Winter 2011

"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. ——Wang Anshi"

The Spring Festival is the grandest festival in China, and it is also the most anticipated festival in China......

On this day, firecrackers rang out in unison, gongs and drums were noisy. Every household is busy: pasting couplets, setting off fireworks, making dumplings, and sending blessings...... These are all traditions of the Chinese people.

The most lively is the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is brightly lit, flowers bloom everywhere, a large family of people gather together, lively and lively taste of wine and food, at this moment in a foreign country busy for a year of young people, in order to reunite at this moment, back to the warm embrace of their hometown!

……

When I was young, I was looking forward to the arrival of the Spring Festival every day, because on this day we could not only receive the New Year's money, but also have a table of delicious food waiting for us to enjoy.

The childlike joy of the past, the nostalgia of the present.

When we look up at the same sky in a foreign land, we will see the same moon......

I miss it, and I come uninvited.

I began to understand those who have to go home for the New Year even if they are in time for the Spring Festival, even if the road is twists and turns, but the ending is very happy.

……

This year's Chinese New Year as usual, came to my uncle's house, after all, they worked hard in the same city, of course, they were closer than usual, and grandpa also came to my uncle's house, just like that, the Spring Festival team was formed.

This year, it happened that my father took my younger brother back to his hometown, in order to save some money, we continued to stay here with my mother, in fact, I also wanted to go back, but I didn't speak, even if I did, I'm afraid it won't help!

So, I could only watch my father and younger brother go back.

My sister and mother and I, my uncle's family of four, and my grandparents sat around the table, which was also a happy time. I have to say that my uncle's craftsmanship is really good, a large table of dishes are from his hands, one after another delicious freshly baked, naturally fragrant, and endless aftertaste.

After giving in to each other, the grandfather started with chopsticks first, and a "hunger war" also began.

"This is delicious, this is delicious......"

"This one is delicious...... too"

"I love this ......"

“……”

"It's all delicious, haha, slow down~" Grandma looked at us from the side, and said seriously......

The four of us juniors only cared about eating and drinking by ourselves, and after my grandfather got drunk, he began his tirade......

"I think back then, when I went to Shenzhen, ......"

That's right, he's talking about his brilliant life back then, but that's just the past.

My little brain melon listened and listened to and remembered something: when my grandfather was young, he left his hometown and went to Shenzhen alone to work hard, although his family was against it, but he relied on his own persistence and determination, and finally made his business bigger and stronger, and then stopped after making a fortune, and later went to Hebei, and was a famous businessman in the local area.

Grandpa lost at this node in his life, and after his business became bigger, he shifted his position, which can be regarded as contentment.

But at that time, the business partner who was with him was very angry, and borrowed all the family property from his grandfather under the friendship card, and finally absconded with the money......

Grandpa went bankrupt.

plummeted, just because he trusted his friend too much, he was deceived, not only the money, but also the hard work of his grandfather, and his life's hard work was put into the East China Sea......

It took him a long time to accept this reality.

In fact, most of the reasons are because the people in our hometown are more honest and affectionate, so it is easy to be deceived, after all, my hometown is like a paradise, I don't care about the world, I don't have troubles, and I don't understand these people's sophistication, I only think that there should be the most basic trust between people.

Unfortunately, the world is more complicated than we imagined.

I wonder if my grandfather hadn't been deceived at that time, would our life be better now, at least we wouldn't have to be crammed into a small rental house, and we wouldn't have to be careful about every meal.

Oh, yes! It's always nice to imagine.

But everything has settled, then you can only accept the reality, people always have to look forward!

Although the life of frugality is very hard, at least it will not develop a character of extravagance and waste. Frugality is a Chinese virtue, and I am very fortunate in this regard.

Listening to my grandfather's deeds, I not only sighed that there are always some ruthless and unrighteous people in this world, but also always wanted to get something for nothing!

……

"There is still one minute before our New Year......" With the countdown of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV, adults and children also began to get excited.

Yes! It's almost midnight, and the New Year is coming, but why don't I always feel that the atmosphere of the New Year here is not so strong? Maybe it's because I'm not used to it, this is the Spring Festival that I don't spend with my grandparents.

But fortunately, my uncle's younger siblings were still young, and the children liked to be lively the most, and I joined in when they were chattering about which firecracker to set off.

That's why there is a bit of a New Year's atmosphere!

“5、4、3、……”

The two children shouted the countdown to the joyful atmosphere on the TV, "2,"

“1、”

"It's the New Year!"

"Chinese New Year~"

"I'm so happy~"

In 2012——

"Crackling !!" As soon as it passed midnight, the outside world seemed to be crazy, and their own fireworks were set off from house to house, and people used fireworks to convey their joy through fireworks at this moment......

We also brought out a large firework, and the intrepid brother stepped forward, lit it, and quickly ran away......

"Chirp! Boom! ”

“……”

While admiring his courage, our fireworks also began, beautiful, dazzling, but fleeting......

This may be the charm of fireworks, even if it only exists for a moment, but in this moment, many people cheer and delight, which is a typical symbol and represents a festive and cheerful atmosphere!

For our society at this stage, fireworks and firecrackers have seriously affected the environment we live in, most people only care about the Spring Festival, and no one thinks about the pollution of these fireworks to the air, as well as the sanitation workers who will clean up early tomorrow morning.

I didn't think it would be strange if I thought so much at my age, right?

Each of us holds a handful of hand-held fireworks, also called fairy sticks! Lit around the bonfire one by one and began to run in circles......

Exhilaration!

In fact, the world of children is very simple, it is easy to be satisfied, and sometimes it is good to give a piece of candy when you are unhappy.

The moment I hold the fireworks, I feel very happy, after all, everything in the world has its necessity to exist in order to form a colorful and wonderful world.

This is also something that is difficult to realize when you grow up.

The more I grew up, the more lonely I became, and I always felt that this sentence was true.

……

After the fireworks went back to the house to warm up for a while, the three of us prepared to go home, even if my uncle's house was big, we couldn't live here.

But there was also a "big war" before going home smoothly!

New Year's money -

"Come, one for each person! Don't be too small. "Grandpa's wrinkled hand reached out to us.

The younger siblings were still young, so they accepted it quietly.

"Grandpa, I don't want it, I've grown so big......" But it didn't work, grandpa forcibly stuffed the 50 yuan in his hand into the pocket of my cotton clothes, and handed me a look.

"Huh~ No matter how big you grow, you are all children in our eyes, take it!"

I can't refute it, so I can only thank my grandfather.

The conditions at home are not good, and I understand them, but if you don't collect the New Year's money, it seems very strange, and it will seem that you look down on the money your parents give you......

We walked on the way home, empty, all the doors and windows of the shops around were closed, and occasionally a taxi appeared, also hurrying home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Every industry is not easy, so we have to respect people from all walks of life.

The smoke in the air is the breath of the Spring Festival......

The Spring Festival is gradually coming to an end, the whole city is running again, and the family and friends passing by will habitually greet each other with a "Happy New Year~" Everyone is radiant and radiant......

Chase away bad luck and welcome the new year.

……

When my father and younger brother came back from their hometown for the New Year, it happened to be night, and my younger brother took out a pile of change from his pocket, saying that it was grandma's New Year's money for the two of us.

When I returned to my room, I looked at the scattered money one after another, and I quietly burst into tears......

"The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt ......"

I don't know how long my grandmother has saved this money, and she still thinks about us, and because of this, I have put a lot of pressure on myself since I was a child, that is, I must have a good life in the future, so that my grandmother can live a good life, so as to be worthy of their parenting grace for more than ten years.

"Ding-" is the sound of a text message.

Dad turned on the phone, and there was an MMS message from Grandpa, which was a group photo of the family, a big one, but there would be a photo?

You must know that although grandpa's Nokia was already a very powerful mobile phone at that time, the camera technology is difficult to describe......

Could it be that you have bought a new phone again?

It's also unlikely, after all, the family has always been thrifty.

Grandpa said that he bought a few boxes of liquor during the New Year, and in the days when he was drinking, everyone suddenly saw the bottle cap written "Grand Prize" on it

This is the first time we have won this kind of jackpot, and I think the coins in the dumplings this year must have been eaten by grandpa. Otherwise, how could you be so lucky!

Later, my grandfather went to the bazaar, found the shop that sold alcohol, and exchanged it for a laptop, which was small but full of functions.

We just need to find a computer to play online video! And this laptop is still lying quietly on my bedside table, full of memories.

……

When I was young, after my father brought back a Nokia to my grandfather, the children went crazy and circled around their phones.

That was the first game I came into contact with, "Snake", a small snake pattern composed of geometric objects appeared on the small screen, and the green flashing object next to it slowly grew larger......

We seem to be hooked on the game, taking turns for one person and one game, unhurried.

night

I can still clearly hear "Boom, Boom ......" at first I thought it was auditory hallucinations, looking everywhere for the source of the sound, and then found out that it was Grandpa playing, and I played for a long time, it seems that this game is very popular with adults and children.

……

In the golden autumn of March, the green wind blows and the blue rain blows, waking up all things and evoking you and me.

In the harmonious afternoon, accompanied by the "Wangwang ......" dog catching brigade, it seemed that the stray dogs on the roadside were taken away as a matter of course.

And they always do,

Disagree......

Dressed neatly, I put on my school badge and walked on the way to school, walking on the dirt road for a semester, and the dust remained unchanged.

"Are you a freshman in your first year of junior high school?" Suddenly, a young lady caught up with me and asked, "Look at your face." ”

I wondered.

"Well...... "It's actually okay to say no, after all, we are the youngest in the whole school, and we can be regarded as freshmen! So, I nodded.

"Then let's go to class together in the future, anyway, I'm going alone, I happen to have a companion, I can also recognize you as a sister." The young lady in front of her said with relish, what was really popular at that time to marry Jin Lan, "I'm in the sixth class of junior high school, what about you?" ”

"...... for the first and second classes of junior high school"

I am a little unaccustomed to the sudden enthusiasm, after all, it is indispensable to guard against people!

However, looking at her bangs that almost cover her eyes, it really fits the moment.

Junior high school is the time when hormones are at their most vigorous, and it is also the most rebellious period of adolescence. ”

Whenever class is about to end, it is not difficult to hear "After school, wait at the school gate!" ”

It's not a partner waiting to go home together, but a "group fight"

Just because of the fault of one sentence, contradictions arose.

Now that I think about it, a group of children gathered at the school gate at that time, dragging and dragging them, not only did they lose their laughter, but why did the children bother the children.

But that seems to be popular.

Therefore, at the end of school, it is not difficult to see a group of children piled up at the school gate, with trouser pockets in their trouser pockets, looking like they are standing there.

……

I remember that at that time, I admired bangs very much, but due to a strange rule of the head teacher in the sixth grade of elementary school, "Girls are not allowed to have bangs!" "No!

So, reluctantly, I clamped my bangs.

Forehead......

I don't understand why there is such a rule, I looked around at that time, it seems that there really is no girl with bangs, so I can only obey orders!

I was thinking that maybe our homeroom teacher was a straight man, but he said it was more spiritual.

Indeed it is!

On the contrary, junior high school does not have much requirement for hairstyles, as long as you don't perm your hair and don't dye your hair, so if you look at the female students in the whole school, you can hardly see their eyes, just because the bangs are perfectly covered, and the bangs are not long enough to completely cover the sight, and they will never be cut.

Think about it, it was not mainstream back then.

……

School.

Bring your school badge and dress up in your uniform and walk into the campus.

Later, I gradually became a person walking on this small dirt road, and the young lady was not familiar with it after all, and I was afraid of embarrassment.

So, we don't often walk together, but we still say hello when we meet.

Me half an hour ago.

I got up in a daze and patted my sister next to me, "Get up, you can't be late for the first day of school." ”

“……”

Well...... Nothing happened. I got used to it, so I packed it up by myself, carried my schoolbag and left.

She is always so big-hearted, as if she can fall asleep at any time as soon as she closes her eyes, and then even if there is a big movement, she can't wake her up.

Later, because my sister was always late, my mother gave her a bicycle to ride, but there was only one bicycle, and I had to continue my "11th Road"!

I've tried it, but I can't snatch her no matter what, and compromise is a common gesture.

As I walked down the road, I wondered, when will I ever have a bike of my own? It seems that there is no hope......

This late problem caught the attention of the teachers.

They all have a question in their hearts: "Why do you come so early every day, but your sister is late every day?" ”

Because of this, I was also called aside by the head teachers of the two classes for "questioning".

But what can I do if she can't get up? In this way, I received the bitter words of the homeroom teachers and taught me, "You are sisters, you must take care of each other and walk together." ”

"Hmm." I nodded, indicating that I understood, and that our feelings were plastic and balanced.

Although I was educated like this, I still couldn't wake her up, so I could only continue on my own journey, I may have been young at the time, simple-minded, and I didn't think so much at all, and even many times later, I could be seen floating alone.

On this road, one walk is a year, and the height increases with the weight increase......
