The road is very dark, and there are no street lights at this time, and it is now the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and the moon is not bright, so I walk by feeling.

The boys were very careful, taking care of the girls, and Tiankuo found the place where Siqi was very accurate, and whispered, "Siqi, it's too dark here, it's full of potholes, I'll take you away." ”

Siqi smiled and nodded, and didn't refuse, kid, what's the big deal.

Fortunately, this road used to be a big road, although there were potholes, but there was no need to take the path, and it was soon there, and many people in the village went to see the excitement, and they saw a lot of people from the same village.

It was really lively, and the procession had already come from the town and had to walk around the village twice.

There were adults and children, and in front of them were the mothers and women, wearing scary masks and singing all kinds of lyrics.

Everyone is playing torches, everywhere is a fiery red, to the front, if you want to follow along, you can also follow behind, is singing and dancing, anyway, how lively how to come.

Siqi thought it was funny, and when the team came over, he took everyone with him, and followed for a while, and the team was going to go elsewhere, and they were ready to go home.

It's really lively, and it's worth it to run that far.

When he went back, Zijun got two torches, and it was finally not so dark, Siqi and the girls in the family talked happily, and Tiankuo was not good to pull her again.

When I arrived in the village, I still had to play, and I had to keep the Chinese New Year's Eve, and no one would be in a hurry to sleep, and the children were very happy.

If the conditions at home are better, they will buy a few firecrackers for their children and play at night, but most people are still reluctant to spend this money.

The girls were not interested in any of this, so they might as well go back and sit and talk for a while, and when they got home, a fire was already lit in the yard.

Si Qi knows that this is called Ting Liao, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a large fire will be lit in the yard, and then all the old things that are not needed at home will be thrown in and burned, which is also the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

At this time, everyone had almost eaten Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lin Dezheng was still sitting and talking with his sons.

Wu took his two daughters-in-law to clean up the things at home, and the Zhuang family was very economical, not too old to be used again, and every year these can no longer be kept, and they will be burned at this time.

But there is one thing to refer, and that is old shoes, which cannot be burned, and must be buried in a pit under the tree in the yard.

This is also a custom, and legend has it that after doing this, there will be a big official in the family.

In the afternoon, Lin Changgui had already dug a pit under the tree, and at this time Wu put his old shoes inside, and Xuan buried the soil on the side.

Wu said with a smile, "The old shoes are buried, there are a few more big officials in our family, Zijun Zikang all study hard, and Zilong also goes to the school in the new year, I hope that these three will be more competitive, and it will be good to have a future in the future." ”

The children held hands and circled around the fire, and then threw the old things inside, and the fire burned so hard that Menghuan went to the stove house and took out some bamboo tubes.

These are unbroken bamboo tubes, specially kept, just waiting for the Chinese New Year's Eve night to throw into the fire, crackling, like firecrackers.

After enough of playing in the yard, the girls went to Mengshan's house to sit and talk.

Speaking quite happily, Mengzhu suddenly mentioned, "This year is the last year for us to keep the New Year with our eldest sister." ”

Speaking of this, several children were a little uncomfortable, Menghuan sat next to Mengshan, looked at her and said, "Sister, I will miss you in the future." ”

"I miss you too, little sister, listen to your father and mother at home, don't let your father worry too much, okay?"

Menghuan nodded obediently, "Well, I see." ”

The night is very late, Siqi usually goes to bed early, it is rare to keep it like this, and it is really a little unbearable.

When Zijun and the others came back, everyone sat and talked in a room, adults and children were there, closed the doors and windows, and the brazier was burning in the room, which was warm.

On the table, there were melons and fruits and snacks that I bought, tea and sugar water, and a few sugarcane chops for storage.

This sugarcane is grown at home, and it is so sweet that Siqi ate several pieces in a row, and he almost had a big bubble in his mouth.

With such a happy atmosphere, she suddenly began to miss the time when there was a Spring Festival Gala, if the family sat like this and watched the Spring Festival Gala, what a happy scene it would be.

Since she was a child, she has never experienced this kind of happiness, it seems that the family is always cold, whether it is the New Year's Festival or her birthday, there is no one to accompany her, so she simply went out to travel and did not stay at home during the New Year.

If she had had such a family atmosphere before, she would have loved staying at home.

When it arrived, the sound of firecrackers sounded in the village, and every household would buy two firecrackers to put them, and take them outside to put them on New Year's Eve at night, and there was a firecracker to be put off again on the morning of the first day of the new year.

Lin Dezheng heard the movement and said with a smile, "Take it out and put it in the third child, be careful, don't blow it up." ”

Lin Changyuan smiled and said, "Dad, are you still thinking when I was a child?" ”

He was naughty when he was young, and he really blew up his hands when he set off firecrackers, but fortunately nothing major happened, otherwise he would have become a cripple.

At this time, the weather outside was very cold, but everyone was not afraid of freezing, so they put on thick clothes and went out, and every household in the village was setting off firecrackers, crackling and lively.

The air is filled with smoke, which is the special smell of the Chinese New Year, which is not good, but it makes people feel very happy.

The children were running around, shouting, "It's the New Year, it's the New Year." ”

The firecrackers are almost set off, and everyone goes back, and there is no habit of eating dumplings here for the New Year, so they are ready to go to bed after washing.

I slept very comfortably this night, the weather was cold, but it was warm in the bed, Siqi and Siyao slept together, drilled into her arms, and the two of them were next to each other, warming each other.

When I woke up the next morning, I had my new clothes by my pillow.

Wear new clothes for the New Year, this is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years, no matter how poor the family is, they must prepare some new clothes, even if they can't afford to make a whole set, the underwear will always come with a new one.

This year, according to Wu's meaning, Liu and Xuan are both making embroidery and taking it to the town to exchange money, so most of the new clothes in the family are made by her alone, and the shoes are made by everyone together.

Si Yao and Si Qi both got new clothes, and when they shook it open, they saw that the patterns were almost the same, this was a piece of cloth that they bought directly, anyway, they were all sisters, and they were close to each other when they wore the same.
