Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

Okay, Ji Yi and Yingzi went home, and put up the Spring Festival couplets at her house and hung up the lanterns.

Call up Mr. Han and go to Lin’s house to celebrate the New Year together.

Because the New Year’s Eve dinner is very sumptuous, most families only eat a casual meal at noon during the New Year.

After eating, it was almost time to prepare for the sacrifice.

This is also the most important sacrifice of the year.

In many places, it is also called to invite the New Year.

Usually people from a village gather the tributes from each household together and then offer them for five to ten minutes.

During this period, yellow paper and straw paper will be burned, and firecrackers will be set off.

The oldest man in the village can still mutter something.

Lin Yi and his three brothers went to burn incense and chatted aside.

The conversation was naturally about the customs and habits of their hometown.

There are also some New Year rules. On the [-]rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Stove King must be sent to heaven. On the New Year's Day, he must be welcomed down before the New Year's Eve dinner, etc.

During the New Year period, there will be things to do every day, and you must follow these days.

For example, on the twenty-seventh day, you slaughter the rooster, on the twenty-eighth day, you make the noodles, on the twenty-nine day, you steam the steamed buns, on the thirtieth day you stay up all night, and on the first and second day of the lunar month, you walk around the streets.

They are all made into jingles that a three-year-old can recite.

Worshiping ancestors is also very important.

Every household will share a small bowl of dishes from the New Year dishes to offer to their ancestors.

These dishes cannot be touched that day.

After the Chinese New Year, you can also eat it hot.

After all, it is food and cannot be wasted.

There are many such rules, countless.

Anyway, this has been done for generations.

After chatting for a while, after the ancestor worship was completed, Lin Qingfeng called Lin Yi over to light firecrackers.

After worshiping the ancestors, you can have the New Year's Eve dinner.

It was said to be New Year's Eve dinner, but actually it was already served at around [-]pm.

Pork stewed with vermicelli, catfish stewed with tofu, chicken stewed with mushrooms, stewed goose, steamed carp, dumplings and more.

The richness of the New Year's Eve dinner will be very impressive in future generations.

In fact, few people like to eat carp on weekdays, but this is a New Year custom.

And the fish must be carp.

This was originally used to worship gods.

The carp jumping over the dragon gate is a beautiful meaning and symbol.

Of course, carp itself is also a good sign, indicating "abundance of good luck" and "abundance in successive years."

It is both a delicacy and an offering.

"Come, let's have a drink. The old year has passed, and the new one is about to begin. Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. I hope everyone will be happy in the coming year, and then live a happy and healthy life." Lin Yi raised his glass and made a toast. word.

Everyone raised their glasses together.

"Xiao Yi, did you say something less?" The elder brother looked at Ji Yi with a smile.

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this. Did he say anything less?

"Yes, yes, little brother, just stop talking." The second brother also laughed.

"You and Yingzi will get married in the new year and strive to have a son as early as possible next year. This will also be a great joy for our Lin family." The eldest brother said.

Lin Yi and Yingzi didn't expect Gua to end up here.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Yingzi even lowered her eyes shyly.

"Then I'll fight for it." Ji Yi said with a smile.

Time is a little tight.

If you are pregnant in ten months, excluding ten months, there are only two months left in the year. It is still a little difficult to get pregnant.

It's really rare to have one shot enter the soul.

Many people start preparing for pregnancy as soon as they get married, and it takes several years for the pregnancy to bear fruit.

"Then next year, parents should prepare red envelopes." The second brother joked about Lin Qingfeng and Li Xiuhe.

Lin Qingfeng said that this is necessary.

Eat your New Year's Eve dinner slowly. It is normal to eat for several hours. It is also common to eat from dawn to dusk.

The staple food of New Year’s Eve dinner is dumplings.

There are many sayings about dumplings. Many people will pick out two dumplings among all the dumplings, and then put coins in one and sugar in the other.

See who can eat it. Whoever eats it will be blessed with abundant wealth, happiness and sweetness in the coming year.

But Lin Yi thinks this is not good.

Accidents often happen. Some people like to swallow dumplings directly. If you don't pay attention, it is very dangerous to eat coins.

So at Lin Yi's suggestion, both dumplings were wrapped in sugar without coins.

Sugar doesn't matter.

Sweet, but also a very beautiful blessing.

After eating, we began to watch the New Year's Eve.

Basically, in most places across the country, there is a custom of staying up late on New Year's Eve.

One night makes two years old, and the fifth watch divides two years.

After the whole family had finished their meal, they came to the living room to watch TV and sat together. The table was filled with refreshments and fruits.

Sit around the fire and bid farewell to the New Year.

There is no Spring Festival Gala yet, but there is a tea party on CCTV.

Ji Yi felt bored and took Yingzi out to set off fireworks.

There were not many types of fireworks in the [-]s, unlike later generations where there were all kinds of fireworks.

All the Gatling fireworks are done.

Lin Yi searched several stores at the supply and marketing cooperative in the forest farm before finding several types.

The most common ones are bombarded lanterns and flower boxes.

Cannon lanterns are also called colorful bead tubes. They are cylindrical in shape, about 3 inches high and 5 minutes in diameter. The outer skin is wrapped in red and green paper. The sound when lit is the same as the sound of firecrackers.

It's just that with the sound, a ball of light will fly out and explode in mid-air, which is still very interesting.

The flower box, which is a high-end firework, is a large flat round box.

When setting off the flower box, you need to place it on a flat ground, then light the fuse and stand from a distance to watch.

This kind of fireworks is still somewhat dangerous.

The flower boxes that are set off will burst into beautiful fireworks in the sky.

"Brother Yi, the fireworks are so beautiful." Yingzi looked at the bright fireworks in the sky.

"The flavor of the [-]s is so strong." Lin Yi sighed.

After later generations were not allowed to set off fireworks, the flavor of the New Year gradually dissipated a lot.

Of course, fireworks are not allowed for safety reasons.

In the [-]s and [-]s, hospitals were always full during the Chinese New Year.

There are many people who have been injured or even killed by fireworks.

Many people like to show off their energy, light firecrackers, and then compete with each other to see who can persist to the end. Isn't this pure sand dollar behavior?

Ji Yi also did this kind of thing when he was young, and his father chased him for most of the village with his shoe soles.

After that, he never dared to do it again.

Looking back now, I think it was a real tiger at that time.

It's not easy to live and grow up.

Nowadays, there are not many families in the village who can set off fireworks, only Lin Yi's family and the village chief's family.

The rest of the villagers could only admire and watch.

After a while, some villagers also came to Lin Yi's house to watch TV.

There is a TV at home, and it is much livelier than usual.

"Brother Yi, are you going to worship God tomorrow?" Yingzi asked Lin Yi.

This is also a part of staying up late on New Year's Eve.

Generally, people wait until dawn to burn incense and pray to the gods in the temple, which is called "fa paper".

Then a fire is lit around the temple and called a "campfire" in the northeast, which continues to be lively until the god is received.

Of course, if you don’t believe this, you can skip this step.

Gods exist if you believe in them; if you don't believe in them, they don't exist.

Ji Yi has been there several times before and always found it lively and fun. (End of chapter)
