Chapter 114: Chinese New Year's Eve

With a plan in mind, the husband and wife acted quickly. Careful selection is our pursuit, only select what you like, popular books for everyone to present, please continue to pay attention, don't forget to collect this site is now the beginning of the month. You need to hurry up before the 23rd year of the lunar month, return home, sweep the courtyard, and prepare New Year's goods.

Two or three days after returning home, after several careful and gentle persuasions, Jiang Zhixuan finally adjusted his mentality. Be a master at home with peace of mind, and enjoy the pastoral life happily with your beloved wife.

In these years, things are rich and people are abundant. Therefore, in the month of Layue, the slightly more solid farmers began to kill the New Year's pigs with joy. There is a pig killing home every day, as long as you are willing to help, the pig killing rice can be eaten until the Chinese New Year's Eve.

After resting at home for two or three days, Xiaoxiao and her husband took turns to visit Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jiang. Today, the two uncles still live in their former home. According to the two uncles, after the spring flowers bloom next year, they will consider moving into the farm. Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan were not reluctant, so they went with them.

After visiting the two uncles, it was the seventh day of the lunar month when I came back. Xiaoxiao took the mustache and prepared Laba porridge. This Laba Festival is a more important festival, marking the official entry into the atmosphere of the New Year. Laba Festival is over. The men of ten miles and eight towns began to prepare for the practice of the fire, playing dragon lanterns, and making Yangge, and actively preparing for the New Year. Interestingly, this is also the climax of male and female marriages.

Now there are only five people living in Jiangfu. However, on the day of Laba Festival, Xiaoxiao invited all the hired workers of the farm to the house to enjoy the glutinous and sweet Laba porridge together, and at the end of the day, each person was given two yuan as a reward for their hard work for a year. As for Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng...... Naturally, there is none. Each of them can get half of the annual profit of the farm, which is set a long time ago. Therefore, they are more or less a small shareholder, where is the reason for the boss to pay bonuses to himself......

After the Laba Festival, the Yao brothers, on behalf of the Jiang family, went to the town to participate in the training of practicing Shehuo. Xiaoxiao went to Longzhou with her husband to pay respects to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. The Jiang family is in Layue, just like all families, nine out of ten days are cold pots and cold stoves.

After staying in Longzhou for more than ten days, Li Rusong and Mrs. Li were "> very happy about the arrival of their righteous daughter and son-in-law. Although they also hope that the two of them will stay in Longzhou for the New Year, they all know that the Jiang family is now a big family, and it is impossible to spend the New Year outside. Therefore, more than ten days later, Xiaoxiao and her husband returned to Huayin.

Back to Zhenlong Town, just in time for the twenty-third year of the lunar month. This is the last festival of the year, and after this festival, it is time to start preparing for the real New Year.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Jiangfu is really busy preparing for the New Year. There is a folk custom: "After the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the furniture is moved outside, and the inside and outside are swept again." "Although the house in Jiangfu was only completed in October. But this festive custom naturally cannot be avoided. Therefore, it is reasonable for the Yao brothers to work harder.

After sweeping up the dust and renovating the house, everyone needs to take a shower. Therefore, it is also called the "Three Pure Days", and there is a folk proverb that says: "Houses, few, and people" are clean, eliminating disasters and avoiding diseases. This custom has not changed until the time when I was young.

After cleaning the house furniture and everyone has taken a shower and cleaned themselves. I prepared what I wanted to eat for the New Year, and began to make meat dishes, steamed buns, and pinch New Year's wontons. None of this is known to the little itself. All of them came from the two aunts and mothers of the Jiang family. Fortunately, there is still a mustache, and this girl is very clear about all the things to prepare for the New Year. This makes the Jiang family's New Year no different from other families.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the doors of every household were closed, and Jiangfu was certainly no exception. The five people in the Jiang Mansion, the little husband and wife, the Yao brothers and the beard, were busy with each other. As for the hired workers on the farm, those who were close to each other gave them a New Year's money to go home and reunite with their families. Far away. The family was taken to the farm, and the family was reunited on the farm.

In this busy and festive atmosphere, there is one person who seems out of place. That is our Jiang Zhixuan Jiang Dajieyuan, he is a scholar who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains. I don't know anything about these things that need to be prepared for the New Year. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao's illness later, he would probably be no different from Li Qin now.

In the two or three big years before this, all the affairs of the New Year were handled by the previous small ones. At that time, the Jiang family was not as wealthy as it is now, and during the Chinese New Year, it was already very luxurious for the couple to be able to eat a meat-filled chaotic meal. The more fun of the Chinese New Year is to clean the dilapidated houses and post the New Year's pictures and Spring Festival couplets drawn by yourself. Guarding the poor home, looking forward to a better year ahead. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the couple woke up, looked at each other, and said 'Happy New Year' to each other, and the days went on as always, and they didn't feel much joy at all. At that time, it was the real "off"!

However, with a little unremitting efforts, the Jiang family no longer has the feeling of the end of the year this year, but is truly auspicious and festive. Feeling this, Jiang Zhixuan also happily looked around for work to do. At this point, the incompetence of the reader in life is undoubtedly revealed.

It is undeniable that Jiang Jieyuan's character and literary style are top-notch, and even the emperor is full of praise. But his hands-on ability. But I really don't dare to compliment, pinch a chaos, the one pinched by the mustache is called a beautiful, and the little one who learned for a while also pinched it well. However, Jiang Zhixuan was sweating profusely, and the three or four chaos that he pinched out after making his face full of flour were as tragic as being trampled by thousands of troops. So that the beard couldn't help but protest loudly:

"Uncle, if you bring these chaos to the table and let Yao Shan and Yao Hai see it, it will damage the reputation of the slave maid and the young lady" >, so uncle, you should go elsewhere to help, right? Fewer words"

Xiao Xiao looked at the few nondescript chaos that her husband had pinched out, and she had already worked very hard. At this time, when I heard the merciless words of the beard, I couldn't help but 'poof' anymore and giggled.

Jiang Zhixuanjun's face was slightly red and he grinned. Looking at his own crooked and inferior products, I really don't feel like words. touched his nose, turned around happily and ran to the main hall: "Then you pinch slowly, Master Ben will help Yao Shan and Yao Hai!" ”

ran to the main hall, but saw Yao Shan and Yao Hai about to paste the Spring Festival couplets at the door of the main hall. Jiang Zhixuan volunteered, took the ladder from Yao Shan's hand, and climbed up carefully. I never thought that after climbing to the top of the ladder, I was worried that I would fall off it. I didn't even dare to turn around, let alone post Spring Festival couplets.

The Yao brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw a strange smile in each other's eyes. But he didn't dare to laugh out loud, which hit his uncle's self-esteem. Yao Shan kindly spoke out for his uncle:

"Uncle, the Spring Festival couplets at the gate have not been written, you better write out the Spring Festival couplets first, these rough jobs will be done by our brothers!"

Jiang Zhixuan secretly scolded himself in his heart, but he didn't dare to be reckless, so he got off the donkey and climbed down the ladder with gritted teeth. angrily ran back to the study and worked hard to write.

After a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal is ready, you can't eat it first, you need to respect the ancestors first. Above the main seat of the main hall, there is a sign that reads "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher". This is dedicated to the scholarly door, and most of the ordinary people's homes are brands like "the god of the ancestors of so-and-so".

In front of the sign is a smaller offering table with a boiled pig's head and a tail in its mouth. Meaning: Ancestors, this is a whole pig with a head and a tail, you see how filial our children and grandchildren are, take a whole pig to honor you, eat it while it's hot......

Of course, in addition to the pig's head, there are other vegetables and fruits, and the ancestors can't just eat the pig's head. In addition to these foods, of course, there are also drinks, otherwise these ancestors will choke and be so angry that they will come back to life?

Taking advantage of the fact that the ancestors were feasting in the main hall, Jiang Zhixuan was the head of the family. You also need to lead the whole family to the courtyard to complete the last ritual before eating: roasting a winter cypress fire.

It is to pile a pile of cypress branches in the yard, which is lit by the head of the family, and then the whole family gathers around the fire. The flames reddened everyone's faces, and the crackling sound was accompanied by the sound of mustaches and small crisp laughter.

I listened to the aunt of the Jiang family say that roasting winter cypress fire can eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, and the human body will be healthy, people will be prosperous, and the grains will be abundant. At that time, I kept muttering in my heart, is there really such a god? She didn't know that this was actually a relic of ancient times, when people sacrificed fire to the sky.

After about a stick of incense, everyone was roasted warmly. Jiang Zhixuan got up at a small gesture and beckoned everyone back to the main hall. It doesn't matter whether the ancestors have eaten well or not, whether they will be mad or not, and they will directly remove those sacrificial supplies. After serving a meal that had not much residual warmth, and taking out a warm wine from the charcoal stove, the family began to enjoy the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

In a small impression. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the previous life seems to be similar to this. It is also necessary to sacrifice to the ancestors, but there is no custom of roasting winter cypress fire. In Jiang Zhixuan's view, this year is of extraordinary significance. In his heart, the current Jiang family will definitely be like the winter cypress fire in the courtyard, more and more prosperous! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at his beloved wife again. But he saw his beloved wife smiling all over her face, and she was looking at her with a clear heart. sighed in my heart, the Jiang family has been able to get to this point, almost all of it is the power of the beloved wife!

At that moment, Jiang Zhixuan finally threw the matter of the East Palace to the country of Guava. Completely calmed down, silently calculated: after the New Year, I began to work hard......

A reunion dinner, eating happily, laughter floated out of the hospital, flying in the open field. Under the snow, there is a new vitality!!!
