There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

New Year’s Eve is a reunion day for thousands of families, and this year’s New Year’s Eve has become a reunion festival for the whole village.

On the day when the old leader killed the pig, he had already planned to spend a good year this year. He was going to be unlucky, hoping for a good harvest in the coming year, and specially left a pig for the New Year's Eve.

In the public canteen of Zhangjia Village, many daughters-in-law in the village began to be busy in the kitchen.One by one they showed their unique tricks and decided to gather the elbow, carp, ribs, and chicken in the four must-have items.If the knuckles are not enough, use the trotters to make up, the hen chops into small pieces and adds more mushrooms, and the ribs do not add more carrots.

A burst of scent wafted out, making all the children in the village surrounded by sniffing and reluctant to leave, waiting eagerly for dark.

The old captain took a long pipe and turned around the village, smelling the fragrance in the air, he nodded in satisfaction.But I was thinking that the dumplings will be ordered late tonight, so let everyone fill their stomachs with some oil, otherwise it's not enough for everyone to eat.There are not too many beanbags and steamed buns for the children, but adults just make do with Wowotou.

Looking at a group of drooling children in front of him, he raised his head and looked back. He slowly walked out of the canteen. This important event of ancestor worship had to be discussed with the old patriarch and the others.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and today is a new year.Everyone in Zhangjia Village couldn't realize the sorrow of the old captain. Every family was happy to post New Year pictures, door couplets, hanging money, and window papers, how to celebrate.

Zhou Jiao was even more happy.At this moment, she happily pinched a piece of red paper that was "full of grain" and pasted it on the grain store, watching the empty inside, and ingeniously put a basket of five-color mixed grains inside.The "safe in and out" on the bicycle, and the "full of eggs" on the chicken coop, she posted as much as she could think of.

Standing in the yard, Zhou Jiao looked at the red blessing on the wall and door, the red paper on the window, and then looked at her son who was dressed in red playing in the snow in the yard-this strong flavor of the year With joy.

Zhang Guoqing came out of the kitchen and smiled knowingly at Zhou Jiao who was in bloom.

"Son, don't play. Let's pack up and go to the old courtyard."

Ping An happily fell on him when he saw him.

Zhang Guoqing happily hugged his son around a few times, hugged his wife, and walked to the living room, "I will go to the village to have a New Year's dinner tonight. Do we want to bring things there?"

"I'll ask my parents later and see what the boss and two families do. Let's add some more according to their gifts, don't be out of the ordinary. I really don't have to accompany my parents to watch the night tonight?"

"I always feel that something is wrong if I don't watch the night at home during the Chinese New Year. Wait a minute and ask if my parents want to come over, and forget it. The old captain of the village also asked everyone to eat the New Year's Eve dinner early, and each family brought a bowl of dumplings back to the night watch."

Zhou Jiao mentioned the new clothes and four-color gifts prepared for Zhang's father and mother, and smiled: "We are not in the old courtyard at night. It is estimated that they will come to our house. Let's go and see."

"Have you given your parents their New Year's Eve wallet?"

"It's packaged, nine yuan per person. Take the meaning of immortality, should it be matched with old age and longevity?"

Zhang Guoqing was hesitant to see her blinking, and rubbed her head, "Very good, just right."

Zhou Jiao said triumphantly: "In addition to this, I also prepared ten yuan of new banknotes for my mother, ranging from one cent to one dime, and reserved for her new year's money for the first month."

Zhang Guoqing wiped the child's face, smeared Harry oil, picked him up, and smiled: "Well, it's good. Let the mother see who is comfortable and give it a dime, and whoever is not pleasing to the eye."

The couple took their children to the old courtyard slowly.

Before reaching the hall, I heard Zhang Lao Er's laughter.

"No, if Cao Cao is here, Cao Cao is here. Xiaowu, you and your couple are just here. I gave my parents the lucky money, but they didn't want it."

"Mother, you hold it with your father. Please be happy, happy new year, squeeze the age, bless you two elders to live forever." Zhou Jiao finished, put the things down and took the child.

Mother Zhang shook her head with a smile, "I will give it to my parents when they are old, no need now."

Zhou Jiao saw that except for Zhang Lao Er, everyone else was not there, "Brothers are filial to you and dad, you happily accept it.

After finishing talking, Zhou Jiao turned his pockets towards Zhang Guoqing and went out to the kitchen.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Guoqing touched his pocket, smiled and put it on the kang Ping An, took out a bundle of new banknotes and two red envelopes from his pocket, and pushed them along with gifts to Zhang mother.

"Why Xiaowu?"

"Mother, don't push around. You didn't even look Jiaojiao scared away. She went to the bank to exchange the new money for you with the new money. Those two red envelopes are auspicious, they don't have much money, you and dad keep them. "

Father Zhang reached out and picked up a bundle of money, and handed it to his wife with a smile, "Take it, this is quite rare to give kids New Year money. You go back to your mother's house with this one in the first month."

Zhang Lao Er joked, "Mother, you go to your uncle's house and give more if you see who is pleasing to your eyes. If you don't have it, ask Xiao Wu and the others. Xiao Wu, why do you think of changing money without notifying me?"

Zhang Guoqing smiled and did not answer.Zhou Jiao didn't deliberately change the banknotes, but just happened to receive the lucky money from those relatives in the capital and went to the post office to withdraw the money.

He is not easy to say this.His son's New Year's Eve money still has more to his father-in-law. If it weren't for the fear that the tree will attract the wind, it might frighten the people in the county post office.

Zhang Guoqing changed the subject and asked what gifts his family brought to the village tonight.Otherwise, so many people used to be really ugly.

Mother Zhang laughed.She had prepared rations and delivered them to the village early, and the stupid boy had forgotten that she had donated old sows and many chickens.

The bell rang early for dinner, and Zhang Dad led a large family to the cafeteria.

At this time, the canteen is extremely lively, as in previous years, the ancestor worship ceremony.

Dozens of tables are squeezed together, and each table is placed with four big pieces, elbow and hoof chowder, braised carp, pork ribs stewed radish, hen and mushroom soup, pork stewed noodles with sauerkraut, and ground three fresh vegetables.

The rare and hearty New Year’s Eve dinner makes people forget their sorrows, and men, women and children smile with joy.Even if the ribs stewed with radishes are filled with radishes, even if there are only one or two pieces of meat in the hen stewed mushrooms, even if the braised carp cannot be started for the sake of figurative purposes, it still can't stop everyone from the joy of the New Year.

The only remaining jar of wine in the village honors the elders who served on the table.The noisy young man pours hot water as wine and makes fun in bitterness.

The aunts working in the kitchen carried out several wooden trays, which contained the staple food Wowotou and tortillas.Adults have five wowotou and two tortillas; children have two wowotou and two tortillas.Fortunately, the polenta is full at night, and it's finally a little festive.

The happiest thing is that the children have an extra steamed bun and two sticky bean bags.

All of a sudden, the children scrambled to shout for fear of missing it.The anxious appearance caused people around to laugh.

I really want Zhou Jiao to say that this is not as good as the previous pig-killing dishes.But everyone's picture is happiness, the picture is reunion, and the picture is the fun of the New Year.

The encirclement hunting in Zhangjia Village years ago had an advantage. Compared with other places, the people who backed by the mountain would not be too short of oil and water.Therefore, we will try our best to put all the meat and bones on the table for the children to eat.

No one is willing to reach in.Even some of the best products in the village will not risk the world's disgrace this day, causing everyone to be disgusted.

This day is a children’s holiday, and a reunion day for the elders to guard their children and grandchildren for thousands of years.

There are elders in the family, save a bite of meat, and look at their children and grandchildren happily. Isn't it a kind of love?
