Chapter 19: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
On the first day of the Lunar New Year in Northeast China, every household will open its door to welcome the children of every family in the village to come to pay New Year's greetings.
Uncle Xia's house was opened even earlier, because it was not only the children who came to his house to pay New Year's greetings, but also most of the people in the village. The secretary of the production team, if you don't take advantage of this time to slip your beard, when will you slip your beard? If you have something, you can carry something, walk around with each other, and if you don't have anything, you have to go to the team secretary to make a familiar face. Have a good relationship with the Secretariat, and you can have an accommodation when you have something.
Among the people who greet Xia Aiguo for the New Year, they are generally good buddies when he was young. There are also those who can look at the eyes, chatting with Xia Aihua and Xia Aiguo in front of Old Man Xia, and they can't see that he is shaving at Xia Aihua, and it also makes Comrade Xia Mutou feel that this person is real, and he doesn't look at people's dishes.
In the summer, I also went to Wang Xiaofang's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I went with five pieces of sugar in my pocket. It just so happens that Wang Xiaofang's family has many children, one for each person. Wang Xiaofang was very moved by the initiative to pay New Year's greetings in the summer, it turned out that she went to Xia's house every year to pay New Year's greetings to Su Meimei, and she would not come to her house in the summer.
She didn't know if she was thinking too much, she felt that the original summer disliked the dilapidated of her family and didn't like to take care of her family. But not only did she come this summer, but she also brought candy bars to her brothers and sisters, so you can imagine how excited she was.
In the summer, if you want to go to other people's homes, do you have to pay New Year's greetings to the old people in other people's families? Thinking so, I told Wang Xiaofang, and Wang Xiaofang led Xia to the house where the old man lived.
As soon as the door was opened, the frightened mother in the summer screamed, and saw an old lady wiping two red faces, with a pigtail on her head, and a small green handkerchief in her hand, turning her head and smiling at her big red lips that were open and red. Tell me, isn't this a good guy who has to be scared to pee? Wang Xiaofang was not frightened by her grandmother, but was taken aback by the cry of summer.
The old lady carried the little green handkerchief and walked over very enthusiastically: "Yo! Isn't this the summer of Lao Xia's family? You came here to greet grandma, and grandma was shocked, you said grandma, I really don't want to go. ”
"Grandma, no, it's just a little ...... Belch...... Accidentally. ”
Grandma Wang Xiaofang: "Reasonable? Let's twist Yangge in the village for a while, your grandmother, your aunt and your mother have to be there, don't you see their dress? ”
Summer's eyes lit up after listening to it. Hey? Or so? She was busy swinging around with Xia Dong's buttocks in the morning. In fact, she didn't do anything, but Xia Dong had a small cloth bag like a rice pocket around her neck, and she carried a much larger cloth bag in her hand. Xia Dong is responsible for walking the streets and alleys everywhere to say auspicious words, and then each family will prepare a large number of peanuts and melon seeds to send these unlucky children, Xia Dong cloth bags are too small, not too much, and they are full after a few walks.
And her task is to squat under the roots of the big trees of nearby people's houses, waiting for Xia Dong to pour candy melon seeds. There's no way, her father didn't let Xia Dong carry too big a bag, saying that he was too embarrassed to ask for food as if he couldn't live, so he had a temporary errand in the summer. She just finished her mission to pay New Year's greetings.
I was in a hurry in the summer, so I said a few words to Wang Xiaofang's family, and then rushed home. Can she not be in a hurry? She hasn't seen the local Yangge yet, just look at Wang Xiaofang's grandmother's appearance, what an interesting thing it is. It's much more fun than squatting under the roots of a big tree and waiting for the unlucky child in summer and winter. She had to rush to her uncle's house to see if her grandmother was wearing braids.
In the summer, a small fragrant breeze blew to Uncle Xia's house, and when she entered the house, she looked for her grandmother. Her grandfather held a cigarette pouch in his mouth, pointed with his finger, and the summer was gone. Xia Aiguo frowned, this kid, the more he lives, the more he whirls, he is seventeen years old, and he is not as stable as he used to be!
When she opened the door of her grandmother's room in the summer, she also did some psychological construction, and when she opened the door, she said: "Poof, hey! My grandmother, what are you going to do around the sheets? And what kind of appearance is the big red dot in your head? ”
The old lady was not happy: "Do you have eyesight?" I am dressed as the queen mother, and no one in the village will say that I am the most like. ”
Summer complained in my heart: The Queen Mother is dressed like this? How shabby that palace must be! You see, the big dark blue sheet is used as a cloak, and a large cut red paper is wrapped around the neck as a collar, and the braided braid is wrapped around the head and fixed at the back of the head. This hairstyle reminds me of the period when the Manchu Dynasty wore big braids in the summer, when those men put their hair on the top of their heads in order to save trouble for work.
Grandma, you said that you don't have a phoenix hairpin, so you don't have to wear anything, but why do you have a few chopsticks on your head? But I didn't dare to laugh anymore in the summer, the old lady was in a hurry, and she encouraged Shaojian more: "Grandma, I don't mean anything else, I just don't understand and ask." As soon as your appearance appeared, a group of people were blinded! I'm all fascinated by it, really, alas? Grandma, why do you look like you don't believe me? ”
The old lady confirmed that she was satisfied with her expression next summer, and it didn't seem to fool her: "You don't have to laugh at me, your mother and your aunt are also painting eyelids and red lips in Lingzi's house, and they still have props." However, it's a little more shabby than me! ”
Burst...... I can't hold back in the summer, aren't you called cold? So what the hell is going to do? I almost made the old lady smile again, but her mother appeared in time to rescue her.
Oh, I'm a god, a mother, a god! Is her mother playing a gourd baby? She cut her hair so short, her mother was very talented at combing small braids on each side of her hair. The two pigtails were stunned, and they were still wrapped in red ropes, with her mother's eyebrows, and the big red spots and big red lips on their foreheads like her grandmother, and they carried a wooden stick wrapped in red paper in their hands. The old lady was delighted, and finally came to be more humble than her. Xia smiled and asked her mother: "Dressed as a gourd baby?" ”
"What? What is a gourd baby? I'm Nezha. ”
Summer: "What about Hot Wheels?" ”
"Your brother's dog climbs the plow!"
Summer...... Hey, what a fun time to play.
The old lady and Su Meili both asked if there was a good building in the summer, and if the performance was good, it would be counted as a centimeter, and they would renovate and renovate.
"Milk, you have to redraw the red dot, who are you? You're the Queen Mother, you have to be different! ”
Then on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1974, the old lady went out to twist Yangge with the little sun painted on her forehead. In front of the big team in the village, groups of old and strong uncles and aunts, big girls and little daughters-in-law, young men and children began to twist.
There are also a few voices singing the two of them: "It's the New Year in the first month, the first day of the new year, the young come to the old to pay New Year's greetings, the new daughter-in-law goes back to her parents' house, brings a new son-in-law, the mother-in-law welcomes the door, the uncle is handsome, ......"
The farmers of Lishu Village, in their unique way, have a strong hometown accent to tell their expectations for a better future!
