The Spring Festival is coming, and the whole family is planning to leave for my grandpa’s house to celebrate the Spring Festival on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. My heart has long grown grass - I finally got on the plane to Wuhan! After getting off the plane, we took a 2-hour bus ride to my grandpa’s house. As soon as I got off the car, I immediately smelled a strong smell of the New Year: a cold air hit me, and I couldn't help but shiver several times. The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke after setting off firecrackers, sometimes mixed with the strong aroma of cooking meat. "Ding——dong——", "crackling——", the sound of firecrackers kept coming and going. The sky was filled with colorful lights. In order to welcome our family of three, my grandpa specially placed two firecrackers in front of the building. Amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, we entered grandpa's house. This is my first time to celebrate the New Year outside. The next day, as soon as it got light, I couldn't wait to run to the yard. The yard of my grandpa’s house is also very beautiful. The courtyard is very large, with a three-story building in the middle. The lower part of the building's exterior wall is inlaid with vermilion tiles. There are many trees and bamboos planted in the yard. Most of the trees had fallen leaves and were bare. Only a few wintersweet trees were in full bloom. I suddenly remembered Wang Anshi's "Plum Blossoms" that I had studied: "There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone. I know it is not snow in the distance, because there is a faint fragrance." And the wintersweet flowers at my grandpa's house are yellow, not white. Why did Wang Anshi say that plum blossoms are snow? Grandpa lifted me up and let me smell the plum blossoms. Ah, they smell so fragrant! Plum blossoms are so fragrant! About ten meters away from the door of the building, there is an open space of dirt. There are several large tanks there, round and short. That's for growing lotus flowers. When I walked in, I saw that the tank was filled with ice. This is the first time I have seen such a large piece of ice. I suddenly became interested and poked the ice with the handle of the broom. The ice did not break, but the broom broke. I found the pliers my grandpa used to make charcoal and poked the ice. The ice was broken. It was so fun! Grandpa put me on the motorcycle and took me to ride it. He told me: The right hand is the accelerator; the left foot is the gear; the right foot is the starter motor. After a few laps, I knew the functions of each part of the motorcycle. Another interesting thing is that the birds here eat sausages. On the roof of the third floor, there are many sausages, bacon and fish hanging. However, there are many nets covering it. Grandpa told me that this is to prevent birds from stealing food. It turns out that the birds here can eat sausages. This is the first time I have heard of it. Sure enough, grandpa took out the sausage that had been eaten by the birds and showed it to me. It’s so fun to celebrate the New Year at grandpa’s house! It's just too cold. Although my grandpa lit a brazier for me, it was still cold! I told my grandpa: "I will come here to play when I have time in the future."
