084. The first month is busy

When eating Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, namely "glutinous rice balls", are filled with sugar, roses, sesame, bean paste, yellow cinnamon, walnut kernels, nuts, date paste, etc., and are wrapped in glutinous rice flour into a round shape. They can be meat or vegetable, and have different flavors. They can be boiled in soup, fried, and steamed, which means reunion and happiness. Hot and fire, reunion.

The streets were lively. Although it was night, there were still crowds of people, including dragon dancers, stilts, dry boats, and lanterns hanging everywhere, which made the usually quiet town look particularly "enchanting".

A bunch of dazzling light flew into the sky, "Papapa..." The bunch of light suddenly exploded, golden, silver, red, green, blue, star-like flowers flew around, like shining chrysanthemums, dazzling.

Sun Gang also lit the fireworks in the yard. The fuse kept sparking, burning to the end. With a loud bang, the fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed in the sky. Some were like meteors wandering in the night sky, some were like marigolds blooming happily, and some were like fairies scattering flowers, and small flowers fell from the sky.

"It's so beautiful, it's not the fireworks that are released, but the RMB." Sun's mother felt a little sorry for the money, one or two hundred yuan a barrel.

In the sky, the fireworks were like countless crystal bright pearls scattered around, and the sky suddenly became bright. Looking further away, there were not only the fireworks set by Sun Gang’s house, but also the fireworks set by others in the sky. They were really in various shapes, some were like blooming chrysanthemums, some were like meteor showers... so beautiful.

"Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep in the sky" is a true portrayal of this landscape.

Fireworks are easy to cool, with only a moment of glory. Leave a place...

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, women were afraid that they would suffer from all kinds of diseases when using needlework, so they went out to play in groups. Therefore, this custom is called "traveling around all kinds of diseases". There is a saying that "traveling around all kinds of diseases after traveling around all kinds of diseases will not get sick."

Usually on the 16th day of the first lunar month, after breakfast, almost every household has a door lock, and the whole family goes out to go around to "travel around for a hundred diseases".

In the past, the elderly loved to visit temple fairs, practice meditation and worship Buddha, and pray for blessings and blessings; young people also enjoyed various fun activities that enjoyed their bodies and minds.

Even those elderly people who don’t like to wander and like quietness will not stay at home on this day if they can walk around. Most of them will wear warm clothes and go around the fields with crutches.

According to people, after the 16th day of the first lunar month, all the "all diseases" will be "remained" on the road and "remained" in the wild, so that all the "remained" will be eliminated; those who are not sick or disaster will be cured and healthier; those who are sick or disaster will be "remained" and turn bad luck into good luck and time will be running! Such good wishes, can you say it is wrong? Therefore, there is also a taboo for traveling on this day. People can go there in many places, but they cannot go to visit relatives and friends specifically, and go to other people's homes to "remain travel to all diseases". If you go rashly, people will think that you will "remain" your own disasters in their homes, which is not good for their family. Therefore, try not to do such taboos!

"Traveling in a hundred diseases" is actually a pressure relief valve and buffer that can coordinate, match, connect, and relieve the red New Year's Eve and will soon turn into normal spring farming production and living order. It is a good custom of the New Year that nourishes the body and mind, boosts the spirit, restores physical strength, and facilitates the fight again! For Chinese people who believe in the "resonance of heaven and man", while the lively New Year's Eve makes people tired, when winter goes to spring comes and spring is about to begin, "Traveling in a hundred diseases" is a folk interpretation of the mechanism of "although the person is small, secretly in line with the world".

At night, every household built a few straws and piled them into conical shapes in front of their homes. The elders at home first lit the haystack on one side of their homes. The strong fire fell to the side of their homes, which allowed for a bumper harvest in the year and good weather.

The children seized the last opportunity to play with the lights. They turned on the lights, smashed them and burned them. Not only were they not angry, but they were extremely happy. With the lanterns, the arrival of auspiciousness indicates that the new year is prosperous.

The fire and lights were finished on the night of the 16th day of the first lunar month, and the New Year show basically ended.

After the first month of the year, the busy work of the year is about to begin again. Rural people are waiting for spring to start working hard, and the crops grow well, and the harvest is good in autumn. However, although they are planting in spring, there is nothing to harvest.

While many villagers are still immersed in festive activities such as New Year greetings, dragon lanterns, and watching big shows, some farmers are already busy with spring farming production in the fields.

Generally, when the sun is high in the afternoon, seize the favorable opportunity of the sunshine and the ice-filled water to make the soil moisture good. The villagers began to plow the fields and lay a solid foundation for spring farming.

Many villagers sow spring potatoes in the fields. Li Zhengwei and his wife in the village are experts in potato planting. The land of his family is not far from Sun Congo Garden. On that day, the couple leveled the land and fertilized the other sowed seeds. They cooperated very well and had a happy time.

These days, Sun Gang was busy pruning and fertilizing peach trees in the orchard. The snow was heavy before the New Year, and later his family was busy pruning peach trees. The fertilization farm work was lost. These days, while the weather was sunny, it was time to make up for it.

Cut off some extra branches, bury some fermented chicken and duck feces under each tree, and water some space water. Anyway, you go to the orchard to take care of it when you have time.

Time passed quickly, Sun Yang's vacation was about to end, and he was going to return to the army.

"Gangbaby, I'll chop some stuffing tomorrow and make dumplings." Sun's mother explained to her son.

"I still eat dumplings after the New Year."

"Isn't your brother going back to the army?" Sun Gang's custom is to get in the car and get off the car, and he has to have a meal of dumplings before leaving.

"Oh, OK, I know."

Two days later, Sun Gang drove his car to the county train station.

"Yangyang, take good care of Yanzi, you two must live a good life, do you know?" Sun's mother wiped the corners of her eyes and told her that the child was a soldier in another place. It was fake that parents said they didn't care. "Yan'er, look at Yangyang well and let him smoke less."

"Mom, I understand."

"Mom, I can do it, don't worry..."

"If you have something to do, call me." Dad Sun was also a little reluctant to part with his son.

"Yangyang, take this on the way," Sun Gang's grandmother walked over with a bag of fruit in her hand, and her grandfather followed behind her with her little feet.

Sun Yang took the fruit from his grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, grandma, take care of your health at home." He knew his grandmother's temper, and she would be angry if she didn't accept it.

"Brother, you have to leave, otherwise you won't be able to catch the train." Sun Gang urged, he didn't like the parting scene.

"Grandma, parents, you should pay attention to your health at home." Sun Yang and Wang Yan had no choice but to say goodbye, "Xiaogang, be obedient at home and take good care of our grandparents and their parents."

The car gradually faded away, and several close relatives were still waving reluctantly at the gate.
