    "Boom, boom!" As more and more people set off fireworks outside, the festive New Year has arrived.  Xia Yun and grandma were busy preparing for the New Year. They first cleaned the house inside and out, and went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of New Year's goods.  In the past few years, the two of them had a tight life, and every time it came to the New Year, they always lived together.  Conditions have improved this year, so of course we must have a good year.  Grandma not only bought a lot of vegetables, but also a lot of fish and meat. Of course, peanuts, melon seeds and candies that are necessary for the New Year are also indispensable.

    According to the local customs, before the New Year's Eve, ancestors are worshipped. Everyone will arrange the table at home vertically according to the stripes on the table, and then put on a table of dishes (tofu, venetian, bean sprouts, spinach, and chicken, duck, fish, etc.)  Meat dishes), except for the north-facing position of the table where candles and incense are placed on the table, wine cups and chopsticks must be placed on the other three sides, and rice wine should be poured.  When everything is ready, the owner of the home will open the door a crack and shout to the outside: "The ancestors come back for the New Year's Eve dinner." During the ancestor worship process, the owner of the home will pour wine for the ancestors three times, and  Kneeling to the ancestors, you can pray softly while worshiping: "I ask the ancestors to bless the whole family with good health, success in studies, and smooth sailing".  But no one can touch the stools beside the sacrificial table, nor can they speak loudly in the hall where the sacrificial table is placed, so as not to disturb the ancestors' meal.  When the ancestor worship is coming to an end, that is, when a stick of incense is about to end, the family members start to burn paper money for the ancestors. The local paper money is usually "silver ingots" made of Xibo paper. The paper money should be divided into two piles, one pile  It's for Mr. Taibo, and the other pile is for our ancestors. After burning the paper money, the ancestor worship ceremony is over.

    Generally, ancestor worship is held in one's own hometown, and grandma and Xia Yun are strangers, so the ancestor worship is omitted at Xia Yun's house.  On New Year's Eve, grandma prepared a table of home-cooked food, called Xia Yun's godmother's family, and Zhou Liyang and the others had a lively meal. One was to get together before the Chinese New Year, and the other was to thank the two families during this time.  Help for your own home.

    On the day of the New Year's Eve, Zhou Liyang finally met the enemy in his heart who wanted to snatch his sister Yun'er. The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and when their eyes met, there was a fierce spark, which can be described as turbulent.  But in fact, this is only Zhou Liyang's feeling. Li Lin saw Zhou Liyang for the first time, but he didn't feel anything.  Li Lin is only 11 years old after the new year. He is just a half-grown kid. What complicated things can he think about?  I can only blame the precocious Zhou Liyang for being overwhelmed.

    It was the first time for Li Lin to be a guest at Xia Yun's house. There were people to play with and a lot of delicious food. I was so excited!  For a while, he took Xia Yun and Zhou Liyang to play cards and hide-and-seek, and for a while, he took the two of them outside to set off fireworks. They had a great time, and they even familiarly asked Zhou Liyang to say that they wanted to be friends, so Zhou Liyang agreed.  I'm upset, I don't agree with it, I don't know how to say it, I get tangled up and down.

    Xia Yun patiently accompanied the two young guests, playing games for mentally handicapped children!  Among other things, games like "slap cards and hide-and-seek" are mentally handicapped in Xia Yun's mind with an adult soul!  While having no choice but to play with him, Xia Yun also felt a little emotional, thinking that Li Lin and Zhou Liyang are only two years apart, so why is there such a difference in thinking?  Since Zhou Liyang and her have known each other for so long, they have never played any children's games. What they do most is chatting all over the world, or drawing pictures, taking walks and so on.  Comparing Zhou Liyang and Li Lin now, Xia Yun finds that either Zhou Liyang is precocious, or Li Lin is too naive!

    At this time, Li Lin was pulling Zhou Liyang to show off his cards, talking about how he managed to collect them, which cards were the most difficult to collect, and so on.  "How about it? These cards are rare, right? Since we are friends, how about I give you two as a gift?" Li Lin asked proudly.

    Zhou Liyang twitched the corners of his mouth, secretly sneered at "retarded", he went with Xia Yunxiang, and then politely refused: "No, I'm not very interested in cards."

    "Hey! Why aren't you interested? These cards are hard to collect. I got them after a lot of effort. Now I'm reluctantly giving them to you." Li Lin stuffed some of the cards with a look of reluctance.  To Zhou Liyang's hand.

    "It's really unnecessary. Since it's hard to collect, you should keep it well." Zhou Liyang was speechless to Li Lin. He pushed his hands, and after speaking calmly, he turned around and left with the wheelchair.  And Li Lin seemed unwilling to accept Zhou Liyang's refusal, and even chased after him to deliver the cards. He looked at Xia Yun next to him and sighed: "This brother, you are so enthusiastic."  It's too innocent, can't you see that brother Li Yang doesn't like it?

    After New Year's Eve, Xia Yun and grandma didn't go anywhere on New Year's Eve. The two spent the day making ornaments and chatting about homework at home.  After dinner in the evening, grandma first took Xia Yun outside to watch other people¡¯s houses set off fireworks, and then burned some paper ingots at the gate, in the hall, by the stove, etc., praying to come.?'s peace and success.  After finishing this series of things, grandma and Xia Yun had a foot stove, and in the hall of the house, they chatted and watched the night while popping soybeans.

    The sound of crackling in the foot stove, accompanied by the sound of fireworks outside from time to time, broke the boredom of having no TV to watch and no other entertainment activities at home.  Xia Yun and grandma gathered around the foot stove, enjoying the warmth and warmth of this moment. Grandma said with emotion that this "year" is the happiest "year" in the past few years, and it is also thanks to the blessing of her little granddaughter.  Without the decisiveness and bravery of my little granddaughter, this year might have to be the same as last year.  Grandma looked at Xia Yun with softer eyes, and her thoughts were racing, thinking of the year that was dusty in her memory, what if?  If at the beginning Grandma didn't dare to think about it, and secretly decided in her heart that she must raise Xia Yun to grow up, and her task would be completed.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
