This is how Chinese New Year is, eating at this house, drinking at that house, and carrying the joy to the end.
Uncle Yuan Yong stayed at Uncle Yuan's house for a day, and it was also a day of fun; in the third year of junior high school, I had lunch at Er Niang's house, and dinner at my grandmother's house, and the eldest son-in-law was in charge.
The relatives below walked for two days in a row before it came to an end. The specific reunion time had to be decided after the adults discussed with each other. After all, there were other relatives in each family who also needed to blend in.
The relatives on my father's side, that is, my grandmother's elder brother and younger brother, as well as the children under my name, are in another town above my home.
Therefore, we are affectionately called the relatives above.
Every year on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, our family of five will gather above and visit relatives above!
Dad rode a motorcycle, picked up my mother and me, locked the door, and set off above.
Grandpa has been carrying grandma on a bicycle for a long time. Because the bicycle runs slowly, grandpa and grandma set off early.
Jade Crown, the place name of Liaojia Town, is also the middle of our trip.
Grandpa and grandma have already arrived here and stopped on the side of the road to wait for us.
I need to buy some New Year¡¯s goods here. Basically, the New Year¡¯s goods I bought before are taken to the relatives below. When I go to the relatives above, I need to buy additional ones.
In addition to the bacon and eggs brought from home, we also need to buy milk, tea, and dried noodles on this trip.
Dad specially took two cigarettes, specially prepared for the uncle and little cousin.
As for the wine, I didn't buy it.
?Because the uncle's family owned a winery, so the relatives above were not short of wine. After the uncle passed away, the winery was handed over to the younger cousin to take care of it.
The eldest uncle is the eldest, the grandmother is the second child, and the younger uncle is the third child. The three brothers and sisters have a very deep relationship.
My uncle has six children. The eldest is called uncle, and the second to fifth are called aunt to fourth. The little cousin is the sixth child.
Grandma won't talk about it, I mentioned it before.
?My uncle has only one daughter, and he is still teaching English in Central Primary School
After buying good things and negotiating the price, we continued to move forward.
It was nearly ten o'clock, and finally arrived at my uncle's house.
Under the support of the New Year, simple greetings also appear very warm and joyful.
After exchanging greetings, put down our things, we will go to the canteen by the river first, where we need to buy some special things.
Grandma has lived here since she was a child, and everyone nearby knows her very well, and people will greet each other along the way. Walk for five minutes and come to the "Yan" style small shop.
There are a lot of hanging grave money and wax paper money. Of course, the small shop must also include small snacks.
After buying things for going to the grave, I also got a few packets of spicy strips that I like to eat.
Return to my uncle's house and wait for the arrival of Lei Dan's family.
After everyone arrived, a group of people started to go to the grave in a mighty manner.
Grandma's parents were buried in the bamboo forest behind my uncle's house. Stepping into the bamboo forest, the tombs of different heights and heights are different from old to new. They lie there quietly, as if they are guarding the rear for future generations.
Put firecrackers on the floor, insert grave markers, burn incense and candles, and burn paper money while chanting the thoughts of the ancestors and expressing grief, only today
After burning the paper money, everyone left one by one.
For the ancestors in the tomb, I have never seen or contacted them. I just learned something from my grandma's sporadic memories, so when I burned the paper, I mostly didn't feel anything.
But it is different for the great uncle.
Since I was a child, I felt that my uncle was very unusual, and even his face had the feeling of being calm and prestige.
He smokes a long pipe all the year round, and he is also tall, so the status of the family can be imagined. He has six children and never dares to show any dissatisfaction in front of him.
But my uncle is very kind to us. Every year during Chinese New Year, he will smile and care about our achievements, life and so on, and he will give us the most annual money.
? Actually, I don¡¯t have a very deep sensory impression of my uncle. First, I rarely see him on weekdays, and basically only see him a few times during the holidays.
Second, my uncle passed away relatively early, when I was still a primary school student, he left us forever.
Grandpa often said that my uncle's life is not worth it. He worked hard all his life, raised his six children, and let them start a family and start a business; Died of illness, less than sixty years old, really"It's a pity.
Grandma also often mentioned to us how my uncle helped our family.
?Our family has been poor since we were young. When my grandma first got married, she couldn¡¯t even afford to eat. It was the uncle who gave me money for a long time to support me to make ends meet.
The memory of my uncle and the gratitude to him in my heart are turned into every piece of paper money, floating in the firelight with grief
After visiting the grave, I started today's visit to relatives and friends.
?In addition to my uncle's family, today I will also deliver New Year's goods to my uncle, uncle, fourth mother, and cousin in turn.
The rest of the above relatives are relatively far away, such as the aunt and the second mother and the third mother, who are far away from each other, and they have to find another time to go to their house.
Just like when I was visiting relatives below, I went door to door with my sister, carrying things.
The difference is that the younger sister is replaced by Lei Dan from Feng Meier.
After walking around, besides being tired and happy, I was more relieved: I finally finished walking!
Put DouDou back to my aunt's house, hand over the annual money to my mother, and the rest of the time belongs to me and Lei Dan.
"Brother, you have to take me shopping!" My sister wants to eat snacks, and wants me to take him to the Yanshi canteen.
"Here! Two bags for you! My brother left it for you!" I found two bags of spicy sticks from my trouser bag and handed them to Lei Dan. They were bought by my grandma when I was buying grave money.
I bought a total of 4 packs of spicy strips. I have already eaten one pack, and there are three packs left. I will give two packs to my sister, which is exactly half of each person.
"Wow! There are baby pigs! Thank you brother!" The younger sister took the spicy strips with a smile and cried happily.
? Tear open the bag, twist out the spicy strips with your fingertips, the spicy and delicious bean products stimulate my taste, hurry up before lunch, fully experience the joy that childhood should have, this is the true meaning of life!
Although I like Chinese New Year very much, because I can eat chicken, duck and fish that are rarely seen in ordinary times every day, but if I eat this way every meal, I will inevitably get tired of it. At this time, I need spicy strips to enhance the taste.
As for the relatives above, because I rarely see them on weekdays, I don't have much words to talk to them, and the children of all relatives are almost all girls. For me, it is simply a natural gap.
Basically, when visiting the relatives above, my sister and I would just wander around the yard, or stay at my uncle¡¯s house and watch TV, hang out until noon, have a meal together, and then disappear in the deliberately created happy atmosphere until dinner The arrival of (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
