Chapter 217

The adults all laughed, but they all knew in their hearts that things like relatives had to be good, otherwise it would be better not to have any contact with each other.

It is important to get together, to connect and connect with each other.

The fried lotus root box made by Aunt Quan brought everyone together again.

Talking and laughing so happy.

And in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the New Year's Eve.

*
Song Dongling still got up very early in the morning, the days seemed to be the same but not quite the same, she was busy with work when she got up early today, and she didn't have time to relax.

Grandma Song was earlier, and early in the morning, she took the allocated sacrifices, such as chicken, duck and fish, pork belly strips, tea, wine, etc.

Bring some incense candles and set out to worship with a small basket.

Song Dongling stayed at home, washed up first, and then ate the breakfast made by her grandmother early in the morning. The simple porridge consisted of dried radishes and some chicken and duck platters that she worshiped.

Grandpa Song was not idle either, he took off all the couplets from last year at home.

Seeing that it was unsafe for the old man to go up and down, Song Dongling hurriedly finished breakfast and said to her grandfather, "Master, just leave it alone, and I'll post it. Is our paste still there? It's from last year! ?”

As she spoke, she leaned over to take a look, and found that it was indeed from last year, and it had formed into pieces a long time ago.

The old man is reluctant to throw it away every year, so he still has to throw it away now.

Grandpa Song also said: "Then let's make one ourselves this year, and I'll go get some porridge over here. Wait a minute, and I'll make the paste for you later."

The older generation can do this, but then someone said it was a waste of food, and then no one used it for a while, but in the past two years, someone used it again, saying that it didn't cost much rice grains.

There is no need to make such a fuss, the paste I bought also has this ingredient.

Song Dongling took off all the bits and pieces of Spring Festival couplets that hadn't been uncovered, and promised with a smile: "Hey, okay, don't worry, sir, take your time, we got up early enough today, the sky is still bright Woolen cloth."

She was still breathing hot as she spoke, and it was still cold today.

But my heart is warm.

She didn't feel that she couldn't bear the coldness, and she was wearing thick clothes.

After Grandpa Song responded, he quickly went into the big kitchen.

Song Dongling found some work on his own, and first put all the paper for the Spring Festival couplets in a bag. After a year, the red couplets had faded to a large extent, but some of the unfaded parts could even stain fingers. Head, she just doesn't care much about it.

When you post a new one later, it will still be stained with red gold powder, just get used to it.

Only once a year.

Song Dongling patiently cleaned everything on the ground.

Grandpa Song just came back with the paste in his hands. Seeing that he was smiling, it must have been quite successful. He was as excited as a child when he took it.

Let the granddaughter post it quickly.

Song Dongling smiled and said yes, and when her grandfather was holding on to the stool or the long ladder, he quickly climbed up, and all the posting was done in a short while.

The home has been refreshed with bright red and beaming colors everywhere.

The doors in the room are all posted with safe access or four seasons. The first couplet on the front door is the prosperity and wealth of the new year, the second couplet is the festive season and auspiciousness, and the banner is Fuxiyingmen!In other places, there are Chinese knots affixed with the characters of spring or blessing, and other green plants are also placed.

Two orange trees were added at the door of the house, and they were full of oranges.

This thing was bought by Gu Xiao. The Song family and Aunt Quan both had it. She thought it was unlucky to buy four pots, so she bought two more pots for the old village head. She bought six pots of spring oranges in total. It is said that it is popular in city G, and it looks good-looking, auspicious, and attracts wealth when placed at home.

Song Dongling was surprised when he received it, but he was also very happy.

This is not.

She had just pasted up the Spring Festival couplets, and was busy stuffing the red envelopes with some small money, one yuan and two yuan, and then hung them all on the orange tree.

Since you bought everything, you have to follow other people's customs.

The whole set.

It just looks more festive.

Grandpa Song praised when he saw it, "This looks very festive!"

Song Dongling also laughed and looked at her results, expressing her satisfaction. She said, "It's time to celebrate! It's New Year's Eve tonight! It must make the house lively! By the way, I have to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner!"

She talked and looked at the time. On the New Year's Eve, the big guys eat early. Some of the earliest people start eating at two o'clock, and the later ones start at three or four o'clock. As for why they know whether others have eaten? .

It is also a custom here that the whole family has the habit of surrounding the stove on the night of the New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. In ancient times, poor families could not afford firecrackers and other things, so they would put a small stove under the dining table. Then sprinkle a handful of salt and listen to the crackling sound to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

But now everyone can afford firecrackers, so they set them off before meals.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers, it means that eating has already started, and people who are not ready will start to get anxious, muttering: "Look, everyone has started to eat, we have to hurry up too." some."

Inexplicably urgent.

Song Dongling doesn't want it to be too early. Looking back, the big guys can still watch the Spring Festival Gala if they eat later, and enjoy watching it while eating, but it's okay to watch the Spring Festival Gala after eating early, so she can feel free to think about it, but the preparations must be prepared early. After all, the New Year's Eve dinner is a big table, and it will take a while to be busy.

It means that there is more than enough every year, so the food will naturally be left over.

After Song Dongling said this, she started looking for her apron.

Grandpa Song doesn't need to do anything today, the worship is basically done by women's homes, and he is a gentleman, so it's not easy for him to intervene in this work.

Just helping out at home, he spent the past years like this.

Song Dongling became more and more able to cook this year, which made Grandpa Song very impressed. In previous years, he had to wait for Grandma Song to cook, but this year he didn't need it.

Seeing this, Grandpa Song smiled and said to her: "If you want help, just say, how about I help you? See if there is anything I can do?"

The old man can't stay idle either.

After thinking about it carefully, Song Dongling gave him some dishes that needed to be selected.

Although Grandpa Song doesn't cook much, he is very skilled in helping out. The family is not patriarchal. Grandpa Song also wants to cook, but his cooking skills are very average, so Grandma Song doesn't let him cook.

Song Dongling wants to laugh every time she thinks of this, but in fact her grandpa's hands-on skills are not bad, but she really doesn't know how to cook.

After harvesting a bunch of vegetables and seasonings, Grandpa Song began to concentrate on his work. If he had a little work to do, he would feel more at ease.

He is like a child, obediently sitting at the gate of the yard choosing vegetables.
