Yu Xin like congratulations

In the afternoon, Shiyang, my parents, and Chenchen were busy pasting pairs, hanging colored paper door picks on the door, the most unbearable Shiyang followed my mother and they called me by my nickname "Lianzi, Lianzi" Actually, I feel like they are calling me when they call Chenchen's nickname "Chenzi, Chenzi".

"Come and fasten this bamboo pole with cypress branches, and Chenzi will get a writing brush, ink and red paper, write 'Welcome happiness and happiness', and let your father tie it to the ladder."

"Okay, call me dad when we finish writing"

"It's so nonsense, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's not over, it's finished, but it's not finished, this baby can't even say a word for the New Year's Eve"

Then, the four characters were written by four people in turn. The order of "Welcome to Happy and Blessed" is - my mother, me, Shiyang, and Chenchen. Shiyang wrote the word "knot", so my father didn't write it. Naturally, I let my father do the work of tying up Xishen.

When I went out to call my father with Shiyang, I was in the yard, picking up the flower roots in the flower pond, "What are you doing?" Shiyang asked me

"It's tidying up the flower roots. I soaked them in the water when I took a bath at night,"

"Oh"

"Just drink this?"

"No, it needs to be soaked and prepared in advance to be consumed and dried. It is cut into cubes like medicine."

"What's the name of this flower?"

"Yu Xin, her common name is Xin Hua'er"

"Why does it have the same name as a person, what a strange flower"

"It's even stranger than this," my father continued, "this flower blooms on time every year at the spring equinox, and falls on time at the autumn equinox. One of the flowers blooms in tubes, and the one in the shade bears seeds. In summer, the flowers are mixed with alum and smashed with a needle hammer, and applied on the nails and hands. Well, it’s a folk custom here. Every year on the [-]th, we use the branches of Yuxin flowers, cut them into small round piles, soak them in the bath, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and ward off evil spirits. Before eating at night, You three dolls are all washed, and your mother has almost heated up the water by now."

As I said that, I heard Chen Chen inside urging my father to go to the room to tie the Xishen pole.

"Hey, I said what do you want?"

"This flower is really strange, why is it so strange, every household here grows it"

"Don't say your brother is really handsome."

"Nonsense, our family is of Korean descent. I don't need to say it. He is obviously handsome. I think my father and my grandfather used our words when they were young. They are good young men who are capable and stick."

"Is it"

"Of course, maybe the ancestor was a nobleman on the Korean Peninsula at that time, so it's not guaranteed."

"It is estimated that the noble Korean blood here is almost ruined by you."

"How do you say this? This is, my great-grandmother is Korean, and there should be about one-eighth of Chenchen and me."

"It's almost one-eighth, are you still expecting to make your noble blood become a little more than one-eighth, right?"

"Lianchen, Mom told you to go to the water room to fetch boiling water."

"I'm carrying water, what are you doing?"

"I'm waiting for you to clean up the mess, mom let me and Shiyang hang out, so that he won't be bored by himself"

"The two of us are no more familiar with him than you are? Why are we going to stop now? Who told me that we don't want to see Shiyang?" To keep him from sleeping in his own room.

"Lianchen is cute and nonsense, don't believe what he said." When Chenchen and Shiyang said this, we all laughed.

The last thing to do during the day is to go out with the whole family to hang lanterns. My mother asked Shiyang, "How old is the baby this year? It's very old."

"23, born in the year of the Ox"

"I'm a monkey, two years younger than you, remember to pinch my zodiac sign to make it look better when steaming flower buns"

"Whoever asks you to come, just talk nonsense, obviously you belong to the dragon, and your father and I belong to the monkey." My mother patted Chenchen on the head,

"Take it easy, it hurts, Dad, that lantern is hung high, let's lower it"

"You know what, I deliberately hung it high, so the red lantern has to be hung high just right."

"The three of you, father and son, have the mouths of ducks. The pig iron is very hard, and you are stubborn iron-mouthed bandits."

After hanging the lantern, I ate something casually, and then I started to have a stomachache. My mother said that I was a person who forgot my roots. , Shanghai’s blowing, and I haven’t changed the water and soil once I came back.” My father started to stir up trouble, and he would follow my mother.My mother is going to steam the steamed buns, and she is going to knelt down for immortals at night.My dad went to visit the neighbor's Er Xiao's house to see if his house was ready.Or discuss with the old man of the second elementary school what kind of good firecrackers to buy this year. It must be the second hoof horn, hemp whip, stacked brocade, or flower cannons.Chenchen took a pack of Xinhua Dinger from the drawer, and went to take a bath happily. Our family rules, good things come from small to big. After my grandpa died, my dad took it for granted that all good things happen. At the end of the turn, I have been complaining innocently about this, clamoring to admit it, and there is nothing I can do.

"Lianchen, rub my back and bring some hot water." Chenchen howled in the west side room,

"I'm having diarrhea, let Shiyang fix it for you" as he said, covering his stomach, and ran to the latrine with the paper in his pocket, then he heard Chen Chen start howling Shiyang, saying the same words as me just now.

"It's over?" Coming out of the hut, I saw Shi Yang coming out of the small side room where he took a bath in the yard,

"It's over, Chenchen is really not a fuel-efficient lamp," Shiyang told me with a smile, "It's really tossing, the ground is full of water, just reminded me that I must wash it in front of you, saying that you have diarrhea, I'm afraid of everything." - You pull it in the tub"

I laughed that way, "Chenchen is just like this, he doesn't say a good word, and he can't spit ivory. My mother often scolds him." I broke the news,

"Don't listen to him, Lian Chen is talking nonsense," my brother greeted while pouring water in the small room.Shiyang and I took a bath one after another, urging my mother to take a bath, "Just wait, our mother is drawing a flower bun," Chenchen said

"Look and go"

The method of Huamo is similar to that of steamed bun, but the shape is different. It is made into the appearance of the zodiac in advance, put into the steamer to steam, and while it is hot, peel off the skin, and then use the brush to dip the prepared edible paint on it. Draw on top.

Every year, my family has to steam two monkeys, one pig and one dragon. These are my family’s zodiac signs. I also steam a tiger every year. Zodiac sign: Ox.

"Mom, mom, go wash it up, let us learn to draw, anyway, you got rid of the skin, and we'll take care of the rest, no, let's finish it"

"Let me draw this tiger" my mother said

"Actually, our mother just wants to show her hand in front of Shiyang. I don't know her yet." Chenchen said to me strangely, "Don't be so hippie, I just settled with you if you can't draw. A good omen is not good, you must draw well, and you will be admitted to a good university after the new year, do you hear me?"

The tiger drawn by my mother is a great one. The three of us are all applauded, not to flatter my mother. It is really a good painting. When drawing a tiger, the body is drawn first, and the head is drawn second. "Words, after these paintings are finished, let's draw the facial features and the final finishing touch.The tiger, "Wang" and the pattern look like the word "Wu". I think of Wu Xin. I don't know if it's better now. I don't know if there is any shadow of Shiyang's acquaintance.

My mother admired her masterpiece for a long time, and went to wash herself, and told me to fetch water, and was ready to go to Xinhua Dinger.

After my mom and dad finished washing, we got together to discuss the zodiac signs we painted. The best ones were the two monkeys except for the tiger, and then my pig, Shiyang and Chenchen.

"Why do you both have the same style? Huh?" We asked with a smile

"Let's draw together. If he doesn't know it, I'll teach him. If I don't know it, just ask him." Chen Chen thought he was satisfied, and said shaking his head.

"It's just like what you drew, this one, that one, it's the same as Song Zhuanzhuan's "Pearl Tower". Mom and dad will see"

Talking about Chenchen Banda, he prepared Shun'er, the reference books that Shiyang and I bought for him, the Olympic Fuwa pendant, nutrition for school, the luminous leather ring of the Olympic rings, hawthorn, and persimmons. The scarf I bought for my mother, and the imitation jade finger puller I bought for my father in Liulichang all fell on the kang.

My mother was happily living one by one, and said to my father and Chen Chen, "If you want me to say, you have to be a real brother. Look at these things. If it's not his real brother, you will be tied to him." Who is willing to spend money to buy this for you, and even put an anti-counterfeiting trademark on it, I know that it is not easy for Lian Zi to earn money outside, it is because parents have treated you badly, blame parents for not being able to do anything, "

As I was talking, my mother burst into tears, "Mom, this is a big New Year's day. I earn money just for my brother, you and my father. I'm so happy. We and Shiyang's family Have a happy new year," I said, and my mother wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and asked Chenchen, "Tell my mother the truth, drinking the one your brother bought for you is nothing at all." "It's the most important thing, otherwise I won't be able to get into the top three." Chen Chen immediately turned to echo, "It's not for nothing, just because of your brother's friendship with you, you have to give to your parents. Study hard, get a good college entrance examination during the Chinese New Year, and live a harmonious life with your brother, sister-in-law and family in the future. You know, don’t dare to break your conscience. I will be the first to clean up your hooked ghosts, hurry up Studying, if you don’t pass the college entrance examination, it’s all over.”

"Mom, that's a long way off. You didn't let me say 'it's over' for a long time, but now you're the one to take the lead."

"That's right, Chenchen is good at studying and has a good mind. He will definitely be admitted to university. My own son, how can I not know?" My father said,

"Yeah, my dear brother, you can live up to it, and you will definitely be admitted to university. My own dear brother has been cooking in a bowl for so many years, how can I not know?" I said

"That's right, my own family, my own family, how can I not know?" My brother said

"Shiyang saw it, didn't you lang, the three of them just wore a pair of trousers all day long and fucked me, I don't want to wait for Chaoli and them, I'll make dumplings for you later, you set up a table," my mother assigned the work

"Okay", Chenchen moved the table and put it in front of Kang Yan'er, "Lianchen, no, dear brother, you and Shiyang moved both."

"Little trickster. It's not here. It's outside. It's in the courtyard. You haven't knelt at the house of the gods and gods. You eat it first. If you're full, just eat it." My mother scolded Chenchen, and we laughed Then he moved the table that had been moved to the pot house to the core of the yard.

Then take out the zodiac flower steamed buns, fruits, snacks, sugar, dipping children, yellow watches, candles, incense burners, two cups of water, three cups of wine, five-color paper, kneeling mats, all out and chatting, what is the guy? After the children were all over, under the auspices of my mother, my father, my mother, me, Shiyang, and Chenchen all put incense on the three pillars in turn, praying for a good year, good weather, a prosperous house, and safe going out.Afterwards, my father gave Chen Chen a small sorghum broom tied with red thread and pasted red cross red paper on it, and Chen Chen shouted, "The old words are happy, and the new ones are old~~ ~~~~" The auspicious words were thrown high on the roof.

"Who made this too?"

"It's usually like this. It's all done by the younger generation, not to mention the only son. Brothers like me and Chenchen take turns to do it. One person for one year, and the three or four brothers in the family also take turns. Last year I threw it away. Yes, it’s Chenchen’s turn this year. When my grandfather was alive, we were young, and we were held by my dad once a year. He taught us what to say, or said it for us, and threw it up. "

"That auspicious words are really nice to hear"

"Cough, there are too many, like 'Two years in one night, two years in five o'clock', 'The purple air is brewing in the east, and Zhongnanshan in the north',"

"They were all invented by your family?"

"Everyone in the village says so"

Speaking of my mother coming out to lift the paper, we knelt down one by one from the old to the young, praying for the realization of our wishes, my mother said in her mouth, let the Shenshenlang family bless Lianzi, Chenzi, the old man, Shi Yang, our family is safe and in good health. Forgive me for the children who are ignorant and collide. Don't remember things like blame.

Considering that the tribute will be put on the next day, we didn’t move the big table, but put the small table on the kang. While my mother was cooking dumplings, Chenchen and Shiyang were stalking and hanging on the clothes wire. A lot of hemp whips were hung up, and the firecracker racks were set up on the ground in the yard, filled with firecrackers commonly known as the two hooves.After the dumplings were ready, my father took the seat, and my mother sifted the wine for my father. The three of us put the fish, chicken and other food, chopsticks, vinegar sticks and other tableware that my mother had prepared on the table. Chenchen and I are setting a porcelain incense burner (the top edge is decorated with hollow lace made by my mother with big red paper, there are whole grains in it, cypress leaves are inserted, and a red cross is pasted on it) In front of the portraits of my grandparents, I placed dumplings, vinegar, and meat symbolically, and then offered incense on my parents' behalf, "Grandma and grandma are celebrating Chinese New Year again, and our family is doing well. Don't forget about it. You can use some of these foods. Your two elders bless our family", then kowtow three heads and eat on the kang.

"I wish my parents good health" I said

"I wish my parents all the best," Chenchen said

"I wish Uncle and Aunt all wishes come true." Shiyang has also learned to do as the Romans do. Before that, Chenchen and I joined forces to resist these red tapes, and each time ended in failure without exception. After so many years, I feel I'm used to it. At this time, I feel like I'm not a year without these auspicious words. I seem to understand that the reason why Chenchen and I failed in the uprising is probably because my parents have gotten used to it after many years. After adopting this tradition, it seems that I am used to it now, and I have gone through a process from resistance to self-awareness.

"Well, dear, dear, our dolls will be very lucky this year." My father said with a smile, and at the same time, my mother took out three red envelopes and gave them to me respectively. It's much thicker than Shiyang's, "You monkey bastard, you're all the same, I don't know the money I pretended, eat it quickly"

My mother picks up vegetables for my dad, and then my dad picks up vegetables for my mother, and then picks up vegetables for Chenchen, and picks up vegetables for me. This year, it’s after picking up vegetables for Shiyang that I’m on the wheel. This happens every year before I can be free. It's a struggle to start eating.

When eating dumplings, my mother picked one for each of us and put it in the dipping butterfly. We bit down excitedly, and I found that me, Chenchen, and my father had weird expressions. A dumpling is pleasing to the eye, and we can't spit it out no matter what, we just frowned and ate the dumpling, rushed to the kitchen and yelled to drink water.

"What's yours?" Chen Chen asked me

"Chili, what about you?" I asked Chen Chen

"Xiancai, that's a salty dish, what about you dear dad?" Chen Chen asked

"You are content, yours is only salty, but I am not so good, the black sauce is put in, and it is colored." Laughing.

My mother and Shiyang each ate the dumplings with relish, what a joy.

"Don't say it, it must be a good thing that Mom did."

"I did it. You father and son are allowed to control me, but I am not allowed to control you with two hands."

"It's amazing, every year we can't escape mother's clutches," Chen Chen said,

When she was half full, Chenchen started to pay attention, turned on the TV, pinned the watch and waited for eight o'clock, and rushed out to set off firecrackers on time. Every year, my family competes with Jiebier's family, and the folks in the country set off firecrackers on time at eight o'clock. The coming year will be smooth.

Every year, when Chenchen or I were still three or two minutes away, we rushed out and waited in front of us, holding half-burned incense in our hands. One sound, open up.My family has the advantage of having more children, and it is often better than the second child's family every year.This year, Shiyang showed us both, and it was even more powerful.After the crackling was over, the whole family stood in the yard watching the fireworks of other houses. It was almost the same. My dad said, "Go back to the house and make the dumpling order." We swarmed back, "What is the dumpling order? I've only heard about wine orders and punches, I'm so confused, what should I do?" Shiyang asked me

"It's okay, I'm proficient. I'll teach you when the time comes, and I'm sure you'll be brilliant. I'm a well-known commanding officer in our family," Chen Chenxing showed off.

"Don't listen to him, watch out for the show, he makes a fool of himself every year, he doesn't even know how much vinegar he's drunk, haha, he doesn't even care about himself" I broke the news on the spot

Chenchen was unconvinced and yelled for a duel with me. The dumpling order basically means that before eating a dumpling, you must say a few jingles, and you must have something to do with the dumpling. Those who issued a non-compliant order were punished to drink alcohol. Chenchen was young, and the punishment was changed to drink old vinegar, which made her feel sour, her teeth were broken, and her appetite was whetted.

"Dad first, dad first" Chen Chen urged,

"Listen, 'The mountains are green and the water is beautiful and the sun is high, cut open the gourd to make a water ladle'"

"This is too loud, no, fine wine, fine wine, mom can't let my dad go this time, you have to uphold justice," Chen Chen said loudly

"It's impossible to wait for him, but let him go lightly." My mother picked up the wine and wanted to pour it.

"I haven't said everything yet." My dad smiled schemingly, "Listen, 'Scoop up half a ladle of old vinegar, and the dumplings will eat it all'"

As he said, he picked up a dumpling and ate it with gusto, "Hey, my dad, an old fox, escaped again. No matter how shrewd a hunter is, the fox's ass can't be missed." Chen Chen said, "The dog's Ghost, it's your turn." My dad urged Chenchen, "I'll get vinegar." I smiled and threatened Chenchen

"Turn around from my mother, I'll be the last one." Chenchen avoided it with an excuse.

"Listen, 'On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the dry boat runs, and the Lantern Festival grows grassy edges'"

"What does this have to do with dumplings?" Chenchen asked my mother

"Isn't the dumpling just like the head of the Lantern Festival with grass growing on the side?" My mother also picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the vinegar stick and ate it.

It was Shiyang's turn, "I really don't know how to do it, or I'll be punished for the bar" with a smile

"Chenchen, hurry up and help Shiyang think about it, you weren't the one who was still capable just now" I said

"Shiyang, you should take care of it. You are a college student. I haven't graduated from high school yet," Chenchen said.

"Well, I'll give Shiyang a riddle, let him guess, guess it, eat dumplings, guess can't guess, drink, okay" my mother said, "Okay, okay" everyone passed

"Listen, 'A group of white geese are playing with water to cross the river. Someone asked you how to do it. Don't worry about my brother'" my mother just finished speaking.

"I know, I know, I know, it's too easy to guess, mom is so biased" Chenchen shouted

Shiyang thought for a while, it seemed that he had no idea, we all laughed, Shiyang looked at me, my eyes fell on the dumpling, I looked at it, and handed it to Shiyang, "It's a dumpling, haha, I guessed it, it's a dumpling, right?" "Shiyang was very happy

"It's Lianchen, no, your Lianzi is here to report," Chenchen happily revealed

"I didn't even open my mouth suddenly," I snapped

"It's over" My mother picked up a dumpling for Shiyang, and gave an order by the way, rejecting Chenchen's protest.

"It's my turn, eh, listen!" I said

"You startled me, keep your voice down." Chen Chen put the glass of wine in front of me, "Don't put on an act, it's serious to drink while you're waiting."

"'Fat head and big ears, round balls, ask him what kind of stuffing'"

With a smile, he poured a large glass of vinegar for Chen Chen.

"It's your turn" my mother urged Chenchen,

"Listen, 'Taugut Dumplings and Erguo Noodles, I saw my mother wash her feet'" This order is true, "Repeat, this doesn't count," my mother said

"why doesn't count"

"Who asked you to tell me to come, let me tell you another one." My mother thought that Chenchen "slandered" the elders, and she was disrespectful, so I was secretly happy.

"Eh, this, this, this, listen to 'firecrackers on the first day of the new year, and go to the latrine with your pants in hand'" I almost burst out laughing.

"What is the relationship with the dumplings? If you can't tell, I will use vinegar instead of punishment."

"Of course it's related. I went to the latrine because I ate dumplings, just like Lian Chen. I went to the latrine, haha." He picked up a dumpling and ate happily.

Then look at us all look at him, "look at me"

"I saw you ate the dumplings and went to the latrine." There was another burst of laughter.

Chen Chen was still explaining, "It's Lianzi, not me."

In the end, my mother distributed dumplings to no one. We all got one green cherry, Shiyang got one red cherry, and Chen Chen got two red cherries. Mom sincerely hopes that he will be admitted to a good university, like the Broadcasting Academy.

It's past two o'clock at night after the noise. My parents have to stay up all night every year, which is commonly known as staying up every year.We usually go to bed when we are sleepy, and at the time of the second climax at zero o’clock, we called Shun’er who is far away in Beijing to call each other to wish New Year, Shun’er complained that the cannons were not allowed there, and said that he would come with us if we knew about it. , Shiyang rushed to say, "It's very interesting to celebrate the New Year here, it's like a cross talk show party, it's so funny." While talking, Lianchen set off a fireworks display in the yard, and Shiyang and I looked up at the same time, The wonderful fireworks are flickering and scattered, flickering and flickering, just like this festive year.

That night, I, Shiyang, and Chenchen lived in the west ear room where Chenchen lived. My parents were still watching the new year in the main room, watching the Spring Festival Gala and those New Year's films after midnight.

Shiyang is not very familiar with our dialect, so he kept asking us, what is this thing called, what is that thing called, what is the electric light called, what is the window called in your dialect, and so on. He yelled, and he yelled as well, which made us happy, and what was even more terrible was that Shiyang asked us both, "Why do you call it that way, why do you call it that way?"

"I don't know why, I asked Lian Chen, he is a college student"

... It's a good day, just pass it with laughter and laughter, even if it's a bad one, you have to live it like that, in short, as long as you live it, everything will pass, just like the yard just now What Shiyang and I saw in the movie, the fireworks of Chenchen's firecrackers, and the flowers of Yu Xin that bloomed last year.
