After the reunion and the dumpling banquet, it was time for the long-awaited New Year's money of the old Yang family. Yang Yiren and Feng Shi had already prepared a large stack of new ten-yuan bills in advance, and they were neatly stacked on the table. At this time, the old Yang family did not have the custom of using red packaging to press the New Year's money, and they all found gold directly.

It's just that in previous years, each child could get at most two or three yuan of New Year's money, how can there be this year and momentum, the two old people made it clear that each child can get at least 20 yuan of New Year's money. This made a group of small pot friends, blushing and thick-necked, and excited.

The money is given by the elders to the juniors, and some families are after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone sits at the table and is not allowed to leave, and when everyone has finished eating, the elders send it to the juniors, and encourage the children and grandchildren to learn and grow up in the new year and be good people.

Some people are parents who put their children under their pillows at night after they are asleep, and more people are children gathered in the main hall, shouting happy new year to grandparents, parents and parents, and kneeling in line; Then reach out and ask for a red envelope.

Giving New Year's money for the New Year reflects the care of the elders for the younger generations and the respect of the younger generations for the elders, which is a folk activity that integrates the ethical relationship of the family. There is a nursery rhyme cloud: Samsung is in the south, and every family greets the New Year; The juniors kowtow, and the elders give money. If you don't want money, you just turn your face and leave.

There were nearly 30 children in a room, lined up in a long line, and said blessings to the two old men in turn, and then happily received the brand-new bills from the two old men.

Yang Yiren and Feng are naturally enjoying it, how could there be this money in previous years, their own grandchildren can be paid at most one yuan per person, and five cents per person in other families will be sent away. How could he have such a pride today, the old couple was also so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, seeing the prosperity of their children and grandchildren. In my heart, there is infinite joy.

Tonight, everyone will not go to bed too early, because there is also a program, children usually go to bed early, and this night will also stay up until twelve o'clock, which is called the New Year's Celebration.

Chinese New Year's Eve is one of the most important celebrations. Chinese New Year's Eve refers to the night of the last day of the lunar month every year. It is connected to the first and last days of the first month of the Spring Festival. The word "except" in "Chinese New Year's Eve" is "go; Easy; Chinese New Year's Eve means "the end of the month". People have to get rid of the old and the new, there is the old year here and the meaning of the new year, which is the last night of the lunar year. Therefore, the activities during this period are centered on removing the old and renewing the new, eliminating disasters and praying for blessings.

Of course. Some people also call it "boiling the year". "One night even two years old, five more than two days", on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family is reunited. Had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Light a candle or oil lamp. Sitting around the fireside chatting, waiting for the time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, the all-night vigil symbolizes the exorcism of all evil plagues and diseases, and looks forward to the auspicious new year.

This custom gradually prevailed later, and in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Shou Sui": "The cold leaves the winter snow, and the warmth brings the spring breeze." Until today. It is also customary to celebrate the New Year on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Since there is already a large color TV at home, the most important activity at night is to watch the Spring Festival Gala around the TV.

The Spring Festival Gala is a variety show held by Huaxia TV on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve every year to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The Spring Festival Gala is in terms of the scale of the performance, the cast, the duration of the broadcast and the ratings of audiences at home and abroad. Several world bests.

Compared with adults, and after receiving the New Year's money, the favorite game of the little pot friends is to set off fireworks outside.

In addition to the children who received the New Year's money in the house, many children in the village came to the open space in front of the ancestral house of the old Yang family, waiting for the fireworks.

There are many fireworks shops in the county and town during the Spring Festival this year. I bought a lot of fresh fireworks and came back with a good understanding of the market, and happily waited for the people of Hongcheng, whose pockets were a little bulging, to throw themselves into the net.

As a local tyrant with a lot of money and stupidity, Yang Jibin is naturally a big buy, and the type and quantity of the purchases are no less than the number of fireworks on Yang Yiren's birthday. No, almost half of the children in the village have come to join in the fun.

Fireworks were the first to be made in our country. It has already appeared in the earliest Tang Dynasty. It uses the effects of light, color, sound, pneumatics, smoke and other effects produced when pyrotechnics are burned or exploded, so that fireworks become an ornamental product. It is generally used for festive fireworks to increase the festive atmosphere.

Soon after the gunpowder of the four major inventions of China was practiced, it was used in ornamental fireworks. And this thing goes abroad, and it is used by others to make artillery shells, used in war. Our country has suffered greatly, and I really don't know whether it is better to be proud or sad.

It's best not to look at fireworks too closely. First, of course, there is the issue of security. Second, the sound is so loud, if you stand underneath, your eardrum will really pierce so badly. Third, it's not beautiful to see too closely, it's a little farther away, and when it explodes, you will find that it seems to rush over in an instant, and the visual impact is shocking.

Children who usually go to bed early are now very energetic, looking at the time from time to time, looking forward to the arrival of twelve o'clock.

Time passed minute by minute, and under everyone's expectant gaze, the countdown to the fireworks attack finally came, and at this time, the adults who watched the Spring Festival Gala also walked out of the house one after another.

Seeing that there were still ten seconds left, Yang Jibin took the lead and shouted: "Okay! Ten seconds left, we count, ten ......"

The others also joined in the festive excitement and shouted together: "Ten, nine, eight...... Three, two, one! Happy New Year! ”

As soon as the words fell, several flames rose up from the small hill not far away, and when they reached midair, they suddenly exploded, as if they were about to tear open the night sky. The bright light of the fire illuminated the entire night sky, and a huge ceremonial flower opened in the air, only to fall and extinguish.

"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful. "The children in the village are watching it for the first time, and their emotions are inevitably high, shouting and screaming.

"Oops! This time it's turned up, and it's even better. A child couldn't help but say when he saw that these shots were spinning upwards, which was very spectacular.

Yang Jibin, Chen Wu and others picked several of them, and the way of lifting off may be different, and the color and shape of the explosion on it may also be different.

At the beginning, the boss told them that there are many types of fireworks. According to the effect of fireworks, there are mainly 13 categories: spray flowers, rotation, rotation liftoff, rockets, spit beads, small flowers, smoke, modeling toys, combined fireworks, incense, friction cannons, fireworks and so on.

One by one, fireworks burst into the air, dazzling and intoxicating. It seemed like a lot of fireworks, but it was only half a minute later. (To be continued.) )
