It’s Chinese New Year, what’s the new year like in your place?

It’s the New Year, are you happy or sad, are you looking forward to the New Year or are you afraid of the New Year? Do you wish there would be a holiday called Chinese New Year? What's the New Year like there? I like to celebrate the New Year and hope this festival will exist forever. Let me share with you the New Year scene there.

"Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my loved ones even more during the festive season." Being in a foreign land, I miss my loved ones especially. I am waiting for the company to announce the annual holiday like I am looking forward to the stars and the moon. , I wish I could return to the embrace of my hometown in just a second.

Finally, when the holiday bell rang, I picked up the baggage I had already prepared, called my family to inform them about the time I would arrive home, stepped on the train, and started my annual vacation trip. This trip was more exciting than usual. Traveling is extraordinary. The happiness it brings me can only be experienced but cannot be described. After all, it only happens once a year and it is a big event.

"Little Hello, aunt, I went to work in the fields again."... As I approached the door of my house, I called loudly from outside the door: "Mom, Dad, I'm back, how are you?", "Yeah, just come back." Dad Mom said in unison, Mom was preparing food, Dad was reading the newspaper, Mom said to Dad: "Go carry the luggage for my daughter", "She is such a big person, Xiaoxing can carry it", Dad said seriously, "No, Mom and Dad , it’s all at your doorstep”

The feeling of returning home is warm, and there are still 4 days until the New Year.

On the first day, my mother and I went to buy some New Year’s goods and bought some dried fish, peanuts, melon seeds, candies, biscuits, etc. During the New Year, every household must post couplets. Of course, couplets are indispensable. Yes, you also need to buy new clothes. If you wear new clothes during the New Year, you will have good luck and make a lot of money.

The next day, we did the general cleaning, used firecrackers, and washed the dishes. Most people in our village used firecrackers at home. I grew up using firecrackers. The New Year firecrackers wrapped around my body, the bigger the stool. Pie means making a lot of money next year.

On the third day, the process of making sesame pancakes is cumbersome. It requires at least 5 workers. If not, ask neighbors for help. Look at the picture. It tastes fragrant, crispy, sweet, and delicious. It's amazing, as long as you take one bite, you will never forget it for the rest of your life. Sesame cake is a must-have here? It is mainly made to give out to relatives.

The fourth day is the Chinese New Year. Our village has a rule that you can prepare meals after 12 noon on that day, and then go to the main ancestral hall to worship your ancestors and say to your ancestors: Chinese New Year. Come on, eat more, and bless me to make more money next year. After praying, I went outside to set off firecrackers.

On this day, every household will cut chickens and ducks, and cook the meat themselves. Some people pay homage to their ancestors early and have dinner at around 3 p.m. My family has dinner around 5 p.m. This is the most abundant meal of the year, and everyone in the family eats it deliciously.

After dinner, I post couplets when it gets dark, then turn on the lights in the room, turn on the TV, watch the Spring Festival Gala, play cards or mahjong, or go to the neighbors' houses.

Our village has built a new basketball court. On New Year’s Eve, it was very lively outside. The villagers gathered there, got a stereo microphone, and sang loudly at the top of their lungs. It was simply ridiculous. .

At 12 o'clock in the evening, each household began to set off firecrackers, and then set off fireworks. The children were enjoying themselves. When the white smoke slowly dissipated, each household sent a representative to give a message to the owner. Tea is served to the ancestors in the family's ancestral hall, and the tea service lasts for half a month until the end of the Little New Year.

What is meant by serving tea is to put home-prepared pastries, such as sesame cakes and fresh fruits, on a plate, bring a small pot of hot tea and teacups, and place them on the big table in the ancestral hall of the lord's family. , pour a cup of tea and put on the incense stick. Take it in the morning, take it back at 6pm, and repeat for 15 days.

On the night of New Year’s Eve, the lights of thousands of houses are always on. Those who are sleepy go to bed, and those who are energetic play all night. They get up at 6 o’clock the next morning. The adults give out red envelopes and the children receive them. If If children don't say auspicious words, adults will not give red envelopes. For example, they should say: Congratulations on getting rich, good luck and good luck, and you will get richer and richer during the New Year.

After breakfast, we prepare meals and also go to the Zhu’s Ancestral Hall to pay homage to our ancestors. Our village is quite special as we moved from other places, so after breakfast, people in our village have to go to other places to pay homage to our ancestors. My ancestors, when they came back, they went to the town to watch the lion dance. After that, they went to watch the basketball game between our town and the neighboring town. Then they went shopping and bought new clothes.

In the next few days, I will visit relatives and good friends I haven’t seen for a long time. There is also a custom in the village that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, only vegetarian food is allowed. I don't have much time to go home. As soon as I come back, I hang out with my classmates who care more about me, and occasionally attend class reunions.

In addition, with the help of this topic, I would like to give a suggestion to the children outside: find some time, find some Space, come home often, you don’t have to wait until the Chinese New Year to go home!
