The main activity of the Spring Festival is to visit relatives and their families to pay New Year greetings. Pay New Year greetings to the immediate family members in the village on New Year's Day, and go to grandparents' home early in the morning to pay New Year greetings and bring gifts, such as refined fruit and brown sugar. Then other elders and family members pay New Year greetings and bring gifts. On the second day of the second year, I will visit my mother's family, including my grandparents, brother and nephew.
Every time I go to a house, I have to get firecrackers first. Generous people will put firecrackers longer or shorter, which is true. After the firecrackers are set off, the New Year greeting people should shout: "Happy New Year, congratulations on making a fortune!" " He said to the old man, "Congratulations, the more you live, the healthier you are!" "The old man will touch his head intimately and respond:" Congratulations on getting smarter and smarter and going to college in the future! " "Then come to a cup of sugar water; Of course, when you leave, you will also give a little lucky money, or fifty cents, or one or two dollars. I usually have a reunion dinner at my grandparents' house. This meal is called drinking Nianjiu. There is a rich table of dishes, such as fish balls, meatballs, braised pork, kelp, and mixed vegetables (shredded lotus root, shredded tofu, shredded celery, shredded pork and yellow flowers). Fish balls are generally a favorite dish. Generally, there are not enough big bowls, so just serve two bowls. The level of cooking mainly depends on whether the fish balls are well made. We all like to eat tender and crisp, which proves that there are many fish; If some flour is mixed with more starch, we all call this dough "too fake".
Great-uncle occupies a very high position in the family. Dad, uncle, aunt and our younger generation should all go to his old man's house to pay New Year's greetings first. From the time I can remember until I was in junior high school, I would get up early every morning and pay a New Year call to my uncle (that is, my father's uncle's house) dozens of miles away with my father, uncle, elder sister-in-law and aunt.
In my memory, the morning of the first day of junior high school is always shrouded in fog and mist. My father took a large group of us to travel long distances to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. According to my grandmother, her father, that is, my father's grandfather, was a very rich landlord and later lost all his cards. Fortunately, he was not turned into a landlord and a rich farmer. However, her father does not advocate children reading. Although his uncle is an only child, he can't read.
My uncle usually ignores us, but my father will communicate with him. My aunt was said to be a beauty when she was young, but she is still clean and refreshing even when she is old. Uncle menstruation is very enthusiastic about us, full of "children, children". This is rare in our family. Naturally, our parents don't call us so kindly, and neither do our grandparents. They just call us by our first names, and sometimes even call me "Sun" or "Sister". Only in this way, we all think aunt is very kind. When we left, we also gave each of our children 20 cents of lucky money, saying that we would buy firecrackers to play with.
Aunt, grandma and sister are all very capable. My aunt has two children. The eldest daughter later married in Gansu and became a worker. She is the only person in our family who eats commodity grain. She always sends medicine to my aunt, and my mother is always envious. My youngest son, we are cousins, but we are also scholars and teach in a middle school. Marrying a wife is a powerful role My aunt always quarrels with her and occasionally lives in our house.
My aunt is my grandmother and sister. She always welcomes us to visit her home for the New Year. My aunt has four children, and the oldest is a daughter. She is as big as her aunt and beautiful. She's even smarter. She is probably grandpa's matchmaker. Later, she married the son of a relative in her grandfather's family and later became a very rich man. My eldest son and my second son are about the same age as my little aunt, and my youngest daughter, Qiu Zhi, is only one year older than me. I still have to call her "Aunt Qiu Zhi".
The relatives who came from afar in a threatening manner actually declared some kind of identity. People in the village always envy her aunt's family for having so many relatives. My aunt always welcomes our New Year's wine, which should be a great burden for her poor family. However, we didn't realize this until I lived alone and found it difficult to entertain a large number of guests.
I like my aunt best because she is generous. Every year when I visit her home for New Year's greetings, she always gives us a Qvanxian Zhang dollar bill, which is much more generous than Grandma's fifty cents. It took a long time to know that my aunt was also from a difficult family. Later, she was terminally ill, and I went to her house to pay a New Year call to her. She took my hand and chatted enthusiastically, so kind and kind. I didn't make much money at that time, so I gave her 50 yuan, and she insisted not to. At my insistence, she accepted, and she kept greeting me, still full of "son, son".
This winter vacation, I came to my grandfather's home-Shanting, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, to celebrate the Spring Festival. I found that the custom of Chinese New Year here is similar to Changzhou, and the local custom of kowtowing for Chinese New Year aroused my interest.
On New Year's Eve, people steam steamed buns, paste Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, have a family reunion dinner and watch the Spring Festival party. I looked at the big round buns with red dots and dates on the table, and listened to the children outside setting off firecrackers, laughing and playing with grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt and sister. From time to time, I will go out with my sisters and brothers to set off fireworks, throw firecrackers and enjoy the festival!
On New Year's Day, people get up early and rush to pay a New Year call to their elders. The New Year greetings in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province are very special. In Changzhou, it is to say some blessings to the elders and sit at home and chat. In grandpa's house, we should not only send blessings to our elders, but also kowtow to them. I'm surprised. Why should I kowtow? I didn't know why, until I asked grandpa:
"Because Zaozhuang is close to Qufu, Confucius' hometown, and Confucius advocates filial piety all his life, Zaozhuang has also been influenced by Qufu and has great respect for its elders, so it is necessary to kowtow to the elders during the New Year."
As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", since you have come to grandpa's house, you should kowtow to your elders according to the custom here. I didn't have breakfast, so I began to prepare to pay a New Year call to my grandparents. Because I didn't knock my head before, my mother specially prepared a thick cushion for me. I thought it was foolproof, so I plopped down on my knees. I didn't expect this mat to look useless. My head hit the ground with a bang, and a bag appeared on my head at once. This is the first time for me to pay a New Year call to my elders. Although I feel a little painful, I still pretend to be calm and smile and say, "I wish my grandparents good health, a happy New Year and all the best."
The family around me are very happy and say that I am "good". Grandpa was so "hard" when he saw my first New Year call. He said "OK, OK" and helped me up with a smile. Grandma lovingly touched my head and took out a bulging red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into my hand. Looking at my grandparents' happy smiles, I have long forgotten the pain.
This time I went home for the New Year, I not only felt the warmth and affection of my family, but also experienced the unique New Year greeting custom of my grandfather's family. What a kill two birds with one stone! The Spring Festival in year of the snake has passed, and I am looking forward to the Spring Festival in the Year of the Horse and the reunion with my relatives!
Every year on the second day of the lunar new year, my parents and I will go to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings.
We get up early in the morning, put on clean clothes and get ready to go. We bought some new year's gifts for grandma's house in the supermarket, all of which were carefully selected, and then drove to grandma's house.
It was not until grandma's house that it became lively. My brother and menstruation are here, and my uncle, aunt and brother are at home. A * * * adds up to more than a dozen people. At this time, in order to please us, grandma took out the "children's favorite"-red envelopes, and then sent them out one by one. Adults and children are extremely happy after the red envelopes are distributed. Don't worry, it's more exciting. Every year, in order to make us happy, grandparents will let my uncle change a stack of one-yuan Qian Xin tickets, and each of us will pay a New Year call. This year is no exception, but the new face value can be greatly improved, and the number is also increased: one yuan, five yuan, and the fourth set of one yuan. I am a "money fan", and I am a "money fan" who collects old money tickets. Of course, I won't miss this rare opportunity. My eyes are straight when I send money. First, my brother Xiao Xiong, who is very clever, keeps saying, "Grandma wishes you good health and all the best;" Good health and all the best; Good health, all the best ... "While kowtowing, my grandmother handed it out one by one. "Okay, okay, it's my brother's turn." Grandma is going to change partners, and my brother seems to have racked his brains to say everything in his head, but it's not enough, so he asked me and I reminded him a few things, but after all, his brain is not "rebellious." How can I think so much? Grandma just took this opportunity to put the work on my head. "Grandma wishes you a happy New Year; Happiness is like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan; Happy every day ... "After a while, I also turned over the dictionary and had to say," I wish you good health and all the best; Good health, all the best ... "But I still have an excuse:" Hehe, I was also infected by Xiao Xiong! "This time we can make a fortune. After grandma finished her grandpa's hair, she said that she would collect more "nice words" this year and prepare for next year's words. " Well, I'll send it next year. "This is grandpa's money, but Xiao Xiong is not enough. He said, "Grandpa, you should issue a big red ticket after you have issued one, right?" We all laughed, "what! Let's talk about it next year! " "What? Continue to send it tomorrow? All right! Send it again tomorrow. " "Then send tomorrow? Let's talk about it next year! " Then there was a burst of laughter.
Then we strung together several others and all received lucky money, but the biggest losers were the adults: "If we don't give it to others, will others give it to you?" "That's not necessarily ..." A few small preserved eggs said humorously.
Today's harvest is really not small, and gifts only receive lucky money. Who says children are not as good as adults? If you don't work, the lucky money for one day will be more than their salary for one day!
Today is the first day of New Year's Day. I am very happy because I am one year older, but this year is different from last year.
Because I have a lovely little sister by my side. Her name is Zhai, and she is the daughter of a sister who works in Fuyang. She has been following me for two weeks this year. Her sister called me short and cute. After eating jiaozi, I came to my grandparents and said, "Happy New Year, grandparents! Good health! Longevity! " I knelt down and kowtowed to my grandparents. Grandma looked at me and kowtowed, pulled me into her arms, kissed my cheek and said, "Good boy, my grandparents also wish you a happy New Year!"! Learning and progress in the new year, the longer the more beautiful! " Then he took out a red envelope for me. I said, "Thank you, grandparents!" . Xiao Zhang Zongwei watched me pay a New Year call to my grandparents, and she kowtowed to them like me. Because of her young age and thick cotton-padded clothes, she got off first and made everyone laugh. So I paid New Year greetings to my father, mother, elder sister-in-law, second aunt, uncle and sister-in-law in turn, wishing them "good work! All the best! The Year of the Rat is auspicious! " Each of them gave me a red envelope. My little sister also learned from me, and her mouth is still dumb. No one can understand the New Year greetings to them.
After the New Year, we took a family photo as a souvenir.
In my impression, New Year's Day is relaxed and happy. Every New Year, my father buys a lot of salutes from fireworks companies, which is both enjoyable and exciting, and his pockets are full of red envelopes, but it is my biggest headache to visit relatives in various households during the New Year.
This year's Spring Festival travel rush is no exception. I heard that my father will visit his aunt in a nursing home. "There were enough relatives, and another one came this year." I muttered in my mouth. On New Year's Day, as soon as the sun rises in the east, the new year begins. Although I stayed awake on New Year's Eve, I was still full of energy. Before eight o'clock, my father took my mother and me on the bus, probably because of the Spring Festival. Open the window, there is a fresh air, just like a broad hand touching me. My car is driving on the wide street of the whole street. The scenery here is good! "Dad didn't speak for a long time, as if he had said something wrong. I was just about to speak when my father said to me, "Son, do you know who is lonely when we are all happy for the New Year?"? "It is those old people who have no relatives to accompany them. In the future, they must learn to be grateful and learn to be filial. " I remember that a year ago, my father's aunt's brother lost his life in a car accident, and my father's aunt had no support. From then on, my father became my aunt's half son, running before and after every day. Finally, for convenience, her father put her in a nursing home. After listening to my father's words, I looked not far ahead and felt reverence for my father.
After a while, my father's car stopped in front of two broken and short buildings, which should be a nursing home. Our family of three entered the gate and found my aunt's room. I walked on the road full of stones and sand, looking at everything around me, a little ashamed. Aunt was excited and happy when she saw us coming. She took out melon seeds and peanuts for us to eat. Under her warm hospitality, we stayed with her all morning. At this time, I saw her happiest time, and she was about to leave. My aunt held my hand tightly. At the moment when she held my hand, a cold current entered my body and her hand was covered with hard cocoons. I put my little hand on hers and said, "I will come often in the future." My naive words made my parents laugh.
I got on the bus, and the bus has traveled more than ten meters. I accidentally saw my aunt standing at the gate through the rearview mirror, keeping a close eye on the direction of the car. ...
Today, my parents took me to my grandmother's house to pay a New Year call.
As soon as I entered my grandmother's house, I said "Happy New Year!" I also said to my grandma and grandpa, "Good health!" Then, I received many red envelopes. After I gave the red envelope to my mother for safekeeping, I went to play with my cousin. The sand gun is so funny that it will explode with a bang when I throw it on the ground.
Then many of us went to the "Harvest" for dinner, and made an appointment with my uncle's family and menstruation family to set off fireworks by the river after dinner.
I am looking forward to the fireworks blooming as soon as possible, and this moment has finally arrived! We came to Dongping River and put all the fireworks on the ground. I picked a salute like a stick first. After lighting the gunpowder, I held the fireworks stick tightly. My mother told me to be careful, but I'm not afraid at all. After a while, with a loud noise, a golden fireworks flew into the sky, and then red, green and purple fireworks flew out. How beautiful! Later, I took a rocket firework and lit the gunpowder fuse myself, only to see it fly into the sky with a whoosh, just like a rocket launch! After it flew into mid-air, colorful fireworks exploded, and we couldn't help cheering.
I received many red envelopes and set off fireworks today. How happy I am!
It's strange that I saw 1 on the Spring Festival Evening yesterday and woke up at seven this morning. I got dressed, looked at the clock and said. You know, I'm usually a big slacker.
"Hurry up, hurry up, eat jiaozi. I'll pay a New Year call later! " Grandma with a big bowl of hot jiaozi, and smiling. "Well, well, it smells good!" I wolfed down a big bowl of jiaozi, sat on the sofa and watched the replay of the Spring Festival Evening yesterday, waiting for the "big army" to come to our house to pay a New Year call.
There is a custom in our hometown that everyone forms a New Year greeting team and goes door to door to pay a New Year greeting to the villagers. Come to my house first this year. I just need to wait for the "army" to come at home.
Almost everyone is here, and our New Year's greetings have begun! We stood in a few rows in the yard, and my uncle said, "Give the master four bows first!" " "Everyone made four bows together. We made three more bows to my grandparents. After the Chinese New Year, grandma quickly took out peanuts, melon seeds and candy and stuffed the lucky money into the children's hands. Grandpa, bless each other and bow with your hands. Listening to everyone's blessings to grandparents, they smiled from ear to ear and brought some boxes of cigarettes to their uncles. We will go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.
I skipped all the way and was very excited. My brothers and sisters and I talked and laughed, thinking that we would become "monopoly", and we all laughed. And see what the adults are talking about with great interest. The air is full of the smell of Chinese New Year.
We visited one house after another, and my money bag gradually swelled up. We were still laughing and joking, and time passed unconsciously.
After the New Year call, everyone's laughter still echoes in my mind.
At noon, grandma and mom cooked in person and cooked a delicious New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone ate and chatted, and the lively atmosphere of the New Year drifted on the dinner table.
When the sun goes down, the New Year is over. However, 2008 is far from over, and there are still many joys waiting for us to share.
The new year is a festival to forget your troubles and welcome the new year with a new look. You have seen the last few days of 2008, laughter is everywhere, beautiful fireworks are blooming with brilliant petals ... how I hope that in the new year, my study and life can be as beautiful and brilliant as these fireworks!
This year is the Year of the Monkey. On the morning of New Year's Eve, my mother pulled me out of the hot bed and said that I was going to pay a New Year call to my grandparents. I quickly put on the new clothes my mother had already prepared for me and set off in a hurry. I was very happy talking and laughing with my parents all the way.
As soon as I entered my grandparents' house, I gave them a New Year greeting: "Happy New Year, I wish my grandparents a good mood in the Year of the Monkey, good luck, a good sleep and all the best!" Hearing this, my grandparents were so happy that their eyes narrowed into a crack, and my grandmother even laughed. Grandpa smiled kindly and touched my head and said, "My lovely grandson has grown up and is sensible. My grandparents also wish you a happy new year. Come on, eat candy and eat claws! " "I was eating peanuts and biting my claws, and my heart was full of joy. Grandpa asked me again, "Dear grandson, how was the final exam?" I proudly told him: "I got 90.5 in Chinese, 96.5 in math and 98 in English! ""Grandpa praised me and said, "Everyone did a good job. I will give you more lucky money this Spring Festival! ”"
The love of adults makes me smile from ear to ear. My harvest blessing fills my heart with beauty; The lucky money I harvested filled my pocket again. I secretly swear in my heart that I must study hard, repay my grandparents with better academic performance, love my parents and make them live better and happier next year.
The Spring Festival is here again. With the cheers of the children and the crisp firecrackers in the morning, it came quietly again. For many children, the arrival of the Spring Festival is happy. They celebrated the festival by singing and dancing.
Every time I wake up in the morning of the Spring Festival, I think, "If only I could get my parents' lucky money unexpectedly in the morning! Whenever I think about it, I can't help jumping out of bed.
"Setting off firecrackers, posting Spring Festival couplets, wearing new clothes and collecting red envelopes" are several things that must be done every Spring Festival, and this year is no exception. However, New Year greetings are the most interesting. On New Year's Eve, we posted Spring Festival couplets, had a reunion dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
On the first day of the first month, the gate was opened at the prescribed auspicious time, and firecrackers exploded one after another. I am a vegetarian on the morning of the first day of the first month. After dinner, people greet each other with auspicious words. The children are wearing new clothes, playing games happily and trying to pay New Year greetings to the elderly. On the second day of the first month, visit relatives to celebrate the New Year. The next morning, I put on my new clothes and went to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings. Along the way, my father and I talked and laughed and looked at the scenery on the roadside. This is also very interesting.
Paying New Year's greetings is not just for fun, but also for giving all kinds of gifts and blessings to the elders. So, after playing enough, we went to relatives' houses such as uncles and aunts.
Another great advantage of our children is that they can receive a lot of lucky money, which is enough for me to pay tuition for one semester. The new year is to leave the troubles to the old year and welcome the new year with a brand-new look. These days, there are laughter everywhere, and fireworks are blooming beautiful "petals". I hope that in the new year, life and study will be as brilliant as fireworks!
Listening to the wishes of adults saying "get rich in the new year", firecrackers are ringing in my ears, and my heart is so carefree!
New Year's Day composition 10 Today is 65438+ 10/0/. On New Year's Day, I got up early and put on new clothes. Dad took me to my grandparents' house to pay a New Year call.
We soon arrived at my grandparents' house. On entering the room, he said, "Happy New Year, grandparents, and I wish you good health!" " Grandparents smiled and said, "You are one year older and more and more sensible!" "Say that finish, grandma took a big red envelope from her pocket and gave it to me as lucky money. I said, "I have grown up and don't need it." Grandma said, "This is a New Year gift from my grandparents." . I wish you a happy and safe life. "I accepted the lucky money and thought: When I grow up and make money, I must honor my grandparents.
My brother and sister jumped three feet when they saw me coming. We played many games: playing chess, fighting landlords, counting 24 points and so on. Among them, my favorite game is playing chess with my brother. My brother said, "At your young age, I am the champion." The game started, and my heart was pounding like a rabbit. My sister is cheering for me. I used the skills I learned in the chess interest class, such as heavy artillery, Monday morning quarterback, fishing horse, iron gate and grass horse. My brother was beaten out of the water by me and had to surrender. I said to my brother, "You are a proud soldier!"
Happy times always pass quickly. Dad said it was time to go home. I said goodbye to everyone and reluctantly left my grandparents' home.
