The Spring Festival is not only a festival, but also an important carrier for the release of Chinese emotions and the satisfaction of psychological demands, and is the annual carnival and eternal spiritual pillar of the Chinese nation.
On this day, the wanderers, busy parents, or relatives who have not seen each other all year round, will be reunited on this day, in order to celebrate the festival, but also to go home to visit parents, children, relatives and friends, is a day of family reunion, singing and dancing.
Whether you are away from home, have no money to go home, or you have not met your expectations for a year, you have to go home for the New Year, with money or not, go home for the New Year.
There are many activities in the New Year, such as the Laba Festival before the year, the sacrificial stove, steamed flower buns, of course, different places have different customs, for example, many places in the south will make glutinous cakes, fat cakes and so on, to welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival.
One of them is to sweep the dust, sweep the dust, dust and Chen homonym, Chen, on behalf of the old, the meaning of the past, sweep the dust, sweep the dust, as the name suggests, is to sweep away the poor luck of the past year, bad luck, bad luck, etc., to welcome the new year with a new attitude.
When it comes to the Spring Festival, every family, whether it is urban or rural, will select a pair of big red Spring Festival couplets to stick on the door, adding a festive atmosphere to the festival, on the same day, people will also set off firecrackers, thunderbolts to welcome the New Year, and then it will be the children's favorite and happiest time, take red envelopes.
In the countryside, children get up early and go door to door to receive red envelopes, more or less, depending on your shrewdness, the average child is very smart, when they see people, whether they know or not, the first sentence is "Wishing you prosperity", the next sentence needless to say, take the red envelope.
The amount of red envelopes shows how much money you can have this year, how many delicious things you can eat, buy fun toys, and the ancient New Year is not as quiet and lively as the modern one.
The sound of firecrackers, the noise, the red fire, early in the morning, someone came to knock on the door, Chen Yifan got up in a daze, opened the door, the sky was hazy, the fifth watch was not completely bright.
When the mother and brother's family arrived at the door, they saw Chen Yifan, didn't say anything, and entered directly, holding large bags of things, the children entered the room and ran around, and the children who were familiar with the place had already gone to find a fun place.
The sister-in-law went to prepare the meal diligently, the mother helped on the side, and the elder brother Chen Yiping carried a pot of wine, put it down, opened it, poured a glass, handed it to Chen Yifan, and poured a cup himself and drank it.
It was hot and hot, and his body warmed up all of a sudden, and in winter, it was so cold that he couldn't speak, and he took a breath of relief after drinking a glass of wine.
"Yifan, the new year is coming, brother toasts you."
The cups collided, making a faint "bang" sound, and the two of them exhaled a breath, and the fiery wine entered the stomach, emitting a lot of heat at once, dispelling the cold.
Chen Yifan put down the wine glass and wiped his eyes, he was hazy, he hadn't fully woken up, looking at his brother's face, rough, but honest, shrewd in the past, completely restrained at the moment.
Looking at it this way, it's much cuter than usual.
year, family reunion, is the happiest.
Originally, Chen Yifan planned to wake up and go to his mother, brother and sister-in-law to pay New Year's greetings, but he didn't expect them to come first, and the etiquette was not careful, and when the Lingzhou scholars knew, they would definitely point at Chen Yifan's nose and scold.
"My mother can't stay, I have to come to see my brother, we can't resist my mother, so we came together, we are a family, we haven't had a meal together for a long time."
There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, they ate together back then, and they didn't care, it was a very happy time.
As I get older and experience more, I gradually lose the happiness of the past, and the taste of the year is insufficient, but I am also very happy.
The two of them hadn't drunk together for a long time, and the last time, it seemed that it was during the Chinese New Year last year, they drank with their father, but now there are only the two of them left.
"Your sister-in-law also said that if you celebrate the New Year alone, you will definitely not eat well or sleep well, so you will not always pull me up and bring the child to see you."
From mother to wife, missing, missing, worried, or wanting to celebrate the New Year together.
Chen Yifan listened, did not speak, listened to his brother's words, mother, sister-in-law, or him, in fact, they were not at ease with themselves.
On a cold day, he got up early and rushed to him, not moved in his heart, it was fake, although he was moved, he was still so bland, looking outside.
Brother Chen Yiping knows that Chen Yifan is a person, and his mood will never be shown on his face, angry, angry, or happy, excited, his face is always flat and indifferent.
"Your nephew misses you too, and has been clamoring to come to you and play with you since a few days ago, he said that he likes his uncle's big knife the most, and fantasizes that one day, he can become a big hero like his uncle, be a chivalrous man, and draw a sword to the end of the world."
Speaking of his son's wishes, Chen Yiping kept talking, but he refused to say himself, missed him, wanted to see him, was it them or himself?
Chen Yifan listened quietly and listened.
"Come, drink."
Toast, drink, you have a glass, I have a glass, one of the two is talking, one is listening, the wine is in the stomach, the two gradually talk more and more interested, Chen Yifan interjected from time to time.
A pot of wine is gone, the two of them unknowingly drink a pot of wine, the mother came in from outside, saw the two of them full of alcohol, not strange, with the pastry in, hot pastry, just baked, put on the table, fragrant.
"Eat something, drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health."
The two picked up chopsticks and ate pastries, and the mother went out for a while, came in with a pot of wine, put it on the table, and advised, "You two take it easy, don't drink too much." ”
Then went out to prepare, after the mother went out, the sister-in-law entered, took the food, the snacks, put it down, said a few words of concern, turned around and went out to prepare, and did not say a word about the two of them drinking.
Not surprisingly, every year as it were, they drank the most heavily on this day, from morning to drunk.
The brother's son, who is tiger-headed, ate a few pieces of pastry and was pulled out by his mother, so he couldn't let the child learn badly, Chen Yifan smiled slightly: "It seems that my sister-in-law has bullied you a lot?" ”
Chen Yiping raised his head and said, "How is it possible?" Your sister-in-law, she looks strong, but it's not enough for your brother and me to bully me? Don't be kidding, if I don't hit her, it's a face-saving thing for her. ”
A person, once he drinks, his courage will increase by countless levels, take his brother Chen Yiping as an example, he is usually timid, he doesn't even dare to beat people, he has no status at home.
The status of his family is ranked, his sister-in-law is the first, the son is the second, the mother is the third, and the last person fell to him, some time ago, even the status of his family's cattle was higher than him.
He wants to bully his sister-in-law, no one will believe it, his sister-in-law is a little rude, her personality is a little irritable, she looks average, and the only good thing is that her sister-in-law is still filial.
took good care of his father and mother, sometimes he was unforgiving, offended many people, and almost caused trouble, but after being calmed down by Chen Yifan, his temperament changed a lot.
There is another point, it should be noted that my sister-in-law is greedy for money, cough cough, this, how to say that, it is not a family, and it is not a family.
The elder brother is greedy for money, and the sister-in-law is greedy for money, as long as he sees the silver, he can't help but think of it, and he must get the silver, even if it is one or two silver, a copper plate.
Thinking about their behavior before, Chen Yifan shook his head, under the influence of wine, he found that their family had one thing in common, greed for money.
But fortunately, my sister-in-law will not be greedy for ill-gotten gains, she is very sensible when she should take it and what she shouldn't take, and she never stretches out her hand, which is also where Chen Yifan has never been too lazy to warn them.
The Spring Festival, this day, is long and long, and short and short.
People who have been busy for a year finally find a day to rest, only to find that they can't sleep lazy, get up early, and sigh at the gray sky outside and the cold north wind.
When the wine is too strong, it is no longer suitable for drinking.
The two of them stopped, stopped drinking, looked outside, their mood was unreasonably heavy, and they didn't know what to think in their hearts, maybe it wasn't important, maybe it was important.
After a long time, Chen Yifan spoke: "Mother will ask you later." ”
Gentle voices, echoing in the room, under the white sky, gradually became brighter, the darkness dissipated, and the smoke began to rise from every house, and the wisps of cooking smoke blew and blew in the morning, and the wind changed their traces, sometimes bending, sometimes straight up to the clouds.
Wisps of sorrow, haunting my heart, like a green lamp, blowing constantly, the lamp is bright, sometimes dim, sometimes bright.
"Yes." The elder brother nodded and looked at Chen Yifan: "Your sister-in-law and I will take care of our mother, you can go with confidence." ”
The topic is very heavy, and when they say it, they settle down in each other's hearts, and they are full of interest, looking outside, and they lose their minds inadvertently.
"I don't know how long it will take me to go, maybe a year, two years, maybe longer, if you encounter difficulties, you can go to the yamen to find the prefect, he will help you."
After pondering for a long time, Chen Yifan said slowly, with him, no one dares to trouble them, if he leaves, it will not be necessarily, with Old Man Huang watching, they will be fine.
Because of this, Chen Yifan left with confidence.
"I know that if I really encounter a problem that I can't solve, I will go to him." Chen Yiping nodded and replied.
Chen Yifan is not afraid that he will bend the law for personal gain, nor is he afraid that he will use Old Man Huang's identity to do extraordinary things, and he still believes in his brother's character, which is all thanks to his father's teachings.
Asking for someone is the most humiliating thing in the world, and it is also the last thing you can do.
It's hard to repay the favor, and sometimes a small favor will make your whole family suffer.
Self-reliant, you can't rely on others, otherwise, you are not worthy of being a member of my Chen family. -- Chen's father's words.
