Jinling No. 1 Senior High School Family Hospital;

Since Wang Xiaoyuan went home from the holiday on the 23rd of the lunar month, in the middle of the few days, because Wang Xuechen is the director of the third grade of the school, the school has arranged these days to correct the papers and do the analysis of the test papers and arrange a series of work after the start of school, until the twenty-seventh; On the morning of the twenty-eighth morning, Wang Xuechen took a family of four on the way back to his hometown.

Wangjiazhuang, Tangyi District, Jinling City;

This is Wang Chuhan's grandfather's house, and when he came to his hometown, the neighbors greeted him again, saying how the child is studying, how much is your salary, etc., Wang Chuhan laughed for a while. After finishing speaking, he returned to the door of his house, and there was a sign of the glorious family members of the glorious family hanging at the door, and Wang Xiaoyuan opened his mouth and shouted:

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandma, grandma, why is there no one, Dad, take your key to open the door, my grandparents are not at home."

Wang Xuechen handed the key to Wang Xiaoyuan, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley, saw a familiar person and asked:

"Aunt Wang, have you seen my parents, why aren't they at home";

"They went out early in the morning to buy New Year's goods, and now they are coming back soon, you go home and wait," Aunt Wang looked at the time and said;

"Okay, then I'll go back, Aunt Wang will see you back" said goodbye to Aunt Wang and went home, as soon as I told the children about it, we watched TV at home.

It didn't take long for the grandparents to come back, and Wang Chuhan hurriedly stepped forward to take the things and said:

"Grandparents, you really go out to buy things on such a cold day, didn't you tell you, we'll come back and buy again, what if it freezes, I feel sorry for me";

"Good granddaughter, doesn't grandpa want you to eat delicious food early, grandpa is in good health, good" Grandpa Wang said to Wang Chuhan dotingly;

"Dad, we have almost prepared the New Year's goods, let's take a look at what is missing in a while, you tell me, I'll buy it" Wang Xuechen finished speaking and checked it with Grandpa Wang;

"Basically, I bought everything, it seems that I didn't buy the lanterns and mutton, you and the children will go to the market and buy them back in a while" Grandpa Wang finished speaking, and went back to the house to talk to the baby grandchildren:

"Hyo-won is in his third year of high school this year, isn't it time to take the university entrance examination next year, have you figured out which university to take the exam?" Grandpa Wang said and looked at Wang Xiaoyuan.

"Yes, in the third year of high school this year, I want to go to Guangling University, I want to go to their school's Faculty of Letters, choose a major in Chinese language and literature, and be a people's teacher like my father," Wang Xiaoyuan said with a look of admiration.

"Okay, there is a chance, you and your father will go buy some things later, if you like anything, buy it directly, and grandpa will reimburse you" Grandpa Wang said happily; After saying that, Wang Xuechen and his son drove to the market to buy the rest of the New Year's goods, and the two of them just arrived at the market and saw a strong New Year's flavor, which is an atmosphere that cannot be seen in the urban area, and they parked the car and began to look for the missing New Year's goods, that is, lanterns and beef and mutton.

They first bought lanterns, the style of the lantern is varied, there are big red source lanterns, there are oval long lanterns, paper-cut lanterns, calligraphy lanterns and palace lanterns, they are large and small, Wang Xiaoyuan and Wang Xuechen father and son discussed, bought a pair of big red round lanterns, a pair of medium-sized palace lanterns, a few strings of small paper-cut lanterns spent nearly two hundred yuan, after paying Wang Xuechen said to the boss:

"Boss, put these lanterns here for you first, and then come back to get them together after I buy other things" After the boss agreed, the two of them started a journey to buy meat, and there were countless good-looking and delicious foods along the way, Wang Xiaoyuan said to Wang Xuechen:

"It's good that I didn't bring my sister here, otherwise I don't know how much it will cost with her character, grandpa is really prescient, right, Dad."

Wang Xuechen slapped Wang Xiaoyuan on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile:

"Do you have such a brother?" the two of them laughed again.

Just when they were talking and laughing, a lot of people gathered not far away, I don't know what happened, Wang Xiaoyuan's curiosity was ignited at once, he pulled Wang Xuechen and squeezed forward, squeezed to the front only to see that this is a stall selling meat, at the assembly in the rural hometown, the meat sellers are killed and sold, so that it is fresh and not adulterated, it can make people buy more assured, there is a cow tied to the back of the meat stall, it turns out that this is a beef stall, the two cows that were originally slaughtered, the meat has almost been sold out. There are still many people in the market now, and the boss has pulled another end from home, which is the one tied to the back;

When he was about to slaughter, he saw that the cow's legs suddenly knelt on the ground, and crystal tears flowed from his eyes

"The cow is a very intelligent animal, it can predict its own death, this cow is spiritual, otherwise the boss, don't kill this cow" As soon as the man finished speaking, the people next to him also said;

'yes, let it go'

'Pull it home and keep it'

"It's just that let's take it home and raise it, this kind of cow is not common."

'yes, boss, just let it go.'"

After everyone finished speaking, the boss also agreed with everyone's opinions; After selling the rest of the meat, he cleaned up the stall and took this special cow home; After more than eight months, the cow that was rescued by everyone gave birth to two calves, but the boss was very happy, of course, this is a later story.

Come on, the beef was not bought, and the two of them turned around in the back again, not to mention, they met a stall selling beef again, but Wang Xiaoyuan and his wife did not buy it, and the impact just now has not been digested, Wang Xuechen said to his son Wang Xiaoyuan:

"Son, we won't eat beef this year"

"Well, good," Wang Xiaoyuan replied thoughtfully, then bought some mutton and walked back, turned to the place where he bought the lantern, took the lantern and drove home.

After returning home, began to eat lunch, in the afternoon, Wang Xuechen and Wang Xiaoyuan father and son hung up the lanterns on the gate, and hung the palace lanterns on both sides of the main house door, and finally pulled a string of paper-cut lanterns in the yard, and let the grandfather write couplets and blessing words, their father and son were busy for a while, and when the work was done, the courtyard was full of joy and beauty, and Wang Xiaoyuan said what he saw in the market at dinner in the evening:

"Grandpa, after we bought lanterns in the market, we saw a group of people around the stall selling beef to buy meat, my father and I also squeezed over, we just walked to the stall and saw that the cow that was going to be killed suddenly knelt on the ground and left tears, which shocked me, and finally the cow was pulled back, many people said that the cow has aura, is it true?".

"There is such a saying, the cow is diligent, hard-working, it is very smart and aura, we must have this kind of spiritual support, we must be down-to-earth, do not rush to the doctor, we must be calm and calm, do not be reckless, so as not to regret, for this cow we will not eat beef this year, today is also tired for a day, go to bed early after eating, tomorrow we will steam steamed buns."

"Our steamed steamed buns for the New Year are colorful and rich. Due to the different styles of steamed buns, the meanings are naturally different: the fish shape is auspicious, the peach shape is longevity, the apple shape is peace and happiness, the catfish steamed bun means "more than every year", the ingots steamed bun means fortune and treasure, and the steamed bun is dotted with five large red dates to imply a bumper harvest in the coming year. And these steamed buns made into the shape of hedgehogs, dragons, etc., are said to be a kind of "holy insects", taking the sound of "leftover" and "rising", which means that there is a surplus of food in the coming year, and the days are rising step by step. There is still a little red on the steamed bun, which means that it is prosperous, which is a kind of wish and wish for a better life in the new year. ”

After Grandpa finished speaking, Wang Chuhan and the others went back to sleep, and when they slept until dawn, they were still woken up by the rooster crowing at home; Wang Chuhan got up in the morning and saw his grandparents and parents preparing steamed buns, and Wang Chuhan's brother undoubtedly didn't run away from the fire, and everyone saw the little princess get up. Grandpa Wang smiled and said:

"Baby granddaughter, why don't you sleep more?"

Wang Chuhan thought to himself, 'I also want to sleep more, but the rooster at home won't let me sleep, clucking non-stop, I can't sleep, hey~ These words are also said in my heart, if my parents hear it, I may have to say it again' but said:

"Grandpa is early, I get up at this time at home, and I can't sleep at this point."

In the city, instead of getting up half an hour before arriving at school, ten minutes to wash and eat, and twenty minutes to go to school, but now it has become a time to get up on time, Wang Chuhan's parents saw that their child was woken up because of the rooster's crowing, so they didn't say anything, looked at each other and smiled and continued to get busy;

In the morning, the steamed buns were finally prepared Note that there are all kinds of steamed buns, and in the afternoon, Wang Xiaoyuan took his sister to play with the children in the village;

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family gathered around to eat melon seeds while watching TV, the TV was undoubtedly playing the Spring Festival Gala, at twelve o'clock in the night, as the New Year's bell rang, New Year's fireworks were set off outside, Wang Chuhan put on her coat and ran out, seeing the colorful fireworks flashing in the sky, she stood in the yard and shouted:

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year"

After shouting, he laughed, and it was not long before he returned to the house and was ready to go to bed;

The first day of the new year is slightly bright, after getting up is the time to pay New Year's greetings, after dawn, after lighting candles and incense, firecrackers are sounded, commonly known as "sending God". Sending off the gods, the whole family is led by the parents to "pay New Year's greetings" to the ancestral gods one by one. After the worship, the parents sit on the chairs, and the children and grandchildren of the family greet the parents and elders one by one. When greeting the New Year, bow your head and get up. Parents (or elders) must give a red envelope containing a number of coins, commonly known as "New Year's money". In the family, all those who have been married are adults, and they must prepare "New Year's money".

After a short rest for the whole family, when the sun is rising, young people and children go out to pay New Year's greetings elsewhere. When visiting relatives and friends, first kowtow to the hanging idol or shrine and pai san, and then address the elders one by one and kowtow to the New Year. The peers shook each other, bowed to each other, and resigned after a little noise. If you meet acquaintances on the road, you must smile and shout praises: Wishing you prosperity and a happy New Year!

After Wang Chuhan's family got up, they accompanied their grandparents to kowtow to their ancestors, and then kowtow to their grandparents, parents respectively, and finally Wang Xuechen took the children out to pay New Year's greetings. When he returned home, Wang Xuechen said to Wang Chuhan:

"Hanhan, it's over the New Year now, you're a year older, you have to be more sensible in the future, you can't be as reckless as before"

"I know Dad, I'll remember it," Wang Chuhan replied seriously.
