Of course, all these work are done by women. Ye Yuze wanted to interfere and was kicked out of the kitchen by his grandmother. Men did not enter the kitchen and women did not serve the table. This is a rural rule. However, this means that when there are guests, if a family eats, the woman will not serve the table, then there is no way to eat it.
Grandma now has three daughters-in-laws. The most specific manifestation of the team growing is that she can talk and not act. Only when she thinks her daughters-in-law are stupid will she demonstrate it personally.
However, now that my daughter-in-law is pregnant, her belly is erect. She can’t let her do her strength work anymore. After enjoying this preferential treatment, her belly is getting taller and taller.
On the mute window next to the stove was covered with statues of the Kitchen God and his wife. In front of them was a plate of sugar balls made of sweet potatoes. This sugar is not sweet, but very sticky. It is said that the Twenty-Eighth Kitchen God has to go to heaven to meet the Jade Emperor every year. In order not to let him say bad things at home, he used this sugar to stick to his mouth with a candy melon.
Ye Yuze is also one of the happiest people now. Because his mother and father forced him to read books, his grandmother immediately scolded: "What book is reading? My grandson can do everything without reading books. What should I do if I am dumbfounded by reading books?"
Ye Yuze was moved and burst into tears. This Empress Dowager is wiser than the Empress Dowager! Seeing her mother lower her eyebrows and being a young wife there, Ye Yuze felt that it was better to be her hometown and her waist was straight!
It was the men's business to visit the grave at the afternoon of 30. After lunch, they pasted the couplets and waited until after four o'clock, their father, brother three, and brother Ye Yuze. In addition, the little guy Ye Yuwang, who had just left at the uncle's house, eight men set off firecrackers in the cemetery for three hours. They didn't go home until there was no movement in other people's cemeteries.
Although my grandmother was at home, she could hear the movements on the grave clearly. She knew that her family was overwhelming the heroes and waved her hand: "Eat the New Year's Eve dinner!"
The custom of my hometown is to eat buns on New Year’s Eve, but it refers to the staple food of buns. How could the Ye family lose their portions now? There are chickens, ducks, fish and meat on a table.
The fourth brother also put together a large bowl of homemade barbecue. Today, the little guy was selfless and dedicated. Before he could even hold a piece for his grandma, how could he chew this? He rolled it in his mouth a few times before swallowing it, and then kept praising it for its deliciousness.
The saying of staying up to the New Year at 30 does not mean that you don’t sleep all night, but that you can stay after twelve o’clock, so that you can welcome the New Year. However, most people don’t sleep because they want to pay New Year’s greetings.
The sooner the New Year greetings in the village, the better. This means that the family is diligent, so people have been greetings since 3 a.m.
The most passionate thing about this is the children. They change their new clothes early and wait for the adults to issue orders to greet the New Year. Although they are almost kowtowing, they will never surrender.
The main thing is that you can give New Year’s greetings, but if you have a far-reaching relationship, you can make some delicious food without giving New Year’s money. No matter how stingy a family is, you should be generous.
It’s just that there is a rule that Ye Yuze is not adapted to, that is, he is not allowed to sweep the floor or go to the toilet. It’s okay to sweep the floor, but this toilet can’t stand it!
It turns out that before the sun comes out, there is a kind of god that will appear in the toilet, called the God of Tu. When you meet this god, you will have bumps all over your body. Although Ye Yuze is not afraid, he can't make his grandmother uncomfortable? So when he is anxious to pee, he has to lead his younger brothers to the gate to release water collectively. As for how the women solve this problem, he doesn't know.
After dinner, people began to get together in groups of three or three. Mahjong was not popular in the north at that time. Men gathered together to play Paijiu, which was the black one with black and red dots engraved on it, which was larger than mahjong but much thinner.
There are two ways to play this kind of card, one is called Gongniu and the other is called Tupaijiu, which is to compare the size of the dot.
A group of women came to my house to find my grandmother to fight long cards, which were the colorful cards that were painted similar to mahjong. These cards were usually played by women.
The men gathered in the old uncle's house to promote Paijiu. The uncle didn't play gambling, and he didn't play big or big. Ye Yuze joined the fun with his uncle, but after playing for a while, he lost several dollars. It turned out that he could only count points, but these four cards needed to match him. They also divided into four types of heaven, earth, human and goose, such as three diamonds and six sets. The Emperor's devil made Ye Yuze confused.
He can only follow others to suppress it. He will pick up money when he picks up money, and he will lose money when he loses. But Ye Yuze is not satisfied with this way of playing. That is, when anyone is in the banker and deals the cards, he will limit the amount of money. The banker calls the pot, which means that there is only so much money in the pot. Everyone sees it, but he doesn't care about it. But whoever comes up with the pot always costs five or ten yuan, how can he be so patient?
He asked the old uncle to deal the cards directly, and he took the banker to put a dozen RMB in the basket: "No limit, just press it casually! You will pay for as much as you press!"
Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to get rid of all the people soon. Ye Yuze wanted to return all the money to everyone, but was stopped by his uncle. He said that he would play the New Year for the past few days, and he was not allowed to borrow money at the poker table. If you give it back, they would continue playing, and use your money to beat you. This is boring.
Grandma's card table didn't fall off until nearly twelve o'clock, and some places had to eat dumplings at twelve o'clock, but there was no custom here, so you had to get up before eating.
At three o'clock, the sound of firecrackers began to sound in the village. The sound of firecrackers told everyone that the dumplings were cooked and they started to pay New Year's greetings after eating. Every household rushed to cook dumplings and set off fireworks, otherwise they would be laughed at if they knocked on the door and didn't open it.
People in this village all come up to pay New Year's greetings before dawn, because they start to pay New Year's greetings to relatives in other villages after dawn. This number is not based on distance, but on the relatives. The closer they are, the earlier they go.
In the past, Ye Yuze really didn't know that there were so many relatives in his family, such as aunt, aunt, uncle, and cousin.
In rural areas, we always pay New Year's greetings in the morning, and we don't pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon. We play cards at home, and close relatives need to stay for dinner. Originally, Ye Yuze had to prepare more snacks and wanted to put some at each house. As a result, after transferring them for several days, there were still two boxes of snacks in his hand, but I don't know how many times I changed them.
It turns out that when we greet New Year here, we should not let our relatives go empty-handed. We should either take away what we bring, or accept yours, and then give you a box for you to carry and continue shopping.
At that time, New Year's greetings were the real New Year's greetings. When you arrived at someone's house, the elders were sitting on the kang. After you entered the door, you had to shout: "Grandpa and grandma wish you a New Year's greetings, then kneel down to the old man and kowtow three times to the north."
