The rooster crows at dawn, and the sun rises in the east!

The quiet and peaceful Xiaojiang Village ushered in a new day.

According to the old history.

Today is the last day of 2009.

Today, 2010 officially began.

Early in the morning, Chen Yang was still sleeping, and grandma got up. She was afraid that Chen Yang would freeze, so she set up the stove first and then carried half a basket of donkey manure to burn the kang.

It can be said that it has shown love to the extreme.

Chen Yang had no idea of ​​staying on the kang.

As soon as I woke up, I put on my clothes and got up with the kang.

Although today is the Little New Year, there is still some serious work to do.

According to customs.

Today, the Chen family will go to the grave to burn paper to pay tribute to the old ancestors.

This is usually done by males.

I believe that the same customs continue in other places.

This link also explains from the perspective of the reason why the idea of ​​filial piety first and that the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls has been passed down for thousands of years.

People who don’t have sons are easy to say.

But by the end of the year, when it is necessary to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival.

Then the mood will obviously be very uncomfortable.

This is true for the living, and I am afraid the dead are the same.

The living person is old and cannot walk. He has no son to visit the graves for his ancestors.

The dead had no direct descendants to burn paper to pay tribute.

"I didn't do anything bad, but I felt very uncomfortable."

This sentence was said by my little father Chen Deyuan after he was drunk in his previous life.

He has no son, but his three daughters are very filial.

I often see the couple.

But no matter how filial they are, they will have their own families after getting married, and they will definitely put their in-laws first during festivals.

in this case.

How could the little dad and his wife feel in the mood to go to the grave to burn paper together?

It was okay when I was young.

Dad can go with everyone.

At this time, Chen Deren and others of his peers would also go.

But at the age of age, the situation is obviously different.

When Chen Yang and his generation, even Chen Yang's son and his generation, became the main force in visiting graves and sweeping the graves.

My father, who is an older person, has to go with his nephew and grandchildren.

Perhaps only those who have truly experienced it can understand the taste.

After all, no matter how filial a woman is or how good a son-in-law is, he will never be able to visit the grave for his father-in-law to pay tribute to his ancestors...

Men are going to go to the grave to burn paper.

Women prepare New Year’s Eve dinner at home.

Xiaoma plans to steam buns today.

Steaming buns during the Chinese New Year is also a tradition.

And unlike usual, only steamed pork buns during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Yang had just finished washing his face.

The first bun that Xiaoma and the others steamed was out of the pot.

Grandma took a small step and asked Chen Yang to eat with a kind look on her face.

This is the breakfast.

My mother also made some rice soup alone.

Meat buns and rice soup, and a few pickles and the like.

It made Chen Yang feel comfortable.

Just put down the rice bowl.

Uncle and the others came.

There were more than 20 people in the group.

He was carrying a plastic bag in his hand.

It contains dark paper and firecrackers.

And the reason why there are so many people.

Aside from the direct descendants of the uncle and his grandfather, there are also the descendants of the second master and the younger master.

Grandpa Chen Jingwen and his three elder brothers are all alive now, and their descendants basically live in Xiaojiang Village.

This is also the reason why the Chen family can become one of the four major families among more than 100 families in Xiaojiang Village.

After all, there are many people and many people.

In the past two years, social progress and public security have improved in all aspects, making it much more harmonious.

According to my father, in the 1970s and 1980s, when my father and others were young.

In the countryside.

There are frequent group fights between families and villages.

In that case.

Which one family has more people, it is unlikely that it will suffer a loss.

This is also a product of a special era.

A few minutes later.

The group set out in a mighty manner.

During this period, there were also bursts of firecrackers.

This is also a blessing from Chen Yang.

When my father went home, he pulled fireworks and firecrackers back a lot, and distributed a lot to each household.

And they are all free.

For the dolls.

This year, I can have a good time to get angry.

***

In previous years.

Chen Yang must be the one who walked silently behind the crowd. He was serious and even when he walked with his family, he was unwilling to take the initiative to say something.

Others don't take what he says seriously.

But this year is different.

Whether it is him or his father Chen Deren.

They are always surrounded by a group of people, and the topic is determined by the father and son.

What is the central halo?

That's it.

And to be honest.

Chen Yang doesn't like this atmosphere very much.

But there is nothing to do.

If you don’t want to say anything, everyone will ask you every word and every word.

This situation cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, they will be considered to look down on them.
To be continued...
