Chapter 234: Chinese New Year

The place Chen Hui is talking about is probably in the southeast direction of our current situation, please note that it is "probably", and Chen Hui is not sure where that place is.

Walk along the path to the east, to the time when it is almost noon, there is no village, the main thing we take is not the road, are the kind of road that seems to be the road is not the road, where to go, no one knows, look around is a horse Pingchuan, just feel deserted.

At this time, Chen Hui beckoned a few of us to stop, it was noon, eat something and rest for a while before leaving.

The food we brought with us was the same as before we came to Uncle Liu's house, and there wasn't much food brought out from Uncle Liu's house, because we still had food, so we didn't let Uncle Liu prepare so much for us. At this time, most of the remaining food was boiled eggs, which were given by the villagers in the previous village, and they were never willing to eat it, because it was stored for a long time, and it was winter, and it couldn't be broken for ten days and a half months, so the food we brought was enough for us to eat for four or five days.

A few people sat down in a leeward ditch, and wanted to eat eggs and drink water at the same time, but who knows, the water in the kettle was frozen, and the whole thing was hard, like a lump of stones.

No way, the four of them got some dry grass branches, after lit, while heating, while putting the kettle in front of the smoke, due to the uneven heating, plus the mouth of the kettle is smaller, after the ice inside is roasted, we don't know, the hot steam can't come out, just hold it in the kettle, hold it for a long time, suddenly "poof", spewed out of the mouth of the kettle, scared us a few times, we were stunned at first, and then laughed. Then he learned to be obedient, and turned it to the smoke and roast, so that the water in the kettle was evenly heated.

It was at this time that I "hurt" the boiled eggs, and until now, I feel sick to my stomach when I see the boiled eggs. Just imagine, that kind of boiled cold eggs have been stored for several days, and the weather is cold, and it is not digested at all when you eat them, and then you can be nauseous all day after eating both.

After eating eggs and drinking water, the four of them rested for a while, and then continued to walk forward, and walked out for about a few miles, and a large road running north-south appeared in front of them.

Coming to the main road, Chen Hui led us to the south again, anyway, we were confused, Chen Hui told us to go wherever we went, and we followed.

Walked along the road for a few miles, the villages on both sides of the road gradually increased, it seems that this area is the gathering place of the village, the population is quite dense, during the period, we also passed along the road through a very lively town, maybe it is almost the New Year, it looks very lively, however, we did not stop.

I walked along the road until it was dark, and there was a village next to the road, and four people got into the village, and found a dead end in the village where no one was, and the alley was quite clean, and several people spread the cover into the alley.

The first year, the twenty-fourth of the new year, passed like this.

The next day, the twenty-fifth year of the new year, no longer along the road to the south, but to the east, and began to take those country roads, this day, I don't know how far to go out, I don't remember the specifics, just remember, that night, we slept in the grass nest, late at night there was a northeast wind, the cold wind howled, the ghost cried wolf. I remember that Qiang Shun asked me at the time, and Qiang Shun asked, isn't it warmer the further south you go, why is it still so cold. I told him, how far we have come, and the road for these two days is at most from our house to Zhengzhou.

On the twenty-sixth day of the Lunar New Year, we walked south for another day, and that night, I remember, it seemed to be spent in a town. When I woke up the next day, it was the twenty-seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and I still had a slight impression of this day.

Because on the night of the twenty-sixth, it was very cold, and in the middle of the night, there were some naughty children on the road to set off firecrackers, so noisy that we fell asleep very late, and we got up a little late on the morning of the twenty-seventh, and when we packed up, we went to their town to see, the whole street was set up to sell things and sell New Year's goods, and the streets were bustling with people, very lively.

As soon as Qiang Shun saw this formation, he told me, why are they here the same as our village, and our village also has a set on the twenty-seventh. Yes, there is also a market on the 27th day of the New Year in our village, and there are a lot of New Year's goods sold, but the market in our village cannot be compared with the one in the town.

At this time, our food was almost finished, and Chen Hui planned to buy some food at the market. In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, restaurants, stalls and other things have closed their doors, and if there is no food in reserve, we will be hungry for the New Year.

After walking around the market, I didn't buy anything that could be eaten directly, not dry goods for the New Year, or vegetables and raw meat, and finally, Chen Hui actually turned to a stall that helped people write Spring Festival couplets and did not leave, the stall was a little old man in his sixties, the old man not only helped people write Spring Festival couplets, but also sold calendars, perpetual calendars, and also sold old books, the books are the kind of second-hand books that don't look very new, and the whole stall looks like a bit of literary and ink. Chen Hui stopped there and looked at the books.

At this time, Qiang Shun and I were not interested in books at all, we were almost hungry, what were we doing with books, and the three of us went to the stall next to us to see the live fish.

At that time, our family had never eaten fish during the Chinese New Year, and we almost didn't see a fish once a year, but when we were young, we caught an inch long small fish in the wild pit, this kind of big fish that is a foot long and lively is a rare object for us, and it is no exaggeration to say that it feels like a person in a ravine coming out to see a car.

After looking at the fish for a while, Chen Hui didn't know what to buy at the stall where the Spring Festival couplets were written, and then beckoned us to go around elsewhere.

The four of them turned around again, and came to a place that sold apples, there was really no way, don't look at the many things in the market, there are not many things that can be eaten directly as dry food, they are all bought by people to go home and fry and fry, we don't have anything, buy these things, we can only stare and watch.

There are some dim sum sellers, but Chen Hui is reluctant to buy it, Chen Hui's money is still borrowed from Lu Gong, and when he returns to our house, he spends some of it, at this time, there may be two or three hundred, if we don't save a little money, we will be hungry in a few days.

Chen Hui bought more than 20 catties of apples at the apple stall, apples were not very expensive at that time, and I asked the specific amount of money, and finally let the stupid cow carry the apples on his shoulders. Subsequently, Chen Hui may also feel that buying apples as dry food, the New Year is not a thought, a ruthless heart bought a few pounds of pig's head meat, this is cooked, can be eaten directly, said let's wait until the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first year to eat, it is considered the New Year, give us to improve the food, which makes the three of us happy, looking at the pig's head meat only swallowing saliva. After that, there was nothing to buy, and there was no one who sold steamed bread and baked cakes during the Chinese New Year.

When it was almost noon, we left the town, continued to walk south, and ate apples when we were hungry, I only found out the benefits of apples at this time, which can be eaten as steamed buns, can be used as water to drink, and quench hunger and thirst, however, the three of us still want to eat pig's head meat, but Chen Hui always said to us with a straight face, keep it for the New Year!

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, we came to a town again, this town is not big, but the taste of the New Year is quite sufficient, and the lights are everywhere. In the evening, the four of them ate a few apples, although this apple is hungry and thirst-quenching, but it is not food after all, it is not a long time to last, eat one, at most an hour, more than 20 catties of apples, from yesterday noon to this time, two days of effort, only three or four left.

We still want to eat pig's head meat, but before the New Year, Chen Hui did not let it, the three of us at this time, just like when we were children looking forward to the New Year, looking forward to the arrival of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, that year was not thirty, after twenty-eight, twenty-nine is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

That night, that is, on the night of the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, we slept under an old tree, and we didn't feel anything at that time, and I also dreamed of a few people, happily eating pig's head meat together, which was really thinking day and night. Who knows, when I got up the next morning and packed my luggage, I found that grandma's, pig's head meat was missing, several people looked back and forth, near where we slept, there was a messy dog hoof print, several people were quite hot, especially me and Qiang Shun, finally endured until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and saw that it could be eaten, and actually let the dog go. Grandma's, whose dog did a good thing, you have to kill it!

At this time, I could only gnaw on the cold apples, and when I ate them, my heart was cold. There are three or four apples left, and after eating, I am still very hungry, and there is no way, this big New Year, each person takes out their own porcelain bowls and chopsticks, goes door to door, and has to eat again.

Fortunately, at this time, every family has something to eat, especially there is no shortage of steamed buns and vegetable buns, we have to get a few bowls of rice porridge, a few vegetable buns filled with radish, and we have sent the meal in the morning, but I am very depressed with Qiang Shun and Silly Niu, and the pig's head meat is not grinning......

At noon, we didn't leave the town, there was nothing to eat, and we didn't have to go hungry when we left?

In the first year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the four of us squatted in a corner of their town, smelling all kinds of scents wafting from the cold wind. When I was at home, I didn't believe that one day, the Chinese New Year's Eve could live like this.

Qiang Shun and I want to take a bowl and go door to door to ask for food, at this time everyone is good food, we should be able to have some delicious food, but Chen Hui stopped us, Chen Hui said, wait until noon and then go, this time to pass, the New Year, people see the food standing at the door of the house, will feel unlucky.

Hearing Chen Hui say this, we had no choice but to give up, and several people were still hungry in the cold wind, until noon passed, Chen Hui stood up from the ground, beckoned the three of us, and took the bowls......
