The bear has rough skin and thick meat, and it doesn't matter about the size of the firecracker, it can't hurt it anyway, and gradually, he has a great interest in playing with firecrackers.

This matter was naturally discovered by the fun Wang Xiaoya, so she took Xiong Da and often went to Wang Gen's small supermarket to buy a few boxes of firecrackers and light them to play.

Now, Xiong Da heard Wang Xiaoya shouting that he was setting off firecrackers again, so he ran over.

"I really don't know, how my brother is trained, Xiong Da is really smart, he can understand what I mean." Wang Xiaoya often takes Xiong Da to play, because she is followed by such a bodyguard, which is very stylish. Bang bang bang. Although Wang Xiaoya lit the firecrackers, they snapped and rang non-stop, festive and auspicious.

"Hmph". However, Li Lili was not very happy, she couldn't even compare to a stinky bear, she was a little angry and a little sad, so she simply didn't stay here and went to find Sister Li Qing.

"Hey, why does it smell weird, from there". Wang Haiming was about to paste the Spring Festival couplets, but he smelled a mushy smell. It didn't matter at first glance, it turned out to be Wang Liang, who boiled the paste, although it was only a little, very slight.

"This kid must be distracted, he doesn't know what he's thinking, and he can't concentrate on doing some small things, hey, where did this kid go." As soon as Wang Haiming looked up, Wang Liang, the kid, didn't know where he had gone.

In fact, Wang Haiming's guess was right, Wang Liang was thinking about Zhao Qian. Thinking about the things in Zhao Qian's family, thinking, thinking, and forgetting that he was boiling paste, as a result, he was naturally a little confused.

Wang Haiming also reminded him just now, which made Wang Liang feel very embarrassed, so he took the opportunity to slip away.

"I'll help you." Li Xiong is also idle. And I hadn't done any of these things before, so I ran over to help with great interest.

"Well, it's okay, hurry up and post it, it's time to get dumplings later." Dinner, also called reunion dinner, is a day for family reunion, regardless of working outside, business trips, or traveling. Will all be back on this day. Have a reunion dinner with your family.

This year, Wang Haiming's house is still very lively. The number has doubled since last year. There is more Li Lili. Li Qing. There are also three Li Xiong. Wang Haiming was afraid that the old man Feng and his family would be deserted, so he called them over. Everyone was lively and lively together.

Lele was sent over by Gao Min, but Gao Min had to be on duty and could only come over in the second year of junior high school. Because there were six or seven more people at once, Wang Haiming also went to the town to buy a large round table to ensure that everyone sat well and was not crowded.

Because I have to keep the New Year, I naturally ate late dinner. Chickens, fish, meat and eggs, everything is complete, as well as all kinds of vegetables and fruits, Wang Haiming has made a lot, and the consequence is naturally that all of them have bulging bellies, and they still hold big apples and don't let go.

Li Qing and Li Xiong are the most shocked, walking around the world, but it is the first time to eat such an aura thing, yes, it is aura, when eating, the first feeling is this.

Wang Haiming's family has the habit of watching TV when they eat, so before they eat, the TV was turned on by Wang Xiaoya. The Spring Festival Gala, which is a must-see show every year. In the past, Wang Haiming liked to watch magic and the like, Wang Liang liked the sketches inside, Wang Xiaoya liked to watch, which star appeared in it, and my mother liked some operas.

At this time of year, Wang Haiming's family will get together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and while watching, they will pull the family routine. This year, there are more people, and it is even more lively.

That sketch is good-looking, which star is so beautiful, which magic trick is so powerful, bustling, so lively. Liu Mei smiled, years of hard work have finally paid off, how can you not be happy.

Old Man Feng is also happy, in the past, he spent the Spring Festival with his wife and Lele, Gao Min's profession often made her unable to go home at this time, and this year so many people are together, and Old Man Feng's smile has not been broken.

Li Qing and Li Xiong are also excited to listen, the first, the first New Year of their own, a real New Year. Although Wang Haiming and these people are not small, Liu Mei still has no one to send a New Year's money. It is said that the New Year's money can suppress the evil, because "year" and "Zhen" are homophonic, and the younger generation can spend a year of peace and security when they get the New Year's money, which also symbolizes that there is money all year round.

Moreover, there is also a saying of stepping on the year. The sesame stalks are glued to the shape of ingots rolled with yellow paper and gathered into a bundle, which is called a "cornucopia". Then, the whole family crushes it with their feet to "break" and harmonize "year", and borrows the auspicious meaning of sesame blossoming festival to wish the family prosperity and express blessings and prayers for the new year. Old man Feng also shared a portion of the New Year's money he prepared with everyone.

As the bell rings at twelve o'clock, the new year has finally arrived, firecrackers are lit, fireworks are put off, and it is lively. At the same time, the sound of firecrackers around was continuous, and everyone lit firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Looking at and listening to the crackling firecrackers, Wang Haiming remembered the story his mother told when he was a child. It is said that in ancient times, there was a four-horned and four-legged evil beast - Xi, who was short of food due to heavy snow in winter, and often went to the nearby villages to find food; Because of its large body, short temper, and ferocity, it brought great disasters to the villagers. At the end of each month, people tidy up their clothes to help the old and the young, and go to the nearby bamboo forest to take refuge.

This year, while packing up and fleeing, the people of the village came across a child about seven or eight years old who collapsed on the side of the road hungry. A kind old woman woke up the child and asked him to go up the mountain to hide from the evil beast - and the clever child and the old woman followed the people of the village to the bamboo forest behind the village. Due to the cold weather in the bamboo forest in winter, everyone is so cold that they have cut down bamboo to build houses and burn fires to keep warm. The child who was rescued by the old woman asked everyone curiously: Our bamboo forest is so close to the village, aren't we afraid that we will come here at night? An old man replied to him: "When I was young, I came here with the villagers to take refuge, and in the years when the snow was very heavy, I chased after it because I was very hungry, but every time I saw the villagers cutting bamboo in this bamboo forest, I hurried away." The child thought about it and told everyone: "I have a way to get rid of 'Xi' so that everyone will not have to come out and flee every month from now on." Everyone was very happy and asked what to do. This clever child told everyone: cut more bamboo knots and take them with you, and the whole village can go home tonight! It would be nice to hang a red cloth outside the door of your house, and it will not come again until tomorrow after dawn. The villagers listened to the child's words in disbelief, and the old man of the village took them back to their homes.

Soon it was night, and the villagers were afraid that no one would dare to sleep, so they went to the open space in the middle of the village to guard some broken bamboo knots brought back from the bamboo forest, except for hanging red cloth strips outside their own doors. In the cold weather, everyone lit a fire to keep warm, and when they were hungry, they brought out some food...... In the middle of the night, a huge roar was heard, and everyone shrank in fear. Then the clever boy suddenly stood up and told them, "I'll go and fetch him, and then they will throw into the fire the broken bamboo that we have been keeping watch all night." ”

Before waiting for the kind old woman to reach out and drag, the child had already come to the entrance of the village, and the child saw that Xi was breaking into the village and destroying a lot of things, so he shouted loudly: You come every year, so that the people can't live and work in peace and contentment, I must give you something powerful today!! When Xi heard the child's cry, he followed the sound and chased after him, but he didn't dare to enter when he saw that the red cloth was hanging on the walls of the house, so he followed the child's voice and endured the hungry belly to the open space in the middle of the village. At this time, the child said loudly: "Folks, throw broken bamboo into the fire!" But everyone had already stood there because they were afraid, and at this moment, "Xi" picked up the child with his horn and threw it heavily on the ground. The villagers reacted to the sound of the child falling to the ground and threw bamboo knots into the fire. Since it was not long after felling, the wet bamboo knots burst one after another when they encountered the fire, and they crackled! "Xi" turned around when he heard this sound, and did not damage anything in the village again.

When the day dawned, "Yu" was frightened away by the sound of the bamboo joints thrown into the fire by the people bursting, and the residents were saved because of the red stripe hanging in front of the door, but the people were not happy in their hearts. Because the clever child who saved the village was picked to death by "Xi". And this day is the first day of the first lunar month. This clever child, his name is "Nian".

Because the "Xi" did not die, so every year on the third day of the lunar month, everyone guards the broken bamboo festival and waits, hoping to get rid of the "Xi" as soon as possible. But year after year, no one has seen "Eve" again, and some are only the firecrackers set off by everyone to prevent the arrival of "Eve" and the red cloth strips hung in front of the door, but they have left us this legend and New Year's custom: on the night of the Wax Moon, everyone gathers to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and wait for the bell of Chinese New Year's Eve together. Set off firecrackers and stick door couplets. Wait until dawn to visit each other's neighbors, give greetings and blessings, etc. On the morning of the first day of the new year, the villagers visited each other to see if the neighbors were injured and said some auspicious and kind words, hoping that the "eve" of the lunar month in the coming year would not come again.
