The New Year of the northerners begins in the wax moon.

Because I don't work in the first month, the whole month is a shortage of soldiers and horses, and I seem to be busy with war.

Just for the New Year in the first month, hospitality, over the fifteenth.

When Yalich was a child, although she had memories of her past life, because of her temperament, she simply called herself a child again.

It just so happens that I was born in a bustling and busy city in my last life, and I don't have a deep memory of the year.

And again, even though the family is poor and lacks a mother, but there is also a happy and memorable childhood.

For example, the Chinese New Year.

I remember the first time I was deeply involved in the Chinese New Year when I was eight years old.

After all, Mrs. Zhang still has a home, so she is also very busy at the end of the year, although she comes to see her every other day, but the family is a big family, and she can't take care of their family too much.

On the day of Laba, Granny Zhang still came early in the morning, she was busy with her own house, and she came to make porridge for their family.

Granny Zhang, who has always been reluctant to ask Yaliqi to do things, also gritted her teeth this day: "Peel the garlic quickly, let's pickle the garlic." ”

Yalich was quite willing to work, and obediently, so he took off the braided garlic hanging outside the door and sat on the small bench in the back room to peel the garlic.

She hadn't done it in previous years, and she had seen it, so it took a while to thin the garlic off a whole braid.

At this time, Granny Zhang also made porridge, first put a small bowl out, served it in front of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and gave a small bowl to the Lord of the Stove. Finally, I grabbed a chopstick and put it on the jujube branch under the eaves.

Yalich was curious: "Nurse, what is this for?" ”

"Sister doesn't understand, in our porridge, there are grains, beans and dates, and if we eat it, we should also ask the tree to taste it. I will continue to bear dates in the coming year. Don't you love to eat drunken dates? When you beat dates in the next year, the green nurse will also pickle a jar for you to eat. ”

Yalich listened to the drunken jujube and dropped it first, after all, the taste of the drunken jujube, um!

When Grandma Zhang went back, Qili stuffed two catties of meat cut in the morning, and celebrated the festival.

Granny Zhang didn't refuse, and before leaving, she ordered: "You can't tell your sister to eat more and not digest it." ”

Kiri smiled in response.

So the family ate, in addition to porridge, there was also a meal made by Chiri.

There are also four or five dishes in total, there are meats, there are eggs, there are soups.

Yalich was only allowed to eat half a bowl of porridge, because this porridge bar was different from the one in later generations.

It's solid.

Rhubarb rice is slimy, so it's really not good to eat too much.

After eating the porridge satisfied, Yalic began to pickle the garlic.

Bring a small jar that has been washed and cleaned, put the acid in it, and pour the old vinegar.

It must be old vinegar, and other vinegars are not flavorful enough.

Spread over the garlic cloves, then close the jar.

"You have to eat dumplings and open them again during the Chinese New Year, and they will be delicious at that time." Chiri Dao.

Fuller Hui smiled: "It's strange for you to say, it has to be delicious at that time, you can't open it early or late." It's not Laba pickled, and it doesn't work. ”

Yalich also smiled, and said in his heart that the cycle is about twenty-two or three days, but this festival is just a coincidence.

After Laba, I can be idle for a few days.

Then after the tenth day of the new year, I was busy preparing for the New Year.

Meat to buy in advance, at this time is generally to go to the farmhouse to raise, Qili is not afraid of hard work every New Year, is with Uncle Li's family next door, take a car to the suburbs to see which old farmer killed the pig, how many buy a few, Qili every year to buy a ten catties or so.

Buy some more water, pig's head meat or something.

Then I bought dried fruits, yams, New Year's fruits, and so on.

Then after sixteen, you can start sweeping the house.

It's a big deal, once a year, and it's not just about cleaning.

Because the houses at this time are all mud houses, it is easy to have problems if they are not repaired properly, such as rain leakage in summer.

When Yalich was a child, he experienced many times, even when it was raining, he didn't have time to fill the roof, it rained heavily outside, and it rained lightly in the house. Connect a basin, just like a water curtain hole.

Therefore, in this winter, it is necessary to check it well, and where there are seams, quickly fill them.

This is outside, half of Fullerhun's work, he is fast to get into the room.

The house was Chiri, and this year it was Yalich who asked her to give her a job that was not tiring.

It is to tear all the paper on the window, and then use a small shovel to clean the area that is stained with paste, so that it can be pasted new.

Although there was already glass at this time, there was no one in the homes of people like Yalich.

So it can only be a hemp paper window.

"Amma's new hemp paper bought this year is better than last year's, but don't move, Amma will come later. The glass filament in the hemp paper pierces the hand, don't tie Bao'er's hand. Chiri was painting the wall and looking at Yalic with disapprehension.

"Why is it so fragile!" Yalic was not convinced.

"Obedient, if you want to work, get the paste out, and Amma will get that later." Chiri Dao.

Yalich had no choice but to respond.

Hengzhu's Ama and her brother are the same, I'm afraid that something wrong with her.

So I finished the window paper and went to get out of the paste.

There was a stove in the yard, and Yalic added water to the small casserole and put it on.

Follow the example of my brother in the past and add flour.

Seeing that she was busy, Fuller Hui squatted on the roof and said to her, "Let it go, otherwise it will be hard in a while." Can you do it? Otherwise, just sit down, and my brother will get it later. ”

Yalic rolled his eyes at the roof, "Do it yourself, don't you get less!"

Fuller Hui stood up with a smile and continued: "Okay, don't be angry, brother will buy you candy later!" Buy all the candy you like. ”

Yalich snorted speechlessly, too indulgent!

By the time the paste was still a breath away, Fuller Hui had already come down from the ladder in a hurry.

Yalich just rolled his eyes: "I use a rag, how can I burn it!" ”

You don't have to ask, you know that her brother is afraid that she will be hot.

Fuller Hun hehe: "That's not good, my sister's hand is a disadvantage if she doesn't play the piano and chess, and she is still injured when she does rough work, so can she still do it?" ”

Yalich was amused and gently hit her brother.

The paste was put aside, and Fuller Hun simply washed his hands and went to get the window paper.

Yalic crouched down to take a closer look, and sure enough, there was a shiny glass filament in the hemp paper.

This thing is just to be strong and easy to use, as long as you don't poke it, it won't be blown by the wind for a year.

Occasionally, it rains, and it just dries.

Fullerhun took the things, Yalich smeared them, divided the labor, and in a moment the windows of all the houses were pasted.

The new linen paper looks white and looks good.

Yalic doesn't cut window grilles, but he has to put them on during the New Year.

It was cut by Aunt Li next door, and it was enough for their family every year.

A big one, pasted in the middle, is a pattern of reunion and longevity, big, it looks very festive.

Paste four more small ones, all in the corner, all peonies, lotuses, plum blossoms, these flowers.
