Chapter 334: Gossip about the New Year

Yun Yingying and Qi Zhaodi took a cannon and ran away quickly after sticking it into the snow and lighting it with fire.

Cover your ears from a distance, watch the cannon holes lead, and wait for the firecrackers to make a "bar" sound.

At this time, several of them saw that Han Li was back, and Yun Yingying ran over and stuffed some lamb whips into his hands.

"Brother Li, you came back just in time, let's have a cannon fight together."

Han Li took it and ordered two, but he was holding the tail of the cannon with his hand and sounding it in his hand, at this time Yun Jingjing asked.

"We also bought two bundles of two kicks, why don't we take out a few of them?"

At this time, most of the two kicks were a bundle of twenty, and the ones they bought back were only the thickness of an ordinary person's index finger.

At this time, the two kicks are very conscientious in terms of workmanship and materials, which makes it very safe, and there are few squibs in later generations, a sound, and a situation that cannot be raised.

Han Li had seen someone grab five two kicks in one hand, line them up from top to bottom in their hands, light the top one, use the tail flame generated during liftoff to ignite the next one, and so on until all five kicked into the air.

Of course, little doesn't mean no, because he's also heard of which and who's blowing up his fingers when he puts the second kick.

After Yun Jingjing finished speaking, several people had eager expressions on their faces, and Han Li smiled and shook his head to deny their proposal, and told Zhang Qianying's family about the situation.

At this time, it is nothing to set off a small cannon at home, because many children on the street will light two rings from time to time, and their family will light a few and not be conspicuous.

But the whole village can hear the second kick, this is not yet the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family Zhang Qianying has just had such an unlucky thing, they do this It is easy to give people a sense of schadenfreude.

Moreover, as long as everyone who goes to the scene today knows that this group of people came today because of the last incident, and they are fine, but Zhang Qianying was sent to the county hospital.

After Han Li finished speaking, everyone's faces were a little embarrassed, such a thing had happened when they were steaming steamed buns at home.

"But tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and we can release it however we want at that time."

Now there are all kinds of food on the door of the house, and now the weather of more than 30 degrees below zero will soon freeze them.

The cage drawer in the outhouse is steamed bean buns, and there are some steamed buns, sugar triangles, small hedgehogs, small snakes, small jujube flowers, etc. on the kang in the inner room.

When all of them are steamed out and frozen, He Mi and the others will take some of them over there, and the big head will be left for the five of them to eat together.

Han Li and the others didn't let go of the cannon anymore, each of them sat in the room with a teacup in their hands, watching the steam constantly coming out of the cage drawer and chatting.

The topic of conversation most now is, of course, the atmosphere of the previous New Year, and there is nothing to talk about if it was not good in the past few years, so everyone's topic is when they are in their teens.

To be honest, it wasn't easy at that time, maybe there weren't so many worries in childhood to be nostalgic, just like the children in Shanghe Village now, knowing that they only have a pair of cotton shoes, but they didn't hesitate to play in the snow, play with the plow, and play slippery.

While talking about this, Han Li suddenly thought of what he had heard when he chatted with the village chief, so he coughed lightly and said in a steady tone.

"Today and tomorrow, everyone will tidy up the things in the front and back yards, and it is best to put away everything that is not easy for people to see."

Han Li's words immediately stunned everyone, thinking that something was the matter Yun Yingying hurriedly asked.

"Brother Li, is there something going on?"

"No, this is what the village chief told me, this Gada starts to twist Yangge from the beginning of the New Year, until the end of the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Yangge team will enter the hospital to pay New Year's greetings."

"Twisting Yangge, there used to be five stilt Yangge in Sijiu City, and we watched it a few times when we were children, so it doesn't seem to be anything, right?"

Seeing that Yun Yingying was a little unimpressed, Han Li smiled and patiently explained.

"Let's just talk about it, you know? The big Yangge in this Gadda is not twisted casually, it contains the meaning of blessing and exorcism, and it can only be twisted from the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year every year.

On the day of the sixteenth family of the first month to send the lamp, the people of the Yangge team will burn all the flowers and headdresses on their bodies, and sing a few words when they burn it, "The drum board will stop and sing the sound of the work, and the three old and four young people will hear it clearly, this year's Yangge is over, bless our fathers and villagers to live in peace." ’

Although there are some things that cannot be said in the past few years, everyone knows about twisting Yangge, but it has been changed in a more appropriate way, you can not believe it, but you must respect the customs and traditions here.

"Han Li, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with us cleaning up the yard?"

"It has a relationship, there are other particularities here, this is divided into two factions of men and women, the male leader is called 'colorful stick', and the female leader is called 'Sha Gongzi', [some places are called silly boys, some places are called pullers, and some places are called heads].

This man and woman are the commanders of the Yangge team's formation and patterns, and whether the Yangge of a Yangge team is twisted well or not is the key, and they go door-to-door to greet the New Year under the leadership of the team leader (running the film, the head).

Tomorrow morning, I heard the sound of drums and suona, that is, they came, followed by all the people who watched the excitement.

In the past, those team leaders would shout in public, 'The owner has rewarded money, and the drummer will work hard', and the Yangge team will turn around the yard twice, and the front yard, the back yard, and the horns will be twisted.

Now you can't talk about rewards, but the team leader will say, 'Beat the drums', and you think that when the yard is full of people, why don't you clean it up and let it all be seen? ”

Han Li's original intention was to let them cover up something, but when these people heard that there was a bustle to see, their eyes revealed that they wanted to see the bustle, so they had no choice but to continue.

"If you want to see the excitement, let's follow and see, if you are lucky this year, if you catch up with the Yangge meeting held in the county, the scene will be more lively at that time, and you will see it then."

"Brother Li, what's going on with this Yangge?"

"The Yangge Club is a Yangge twisting competition, which is the level of the Yangge team in which village, and each team will select a leader to sing the New Year's tune (Yangge Liuzi), and others will sing along, I heard that the scene is always lively."

"Brother Li, what is this New Year's greeting tune?"

"This. It should be to sing some auspicious words, for the New Year, everyone must be auspicious, we also have it in Sijiu City, but the name is different. ”

After Han Li finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and began to drink tea, and the few of them were already discussing how to watch the excitement when the time came.

.

The bean buns in the pot are cooked and changed to flower rolls, and everyone is talking and laughing and laughing today.

As soon as I closed my eyes and opened them, I came to the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone got up relatively early today.

They simply ate a little bit for breakfast, and then they began to get busy.

Han Li took out the couplet and sent it to Zhang Xiangjun himself, and Hao Hongmin and Hou Yuhua asked them to send it.

After coming back, the matter of sticking pairs and hanging lanterns belonged to Han Liguan, and the four of them made noodles and chopped stuffing in the house to prepare dumplings.

As soon as the red Spring Festival couplets and lanterns were hung on the street door, I immediately felt that the atmosphere was different.

The contrast between the white snow and the red couplets and lanterns is the atmosphere of the festival.

After Han Li finished pasting his home, he also got the He Mi family in order, and at this time, he was basically idle.

After the fillings of the dumplings in the house were adjusted, He Mi and Yun Yingying were responsible for rolling the dumpling skins.

A piece of noodles swirled under their hands for a while, and a thin side and a round dumpling wrapper in the middle came out.

The folds of such a dumpling skin are very thin, and if the person who makes the dumplings is willing to put the filling, it is really thin and very delicious.

Yun Jingjing and Qi Zhaodi are in charge of the package, and their speed is not slow.

Han Li drank water and read a book next to him, and when the dumplings on the lid were full, he became the porter of the dumplings, picked them up and put them in the courtyard.

At this time, the temperature outside was more than minus 30 degrees, and the dumplings were quickly frozen outside, which was much easier to use than those refrigerators.

According to the custom here, every household has to wrap a lot of dumplings today.

No matter what kind of filling the dumplings are and how many mixed noodles are added to the dumpling skin, the number of dumplings is generally calculated with a sack, and these dumplings will always be eaten until the New Year.

According to them, when the Chinese New Year is over, you should rest happily and not worry about cooking.

Whoever is hungry can get some frozen dumplings and eat them by boiling them over the fire, which is convenient.

Anyway, there is a natural cold storage here, and the dumplings will not be bad after they are frozen.

It is said that there is a very special project somewhere in the Northeast, that is, "stealing dumplings", the dumplings frozen outside the house will be some missing, at this time if someone says that there are fewer dumplings at home, the head of the family will say with a smile.

"Let the wolves take it away, and let the dogs steal it."

Then everyone will laugh tacitly, but it won't be long before the thief who "steals" the dumplings will come to the door.

Smiled and said that your dumplings are really fragrant, my kid ate a big bowl in one go, whose dumplings are not good, salty, whose dumplings add too many grains, the dumplings are scattered as soon as they are cooked, and the dumplings of whom's have no salt at all, and they also need to be dipped in soy sauce when eating.

After the person who "steals dumplings" steals and eats dumplings, he is also responsible for evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each dumpling.

The person who stole the dumplings will not complain about the person who stole the dumplings, but will be happy.

The more dumplings are stolen, the more it shows that the family's popularity in the village is better.

However, most of the popularity and dumpling stealers are two-way, so there is no loss of money.

And those who can steal dumplings at your house have a good relationship, and they are all open-minded and joke-friendly people, and they want to have fun during the New Year.

On the other hand, those people in the village who are not popular and like to be in a hurry and have a white face, no one will steal their dumplings, because they can't afford to make such jokes.

The habit here in Shanghe Village is to eat dumplings in the evening, and when you have the conditions to eat dumplings, you will put a table of good wine and good dishes, and wait for the arrival of the New Year while drinking and chatting.

Yun Jingjing and He Mi were discussing what to cook when they were making dumplings, first of all, there must be fish, which means that there is more than enough every year.

Secondly, this chicken must also have, as the saying goes, no chicken is not a feast, no wine is not a feast, and the homonym of the chicken is auspicious, a symbol of auspiciousness, good luck.

Han Li didn't participate in cooking, and the skills of the two of them were very good, so he didn't have to worry about whether it was delicious, he just sat on the sidelines and listened, but.
