And she couldn't eat the dumplings at all. She just held them in her mouth, and then bit them with her teeth. The meaty taste was in her mouth, and the rest was eaten by her mother Huang Lihua. Compared with other children, Xiao Yiyi was able to bite through the dumplings.
It's already amazing.
It’s time to eat frozen pears after the New Year’s Eve dinner!
Due to the cold weather in the Northeast, some fruits have a different flavor after being frozen. The most common ones are ice pears and frozen persimmons. It is understood that the purest ones are frozen autumn pears. In the north, there is a kind of pear called autumn pear. This kind of pear
It was sour and astringent when it was first picked, so people picked the pears and placed them directly under the tree, covering them with a layer of leaves. After freezing, the autumn pears were sour and sweet, with plenty of juice. Before eating frozen pears,
Thaw in water. Eating this kind of pears after the New Year's Eve dinner can relieve hangover and relieve greasiness.
It's just that in this era of lack of food and clothing, it's not easy for a family to eat a frozen pear. Basically, two or three children share one, but this is enough for the children to be happy. This is the helplessness of the era!
This night, the old Liu family spent a warm night watching the New Year's Eve. The fourth brother and his son stayed by the side of Liu Changhe and Huang Chengfang. They all said that they have both sons and daughters. Huang Chengfang has been missing a daughter in his life, so he is particularly rare for her. But
She didn't like the little girl's upbringing, so she loved this little Yiyi to the core!
Early the next morning, all the children came out to pay New Year greetings to their grandparents. Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu prepared a red envelope for each child. Each child received a quick payment, no one had more and no one had less.
Don’t underestimate this one dollar. This one dollar can buy a pound of pork, and other people may only have 10 or 20 cents, so one dollar is a huge sum of money!
"Thank you, grandparents!"
The children were very happy. What they looked forward to most during the Chinese New Year was the red envelope. Although the red envelope had to be handed over to the adults in the end, the adults would always give them six cents and two cents and buy a bag of candies. Could they?
are you happy!
On the first day of the new year, there will be various activities such as stilt walking, Yangko dancing, and ice lanterns in the county. It takes at least an hour from Xiahe Village to the county, but during the New Year, everyone wants to see the excitement.
, not to mention that this day is the day that children are most looking forward to. Parents will not stop them and will take their children to the county town to watch the excitement!
Early this morning, after breakfast, Old Man Liu and Mrs. Liu's family took their children to the county seat to watch the activities. Last year, because little Yiyi was just two or three months old, they didn't go. This time, little Yiyi
Yi was wrapped up like a ball and went to the county town to watch the excitement!
"Dad, hurry up. If it's too late, you won't be able to see the stilts anymore!"
Liu Yihan's child shouted unhappily, "It's too slow. Brother Shuanzi and the others have left. If they were a step later, they wouldn't be able to see a good spot. Liu Yihan liked walking on stilts in the county the most. It was his first time."
Look, it was the year when he was five years old. Last year, my little sister’s family didn’t go, so I couldn’t miss it this year!
"We'll set off right now. Why worry? You can still run away on stilts, you little turtle!"
"Weiguo, please give me a break during the Chinese New Year!"
Mrs. Liu's face turned pale. Liu Weiguo didn't dare to say anything anymore. How could his mother be the final boss?
"Hey, I know, tease him!"
"Poof!"
When Liu Weiguo saw his youngest son laughing, he wanted to slap him, but when he looked at his mother next to him, he didn't dare to move. This old lady!
As early as 500 BC, stilts have been popular. Performers not only walk with long wooden legs tied to their feet, but also jump and dance with swords. There are three types of stilts: stilts, medium stilts and running stilts. The tallest one is more than one foot.
According to records in ancient books, stilts in ancient times were all made of wood. A support point was made in the middle of the planed wooden stick to place the feet, and then tied to the legs with ropes. Performers standing on stilts can perform sword dances and splits.
, jump on the stool, cross the table, perform Yangko dance and other actions.
In the northern stilt yangko, the characters played include fisherman, matchmaker, silly boy, second brother, Taoist nun, monk, etc. The performers look funny and can arouse great interest in the audience.
On the contrary, the stilts in the south mostly play roles in operas, including Guan Gong, Zhang Fei, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Zhang Sheng, matchmaker, Jigong, gods, and clowns.
They performed and sang, lively, laughing and having fun, as if they were walking on the ground. It is said that walking on stilts was originally developed by ancient people who tied two long sticks to their legs in order to collect wild fruits from trees for food.
A kind of rocking activity.
Stilts are popular in the Northeast. In the entire Heilongjiang Province, although Tonghe County is only a small county, Tonghe County's stilt yangko is famous for being beautiful and fun.
They sing Yangko with a two-story shape, which means "peace and peace". They then run around the field and change formation patterns, and then perform double dances in groups, "Flying Butterflies", "Fishermen Fishing" and perform folk operas, etc.
In the past, every first month of the lunar calendar, teams of stilts would pass through the streets amidst the percussion music of waist drums, small gongs, and big and small hairpins. The number of people in a group of stilts was uncertain, usually more than a dozen. The taller ones were on low stilts.
Short people walk on stilts. The performers are dressed in traditional costumes. Starting from the path stick, artistic images such as Sean, White Snake, Tang Monk, Chou Po, Jiang Ziya, etc. appear. Because of their humor, fun, ruggedness and joy, and their emotional voices,
It is always entertaining and has always been loved by people.
Every New Year's Day, people from all over the world come here because this day is not only the end of the previous year, but also the beginning of the new year. On this day, everyone will relax and welcome the best tomorrow.
!
Liu Weiguo held the child Liu Yiyi, Huanglihua held the child Liu Yihan, and Liu Yiyue and Liu Yiming had already run to the front. Before they entered the county town, they heard the sound of gongs and drums inside, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival was everywhere.
joy!
"Yi Ming, watch your brother, Yi Yue, slow down and don't get separated. There are many people in the county today, and there must be a lot of kidnappers. Please pay attention to me, or I'll beat you!"
"Mom, don't worry. It's okay. My little uncle is here. I have uncles from the People's Liberation Army here. I think those kidnappers won't be able to walk with us, so don't worry!"
"You brat!" Huang Lihua warned with some worry, "Be careful!"
Looking at her second son who had already run away, Huang Lihua frowned, while Liu Weiguo on the side smiled and said, "Don't worry, that brat Shui Qilan is the only one who can kidnap him. He's a ghost and a ghost, and there's Yiming here.
Ming is mature and stable, nothing will happen to you!"
"Why are you so arrogant!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to take a look. You don't feel at ease when I'm here!"
"Thank you, fourth brother!"
Liu Aidang reluctantly kissed Xiao Yiyi's face, and then chased in the direction of Liu Yiyue and Liu Yiming. The two brats turned around and disappeared. No wonder his sister-in-law was worried, thinking that it was not particularly peaceful recently, Liu Aidang
I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. These two brats will definitely be beaten when they are found!
"What's wrong?"
When Mrs. Liu caught up, she found that her eldest daughter-in-law didn't look very good. As soon as Huang Lihua heard her mother-in-law's question, she immediately told her about the two brats!
Old Mrs. Liu was not too anxious when she heard this. Instead, she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Yiming is steady, and that brat Yiyue is smart too. Everything will be fine!"
"Besides, the farmer's boy is very strong, so who might suffer the consequences?"
Huang Lihua nodded. She naturally knew what her two sons were like, and her brother-in-law had already gone after them, so nothing would happen. Now that they were in the county town, let's take a good stroll today!
The two-bedroom and three-bedroom families started their separate activities as soon as they entered the county. Just like that, Liu Yiyi’s trip to the county officially began!
When marching on the street, the formation of stilts adopts a single formation with a long snake formation, and in busy and crowded areas, it adopts a formation of two people side by side. The steps change into a figure eight. During the performance, there are small whirlwinds, flower arms, kite turns, big splits and other difficulties.
Risky action.
Stilt art is still organized and rehearsed in some rural areas during winter leisure. Therefore, the stilts during the Spring Festival are particularly neat and come in various styles!
The Yangko dance performance requires neatness, and the colorful Yangko costumes are eye-catching: all red tops, green trousers, or all pink, with a big bright flower on the head, not to mention how energetic they are. Some Yangko teams
In order to attract the audience, they also invited Tang Monk and his disciples to make costumes of Tang Monk, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng, and let the four Yangko team members dress up and perform. With this move, many children would follow the Yangko team for two miles.
land.
Liu Weiguo looked at the smiling face of his little girl, tapping the rhythm with his little hands, and looking intently at the team walking on stilts and performing the Yangko dance. His eyes were focused as if he was seeing some delicacies, which made people greedy!
"Baby, do you look good?"
"nice!"
Little kid Liu Yiyi nodded hard. They were colorful and beautiful. There were also those weird people who looked really strange. It was fun. It was more fun than walking around in the village. Little kid Liu Yiyi wanted to struggle and touch it.
Clown on stilts!
I have never seen such liveliness before. Although these people wear crude makeup, the smiles on their faces cannot be concealed. The joyful festival makes people indulge in it involuntarily. Although this place is backward,
Although it is poor and isolated, there is peace and tranquility here that I could not imagine before. There is everything here that is not available in the last days. I thank God for allowing me to feel happiness again.
Maybe what grandma said was right. She was really God's daughter. Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but feel grateful. She was grateful to everyone.
For the first time in decades, Liu Yiyi thanked God for allowing her to feel happiness again, to return to her parents and feel the warmth of home.
