The white is like jade, the pink is like xia, the red is like a flag, the purple is noble, the water surface is sparkling, and the warmth is like blue.

Patches of emerald green lotus leaves, swaying in the wind, floating slightly.

The leaves of the water lily are even more lovely, spreading evenly and neatly on the surface of the water......

Lu Xingyu held his breath and savored the original innocence unique to this small Huineng mountain village.

Xiao Huineng and his parents sat on the edge of the pool, holding hands, and a water lily was watching them and laughing.

The water lilies are as white as jade, as blue as snow, and as white as snow, and there are no impurities at all. Xiao Huineng also smiled in return, quietly interpreting her thoughts......

Xiao Huineng's mother was born in the countryside of Jiulang Village, Xinzhou, Lingnan, and when she was young and unmarried, she suffered a lot, followed her grandfather to study medicine, and collected Chinese herbs all over the mountain. Grandfather Li Xianghe has excellent medical skills, has practiced medicine for more than 30 years, and has cured countless cases.

Lu Xingyao, Li's family, and Xiao Huineng, whenever there is a moonlit night, will sit in the pavilion of the lotus pond flower base to enjoy the shade, Xiao Huineng always snuggled up to his father and mother, and listened to his father's story, saying that he was an official in the north and asked for his life for the people. Xiaohui can see that Daddy is very engaged every time he speaks......

……

The sun and the moon are reincarnated, and the annual Spring Festival is approaching again.

On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Xingyu said to Xiao Huineng: "Neng'er, you can accompany your mother to weave cloth at home, and Daddy will go to Chengcheng Market to handle some New Year's goods and come back for the New Year." ”

Love to be lively and playful, it is the nature of Xiao Huineng's children, Xiao Huineng heard that Daddy went to take advantage of the ruins, took Lu Xingyao's hand, and shouted: "I want to go to the ruins with Daddy." ”

Lu Xingyao had no choice but to nod and agree.

Xiao Hui can see that Daddy agreed, and jumped up and said, "I'll go to the ruins with Daddy!" ”

At that time, in Xiao Huineng's eyes, his father, who was as tall as a mountain, was leading the way in front of him. Just arrived at his waist, Xiao Hui can be a little Hui Neng behind his father.

They went to the integrated market with the largest variety of New Year's goods at that time, and it was also the most lively.

The integrated market runs through several streets, and there are hundreds of stalls standing and squatting there, all of which are small Huineng sellers from the countryside who sell New Year's goods, and they sell nothing more than all kinds of meat, poultry, eggs, and all kinds of cereals and local specialties, which are classified into categories. Adding to the festive atmosphere of the New Year are the chickens, ducks, geese tied to the fine hemp rope, and the various fish jumping up and down in the large basin.

Xiao Huineng's father took him through the vendors, from street to street and back again.

The family is not rich, and it is necessary to be cautious in spending money, and Lu Xingyu always has to find the cheapest and most suitable New Year's goods in the balance of price and quality.

Every time Xiao Hui can see his father buy one, he opens the sack or noodle pocket he carries with him and puts it in.

Xiaohui could see that his father was buying golden needles, shiitake mushrooms, vermicelli, yuba, etc., so he pointed to the peasant vegetables such as yellow sprouts, snow peas, green onions, and garlic on the stall, and asked, "Daddy, don't you buy these dishes?" ”

Lu Xingyan touched Xiao Huineng's head and said with a smile: "These vegetables are grown in your own vegetable field, so you don't need to buy them." However, Xiaohui can buy or not buy any New Year's goods during the New Year, but the flour for dumplings must be bought. ”

Xiao Hui was puzzled and asked, "Daddy, is flour so important?" ”

Lu Xingyao looked at the north from afar and said with emotion: "The custom of celebrating the New Year in the northern hometown, there must be dumplings to eat in the Chinese New Year's Eve to have the taste of the New Year." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Huineng looked at his father and immediately understood. It's no wonder that in the past few days, he has seen his father standing alone on the side of the gate, looking at the north...... It turned out that Daddy had melted his deep love for his hometown into that hometown.

After buying flour, on the way home, Lu Xingyu told Xiao Huineng about the scene of the New Year in his hometown-

The New Year's flavor in Fanyang, Hebei Province comes early, and there are habits of eating frozen dumplings during the New Year.

Since the day of the Little Huineng Year, every household has begun to make dumplings, no problem with how much to wrap, and there is a natural large refrigerator outside, which can be put down as much as you want.

There are also people who finish wrapping it on the halberd stack to freeze, the naughty children climb up the halberd stack left and right to compare whose dumplings are good-looking, the exquisite dumplings are good-looking, not to mention, but also placed in a circle like flowers, very good-looking.

The dumplings covered with a curtain were frozen in less than ten minutes. After the frozen dumplings are taken to the home warehouse and put in the jar, the general family has a small jar of frozen dumplings during the Spring Festival, when you are too lazy to cook, take a plate of frozen dumplings and cook it in the pot, which is delicious and trouble-free.

There are also frozen fruits, generally Fanyang people put two or several jars at home, put dumplings, and put frozen fruits. Frozen fruits are mainly frozen pears, but there are also frozen apples and frozen begonia fruits.

And then there's the ice bricks.

Speaking of ice bricks, Lu Xingyao felt that his stomach was aching.

He said to Xiao Huineng: "It was caused by stealing ice bricks when he was Xiao Huineng." Every year before the Chinese New Year, my mother will buy one or two boxes of ice bricks and put them in the mouth jar, and tell them not to eat them first, it is for the New Year. However, he couldn't help it, he ate one a day, and by the time his mother went to get the ice bricks for the New Year, there was not much left.

People born in Fanyang, Hebei Province, can see flowers in spring, summer and autumn, and the winter in the north is too long, so they think of a way to romanticize it on the whole, use red candles to melt it, pinch out the flowers while they are hot, and then stick them to the branches, such flowers are more durable. There are also blistered flowers, and in winter, some people start to stand on the street and shout and sell blistered flowers. I bought two folded paper flowers and went home, put them in a bottle of water, just a piece of paper, and when I saw the water, it bloomed.

It is not only these flowers that decorate the house, but also many women and women who make female red, and every household has a curtain when they enter the door, as well as a quilt curtain, a tablecloth on the table, and a sofa backrest, and there are all kinds of embroidery and crochet ornaments in almost all the places that can be covered.

The people of Fanyang, Hebei Province are very particular about the covered cloth, and they are also very good at it, and they have to use good-looking cloth curtains to cover the poor and ugly, which is also one of the characteristics of the northerners who love face.

New clothes for the New Year are prepared before the year, and new clothes for children are a must. Wrap the new clothes and put them on the quilt on the top of the kang, which is both eye-catching and soul-hooking. People who are looking forward to wearing new clothes as soon as possible are looking forward to the arrival of the New Year soon.

Hebei Fanyang people also love to paste couplets, the door, the second door, all the doors must be pasted couplets, and some people even have to paste couplets in the bedroom. So, there are a lot of northern couplets.

When our Fanyang family in Hebei Province celebrated the New Year, they often wrote couplets by themselves, and the mother first used white flour and paste, and then, Daddy tore open the red paper to write couplets, and wrote a pair of Daddy and quickly took it to paste. The speed of pasting the couplet should be fast, otherwise the paste will freeze, and after pasting, you must warm the couplet by hand, or it will fall off after sticking.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the children of Fanyang, Hebei Province put on new clothes early in the morning.

My mother always said that you should wear new clothes in the afternoon, otherwise you will get dirty before the New Year.

The snow in the land of Fanyang, Hebei Province is almost always new, and there are happy children in new clothes on the snow, the sound of squeaking and running, the laughter of children, and the sound of firecrackers or two.

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family is very particular about this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, chicken and fish are a must, and our family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also has a wild animal's hand meat. Generally, on the evening of thirty nights, the children patiently abide by the rules of the family after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and after eating, they run out happily, and run outside all night, not feeling cold at all. Therefore, in the year of the Fanyang people, the thirty nights are the least cold nights in the northern winter.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, families generally eat frozen dumplings, and the meal must be eaten early, otherwise they will be blocked in the quilt by the New Year's greetings, which is very embarrassing.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is also a big day of the Spring Festival, and the fifth day of the Lunar New Year also has to eat dumplings and set off firecrackers. On the seventh day of the new year, you have to eat noodles. On the tenth day of the first year, some people eat dumplings, and some people pay attention to eating cakes. On the fifteenth day, every family was treated the same as the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, lighting lanterns and setting off cannons. Only the diet is somewhat different from Chinese New Year's Eve, eating bean buns, especially sticky bean buns, or eating Lantern Festival.

The night of the fifteenth year of Fanyang is very lively, the ice sculptures and ice lanterns are generally lit on the fifteenth, plus a round of bright moon in the sky, reflecting the snowy earth, the night of the fifteenth day of Fanyang, Hebei, such as the city that never sleeps, bright and bright.

The year of Fanyang, Hebei Province is indeed long, almost this first month, it is the feeling of the year, and some customs Lu Xingyu also can't remember a little, I remember that the seventeenth and twenty-seventh of the first month are all to eat noodles. It was only on the day of February when the second dragon raised its head, and the adults were busy reminding the children that the New Year was over.

On the way home, Lu Xingyu told Xiao Huineng endlessly about the scene of the New Year in his hometown of Fanyang, Hebei, and unconsciously returned to the edge of the village.
