The crackling sound of firecrackers opened the prelude to the Dingmao year of the lunar calendar.

As the reform and opening up comes to the eighth year, living standards have improved year by year, and life is full of vitality.

The small mountain village of Jiapigou is also more lively.

The little kids all changed into new clothes, carried firecrackers and candies in their pockets, and ran around the village in groups.

I was also following my own big dog, and my tail was shaken hard. If I performed well, I could mix a piece of candy and chew it.

The adults got up early and cleaned the courtyard, the yard and the avenue, all swept cleanly.

After Liu Qingshan and his family had breakfast, the fourth brother ran out and came back, and said, "Other people are posting couplets!"

"Let's start posting too." Liu Qingshan waved his hand and began to brush the paste.

Soon, Shan Xing came back to report: "The branch secretary's grandfather's house is still holding aisle flag."

Liu Qingshan waved his hand again: "Let's pull the colorful flags up too."

Thumb, Xiaoliu's descendants and Xiaoya also joined in the fun: "The big head family is still posting the word "happy"."

"Our family is also..." Liu Qingshan blinked his eyes. This really can't be posted.

He reached out and rubbed Sun Xiaoya's head: "Xiao Liuzi, explore again."

The three little girls ran out happily again, followed by a happy little fire. When they passed the threshold, they fell to a big horse.

The monkey didn't cry, and got up and ran away. Then Liu Jinfeng took it over and patted her clothes and pants clean, and then let go.

The adults in the room were all happy to look at: It’s the New Year, children are of course the happiest to see the kids, while adults are happy to see them.

"It's still lively here for the New Year." Huang Shuwen also sighed a little.

He lived here for more than two months and actually fell in love with such a mountain village life and didn't want to go back to Hong Kong Island.

Liu Qingshan shouted: "Dear masters, prepare all the New Year's money. I'll make a move first, and I'll be the first to come."

"You are so old, you still need New Year's money." Grandma smiled at her eldest grandson.

Grandpa expressed his support: "As long as you don't get married, you can get New Year's money."

"Then you have to kowtow to give the red envelope!" Huang Shuwen also made fun of it.

"Kowtow, you must kowtow."

As long as these elderly people are healthy and long-lasting, let alone kowtow, they can do whatever they want.

Thinking about it, my mother died early and she had no chance to kowtow.

Bang bang bang, Liu Qingshan kowtowed and said auspicious words one by one. These elders were smiling and willing to pay New Year's money.

"Thank you grandma, thank you grandma Qiuju, thank you grandma, thank you uncle, thank you grandma Wang, thank you master..."

Liu Qingshan pinched a stack of red paper bags in his hand, and swayed at the people behind him, showing off his face.

The remaining Huang Yueming, Lin Qingqing, Lin Qingfeng, Zheng Xiaoxiao and others also wanted red envelopes, but they were a little embarrassed to kneel down and kowtow.

They don’t have the same state of mind as Liu Qingshan: when their parents are there, life still has its origin; when their parents pass, life is only left to return.

"You don't have to kowtow, just bow."

Liu Qingshan didn't force it. Even Lao Cui and Huanzi were pulled over to salute him, and he also got a lot of red envelopes.

Thumb, a few little girls ran in, and when they saw the New Year’s money was paid, they knelt down and started kowtowing. They were young and there was no pressure to kowtow.

Even though he had a furry little paw at the end, he also stretched out to ask for New Year’s money, what happened?

Liu Qingshan patted the little white monkey's head: "Have you kowtowed?"

Everyone laughed happily. Amid the laughter, the elderly sitting in a row on the edge of the kang seemed to be several years younger.

It would be better for Shan Xing and the little monkey to put a red envelope into its little paws. The monkey was impatient and opened the red envelopes directly, took out a picture of great unity from it, and kept showing off.

Liu Qingshan has long been unified for the New Year’s money, all of which are ten yuan, no more.

Most of the others are not short of money, but grandpa has no income, but he has a daughter, so he has already put a thousand dollars in his pocket.

The older generation withdrew and replaced it with Lin Zhi and others. Lu Writer Lu and Hong Yunsheng also made up the numbers.

Anyway, there is no need to kowtow again, give a bow or bow, even if it is a New Year greeting.

Only Liu Qingshan was still in a proper manner, leading the fourth, fifth and sixth brothers to kowtow to his mother Linzhi.

"Get up, you are all good kids, and you all study hard."

Lin Zhi touched the heads of several little girls one by one. It was Liu Qingshan's turn, and he also smiled and rubbed his head, but almost rubbed Xiao Shanzi's tears.

There is nothing in this world that can be warmer and more unforgettable than the mother's caress.

The little fourth and the three little girls didn't feel it deeply, and they giggled:

"My mother, happy new year."

"Happy New Year, Er Niang!"

Xiao Liuzi, like Shan Xing, is called Lin Zhi Erniang.

"Okay, get up." Lin Zhi's eyes were also filled with bright tears, but her face was smiling very lovingly.

Liu Qingshan also stood up and saw everyone looking at him, so he waved his hand again: "Don't be idle. It's the New Year, everyone will make a dish!"

ah?

Those who have never been in the kitchen are confused.

The little old lady stretched out her hand and counted: "Brother, there are too many people, so there are so many dishes on the table."

Well, this is a problem. Liu Qingshan thought about it: "Then take the family as a unit, each family will produce a dish. You three little girls will calculate one, and Lao Cui and Huanzi will calculate one."

It's almost the same, everyone is busy with work.

The kitchen occupied several, including the grandfather Liu Shikui's family, the ones here, the ones from the big brick house, Yang Hongying and Zheng Hongqi's family.

Liu Qingshan also put in a big pot in the courtyard and started to suck his heart and heart. These things are fishy and taste a little bad in the house.

I was busy working hard, and the dishes were served one after another at around 1:00 p.m.

There were four tables in total, two tables on the kang and two tables on the ground, and then I could barely squeeze them down.

The fourth, fifth and sixth sons stood in a row and signed up for the dishes one by one:

"The braised pork ribs made by grandma, well, they are so delicious." Xiao Liuzi also pinched a piece and tasted it.

"The chickens made by grandpa, cousin, and cousin!"

"The big pot of vegetables made by my uncle and cousin!"

The dishes were reported from a few little guys, and they felt appetite.

"What are the dishes made by Brother Cui and Brother Huanzi?"

Lao Cui and Huanzi were so embarrassed that they whispered: "Tear the sweet potatoes."

"Hey, didn't you see Silk?" Xiao Liuzi was young and told the truth.

Everyone was laughing and jokingly sitting, pouring white wine and monkey wine on, Liu Qingshan stood up and delivered a toast:

"Dear elders and relatives, today we are gathered here to celebrate the Spring Festival, let's raise our glasses together."

"I wish the elderly good health and longevity, success in their careers, prosperous business, and progress in their studies. Come and do it!"

There were jinglings and cups clinking everywhere.

Bang bang bang, the sound of knocking on the window suddenly came from outside, attracting everyone's eyes.

I saw a big black head wandering outside the glass window, it was the big bear.

Today, everyone in the mountains came down to celebrate the New Year, so this guy came with him.

"We'll get some food for Big Bear."

The fourth and fifth brother ran out one after another, and Liu Qingshan's advice came from behind: "Don't drink it, if you get drunk, no one can control it."

After eating this meal for more than two hours, the table was removed. The Detachment of Women cleaned the battlefield, and the others went out for a walk and ate a little too much.

When it got dark, the lanterns of every household were lit up, and the boy scouts composed of dozens of children walked from house to house, mainly to make more money for New Year.

These little guys are the happiest to come out of Liu Qingshan’s house, and there are so many people giving money.

The happiest thing is that Brother Qingshan also sent them a lot of fireworks, mainly hand-cranked flowers and spray-colored balls. The little kids like this the most.

The children were having fun while the adults were busy making dumplings. They finished making them early and could watch the Spring Festival Gala peacefully later.

The little old lady brought a handful of steel stews and wanted to wrap them into the dumplings. Liu Qingshan stopped him and replaced them with peanut candy cubes or something.

After 7:30, we started watching the Spring Festival Gala. Now the Spring Festival Gala is still the big meal that people are looking forward to.

After several years of development, the Spring Festival Gala has gradually been established. This year's Spring Festival Gala, the better program is Teacher Jiang's tiger-mouth imagination, and the finale is Teacher Ma's facial features and striving for merit.

What opened the audience's eyes the most was the singing and dancing fire.

The audience has never seen this before, and it feels very novel.

At Liu Qingshan's house, everyone was also watching and discussing. When they saw the singing, the little brother-in-law asked Huanzi beside him: "Brother Liu, why don't you go to the Spring Festival Gala?"
