Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

Last night, that is, New Year's Eve, during the night vigil, Xiao Yu'er really persevered to the end.Although he was almost a dead fish by dawn, he still insisted on not falling asleep, even after being persuaded several times by Father and the others, he still didn't go to sleep.Finally, it was the arrival of the first day of the new year.

Early in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month, just after the sky had lightened for a while, Xiao Yuer heard the sound of firecrackers from the neighbors.When Xiao Yu'er and the others started cooking the morning food, they also set off firecrackers before eating.At this time, there are more and more people setting off firecrackers outside, and the villagers of Shenjia Village use the sound of beeping firecrackers to get rid of the old and usher in the new.The sound of firecrackers brought out a festive and lively atmosphere, bringing joy and auspiciousness to people.

Xiao Yu'er's family put on new clothes when they got up together, and then they all paid New Year's greetings to each other.Several children, including elder brother and Xiao Yu'er, got red envelopes when they kowtowed to their elders for New Year's greetings.Although not many, everyone was very happy.After eating the morning food, it's time for the folks to pay New Year's greetings to each other.In Xiaoyuer's house, his father took the male to the patriarch, village head and clan elders' homes to pay New Year's greetings first, and then went to other villagers' homes.The three little guys must take it with them. Before they left, they emptied their clothes and prepared to pack peanuts, melon seeds and other snacks when they went to pay New Year's greetings.

Xiao Yuer stayed at home with Ah Mo, Dad, and Uncle at home, and then began to prepare snacks.Someone will come to pay New Year's greetings in a while, so prepare red envelopes and snacks.This kind of red envelope is usually filled with a few to ten copper coins, which is a gift from the elders to the younger generation.Xiao Yu'er put the preserved fruits, fried peanuts and melon seeds that he could get out of the house into pots and put them on the table.

Because Shenjia Village always pays New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, the villagers first start at the patriarch's house.Only after coming out of the patriarch's and several clan's old homes will I go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.Because boys visiting other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings can have a good meaning, so all families welcome boys on this day.It can be said that this should be the time that children look forward to the most.Just go to any shop and say a few auspicious words, and you can get a red envelope with a copper plate, or if there is no red envelope, snacks will definitely be given.

At Xiao Yu'er's house, not long after Father and the others left, New Year's greetings came one after another.Xiao Yu'er was busy filling snacks back and forth, and at the end, he didn't need to load it himself, and let the children take it by themselves.It's just too busy.Ah Mo will give each of these children a red envelope, which contains a copper plate.The boys who came here at the beginning were all brought by the family's father, so they will give red envelopes.Later, when the children go to New Year's greetings in groups by themselves, they may go to other people's homes repeatedly. At this time, the host will not give red envelopes, and will only give the children snacks.

After Father and the others came back with their brothers, the family started cooking lunch.The three little ones are still outside with a group of boys in the village, paying New Year's greetings and getting snacks everywhere, and there is a tendency to not want to go home.It wasn't until it was almost lunch time that my brother went out and found them for dinner.After lunch, the children all went out to play wildly again.Father and brothers will also go out to drink and chat with friends they usually get along with.

Xiao Yuer is at home helping Dad and the others to prepare things for tomorrow.The second day of the first lunar month is the day when the married little brother takes his husband back to his father's house.Tomorrow morning, father and father, uncle and uncle will go out with gifts.Moreover, Shen Yun and Shen Qing will also bring their two uncles to pay New Year's greetings to grandpa and grandma.The family had to prepare the presents that my father took away, and also prepared gifts for the two uncles to bring back.

Under normal circumstances, the gifts prepared are double, about two large pieces of pork or two chickens, two cans of wine, and other more expensive snacks.This is for my father and uncle to bring.The return gifts for uncles are actually similar, and it depends on what else the family can offer.

Xiao Yu'er's family prepared two large pieces of pork for father and uncle, plus two chickens for each, and two cans of house wine for each, as well as preserved fruit and deep-fried fried tofu.The return gifts for the uncle's family are usually given according to the amount of gifts they bring, but there is no difference in Xiao Yu'er's house, the return gifts for the two uncle's houses are prepared the same.The types are almost the same as what my father and the others took away, but the quantity will be a little less.

After the first day of the first month of the first month of mutual greetings, the second day of the first month is ushered in.On this day, families with young brothers who are married are busy preparing lunch.As for Xiao Yu'er's family, after eating the morning food, father and uncle carried gifts on their backs, and left with their husband.This time I didn't take the children with me, because I only had lunch at my father-in-law's house and I will be back, so I was a bit rushed.

After Father and the others left, only the children, Grandpa and Grandpa were left at home.The three little ones ran away and disappeared, Xiao Yuer and Ah Mo started to make lunch, and Grandpa went to feed the cows and take care of the chickens in the back mountain.

When it was almost time for lunch, Shen Qing arrived first with her little uncle.Their homes are close, so they came faster.Xiao Yu'er helped unload the presents they brought, and then quickly poured water for them to drink, telling them to sit down and rest.After Shen Yun and the others waited for Grandpa to come back, they and their little uncle paid New Year greetings to Grandpa and Ah Mo and knelt down to salute.After the New Year's greetings, I gave red envelopes to Xiao Yu'er and my elder brother who were at home. The three little ones could only be given after they came back.

Xiao Yu'er also wanted to say a few auspicious words after receiving the red envelope.Xiao Yuer was very happy.This year, she has received several red envelopes!Although Ah Mo usually gives him pocket money, it feels good to get a red envelope.In fact, Xiao Yuer has the most pocket money among the brothers.That's because all the money-making things at home were created by little fish.The family members unanimously agreed to give more pocket money.Everyone in the family also knows that he basically won't come here randomly like the younger brothers in other families, and won't spend money easily.In fact, Xiao Yuer is preparing to raise money, and will buy back any things that can be planted in the space in the future.

It was a bit late in Shen Yun's body, they came in their own bullock cart.Xiao Yu'er happily received another red envelope after they paid New Year's greetings to Grandpa and Ah Mo, and it was obviously more than what Shen Qing gave.Shen Yun's family is indeed better off financially than Shen Qing's.

Xiao Yu'er accepted everyone's red envelopes, so he must treat them seriously.He asked Ah Mo to talk with them in the main room, and asked his brother to help light the fire.Then Xiao Yu'er was going to make some delicious dishes, especially some fried tofu and crispy pork dishes for uncle and the others to try.And when he was going to eat today, he would drink the wine brewed in the space.Uncle and the others seldom come to Xiao Yu'er's house, thinking that it would be good to seize the opportunity to recuperate their bodies more.

Shen Yun and Shen Qing were very interested when they saw that Xiao Yu'er made new food during lunch.By the way, Xiao Yuer told them how to make it, so that they can make it by themselves when they get home.After lunch, they were ready to go back.Because the distance is not close, you have to go early.Seeing that they all like to eat crispy meat, Xiao Yuer added crispy meat to the return gift and asked them to take some back home for the family to taste.

Later, Father and the others also came back.Xiao Yu'er looked at the gifts they brought back, and found that the gifts from his grandfather's house were more valuable.Although the number is about the same, what the uncle and the others brought back is almost the same.It seems that the economy of my uncle's father-in-law's family is not very good.Usually because I am farther away than my grandfather's house, I haven't seen anyone a few times.Most of the younger uncles and uncles took Junjun to see Junjun's grandpa and grandma.

After the second day of the new year, it is the third day of the first month.According to Ah Mo, the third day of the first lunar month is Guzi's birthday, and no rice is eaten on this day.So the family just made yellow-grained rice to eat. Xiao Yu'er felt that it would be delicious to eat rice made of yellow-grained noodles once in a while.This year, most of their family eats two-in-one rice. In many cases, they eat all brown rice, and rarely eat pure yellow grain rice.Occasionally eating a meal like this, I found that the appetite of the family members is also very good, and they all feel good.

The night of the third day of the first lunar month is the day when "rats get married", so most people go to bed early to avoid disturbing the rats.Ahma also sprinkled some rice grains and preserved fruits in the corner of the house for the mice to eat, which was called "mouse pennies", which means sharing a year's harvest with the mice.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, it is the day to meet the God of Wealth.At midnight on the fourth day of the first month, the family prepares fish, preserved fruits, incense candles, etc., and greets the God of Wealth devoutly and respectfully.It is said that the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth. In order to win the market, it is necessary to "receive the God of Wealth" on the fourth day of the first month in advance.The God of Wealth usually offers sheep's head and carp. The sheep's head has the meaning of "auspiciousness".But Xiao Yuer only has carp to offer at home.

When it was midnight, Ah Ma opened the gate, lit incense and set off firecrackers, and welcomed the God of Wealth.After taking over the God of Wealth, except for the children who are already asleep, everyone else has to eat road wine, often until dawn.Full of hope of getting rich, I hope the God of Wealth can bring gold and silver treasures home, and get rich in the new year.

Xiao Yu'er also followed Ah Mo that night, when the firecrackers were set off, he started to fetch wine, and then brought out snacks.After receiving the God of Wealth, I started drinking and eating.This day they sat at home until dawn again.
