    Because I was alone in the mountains last night, reminiscing about my experiences since returning home, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional and excited, so I went to bed very late.  Originally, he should have slept in this morning, but Zhou Yu was still awakened by waves of low roaring sounds in his sleep.  After getting up from the kang, I opened the curtains and found that the sky was still gray and not bright at all.  But from time to time, the low sound of firecrackers came from the direction of Zhoujiacun.  Zhou Yu felt a burst of joy and joy, New Year's Eve has finally arrived.  The joy and excitement of the festival stimulated Zhou Yu. Even if he wanted to sleep back, it was impossible. Besides, he had a lot of work to do today.  Not caring about breakfast, Zhou Yu took advantage of the light of the street lamp to start feeding the animals on the mountain and the poultry halfway up the mountain.  After a while, several people from Zhou Zhiwei came over on bicycles from home. They all finished the work together and then went back.  The sky gradually became brighter, and soon a red sun slowly rose, injecting a touch of warmth into this cold morning.  Phoenix Mountain is still as warm as spring. Although it is in the north in the cold winter, it is like the beautiful south of the Yangtze River, with red flowers, green willows and gurgling streams.  Today is the New Year¡¯s Eve, and everyone must stay home at night. It¡¯s impossible to keep people here in Phoenix Mountain, so just now everyone poured all the food for the day into the pig pens and poultry pens.  As for the brown bear family and deer, as well as the big red brothers and the big donkeys and the two donkeys, Zhou Yu is planning to bring them into the space to celebrate the New Year.  But just in case, Zhou Yu still planned to leave Huahua and his whole family to guard the mountain, because they were smart enough and felt safe staying here to watch the mountain.  Finished the work on the mountain.  After arranging all kinds of things, Zhou Yu drove down the mountain.  Although it¡¯s as warm as spring on Phoenix Mountain.  But when we reached the foot of the mountain, it immediately became dry and cold, and Xianyu Bay was also frozen.  Under the rising sun, the white ice reflects the dazzling light.  The car slowly drove into the village along the asphalt road. The usually quiet small village was now bustling with firecrackers. Happy laughter came from every household, and even the air was filled with the flavor of the New Year.  Long wooden poles for hanging lanterns have been set up in the yards of each house. The children are holding plastic bags in their hands, which contain freshly fried sweet potatoes, sweet potato strips, meatballs and other fried foods.  While playing around, a few naughty little guys took apart the small whip and Dadi Hong, etc., and then placed them one by one with lit incense.  The men took the frozen pork bones and trotters back home to defrost them, and then they were ready to cut the bones out of the pork bones.  Then the pig's trotters are boiled to make pig's trotters jelly, which is reserved for the morning of New Year's Day.  The women gather around the pot and beat glutinous rice with flour, so that they can paste the Spring Festival couplets with the characters "Fu" later In the Northeast, there are two things to pay attention to when posting Spring Festival couplets. One is that they must be finished before 12 noon, which means that the family will be diligent in the coming year.  , not to fall behind others; secondly, the "glutinous paste" (glue) used to paste the Spring Festival couplets must be made with home-made flour and water, so that the Spring Festival couplets can be pasted firmly and firmly.  On New Year's Eve, every household posts Spring Festival couplets together.  Whoever's Spring Festival couplets "stick" to the door frame for a long time, and do not fall off after being weathered by wind and rain, and even last until the next Spring Festival, proves that this family must have a clever wife.  When Zhou Yu got home, his father was soaking pig bones.  My mother was making glutinous rice, and the kang was filled with Spring Festival couplets, Chinese characters for blessing, and various colors of cakes.  Seeing her son coming back, Wang Guilan said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, please take a rest first. After mom finishes laying the glutinous rice cakes, you and your dad paste the Spring Festival couplets with the words "Fu" on them. Our house is on the second floor. So there are also people upstairs."  You have to post it. And you two have to hurry up and post it before the wind comes down in the morning. There are still so many houses on Fenghuang Mountain." Zhou Yu was startled and said quickly: "Mom,  Forget it on the mountain. When will all the houses be decorated? It¡¯s still tiring people to death.¡±  Isn't it bad to have more houses? Mom still wants to post from morning to night, the key is that you have so many houses?" Wang Guilancheng said angrily.  Zhou Yu was speechless. Since his mother said so, it was done, so he found a broom from the kang, sorted the Spring Festival couplets and horizontal batches, and finally divided the various colors into a group of five pieces of different colors.  , so that it can be pasted faster later.  After the paste was applied, Zhou Yu stepped on the ladder and pasted the Spring Festival couplets horizontally and colorfully on top, while Zhou Dingguo worked on it below.  As for Wang Guilan, she started to cut the bones and pig's trotters. The three members of the family each had their own division of labor, and they worked enthusiastically. ???????? Spring couplets are not only posted outside the main house, but also on cars or livestock carts, chicken racks, pig pens, wells, ladders, etc.  The one on the car means that the car has traveled a thousand miles and the journey is safe; the one on the chicken stand means that the rack is full of golden roosters; the one on the pig pen means that the pen is full of fat pigs; the one on the well means that drinking water means thinking about the source; and the one on the ladder means thatstep up.  Wang Zhijiang, who was on the other side, was also bringing out paste with the girl to put up Spring Festival couplets. Seeing that his nephew had already started to take action, he joked across the courtyard wall: "Hey, isn't this my eldest nephew? By the way, we are all like this.  You¡¯re a big boss and you¡¯re posting Spring Festival couplets on the wall yourself? If I were you, I¡¯d spend 10,000 yuan to hire a few people to do it.¡± Before Zhou Yu could refute, Shanshan finally returned home with a smile.  Said: "Oh dad, you are so wise. My brother is so rich now that he should hire someone to help him. What about my brother? If you want to hire someone, you must hire me first. Our wealth will not go to outsiders."  Standing on the ladder, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing what the father and son said, and laughed loudly: "Shanshan, how come you have become as greedy for money as your father? Really, my uncle didn't teach you anything.  But don¡¯t worry, sister, whenever you are short of money, just tell your brother, because now we are so poor that all we have left is money.¡± Shanshan immediately looked at Zhou with a look of admiration, her beautiful big eyes shining brightly.  Yu sweetly said: "Brother, you are still nice to me, unlike my dad who is stingy. If I want to buy a laptop, just ask me to buy a domestic brand. It is not allowed to cost more than 4,000. Doesn't the function of this thing work?"  And there are three thousand yuan that I earned myself, and he will only give me one thousand yuan more.¡± After saying this, the girl blinked her big eyes a few times and continued: ¡°Hey, brother.  Why do you think my dad is Zhou Papi? " "Hahaha, Shanshan. You are right, but his name is Wang Papi, but don't worry about it.  Brother Wan Nian will buy you an Apple machine. I guarantee it will be a high-quality product worth more than 10,000 yuan. Do you think it¡¯s okay? " "Wow, that¡¯s great, brother, long live brother" Shanshan danced with joy, she couldn¡¯t be happier.  look.  Wang Zhijiang has a lot of black streaks in his head. These two dead kids dare to kill him in broad daylight. Is this okay?  So he said with a tigerish face and threatened: "Okay, Xiaoyu, Shanshan. You two damn children are really not big or small, and you dare to bury me. Today is the New Year's Eve, so I won't argue with you two."  , you two wait for me and see how I deal with you in the future. "Who knows that as soon as they said this, the brother and sister immediately burst into tears and shouted pitifully: "Mom, aunt (aunt), uncle.  (Dad) is bullying people" Hearing these two sentences, Wang Zhijiang was frightened out of his mind.  He put down the things in his hands and wanted to run out. Who knew that the two women were faster. The next moment, they hurriedly opened the door and shouted at Wang Zhijiang, saying that Wang Zhijiang was completely naked.  Mr. Wang Yunhai stood at the gate and watched everything with a smile.  As for Zhou Dingguo, he felt cold behind his back, and felt deeply sad for his brother-in-law: He has done his own evil, and there are these two tigresses protecting the calf.  The consequences of offending one of the children are scary enough, let alone offending two at the same time?  Isn¡¯t this because I feel impatient with my long life?  Seeing that Party Secretary Wang¡¯s arrogance was knocked down.  The two unscrupulous young people laughed heartily. The brother and sister were chatting happily while pasting Spring Festival couplets.  The two fathers who were doing the trick below were shaking their heads and sighing.  The sound of firecrackers gradually dissipated, leaving only sporadic sounds. This should be the children taking apart the firecrackers and setting them off individually. After Zhou Yu and his father pasted their own Spring Festival couplets with the characters "Fu" and the colors on them, they went to their uncle's house to help  The second floor is also finished.  It was already past nine o'clock, and the aroma of meat was coming from the kitchens of the two houses. Zhou Yu was planning to go home with his sister to eat some deboned meat, when he saw his grandfather and his third uncle carrying a wide roll between them.  Something came in.  "Hey, uncle is here, come in and sit down." Wang Yunhai, who was walking in the yard, said with a smile.  "Okay, come into the house, let's go in and chat." After saying that, the old lady led everyone into the house.  "Grandpa, could it be that Huzi smelled the aroma of our meat and tricked you all into eating meat? This guy's nose is really better than a dog's." As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Yu began to bury the people.  .  "Tch, you have a dog's nose. Brother Ergou, don't be dissatisfied. We are lucky. We can meet delicious food as soon as we arrive at my second uncle's house. Do you think it's evil or not?" Zhou Hu flipped through the pages.  White eyes airway.  Who would have thought that as soon as the boy finished speaking, he was slapped by the old man. The old man was unhappy and said with a black face: "I said, San Donkey, do you know what day it is today and you are just talking nonsense? Today is New Year's Eve."  "What's wrong? You're not allowed to say anything unlucky." "Hey~ I understand, just promise not to say anything unlucky again." Zhou Hu said with a sad face.  Looking at Hu Zi¡¯s big pancake, his face was as red as a monkey¡¯s ass. Zhou Yu and Shanshan next to him were almost dying of laughter. Zhou Hu didn¡¯t dare to be arrogant at the moment, but just said fiercely.??glaring at the gloating brother and sister.  But how could Shanshan fall for his tricks?  First, he opened his mouth and spit out a sweet tongue to treat him, and then he hugged the old man's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, look at Brother Huzi, he is here to scare me, oh my heart is still pounding right now.  ¡± The old man who had a serious face just now immediately smiled and showed a look of love when he heard Shanshan¡¯s voice. However, after hearing what Shanshan said, his face darkened again and he looked at Zhou Hu angrily.  He said: "I said, San Donkey, you have some potential, okay? If you have the ability to use it on outsiders, and show off your power to your own sister, then you are a complete loser. Let me tell you, if you scare Shanshan again, don't say I will slap you."  " Zhou Hu almost cried. After all, the old man has been shrewd all his life, so why can't he see that this girl is pretending to be pitiful?  Bully her yourself?  Wouldn't it be better to say this the other way around?  "But a tiger is a tiger after all, but he is far more thoughtful than Wang Zhijiang. He knows that a good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss, so he responded calmly twice and then stopped talking.  At this time Zhou Dingguo spoke, "Third brother, what's wrong with you and me coming here? Have you hung up the Spring Festival couplets and the family tree to worship your ancestors?" "Oh. The Spring Festival couplets have been put up, and grandpa said you want to buy a new house.  The place is big enough. I plan to worship at your place this year. I'll bring this genealogy as well." Zhou Dingguo nodded and thought to himself.  There are more than a hundred people named Zhou in Zhoujia Village.  Since the Taigong is the oldest and the clan leader, the family tree is in charge of the Taigong. Every year on the eve of the New Year, other branches come to worship their ancestors.  In the past, we stayed at Lao San¡¯s house. Due to the limited space, it was really crowded and crowded, and it was really hard to fit in.  Since my house is a newly built house, the outbuilding is big enough that twenty or thirty people can kneel down when they come at once, so it is quite appropriate to enshrine the family tree in my house.  Next, the two men cleaned the north wall of the outhouse. Brother Zhou Yu went to Zhou Dingbang¡¯s house and brought over the offering table, the tributes made by the third aunt, as well as incense and candles.  After some arrangement, I finally got the genealogy done.  At this time, another group of people came to the house, led by Wu Laoer and Shui Sheng, followed by young people in their teens and twenties.  After these young people posted the Spring Festival couplets at home with the word "Fu", they were sent by the adults at home to help Zhou Yu go to Fenghuang Mountain to post the Spring Festival couplets.  Wang Guilan said with emotion: "Xiaoyu, look at how nice your aunts and ladies are? Everyone remembers that you have many houses in Fenghuang Mountain that have Spring Festival couplets posted, but you don't know it." After finishing speaking, he said to  Wu Laoer and others said to Shui Sheng: "Thank you parents for me when you go home. You will come back after you finish working on the mountain. Second Auntie is eating pig bones today. They all come over to eat the deboned meat.  It¡¯s delicious.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a must. Second Aunt, I just like this. Leave some for me. By the way, I¡¯ll bring two bottles of wine for my second uncle to try when I get home.¡±  I feel like I¡¯m going to be lucky this year, and I¡¯m sure this wine will be a success,¡± Wu Laoer said with a smile.  Hu Zi curled his lips, if this guy could make wine, sows could climb trees.  Seeing that it was getting late, he grabbed Wu Laoer and pulled him out.  A group of young people happily got into the car and drove towards Phoenix Mountain.  After all, there is strength in numbers. With the help of everyone, the Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters and colors for the six villas were all posted before half past ten.  Afterwards, Zhou Yu personally presented a jar of fine chrysanthemum wine and a small box of big cherries, which made the brothers smile with joy.  Wu Laoer even said with a shy face: "Er Gouzi, don't forget to let me know if you have any work in the future. I promise to be on call. The benefits of working for you are incredible. Hehe."  "It's necessary. Second brother, Shuisheng brother and all younger brothers, you can come to my place to play when you have nothing to do in the future, except for you who go to school. You still have to study first. Second brother is here to give you a  Promise, if everyone gets admitted to university, they will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan." Zhou Yu said with a smile.  Those young people in high school were overjoyed after hearing Zhou Yu's words. They were all secretly gearing up, planning to devote themselves to studying immediately after the New Year, and they were bound to win the ten thousand yuan.  Next, Zhou Yu asked Huzi to send the brothers back, and he went to the mountain and collected all the animals except Huahua¡¯s family into the space, including the small eagles and diamond eagles flying in the air, as well as the big eagle and the small eagle.  At this point, in addition to the flowers, plants and trees all over Phoenix Mountain, only Huahua's family and more than 200 large wild boars at the foot of the mountain are left.  It was nearly eleven o'clock when Zhou Yu went to the mountain. He saw that the village was completely different from when he came back in the morning. Every household had Spring Festival couplets with the characters "Fu" and the colorful characters on them, and the long wooden poles erected in the yard were also hung with  There were bright red lanterns.  It can be said that Zhoujia Village now has the same color, brilliant red, brilliant red, and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.   Zhou Yu was a little hungry before he even arrived at the door. You must know that he hasn't eaten anything since he was so busy in the morning.  So Zhou Yu speeded up the car and arrived at the door of his house in just a short while.  The sunshine at noon is warm on the body. God is really kind to me on New Year's Eve this year. The weather is very good.  The lunch meal was relatively simple, so the two families ate together to save trouble.  The stewed vermicelli with pickled cabbage and pork was cooked in a large pot, while some steamed buns and bean buns were also heated.  I steamed a dragon carp in a small pot, then fried a piece of garlic in the frying spoon on the liquefied gas tank and stewed a piece of ribs and frozen tofu.  Of course, there is also a large basin of deboned meat that has been torn off the bones long ago and dipped in garlic sauce.  There are not many styles of dishes but they are absolutely authentic. Wang Yunhai and his son and son-in-law both drank a little wine. Shanshan went up to Zhou Yu and kept eating meat for him, while she kept eating the red meat.  Big dragon carp.  In the Northeast, midday meal on the 30th of the Gada New Year is not important.  With so much to do, most families simply deal with it.  What really matters is the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner in the evening.  This is the most important meal of the year. It should be said that every household pours all the harvest and joy of this year into this New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.  They will carefully prepare this year-end meal.  After lunch, the third aunt came over to help. The two families always ate the New Year's Eve dinner together in the evening, and then began to invite gods and worship ancestors. These are big jobs, and one person can't handle them all.  Come, so every year the two sisters work together.  As for Wang Zhijiang¡¯s family, they all went back to their homes to get busy after lunch.  No matter how good the two families are, they still have two surnames and two ancestors. They cannot have New Year's Eve dinner together and invite gods and ancestors.  According to old tradition, an important activity on New Year¡¯s Eve in Northeast China is ancestor worship. This activity cannot be said to be ¡°feudal superstition.¡±  In the past it was an agricultural society.  The common people can only dig food from the land with their hands. The more people there are, the better it can ensure that the whole family lives well and has enough food and clothing.  Therefore, prosperity and family harmony are very important.  The common people remember and worship their ancestors on the most important day of the year, which not only expresses their gratitude and respect to their ancestors, but also tells their ancestors that they have successors.  Therefore, there is a strong emotion involved in worshiping ancestors on New Year¡¯s Eve.  In addition to worshiping ancestors, we also need to receive gods.  Legend has it that on this night, the gods in the sky will descend to the lower world, and the Kitchen God who ascended to heaven on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month will also come back today.  So people would set up an offering table and light a fire outside the house to welcome the arrival of the gods, and at the same time, they could also bless their family with peace and good weather in the coming year In the afternoon, Zhou Yu was called away by Hu Zi, and the two brothers went together.  He sneaked out of the house, got in the car, and ran towards Taiping Town.  Sitting in the car, Zhou Hu said excitedly: "Brother Ergou. We have made a lot of money this year. The fireworks tonight cannot be bad. The more fireworks we set off, the more prosperous we will be in the coming year. By the way, you still remember  Is it the oath we made when we were kids?" Zhou Yu smiled with emotion.  "Why don't you remember? I will never forget it in my life." I remember that when I was a child, every Chinese New Year came, because there was no spare money at that time, my father and my third uncle had to take care of the lonely elderly people.  So the two elder brothers could only buy two small whips for the younger brothers at most.  As for the flying monkeys and fireworks, don't even think about them.  But at that time, there were not many types of firecrackers. There were red and green firecrackers.  Fifty ring, one hundred ring, two hundred ring, three hundred ring, most of them have no wrapping paper.  The rows look very tempting.  Of course, there are also those that ring thousands of times, and those that ring ten times and make a ding.  My brothers can¡¯t afford it, but other people¡¯s children still have several kinds.  In addition, both of them are boys, so they are very jealous of this, but no matter how they beg their parents, the answer they get is that they have no money.  The little whip was not enough, so the two brothers untied the strings of hundreds of small whips and lit them one by one, throwing them away.  Sometimes the two brothers would run over to pick up the unexploded whip that someone else had let go, break it off, expose the gunpowder, light it with incense, hold it in their hands and watch it spit out fire, and they were so happy.  .  Finally one year during the Chinese New Year, the two brothers couldn't resist the temptation and each stole five yuan from home. They bought some red earth, two kickers and fireworks and had a lot of fun. However, it was not past twelve o'clock that night.  The adults discovered it, and after asking, they found out that these two children had actually stolen money to buy firecrackers. Oh, the two brothers received such a beating. They didn't dare to sit on the kang on the first day of the new year.  From then on, the two brothers made a vow that when they grew up and made a lot of money, they would spend a huge amount of money to buy countless firecrackers and let him stay overnight comfortably.  So on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Huzi went to the firecracker outlet in the town to check it out, and when he came back, he talked about it with Zhou Yu.  But at that time, because I was afraid of buying too much, the old man felt sorry for the money.?I returned it myself, so I rushed to buy it on the afternoon of New Year's Eve.  When you buy it back, it will be ready to eat, and it will be too late to return it.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! ps: I have to say that it is difficult to write about the customs of the year, and it is uploaded a little late.
