    After the ancestor worship was completed, the sound of firecrackers in the village was still continuous and deafening.  Driven by this cheerful and lively atmosphere, the old lady finally showed a smile on her face, and started talking and laughing with her two great-grandsons again.  At this time, the steaming dumplings have been cooked. Before catching the dumplings, Zhou Dingguo, a member of the family, stood in the outer room and shouted cheerfully: "Did you make the dumplings?" Everyone should agree, "Earn them!" (meaning new one)  Make money every year).  Then Zhou Dingguo shouted again: "Is the day up?" The whole family replied at the same time: "It's up!" After completing this ceremony, the two women started fishing for dumplings with a smile.  After putting two small bowls of dumplings on the altar table, the whole family sat on the big Kang and started eating the hot dumplings.  This dumpling is not just a dumpling to please the gods, because its shape is similar to an ingot, so eating the dumplings is equivalent to "looking for ingots" in the New Year.  Huzi is a lucky guy. He got a sugar-wrapped dumpling on his first dumpling. Wang Guilan said with a smile that his life in the coming year will be sweet.  Not long after, the old lady ate a dumpling with rice cake, which made everyone very happy. Eating a dumpling with rice cake is a symbol of good fortune and longevity.  Zhou Yu discovered an interesting phenomenon while eating. When his parents and uncle and aunt were eating dumplings, they always picked them up with chopsticks first, and then picked them up and ate them when they felt soft.  So Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing. These four elders were so interesting. He was so cautious because he was afraid that he would eat the dumplings containing blessings.  Give this wonderful blessing to the elderly and children with all your heart.  Who is that old lady?  Looking at the two grandsons and granddaughter-in-law, he said with a smile: "I said you four don't have to do this, right? I'm tired of trying them all. What the hell, I want to let the three of us eat all the good things.  Ah? What should you do? We are a family. What's the use of just being well? " "Haha, Master, we have you and Huzi and Xiaoyu below. As long as you are healthy and live long,  Our children have a successful career and live a happy and harmonious life. Isn¡¯t that our blessing? So it¡¯s best for you to eat these good things.¡± The old lady nodded.  No longer trying to persuade him, he happily picked up a dumpling and ate it again.  The whole family laughed and started eating.  What Wang Guilan said seemed to be heard by the gods who came here. It was very magical. In the evening, almost all the dumplings containing rice cakes were eaten by Grandpa, while almost all the dumplings containing money and candies were eaten by Brother Zhou Yu.  They both ate.  Although Zhou Dingguo and Zhou Dingbang didn't eat anything.  But seeing the smiles on their faces is definitely more satisfying than eating.  After the family finished eating the Jingshen dumplings, which symbolize reunion.  It was almost eleven o'clock. At this time, Wang Yunhai and Wang Zhijiang's family came over to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.  The family members surnamed Zhou in the village began to come over to worship their ancestors one after another. Usually the three generations, old, middle and young, came at the same time. After offering incense and kowtow to the ancestors in the outhouse, they came to the big house to kowtow to the grandpa and pay New Year greetings. Then everyone sat down  There was cheerful chatter in the room.  Wang Guilan and Third Aunt hurriedly cut the watermelon and washed the big cherries. Since there were so many people, they simply didn¡¯t pay too much attention and put them directly into the big basin and served them.  The big watermelons and cherries around the Chinese New Year are really good things.  Who can afford this?  Seeing the upper end of the pots at the owner's house, everyone knew that these were grown by Ergouzi.  Without being polite, I picked up a big cold watermelon and started eating it.  Nearly everyone came here after eating the Jingshen dumplings at home. After eating such a piece of dry and cool watermelon, I felt so comfortable and the atmosphere in the room became even more intense.  Big cherries are the children's favorite. Seeing the children focusing on the big cherries, Wang Guilan smiled and came to the back room with a stack of plastic bags. She grabbed the big cherries from the basket and put them into the plastic bags.  I went back to the big house with bags of big cherries and gave each child a bag. The little ones were so happy that they called the second aunt or the second grandma.  The crowd came in waves and sat there for a while, and then came again. There was no time to stop the flow. It was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the crowd gradually decreased.  After Zhou Zhihui finished kowtowing to the Taigong, he hurriedly entered the house. Before he could even eat the big watermelon, he hurriedly said to Zhou Yu and Zhou Hu: "I said there are two dogs and three donkeys. The courtyard is crowded now."  People, when are you two going to set off fireworks? Don't tell me that you two brats are trying to trick people?" Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Eight, how dare you say that we two are nothing?  You can¡¯t fool the whole village just because of the Chinese New Year, right? We were on the phone just now to say New Year greetings, and now that it¡¯s over, we¡¯ll leave right away.¡±   Zhou Yu told the truth. Seeing that it was almost midnight, he started calling to say New Year greetings. First, his girlfriend and soon-to-be father-in-law, mother-in-law, then Qingqing¡¯s grandparents, second uncle, second aunt, and some others such as  Good business friends like Liu Yunfei, Guo Yunliang and Zhang Qiang's family.  Then there are my former colleagues and good buddies with whom I got along well in college. This visit lasted almost half an hour. ??????????????????????????????????? After I¡¯ve finished my New Year¡¯s greetings, Qingqing¡¯s family and those friends will have to pay their own New Year¡¯s greetings to my parents, so isn¡¯t it almost 12 o¡¯clock when this time comes?  It's no wonder that Zhou Defi is anxious.  Hearing what Zhou Yu said, everyone ignored their chatter and all put on thick cotton-padded jackets and followed the two brothers out of the house and rushed to the courtyard.  At this time, the sound of firecrackers in the village has almost stopped, and the red lanterns in every household are still hung high. The sky is pitch black, and the red air is filled with the strong smell of firecrackers.  When everyone walked quickly to the courtyard, they found that the huge courtyard was already crowded with people. Everyone was chatting happily. They stopped when they saw Zhou Yu and brother Zhou Yu, and kept urging them to set off fireworks and fireworks.  salute.  The two brothers did not dare to neglect, and led a few young people into the small warehouse and moved out all the fireworks and salutes they bought in the afternoon.  What a guy, it occupies a large area of ??the courtyard.  Looking at the piles of fireworks that I have never seen in my life.  Liu Taigong asked loudly: "Er Gouzi, are these firecrackers like those seen on TV that can shoot out big flowers when they rise to the sky? I said, this costs a lot of money, right?" "Liu Taigong. You  You're right, these are the kind of things you see on TV, called fireworks. The total of these is 100,000 yuan. My brother Ergou has a good harvest this year. I bought it specially to thank my fellow villagers.  These things make everyone happy, and you will have to keep your eyes wide open later, I tell you, this thing is really good," Zhou Hu said half-seriously.  The crowd is excited. These are fireworks costing 100,000 yuan. It¡¯s a must-see.  But Ergouzi is so atmospheric.  The brothers first held six or seven fireworks and placed them in the middle of the courtyard. The younger brothers excitedly lit the fuses of the fireworks "Bang" Six or seven fireworks shot straight into the sky, and grains of gold sand shot out.  Blooming proudly in the sky.  Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.  Everything is available.  The bright purples and reds decorate the night sky beautifully and gracefully, and illuminate the earth as if it were daytime.  The fireworks rising up and blooming in the sky are sometimes like golden chrysanthemums blooming and peonies in full bloom; sometimes they are like butterflies fluttering and giant dragons flying; sometimes they are like fire trees and rainbows dancing wildly; sometimes they are like the nine-sky jade girl dancing and falling into the sky, like plum blossoms.  Exquisite, gorgeous petals.  The night sky is like a colorful garden, the colorful fireworks are as dazzling as crystal stones, and the colorful fireworks are as gorgeous as colorful silk.  The ever-changing fireworks gracefully unfolded smiling faces of light yellow, silvery white, washed green, lavender, clear blue and pink.  So beautiful.  Huge fireworks bloomed in the sky, and petals were like rain.  They fell one after another, and people seemed to be within reach When the fireworks exploded in the silent night sky, blooming with colorful beauty, the villagers applauded excitedly, but they still stared at the sky without blinking, for fear of missing this wonderful event.  At that moment, even my hands turned red without knowing it.  The people in the village were all dumbfounded. What they saw on TV and what they saw in real life were definitely two different things. It was simply too beautiful.  The person who set off the fireworks was even more excited. Without waiting for Zhou Hu's arrangement, after setting off the fireworks in his hand, he hurried over and picked up two more and lit them. The mood was absolutely awesome.  ¡°Bang!¡± Another big red fireball rose from the ground.  It flew into the air, and with a "pop" sound, it turned into thousands of small sparks and splashed away, dragging its long, shining tail and falling slowly, like a flying butterfly, spinning down from the sky; and as if it was blown by the wind.  Blowing dandelions.  Before the last small spark disappeared, bunches of dazzling light flew up into the sky again, "Pap bang" The bunches of light suddenly exploded, golden, silver, red, green, and blue.  , star-like flowers flew around, like shining chrysanthemums, dazzling.  "Everything!" "Chichichi!" One by one, the colorful flames lit up, dragging their long tails, scrambling to be the first, and leaping up into the night sky one after another; "Goddess Scattering Flowers" and "Peacocks Spreading Their Tails" appeared in the sky.  ", "Cannons hitting the sky full of stars" "There are a lot of fireworks worth 100,000 yuan, but there are so many people who can't stand them?  At first, there were only seven or eight people, but everyone went crazy, especially the guys in their twenties and thirties. They all wanted to experience it for themselves, so they rushed over and picked them up.  The two of them went to the middle of the courtyard and started releasing them one by one happily.  The folks in Zhoujia Village areIt was a great time to enjoy the fireworks feast. We had never seen fireworks in full bloom at close range. It was really eye-opening and endlessly enjoyable.  There are many types of fireworks set off in the later period, including red, yellow, green, lavender, pink sometimes they are full of flowers, sometimes they just splash dark golden rain, and sometimes there is a moment.  For a moment, the sky was as bright as day, followed by countless oncoming stars, and then quickly disappeared, with a gorgeous curtain call Zhou Hu was really anxious, seeing that so many fireworks were about to be snatched up by a large group of people, this  The guy quickly picked up the four vertical buckets and quietly put them aside and hid them. He waited until the fireworks were almost finished before taking them out and lighting them.  "Bang, bang" After four loud noises, four small warm red round lights appeared in the sky. Unlike other fireworks, these four small round lights swayed in the sky for a long time without dissipating.  .  Wu Laoer was so excited that he ran over and said to Zhou Hu: "Three donkeys, what did you let go just now? Didn't you hit a star into the sky?" Zhou Hu said fiercely  He glared at Wu Laoer, this guy had the most fun tonight.  He set off more fireworks than himself, so this guy could set off at least more than 10,000 yuan worth of fireworks.  So he said angrily: "Wu Laoer, Wu Laoer, even a kid knows how to fight for fireworks. Don't you even know this thing? Listen carefully. This thing is called a signal light. It can float in the sky for a long time without falling.  If you use this thing to illuminate it, you will definitely not fall into the manure pit when you go to the latrine at night." "Hahaha" The villagers around burst into laughter.  After setting off the fireworks, everyone went home to watch the New Year, laughing and joking. It was already past twelve o'clock and the New Year had entered.  When Zhou Yu stayed up late at night, he went to the space to take a look at his animals. After such a long time of getting along with each other, Zhou Yu went to the space to look at his animals.  Zhou Yu has regarded them as friends, so on this New Year's Eve, Zhou Yu also wants them to improve their food.  Cooked and raw pheasant meals and hare meat have been prepared in the space.  Moreover, Zhou Yu also brought out good things such as large watermelon and rhodiola rosea for them to enjoy.  All the animals in the space also had a happy New Year.  Although there is a saying in Taiping Town that "if you stay up all night on the 30th, you will be able to leave on the first day of the new year." However, Zhou Yu couldn't hold on until about three o'clock in the middle of the night, leaving Huzi and his father behind.  My mother returned to the back room and fell asleep with her grandfather.  The sound of firecrackers on the morning of New Year¡¯s Day is still coming and going.  In particular, Zhoujiacun is still located in a terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides.  Therefore, the sound of firecrackers was even more ridiculous. If he could still fall asleep at this time, he would be too nervous.  Helplessly, Zhou Yu yawned and got up.  The family got up early. Dad was lighting a fire in the stove pit. Mom's dumplings were almost ready. Grandpa was scalding wine on the stove with a small glass jug.  "Hey Xiaoyu, are you finally up? I wanted to finish cooking the dumplings and then go to the back room to call you. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there will be a lot of people coming to my house to pay New Year's greetings. I'm also afraid that you will be beaten by others.  I'm stuck under the quilt. By the way, go get a plate of whips from the floor in the inner room and put them out. Look, everyone in the neighborhood has finished using them. It's the first day of the new year for us.  What a blessing." Wang Guilan urged while cooking dumplings when she saw her son coming out.  Zhou Yu agreed, fetched firecrackers, set them off in the courtyard, and then began to wash up.  After eating the dumplings later, I have to go out to pay New Year greetings.  Breakfast is mainly about eating dumplings. The big dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork are so delicious that you can bite into them with a packet of meat.  Since the grandfather wanted to drink, Wang Guilan heated up some of last night's dragon carp and other leftovers, and then put a plate of pig's trotters jelly that had been cooked yesterday morning and brought it to the table. The family happily ate it.  breakfast.  While eating, Zhou Yu asked: "By the way, dad, didn't Huzi stay at our house last night to stay with the grandpa? I remember that this kid was still there before I went to bed, but why was he missing so early in the morning?"  "Haha, Xiaoyu, Huzi has important activities today. He went home and slept last night." Zhou Dingguo said with a smile.  "Ah? What important activities can he have during the Chinese New Year?" Zhou Yu really didn't believe it and asked casually.  "Why are there no important activities during the Chinese New Year? Hu Zi has been coming back every day since he was in his twenties to rehearse stilt walking and Yangko dancing with Uncle Zhang and Da Kui. You don't know that our village has always had this habit.  "Hahaha, Hu Zi can walk on stilts? I haven't seen him do it, but Uncle Kui, Uncle Zhang and my eighth uncle are good stilt walkers. I haven't seen him in a few years."  "I really miss it." "Hahaha, that's right, but Huzi's stilt walking skills are still there.It's great. This kid has a few exaggerated moves every year, and I don't know who he learned them from.  But Xiaoyu, you are quite famous in our village now, and you also have money. I guess the stilt team and yangko team will come to our house to walk a few laps later, and you will have to reward them.  " Zhou Yu knows this custom. When his village was poor, there was a stilt team and a yangko team. After performing in this village, they would go to other villages to perform, specifically at the gates of famous people in other villages. At this time, the host  You must give a reward. It was only 500 yuan at that time. Although the money was not much, everyone could still make some extra money. After eating the dumplings, Zhou Yu went back to the back room and took out a thick stack of money. Look.  That amounted to 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Zhou Yu had prepared a total of 200,000 yuan in cash for this Chinese New Year. He was considered a wealthy man now. Isn't the Chinese New Year just for fun? So he had to spend it.  Seeing Zhou Yu take out such a pile of money, the three elders were obviously shocked. Zhou Dingguo asked in surprise: "Xiao Yu, what are you doing with so much money?  " "Oh dad, what do you think I can do with my money during the Chinese New Year?  Of course it was given as a gift.  Didn't you say that the Yangko team and the stilt team can come to our house later?  We can't afford to give less to the fellow villagers when they give us so much face. ??????????????????????????????? There will be a lot of people coming over to pay New Year¡¯s greetings to my great-grandfather later, and if they have children, they will all give them New Year¡¯s money today.  There are a total of 40,000 here, of which 10,000 will be reserved for Grandpa to give to the children as lucky money later, and the remaining 30,000 will be given to the stilt team and the Yangko team.  Tell them not to go to other villages and perform in the village today so that everyone can have fun.  " " Are all the children given lucky money?  It's really new, but since you kid has such an idea, let's give it to you. By the way, I, an old man, have never given new year's money to children.  In the past, when we were poor, we really had no money to give. Now that we have a child, we will be brave and give one hundred to the child.  Hahaha" The old lady was so happy that she held the 10,000 yuan in her hand while joking, and then counted them one by one. As for Zhou Yu, he took out 30,000 yuan to cover the Yangko team and the stilt team for a day.  Everyone has no objection to this matter. Zhou Yu has paid so much for the villagers this year, so why would he care about the 30,000 yuan? What's more, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so everyone is having fun.  Everything is important. So Zhou Dingguo excitedly collected the 30,000 yuan, preparing to show off later. At this time, Wang Guilan took out a few big tickets from the closet and said to Zhou Yu with a smile.  Yu, this is the New Year's money given to you by your father and I. Although you have money, you have to keep this New Year's money in your pocket. It will bless you that you will not be short of money to spend this year.  Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, grinned and said, "Mom, I'm so old, can I just forget about the new year's money?"  "    "How old are you?  Tell me how old you are?  Besides, as long as you are still a child before you get married, your mother will have to give you lucky money.  "Zhou Yu had no choice but to take the five hundred yuan and put it into his trouser pocket under the laughing eyes of his grandfather and father. After a while, people at home came over to pay New Year's greetings one after another. The voice of "Happy New Year" came from the yard.  He kept shouting all the way home. After staying at home for a while, Zhou Yu had to go out to pay New Year greetings. In addition to the seven grandfathers, there were also many grandfathers from his family in the village. Zhou Yu¡¯s uncles and uncles also had to go home, so this time  The morning was really not easy. The first place Zhou Yu went to was his uncle's house. After paying New Year's greetings to his grandfather and uncle and aunt, the brother and sister also said hello to each other. The aunt gave her nephew five hundred yuan.  Zhou Yu accepted the experience in the morning with a smile, and then took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket and gave it to his sister. This 10,000 yuan was too much New Year's money, and Wang Zhijiang's family refused to take it, but how could these people be.  Zhou Yu¡¯s opponent? After much talk, his uncle and aunt stopped talking. Zhou Yu winked at his sister proudly and continued to pay New Year greetings. The second stop for New Year greetings was naturally his third uncle¡¯s house, but he arrived at his third uncle¡¯s house.  It was only after we got home that we found out that the third aunt was alone at home. The third uncle and Huzi went out after eating dumplings in the morning. They said they were busy with stilt walking and the yangko troupe. The weather was good today, with a cloudless sky and a bright sun.  The wind is not strong, and the village roads are full of people. Old men of the family in twos and threes are with their children, and young people are with young people. They are all dressed neatly and neatly, going to different houses with a smile.  Happy New Year. Zhou Yu smiled and wished everyone a happy New Year, but he met so many people that his voice was hoarse when he arrived at the Fifth Master¡¯s house.  When Zhou Yu was like this, he quickly poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat. "Oh, Ergouzi, why did you come out to pay New Year's greetings?  Didn't you go on stilts with Huzi Wu Laoer and the others?  I see that almost all the young people in their twenties in the village have gone.  ?Aunt Six asked enthusiastically.  "Sixth Aunt, how can I do that? I've been outside all these years, but unlike Huzi and Wu Laoer, they can still practice at home. By the way, when will their performance start?" Zhou Yu said with a smile.  .  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
