………………………………………………………………………………

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Tian Qingqing could be said to have had enough of child addiction, leading Tian Miaomiao, Tian Youqiu brothers, Wen Xiaoxu, Tian Yuanyuan, Tian Cuicui, and Tian Yousheng, Tian Jingjing, the second uncle, to play on the street all morning.

At first, it was too cold, and everyone squeezed Rose's under the north wall.

Squeezing Ross is also called "squeezing shavings", and in some places it is also called "squeezing oil residue". It is to divide the participating children into two groups equally, with their bodies close to the wall, and squeeze from both sides to the middle, and whoever is squeezed out loses. It was the most popular heating game at that time.

There is no limit to the number of people who can squeeze Rose, and the more people the better. Tian Qingqing and the others squeezed like this, and the children playing on the street all participated. Some are eleven or twelve years old, and some are boys and girls, who are a head taller than Tian Qingqing.

The line that squeezed Rose quickly took up a wall.

It's a good look. Some children were squeezed out, refused to admit defeat, and began to squeeze in at the end of the line. Some were squeezed inside and began to struggle outward.

The clash of forces is simply unstoppable, and those who are squeezed out are unwilling, and those who are not squeezed out are not able to come out if they want to come out.

As a result, some people shouted for heaven and land, and some people were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so they jumped around the team one by one.

Tian Qingqing was squeezed out several times. Every time I was squeezed out, I laughed and jumped, and then I lined up at the back of the line to squeeze others.

Here, boys and girls are innocent. Everyone doesn't care about their own image, but only focuses on power. Even if boys and girls stick together, no one will think about it.

Tian Qingqing, who was highly released from the body and spirit, and tasted the kiss of the skin, couldn't help but think: People in this era are simple-minded, if they appeared in the past life and now, maybe someone would shout "indecent".

After squeezing for a while, everyone's faces were sweaty. Tian Qingqing felt a little hot on her body, so she said to Wen Xiaoxu, who was closest to her: "Don't squeeze it, squeeze your clothes again, it's time to catch a cold." ”

So, Wen Xiaoxu first pulled himself out of the team, and then dragged Tian Qingqing out. Wen Xiaoxu informed Tian Youqiu and Tian Yousheng; Tian Qingqing notified Tian Yuanyuan, Tian Cuicui and Tian Jingjing. When the other children saw that they were no longer crowded, they stopped automatically.

Tian Youchun was too short to participate, and he kept leading Tian Miaomiao to watch.

In order to reward Tian Youchun for watching the child, Tian Qingqing went to the house and took a smashing cannon, a spinning flower (that is, a round firework for three cents bought yesterday), and lit a long incense. The cannon was given to Tian Miaomiao, and Changxiang and Zhuanhua were given to Tian Youchun and asked him to play.

As a result, people shifted their interest to fireworks and firecrackers. Wen Xiaoxu and Tian Youqiu both went to the house to bring their own firecrackers, lit the incense, and put them up one by one.

Tian Youchun's Turning Flowers attracted all the children of other people's families. Because at this time, farmers are reluctant to buy these novel fireworks that cost a lot of money for children to play with. Just buy two small whips and let the child get over the addiction of firecrackers. This is also the reason why Tian Dalin just bought small firecrackers to coax children.

When the children saw the flowers, they were both novel and happy, and they were ready to put one of them.

"Brother Chun, I'll put one, just one, okay?"

"Youchun, let my brother put one, and I'll give you a cannon that didn't explode later."

“…………”

Tian Youchun said to everyone with great happiness: "If it is at night, it will be beautiful, and a ball of fire will turn on the ground." But he didn't say that he would not let it be sent, and he refused to let the long incense in his hand come out.

Seeing this, Tian Qingqing took another handful of Zhuan Zhuan Hua from home and lit a long incense. Put the spinning flowers on the ground and let everyone take turns.

Whoever is it, who will drop the bones, bring the burning incense closer, turn the flowers, wait for the green smoke, and quickly stand up. The flower spun around on the ground with sparks.

Everyone regards it as the greatest honor to be able to ignite a spinning flower.

Children, with the slightest satisfaction, will be elated.

Tian Miaomiao didn't dare to let go of the flowers, but she was very interested in throwing guns. The little hand smashed the cannon to the ground, and as soon as the "horn" sounded, he was so happy that he raised his little face and smiled at the people.

Sometimes the fall didn't make a sound, Tian Qingqing asked her to throw it into the air, and when the cannon fell to the ground, the "horn" sounded, and Tian Miaomiao danced happily.

Tian Yuanyuan, Tian Cuicui and Tian Jingjing did not hold firecrackers, and when they watched others put them down, they picked up their feet and smiled. Tian Qingqing each gave them a few throwing guns, and they all fell loudly.

Tian Qingqing saw that people like what they bought, and in people's enjoyment, he also enjoyed the same fun.

It was almost noon, and the sound of firecrackers rang out in the village. This is the beginning of the offering of incense and the distribution of money and food (burning paper for the family hall and the shrine). The children were also called home for dinner by the adults.

Tian Qingqing, Tian Yuanyuan, Tian Cuicui and Tian Jingjing all led their younger brothers and sisters, followed their elder brothers, and came to the old courtyard together.

The adults of each family are there. Some were busy cooking, and some were busy making offerings.

The door and door were pasted with the word "Inverted Blessing", and the door frame was also pasted with a couplet.

The couplet at the gate is:

Spring is full of flowers in the world, and the small courtyard is Chang'an in all seasons. The horizontal batch is: celebrate the Spring Festival.

Stickers on the door read:

Celebrate the New Year with laughter and laughter, and gather together to celebrate the New Year. The horizontal batch is: family fun.

The couplets were written on big red paper and asked someone who could hold a brush in the bend. Although the characters are not very artistic, they add a lot of festive atmosphere to the courtyard.

There is a long table under the heaven and earth, and the statue of the "Three Realms of Heaven and Earth" is pasted on the wall. An incense burner had been placed on the table, and it was filled with offerings.

The grown-ups are still busy adding this and that. Tian Qingqing couldn't intervene, so they looked around inside and outside the house.

Under the heavens and the earth are five bowls of water, five plates of dried fruits and snacks.

The water offering is topped with coriander, red carrots, and pork slices, and the red, red, green, and green are very beautiful.

Dried fruits are black dates, peanuts, persimmons, chestnuts; A plate of dim sum is a combination of small dim sum such as Jiang rice noodles and honey three knives, and one plate is a crispy skin with red shuangxi written on it.

There is also a mountain of jujube flowers on the wall.

The cupboard in the northeast corner of the hall has been cleaned up, and now the words "Three Generations of Clansmen" are pasted on the north wall, written on large red paper.

On top of the cupboard were four bowls of water, four plates of dried fruits and snacks. There is also a jujube mountain that is exactly the same as under the heaven and earth.

Unlike under heaven and earth, there are four burning incense sticks in the incense burner here, and a candle is lit in the corner of the table.

This is the family hall.

It is said that the family tree is to be hung here. When the four olds were broken, the family tree was burned as the four olds, and it was replaced by "three generations of clansmen".

The family hall should be invited when the sky is unknown, and after coming, incense and candles must be lit, and it cannot be broken, and it will not be sent to the family hall until the morning of the second day of the new year.

On the wall of the stove are the statues of the Lord of the Stove and the Grandma of the King of the Stove. Underneath are three bowls of water, three plates of dried fruits and snacks.

There are also the door gods, the god of wealth, the Nanhai Guanyin, and the three gods in the West Ear House who are said to be asking for the safety of the family, and they are also three bowls of water offerings and three plates of dried fruit snacks.

Whether it is five bowls or three bowls, small dim sum combinations such as black dates, peanuts, persimmons, chestnuts, Jiangmi noodles and honey three knives and crispy skin are all the same, and the few bowls are mixed, and the bowls are packed separately.

No wonder my mother said that she had a tired back pain, and it was really not easy to make this offering. Tian Qingqing thought to herself.

"Why is it different everywhere?" Tian Yuanyuan first saw the problem, and asked after his mother He Yuwen went.

He Yuwen said as he walked: "The god position is different." There are five bowls under the heaven and earth, symbolizing the abundant harvest of grains; The family hall is four bowls, and the god house is three bowls, which are placed according to the saying of the three ghosts and four gods. ”

"Three gods and four ghosts? Where are the ghosts here, aren't they all gods? Tian Yuanyuan asked again puzzled.

"Huh? This ......" He Yuwen was speechless for a while.

Tian Jinhe, who was sitting on the side, took over the topic and explained: "The family hall cannot be regarded as a god. When a person dies, the soul is a ghost. It's the same with grandpa and grandma. God is sealed. For example, the god of doors and the god of wealth are all famous and meritorious people, and after their deaths, they were given the title of gods, sent priesthoods, and went down to the people to bless peace. ”

"Oh, who is that god?" Tian Yuanyuan asked again.

Tian Jinhe: "There are many door gods, and there are more rumors of Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong, Wen Lu, Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, Sun Zhen, Pang Juan, etc., all of whom are loyal and famous generals in ancient times, and there are records in ancient books. ”

Tian Yuanyuan: "So much, then who do we offer?" ”

Tian Jinhe: "We are offering Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong. ”

Tian Yuanyuan: "Why do you want to provide for the two of them?" ”

Tian Jinhe smiled and said: "There is an allusion in this, which is well-known. Would you like to hear it? ”

"Yes."

As soon as the children heard about the storytelling, they said it in unison.

Tian Jinhe: "Well, today is the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to offer the gods to the family, and grandpa will tell you about the origin of the door god." ”

Tian Jinhe filled a bag of dry tobacco leaves, lit it, took two puffs, and spoke slowly:

"During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, one summer, a fortune teller came to Chang'an City, and he was very smart, and the fortune teller surrounded a large circle.

"There was a showman who walked in and said, 'Good sir! How many days do you count it going to rain? ’

"The fortune teller said, 'Three days later.'"

"Xiucai said, 'Is it a gentle drizzle or a bad storm?'

"The fortune teller said: 'The gentle wind and drizzle descended on Qinchuan, and the evil storm and rain hit the forest and mountain.'

"Xiucai asked, 'What should I do if I can't count it?'

"The fortune teller said, 'I can't tell, I'll cut off your head and tell you to take it.'"

"After three days, it really rained, but it was the opposite of what the fortune teller said: the vicious storm hit Qinchuan, but it was a gentle drizzle in the area of Linshan.

"On this day, the fortune teller set up a stall again, and that show came again.

"Xiucai said, 'Fortune teller, I have brought your head.'" …… (To be continued) RS
