On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yan was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and after hesitating for a while, he still got dressed and got up, after all, it was the first day of the New Year! This lazy bed is really not good, and if you don't get up quickly, it is estimated that many people will come to visit yourself and your grandmother for the New Year, if you are blocked in the house, this will be a lot of fun.

As soon as they got out of the house, He Yuzhu and the others had already gotten up, Xu Damao went back to his parents for the New Year, and now there are only a few people left in his yard.

He Yuzhu saw Jiang Yan come out and began to cook dumplings; After the dumplings were cooked, they put a firecracker in the yard, and then they filled a bowl of dumplings and went back to the house to eat.

After breakfast, the people in the courtyard began to walk around each other to greet the New Year, and the blessings of "Happy New Year" expressed people's simple emotions, of course, feudal dross such as "Wishing you prosperity" can never be said.

The children were overjoyed, receiving the red envelopes distributed by the adults, the red envelopes of this era are just a symbol of festivity, most of them are wrapped in one cent or two cents, and the big ones are only one cent or one dime, despite this, it can also make the children very excited.

Walking the streets to visit the New Year's is indispensable, the old lady is the oldest person in the whole yard, and someone comes to visit the New Year early in the morning?

When the children saw the old lady, they knelt down and kowtowed, and then shouted, "Happy New Year, old lady." I wish the old lady good health and a long life in the new year. Although I don't usually move around, this custom of New Year's greetings is carried out peacefully with respect for each other except for those who have a great enmity of life and death.

At this time, the old lady will also take out the red envelope she prepared with a smile and hand it over, the money is not much, only a dime, which is more or less a heart.

Jiang Yan just went to the house of the three uncles. After turning around, he only sat at the house of the third master for a while, and the rest of the people were people who left after a while. After bowing to a few junior high students in the courtyard, Jiang Yan walked towards his friends' houses with his things.

Duomen's house was the closest to him, and it was only two blocks apart, just by the way, Jiang Yan was the first to go to their house.

When he came to Duoye's residence, he opened the door just when he saw his own house. "Happy New Year, I came to greet you and wish you good health." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he took his gift.

"You're coming, boy, come inside. Let's drink a little bit this year, you kid is always a dragon who doesn't see the end. ”

Duo Ye was also quite happy to see Jiang Yan, and after taking the things, he grabbed Jiang Yan and wanted to drink with him.

At this time, Jiang Yan said directly: "Master, let's go back and talk about it, there are still several houses on my side that I haven't got!" ”

"Okay, you kid go get busy! I'm going to see your old lady too. ”

During today's New Year's greetings, Jiang Yan deliberately chose Zheng Chaoyang's house when it was almost noon, in order to have a meal with him.

After eating and resting at their house, Jiang Yan once again set out on a journey to greet the New Year.

But what Jiang Yan didn't know was that he was giving New Year's greetings to his friends and brothers all over the world, and Na Cheng thought that there were already many people in their family who came to pay New Year's greetings to Jiang Yan and the old lady, Jiang Yan was not there, Jiang Sirui was responsible for entertaining, and the things at home were basically arranged properly.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people worship each other for the New Year, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, they will start to go home to visit relatives, which is the second day of the first lunar month to return to their parents' home. In the past, on the second day of the first lunar month every year, all married daughters had to go back to their parents' homes, and their husbands had to go with them. Therefore, this custom is called "returning to the mother's house" in our country, and it is also called "going to the mother's house", and because the mother's family wants to welcome the son-in-law, this day is also called "aunt's day" and "son-in-law day". This time, the children of the mother's family should bring gifts when they go home, and some of the gifts are given to their parents.

There is usually a large bag of candy or biscuits, which is distributed by the mother to the neighbors, in order to show the joy and excitement of the New Year.

In the past, people believed that the daughter who married out could not return to the door on the first day of the first lunar month, and that returning to the door would make her mother's family poor, and she could only return to her mother's house after the second day of the first month.

There is such a folk proverb in Taiwan: "There is a father and a mother, and there is no father and no mother to bear." It means that daughters with parents, after the second day of the first lunar month, the mother's family will inevitably take them back for reunion, only the daughter who has no father and mother, no relatives miss, and the mother's family will not send someone to pick it up. There is also a proverb that says: "On the second day of the first lunar month, the road is full of Xiaosheng and Xiaodan", which refers to the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the streets are full of men carrying gifts and preparing to return to their parents' homes with their wives.

Although Jiang Sirui said that her parents were gone, Liu Xufeng was the one who raised her, so this Liu Xufeng's family is naturally his maiden home. ”

And Liu Xufeng's house is also quite lively, and Huang Ling is preparing things. However, Liu Xufeng sat there with a stinky face, and the old man's shelf was very good.

He Yuzhu naturally took his daughter-in-law and children back to his parents' house, but now Qin Huairu's younger brother has divided the house in the city, and he will celebrate the New Year in the city this year. So He Yuzhu didn't need to take her back to Qinjia Village.

However, the lunch was not solved at his mother's house, and he hurried back home after putting down the gifts, and the reason why he was in such a hurry to return home was because He Yuzhu's apprentice Ma Hua was going to come to the house to pay New Year's greetings.

Although Ma Hua has been following He Yuzhu for almost two years, this apprentice has given his master a New Year's greeting this year, so He Yuzhu takes it more seriously.

The average chef generally does chores for three years and then cuts for three years, and the master is happy to teach him cooking.

However, Jiang Yan understands the person of Ma Hua, and respects He Yuzhu from the bottom of his heart, so Jiang Yan told He Yuzhu to let him teach Ma Hua skills.

According to Jiang Yan's words, stupid brains can learn slowly, and that loyalty can't be learned.

After Jiang Yan's persuasion, after briefly observing MCA for a while, He Yuzhu felt that what his boss said was right, this kid was a little stupid, but he was single-minded to himself, so he passed on a few skills to him, but those things that He Yuzhu was good at were still not taught.

Chinese people are like this, and the master will always leave a hand when he teaches his apprentices, and He Yuzhu is no exception. The ingredients of the specialty dishes have basically not been taught, and it is estimated that MCA wants to fully learn what is available in his hands!

Fortunately, this kid has a big heart, and he doesn't think about it so much, he is still what the master He Yuzhu says, and he always does his best to complete it.

However, He Yuzhu also has the ability, although those secret recipes and other things have not been taught, and almost all the others have been taught to MCA, so that now the big pot of dishes in the house He Yuzhu has not stretched out his hand for almost a few days, and almost all of them are made by MCA, He Yuzhu just took a look. Although the taste is a little worse than He Yuzhu's, as long as the dishes are heavy with oil and salt, they are delicious, and others can't say anything.
