At that time, my family lived in the southeast mountain nest behind Yantai Naval School, and there were only a few villages nearby. When we entered Yantai, we had to cross a Dongshan Mountain, which was the most secluded corner, but "Chinese New Year" was still the most grand festival of the year.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, my mother was the busiest. She is busy with the new clothes, shoes and hats that we wear for the New Year, and the meat that a family eats for half a month. Because of the custom there, pigs are not slaughtered and meat is not sold from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first month. I saw my mother wearing an apron and sleeves, filling the big jar with chunks of delicious bad meat wrapped in "red distiller's grains", braised pork cooked with soy sauce, sugar and various spices, and steamed several drawers of brown sugar rice cakes ... When my mother did these things, not only were we greedy children standing next to her, but also the chef and Yu Ma who were helping.
As for my father, he prepares New Year's entertainment for the children after school. Not only my cousin, but also my cousin went to school in the naval school. It's really "one watch is three thousand Li". There are at least seven or eight aunts, uncles and cousins. My father bought a set of percussion instruments from Yantai, and played them with gongs, drums, flutes, flutes, erhu and yueqin. It was really lively. It's just that I can't squeeze into their band! I can only set off some firecrackers that my father bought for us during the day and some fireworks at night. The big one is put on the ground in a tube, and the fire tree and silver flowers are very bright! My favorite is the smallest and simplest "Didi Jin". It's a small piece of paper twisted with a little gunpowder, which can be lit in your hand and sounded before, bursting with sparks.
I remember that when we got up early on the first day of the first lunar month, we put on new clothes and shoes, first we worshipped our ancestors-our family didn't offer deities-there were only ancestral tablets, incense, candles and sacrifices on the table, and this table of wine and vegetables was our New Year's lunch-and then we paid New Year greetings to our parents and elders. Most of the lucky money I got in the red paper bag was a shiny Mexican "standing person" silver dollar, which I invited.
The most interesting thing is to play the "Flower Show" from various rural areas. The actors are farmers who are idle in winter in various villages. Most of the programs are "Running on a dry boat" and "Aunt Wang shoveling a big jar". The actresses are all young people in the village, wearing thick powder. Drums lead, followed by many children. When I arrived at my house, a large group of people naturally surrounded me, so they dressed up and sang, accompanied by musical instruments, and most of the songs were ridiculous, which attracted everyone's laughter. After the game, we will comfort them with cigarettes, wine and snacks. The flower party in this village has just left, and the one in that village has come again. Naturally, the flower party in the nearest Golden Hook Village comes first!
When I was eleven years old, I returned to my hometown of Fuzhou, Fujian, where the Spring Festival was much more lively. In our big family, four rooms live together and eat separately, and my grandfather eats with us in this room. Since the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people have been busy cleaning houses, scrubbing doors and windows and copper and tin utensils, and preparing bad and pickled chickens, ducks, fish and meat. Grandpa is only busy writing Spring Festival couplets and sticking them on the polished door or side door. On the morning of New Year's Day, he himself wrote in red paper: "Opening on New Year's Day, Happy New Year ..." I don't know or remember any auspicious words below.
In the New Year, each of us gets many good things from his "grandma's house". The first is stove candy and stove cake, which are boxes of candy and snacks. It is said that it is used to worship the kitchen king. Sugar and snacks are very sweet and sticky, in order to paste the mouth of the kitchen king, so that he can't report bad things about this family in heaven! The best thing is lanterns. In Fuzhou dialect, "Deng" and "Ding" are homonyms, so the number of lanterns sent is always more than the number of children, which means adding Ding. At that time, my younger brothers were still young and wouldn't compete with me. The extra one was always given to me. These lamps are paper, gauze and glass ... So I hung a lantern on the wall of my house, and the figure on it was "Three English Wars", with a goldfish lamp with movable eyes in my hand and a white rabbit lamp with wheels at my feet in the other hand. At the same time, Nanhou Street, where my home is located, is originally a lamp market, and most of this street is a lamp shop. The "Wanxing Barrel Stone Shop" in front of my house usually sells all kinds of lamps in addition to all kinds of big and small barrels with red paint and Phnom Penh. It's not lanterns held by children, but big glass lamps, gauze lamps, silk lamps, horn lamps, etc. with delicate flowers and birds painted on them. On the Lantern Festival night, they are all lit up. It's really like "the flower market lights are like day", and tourists are weaving and laughing all over the street!
After the Lantern Festival, the annual glorious day is over. When the adults asked us to burn a lot of lanterns together after playing enough, they said, "From tomorrow on, take care of yourself and go to school." We listened silently and looked at the stars embers of those lanterns in the courtyard, with an indescribable sense of melancholy and loneliness. When we went to bed, the taste of the night was really hard!
well, I reviewed the classics and looked at the question:
Question 1: What two things did the author mainly choose to write?
a: ① father prepares entertainment for the children after school, but "I" has no share.
② On the Lantern Festival, "we" can get many lanterns at grandma's house.
question 2: why did the author arrange this?
A: This arrangement highlights that "I" was still young at that time and loved the Chinese New Year very much, not only because I could receive lucky money during the Chinese New Year, but also because the Chinese New Year was interesting and lively, which paved the way for the glorious annual day when I was reluctant to part with it after the Lantern Festival: I was reluctant to leave because I liked it.
