Volume 1: Once Upon a Time Chapter 10 Unforgettable Chinese New Year
Two weeks later, Chinese New Year's Eve.
The noon sun shone on Panyu's face, and the pair of sword eyebrows were filled with happy smiles. Holding a couplet in his hand, he was ready to paste it on both sides of the gate, and then pasted a painting of Guan Gong Zhang Feimen on the left and right doors.
"Dad, what's written on the couplet?" Pan Tianyi stood in front of the gate and asked curiously.
"Heaven and earth are dipped in divine paintings, and the self-cultivation Qi family is golden! Horizontal batch: Home and everything is prosperous! Panyu stroked his head and read it with gusto.
At this time, Sister Tianyi wore a brand-new red cotton jacket, happily held the door painting, walked out of the courtyard from the house, and pasted "Go out to see joy" on the wall in front of the gate.
"My sister is wearing new clothes, big, I also want to wear the little military uniform you bought for me!" Pan Tianyi was also ecstatic when he saw his sister wearing a red cotton jacket made of new fabric.
"Hong'er, you and your brother will wear new clothes again and again tomorrow and the beginning of tomorrow, and now the door pictures will stain the new clothes!"
"Oh, I'll change it back......" The sister blushed and didn't dare to look at her father, and quickly ran home.
At night, the stars are shining.
Pan Tianyi sat on the threshold of the hall, holding a small red candle in his hand, and gently pressed it on the large blue bricks on both sides of the door frame. Looking up at the southern sky, there are three brighter stars in a line, according to my mother, those three stars and four other bright stars form the constellation of Orion, which looks like a Orion is defending against wild beasts! Pan Tianyi looked at the three stars connected in a straight line with great curiosity, staring at the deep sky intently, imagining that there was also an earth-like there, and whether there was a similar existence living on it......
The kitchen was steaming, and Pan Tianyi's mother opened the pot and brought out many bowls of dumplings.
"Tianyi and Hong'er came over to serve dumplings to eat."
"Well, here we go!"
Panyu buried a handful of incense in the yard, faced the door of the hall, and then walked to the tree and lit a small string of firecrackers, and began to eat Chinese New Year's Eve! The siblings sat at the square wooden red table in the hall with dumplings, which was filled with vegetables, fish and pork. The family sat around listening to the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve and eating dumplings.
"Oops, bite a hard bone!" Pan Tianyi was eating dumplings, and suddenly his teeth were separated by a hard object, and his fingers were put into his mouth and taken out: "Ah! How is it a coin? ”
At this time, the mother smiled and looked at Pan Tianyi affectionately, "Good son, next year will be blessed!" ”
"Why can't I eat it?" The elder sister looked at her younger brother with a pouting on the side, looking unhappy.
"This, a pot of dumplings only wraps a piece of coin." Tianyi's mother explained the traditional customs, smiled knowingly, and put a piece of fish in her sister's bowl, "Hong'er, there will be blessings next year, and the whole family will have good luck......"
Tianyi's father sat next to him without saying a word, a glass of wine in his stomach, and his face was flushed. "This Yellow River Daqu wine is really strong! Wine! Without waiting for the strength of the wine to subside, Panyu drank another glass of himself.
"Drink less, drink too much hurts your stomach!"
"Okay!"
In the early hours of the morning, the stars outside were covered by a thick fog, and as soon as I fell asleep, I felt that I was woken up by the overwhelming sound of firecrackers outside before I finished a dream! I wanted to be lazy and bedridden, but when I saw my mother bring new clothes, I couldn't wait to get up early in the morning.
The night was pitch black outside, and the two arm-thick red candles in the hall were glowing yellowish-white, illuminating not only the room, but also the long string of firecrackers hanging from the trees in the courtyard.
Under the two large candles in the hall, Zaoshan and Dabao were placed against the wall, and a gray-blue hundred-yuan bill with the heads of four people was stuffed on Zaoshan; The bun is topped with some green spinach, and the table is full of apples and oranges and other fruits.
Pan Tianyi's mother lit a large handful of incense, inserted it on the incense burner in front of Lao Guan Ye, prayed in her heart, and then knelt down and kowtowed, praying that God would have good luck and good luck for the whole family in the New Year, health and peace!
Pan Tianyi wore a small military uniform, watched next to his mother, and when he saw his mother kneeling, he also learned to bow and kowtow. A shiver hit, and Pan Tianyi felt a burst of coolness and warmth in his mind, like a hot spring emerging from the ground, flowing in the consciousness space, moistening the earth and two big mulberry trees!
At this time, the firecrackers in the courtyard were rattling non-stop, and Panyu was holding an incense stick in his hand, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to hide. When firecrackers are set off during the Chinese New Year, sometimes some individual firecrackers that have not exploded will be left on the ground, and when the firecrackers are finished, some children will run to other people's homes to pick up firecrackers. But sometimes it's dangerous, and when you pick up a firecracker from the ground, suddenly a dumb firecracker explodes, which will blow up your fingers. For Pan Tianyi, picking up firecrackers is not interested, but likes to follow his sister to his grandfather's uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then bring some snacks or New Year's money~
After Pan Tianyi's own firecrackers sounded, he was ready to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Like Chinese New Year's Eve, the red square table is filled with pork liver, large intestines, fish, vermicelli, mung bean ball soup and dumplings. Pan Tianyi's family sat around the square table, enjoying the joy of the New Year. Until many years later, Pan Tianyi still couldn't forget the pork mixed with garlic cold dish made by his father, sour and spicy, lubricating but not greasy!
After the Spring Festival, the second day of the second lunar month is Pan Tianyi's ninth birthday. That morning, he noticed that the yard had been painted in large circles with ash that looked like holes leading to the center of the earth. He cautiously jumped up and down the edge of the ash, wondering if it would be terrible to fall in.
Pan Tianyi's mother came out of the kitchen, holding an egg, rolling it around his head a few times, and muttering words in her mouth.
"Tianyi, today is your ninth birthday, my mother boiled an egg for you, eat it quickly!"
Tianyi's mother peeled the egg skin, and brought his favorite mung bean pancakes from the kitchen and handed them to him. Mung bean pancakes are green, made by grinding mung bean skin into powder and adding some white flour, and are eaten almost every year on the second day of February. At that time, the family could hardly eat white flour steamed buns, most of the wheat was sold for money, and the most commonly eaten was corn steamed buns.
"Mother, why does the dragon raise its head on the second day of February?" A young and handsome face, flashing black and shiny eyes, Pan Tian was dressed in a small green military uniform, with thick and long hair, looking at his mother curiously.
"In the past, there was a man who was punished by the Emperor of Heaven and thrown by the gods into a deep cave* to fend for himself, and he tried to crawl out of the cave many times, but in the end he exhausted all his energy without success. In his desperation, a loud voice came out of the depths of the cavern, and he found a dragon sealed here, its limbs firmly clawed by four nails. The dragon king said to the man, "If you help me pull out the nails, I will save you!" The man trusted it, pulled out the nails, lifted the seal, and the dragon king rested for a few days and chose to ascend to heaven on the second day of the second month, while the man flew out of the cave with his tail in his arms. ”
Pan Tianyi's mother wore two shoulder-length braids, a white shirt with blue patterns, and showed a sweet smile, watching Tianyi listen with relish.
A few days later, in the morning, Pan Tianyi sat on a Phoenix bicycle and went out with his father for the first time.
Panyu wore a Lei Feng hat, an army green coat, and a pair of sword eyebrows revealing a spirited gaze! He rode his bicycle, Pan Tianyi sat in the back, walked out of Panlong Village, and went west through village after village, and the final destination was Huaiyang Taihao Mausoleum.
Halfway through, Pan Tianyi saw the train for the first time. The train was long, stretching directly from the horizon in front of its eyes, and from a distance, it looked like a black serpent lying quietly on the ground, motionless, as if it had seen a god and removed its former majesty.
Half of the afternoon to the temple of the grandfather, here tourists come from all over the country, the vendors in front of the temple shout and shout, people come and go, bustling, lively! Passing through one pavilion after another, Panyu bought a few pillars of high incense and took Pantian to worship sincerely. Finally, I came to a small hill, which was the tomb of the grandfather, and there were many people kneeling around, and the pillars of incense were lit, and the heart was silently talking to the grandfather, and the spirit seemed to have sustenance.
Grandpa Ren is the ancestor of humanity, Fuxi, one of the three ancient emperors of China, who appeared at the same time as Nuwa, founded the innate gossip, and taught people to make nets and fish and hunt. According to local legend, after his death, his head was buried in the Taihao Mausoleum Temple in Huaiyang, and other body parts were buried in other provinces and counties.
Of course, you have to buy some mud dogs when visiting Taihao Mausoleum, and the black mud dogs are painted with lines of various colors such as red, yellow, green, and white. Pan Tianyi pestered his father and bought a big bag of these things, it is said that these mud dogs are the guardian beasts of the grandfather, and the children will bring good luck when they are on their bodies!
In the void of Pantianyi's soul consciousness, an inverted pyramid ark swam with dark gold around it, quietly levitating. AI robot Gaia is in the center of the civilization laboratory, constantly operating against the illusion of time and space, and the clumps of faith consciousness fibers are glowing softly, and they are constantly filled with colorful suspended luminous spheres, and there is a beautiful and delicate girlish life form lying quietly inside, Pandora. Bena! But she had only slept for a short time, and three years had passed in the world. Three years ago, when Pan Tian was only six years old, she opened the illusion of time and space to come to him, taught him meditation exercises, and helped her master to continuously awaken and evolve his consciousness in this world.
The afternoon passed quickly, and Pan Tianyi embarked on the return journey with his father. Perhaps, this is the first and last time Pan Tianyi came to visit Taihao Mausoleum!
Looking up at the sky, the stars are twinkling, and an Orion constellation hangs in the southern sky.
At dinner time, my parents sat on the bench in the courtyard and chatted, holding a large porcelain bowl in one hand, drinking corn while listening to my mother talk about ancient myths and legends.
In ancient times, when the flood flooded the world for dozens of months, the Fuxi Nuwa brothers and sisters sat in a wooden barrel and survived. There are sun, moon and stars in the sky, and pythons and beasts on the ground, but the brother and sister still feel that this world lacks a trace of vitality and is a little more lonely. Later, under the instruction of the Emperor of Heaven, they married in Kunlun Ruins, multiplied, and human beings could continue down. But in the vast land, human beings are still too scarce, one day Nuwa was meditating by the river, and was overjoyed to see her own reflection in the water, so she rubbed the yellow mud, pinched the little clay figurine in her own appearance, and blew lightly on the little clay figurine, and he jumped on the ground and called out to his mother! Nuwa then pinched a lot of small clay figurines, both male and female, and each of them came to life...... One day it rained heavily, and Fuxi Nuwa began to use a dustpan to move the clay figurines into the house one by one, and then it rained heavily, and the couple began to use brooms to sweep the clay figurines into the house one by one, and as a result, many of the clay figurines either broke their legs or lost their arms. That is to say, people born in the human world, some lack arms, and some lack legs......
