Chapter 858: Spring in the early morning, dumplings worship ancestors on the first day of the first day

As soon as 8 o'clock arrived, the whole family had already sat around the TV. With a cheer, the long-awaited Spring Festival Gala officially began. This year's party was really new, especially the opening ceremony, which was very innovative and felt a little different from previous years. Anyway, the first fire was very prosperous, and we were immediately mentioned to a peak of happiness. Then, the wonderful crosstalk, the melodious singing, and the graceful and gorgeous dance postures were all endless aftertaste and unsatisfactory. In fact, thinking about it, the reason why our family is so happy and happy is not that the party is really exciting, but that what happened in the past year made the whole family look full of spring breeze and satisfied, and full of endless imagination and longing for the days to come, so no matter what you see, it feels particularly interesting, pleasing to the eye, and particularly fits the soul.

The climax of the whole party was undoubtedly Zhao Benshan's "Selling Killers". How many people were waiting for him, and they kept muttering from time to time, why didn't he come out yet? It can be seen that Zhao Benshan brought so much joy to the people of the whole country. This year, he lived up to expectations. Sometimes he had a burden and a bunch of money, which made both the audience on the scene and the audience with TV money laugh and laughed loudly. By the end, it was almost 12 o'clock, and Zitong and I couldn't stand it anymore. Although there was a stove in the middle of the main hall, it was not useful. We still felt a little cold and numb. My mother took a coat to cover Zitong, but it still couldn't. Besides, it was not too late, so we got up and went back to the west room to go to bed.

When my mother saw that we were back, she hurriedly followed us with a hot pot and flashlight. When she got into the house, she poured hot water for us to wash her face, and was busy with us. She was not until she saw that we were both hot and urged us to get to bed quickly, and then closed the door and went out. When she arrived at the window, she told her that tomorrow, on the first day of the New Year, you two should not get up so early, so sleep a little longer.

According to the rules of our rural areas, in the early morning of the first day of the lunar month, even if the entire village enters the spring mode after 12 o'clock, what is the manifestation? Firecrackers are set off. Everyone is getting up earlier than who is the house and it sets off. Then in the new year, it will definitely be smooth and smooth, and you can get the first place in everything you do. So, the east side has not stopped, and the west side has risen again, which shocked the chickens, ducks, dogs, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, giggles, gi

In fact, when we were just lying down, there were already scattered sounds of firecrackers coming from afar, but we were really too rude, so we ignored these and fell asleep soon.

At around 3 o'clock, I was awakened by the noise, but I didn't move, just opened my eyes in the dark. Soon, Zitong was also awakened. She reached out to pick up the phone under the pillow, turned on it and looked at the time, turned around and saw that I was actually awake. She quickly put down her phone, reached out to stroke my face, and said to me with a happy face, Brother Zheng, touch it, the baby must have been awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and both of them kicked me just now.

I quickly reached out and gently stroked her belly. Sure enough, I rubbed it and hummed slowly, "Be good, baby, baby, don't bother mother, baby, mother should be aware."

Zitong burst out laughing out loud and said, "Oh, you sang so badly, how can the baby sleep?"

I smiled too, kissed her on the face, Zitong said it was a little cold, I quickly moved her to me again, let her put her head in my arms, and hugged her tightly. Hi, these two people were chatting in the quilt in the middle of the night, without any sleepiness. It was not until after 5 o'clock that they fell asleep drowsyly.

When we were awakened by the sound of firecrackers nearby again, we picked up the watches on the bedside table and saw that it was already past 8 o'clock in the morning. When we raised our heads, we had forgotten to pull the curtains last night and shone a ray of sunshine in the window. It had been a long time, and it was a little hot, hahaha.

We looked at each other and smiled, quickly got up, finished washing up, and came to the East Courtyard. We thought we had already gotten up late, but in fact, our father, mother and elder brother got up because they wanted to make dumplings. Others, such as sister, third brother, and fourth brother, were just getting up. Seeing that we were in, my mother hurriedly shouted that they should wash their faces and brush their teeth quickly, saying that the dumplings had already been put into the pot and would be ready soon.

My father was squatting by the door and squeezing garlic hard. When we eat dumplings here, we must use garlic paste and vinegar. This is a small garlic mortar made of clay. Add garlic and large grains of salt to it, and use a wooden mash to mash up and down until the garlic is mashed into a paste. Then add some vinegar to it. When eating dumplings, dip it in a little. Oh, the taste is not mentioned, it is simply the most beautiful delicacy in the world.

There were already several white porcelain bowls with several spoonfuls of brown sugar on the table in the main room. When my mother saw that we were coming, she hurriedly followed us into the house with a thermos, poured hot water into two of the bowls, stirred them with chopsticks, and asked us to drink it quickly. She also said that after drinking brown sugar tea, it will be sweet and smooth in the new year.

The dumplings are cooked

My mother first took four dumplings from the first bowl of the pot, and then put them in four plates on the Eight Immortals table (there have always been the saying "Gods, three ghosts, and four" in folk sacrifices. One refers to the number of offerings, the second refers to the number of incense used when burning incense, the third refers to the number of paper when burning paper, and the fourth refers to the number of kowtows. All this statement is because three is a yang number and four is a yin number, so there is this difference. So why do we have to be more respectful to ghosts than gods, and we have to add one more item? As the saying goes, the King of Hell is good to see, but the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. This is probably the reason. According to the Analects of Confucius. Shuer, the son does not speak of strange powers and confusing spirits. This talk about the gods during the New Year is contrary to the festive and peaceful atmosphere of the Spring Festival. I would like to say it, and you should stop it and use it as a topic of conversation after dinner). Then he prayed a few words.

We all know that this is praying to our ancestors. We have to invite them to enjoy the first meal in the new year, which is also a New Year to them, telling them that their descendants have not forgotten their hard work, and hope that they can continue to bless their descendants to develop, be safe, and shine their families and glorify their ancestors.

I have always felt that people from Europe and the United States have been looking down on us for hundreds of years. From their perspective and their ideas, they have taken it for granted that we Chinese have no beliefs for a long time. Why do we say so? It is because we do not believe in religion. Of course, we also believe in Buddhism and Taoism, but it is completely different from their Western Christianity.

Therefore, they think that we have no faith, which is actually quite superficial. It is precisely because they think so that they feel increasingly incredible about the rapid development of our China over the past few decades, and they take it for granted that this development is unsustainable. People with memory know that since the early 1980s, the remarks about the theory of China's collapse in Western society have emerged one after another, and in fact they are all wrong: we Chinese are the most faithful, and our belief is our ancestors.

First of all, I think that as a Chinese, everyone will have a strong belief in their hearts, that is, I must be proud of my ancestors and make a name for themselves in my life, and must not let my ancestors be shamed.

For example, when we have a conflict with others, we can fight and scold each other, but you must not insult my ancestors or laugh at my ancestors, otherwise I will definitely fight you to the end. It is precisely because of our belief and worship of our ancestors that each of us has a basic moral bottom line in doing things. It is precisely because of this moral bottom line that everyone will not be shameless, act recklessly, and have no bottom line.

As the saying goes, there is a god three feet above your head. What is this god? It is our ancestors. In Chinese society, if someone’s actions are a bit disgusting, then even if he succeeds in the end, everyone will think that this will bring shame to his ancestors, and this is also the greatest disapproval of him.

There is no doubt that this concept penetrates deep into the hearts of each of us Chinese, and is brought out from the womb. Every year, the father takes his son to the ancestors and ancestors, burns incense and kowtow, cultivates soil and builds the tomb. In this process, he slowly implants the belief of being proud of his ancestors and brings glory to the next generation.

Think about it and count it. In the 5,000-year history of our Chinese nation, there are so many people who are kind and ambition who have been generous in order to prevent their ancestors from being shamed and to achieve success. They would rather not have their lives than keep their names in the painting, in order to keep their ancestors from being famous. In fact, this is true. If you have been infamous for thousands of years, you will definitely harm your descendants. Just like whenever we meet someone with the surname Qin, the first thought is to think of Qin Hui. Although they may have nothing to do with Qin Hui, there is nothing we can do about it.

No matter how far away we Chinese are from home or how long we have been away from home, we will always miss our hometown and long to return to our hometown one day. Even if we are not born in our hometown, we will also feel a kind of affection for our father and grandfather's hometown, because our ancestors are buried there and our ancestors are buried.
