One hundred and forty-six chapters for the New Year

In the afternoon, a group of people who had made their beds and rested for a while also began to help.

That Zhong Yicheng little kid had already gone to the village to play with his friends.

In this mountain village, there is nothing to worry about, not to mention, the sun valley dam is in the center of the village.

A dozen people were divided into groups.

A few aunts and Chengxin's mother, holding a dustpan with soybeans and glutinous rice in it, gathered around to select, mainly some broken soybeans and pebbles in glutinous rice.

Tomorrow you have to push the bean curd to eat, and the morning after tomorrow you have to wrap the rice balls, so these two things have to be taken care of today, and you have to soak them in cold water overnight at night, otherwise it will be difficult to grind tomorrow.

Grandma and sister-in-law, and aunt were at the laundry sink on the edge of the yard, bathing the chickens and ducks that had just been wiped on their necks, and tidying up their feathers by the way.

And Cheng Xin and a few uncles, of course, joined the firewood army.

This firewood has to crack hard, not dozens of sticks, it is not enough for grandma and them to use it for a year, after all, they still have to eat pigs and pigs every day.

After dinner in the evening, Grandma stewed his duck soup, which had to be started a day earlier, otherwise it wouldn't be eaten at noon tomorrow.

And what about the rest?

Cheng Xin, Zhong Tao, uncle, uncle a table of mahjong.

Five aunts, six aunts, Cheng Ma, and aunts have a table of mahjong.

Uncle, five uncles, six uncles, plus Cheng Xin he clock a table of long cards, the local commonly known as the local people.

The rest of the old man, sister-in-law, Yicheng, and Zhenghao watch TV.

The battle lasted until after eleven o'clock, and the battle was very fierce, some returned with a big defeat, and some returned triumphantly, but they were all a family, and they didn't fight too much, and the wins and losses were only a hundred yuan.

After waking up in the morning and drinking porridge, the whole family went to work again.

Chengxin didn't want to crack firewood, so he grinded in the morning.

Under the eaves not far from the gate, there is a large graphite, Chengxin thinks, the grinding stone on it weighs at least 200 catties, at least more than 100 catties.

One person can't do it, so Zhong Tao also came over lazily and prepared to grind bean flowers with Chengxin.

This large stone mill requires the cooperation of three people, unlike the small one, which can be operated by one person.

There is a wooden handle on the side of the grinding stone, and there is a round hole in the wooden handle.

One of them has a round wooden tenon, which is set in the round hole of the wooden handle in the edging stone.

When grinding, two people grasp the rungs with both hands and work hard, and as the buttocks and waist swing back and forth, under the action of the grinding gear, the stone mill keeps turning.

When turning, the eldest aunt put it in a bucket, scooped a spoonful of soybeans mixed with water overnight with a big spoon, and put it in the hole in the middle of the grinding stone.

As the graphite turned, the beans slowly became fewer and fewer, and milky white bean juice with okara slowly flowed out from both sides of the millstone.

It then flows into the grooves on both sides of the grinding disc, and finally flows into a vat along the protruding notches of the grooves.

The two brothers felt that grinding bean curd might be easier than crackling firewood, but they didn't expect that this grinding would almost not be tired to death for half a day.

It takes more than an hour to grind beans, and another hour to grind glutinous rice.

After grinding the two, I feel that my waist is almost exhausted.

The ground bean juice is filtered out on one side, and then sent to the kitchen to cook, and the remaining bean dregs are divided into a little by the big buffalo and Ma Ge.

The ground glutinous rice was also wrapped in a cloth and hung under a useless table.

There is also a basin at the bottom to catch the water that invades from Naburi, after all, it is also added when grinding glutinous rice.

If you hang it overnight, there will basically be no water in the glutinous rice, and you will be able to wrap glutinous rice balls tomorrow.

At noon, with the efforts of a large pot, the dishes on the table were much richer than yesterday.

A pot of spicy boiled fish, bacon, sausages are essential, preserved pork tongue and pig heart slices, preserved pig's trotters stewed lotus, a small pot of radish stewed beef, a small pot of radish stewed mutton, a pot of duck soup, a pot of taro roast chicken,

Stir-fried green beans, pea slices, two things are yesterday

The day I brought it back.

Cold vermicelli, fried pork slices with shallots, a small plate in front of each table, and a bowl of bean curd in one direction.

Roasted white, steamed pork, glutinous rice dumplings.

There are a total of sixteen dishes, and a table is full, some are two and some are one, and it is basically a home-cooked meal for the New Year.

Seventeen people, sitting at two tables, if the lobby sister and the second cousin come back with the child husband, then there will be one table.

However, before it is served, there must be an old tradition of inviting ancestors to a New Year's dinner.

Set up a bowl on the main table, add a little rice to your fingers, and there is half a bowl of white wine on the side, and half a sweet potato, and a lit incense candle on it.

After the old man called the ancestors to eat the New Year's dinner, this table and bench could not be touched.

When I was young, adults said that I couldn't touch it, and it would hurt my stomach if I touched it, so Chengxin was always far away when he was a child, and I was afraid that I would have a stomachache after touching the bench.

When the ancestors were eating, Cheng Xin and Zhong Tao also took the paper money and burned it outside the gate.

When the ancestors finish eating, they have to take some money here when they leave!

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the old man called the ancestor to get off the table, and then went to the door to get the money, so that after that, everyone could go to the table to eat.

All the rice in the bowl is concentrated in one bowl, and the adults all say that this meal is good, but none of the juniors will eat it, and they are afraid that it will be too late.

In the end, it was basically solved by the old man.

The men's table, the women's table, the minors went to the women's table, and the family chatted and ate lively, so lively.

After eating, in the afternoon a group of people went to the village headquarters, where there were shops and mahjong parlors.

It's not that it's just to play cards, most of them are chatting and bragging with acquaintances over there, so Chengxin didn't go.

No way, now he is the richest man in Dashan Village, if he passes. Shall there be a great number of those who boast of him? Maybe there are a lot of daughters-in-law who introduce him to him!

I still eat the leftover dishes at noon in the evening, and I do a lot at noon, and I can't finish it at night, and I must have leftovers, which is called more than every year!

At night, that was the happiest time for Zhong Yicheng's little children, from big to small, kowtowing one by one to greet the New Year, and then receiving red envelopes one by one.

Of course, Zhenghao, who is still studying again, also got a red envelope, after all, he is not an adult and has no job.

"Auntie, what about mine?" Cheng Xin said pitifully to the eldest uncle.

"Yours? Your kid has been thirty in the past two years, and he also went to work, and the eldest aunt didn't look for you to pay respect, and you still want a red envelope? Would you like to wrap it up?"

The end means to be beaten once on the last day of the year.

If it is beaten on the first day of tomorrow, it is called Kaiyin. However, basically the first day of junior high school is not allowed to hit the child, otherwise it indicates that the child will be taught a lot of lessons this year.

When the two little ones are finished worshipping the New Year. A group of people began to play cards in groups again until twelve o'clock, and then set off firecrackers and fireworks.

However, there are not many fireworks in the village, after all, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is better to bring more food back with fireworks.

After the fireworks were lit, everyone did not continue to play cards, and went back to the house to sleep, and there was no legendary New Year's Eve until dawn.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, everyone got up and washed their faces and mouths first.

?? Why is this also being introduced? Because of today's first day of the new year, the customs of my hometown, everything cannot be poured out today, so the water for washing my face and brushing my teeth is packed in a bucket.

After the three brothers of Chengxin and the youngest generation of Zhong Yicheng, after washing, they were ready to eat glutinous rice balls.

As soon as Cheng Xin walked to the table, he saw his mother coming from the kitchen with a large basin, which was full of rice balls.

"Let's eat glutinous rice balls, see who is lucky and who makes a lot of money this year," Cheng's mother said.

This dumpling is wrapped in a dime coin, and whoever eats it is a sign of good luck this year.

Anyway, since he was a child, Chengxin has never eaten it once, and he often eats one or two more large rice balls in order to eat coins.

This time it was the same, Chengxin ate six steamed rice balls, but he still didn't eat them, and was finally eaten by the little brother Zhenghao.

Everyone said that she would definitely be admitted to a good university in the college entrance examination next year!

Cheng Xin thought on the side, can the luck of this thing be carried over to the next year? Isn't it fresh to eat from the next year?

After eating, the first day of the new year began to go to the grave, a group of people carrying incense, candles, paper money and firecrackers, and headed to the west, and there were groups of villagers with the same purpose on the road.

There are more than 10 graves next to the ancestral grave, each with five incense candles, and then firecrackers.

After everything is over, I go back to the old house, I want to play cards and cards, and I want to go to the village to brag about going to the village.

And the three brothers of Chengxin, plus a few sisters-in-law and nephews, went to find firewood on their backs, no matter what firewood.

After all, Chai Tongyin Cai, looking for Chai to go home on the first day of the new year, indicating that he will make a lot of money this year, hehe is a custom.

Until the evening, the old Zhong family's New Year is over, Chengxin feels very good about this New Year, although there is no wonderful content, but she thinks it is very good.

On Earth, everyone is separated, some live in the town, some are in the city, and every time the New Year is celebrated, several uncles take turns to invite them to New Year's dinner.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I went to the house where I should have the New Year's dinner, some ate in restaurants, and some ate at home.

After lunch, they bragged about playing cards, and after dinner, they might play cards, but before eleven o'clock, they all went back to their respective homes.

Then at home in the community, a few people in the family waited until after twelve o'clock, went downstairs to the side of the road to set off firecrackers, and then went home to sleep, which was not as lively as it is now.

Although I also eat and play cards here, it is a different feeling for a large family to get together to celebrate the New Year, and a small family to celebrate the New Year.

On the morning of the second day of junior high school, the five families said goodbye to the old man and grandmother. Then they went out of the mountain together, and after the New Year, it was time to go back to their parents' home.

Chengxin was not married, so he followed Cheng's mother and them to go to his grandmother's house.

After two days at my grandmother's house, I came back to stay in the town for four or five days, and after a few meals with Deng Gang and Ermei, Chengxin returned to the village in the eyes of Cheng's mother's hatred of iron and steel.

It wasn't until the tenth day of the new year that my cousin also came back after his relatives left.

And Chengxin's life trajectory has returned to the rhythm of making soundtracks and recording videos, after all, the New Year has been chic for more than ten days, and he has to work hard to replenish his inventory.
