't be greedy, after Laba is the New Year; Laba porridge, drink it for a few days, and it will be twenty-three; Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky;
Twenty-four sweep the house; Twenty-five, frozen tofu; Twenty-six, go buy meat; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eighth, put the face hair; twenty-nine
steamed steamed buns; Thirty nights to stay up for one night; The first and second days of junior high school are full of streets. ”
"Sugar melon sacrifice stove, the New Year is coming; The girl wants flowers, and the boy wants cannons; The old man wants a new felt hat, and the old lady wants a new padded jacket. ”
"Twenty-three, after the sacrifice, the child clapped his hands and laughed. In five or six days, the New Year will come. Evil box, walnut, drop drop two cannons.
The five sons of Dengke ping-pong sounded, and the fire rose higher than the sky. ”
This Chinese New Year was more important in ancient times, but it is not as New Year's as it has evolved later.
The Chinese New Year here is the most important beginning and end of the year, and the activities are also very complex and detailed.
Li Dajun and Yang Yuemei also thought that their lives would get better this year, and they would no longer be able to make do with it as before. Therefore, Li Dajun took his family to the county seat to handle the New Year's goods in detail. casually prepared their New Year's goods for the old courtyard fathers and mothers, which also made Li Tietou feel much more relieved
is a little guilty, it is precisely because of his ignorance that the boss's family has suffered a lot of grievances. And Li Liu was a little embarrassed to see so many New Year's goods, especially the gifts that her relatives entertained from home and her to her parents' house in the next few days were all prepared by the old family, which made her face grow a lot
I have some love for the eldest daughter-in-law who has always been lukewarm.
On the evening of the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Chunyu's family set up a desk in their own stove, and placed sugar melons, stove sugar, sticky cakes, etc., and only waited for Li Dajun to set off the firecrackers in the yard, and let the children who were already hungry eat them. The spring rain is also very unproductive, and I look forward to it like a child
After eating it, she found that the sugar melon was too sweet, and the sugar and sticky cake were too sticky and sticky, which made her depressed.
After the sacrificial stove was over, Chunyu and her mother were busy frying fruit balls, crispy meat, steaming steamed buns, rice cakes, and twisting twist flowers. And Li Dajun took the three little guys to clean the courtyard room. The family is looking forward to this time when they are alone for the New Year.
Soon it was the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the afternoon, Li Dajun asked Yang Yuemei to boil the sauce early and let Chunsheng paste the Spring Festival with him. The gates, house doors, stoves, and fire doors are pasted, and a few blessing characters written by Chunyu are also pasted on the courtyard wall, which are still pasted upside down. The spring rain said that the blessing is the blessing that has arrived,
Isn't that the reason for everyone to think about it?
On the evening of the thirties, Li Dajun finished setting off firecrackers in his yard and took the whole family to the old courtyard for a reunion Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also the most exquisite one of the old Li family, one person and one bowl of dumplings, and made four meat dishes with braised pork, meat balls, mushu meat, and steamed pork, fried onion fungus, leek eggs, and two soups. It can be regarded as a spelling of 'perfect'. After the meal, there are kumquat walnut snacks, etc., and a set of small fish cakes invented by Spring Rain for the New Year symbolize the surplus every year. This is baked in the oven of Xiang Nuo Fang, and it is also one of the dim sum specially prepared for the Chinese New Year by Xiang Nuo Fang, which is very popular with everyone.
The old three families naturally came, but there was no unhappiness for the New Year, and a large family had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Hemei. During this period, Chunyu ate two dumplings wrapped in copper coins, one is more than every year, the other is rich, and the other is called Chunsheng, who has eaten it, but it is not just good fortune. Xiuzhi also ate a happy and healthy meal, and Li Tietou ate a good thing, which really responded to everyone's thoughts. After all, I wrapped six copper coins, and I didn't eat one of the three families, but the osmanthus was sour but there was no way, this is luck, and people got it, and it was naturally people's. It's just that she doesn't want to think that everyone is a family, and it's all everyone's blessing!
In the end, everyone kept the New Year together, until the time passed the child, and the year was completely here. Li Dajun is the eldest brother and gave the younger siblings who have not yet started a family, Li Wujun and Liu Zhi each gave a red envelope, even if they had a pimple in their hearts, they still gave each of the three children of the third brother's family a red envelope. He just gave the red envelope
The three children of his third brother's family, Osmanthus quickly took it and saw that it was all 200 yuan, and he was happy to receive it in his sleeve at the moment. Osmanthus made everyone a little unbearable, and even Li Sanjun glared at her with a blank face, but Osmanthus herself didn't feel anything wrong.
Then the children and grandchildren all paid New Year's greetings to Li Tietou and his wife, and Li Liu also gave red envelopes to his grandchildren one by one. This New Year's celebration is over, and the New Year's worship is over, and everyone has returned to their homes to rest.
It's just that at this time, it's often the time when children are most excited. When I thought of the new clothes that I could wear early tomorrow morning, I went around with my pocket money, compared with my friends whose clothes looked better, and then we went to the temple fair together. There are a lot of novelties at the temple fair, as well as beautiful shadow puppet plays, and the pocket money you hold can just come in handy.
Of course, Chunyu was not as excited as Chuntao Chunyan this time, but was a little sad. This is also the happiest New Year she has had since the death of her parents in her previous life, although her heart is full of happiness and joy, she can still think of her parents and them, maybe they are living well in heaven. She's happy here, too, and they'll be at ease.
