"The sound of firecrackers in a year except, the spring breeze sends warmth into the Tu Su." Turning the corner is another year of the New Year Festival. Listening to the bells of the Year of the Rooster, thinking of the Year of the Monkey three hundred and sixty-five days of drifting snow, colorful into a fragrant trail.
The New Year is a time of reunion, a big show is to visit friends and relatives to pay tribute to the New Year. So, in the spring of the year of the Rooster, our family went to Yangcunqiao Pan family to pay tribute to the New Year, mom said let me feel the different taste of the rural New Year. On the way, my mom told me that this area, which used to be very poor, is now a famous strawberry town.
Nowadays, the city's New Year's Eve scene is more and more diluted, everyone said that now the rural New Year's Eve is really lively, farm food is the most let us drool. The actual fact is, the New Year's flavor in the countryside is a lot more mellow than in the city. Big red lanterns hanging high at the entrance, snow-white walls reflecting the red-colored spring couplets, especially joyful. Five-story farmhouse extraordinary style, hanging under the eaves of the rows of preserved goods, sausage and salted meat to see my eyes dazzled, the whole aroma of the face, joyful. Really, this is the flavor of the year, is red-hot and lively.
We sat in the yard, looking across the mountains, adults drinking relatives picked and fried tea, I attacked the Yangcunqiao specialty - strawberries. The strawberries here are shaped like guillotines, more colorful than the calyx, the color is agate, taste better than manna, so delicious that people can not stop. I just heard my mom say to her relatives, "Leave me a piece of land, later I will come here to build a house and move here."
Dinner, the table dishes are home-grown home-farmed, truly ecological organic green pollution-free, stewed chicken, pork with preserved mustard greens, steamed pork round, salted pork and spring bamboo shoots in pot, spinach round soup, fried greens, pumpkin cake; wine is home brewed buckwheat burn; rice is wood-fired rice, a thick layer of charred fragrant potpourri, the meal, eaten to everyone's heart's content, adults full of red, the children's bellies round, this is called the real New Year's Day, the children's bellies round. This is called the real New Year's Eve.
After the meal, we have to go back, the relatives of the bacon, bamboo shoots, rice wine, strawberries, one after another to our hands, cousin uncle said: before the New Year are you send us something, now we have a better day, not bad, you must bring more local specialties, don't be polite.
The farm house gradually left our sight, I said in my heart, next year will come again.
The world is changing rapidly and is full of surprises. Compared with the past, the New Year's Eve is very different now. Before the New Year's red envelopes, now popular on the phone to grab red envelopes; in the past, everyone is at home in the New Year, now popular travel and even outbound travel; in the past, travel all night queuing, hard to find a ticket, and now as long as the cell phone on the finger, what can be bought. Everything is so fast and convenient. Who knows, the next, there will be what a colorful world waiting for us, in any case, certainly is better and better every year, the happiness index is getting higher and higher! Just no matter how to change, do not dilute our flavor of the year, so that this traditional Chinese festival, almost like a totem of the ceremony, always inherited, because the richness of the year is the call of kinship, is the hometown of the war, is the same song of the children of China.
