New Year’s Eve Spring Festival Couplets Talk about family tutoring for a sumptuous dinner

I was admiring Zitong's face affectionately. She might have felt my breathing, opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw me, she immediately laughed. I hurriedly hugged her tightly. She didn't say anything, and she also stretched out her hand to put her around my neck. In this way, we hugged each other without saying a word. The room was quiet, as if the world had nothing to do with us. I really hope it would continue like this.

"Papa.papa." It must be that someone outside has started to post Spring Festival couplets. Listen, the firecrackers are set off, which is deafening. It sounds like a beat. You can hear the sound without going out and watching. If you don't have to go out, you can hear the sound filled with joy. If it were in normal times, you wouldn't be able to shout no matter how you shouted this child. He curled up in the quilt and slept again and again. But this is the Chinese New Year, they are like setting an alarm clock for themselves. They get up without hello every morning, without even washing their faces or eating food. They run out to call on their friends to set off firecrackers. The sound of firecrackers and the shouts of children have mixed up and broke through the sky, which makes people happy.

Ha! We smiled at each other and got up. We must be very busy today because every household has to write Spring Festival couplets, paste Spring Festival couplets, hang lanterns, and make dumplings, preparing to welcome the new year.

After breakfast, my father brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and the Spring Festival couplet collection that had been used for many years. We agreed to write one for each of us. I will definitely write the first one first, the Moisturizing Pen.

Just as I was writing, my third uncle also brought two pieces of red paper, squatted aside and started cutting, let us wait and write it for him, "Swish swish swish", pen dances silver snake, dragons and phoenix dances, "A sound of firecrackers celebrates the people's prosperity, three spring wine wishes a prosperous life", "Firecrackers change the year two or three times, plum blossoms change the spring four or five o'clock in the world", "Welcome the New Year and the spring breeze blows on the face everywhere, wishing all the happy houses all the joyful houses in the courtyard", "The rain is good and the wind is good for the Chinese paving the beauty, people are diligent in spring early, the earth is basking in the auspicious light", "The rising sun rises in the east and the light fills the universe, the flowers bloom in the earth and the spring is full of the world", "The joy is full of the steps of the courtyard, the spring comes and the blessed land, the triumphant song spreads the rivers and seas and fish leaps on the dragon gate"

These are all posted on the front door, and some banners posted on the small door, the characters Xiaochun and the characters Xiaofu. Anyway, they have made full use of the scraps. They have written them one by one while laughing and talking about them.

At this time, my mother had already boiled the paste, just put some wheat noodles, corn flour, etc., and it became sticky when it was ripe. So, we carried the paste and pasted all the west room, east room, west courtyard, and east courtyard, such as chicken pens, pig pens, sheep pens, valley houses, cellars, etc., one was not pulled and the other was leaking, and all of them were pasted on Spring Festival couplets. However, there was less need to be pasted in the west room because it had been posted at the wedding two days ago. Of course, another important thing was to set off firecrackers. 20 years ago, the eldest brother did this work, and then I was the third brother to do it later. Now it was the fourth brother's turn.

Night has fallen, and the night is the most exciting and anticipated New Year's Eve, and the happiest time of the year. Our family of 8 is not right, it should be 10, right, sitting around the table, with 8 dishes symbolizing good fortune on the table. Of course, chicken, duck, fish and meat are essential. I have been away from home for many years, and I missed the meals my mother made in my dreams, and recalled the delicious food I had when I was young. When everyone was here, I naturally started eating it in a hurry.

The whole family was immersed in the deliciousness of this table. My mother asked Zitong from time to time what she wanted to eat, what her taste was like, etc. Zitong nodded repeatedly and said that it was very suitable for her own taste.

Looking at the dishes on the table, I couldn't help but remember the scene of the New Year when I was a child. At that time, there were basically two large plates of dishes on the table on New Year's Eve. One was a stewed meat slice of cabbage vermicelli, and the other was also a stewed meat slice of cabbage vermicelli. Nowadays, people may sneer and laughed at it. But in that era, for us who could hardly see meat all year round, it was an absolute delicacy. When the children saw the meat, they were drooling. They held chopsticks in their hands, and were eager to try it out, but none of us dared to move the chopsticks first. This is the tutor.

I remember when we were very young, parents taught each set of table etiquette by word and deed. For example, if there are elders here, they do not move their chopsticks, and the younger generation must not move their chopsticks. They must sit upright when eating, and adults cannot interrupt their words and children. This seems small, but it is actually very important. First of all, a person's true maturity is that at a certain moment, he finally understands that the center of the world is not himself. For children, this process may not be shortened. It is precisely because of the love of parents that children have a "world center". But we all understand that this is not good for a person's growth, which will lead to being too self-centered, not knowing how to share, being selfish, and being selfish, and it is difficult to be accepted by the group.

Secondly, every move on the dining table also shows a person's deep cultivation and tutoring. When everyone has a dinner party, people who eat rudely and without any scruples will always keep everyone away from him invisibly. On the contrary, they can gain everyone's favor. Eating is a small matter, but also a big matter, especially in China. How many things are solved from the drinking and chatting at the dinner table?

Every action you do at the dinner table reflects the cultivation and educational ideas of a family. Children who are rude in eating and parents don’t care about it will inevitably make people feel that they have no tutors. A seemingly simple question actually makes children lose many great opportunities to get "opportunities" from others. For future social engagements, it will make children who are just starting to enter the workplace top-heavy and have no way.

Good table etiquette can make children stand out in some social occasions and become a prominent highlight among peers. Whether it is laying a good relationship foundation among peers or finding a way out for future promotion, it is a very important necessary cultivation. As a person, it is impossible to always live in disguise. When the foundation of frequent disrespect on the dining table in childhood is laid, it is very difficult to stand alone in important dinner parties in the future. Therefore, the cultivation of table etiquette starts with "boys' skills".

It was not until my father and mother sat down and picked up the chopsticks to greet us. The whole guy was like soldiers on the battlefield, stretching the chopsticks towards the piece of meat that he had already aimed at, and rushed over like a soldier on the battlefield.

The parents also knew that the children had been looking forward to this day for a long time, so the meat was cut thick and wide, and they didn't even squeeze any oil, so that the children could enjoy it. We stuffed a large piece of fat into our mouths. Wow, it was so delicious and delicious. The happiness revealed between our eyebrows could not be replaced by anything, but we did not notice that the father and mother just silently picked up cabbage and fans, and looked at us with a smile on their faces.

I remember that at that time, I went to the market to buy meat. Everyone told the meat sellers to cut more fat and didn’t want to lose weight, because fat people can refine oil. When I buy it home, I can not only eat meat, but also add some meat oil when cooking in the following days. To be honest, it’s even more fragrant.

After dinner, the Spring Festival Gala had not started yet, so my sister suggested that everyone stop sitting there, or we should hold a small party too?

The fourth brother suddenly became interested and said, OK, OK, why don’t we have an idiom series?

OK, this idea is good, so I started first, the Year of the Rooster is auspicious. The dragon and horse spirit will turn into dreams and dreams will turn into true beauty and dreams will turn into true beauty. What is the auspicious?

When I arrived at the fourth brother, I broke the sentence, haha, fourth brother, you have been eliminated! Everyone said in unison, haha! It was really a response, but I didn’t know that the fourth brother actually played tricks on him. He shook his head and said, “What are you saying? What did you say? I didn’t hear it. Really, isn’t there a saying that those who don’t know are innocent?

Are you practicing head shaking? I don’t know who suddenly interjected that sentence. The whole family was amused and laughed happily in an instant.
Chapter completed!
