Children, children, don't be greedy, after Laba is the New Year;

Laba porridge, drink for a few days, mile la la twenty-eight;

Twenty-eighth, put the face hair;

Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns;

Thirty nights to stay up for one night;

The first and second days of junior high school are full of streets.

……

This is a busy New Year's song and a nursery rhyme.

Busy New Year Songs are traditional folk children's songs popular in northern China. It is also called the New Year's ballad. Through nursery rhymes, the busy New Year song completely depicts the folk Spring Festival customs in various places.

The folk songs of various places during the Spring Festival are a portrayal of life in those years, although it was produced for a long time, but when recalled today, it still makes people reverie and even unforgettable.

The New Year is approaching, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, the entire Chang'an City has become extremely lively, and the streets and alleys have suddenly become more cheerful than usual.

The market is full of New Year's goods, and the shops along the street have begun to sell all kinds of New Year's goods.

The winter solstice has passed, the little cold is approaching, this winter of the fifth year of Zhenguan, I feel a little cold, just after the snow, the brazier is burning in the house, but I still feel cold.

In this era when there were no stoves and heating, winter was indeed a bit difficult, although Zhang Cuihua used new cotton for Wang Dazhui's cotton jacket and cotton pants. Wrapped him tightly like a rice dumpling. But he still misses the days when there was heating and air conditioning.

Today's Laba Festival, the gentleman of Hongwenguan gave them a holiday and spent Laba Festival at home.

Wang Da Hammer drilled in the warm quilt, never wanted to get up, said that the bed should actually be called a fire kang, northerners generally sleep on the fire kang in winter, and the bottom is lit with wheat straw, which can be burned very hot.

Therefore, the wisdom of the ancients was no worse than that of modern people, and they were able to do many things that could be done without the need for modern energy with the only resources they had.

"Sledgehammer, hurry up, my mother has boiled laba porridge for you, it's been boiling for almost half an hour, hurry up and eat!" Zhang Cuihua entered the room and said while adding charcoal to the brazier.

"Mother, look at my frozen Laba lump, is it frozen?" Wang Da Hammer covered the quilt and stuck out his head and said.

"It's frozen, it's frozen! Hurry up and go to your aunt's house to play with Min'er and them in a while, don't always stay on the kang. Zhang Cuihua urged again.

After the Laba Festival, you have to eat Laba porridge and slip Laba Tuo. This is a custom of the northerners, and it is impossible to say exactly when it began.

Everyone knows Laba porridge, but some people don't know it very well, this Laba Tuo is an ice lump that puts sugar water outside the house and lets the cold air outside naturally freeze into an ice lump.

It's a bit of a popsicle, it's given by nature, a snack for kids in this era without freezers.

On the day of Laba Festival, children will generally put brown sugar water in a bowl the night before, put peanuts and raisins in it, and put a copper coin tied with a thread in the bowl, so that the Laba lump can be picked up through the thread the next day.

After the bright urging of his mother Zhang Cuihua, Wang Dazhui still got out of the quilt, put on cotton clothes and pants, and after washing, he went to check his Laba Tuo.

The Laba lump with brown sugar was really frozen, Wang Da Hammer brought it into the room, and couldn't help licking it with his tongue, it was cold to the heart, and his heart was really happy.

He thought that it would be better if he could make it in the summer, when it would be more refreshing to eat frozen things, not only to relieve the heat, but also to use as a snack.

Taste it and that's what it means, it's a holiday, you have to have a festival.

After eating the fragrant laba porridge boiled by his mother, Wang Dazhui accompanied his mother to his uncle's house.

When I got to the street, although it was cold, there were still a lot of people on the street, and the children were having snowball fights on the side of the road, and they didn't care about the cold at all.

The street vendors were still shouting enthusiastically.

"New Year's ......"

"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns......"

"Selling mutton, fresh mutton just out of the pot ......"

The shouts came and went, and the shoppers carried large bags and small bags with smiles on their faces, and it seemed that this year was not bad, and people should be able to have a good year.

Out of Chang'an Fang, through a few alleys, you will arrive at Kong Wenhua's house, the distance is not far, even Min'er herself often secretly runs to Wang Da Hammer's house.

When I bought a house, I took this into account, after all, they are relatives, and it is convenient to help each other closer.

Wang Fugui and his sister and brother-in-law get along very well, and they all live well, so they don't say who looks down on anyone.

As soon as Wang Dazhui and his mother entered the door, they saw Min'er Fei coming up and hugging Wang Dazhui's arm, "Brother Sledgehammer, Brother Sledgehammer, you are here!" ”

Zhang Cuihua laughed: "Min'er, my aunt is also here, why did you only see your cousin alone?" Isn't your aunt welcome? ”

Min'er was embarrassed by Zhang Cuihua's words, her face turned red all of a sudden, she was about to celebrate the New Year and was a year older, and the little girl also knew that she was shy.

"Hello aunt!" Min'er hurriedly ran to Zhang Cuihua again and said sweetly.

"Is that aunt or your sledgehammer brother?" Zhang Cuihua didn't let her go and continued to ask.

The little girl is very smart, and no one can offend her: "Aunt and Brother Sledgehammer are fine." ”

"Haha...... it's really a little ghost, just like your cousin." Zhang Cuihua couldn't close her mouth when she heard it.

"My sister-in-law is here, hurry into the house to bake the fire, this snow has just ended, it's very cold outside, don't freeze." Wang Xuemei followed her daughter out and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello Auntie!" Wang Dazhui hurriedly stepped forward and called sweetly, his aunt is beautiful and has a good heart, and she has nothing to say to her family.

"Sledgehammer, come in! Your sister Min'er is now thinking about you every day, and she cares more about you than me! Wang Xuemei lifted the curtain and said to Wang Dazhui with a smile.

Zhang Cuihua smiled when she heard this: "It's not, as soon as we entered the door just now, Min'er pounced on the sledgehammer, and even I was thrown aside." ”

After entering the house, Wang Xuemei immediately poured hot tea for the two, and said as she poured it: "Yes, since Sledgehammer and Min'er have such a good relationship, I don't think it will be as good as growing up and getting married in the future." ”

As soon as he heard his mother and aunt talking, the more he couldn't stop the car, Wang Dazhui hurriedly changed their topic: "Auntie, what about my uncle and two cousins?" Why not at home? ”

was interrupted by Wang Da Hammer, Wang Xuemei did not continue the topic just now, and explained with a smile: "Your uncle and two cousins, they went to the shop, but now that it is Layue, the business in the shop is very good, and I can't be busy every day, if I didn't know that you were coming over today, I would have to go over there to help!" ”

After a few words of greeting, Min'er impatiently pestered Wang Dazhui to listen to the story.

"Sister-in-law, come and let the two of us go to the back room to talk, and let the two children play by themselves." Wang Xuemei pulled Zhang Cuihua inside.
