Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

After the fourth day of receiving the God of Wealth, it will be the fifth day of the first lunar month.The fifth day of the first lunar month is also called Po Wu, to catch up with the "five poor".I got up early this morning, and Grandpa started setting off firecrackers.It is placed inside and out, and walks out while placing it.Grandpa said that this is to drive out all the unlucky things in the house.And Ah Mo started to clean the house, because the broom was not allowed in the house from the first day of the new year, so when it can be cleaned today, it has to be cleaned well.I still eat dumplings on the fifth day of the lunar new year. Fortunately, there are more dumplings made at home on the [-]th day of the new year, so the morning meal on this day is dumplings.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Father and the others would go to the fields and mess around in the fields, as a sign of the start of spring plowing.I also heard that this day is the busiest time in the town, because most shops will open on this day.At that time, there will be firecrackers everywhere in the town.It was as lively as New Year's Eve.On this day, the most popular are boys over the age of 12.Because twelve is twice as many as six, it is called "Liu Liu Da Shun".The children in Xiao Yuer's family are not 12 years old, so there is nothing wrong with them.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, it is the legendary "people's birthday".This day is known as "Man's Day".Today's custom is to eat pancakes.At home, Ah Mo used eggs, flour and yellow grain noodles, and spread out two kinds of pancakes.When Xiao Yuer saw it, he made another kind of pancakes. He mixed the eggs with flour and yellow-grain noodles, and added minced meat. The pancakes made in this way felt more flavorful.Everyone also likes to eat.

On the seventh day of the seventh day, we also eat "Seven Treasure Soup".At home, Xiao Yuer used polished rice, a small amount of yellow-grained noodles, eggs, some vegetables and meat, and boiled them together to make a soup for drinking.Xiao Yu'er found that the food made in this way is also very delicious.All kinds of things are mixed together, fragrant, smooth and delicious.Xiao Yuer drank two bowls before stopping.I heard from Ah Mo that eating this kind of soup on this day has the effect of eliminating evil spirits and preventing all diseases in the family.Of course, this is just a good wish, Xiao Yu'er doesn't care about these things, just listen to it, find out, and know what to do when the time comes.He is mainly interested in food.

The ninth day of the first lunar month is the "day of heaven", and every household must worship the sky.Xiao Yu'er's family also carried a small table to the courtyard dam, put some dishes made of chicken, duck, fish and pork, and then worshiped to the sky with wine.This work is done by Grandpa.Then, the children in the family were warned by Ah Mo not to quarrel with others outside, and to be kind, otherwise they would offend the gods.

The tenth day of the first lunar month is the "stone's birthday", and every family must keep "the stone still" on this day.Stone mills and other utensils made of stone will not be used at home on this day.

The eleventh day of the first lunar month is "son-in-law day". On this day, the father-in-law's family will entertain the married brother and his husband.The father and uncle at home will not go to the father-in-law's house this time, and they have already agreed when they went in the second day of junior high school.Just wait at home for Shen Yun and Shen Qing's family to come over.This time, the two of them will bring their children together, planning to stay at Xiao Yu'er's house for a few more days, and will not go home until the Lantern Festival is over.

The main reason for this arrangement this time is that they thought that their two families were relatively far away, and they could only come here a few times a year.Just taking advantage of the free time during the Chinese New Year, I stayed at home for a few days, and let the elderly also look at the children.

Of the two children in Shen Yun's family, the eldest cousin is already 18 years old this year, and is the same age as the eldest cousin of the uncle's family.Shen Yun's family name is Zhang, and his uncle's name is Zhang Jin.The eldest cousin is called Zhang Hua. I heard that the marriage was only engaged last year. The younger brother is from the village next door to them.We are planning to get married at the end of this year.The little cousin is called Zhang Wei, and he is 17 years old this year.Shen Yun is preparing to find a matchmaker for him this year. Let's look at it first. It's best to book a marriage this year.After the eldest brother gets married at the end of this year, he can start preparing for the younger one's marriage.

The eldest son of Shen Qing's family is Xu Bai who often goes to school with his elder brother at Xiao Yu'er's house. Xu Bai is 14 years old this year.He also has a little brother named Xu Liang who is 6 years younger than him. He is only 8 years old this year, only one year younger than Junjun.My uncle's Junjun is already 9 years old after the New Year.

After both Shen Yun and Shen Qing's families arrived, the house became even more lively.The elder brother was in charge of entertaining the two cousins ​​and Xu Bai of the eldest uncle's family, and Xu Liang got along well with the three younger ones as soon as he came.Xiao Yuer greeted everyone except at the beginning, and after talking with his cousins ​​for a while.The cousins ​​will be handed over to the elder brother, and Xiao Yuer will start to help father and uncle prepare food.Ah Ma and Grandpa will take a break these few days, and have a good talk with Shen Yun and Shen Qing.

Years ago, Ama tried to spare as much time as possible to make a few pairs of cotton shoes slowly.It was prepared for this time, and it was given to Shen Yun and Shen Qing's children.After several cousins ​​and little cousin Xu Liang got the cotton shoes made by Grandma, they put them on directly.Everyone loves it.He was also very happy to see that the children liked it.

Ah has no time to make Xiao Yuer's cotton shoes anymore, Xiao Yuer's cotton shoes are made by Dad and Uncle.So Ah Ma made obscene clothes for each of the children in the family, using fine cotton cloth given by Lin Zhengze.Xiao Yu'er felt comfortable wearing it, and it was much softer than the cotton cloth I bought at home.In this way, everyone is happy and has received gifts.

After the eleventh day of the first lunar month, everyone began to prepare to celebrate the Lantern Festival.On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, those who can make lanterns will start making lanterns, and those who can't make lanterns will also buy lanterns.However, Xiao Yuer made lanterns at home because Grandpa knew how to use bamboo slices to make lanterns.The elder brother and the others helped grandpa prepare the bamboo slices, and then watched grandpa start making.After the grandpa has finished weaving the lanterns and framing them and drying them, you can put candles in them and use them.If you want to be more beautiful, you can paint and write on the lanterns.

My brother and the others also tried to paint on the lantern.But I was unskilled at the beginning, and I didn't do it very well.Unsatisfactory works were given to a few small ones to play casually.Afterwards, I gradually got better at painting, so I kept them all, and proposed to play when I was preparing for the Lantern Festival.However, my brother and the others taught the most basic things because they were just teachers from the school, and they didn't invite painting teachers to teach them like those rich families.So the paintings made by the brothers are also relatively rough.However, others don't feel it at all.Everyone is happy to see the results.

On the [-]th and [-]th of the first lunar month, there is a "prosperous poultry house".Therefore, some poultry and livestock can be added in these two days.Xiao Yu'er's family only bought cows and piglets a few years ago, and now they can also buy some chickens.However, the village has not heard of any chickens for sale, and does not want to go to the town, so Xiaoyuer's family does not increase poultry.

Soon, it will be the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.This is the first full moon night of the year, and it is also the night when the earth rejuvenates.On this night, lanterns will be lit everywhere, so the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also called the Lantern Festival.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yuer and his family will start making glutinous rice balls when they wake up, which is the Lantern Festival.Because their family didn't have glutinous rice, they went to the town to buy it years ago. Yesterday, Ah Mo had already ground it into glutinous rice flour.Ame is to clean the glutinous rice, soak it in water for about two hours, and then use a stone mill to grind it into a slurry.After grinding, put it in a cloth bag and hang it to drain.After a night, you can take it off when you get up today. At this time, there is half-dry and half-wet glutinous rice flour in the cloth bag, which can be used to make glutinous rice balls.The water-milled glutinous rice flour made by this method has a more delicate taste, so the glutinous rice balls made have a good taste.

Xiao Yuer saw that the glutinous rice balls made by Ah Mo were directly wrapped in coarse sugar, so he made some chicken himself, and wanted to wrap some salty glutinous rice balls to eat.He is going to add some homemade mustard greens and chicken mixed with the buns.He first put the mustard greens in boiling water for a while, then picked them up and chopped them up, and squeezed out the excess water before they could be used.The chicken is also minced, then mixed with mustard greens, and finally seasoned and you can start making glutinous rice balls.

On this day, everyone ate the chicken glutinous rice balls made by Xiaoyuer and liked them very much.In the end, there are still a lot of sweet glutinous rice balls that I was looking forward to eating every year. Fortunately, they have not been cooked yet, and they can be stored for a few days this winter.Xiaoyuer ate up all the chicken glutinous rice balls.

After eating the glutinous rice balls, everyone packed up and was almost ready to go to town.Although it is said that the town will be more lively at night, they will not be able to come back if they stay in the town at night.Moreover, there is no place for so many people to live in the town, and it would be too expensive to stay in a hotel.So, they planned to take the children to the town to have fun during the day, and then came home later.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, the carpenters in the village finally rushed to help Xiao Yuer's family complete the ox cart.Now going to the town, you don't have to take the ox cart of the village chief's house anymore.Xiao Yu'er and his family, together with Shen Yun and Shen Qing's family, were going to go to town in a bullock cart.But there are too many people, I'm afraid I can't sit down.In the end, Father and the others were allowed to walk.The others rode in the bullock cart, and Father and the others followed the bullock cart.Anyway, the bullock carts were moving slowly, so the whole family slowly went to the town.

When we arrived in the town, we could see Jingrong Restaurant opened from a distance.Shen Daniu wanted to put the ox cart in the backyard of the restaurant first, and drive it when he left.The Shen family's ox cart rushed directly to the back door of the restaurant.When the shopkeeper saw that the Shen family had come to town, he said to Shen Daniu: "Put the ox cart here, and you can take the children to stroll around the street. At noon, come to the restaurant for lunch! Treat it as a treat for the young owner. Yes. The Young Master has already told me that you must eat here when you come to the town. It is rare for the children to come to the town, so let them come to the restaurant to have a look."

After hesitating for a while, Shen Daniu said: "It depends on the situation. If the children see other things they like to eat on the street, they will definitely not move. Then they will go shopping and see If you like to eat, you may eat there. You don’t have to wait. If we haven’t come after noon, don’t worry about us. After shopping, the children will come here to rest when they are tired. "He said so, and the shopkeeper agreed.

Afterwards, everyone in the Shen family went to the streets in a mighty manner.The children were the most excited.It is rare for them to come to the town with adults, but now they finally come.I am curious about everything on the street, and I have to squeeze in to see it for a long time.Father and the others think this is not acceptable.Today is fifteen, and there are many people on the street.A lot more than I used to see when I came to town.I'm worried that the children will lose it if they don't pay attention.There will definitely be kidnappers on the street, who specialize in abducting and selling children when there are many people.
