After the first thing on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the family rode two bicycles, and there were two Laizhou red dogs pulling sleds in front of them, and returned to the courtyard in a mighty way.

"My sister-in-law has bought so many New Year's goods, and the coming year will definitely be more prosperous."

Lao Li Tou came out of the house and happened to meet Mrs. Zhang, who was moving a large bag to her home.

At this time, it must be auspicious to say it, and it is happy to hear it.

"Didn't you go out? There are a lot of fresh vegetables in the vegetable market, and you may not be able to catch them when you go late, so they are all lined up. ”

"My son and daughter-in-law came, and said that the unit would purchase collectively and eat together when the time came, and I, an old man, couldn't eat much."

"You're going to enjoy the blessings, here for the New Year, or follow your son to the building?"

"Go to my son's side, and come back in the third and fourth years of junior high school."

After chatting a few words, Wei Ping'an came out of it again.

"Uncle Li, where are you going?"

"Go around the alley, when did you come back?"

"Just came back last night."

"Come back this time, why don't you leave after the New Year."

"Well, I'll go back after the New Year."

It may be that the matter of Lao Li Tou's son and daughter-in-law made Lao Li Tou have a sense of confidentiality, and he didn't ask Wei Ping'an what he was doing at all, and they separated at the gate of the courtyard after chatting a few words.

Zhou Zimo ran out with the sack again, and Wei Ping'an helped unload the vegetables into the sack from the sleigh.

The green leeks, although the leaves are a little thin, but they are pure natural and pollution-free, and they are used to make dumplings in winter, which is more mouth-watering than the cabbage filling.

When the vegetables are moved into the yard, they go directly into the cellar.

The wet cellar is not afraid of vegetables being frozen, and it can be stored for a long time.

It is a necessary condition for the people of Beijing to spend the winter in this era.

Wei Ping'an ran out for the last time to carry the sled into the courtyard, and saw Yan Bugui pushing a bicycle and chatting with Mrs. Zhang, and two small bags were also placed on the back seat.

The two mouths are tied, and they hang left and right on the back shelf.

Seeing Wei Ping'an coming out of the room, he greeted him with a smile and said a few words of praise to Wei Dabao.

Wei Ping'an also responded with a smile.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and besides, it's not the end of the year.

"Teacher Yan just gave Dabao a piece of candy."

Entering his yard, Zhou Zimo whispered to Wei Ping'an.

Quietly, as if someone else would hear it.

From the moment Zhou Zimo came to this courtyard, he knew that his brother-in-law had a discordant relationship with other residents.

Later, I had a better relationship with Uncle Li and Uncle Xu Damao in the backyard, and Aunt Lou, Uncle Xu's daughter-in-law, used to come to the house to chat with my sister.

That is, after the brother-in-law came back, there were fewer comes.

The other residents have conflicts with their own families.

At the beginning, I thought that I would collectively sign to drive my brother-in-law out of the courtyard, but although I didn't achieve my goal, the relationship became bad.

Later, my brother-in-law went out for several years, and in addition to himself, he was my grandmother and sister, and the relationship with my neighbors eased a lot.

But Zhou Zimo knew that it was a superficial relaxation, and his sister was even more stingy than his brother-in-law to help the people in the hospital.

Maybe it's called the husband singing the wife.

It's just that it's okay to get by.

You can also say hello when you come in and out every day.

I went to school and became the students of the three masters, and the three masters' families talked more with their own families.

It wasn't until the brother-in-law came back that the neighbors who used to say hello had a little stranger relationship.

There is a laughing teacher Yan's family, talking to his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Zhou Zimo looks a lot more cautious.

Therefore, Zhou Zimo secretly told his brother-in-law that Mr. Yan gave Dabao a piece of candy.

Wei Ping'an was a little surprised.

Yan Laoxi, who was so picky, actually took the initiative to give Wei Dabao a candy ......

Did the sun come out in the west? What kind of fuss is this?

Strictly speaking, Yan Bugui didn't have anything except for the two times when he was "dizzy" because of the house, and even those two times did not actually affect Wei Ping'an.

Instead, he was taken advantage of by Wei Ping'an.

"Dabao, is the sugar delicious?"

"It's delicious, Dad, you can eat it too......"

Dabao spit out the sugar from his mouth and was about to hand it to Wei Ping'an.

"Thank you, son, Dad doesn't eat it, Dabao eats it himself......"

Wei Dabao shoeed the Cuban candy in his palm and slipped it into his mouth.

Alas...... It's not dry, it's not clean, and it's not sick after eating.

Wei Ping'an sighed and comforted himself.

The old lady came out of the cellar, and she wanted to see with her own eyes the neatly arranged vegetables she had bought.

She has to have a number of what she cooks and how much she eats every day.

After all, for a whole year, if you want to celebrate the Lantern Festival, you can't help but plan ahead.

There were a lot of other New Year's goods piled up in the yard, and the old lady began to pick them up non-stop.

New Year's paintings, incense candles, and burning paper are put into a bag, and these are put in the front yard house first.

There are no people living there for the New Year, so it's just right to put these things.

Firecrackers were also bought in a small half-bag, and the old lady carried them to the small building.

Chinese New Year's Eve should set off firecrackers, because it is a New Year Beast. Firecrackers should also be set off before eating dumplings on the first day of the new year......

It's all custom, it's exquisite.

From the Spring Festival, we can see that the ancients were full of life rituals.

Participating in it will make people unconsciously feel grand and feel the heavy national cultural atmosphere.

"Zimo, go and see if the water in Sister Ling's house is boiling?"

"Hey, got it."

Zhou Zimo ran into the house.

The yard is ready to go and continue today's second project: twenty-seven, killing New Year's chickens.

Zhou Wen boiled hot water in the house, which was used to pluck the feathers of the chickens.

Yesterday I proposed to buy two chickens, one stewed in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and set it on the table.

This is particular, only one person can eat a few chopsticks, and this dish must be kept on the table on the first and second days of the new year.

The third year of junior high school can really finish eating.

The second one is served on the Lantern Festival.

In the past, it was also arranged like this, but Wei Dabao would make a fuss because he couldn't eat enough stewed chicken nuggets.

What a punishment it is for a small child to see that he can't eat.

In these days every year, the eldest child Zhou Zimo will also be greedy.

Wei Ping'an was not short of food, so he simply decided to increase the number and bought three.

One is stewed today, but it's hard to eat.

After the relief, the second stew in Chinese New Year's Eve was not so painful when it was placed on the table.

"Lao Wei, are you killing chickens at home, or do you accompany Dabao to get a haircut first?"

"I'll take the child to get a haircut, and Zimo will go with me."

Zhou Wen has long hair, and the demand is not so great.

This is the separate task of the three family masters.

Twenty-seven, cut finely.

There are a number of places to cut your hair.

There are specialized barber shops, and there are also mobile hair cutting stalls.

Now there are so many hairstyles back and forth, nothing to pay attention to.

Wei Ping'an is more inclined to the haircutting master of the mobile stall.

First, the master has exquisite craftsmanship, and this craftsmanship is not about cutting out hairstyles that look good and neat, that is a must.

The reason why the master is good is because of the comfort level in the hair cutting process.

The craft of a master who can cut hair requires not only effort in his hands, but also work his mouth.

The customer sat down on the stool, and the master started to prune with his hands, and the words had to follow.

The attention was distracted, the conversation was excited, and before I knew it, it was cut, and it was not tormented at all.

Where to cut first, where to cut again, when to clean the hair slag, when to change the posture, all of this is particular.

Second, the factory has been restored, and the overpass must be lively.

Wei Ping'an sat Wei Dabao in front of him, and Zhou Zimo in the back, and went straight to the overpass when he got out of the courtyard.

It was almost noon, but no one was worried about lunch.

Coming to the overpass, Zhou Zimo and Wei Dabao were excited.

The four-foot-long sugar gourd couldn't be held with one hand, so Zhou Zimo had to hold it with both hands, tilting his head and biting the hawthorn wrapped in syrup.

Wei Ping'an also came to one, sweet and sour, delicious.

bought a windmill for Dabao, Dabao was held by Wei Ping'an, sat on his father's arm, leaned on Wei Ping'an's shoulder, and turned the windmill in his hand. Dabao was also uneasy, shouting in his mouth, and kicking his legs in a hurry.

It is estimated that it is the sequelae of playing too much sledding, such as asking Dad to go faster, windmills need wind to turn around.

After walking a few steps, I was attracted by the gadgets in the hands of the half-grown children who came over again.

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm going to ...... too"

The New Year is festive, buy whatever you want.

Wei Ping'an almost lined up and shouted: My father is rich.

So, Dabao put on a rattle in his hand again, and he shook it vigorously.

The 1963 factory in Beijing has left a stunning imprint on the history of the entire 60s.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Changdian was originally a great pleasure for the people of the old capital, but because of the three years of tight clothing and food, the shortage of materials, the whole country tightened their belts, and naturally did not advocate extravagance and waste.

The big guy has been holding back for many years, and this year it has finally recovered, so how can it be possible not to hurry over and join in the fun.

According to later statistics, there were 756 stalls this year, and the number of tourists exceeded 4 million, and the number of people in the factory this year was equivalent to three-fifths of the entire capital.

When they got here, they didn't bother to go straight to get a haircut, but went shopping first.

It's almost noon, so let's eat a full meal first.

Aiwowo, donkey rolling, pea yellow...... There are also rice cakes, enemas and noodle tea......

Shopping all the way, buying all the way, eating all the way, Zhou Zimo felt that following his brother-in-law out for a walk was the real New Year.

It's just amazing.

If you learn the words after decades, Zhou Zimo will shout: Cool!

Eating all kinds of snacks in my hand, all kinds of delicious food in my mouth, swallowing happily into my stomach, and then looking at the wonderful juggling left and right, as well as the objects on various stalls......

It's a dizzying feeling.

The colorful kite, so that Dabao has to pull it when he sees it.

Dad Wei waved his hand: I bought it.

After two days, find an open space to fly a kite and play.

The small face man and the face of the monkey are all Dabao's favorites.

As for which is the real favorite, Wei Ping'an guessed that the last one, probably explained that it will always be the next one.

Zhou Zimo likes knives and guns made of bamboo and wood, and when he saw young men of the same age playing, he secretly showed a look of envy.

Wei Ping'an will naturally not be stingy, and the wooden sticks with gold paper at both ends are called golden hoop sticks, buy them.

A piece of wood was poked on the stick, tied with silk thread, called the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and bought.

Zhou Zimo was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, Wei Ping'an was carrying a golden hoop stick, and there was a Wei Dabao shaking a rattle on his shoulder.

It's not a strange combination at all, as there are so many similar family groups that wander around here.

Tired of shopping, Wei Ping'an found a stall and sat down in front of him, the stall owner was a young man with a rabbit skin hat, and he didn't rush people with a smile, Wei Ping'an handed him a cigarette, he clamped his ear, and started to work again.

It was a rag doll's stall, with a carriage running across the back, with a tall brown horse tied to the back, and a large pile of toys on the carriage, on which an old lady sat on, and the people around asked for whichever one she wanted, and she turned it out for the young man to pass it over.

Dabao dragged the cloth tiger and didn't let go, the extra-large one had to be half the size of Dabao's body.

Zhou Zimo was not very interested in the rag doll, sitting on a stone, and straining against the sugar gourd that was left in his hand.

When he was halfway through, his stomach was round, but it was rare to eat such delicious food, and Zhou Zimo was reluctant to talk about it.

Wei Ping'an fell in love with a Chinese knot, which was very big.

Together with the cloth tiger in Wei Dabao's arms, they were bought.

"Zimo, go further, let's go to the place just now to cut our hair."

After shopping for two or three hours, Wei Ping'an, who was holding Dabao, didn't feel anything, but Zhou Zimo couldn't walk because of the pain in his heels.

"Okay, brother-in-law."

"Dad, I'll be back tomorrow ......"

"Come back in two days and bring your mother and grandma with you, okay?"

Next to him, Zhou Zimo's eyes were also shining.

He has never experienced this kind of occasion, and he is reluctant to end it so soon.

Where the hair is cut, there is a master, the silver shaved head is walking, there are many waiting in line, obedient meaning are familiar customers, repeat customers.

After waiting for five or six people, it happened to be their turn for Zhou Zimo to destroy the sugar gourd.

"Master, bother to shave a little shorter."

Twenty-seven shaved finely, which is also exquisite.

If you don't shave your head in the first month, you will shave your uncle to death.

In fact, this is all a fallacy.

This saying was handed down from the Qing Dynasty, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was required to shave the head and keep braids, and the slogan passed at that time was "keep the head without hair, leave the hair without the head"......

Later, whenever the head was shaved, it would remind the Han people of the old things of the previous dynasty, that is, "thinking about the old", and then somehow evolved into "dead uncle", which is really absurd and weird.

But in any case, there is such a taboo, Wei Dabao shaved his head directly.

The province shaved her head again before the New Year, which made the old lady uncomfortable.

Zhou Zimo was entrusted by the old lady to the existence of Zhou's hope, and he is Dabao's uncle.

Before going out, Zhou Wen specially pulled Wei Ping'an and told him.

Shaving your head saves trouble, and children don't understand it anyway.

After shaving their heads, they rode home with large bags and small bags.

Now they are not in a hurry.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a bathtub at home to take a bath, they would have to hurry up and pinch it today.

For twenty-seven, wash malaria;

Twenty-seven, go to the old mud ......

Taking a shower and doing laundry are also things that need to be done today.

When tomorrow begins on the 28th day of the lunar month, you will not be able to wash your clothes, and you will need to wait until after the Chinese New Year's Eve before you can wash your clothes.

It's also exquisite.

There is an old lady at home, and there are a lot more rules for the New Year, but Wei Ping'an didn't have such things when he was alone.

But the more things there are, the more the sense of ritual is heavy, and the more the atmosphere of the New Year.

When they got home, Zhou Wen and the old lady had already washed and dried their clothes.

Having a washing machine at home is much faster than washing it by hand.

When I entered the door just now, I saw Yu Li in the front yard squatting in front of the big basin and misdressing.

Entering the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was also washing the sheets, and there seemed to be men's clothes in the basin.

The door of the main house was open, half a cotton curtain was set aside, and He Yuzhu was humming a little song and stir-frying on the coal stove.

The fragrance is tangy, and there is a lot of oil and water to smell.

Seeing Wei Ping'an come in with the child, Xiaoqu'er stopped for a while, and after Wei Ping'an passed, he hummed again.

Do you have a ticket? Have an encouraging message? ……

The fat man wants to summon the power codeword......
