Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info later than the tenth day of the first month belongs to the old age, this time the festive atmosphere of the new year has faded, the early years and the old years are to avoid regret of the emergency or remedial nature, there is a proverb: "There is a heart to pay homage to the fifteenth day is not too late." ”

Hong Fu didn't want to have any old age, so he had dinner with his family on the first day of junior high school, and after greeting his uncle and second uncle in the morning, he went to Xue Anqi's house to pay New Year's greetings, saw Old Man Xue and Xue Anqi's parents, as well as some relatives, and had a meal at noon.

In the afternoon, I went to Beibei's house, and I went to the old man's family, played chess with the old man for an afternoon, met other relatives, and returned home after dinner.

The next morning, he ran back to Fudu, and spent the whole day at Ling's house. Ling Yun was satisfied, but Hong Fu saw Ling Tian's girlfriend, who was good-looking, very supple, and seemed to be a teacher.

It started in the third year of junior high school, went to Hu Ling's house and played chess with the old man who loved to regret chess for a while, and went directly to Bai Shengnan's house in the afternoon, and the Baishan couple were even more happy, although the Liu family had a lot to do with this son-in-law, but they were not good for the Liu family, so they were very satisfied with Hong Fu.

After dinner, chatting with the family, he stayed here that night, and it was a night of romance, but Bai Shengnan let Hong Fu shoot directly in it, and it was true, it was not refined before, and Hong Fu did not object, his mother had already said hello to her woman these days, if Ling Zixuan hadn't been studying last night, maybe there would have been one.

In the fourth year of the first year, Hong Fu went directly to Miao Jiang, the last time he came here to coerce all living beings, so that the whole Miao Jiang was in a panic, this time Hong Fu just came with the guards, but those unforgettable clothes still frightened everyone in Miao Village, but remembering that this is the husband of the saint, I am still not too afraid, but they are all hiding far away, and the pressure I gave last time was too great.

Sister Yi Yi had been waiting there for a long time, and pulled Hong Fu into the small bamboo building, and when she entered the door, she saw Mother Wu fiddling with the New Year's goods, "The young master is here." ”

"Mom, call me Xiaofu. Hong Fu touched his head and said, for Wu's mother Hongfu, who has taken care of him since he was a child, is not an outsider, this is unusually smooth.

"Good, good. Come to Xiaofu. Drink some tea. Hong Fu respectfully took the tea.

Knowing that Hong Fu is coming today, Xiaozhulou looks very festive, with big red letters and couplets, all of which make him feel warm.

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival celebrated by the Han and other ethnic minorities. In the Miao nationality in the southeast of Guizhou, the Spring Festival is called the "Han Year" and the traditional "Miao Year" coexists, and other ethnic groups celebrate together, especially those Miao areas that are not but Miao years, mainly for the Spring Festival, but not as grand as the Miao people celebrate the Miao Year, the Miao people who know Chinese characters also paste some couplets, door gods and the like, and the rest are the same as the Miao Year, that is, the content of national characteristics such as bullfighting, horse racing, visiting relatives and friends, and young men and women "traveling parties" and singing songs has been added. Some people's male and female marriages are also held during the Spring Festival. The Miao people in Xiangxi celebrate the Spring Festival and also hold a large-scale "cattle farm" activity;

The Miao Year is mainly held on the Chen(Dragon) Day or Mao (Rabbit) Day or Chou (Ox) Day in September, October or November of the lunar calendar. In the first few days of the Miao year, every household should clean the house and actively prepare New Year's goods, such as: beating glutinous rice cakes, brewing rice wine, beating tofu, sending bean sprouts, and generally killing pigs or buying pork. Wealthy families also have to make sausages and blood tofu, sew new clothes for their families, and so on.

On the evening of the thirtieth year of the Miao Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family had to eat the New Year's dinner at home, and the door was not opened until midnight to set off firecrackers to welcome the dragon into the house. At dawn, the elders of each family preside over the worship of their ancestors at home. After breakfast, the young and middle-aged men went to their neighbor's house to greet the New Year, which is called "Xiangyang" in the Miao language, to congratulate them on a happy new year. During the first two days of the new year, there are certain taboos in the house, such as: do not go out to carry water, do not go up the mountain to cut wood or grass, do not sweep the floor, women do not do needlework, in some areas, women do not cook, they are replaced by men, men do not go out to collect dung, and so on. Men and women in Miao Township generally choose the time of the Miao year. From the fourth day. Some elderly men and women also went to visit relatives and friends with wine, meat, glutinous rice cakes, etc., or were busy receiving guests at home; some young men and women played sheng and danced in their respective villages, or danced copper drums and bullfights; or young men went to other villages to "tour the party", and men and women sang to each other and poured out their love. The event lasts about 9 days to finish. This is the most solemn festival of the Miao people.

This is also the reason why Hong Fu came to Miao Village and saw that no one celebrated the Spring Festival, only a few families were there, maybe it was just an ordinary festival.

Wu's mother smashed walnuts for Hong Fu, which reminded Hong Fu of smashing walnuts when he was a child, and Wu's mother has been smashing walnuts for herself since then.

"Come, Xiaofu, eat. ”

"Alas. Hongfu sweetly ate the walnuts that he hadn't eaten for several years, and felt that the taste was still the same, and he couldn't help but eat faster, and kept nodding, "It's still the walnut fragrance." ”

"You can't stop eating it. Yi Yi rolled her eyes and said.

Seeing that the two of them were like two people, Mama Wu smiled like a flower, she was originally old, but with the help of Yini, she became as young and beautiful as Yini, but in Hong Fu's eyes, she was still that Wu's mother.

"You two talk, Mom goes cook. ”

Waiting for Wu's mother to leave, Yi Yi took Hongfu to visit Miao Village, which was different from the last time she came in a hurry, this time Hong shares took a good look at Miao Village.

Most of the houses here are wooden structure dry column buildings, tile or brick wood bungalows, etc., there are also houses like bamboo buildings, but at this time it seems to be very deserted, Hong Fu knows why when he thinks about it, he can't help but touch his nose, it seems that he was too frightened last time.

"It's okay, I didn't grow up here, this saint was pressed, if it wasn't for grandpa asking my mother to come back, maybe I wouldn't have come back. Yi Yi saw the situation in Miao Village and didn't care.

"Well, let's go together then. Hong Fu took her hand and said.

"Good. Yi Yi nodded.

The two came back after a while, and Wu's mother brought the food, and the characteristic Miao meals were blood soup, chili bones, Miao Xiang turtle and phoenix soup, cotton cabbage, pounded fish, and sour soup fish.

"I didn't eat it last time, but I tried it. Mother Wu said with a smile.

"Hmm. Hong Fu started and nodded, "Mom's craftsmanship is still so good." ”

"Eat. Mother Wu heard Hong Fu's exaggerated and satisfied words. (To be continued.) )
