I really don't want to eat soft rice

Chapter 204 New Year's Eve (for Subscription)

The New Year's Eve of Yan Kingdom in 2005 was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there was no New Year's Eve in this year.

But the customs of each surname here are a little different.

For example, in Chenjiawan, which is only two miles away from Hanjiaba, the New Year begins on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is more lively than the New Year.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the sound of firecrackers around Hanjiaba came one after another, making it very lively.

The out-and-out people from Xiaoshu Town have never been careless about Chinese New Year.

Even if the family's situation is not very good this year, it's never a bad thing to set off firecrackers during the New Year?
Liu Qingyi was in Han Chao's room, and was frightened by the firecrackers for a while.

She could only hug the dog man tightly.

"Is it too noisy to sleep?"

Han Chao touched Liu Qingyi's head and said with a smile.

"It's okay, do people here like setting off firecrackers so much?"

"I'm busy all year round, and I can't make much money. It's just a luxury during the Chinese New Year. It's lively and lively, and everyone is usually very economical."

"You have been in good condition since you were a child. Don't you understand how much we poor people value the Chinese New Year?"

"Tomorrow night, at twelve o'clock, the Panjiagou next door will start to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Every household will set off firecrackers and fireworks. Do you know why?"

Han Chao said with a smile.

"How do I know, I'm not from here."

Liu Qingyi drew a circle on the dog man's chest with a slight complaint, and said with a smile.

"It is said that the ancestors in Panjiagou were crippled. The New Year's Eve dinners with the surnames next to them are eaten at six or seven o'clock. They considered that the ancestors were crippled, so the big ceremony was postponed for several hours."

Han Chao let Liu Qingyi draw circles on his chest and explained with a smile.

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Liu Qingyi listened to the dog man's words, looked at him and said.

Don't be a dog man, don't make up another story to fool yourself.

"Why would I lie to you? You have no candy to lie to. Anyway, that's what my family told me when I was young."

"No matter what, I think this story is very good. At least it reflects a filial piety for future generations."

"Whether the ancestors could eat it or not, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that this story has been passed down to this day. It is a warning to the next generation. Isn't that good?"

Han Chao thought he also looked at Liu Qingyi, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile.

"I didn't say it was bad. The Chinese New Year here is much better than in the city."

"It's fine if you don't dislike it."

……

Twelfth lunar month 29, New Year's Eve.

Han Jiuhua and Hao Jinhua got up early in the morning.

At seven o'clock in the morning, there are firecrackers everywhere in Hanjiaba.

"Why are there so many firecrackers this early in the morning?"

Liu Qingyi asked Han Chao while putting on her clothes.

"Today is New Year's Eve, and many people began to visit their graves to worship their ancestors. Spring Festival couplets will be pasted on the graves."

Han Chao said with a smile.

"Didn't you say yesterday that ancestor worship was in the ancestral hall in the evening?"

"This is the ancestral tomb where each family pays homage to their own ancestors. In the ancestral hall, they commemorate the common ancestors. This grave is to go to the graves of their ancestors."

Han Chao explained to Liu Qingyi.

There are too many messy rules in the countryside, even if they are less than three miles apart, the rules are different.

It's normal for Liu Qingyi, a city woman from outside, not to know these things.

"Then don't you have to go to your house for a while?"

"Yes, the ancestors of our family have genealogical records dating back more than 200 years ago."

"Then can I go with you?"

"Yes, why not."

"Didn't you say that you don't allow women to participate in some activities here?"

Hearing Liu Qingyi's words, Han Chao felt warm again.

He didn't expect that Liu Qingyi would keep in his heart a word he said unintentionally.

Liu Qingyi didn't want to embarrass Han Chao because she did something wrong.

She also knows that there are many rules in some places.Obviously, the hometown of the dog man belongs to this kind of place.

"Then those who don't have a son, why don't they worship their ancestors and go to the grave?"

"What age is it now, there are not so many rules."

"But my ancestor worship here is not like in the city. They are all in the cemetery, and the graves of my ancestors are all on the hills."

"The weather is pretty good these days, and it hasn't rained. Otherwise, your shoes are full of mud."

Han Chao smiled and said to Liu Qingyi.

Han Jiuhua and Hao Jinhua started to work early in the morning. Grandma Liu Ju was sitting in the fire barrel. Han Jiuhua turned on the TV in the morning and played Lanmei Opera, a local opera in Ancheng, Yanguo, on VCD.

Liu Ju is illiterate, but she can basically understand the opera on TV.

When she was young, she could sing all the operas that actors are singing on TV.

So art is really a strange thing sometimes, but an illiterate person can sing a whole opera without saying a word.

This VCD and the new TV set were bought by Han Jiuhua from the acquaintances introduced by Zha Shuhai after Han Chao returned to Yucheng.

If the daughter-in-law in the city wants to come back for the New Year, she must buy some decent things, not too shabby.

Early in the morning of New Year's Eve, the whole Hanjiaba is filled with the breath of New Year's Eve.

Children also get up early this day, and children in rural areas are not as pampered as children in cities.

Some of them are little more than six or seven years old, but they take the lit long sticks of incense to the grave and set off small firecrackers on the side of the road.

They are very happy, because the parents are not very restrained to them on this day.

There is a saying in Hanjiaba that children yearn for the New Year, and adults yearn for planting fields.

The most carefree is childish childhood.

After Liu Qingyi washed up, she walked out of the yard and looked outside.

A six or seven-year-old child walked up to Liu Qingyi, smiled and asked in substandard Mandarin.

"Sister, are the girls in big cities just like you, like the female stars on TV?"

Tong Yan Wuji, he just listened to his grandma saying that when she was chatting with others, and when talking about Liu Qingyi.

Several other children were also standing on the sidelines and laughing non-stop.

The child is very skinny, and the sleeves of the new clothes he just put on are already dirty.

Liu Qingyi smiled, not knowing how to answer the children's questions.

"Alai, study hard. When you go to the city in the future, you will find that they are all fairies like your sister. Come, I will give you candy."

Just at this time, Han Chao also came out of the yard. He happened to have some candy in his hand, and then he distributed the candy to the little kids.

The children took the candy and dispersed happily.

"Brother Xiao Chao, my father and mother chatted and said that you were lucky to marry such a beautiful wife. I think Brother Xiao Chao is handsome and worthy of a beautiful sister in the city."

The little kid called Alai by Han Chao suddenly turned his head and said to Han Chao at the top of his voice, using broken Mandarin.

Liu Qingyi was so happy that the kid sold his parents with just a few candies.

Han and North Korea did not speak, what else could he say?He wasn't angry either, so he wouldn't go to Alai's father to argue about this matter.

Besides, little Ah Lai praised himself for being handsome, saying that he was worthy of Liu Qingyi, children's words were the truth, and adults always lied.

He is too lazy to be angry with those men who are jealous of him!If he is capable, he will be lucky to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law in the city?

"Alai is cute, isn't she?"

"Quite cute."

"How about we have one too?"

"Hehe, don't ask me if you have the ability, this kind of thing is not up to women."

Liu Qingyi rolled her eyes at the dog man.

Doing exercises every day in Yucheng, without taking any safety measures, getting pregnant is not something that comes naturally.

If she doesn't agree to have a child, Han Chao can be tossed like that every day, what a dog man.

Han Chao was speechless when Liu Qingyi glanced at him.

If she said so, she would be right.

After breakfast, Han Jiuhua took Han Chao and Liu Qingyi to the grave.

Hao Jinhua continues to be busy. After so many years of busy Spring Festival, this is the happiest year.

Han Jiuhua didn't say much along the way, and when he met acquaintances, he just smiled and said hello.

What he said the most was to let Han Chao take care of his wife in the hills. This dirt road is not easy to walk, so don't fall on his wife.

The ancestral tombs of Han Chao's family are scattered all over the small hills, just small soil bags covered with withered grass.

There are no tombstones in front of the graves, and some ancestral graves are so old that Han Jiuhua himself doesn't know whether it is his great-grandfather or his great-grandfather.

Anyway, Han Chao's grandfather took him when he was a child, and when it was time to burn paper, he led him to burn paper and set off firecrackers to kowtow, which was passed down from generation to generation.

The best-preserved ancestral tomb of Han Chao's family is of course the grave of Han Chao's grandfather, Han Kelu.

At any rate, there is a stone tablet engraved in front of his grave, and the mound is relatively high.

After all, this is Han Jiuhua's father, and he handled the matter. When Han Kelu passed away, Han Jiuhua's family situation was much better than before.

So he can spend more money on these things and make them look better.

In the end, the ancestral grave where the paper money was burned is long gone.

The Han surname of the Han Chao family has a set seniority table in terms of seniority.

Rongming Huayanyun, Fuyong Wanguangru; Shang Guangzhi Xixian, a scholar of Xiqing;
The inheritance of the sect can last for a long time, and the benevolence and generosity are always new;
Auspicious Kaihong Yuxiu, auspicious gathering Huaizhen; Ruizhao Tongzhimao, prosperity and prosperity.

Han Jiuhua is of the long-character generation, and Han Chao's name in the family tree is Han Renchao.

The last ancestral tomb is Jinzidai, which has a history of more than 200 years.

"The ancestor in this tomb is amazing. Don't look at it as a woman. According to the family tree, the two sons he gave birth to became county magistrates."

"Looking at the family tree, she has more written records as a woman than many men."

"Look at this ancestral grave after so many years, it is still so good. Fengshui here is good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, there are many red birds in the front, Xuanwu in the back, green dragon on the left, and white tiger on the right."

"So, her two sons have become officials."

Han Jiuhua spoke non-standard Hanjiaba Mandarin and said to Liu Qingyi and Han Chao with a smile.

Since Han Chao was very young, whenever he came to visit the grave, he would hear old Han chanting.

Hundreds of years have passed, didn't this ancestor just have two people who were nothing more than county magistrates?
Say it every year, don't you feel tired?
I don't even look at it, starting from my grandfather, and then to Lao Han, how poor they are.

This ancestor was once rich, what does it have to do with now?Isn't this typical feel good about yourself?
Liu Qingyi was very interesting to hear. She didn't know Suzaku Xuanwu, but this ancestral tomb covers a large area and the surrounding environment is better than other places.

It is not easy for a family to remember hundreds of years of history.

Like their Liu family, although there are many people now.But basically it was all thanks to his grandfather's hard work, and then he made a fortune, and then traced back to history, she really didn't know.

　These two chapters are a bit dull, nothing more than some daily life.It is also a record of the author's life in the countryside. Maybe some young book friends may not understand it.But it can be regarded as a kind of understanding of the Spring Festival in different places.The further you go, the more unhealthy the taste of the year will be.This is an inevitable trend in the process of urbanization.Maybe no one has recorded it... Although the author wrote a web article, if he has the opportunity to record it, he will record it.
