Tang Xiaofu sisters did not stay up late, in the past in the Tang family for the New Year, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner did not have their share, so they did not participate in the New Year, but this year is the first New Year to get rid of the Tang family, the sisters are very excited plus get up late in the morning, now there is no sleepiness at all, so they take turns to tell stories to pass the time, Fang Wenjing sat on the side and listened to the two daughters tell stories with a smile, she is not very literate, and it is difficult to read, so she likes to listen to other people's stories.

Just say it, say it, drink a cup of tea when you are thirsty, or eat a cold and cold mandarin orange, and then continue, I don't know how long it took, the two Tang Xiaofu sisters were still in good spirits, and suddenly there was a whip outside, and the small alarm clock on the cabinet of five drawers also pointed to twelve o'clock at midnight, and the time for the old and new to communicate had finally arrived.

Tang Xiaofu's mother and daughter couldn't help grinning when they listened to the endless sound of firecrackers outside, and their hearts were also very excited, the new year has finally arrived!

There are no boys in their family who don't set off firecrackers, but you can watch people put them, the mother and daughter all walked out of the house, looked into the village, and saw the bright light of the firecrackers flickering in the dark night, fleeting, rendering the night extremely beautiful, the mother and daughter were all happy, even the snowflakes fell on the face and the cold wind blew on the body did not feel cold, and they watched for a long time before entering the house.

This Chinese New Year's Eve is the most comfortable and happiest year ever for their mother and daughter.

The whip that blows up at twelve o'clock at midnight at the turn of the new and old years can be blown from twelve o'clock in the morning to one o'clock in the morning.

It wasn't until the sound of firecrackers gradually thinned out that Fang Wenjing fell asleep with her two daughters.

At about five o'clock in the morning of the first day of the new year, there was another whip one after another, this time Tang Xiaofu didn't understand the meaning of the whip at all, but this whip also has a name, called "travel whip", is it only by blowing up this whip, people can go out of the house.

This day before half past six to worship the ancestors, the first day of the new year must first say hello to the ancestors, many families will take the ingots candle up the mountain to see the ancestors, the highest elders in the family with their children and grandchildren to kowtow to the ancestors, ask the ancestors for the blessing of the new year.

Tang Xiaofu's mother and daughter all broke away from the Tang family, so naturally they didn't have to pay attention to the matter of worshipping their ancestors, Tang Xiaofu turned over in the whip and continued to sleep, this night the mother and daughter slept until eight o'clock in the morning before getting up, Fang Wenjing took out the new clothes she made for her two sisters and let them wear them.

The two Tang Xiaofu sisters' new clothes are almost the same, all of them are corduroy, only one is red, the other is peach, both are small round lapels, embroidered on the neckline and purse, the workmanship is very exquisite, and the pants are all black corduroy.

The two sisters laughed and put on new clothes, Tang Xiaofu combed a pair of braids, tied a bow at the ends of the braids, Xiaolan was also dressed like her, Fang Wenjing smiled and squinted: "When you dress up like this, people think you are twins." ”

Tang Xiaofu's sisters all looked at each other and smiled, although they are sisters, but the two don't look alike, Xiaolan looks like Fang Wenjing, Xiaofu is neither like Fang Wenjing, nor like Tang Zhenzhong, but she is also very beautiful.

Fang Wenjing looked at the two sisters with a smile: "Don't you know what you're going to do on the morning of the first day of junior high school?" ”

The two sisters really didn't know what to do, and they were staring at each other.

"Do you want to pay New Year's greetings to your elders?" Fang Wenjing reminded with a funny smile.

Tang Xiaofu and the two sisters woke up like a dream, and hurriedly gave Fang Wenjing New Year's greetings, Fang Wenjing smiled and gave each of her two daughters a red envelope wrapped in red paper, the two sisters opened it and saw that there was a two-dollar bill inside, this is the New Year's money given by the mother, the two sisters were so happy, Tang Xiaofu hugged Fang Wenjing and kissed her on the face, Xiaolan did the same, and also hugged Fang Wenjing and kissed her heavily, Fang Wenjing smiled happily.

This breakfast on the first day of the new year is very important, called "welcome meal", and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is as important, sloppy, as long as the conditions have passed, the whole family will make a table full of dishes for the whole family to eat, and this meal can not eat the leftover meals of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

So Fang Wenjing stewed a pot of fresh rice and made three dishes, braised fat sausages are indispensable, there are many in this family, and they are delicious, the mother and daughter all love to eat, and then there is a little cabbage boiled balls and a pot of radish bone broth.

Hubei rural Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not allowed to make soup and water dishes, saying that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is drunk soup, it is easy to rain in the coming days, it is inconvenient to visit relatives and friends, but the welcome meal on the morning of the first day of the new year can make soup.

This welcome meal still has to eat a bowl of white rice, Tang Xiaofu and the two sisters directly picked up the rice bowl and soaked in soup to eat, did not eat vegetables first and then eat like yesterday, the taste of starvation is not comfortable, but it is also uncomfortable to eat too full.

After eating the New Year's meal and putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Fang Wenjing used several large plates to put on the table the dumplings, small twist flowers, peanuts, and melon seeds that were like a hill, and then lit a brazier, opened the door wide, and prepared to welcome the people in the village to greet each other.

Although this ceremony must be carried out, but generally each family sends their own children to go, and they must also tell them not to miss anyone's family, unless the two families have a feud, the children in the family must have to pay New Year's greetings to others, otherwise the family that is missed will be angry in their hearts, thinking that the other party looks down on themselves.

Because all the children who come to pay New Year's greetings are children, so every family has to prepare some snacks, so Fang Wenjing put out so many snacks, but she didn't put out the fruits and fennel beans, she plans to keep a little fruit for her two daughters to eat, and then send some to the uncle's family, there are not many fennel beans, so they will be left for their two daughters to eat.

After a while, the children in the village were all wearing new clothes, stepping on the creaking snow, and flocking into Tang Xiaofu's house to greet Fang Wenjing for the New Year.

Xiao Douding, who is under the age of ten, will pull the pockets of his clothes wide, so that Fang Wenjing can put snacks in.

The older children took it after a while, but they held it with both hands, and then put it in their pockets, and then Fang Wenjing took out the small cloth bag containing the fruit candy, and each child gave three fruit candy, and she didn't dare to put the fruit candy directly on the plate for the children to grab casually, for fear that the first batch of children to come would see the candy and ignore anything.

After the children in the village paid their respects to Fang Wenjing, they flocked to the next family, and the two Tang Xiaofu sisters also went to pay New Year's greetings to the people in the village.

Usually, this kind of New Year's greeting procession is constantly inserted in the middle, and then there are children who have already finished worshipping the whole village from the procession.

More than an hour later, the two Tang Xiaofu sisters came back with snacks in their pockets after greeting the village elders, and the two sisters stood in front of the dining table and took out the snacks in their pockets, including peanuts, melon seeds, broad beans and dried sweet potatoes, adding up to a small pile.
