Hello, 1983

In fact, in Liu Qingshan's view, there are many more relationships that need to be consolidated and deepened.

In a human society, people move more and more, and their feelings will naturally deepen.

So on the second day, he took a list that he had drawn up, found Grandpa Zhi Shu and Captain Zhang, and discussed it together.

"What, giving gifts to the county leaders, is this considered an unhealthy trend?"

The old party secretary has always been prudent, and felt that this seemed a bit inappropriate.

"It's just to send some vegetables to try it out during the New Year, and to express our gratitude to the leaders for their strong support in Jiapigou."

Liu Qingshan didn't plan to give away anything else: a large bundle of leeks, a large bundle of celery, and a few pounds of cucumbers.

Captain Zhang nodded and expressed his support: "Yes, yes, the county magistrate Wang, the magistrate Zheng, and the commune's secretary Sun have all come to visit our greenhouse. Let's take a look and show your heart. It's still very good. necessary."

Well, it seems that this is the same reason, relatives and friends, who have to visit during the New Year, the old party secretary will no longer block it, and leave this matter to Liu Qingshan and Captain Zhang to handle it.

But don't worry, the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month has to pass, and the Chinese New Year is almost here, so I will send the vegetables there.

If it is too early, it will be rotten before the new year.

In the past few days, Liu Qingshan has been slaughtering pigs every day, not even throwing away the pig blood.

The so-called feeder is a kind of small bucket, the bottom is thin and the top is thick.

The reason why it is called this name is because this thing was passed down from Maozi, and it is actually a Russian transliteration, which is the same as the woodcut.

Besides slaughtering the pigs, Liu Qingshan also slaughtered all those Erchuanzi roosters in the family, more than 200 in total.

When the car factory arrives, they will directly pull them away, let alone 200, even if it is 20,000, they can digest it.

The slaughtered chickens are all rolled into a ball.

The average one is more than three catties, and it is probably worth about four yuan, more than two hundred, nearly one thousand yuan.

After removing the cost, he could earn more than 500 yuan, which made the villagers envious.

Many people have secretly made up their minds to start raising chickens in the coming year.

It's just that it's winter now, and Liu Jinfeng's laying hens are not breeding. After the weather is warm, he will select twenty or thirty strong young hens to group with the two breeders.

All the eggs laid at this time are used to hatch chicks.

After killing so many chickens, I kept a few for Chinese New Year, and there were a lot of chicken offal left.

Including chicken heart, chicken liver and chicken gizzards, especially chicken gizzards, are definitely good things. Whether it is stir-frying or sauce chicken gizzards, they are all first-class delicious.

In the busy work, it is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the custom here, this day is called Xiaonian'er, which is the solemn day after the Spring Festival.

After the small year, the countdown to the new year begins, and every household is busy for the New Year.

Little children, when this time comes, they will sing songs passed down from generation to generation:

Twenty-three, sticky sugar melons; twenty-four, write blessing.

Twenty-five, grind tofu; twenty-six, stew pork.

Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; twenty-eight, make the face.

Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; stay overnight on thirty nights, and go out on the first day of the new year...

As usual, Liu Qingshan got up early and went up the mountain. After exercising, he went home with his master to spend the new year.

According to local customs, dumplings are to be made in the morning of Xiaonian. It is difficult for a large family to adjust their mouths, so there are still two kinds of stuffing, one meat and one vegetable.

The vegetarian stuffing is leeks and eggs, and then chop some vermicelli; the other is sauerkraut, plus the oil left over from cooking lard a few days ago.

Pickled cabbage and oil residue are a perfect match. Pickled cabbage likes oil, while oil residue is more greasy.

It tastes delicious.

A large family, plus Professor Wang's old couple, more than a dozen people, lively and lively, gathered together to make dumplings, one panel is not enough at all.

What's New Year's Eve?

Liu Qingshan believes that the Chinese New Year is just about popularity, and of course no one is not lively.

Just like the New Year's Eve, when there are two or three people in the family, and sometimes the children don't come back for the New Year, can it be lively?

After Liu Qingshan finished cooking the dumplings, he used the fence to scoop out a few and put them behind the pot table, and then brought out the statue of the kitchen master who had been sitting behind the bowl rack.

He is the head of the family, so the sacrifice of the nominal head of the family belongs to him.

When the riots were fierce a few years ago, all these things were cleaned up. In the past two years, there has been a seller of stove kings, and they are painted on paper, which are relatively simple.

On the stove, there was another plate of stove candy, which is the Kanto candy bought from the market a few days ago, and then, Liu Qingshan began to say:

Here they have a special set of kowtows for offering sacrifices to the stove: "Stove Lord, my real name is Zhang, riding a white horse, holding a silver spear... God says good things, and returns to the palace for good luck."

After reading this, he placed the statue of the Kitchen Lord on a big rooster tied with stalks, stuffed it into the stove and burned it, and the Kitchen Lord went to report to the Jade Emperor.

At the age of 30, the kitchen king will be brought back, and he will continue to be the head of the family.

After the simple ceremony, the fourth and the fifth set up two hanging firecrackers outside, and everyone went into the house to eat dumplings. The two tables were full of laughter and laughter. It was very lively.

"I want to eat wheat ear dumplings!"

Xiao Lao Si snorted, took a dumpling in the shape of a wheat ear from the plate, put it in the bowl of mountain apricots, and then took another one and ate it happily.

These wheat ear dumplings are all made by Lin Zhi. She is ingenious, and the wheat ear dumplings symbolize a good harvest.

In fact, whether it is the dumpling skin or the dumpling filling, it is the same, but the children have a strange picture, and they always think that this kind of dumpling is more delicious.

"Then I will eat this zygote, the family and the beauty."

Liu Qingshan sandwiched a zygote with two layers of skin and stuffing in the middle. Usually, this is wrapped to the end and used to rub the side of the basin. There is no stuffing, but the meaning is very good.

After breakfast, the fourth and fifth went out for a run, and then came back to report: "Brother, the lantern poles in Grandpa Zhi's house are all up!"

The custom of their side is to erect a wooden pole for hanging lanterns during the New Year, with tree branches tied to the top, and decorated with colorful paper.

It's a bit similar to foreign Christmas trees, and I don't know if it came from Maozi.

This lantern pole has a lot of origins, and it is widely circulated, which is related to Jiang Taigong.

After Jiang Ziya sealed the gods, he found that he forgot to seal himself, and there was nothing he could do, so he squatted on top of the lantern pole.

A more reliable statement was passed down from the Manchus. Nurhaci used Solo poles for worshiping the sky. The common people couldn’t get the Solo poles, so they erected a simplified version, which gradually evolved into lantern poles.

During the Chinese New Year, high lantern poles are erected, lanterns are hung up, and the lanterns are bright and dignified. Isn't the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year all at once?

After listening to the reports of the two little ones, Liu Qingshan also waved his hand: "Then let's put up the lantern pole too!"

The two little guys jumped for joy immediately, and Liu Qingshan laughed after saying, "Let's do this, why do I feel like a fool watching the neighborhood during the New Year's Eve."

They wanted to erect lantern poles, and the second sister, Liu Yinfeng, began to make lanterns.

The second sister is skillful, and she does the work of tying lanterns every year. First, she uses stalks to tie the skeleton, and then sticks it with white lantern paper. Finally, she uses colored paper to decorate it. It is very beautiful to draw dragons and phoenixes.

Liu Qingshan carried an axe and led the two little ones to chop branches.

It is best to use the head of a pine tree, because the pine needles are green, and with colored paper, it looks particularly vibrant.

However, a lantern pole can destroy a small tree. Liu Qingshan will not do this. He is still planning to lead everyone to plant trees in the beginning of spring.

After arriving at the room, I found two round elm branches, climbed to the tree and cut them down. The two little guys each carried one and dragged them home.

His family and grandfather's, so they got two tree branches.

As soon as he walked to the gate, he heard a movement behind him, a deep and deep yoyo.

Shan Xing didn't have to look back, she cheered: "It's Dalulu back!"

not good!

Liu Qingshan wanted to run, but how could he outrun a four-legged sika deer?

The back was still lightly pushed, and he also lay down on the ground, just say hello.

After getting up, Shan Xing and Cai Feng were already close to the sika deer there.

There were also a few deer cubs born this year, who also came up, with big watery eyes, looking so tame and ignorant.

The deer's head is not as high as a mountain and apricot. He raised his head and just licked the little girl's face, making her giggle.

In the back, there is a large army. These guys are not very afraid of people now, and they all use their hooves to plan the snow on the ground.

Looking at it like that, I'm in a hurry: why don't you have a meal?

Since the beginning of the winter, the deer herds have come here for about half a month, and Liu Qingshan's family has eaten several hundred kilograms of rice.

Get back with interest sooner or later!

He muttered in his mouth, and went to collect the corn again, and the youngest fourth also got some large grains of salt.

While feeding the deer, Shan Xing said, "Today is a small year, I will give you more to eat, it will be a New Year."

This little girl is really kind.

Maybe the deer are so close to her because they feel this kindness?

Liu Qingshan took a few photos of the two of them, some riding a big sika deer, and some getting close to the little deer, and then went into the house to make lanterns.

Everyone can do this work. The eldest sister cuts the multicolored paper into small pennants, and the eldest brother-in-law is responsible for smearing the paste.

After the four phoenixes and five phoenixes finished feeding the sika deer, they also went back to the house to help pass the small flags. Liu Qingshan, together with his mother, was responsible for pasting the colorful flags onto the branches.

After one lantern head is glued, make another one. After this one is glued and the first one is almost dry, take it outside and tie it to the lantern pole.

Under the lantern head, nail a tripod with wood, fix it to the pole, add a circular iron ring at the front end, and then erect the lantern pole and tie it to the wooden stake of the garden gate.

"So lovely!"

The colorful little flags were blown by the wind, and the fourth and fifth were slapped directly below.

At this time, the second sister's lantern was also pasted. It had six sides, and six dragons stretched out to the surroundings, with a colorful tassel at the end. Under the lantern was a big red ball made of confetti, very beautiful.

"Hang the lantern, hang the lantern!"

Lao Si kept shouting in his mouth, looking like he couldn't wait.

Liu Qingshan sighed in his heart: in the future, people say that the taste of the new year will become weaker and weaker.

Just like now, everything needs to be done by yourself, and it naturally integrates into the atmosphere of the New Year.

He was thinking about it when he heard the second sister's voice ringing in his ears: "San Feng'er, you didn't put a rope in the iron ring, how did you hang the lantern?"

Liu Qingshan raised his head and glanced at it, isn't it, if you forgot to tie the rope, the lantern will naturally not be able to go up.

It seems unlucky if the lantern pole is put down.

Liu Qingshan spat two mouthfuls into his palm: "Then I can only climb up the pole."
