Buying New Year's goods is a must-have for every family before the Chinese New Year.

By the last day of the year, the market on this side of the high ceremony was full of people.

At this time, those who went to the city to work, work outside, and study basically returned to their parents.

At this time, the countryside is the most lively, and there is no time of the year when it is more lively.

On the last day of the market, it was Gao Dian's favorite thing when he was a child, looking at the festive lanterns and the dazzling array of goods, just shopping without buying, I felt very fun.

Not to mention, at this time, there are the most dried fruit snacks, what melon seeds, peanuts, red dates candied fruit, what candy biscuits, everything.

At this time, adults are often not too stingy, and they are reluctant to buy what they used to buy, but they are willing to buy today.

In the past, Gao Dian just asked for things, and paying for anything was not in his mind.

Now, it's all him buying.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed that he was in the position of his parents.

Gao Dian's family bought New Year's goods and purchased them aggressively.

Originally, Gao Huaqiang and Zhou Yanxia didn't want to buy so many things, according to their ideas, just buy a little, just enough to eat.

But Gao Dian felt that it was better to buy more, and during the Chinese New Year, there would be guests at home, and there would be no need to go out to buy some things at that time.

It happened that Gao Dian drove the car, although the space was not large, but it was more than carrying a shoulder.

Because there are still many things today, we have to post couplets, door gods, and disturb hygiene, and prepare for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

So the trio didn't stay long.

This time, when they came out to purchase New Year's goods, the two elders had very opinions, not because of anything else, but because they felt that the ingredients Gao Dian bought were too expensive.

But Gao Dian didn't think that the ingredients he bought were also commonly used ingredients, and he often used these ingredients in the Dian Xin Building.

So it seemed okay to him.

After Gao Dian's explanation, the second elder also reluctantly accepted Gao Dian's statement.

Back at home, the three of them got busy.

Gao Dian went to the kitchen to prepare some ingredients for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, these ingredients need to be prepared in advance, if you make it temporarily, it is too late.

Zhou Yanxia began to clean.

Because it is the last day of the year, she is going to have a big cleaning, not only at home, but also outside the yard.

Gao Huaqiang is preparing a paste to paste the Spring Festival couplets and door gods.

After a while, Gao Huaqiang shouted outside: "Xiaodian! Xiaodian! ”

"Hey!"

Gao Dian answered in the kitchen.

"You come out and help me." Gao Hua shouted loudly.

"Right now, I'll get this place and come here." Gao Dian replied loudly.

"Hurry up!"

"Okay."

Gao Dian sped up his movements and finished the things in the kitchen for the time being.

These ingredients need time to be processed slowly, and everything Gao Dian can do has already been done, and the next thing will be handed over to time.

Wiping his hands, Takano came outside.

"You hold it for me, and I'll let you hand it to me later, and hand it to me." Gao Huaqiang said.

Gao Dian looked at the bench and said, "Dad, let's come, I'll also post the Spring Festival couplets this year." ”

Gao Huaqiang was stunned, and in a trance there was a feeling that Gao Dian had grown up, and he smiled: "Okay, you will post it this year." ”

Gao Dian answered, climbed to the bench and stood.

Last year's Spring Festival couplets have been cleaned up by my father, although there are still some remnants, but it does not affect anything.

"Dad, give me the paste first." Gao Dian said.

"Come here, take it." Gao Huaqiang handed over the paste and said.

Gao Dian took the paste and brushed the place to be pasted first, and the area was larger.

After brushing, Gao Dian said, "Dad, hand me the Spring Festival couplets." ”

"Come on, here." Gao Huaqiang handed over a piece of the Spring Festival couplets.

Subsequently, Gao Dian held the Spring Festival couplets and asked, "Dad, you can help me take a look, are you ready?" ”

Gao Huaqiang took a few steps back and said, "You are a little lower on the left, and you are lifted up...... That's right, that's the location. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he pressed the Spring Festival couplets on the wall with his hand, and the paste instantly stuck the Spring Festival couplets.

Next, it is a more meticulous work, and the Spring Festival couplets should be flattened little by little.

This Spring Festival couplet is a façade, when others come over, the first thing they see is the Spring Festival couplet, although they may read the content of the Spring Festival couplets carefully.

But the Spring Festival couplets are uneven, flat or uneven, people can see it at a glance.

Therefore, when pasting Spring Festival couplets, you must be very careful.

Paste one side, Gao Dian will paste the horizontal batch again, and then paste the other side.

The couplets at the gate are the largest and most luxurious.

Gao Dian's father felt that the Spring Festival couplets at the gate must be magnificent, and the so-called majestic atmosphere means that the Spring Festival couplets are wide and long.

Gao Dian stood in the distance and looked at it, with "Five Blessings Coming to the Door and Good Luck Open" on the left, "Everything goes well" on the right, and "Lucky Stars Shine High" horizontally.

In red and black, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival suddenly came up.

The Spring Festival couplets of the Spring Festival are mostly some words of blessing.

The door gods are "Qin Shubao" and "Wei Chigong", and their images have long been different from the original historical figures.

In addition to the Spring Festival couplets of the door, the other doors need to be pasted.

Gao Dian's kitchen here, and even the room where the chickens and ducks are closed, have Spring Festival couplets pasted.

After pasting these, there are still blessing words or something, which also need to be pasted.

Gao Dian was posting, Gao Huaqiang was watching from the sidelines, and gave guidance from time to time.

Father and son, quickly got all of this done.

"Alright, there's nothing you need to do here, I'll go hang up the lanterns and lanterns." Gao Huaqiang said.

The New Year's lanterns must be bright red, and the lanterns must be colorful and flashing.

Although Gao Dian thinks that there is no need for lanterns or anything, it is good to hang a lantern.

But his father thinks that there must be this atmosphere during the New Year, and the lanterns or something must not only be there, but also long.

Just this lantern, Gao Huaqiang specially bought it, the kind that was lengthened.

"Dad, I'll get it." Gao Dian said.

To get this, you can't get it with a bench, you have to build a ladder.

Gao Dian is worried about the danger of his father climbing up and down.

Gao Huaqiang said: "I'll just come, you won't get it." ”

Gao Dian was silent, to get these things, you need to connect the electricity, inside the lantern, you have to install the bulb, he really can't get it.

Seeing Gao Dian's face, Gao Huaqiang smiled: "Okay, I'll get these things, don't worry about anything, you're not at home, I won't get it." Just help me hold on to the ladder. ”

"Okay." Gao Dian responded.

I made up my mind that I had to learn about it myself.

"You two haven't finished it yet?" Zhou Yanxia asked.

"Not yet, I'll be done later." Gao Huaqiang replied.

Zhou Yanxia responded, and then Gao Huaqiang whispered: "You have to hurry up, otherwise your mother will have to scold again." ”

When the lanterns are arranged, they look different from normal days, and they look much more festive.

Gao Huaqiang went to the power to look at the situation, and nodded with satisfaction, if the specific effect is concerned, it will not be known until the evening.

"Come and help me clean it when you're done, Xiaodian, you go and make lunch, it's almost twelve o'clock." Zhou Yanxia said.

In fact, it didn't take much time to put up couplets and arrange lanterns.

"It's coming, it's coming." Gao Huaqiang hurriedly responded.

Gao Dian asked, "Mom, what do you want to eat at noon?" ”

"Just eat whatever you want, let's keep it simple." Zhou Yanxia said.

Gao Dian was silent for a while, and then said, "Then I'll cook some noodles and eat them." ”

"Okay." Zhou Yanxia responded.

Gao Dian walked into the kitchen, and the second elder was cleaning outside.

Although his mother said that it would be easier at noon, Gao Dian didn't want to make it really simple.

He went and got a piece of pork belly and was going to make a barbecued pork.

The practice of barbecued pork is actually very simple, that is, it is rolled up with pork belly, pressed tightly, and tied with cotton thread.

Then put the meat roll in the pot and cook slowly, and the soy sauce should be heavier, so that the cooked barbecued pork has that color.

While the barbecued pork was cooking, Gao Dian reconciled the dough.

The soup base is very simple, boiled with shiitake mushrooms, and this soup base has a flavor of shiitake mushrooms, which is better than pure boiled water.

The soup is mainly made with pork bones, which is too late now and there is not enough time.

After the char siu is cooked, cut into thin slices and the dough is ready.

After the noodles are ready, they are boiled in the pot and scooped up, and Gao Dian fried three more eggs, and put one in a bowl for one person.

The barbecued pork should be arranged one by one, and the shiitake mushrooms should also be scooped up and arranged, and then sprinkled with a little green onion to garnish.

"Mom and Dad, it's time to eat." Gao Dian shouted.

"Okay, right away." Zhou Yanxia responded.

Sitting at the dinner table, the family ate slowly with a bowl of noodles, and in the middle there was a plate of bacon left over from last night.

Eating noodles, her mother Zhou Yanxia said: "In the afternoon, you and I will clean up the yard and dam, and the road at the door will also be cleaned. ”

Gao Dian's family, although it is located in the countryside, but every household has a cement road.

Most of these cement roads are officially funded, but they are extended to every household, and they will pay a little money themselves, but the majority is still officially paid.

Gao Huaqiang said: "Yes, I'll get a shovel and clean up some things in the yard after dinner." ”

"By the way, I want to wipe the window too, but I'm not that high, you can help me wipe it later."

"Okay, why don't you just let me wipe it."

"It's okay, I can still wipe the low places."

"Okay."

Zhou Yanxia nodded, and then chatted with Gao Huaqiang about the short of parents.

Most of these topics Gao Dian couldn't interject, he could only listen silently.

However, such an atmosphere made Gao Dian feel inexplicably relaxed and comfortable.

"Otherwise, we will call Uncle Xiaodian and Uncle Xiaodian over for dinner tonight, grandparents and grandparents have not been here for the New Year for a long time." Gao Huaqiang said suddenly.

When Zhou Yanxia heard this, she nodded and said, "Okay, I don't have any questions, you can call and ask later." ”

Gao Dian didn't dare to speak, in fact, there were many people and few people, and he was acceptable.

There are few people, just he celebrates the New Year like his parents. There are more people, and it is more lively, which is also good.

"Okay, then I'll call them later." Gao Huaqiang said.

Zhou Yanxia responded.

Soon, everyone finished eating.

Gao Huaqiang went to call, and Zhou Yanxia helped Gao Dian clean up here, although Gao Dian said no, Zhou Yanxia still insisted.

The kitchen was cleaned up, and at this time, Gao Huaqiang walked in from outside and said: "Their uncle and uncle have agreed, Xiaodian, your parents will prepare some dishes today." ”

"Okay." Gao Dian answered, and after a pause, he asked again: "Grandma, do you want to shout?" ”

"No, your grandparents and grandmothers are going to celebrate the New Year at your uncle's house, and they won't come." Zhou Yanxia said.

When Chinese New Year's Eve, the family also wants to be reunited, and generally speaking, it will not come out.

Gao Dian responded, since his mother said so, then he didn't care so much.

In the evening, the three families get together for the New Year, eat Chinese New Year's Eve meals together, and there are a lot of ingredients to prepare.

After the family discussed, Gao Dian was busy in the kitchen, while the second elder continued to clean.

The busyness of the last day of the year seems to have a festive flavor.

After a while, Gao Dian hurriedly walked out and said in a loud voice, "Mom, Dad, I'll go out and buy something." ”

"What are you going to buy?" Gao Huaqiang asked.

"I don't see enough food at home, so I'm going to buy some more. Dad, you can come up with a net fish later, there is still a fish that is better tonight. Gao Dian said.

"Okay, I'll get it here later." Gao Huaqiang nodded.

"You drive slowly." Zhou Yanxia admonished.

"I know, don't worry." Gao Dian responded.

Gao Dian drove out to buy groceries.

……………………

"Dad, you said we would go to the second uncle's house tonight for the New Year?" Gao Dian's cousin asked.

"That's right, your second uncle called and said that your grandparents hadn't been to their house for the New Year for a long time, so he asked us to go over together." Uncle Gao Dian said.

When Gao Dian's cousin heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll tell Xiaoru." ”

"Hmm." Uncle Gao Dian nodded.

Xiaoru is his cousin's daughter-in-law.

"Which dress do you think I'm going to wear?" Grandpa Gao Dian asked.

"It's good for you to wear this, it looks good." Grandma Gao Dian said.

"That's okay, I'll wear this when I go to Erli." Grandpa said.

"And what do you think of me wearing this?" Grandma asked.

"I think it's good for you to wear this, festive." Grandpa said.

Uncle Gao Dian walked in and saw that the second elder was carefully selecting clothes, and couldn't help but say, "Parents, you don't have to go anywhere else, so you don't have to be so particular about dressing." ”

"You know what, we're poorly dressed, that's a disgrace to you. Let the second child see it, and think you are abusing us. Grandpa said.

Uncle smiled bitterly: "Whatever you want, the second child is not that kind of person." ”

On the other side, Gao Dian's third uncle's family was also talking about it.

"Are we really going?" Aunt Gao Dian asked.

"Go, anyway, the two of us will celebrate the New Year at home this year, and we are also in a panic, just go to the second brother's house for the New Year, and it will be more lively." The third uncle of Gao Dian said.

"Alas~ Ran Ran, this girl, won't come back for the New Year after getting married." Aunt Gao Dian said.

"Didn't they say that the family had a New Year, they spent it at their house this year, and they will come back next year." The third uncle comforted.

"Okay, you can go as you say." The third aunt said.
