My Return to Life

Chapter 131: On the first day of the first month, peace and joy

   The first day of the first month of the lunar calendar in 2009, at zero.

   Fangnian’s family happily went out and set off two barrels of fireworks.

With the sound of    ‘bang bang~’, fireworks rose to the sky, illuminating the fields in front of Lao Fang’s house.

   Fang Xin is the happiest.

   took a shower early in the afternoon and put on new clothes. This time even the pants are festive red.

   was brought by Lin Feng to Tongfeng to buy it, a bit foreign.

   was jumping around on the porch, yelling and laughing.

  After a few minutes of fireworks display, they returned home, went to bed each, and got up after five o'clock to ask for money.

   The old Fang family is like this every year, every year on the morning of the first lunar month, they ask for money.

  According to some basis information such as taboos, this year's fiscal time is 60 o'clock, that is, from five to seven in the morning...

   Fangnian went to his room upstairs and fell asleep at the end.

   The last day of the 2008 lunar calendar has passed, Fang Nian is a little bit tired.

  The screen of the phone in the pocket of the jacket lights up from time to time and then goes off.

   Repeated this way several times.

   Fang Nian, who had already fallen asleep, didn't feel at all.

   because...

   The sound was turned off.

   It must be mentioned here that Apple’s physical mute button design is really good and convenient.

   The good work and rest cultivated in the past six months made Fang Nian, who was exhausted before going to bed, still woke up at about 5:30.

   Get up and get dressed and go downstairs.

   Pictured a lucky New Year, Fang Nian changed into the casual singles and dark slacks bought in Shencheng.

   However, the use time of this Shanxi will not be too long, about the morning of the first day of the first month.

   In front of the dressing mirror of the wardrobe, Fang Nian looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

   is not a formal suit, nor is it the same black, but a young light-colored casual style.

   It should not be said, Guan Qiuhe's vision is still very good.

   "Yo! Where is this handsome guy!"

   This is the first sentence of the new year that Lin Feng said after Fang Nian went downstairs.

   Fang Nian: "……"

  Fang Zhengguo followed: "Hey, I didn't pay attention to where I hang it. It looks very western."

   Founder Zhengguo prefers gray suits, and today is no exception, and he is better than ever before.

   Fang Xindianer, dressed in red, ran over: "Brother, brother, you wear a suit like Dad..."

   "……"

   My family does not pay attention to saying Happy New Year.

   After washing, in accordance with the process of previous years, Fang Zhengbin and Fang Zhengguo, two head men, wiped the sky and prayed for wealth and worship.

   There are different exquisites here.

   For example, this year I brought the square table for dinner to the place directly opposite the lobby of the old Fang's house, and put red candles on the chicken, duck, fish meat and fruit incense burner.

   is supplemented by paper money and incense for wealth.

   After the paper money is burned out, it is for money.

   Later, he would set up a table beside the table under the altar in the hall to worship the gods.

   At this time, when the paper money is burning, it is necessary to set off fireworks.

   The sounds of "pop~" and "pop~" sounded one after another.

   The residue of fireworks and firecrackers this time has a festive color.

   has an appropriate name, Man Tang Hong.

   Today’s breakfast is also the most formal. There are twelve dishes on the table, which symbolizes a smooth month.

   will also put a few more chairs and tableware.

   also has chicken, duck and fish.

   also means more than every year, happy new year.

   Breakfast started less than seven o'clock.

   Unlike the New Year’s Eve, the breakfast on the first day of the first month usually ends before 8 o’clock.

   Ms. Lin Feng couldn't stop talking, and said a few words looking forward to the future.

   After breakfast is the formal important traditional link.

   is a total of two links, which can be carried out in parallel.

   One is to walk the street to celebrate the New Year.

   The second is going up the mountain to worship ancestors.

  At the beginning of the century, the surrounding areas of Maoba were relatively poor, and the scope of New Year's greetings was relatively large. It was not limited to the Maoba villager group, but would go to one or two adjacent villager groups, mostly asking for sweets and cigarettes.

  The flavor of the year is stronger than it is now.

   was happier in Fang Nian's memory, and spent most of the morning on this matter.

   This is not the case anymore. Instead, the villager group in Maoba walks the streets to celebrate the New Year, and then brings paper money, incense sticks, and firecrackers up the mountain, starting from the mountains behind the house and walking downstream to home.

   It was originally the neighboring villager group just after walking down the mountain.

In the large area of ​​   Tangli, burial will still be practiced until 2021, and there is no cemetery.

  Because each household has mountains, fields, and land, basically the newly established graves will be marked with tombstones in the mountains allocated to them by the state.

   Generally speaking, on the first day of the first lunar month, going up the mountain to worship the ancestors must complete all the ancestors.

   The oldest ancestor of the old Fang family is called Taizu.

   It is said that this great ancestor is the common ancestor of most people with the Fang surname in several nearby village groups.

   According to the order of the eighteenth generations of ancestors, Fang Nian's great ancestor is the seventh generation ancestor, that is, the grandfather of Fang Zhengguo's grandfather.

   But when the three brothers Fang Zhengbin, Fang Zhengguo, and Fang Zhengliang talk to the younger generations like Fang Nian when they go up the mountain to worship their ancestors on the first day of the first lunar month, they will emphatically introduce this Taizu.

   "This Taizu is our ancestor. Because we can't count the number of generations, we also call Taizu. Your grandpa still calls Taizu, and our grandpa still calls Taizu."

   Therefore, apart from Fang Nian remembering the graveyard of his grandparents, the most clearly remembered is the graveyard of Taizu.

   Although the tombstone of Taizu’s grave is not big...

  …………

  …………

   After eight o'clock, according to the etiquette, Fang Nian and Fang Xin followed Fang Zhengguo and walked into Fang Zhengbin's house to celebrate the New Year.

   "Uncle Auntie, happy new year."

   Fang Nian shouted with Fang Xin smiling.

   "……"

   Fang Zhengbin quickly got up to let go of his cigarettes, while his aunt made tea and poured wine.

   Because Fang Zhengguo happened to be the middle of the three brothers, he would sit at Fang Zhengbin's house for ten minutes, chatting and leaving after drinking a cup of tea.

   According to tradition, today all married women do not go out at home to entertain guests who come to visit the New Year.

   Fang Zhengbin looked at Fang Nian and said, "Nianbao, your suit is just so handsome."

   On the first day of the first month, everyone will be called according to seniority.

   A title with a little ‘bad name’ like ‘Habao’ will never appear.

   either means calling the name, or calling Nian Nian, Xin Xin, or Nian Bao, Xin Bao.

   Fang Nian has a hunch, today there will be more people who say he is handsome.

  Sure enough, a few minutes later, when Fang Zhengliang brought Fang Fenfen and Fang Hai to Fang Zhengbin's New Year greetings, there was another round of praise.

   Fang Fenfen's eyes are even brighter: "Brother Nian, your suit is very different from the one you saw on Tongfeng Street. You are very handsome..."

   According to the etiquette, after Fang Zhengliang finished drinking tea at Fang Zhengbin's house, he went to Fangzheng Country for a seat.

   Finally, the three families went to Fang Zhengliang's own house together.

   After this, Fang Zhengbin led the team to pay New Year greetings according to different kinship, age, and seniority.

   will always go a little longer.

   This villager group is like this in every household.

   In the early 1990s, New Year greetings required real kowtows, of course only those with the highest seniority.

   For example, at that time, Grandpa Fang Nian was still alive, and Fang Nian had to kowtow to his grandfather, etc. The traditional etiquette of the 21st century suddenly disappeared...

  ... After returning home from the villager group, Fang Nian changed into his suit and put on yesterday's down jacket.

   Fang Nian is still very happy.

   Everyone's eyes are really good.

   The next step is to go up the mountain to worship the ancestors. To walk through the woods and grass, the suit is very inappropriate.

   But... Comrade Fang Zhengguo doesn't pay attention to these at all, he still wears a suit.

  The team of going up the mountain to worship the ancestors is very strong. In addition to the three brothers Fang Zhengbin with their sons and daughters, there are also four Fang family brothers with their sons and daughters.

   In addition, the four brothers in this family have a close relationship.

   is about the same age as the three Fang Zhengbin brothers, and the relationship with Fang Zhengbin is the same.

   The grandfather of each father of the four brothers is the cousin of Fang Nian's father.

   Because of the different generations, Fang Nian called the four brothers all the brothers.

   The four brothers called Fang Zhengbin and their uncle.

  Since Fang Nian has a memory, that’s it, it hasn’t changed...

  ...When the three brothers of Fang Zhengbin prepared paper money, incense sticks and other things for ancestor worship.

   Fang Nian also touched the phone in his pocket.

   Then I saw a lot of missed calls and unread text messages.

   The earliest missed call time was at midnight. Lin Yucong called over, maybe a dozen.

   Then the missed call at 7 or 8 in the morning.

   SMS also started at zero, and someone sent it over.

   When I was about to reply to the text message, the call came first, and it was Lin Yucong.

   "Fang Nian, Happy New Year."

   "Happy New Year." Fang Nian said with a smile.

   "The phone is muted in my pocket, I didn't see it."

   Lin Yucong didn’t pay much attention, um, he said twice: "I wish you academic progress in the new year~"

   "So are you, peace and joy." Fang Nian said.

   Lin Yucong had something to say, but in the end it was just a New Year greeting.

   "……"

   When I set off to the mountain, the marimba bell rang again, this time from Liu Yang.

   Fang Nian also said, "Peace and Joy".

   This call was just finished, just as I went up the mountain from the mountain road, the phone rang again.

   Zou Xuan’s this time.

   When the winding mountain road of no more than two hundred meters arrived in front of Grandpa Fang Nian’s grave, it was already the fifth call, and Li Xue called.

   "……"

   Fang Fenfen couldn't help but joked: "Brother Nian, you have too many New Year calls."

   "Walking up the mountain from your house so many steps, I answered five calls."

   Fang Zhengbin joked: "Nianbao is tall and mighty~www.ltnovel.com~ is definitely popular outside."

   Fang Zhengliang also smiled and said: "Fenfen, if you can study like your old brother, there will be a lot of people paying you a New Year greeting."

   On the contrary, Fang Zhengguo did not speak. Although he was also surprised, he really didn't know what to say.

   Fangnian just smiled and said haha: "The students are more enthusiastic."

   Along the way, the marimba ringtone always rang once.

   The first day of the first lunar month, after all, it is a matter of not answering the phone if you are unhappy.

   Fang Nian didn’t know how the number of calls came up. There were 10 or 20 calls from the class 174 and the classmates next door.

After    came back to worship the ancestor, Fang Nian received a call from Guan Qiuhe at the door of his house.

   "Little Fang, Happy New Year."

   Guan Qiuhe said in a relaxed tone.

   Fang Nian smiled and said, "Sister He, Happy New Year, peace and joy."

   "Peace and joy."

  Guan Qiuhe smiled and said, "I wish you progress in your studies in the new year and enter Fudan University."

   "……"

   I had a few gossips with Guan Qiuhe, and after the phone was hung up, the phone just turned off automatically with low battery.
