The taste of childhood

When I entered the twelfth lunar month, it was New Year every day. As soon as I entered the twelfth lunar month, my parents told me to speak less nonsense and more auspicious words. I was confused. What is nonsense and how to say auspicious words. , this question is too difficult.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gaoyaji is held. The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month has a New Year atmosphere. Stalls are set up to sell New Year paintings. There are many things such as wealth and wealth, good fortune, landscape paintings, and four paintings. There are also a lot of people selling mosaic paintings, and there are two rows of them behind the supply and marketing cooperative.

When you buy a stove horse head, you can’t just say “buy”, you say “please”. Those who sell stove horse heads all say, “Please ask the God of Wealth.”

, the autumn market is not as good as the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, which means that it is the peak season of the year for doing business on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Gaoya Gathering is the busiest of the year, with the sound of popping firecrackers and the sounds of various vendors and shouts. People from all over the country come to buy new year's goods in droves. There are people who have lost their shoes, people who have squeezed off their hats, people who have had their bags taken out, and there are all kinds of statues.

After buying the couplet paper and asking for the stove horse head, the New Year is over. The next step is to spend money and buy New Year's goods.

When my father was busy, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bottle of ink. He took the cut team paper and asked the teacher in the village to write a couplet. Write, God will say good things, and the lower world will bring good luck. Hengpi is the head of the family. Others write, God will say more good things, and the lower world will bring good luck. After writing about the Stove Lord, then write about the door, and the loyalty will spread far and wide. Poems and books are passed down from generation to generation, horizontally criticize loyal people, people who have accumulated good deeds are more than happy, sunflowers and trees come early in spring, various, written on the bed, good health, written at the gate, happy when going out, and lastly, written in the pig pen, so big and fat Pigs, prosperous animals and so on, they all have good meanings and are auspicious words.

In a blink of an eye, it is the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, celebrating the New Year. Every household sweeps the house, cleans the house, sweeps away the regrets of the year, tears off the old paper on the windows and pastes new white paper with dexterous hands. I also cut a few window grilles and put them on them. The old things should be cleaned up on this day. What should be put away and what should be thrown away must be put away on this day, and then re-pasted with the newly invited Stove Horse Head, which is the Stove Lord. , celebrate the off year.

On this day, every household will leave the stove and send the Stove Lord to the heaven to repay the work of the past year. All the merits and demerits must be reported clearly. In front of the Stove Lord, sugar, persimmons, soft dates and incense are placed. I still have something to say. Today is the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month. Grandpa Kitchen King is going to the west. Talk less gossip and say more kind words. In seven days, please come down to celebrate the New Year. , if we still talk about seven days, it will be the first day of the new year when the Kitchen God comes back.

Living candy is sweet and extremely sticky. The Stove Lord went to heaven and had not yet opened his mouth to report his work. When he saw some living candy, he took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He failed to report his work and his mouth was stuck. Now, I can’t tell the merits and demerits of this family. There is no merits, demerits, merits and demerits of this family in heaven, so there will be no rewards and punishments. This matter is over.

Persimmons mean everything goes well, and jujubes are sweet and have seeds, which means sweetness and having children. When the Jade Emperor saw the Stove Lord eating happily, he asked if it was sweet. The answer was, sweet, with seeds? If you have children, if you have children, the whole family will have a peaceful year.

After the Little New Year, every household is busy, grinding tofu to make tofu, steaming cakes, making rice cakes, spreading pancakes, preparing for the New Year is the work of women.

The men start to light the stove to boil water, and then start to kill the chicken. Usually, they start the stove at ten o'clock in the morning, take the chicken and kill it, put the chicken blood in a bowl, remove the feathers, eviscerate, and get busy. It's one o'clock in the afternoon.

After killing the chickens, I was tired. I picked up chicken livers, chicken feet, chicken blood, stewed the chicken, drank some wine, and the children were also greedy. The adults said at this time, chicken blood cannot be eaten by children. Eat, you will get freckles, that is, freckles. If you eat chicken feet, children will go to school and study hard. If you eat chicken heads, it rained on the day you married your wife. Besides, all year round, the man in charge of the house only has such benefits, what will happen to the children after eating them? Drinking wine, not to mention keeping the chicken heads as offerings.

After finishing the wine, the next step was to make Gaoya fried chicken. Chop the chicken into small pieces, bake it in oil on the stove, wrap it evenly with flour, and then put it into the beaten eggs. Wrap the eggs and control them to prevent them from being wasted. After wrapping the eggs, start frying the chicken when it is cooked. The fried chicken nuggets are golden and you want to eat them when you look at them. Children often take pieces secretly when adults are not paying attention. When eating fried chicken, you usually get the big ones, which are full of bones. If you steal a piece of fried chicken, there will be no meat in it.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, we go to the graves to worship our ancestors, burn paper, make offerings, and set off firecrackers. After worshiping our ancestors, we go home to celebrate the New Year in peace.

It looks like a mountain, and from the gate to the inside, the women are busy kneading noodles, chopping stuffing, and preparing to make dumplings.

When it gets dark, set up the heaven and earth sheds to make offerings. You need three wine glasses and chopsticks, and an incense basket. The same is done in front of the Stove Lord. Fill the water tank with water and put a washed spinach on it. Put pastry, fish noodles, reunion cakes, tofu, and other dry food in it. This is called a pressure cooker, which means a good harvest and no shortage of food.

After everything is ready, we start making dumplings. The dumplings are wrapped and covered with yellow paper. At this time, the children are not allowed to go out of the house, they cannot speak loudly, and they cannot use their hands at night. Hold on to the window sill, otherwise you will get sores in the coming year.

From the beginning of the day, except for making dumplings, other things are the responsibility of the men. Women are also not allowed to leave the house. After making the dumplings, the men burn incense and go out to set off a few firecrackers. , put a stick inside the main door, called a door stick, firstly to keep out wealth, secondly to keep evil spirits away from the house, and thirdly to prove that the dumplings are finished and the New Year mode has officially entered.

Men cannot sleep all night on New Year’s Eve. This is called staying up late. After making dumplings, the incense sticks in the heaven and earth sheds and in front of the Kitchen God cannot be shorted overnight, and must be burned one by one. On New Year's Eve, burning incense starts from heaven and earth, and all the excess is inserted in front of the Stove Lord.

After twelve o'clock in the night, they start cooking, boiling dumplings, and handing out paper horses. Before handing out the paper horses, the men first set off a firecracker in the yard and chanted, "A firecracker will help open the door, increase the number of people." The God of Fortune and Fortune comes in, distributes the paper horses, and sets off the whips. The whole family gathers together to eat New Year’s Eve dinner. At this time, the children kowtow to their grandparents, and the parents kowtow and receive red envelopes. The most impatient thing is that they are not allowed to leave the house, and the paper horses are released. It's easy to pick up the ones that don't make any noise after being whipped.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, I took the red envelope and put on new clothes. At this time, I could move around freely, sleep, or drink tea and chat. At that time, there was no TV or Spring Festival Gala.

The children finally waited until three or four o'clock in the morning, and then went out to kowtow to their elders to pay New Year greetings. For children, this is when the real New Year begins. When you go to the elders' home, ask first when you enter the door. Happy Chinese New Year to grandparents or uncles, the other party also replied, good, good, good, Xen’s mother and Xen’s father both got up quite early.

In fact, this is etiquette. You have to ask like this even if you know you haven’t slept all night, and then you let him eat peanuts and melon seeds. This is not the point. The child is waiting for a few cents of kowtow money, the old man The old lady divided the money, and the child hurriedly asked about the grandparents or uncles. I went to visit whose house, and when I came out, I was the first one. Even at nine o'clock in the morning, I was the first one. The adults also came out, and the child ran away. I left the house and quickly looked for the silent whip, lest other children would pick it up.

After the New Year greetings in the morning, the harvest was full of two bags of silent whips, candies, peanuts, and melon seeds. A few children went back and opened the paper handles and put them on fire. That is quite dangerous. But I still played it for generations.

The older children gathered together to play games, such as breaking tiles, jumping houses, and playing on the back floor. Children in every household were wearing new brands and colors, and they all said happy New Year when they met.

The night of the first day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the mouse marries his wife and the cat marries his daughter. Adults and children must go to bed early and no one can look at it. The cat will eat the mouse as soon as he sees it, and the marriage will not be completed in one year. It's unlucky because it means you stayed up all night and went to bed early to rest.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to visit the mother-in-law’s house. The family goes to the mother-in-law’s house and grandma’s house to pay New Year’s greetings. They visit the elderly, relatives and friends gather together happily, and they leave several relatives in one go. They all knew that they had to go to the next house, so they didn't stay. When they left all the doors, the pastries were all broken, and the one who was returning laughed.

The fifth day of the lunar month is also called the fifth day of the end. The heaven and earth shed in the courtyard can be removed. After setting off the whip early in the morning and burning the incense, all the offerings in the heaven and earth shed can be removed. Some even leave an incense stick. cage.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival begins. Here we have dragon dancing, yangko playing, stilt walking, juggling, and of course those selling clay tigers and clay figurines. We set off fireworks and children set off fireworks. Drops of gold, mumbling, drops of gold, drops of gold, order one for one. Eating Yuanxiao is quite a luxury, and ordinary families cannot afford it.

After the fifteenth year of the first lunar month, preparations are usually made for the next year’s birth, and children are about to start school. Parents are supervising and urging them to do their homework. Some of them can’t even finish their homework after school starts. Forced to stand.

In fact, although I was poor when I was a child, and my material resources were not as rich as in modern times, the flavor of the New Year was really very strong. I counted the days on my fingers several months in advance and wanted to celebrate the New Year. Now it is just the New Year. Take a few days off from work and visit relatives.

In a blink of an eye, it is February 2. The second dragon of February raises its head. Long live Mr. Huang is the envoy of the golden ox. The empress of the palace comes to deliver food. Baoding is peaceful and the world is harvested. On this day, every household is busy farming and another day has begun. years of labor.

There is another custom on February 2nd, which is to use plant ash and sprinkle grain inside, which means a good harvest. Then stir-fry jelly beans. Soak the soybeans the night before. On the morning of February 2nd Fry them up and share them with the children. It's sweet and crispy. A complete New Year is over. Let's taste it carefully to see if there is any New Year flavor.
