The leisurely life of rebirth.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve, it is called "Little New Year's Eve".On this day, because my father and mother will take Fang Monan and the others back to the grandpa's house in the city to celebrate the new year, and they will not be able to come back until the second day of the new year, so grandma regards this day as New Year's Eve.Spring Festival couplets, door gods, also posted them early.

At noon, Fang Monan rarely took out the fruit wine in the space. Of course, it was bought by his grandma in name, and he prepared a table of happy family reunion dinner (Liuwei cold dish), reunion round (JiuNian YuanZi soup), Dazhan Hongtu (boiled prawns), Auspicious New Year (fried rice cake with crab), Kunpeng Zhizhi (perch with scallion oil), Fuxing Gaozhao (dried duck with bamboo shoots), prosperity (hair blood), Lucky Fortune (red steak Knuckles), Caiyuan Guangjin (Snow Buckets with Soil Bamboo Shoots), Flourishing Days (Special Grain Rolls), New Year's End (Braised Spring Bamboo Shoots in Oil), Chunhui Yanlai (Spinach Floating Balls with Vermicelli Pot), Happiness (Chicken Shredded Longxu noodles), and their favorite braised pork.

After lunch, everyone sat around the chopping board and made dumplings together.The leek and pork stuffing was prepared in the space, grandma reconciled noodles, aunt rolled dumpling wrappers, mom, dad, grandma, Mr. Lin and Fang Monan made dumplings together.Mobei sleeps without her interruption, and everyone talks and laughs together.

"Ah! Nannan can also make dumplings." Dad said in surprise.

I saw Fang Monan skillfully picked up the dumpling wrapper, filled it with fillings, pinched the edges, pinched the edges with both hands, squeezed in, and the dumpling was bulging like an ingot and wrapped. [

"Wow...it's really well packaged." My aunt exclaimed. "More skilled than me."

"Don't make a fuss about it! Our family Nan Nan made buns with pleats like chrysanthemums. They are very beautiful." Grandma said flauntingly.

Grandma thought that Fang Monan could only cook in a spacious kitchen, but she didn't expect to know that her skills were not bad until she saw her making buns. She thought that she didn't just say that she could cook.

In doing so, Fang Monan also vaccinated everyone in advance to prepare for cooking in person in the future. He couldn't always use the space kitchen and waste his skills.

There are many people and strength, and the three-pot-covered dumplings will be wrapped soon.

Of course, Fang Monan also prepared in the evening: one is hot pot.One is fish.The hot pot is boiling, steaming, warm and sultry, indicating that it is booming; the homonym of "fish" and "yu" symbolizes "auspicious abundance" and also means "surplus every year".There are also radishes, commonly known as Caitou, which I wish for good luck; fried foods such as lobster and fried fish, I wish the family luck is prosperous like "cooking oil with fire". Of course, it is indispensable to cook the dumplings made by everyone. There are many styles, so quantity Not many.

When it was served, I asked my aunt to sing the name of the dish to celebrate.They listened to the auspicious names of the dishes, and when they ate them, they didn't forget to guess what they were made of.The atmosphere is happy, warm and happy. After eating, clean up.It's still early, people don't need to get up early in the winter, everyone has had some wine and is in high spirits, Fang Monan suggested that everyone tell a joke and sing a song, to have fun and pass the time, which got everyone's response.

My aunt excitedly sang two popular songs, "My Motherland" and "Singing the Motherland", which were very nice, and everyone sang together.

Mom also sang two popular songs, and it was Dad's turn, he sang a model play to outwit Tiger Mountain, and stood up with a decent posture. Tian Shi boasted that he rehearsed in high school, so he was passable.Let's sing!amateur only.

As a result, Dad's bright voice attracted Liang Zi and Grandma Liang from the backyard.

"Sister of the Liang family, it's just in time to come! Sit down quickly." Grandma shouted happily.

My aunt hurriedly took two small chairs, Liang Zi took them over, and they sat down, "It's so lively, Brother Zhengping's roar can be heard from far away."

"Hee hee... After dinner, it's okay, we're having fun!" Fang Monan said with a smile.

Dad drank some wine to cheer him up, his interest was raised, and there was another Shajiabang wit fight. De one.Traitor Hu Chuankui.

From that era, it is estimated that model operas can be memorized fluently, regardless of whether they can, they can basically shout twice, and no one cares about singing well, just for fun.

Grandma told a joke, and I remember a little joke, saying that the private school teacher taught the landlord's son to read and learn a word in three days.The old landlord didn't believe it, and had to take an exam, so he picked up a branch and drew a line on the ground. The landlord's son looked at it again and again and said, "The pole!".Although the joke seemed a bit cold to Fang Monan, in this atmosphere, she also laughed.

Fang Monan had countless jokes in her stomach, so she said a classic stand-up comedy, Ma Sanli's "I'm kidding you." 'Especially when she deliberately lowered her voice and imitated it.The whole family laughed.

"Oh! Nannan, you better stop talking. My stomach hurts from laughing." The aunt tightened her legs, "No, I have to go to the bathroom quickly."

"Look at how promising you are." Grandma laughed. [

Everyone laughed enough, "The ones who come have a share, Grandma Liang and Brother Liang Zi, don't join in the fun." Fang Monan said cheerfully.

"Come on! We are all our own people, and there is no one to care about. We just have fun after Chinese New Year." Grandma said.

Grandma Liang replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll have one first." She sang a piece of Hua Mulan from the Henan opera, "Who Says Women are worse than Men" has a good appearance, and her voice is clear and bright, and non-professionals can really be fooled .

Liang Zi clapped his hands vigorously, he hadn't seen his mother so happy for a long time.He also sang a section of "The White-haired Girl" about the red-headed rope that Yang Bailao bought for Xi'er, which made everyone laugh.Liang Zi was out of tune and would not come if he ran to the capital, but no one cared, the more lively the better, he sang very vigorously, playing tricks, and he sang like a buffoon.

Enough laughing, it was Mr. Lin's turn. He went back to the room and took out a cloth bag, which was old but clean. After opening it, there was a violin lying inside, obviously it hadn't been played for a long time.

It was rare for Mr. Lin to be so happy. With wine to cheer him up, he also came to take out the treasure he had hidden for a long time, the only one left behind who followed him here.He opened it and stroked it carefully. The pearl was covered with dust and had been hidden for a long time.

He stood up, put on a posture, and tried the sound carefully.A cheerful Bazzini, naughty fairy dance music, came out melodiously.

Fang Monan had heard this song before, and it was a very technical song.The old man may not have played for a long time, and there were some portamentos, wrong notes, and even out of tune at the beginning.Soon he found the feeling that the music was like a group of elves dancing happily. He let the bow fly on the string as if he was playing with skill. Those who jumped, did not have a stable and peaceful posture for a moment.Give people a happy and lively and funny feeling.

Fang Monan didn't expect to hear violin music here. It seems that the old man is not a simple person.Listening to the timbre of a violin, you know it's not a fanqin.

The appearance of the modern violin has a history of more than 300 years, and it is also one of the most important instruments in Western music since the 17th century.Its production itself is an extremely delicate art.The violin has a beautiful timbre, close to the human voice, wide range, and strong expressiveness. Since the day it was born, it has always occupied a prominent position among musical instruments and is loved by people.If the piano is the "king of musical instruments", then the violin is the "queen" of musical instruments.

After the song was over, Fang Monan clapped his palms vigorously, and Mo Bei started clapping too when he saw this, and kept saying, "It's nice, and I need... more."

The others were dumbfounded, they had never even seen a violin, they only knew it sounded good, so they also clapped their hands.

Mr. Lin couldn't twist Mo Bei, so he pulled it again.Xiao Nizi still didn't think it was enough, she wanted to listen to it for the third time but was stopped by Fang Monan.

"It's time to go to bed." Fang Monan said with a smile.

Mo Bei looked at her with an evil smile, "Oh! Sleep. Mom, I want to sleep." Mo Bei climbed onto his mother's lap and said.

In Mobei's psychology, although this elder sister is very kind to her, she has everything that is delicious and fun, but as long as she is misbehaving and crying, she will be waved by her elder sister, and she will not be able to move.That's not to mention, my sister purposely ate delicious food in front of her, and she could only watch helplessly. The tempting aroma made her swallow her mouth water, but she couldn't eat a single bite.

Jiu'er Jiuzhi Mobei obeyed her words and did not dare to resist.

"Okay, since you're all sleepy, let's wash up and go to bed! We have to drive back to the city tomorrow." Grandma said. "Enough laughing, enough crazy fun!"

Liang Zi and Grandma Liang also got up to say goodbye and left. They walked a long way, and they could still hear the laughter of mother and son from time to time.

"When Mo Bei comes back from the city, grandpa will tell you again, please!" Mr. Lin patted Mo Bei's head and said lovingly.

The happy time always passes very fast. I wash up and go to bed, and my sleep is full of cheerful laughter, which is very sweet.

*********************************[

The next day, it was New Year's Eve, Fang Monan came out of the space on time, ran and exercised with Mr. Lin and Auntie Lin, and woke up on time when the biological clock was adjusted.

After breakfast, Fang Monan quietly took the things in the space to the kitchen, and told his grandma that she would not be here for the next two days, so they had to cook for themselves.Grandma watched her nagging like an old lady. Your grandma and I have been cooking for more than ten years, and she still doesn't know how to cook these few meals.

After giving the instructions, Fang Monan's family of four hurried the bus back to the city, "crunching, crunching" for an hour, arrived in the city, and got off by the side of the road.After walking a few steps, they soon arrived home. They lived on the edge of the city. In fact, this city is very small. One road running north-south and three streets running east-west formed the city.It is said that the edge is actually far from the city center, and it takes only ten minutes to walk there.

When we arrived at the family courtyard, there were two neat rows of red brick and tile houses facing each other, with two rooms or one room respectively.Most of the people living here were recruited from the city in the late 70s, working in the service industry in restaurants, hairdressers, bathhouses, salespersons, etc.Everyone belongs to the same unit, and there is only one room for each person.Later, he got married and started a business, and went forward to add a cover privately.It made the originally spacious road a bit narrow.Because of the Chinese New Year, everyone went back to their hometown or their parents' home to celebrate the New Year, so the family home seemed deserted.

Fang Monan walked in and was very familiar with it. He lived here until he graduated from elementary school. Later, this land was developed, so the residents here went their separate ways.

Dad was carrying a big bag on his back, which contained food, and he was holding Mo Bei in front of him, walked to the front of the room, put it down, took a breath, was exhausted, and opened the door again.Open the door, and the cold air blows in.

"Dayan, you're back from your mother's house." My mother took Fang Monan to the end, and said hello to the neighbors who passed by and didn't go home for the New Year.

"Yes! Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I have to go to the child's grandpa's house." The mother smiled and said to the man, "You didn't go home to celebrate the New Year, and you will come to your house in a while, pick up a piece of coal balls, and light the stove. Go to cool the air in the house."

"Okay! Come on in a while! Put the baby in first, it's so cold."

"Then I'll go in first." Mom pulled Mo Nan into the house, put her and Mo Bei on the bed, told Mo Nan to take care of his sister, and then went to light the stove.

There was only one room, and one was added in front of it, making the room very narrow and long.No one lived in the house for a long time, it was cold.Fang Monan grabbed Mobei's cold little hand and worked hard, and soon her little hand warmed up, and her face turned rosy.There is not much furniture in the room, and the room is a bit empty.A double bed made of iron, a desk, and a large dead closet.There is a washbasin stand by the door, with a washbasin on it and towels drooping.The stove was placed in the middle of the room, and the chimney was inserted across the door to the outside.

Mom and Dad are busy cleaning up the house. There is a thin layer of dust inside, and couplets and door gods have to be pasted up. There are a lot of things.Fang Monan watched them busy, and gradually the temperature in the room rose. She took out a pencil, drew stick figures on paper, and taught Mo Bei how to speak.

"Oh! Dayan, your child is amazing! Look at it." A middle-aged woman who had just walked in, who hadn't been home for the New Year, shouted exaggeratedly standing in front of Fang Monan.

Fang Monan looked up at her, his impression was blurred, he asked, "Hello, Auntie!" Then he lowered his head.

"Nothing?" Mom said casually. After seeing her two daughters, this is just pediatrics, and Mom has long been immune.

"It's nothing?" The middle-aged woman looked at her mother with wide eyes and said, "My youngest son is going to the Yuhong class, and he can't even hold a pen. Your big girl already knows how to draw." face of envy. "It's not like a country girl at all." Although the words were rough, there was no malice, "When I go back, I have to teach my bastard a lesson, don't just play like a crazy boy, and learn like your child. "

Although in this day and age, adults treat children as free-range, and education is not as important as later generations, but who doesn't want their children to study well so that they can look good in front of others.

The middle-aged woman hurried home, and after a while, she heard her voice like a loudspeaker, and the voice of admonishing the children spread far away.

Dad and Mom got busy, cleaned the house, and the lunch was already hot on the stove. What they brought were semi-finished products. As long as they were heated for a few lines, the smell of meat would already fill the room.

After lunch, it's time to make dumplings with bread. My father, mother, and Fang Monan are busy making dumplings for thirty nights and tomorrow morning, talking and laughing.Mobei played with the cards drawn by Fang Monan for her, and did not disturb them making dumplings. The three of them worked together and finished making dumplings in a while.It was still early, and my father went out to play cards with the men in the family courtyard who hadn't returned home for the New Year.And my mother took off the coats of the family of four, washed them in the yard, and wore new clothes tomorrow.

Fang Monan and Mobei could only sleep under the big quilt. When they woke up, it was already dark and they heard the sound of firecrackers.

After my mother cooked the wrapped dumplings, they placed them on the dining table, set off firecrackers, and the family happily finished eating the dumplings.After tidying up, my mother took out new clothes for Mo Nan and Mo Bei to try on, a red long-haired woolen coat and red corduroy pants.Putting on this dress, Fang Monan was very helpless. At that time, when his mother finished it, she had black lines all over her face. There was no way to ruin her mother's intentions. Fortunately, there were some left over. The red woolen fabric, Fang Mo Nan asked her to make a red beret, which looked heroic, but unfortunately she was too young to feel that way, only cute.In this way, we will not be able to wear red lanterns that can walk, so there is no way to celebrate the New Year. People like festive clothes, especially children.

On New Year's Eve, just their family, without the hustle and bustle of yesterday, was a bit deserted compared to yesterday, Mo Bei said: "I want to hear Grandpa..." She didn't know what to say, she opened her posture and gestured, which was quite similar Kind of.

"The day after tomorrow, you can hear it when you go back the day after tomorrow." Dad hugged her and said.

In the era without television and entertainment, New Year's Eve passed very slowly, and someone just happened to call them.It turned out that the people left in the family courtyard gathered together to have a lively and lively time. After hearing this, my father and mother took some side dishes to go with the wine and went too.But Fang Monan and Mobei didn't want to go, the family got together, drinking and smoking were smoky, so children should be spared!Finally convinced my mother, the two of them did not go.

After watching their father and mother leave, Fang Monan and Mobei stared at the light bulbs in the room, and the alarm clock was only after seven o'clock, thinking that they would not come back soon, the room was not as good as before. Grandma's house is warm, and she led Mo Bei into the space.

The wilting Mo Bei came back to life as soon as he entered the space, Fang Mo Nan couldn't do anything else when he brought her in, so he had to take her to the study, where she gave Mo Bei some pigeon eggs and earth pearls as pawns. You can play with yoyo.Seeing Mo Bei sitting on the long-haired carpet and playing happily, without disturbing her, he sat at the desk reading a book, listening to the movement outside, the atmosphere was warm and natural.

Fang Monan saw Mo Bei rubbing his eyes, and knew that he was sleepy, so he took her to soak in the hot spring, washed it off, and went to bed.It was just after eight o'clock, and she had just fallen asleep when she saw her father and mother coming back. Fang Monan looked at them in surprise, "You came back so early?"

"Oh! Xiaobei is asleep." Mom said: "They just smoked and drank, gossiped, bragged, and chatted a lot, so your dad and I came back first."

"It's not as fun as playing at home yesterday." Mom murmured, "Go to sleep! I have to get up early tomorrow to go to grandpa's house to pay New Year's greetings!"

Fang Monan got into bed, watched his father and mother wash and go to bed.The family soon fell asleep.

The New Year's Eve at grandma's house seemed relatively deserted after Fang Monan's family left. Liang Zi came to ask if there was any heavy work that could be done.

Grandma said: "There is no heavy work at this time. By the way, anyway, your family is just you and your mother. Why don't we celebrate the New Year's Eve together. It's more lively this way." She sighed again: " Without Nannan, this is really deserted."

Liang Zi also felt that something was missing, especially last night, which was so exciting and lively, it was really uncomfortable not to hear her little adult's words to remind her. "Hey! We'll bother the aunt that night."

The New Year's Eve at my grandma's house was lively and lively, but I always felt that something was missing.
