Chapter 831: New Year's Flavor
ps:
Thanks to the hardcore girl joycf for the tip!
The next day, when the moon was still scarce, the village resounded with the sound of lively firecrackers, which provoked the roosters and dogs to bark, and every household turned on the lights, and the whole family got up early.
The second aunt and other women have already made sugar tea, and after everyone gets up and washes, the first thing is to drink sugar tea, which means that life is bitter and sweet. When everyone meets, it is a happy new year, which is also the main theme of the new year. Then, it is to prepare a hearty meal, which is also the first meal of the new year, naturally not sloppy, the women are all in unison, and the kitchen is full of their figures.
"Girl, where are you going? Come in and help and learn something, otherwise it will not be good to marry and cook in the future, and people will dislike it. The second aunt called out to her daughter who was going to go out with other girls.
"Who says girls have to get into the kitchen now?" Chu Jiawan muttered to herself, not very happy to get into the kitchen.
The second aunt is still the thinking of a rural woman, as a girl, it doesn't matter if she can't get out of the hall, but she must be able to enter the kitchen, this is the instinct that a woman should have, even if her daughter reads more.
It's just that her shout implicated the two girls of the Wu family, and they were also left by their parents to learn things in the kitchen together. Mrs. Wu very much agrees with the second aunt's approach, but she is a traditional thinker.
Tourists follow the local customs, and they also cook with the villagers, and the ingredients are provided by the home. Today, the villagers don't make everyone's money, and it's too hurtful to talk about money these days. However, the tourists did not let the villagers suffer, and sent a red envelope to everyone, it doesn't matter how much, just have a good time.
The strong local flavor makes them feel that this New Year is particularly flavorful, and although they are not used to the customs and customs here, they still enjoy the simple taste.
"In this New Year, although there is no bright city lights, the atmosphere of returning to the basics is really good, and there is a little less impetuousness." Xu Ziqing said. This reminded him of his childhood memories, a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.
Sitting opposite was a family that was talking about the Seven Great Folk Lines that day. The two families are preparing to spend this New Year together.
"Yes! The New Year's flavor here is more suitable for us old guys. Another old man spoke.
When it comes to the flavor of the New Year, many people seem to be full of emotion. Most people feel that with the changes of the times, the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker.
Or maybe. Some people will ask, what exactly is the flavor of the New Year? Unclear!
In fact, the New Year's flavor is the joyful atmosphere of family reunion; It is the younger generation to honor the elder and the glass of wine that sits around the table; It is the smell of fireworks outside the house that wafts into the nose; It is the dumplings in a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner made by my mother after being busy; It is a kind of enjoyment to visit the temple fair, watch the dragon dance and eat sugar balls, as if returning to childhood; It's the kind of friendly feeling that doesn't know each other, but when they meet, they say that the New Year is good; It's the atmosphere where the streets are full of red lanterns and blessings...... This is called New Year's flavor.
Many people believe that traditional Chinese festivals are just stunners in the memories of their parents, and have become a tasteless and regrettable "chicken ribs" for Chinese people. The New Year's money has risen and become a burden, losing the original intention of praying for blessings and disasters; The temple fair is held in the shopping mall, which is actually a commodity transaction; Sending group text messages to greet the New Year, how much emotion does it give to everyone on average?
The juniors of these two families are amusing the children of the house, watching these little ones wear new clothes, new hats, and so on under the supervision of their mothers. I think it's interesting. In the city, many people wear new clothes almost every day, and naturally they can't experience the feeling of refreshment in the countryside.
"Come, sister, give you chocolate candy." The girl of the Xu family was holding a small bag of chocolate candy, which was very delicately made. The appearance is the same as gold coins and gold ingots. For small children, this is undoubtedly a great temptation.
"Thank you, sister, and say Happy New Year to my brother and sister." His mother taught her children.
The little guy, who was only three or four years old, said in a milky voice: "Thank you, sister!" Then he pointed to everyone at the scene with his immature little hands, and said in a language that was not very fluent: "Brother, sister, uncle, aunt, happy new year!" ”
"What else?" The young village woman laughed.
The little one looked at everyone, and then at the gift in his hand. Continued: "And Happy New Year baby. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, the baby was referring to themselves, and they were all happy, and they all laughed. The old man and others present took out a red envelope and gave one to the little guy.
The house is a little bigger for the kids. When you receive all this sugar, you hide it all. The packaging of these candies is so beautiful, they are reluctant to eat it.
"Where to hide? Hurry up and eat it, don't melt it when you get it. "The parents are most afraid that these little ones will hide the candy and cookies. Accidentally, they hid it in the closet. In less than half a day, rows of ants were provoked, gnawing the wardrobe into unevenness.
A little girl just didn't want to eat, which annoyed her Lao Tzu, and was yelled at twice, and her little mouth was flattened, and she immediately started crying.
This time, the patriarch of the house spoke, especially the girl's grandfather, and his eyes glared at his son: "What roar?" Didn't you hide the delicious food when you were a kid? Even the sugar that had been eaten was re-wrapped. ”
After scolding his son, he changed his face and put on an amiable face, and coaxed his little granddaughter in a harmonious voice.
The peasant man smiled, and when he saw that his Lao Tzu had poked out the ugly history of his childhood, he hurriedly pretended to fiddle with the VCD player at home that was about to become an antique. Outside, DVD players are almost outdated. Subsequently, two New Year's song discs were turned out, playing the old New Year's song.
After eating, the children finally couldn't bear it anymore. They were like wild horses off the leash, in groups of three or five, and began to go around asking for red envelopes. These few days will be the period when they increase their savings, and they will not waste them.
At the same time, they took out the small toys they bought a year ago, such as small lanterns and small windmills, and today is also a day for them to show off themselves to their peers.
The Jackton house was undoubtedly the liveliest, and the children were the first to flock to his house. No way, these foreign uncles are the most generous, every red envelope is very thick, and there is even a small gift.
Wells' parents would hug or kiss the little ones every time they handed them a gift. An old man in the village passed by and shook his head again and again: "The wind is going down, the wind is going down!" Although Chujiazhai now often sees some male and female tourists kissing in public, the older generation is still not very used to it.
"Hmmm! Line up one by one to ask your aunt for red envelopes. Chu Jiaqiang leisurely crossed Erlang's legs, sat at the door, and saw the army of children coming to say hello, nodded, and motioned for them to ask for red envelopes to find their wives.
