Chapter 305 The Night of the Fireworks Bloom
February 2th is the Lantern Festival again.

The Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, is one of the important traditional festivals of the Han nationality and some brother nationalities, as well as one of the important traditional festivals of the cultural circle of Chinese characters and overseas Chinese.

The history of the Lantern Festival can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty more than 2000 years ago. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was officially designated as the Lantern Festival.Eating glutinous rice balls, appreciating lanterns, and guessing lantern riddles are important traditional activities of the Lantern Festival among the people.

For this reason, as in previous years, he specially came back to accompany his parents to celebrate the Lantern Festival, which symbolizes reunion.

In Chen Zhengqian's hometown, including many areas in southern Guangdong, there is a saying that once the Lantern Festival is over, the New Year is over and it is time to start working hard.

The so-called "different winds for ten miles, different customs for a hundred miles", the customs of celebrating the Lantern Festival in various parts of southern Guangdong are also very different.

People in Cantonese like to go to temple fairs in Guangfu during the Lantern Festival, while people in Foshan like to walk on Tongji Bridge, because there is a saying in Foshan, "Walk through Tongji, and there will be no closure", which means that after completing Tongji, there will be no worries and everything will go smoothly.

In some areas in western Guangdong, there will be an annual rule, and each family will invite relatives and friends to eat and drink for free. The more guests come, the happier the host family will be.

So, what kind of Lantern Festival customs are there in Chen Zhengqian's hometown?
The first is the chandelier.

Because "deng" and "ding" are homophonic, it means adding children to the family.Anyone in the village who gave birth to a boy last year will hang a lantern in the ancestral hall from the [-]th to the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

And on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after twelve o'clock, after the lanterns are put down, everyone will start looting all parts of the lanterns, from colored paper to skeletons, and even lamp oil wicks.

Because everyone hopes that their family can have more children and grandchildren, and the population will prosper.

The adults will put some pendants of lanterns on the bedside of the children, hoping to bless the children to grow up healthily.

The second is to place Dingjiu.

The family that gave birth to a boy last year will hold a banquet and invite relatives and friends to be guests.Dingjiu is something that should be displayed more if you have money, and less if you have no money. No one will not display it.Unless it happened that an elder in the family died in the previous year, the offense will be cancelled.

In the past, life in the countryside was poor, and only after the birth of a boy was served. Now that the living conditions have improved, it is also possible to serve after giving birth to a girl.

Strictly speaking, Dingjiu is available from the tenth day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month. The customs of each village are different. Some villages start on the tenth day of the first month, and some on the fifteenth day.

Of course, no one says anything about rich people from eleven to fifteen.

The third is to set off fireworks.

Although fireworks are prohibited in cities, they are still allowed in rural areas.It seems that some small cities can also set off fireworks.

Taking Chen Zhengqian's hometown as an example, after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Emperor Huaguang, the God of Land, etc., they began to eat the annual meal.It is also at this time that the fireworks start. From eight o'clock in the evening until twelve o'clock, it is the collective fireworks time in the village.

In short, the fireworks can't stop.

Private individuals can also join in, the bigger the better.

Rural areas don't like to watch lanterns and guess lantern riddles. If the older generation of farmers can recognize their own names, it's already good. How do you expect them to know how to write and write?

The fourth is to eat glutinous rice balls!

Tangyuan is a must-eat food during the Lantern Festival. In some places in the north, it is called Yuanxiao, but they are actually the same thing.

There are various flavors of glutinous rice balls, depending on personal taste.

Dad has already bought fireworks and firecrackers. When the ancestors are worshipped in the evening, the firecrackers must be set off together with the whole village, and the sound of firecrackers cannot be stopped.

The fireworks were reserved for the evening. Chen Zhengqian moved them to the open space inside the resort and set them up, waiting for the dark feast to begin.

"Xiaoqian, are you done?" Dad shouted.

Chen Zhengqian replied angrily: "What is there to worry about?!"

Dad was speechless.

When the first firework in the village rose into the sky and exploded loudly, Chen Zhengqian and his parents went up to the roof of the building together. This is the best place to watch the fireworks.

Tonight is still a southerly wind, and the dust from the fireworks cannot be blown here.

Dad asked: "You are coming up too, so who is going to light the fireworks?"

Chen Zhengqian said lazily: "I asked two parrots to do it."

Mom and Dad: "..."

Chen Zhengqian said: "Don't worry, they are smart!"

Chen Zhengqian is very relieved about them, just light a fire, what can be done by grabbing a stick of incense, if you can't do this well, then take them both to make soup!

"Chirp—"

The first firework was successfully ignited, and a bright light quickly shot up into the sky tens of meters high, and then exploded with a "boom", and the sky was full of fireworks.Fireworks flew into the sky one after another, exploding one after another.

Mom and Dad looked at the fireworks all over the sky in surprise, and always felt that the fireworks at home were much more beautiful than those in the village.

After watching for a while, Chen Zhengqian secretly answered the phone: "Hey, are you done?"

"It's done, just wait for your notification, Mr. Chen."

Chen Zhengqian nodded, looked at the time, and said, "Then let's start at 08:30."

The other party replied: "Okay, I understand!"

Chen Zhengqian put down the phone.

At 08:30, he called Qi Weiwei: "Hello!"

"Hey, I'm watching TV. What's the matter?" Qi Weiwei was curious about what happened when he called now. Didn't he go home already?

Chen Zhengqian smiled and said, "Happy Lantern Festival!"

After hearing this, Qi Weiwei raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "I'm not very happy. Xiaoyu and I live in such a big house, so it feels empty."

Chen Zhengqian's heart felt hot when he heard it: "Then shall I rush back to accompany you now?"

Qi Weiwei said coquettishly, "What are you talking about, I don't want you to accompany me!"

Chen Zhengqian pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay then, take Xiaoyu upstairs and wait, I have a gift for you."

"Gift?" Qi Weiwei was stunned. She was looking forward to the gift going upstairs.

"By the way, it's cold at night, you wear multiple coats." Chen Zhengqian reminded.

Qi Weiwei felt warm in her heart when she heard that.

He went up to the top of the building with little loli in his arms, and sat on the deck chair on the top of the building.

Little Loli asked: "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Qi Weiwei replied: "Your father said there is a gift for you."

"What gift?" Little Lolita asked strangely.

"Yes……"

Just as Qi Weiwei was about to say something, there was a sudden "chirp" sound, a ray of light rushed into the sky, and suddenly exploded with a "boom", and the sky was filled with fireworks and flames.

"Wow, what a beautiful firework!" Little Loli shouted excitedly.

Qi Weiwei stared blankly at the fireworks blooming all over the sky, and realized that she didn't know what to say.

Is this the gift he is going to give himself?

It is estimated that no woman can feel indifferent to such a gift.

Her whole heart is about to melt.

This night, fireworks exploded.
