[events of Chinese New year] lack of juvenile flavor in memory

With the sound of firecrackers, I bid farewell to the old year and welcome the New year with joy. when the New year arrives in 2015, it is my most boring New year.

The Spring Festival in previous years is not as boring as it is now. Maybe at a time like this, my family and I are just sitting at the table, bowing our heads and playing with our mobile phones. Even if there are many relatives on the table, it is so quiet that everyone eats silently, without any flavor of the New year.

In the past few years, maybe it was regulation, or the transformation of villages in the city, when we were always much more interesting than we are now. A few years ago, perhaps now there was the sound of firecrackers, the scene of children setting off firecrackers in the front yard, the figure of parents and relatives busy preparing New year's goods, and the joy of living together for four generations. You don't have to live like a machine all the time.

New Year's Eve, on New year's Eve on the calendar, I was always woken up early by the sound of firecrackers. As soon as I got up, I helped my parents clean the doors and windows, tore off the dusty door gods and couplets, tore off the nearly faded window grilles, and worked hard to wipe the dust of the past year. My mother took the prepared couplet, my father glued it to both sides of the door with adhesive tape, and I was the commander. After they had pasted it, they took out a pair of pine branches from home. Insert it in two incense buckets, light two more incense, and light a candle behind the door, all of which pass quickly.

After dinner, I went to the street with my friends to buy fireworks. I saw the villagers in the village on the street selling their own rice cakes. They were always greedy, but they wanted to go home again. When I got home, I helped Grandma prepare dinner and cook delicious ingredients. Before dinner, she will give everyone a piece of rice cake and the children or adults who have taken the rice cake will say a lucky word. Every year there must be a fish on the table, indicating that every adult should give the prepared lucky money to the children after eating every year. And to take the old man's lucky money to bow to say a few auspicious words.

In the evening, you can go up to the roof to set off fireworks. When the fireworks are about the same, you can watch others. Then go downstairs to find the adults who are watching the Spring Festival Gala to watch TV and knock melon seeds together, waiting for 12:00 to put a string of firecrackers at home, eat brown sugar boiled bait, worship heaven and earth. Adults keep watch all night, while children watch TV and play in the yard.

On the first day of the Lunar New year, we can't go out to play, visit or eat meat in our village. Adults and old people take the children to the temple in the village to worship and offer incense, setting off a string of firecrackers in time, and can't open the doors and gates of the roof at night, because the family says it will reveal money.

Now after the move, I can no longer feel the smell of the Spring Festival, there are still people setting off fireworks, but not as loud as in previous years. Many family activities have been cancelled, and I don't feel that kind of anger anymore. sometimes, it's like going back to my childhood and spending the New year like this again.
