On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you have to go out to pay New Year's greetings, and you can't talk empty about the New Year, so the custom here in Sujia Village is to eat something sweet as soon as you wake up, which means that if you have eaten something in your mouth, it is not considered to be speaking vernacular, but to say auspicious words...

Siblings bless each other.

"I wish the eldest sister a long and auspicious life.

"I wish my younger brothers and sisters peace and well."

Su Rui's sisters and sisters laughed at each other.

After eating steamed buns for breakfast, Su Rui dressed her younger siblings in new clothes and brought hats made of rabbits.

The whole family went out to pay New Year's greetings.

Because there are no elders in the family, no one will come to pay New Year's greetings, at most they will come to the same generation as Su Rui's sisters and brothers, but that will be the last, and they will come back at that time...

Su Rui's sister and brother were the first to pay New Year's greetings, so naturally they went to the old house first, Uncle Su and Uncle Su were not there, so they thought they were going to visit the New Year.

Su Rui's sisters and sisters kowtowed to Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, and said in unison: "I wish you, grandparents, a long and healthy life." ”

Old Man Su: "Get up." ”

Mrs. Su gave a small red envelope by herself, and Su Rui touched it and estimated that it would be a penny...

Su Rui saw that the little aunt brought a few bowls of red date syrup, and refused with a smile: "Little aunt, we just drank it at home, so we won't drink it." ”

In Su Rui's memory, every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the old house, a big pot of red date syrup will be boiled, and whoever comes is a big bowl, but who has never eaten at home?

What's more, New Year's greetings are not a family worship, each family drinks a little, which leads to the fact that they can't drink a few sips and put it down. Then the people in the old house poured it back into the pot, and Su Rui felt disgusted when she thought about it, she could eat leftovers, but she definitely couldn't drink saliva tea.

came out of the old house, Su Rui's sister and sister went to the third uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, that is, Su Changying's father.

It was the sisters and sisters who knelt down and kowtowed together: "I wish you, uncle, uncle and grandmother have a long life and good health." ”

Sulu smiled and gave a red envelope to one person.

Liu Shi enthusiastically pulled up Su Rui and a few people, and said affectionately: "Rui girl, you get up quickly." ”

"I wish you, uncle, auntie, all the best."

Yang and Lin smiled and said, "I also wish you good health." ”

Su Rui saw that Su Changyong's daughter-in-law Yang was all freshly put brown sugar, and was pouring boiled red dates, not boiled red date soup, so Su Rui motioned for her younger brothers and sisters to take it and drank half of it.

On the first day of the ancient Chinese New Year, if you drink the brown sugar water, it means that you don't want people to have extra money this year, so generally go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, and you will leave half of it, which means that everyone has extra money...

After drinking the sugar water, Su Rui and the others went to Su Changle's house again, saying blessings to each other and drinking red date tea, and it was over.

Su Rui took Su Chennan home, opened the door, and waited for her peers to come to the door, Su Ying, Su Qiao and Su Chenrui took Su Wan to continue to pay New Year's greetings.

When Su Chenrui and the others came back, the four children of Aunt Hua's family, the seven grandchildren of my uncle's family, plus Su Qiang and Lin Lijun came to greet each other...

Su Qiao cooked nineteen people according to the number of people, and cooked thirty-eight sweet dumplings with brown sugar water, and one person ate two.

Don't say stingy, but do not be small, one is the size of two or three in modern times, two is five or six, after breakfast and drank a stomach of red date sugar water, you can eat it even if you have a good appetite.

It wasn't until noon that the New Year's greetings really ended......

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went back to my parents' home.

Su Rui's grandmother's house is no longer empty, and the younger siblings in the family are still young, so there is no one who can't go back to her parents' house.

The third day of the Lunar New Year, commonly known as Sleep Day, means that the 30th night and the first and second days of the Lunar New Year are busy for a day, and you can sleep until you wake up naturally on this day.

The third day of the Lunar New Year is also called, the small year, do not sweep the floor, do not beg for fire, do not draw water, and the same as the year.

It probably means that on this day, you can't sweep the floor and carry water......

So Su Rui's sisters, they slept at home until the third pole of the day, and after eating, Su Chenrui pulled Su Qiao to play backgammon, although it was a little progressive, but it was another day of torture and killing.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day of the sheep, as the saying goes, the three sheep (yang) Kaitai, is a symbol of auspiciousness.

On this day, the family will eat the folding basket together. Someone asked, what is a folding basket? Quite simply, the ori is a hodgepodge of leftover meals from the previous days. From the thirtieth to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there are generally a lot of sumptuous dishes prepared at home, and the dishes that cannot be eaten will be made into a hodgepodge on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the folding basket, and then the family will gather around to eat the folding basket. That is, to sweep away the New Year's goods.

On this day, everyone will throw poverty, what is throwing poverty? It is to throw out the garbage and dirty things at home, throw away the garbage, and the home is clean and cool, and natural luck and fortune will come.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year, commonly known as the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

On this day, the first thing to do when the door is opened is that the man in the family lights the door cannon, and then all taboos can be broken.

In addition, women are not allowed to go out on the fifth day, they are not allowed to cook raw rice, they must eat dumplings, etc.........

As for the following days, it will not be so particular.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, Su Rui took the four gifts and went to the village chief's house with Su Chenrui.

"Uncle, Happy New Year."

Su Changsheng saw Su Rui's sister and brother come to the door, and hurriedly beckoned his daughter to pour tea.

"Rui girl, what are you looking for me?"

Su Rui smiled and pushed Su Chenrui to the front and said: "My younger brother Chenrui, he should have gone to a private school last year, but because there were many things at home last year, there was no way to send him there, I want to send him to a private school this year." ”

Su Changsheng understood what Su Rui meant, and he was also in favor of having more scholars in his clan, in case someone became a scholar and became a talent, it would also be the glory of Sujia Village.

nodded and said, "Yes, sign up for the eighth year of junior high school, just let Chen Rui go." You should know the place, right? ”

Su Chenrui hurriedly replied: "Uncle, I know the place. ”

Seeing that she had already agreed on the time to go to the private school, Su Rui didn't plan to stay longer, and said goodbye to Su Changsheng: "Then don't bother Uncle, let's go first." ”

Su Changsheng nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Good"

Seeing that the time was still early, Su Chenrui was going to find Su Chenyuan, Su Rui had nothing to do, Xiao Chennan had Su Qiao to watch, and she was not in a hurry to go back, so she went to Su Changle's house together.

Su Rui saw that everyone in the hall was there, and hurriedly greeted: "Uncle, Aunt Yang, Aunt Lin is good." Hello Sister Fang, Happy New Year to my younger brothers and sisters. ”

"Happy New Year, Sister Rui."

"Happy New Year, Sister Rui."

Lin took Su Rui's hand, sat down and asked, "Why do you have time to go out today?" ”

Su Rui pointed to his younger brother who was playing with Su Chenyuan in the courtyard and said, "Today, I went to the village chief's house to tell Chen Rui about going to a private school. ”

"How?"

"The village chief asked the eighth year of junior high school to sign up."

Lin was a little worried, and said, "Your Uncle Changle also wants Chen to go away, but I'm afraid he won't be able to learn." ”

Su Rui thought for a while, the last time Second Uncle Song told a story, saying what Mother Meng's name was in the current dynasty, and then she spoke: "Auntie, as the saying goes, what kind of people to learn from, what kind of things to learn." ”

"There's a little story, I don't know if you've heard it?"

Uncle Liu was very interested and asked, "What story?" Su Yatou quickly talk about it. ”

Su Rui smiled, "Then I'll say it." ”

"Let's talk about it."

"Once upon a time, there was a very famous man, three things happened when he was a child, the thing is, he moved three times, why? It was when Lu Zi was young, their family lived near the cemetery, and Lu Zi would learn from adults to worship and handle funerals. When Lu Zi's mother saw it, she frowned and moved to live next to the market with Lu Zi. When they arrived at the market, Lu Zi began to learn how merchants did business again, so they moved again. This time, they moved to the vicinity of the private school, and Lu Zi began to become orderly, polite, and fond of reading. Lu Zi's mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is where the child should live." ”

After Su Rui finished speaking, she saw that her uncle Liu, Yang and Lin were all quiet.
