[things like New year's Day] New year's greetings in childhood

Master, Happy New year! With the accompaniment of gongs and drums, several children danced their elaborate colored cattle, three steps left and three steps right in the main hall of the host's house. when the host family rewarded a few yuan, they would say in unison after a few yuan reward: thank you! Then get out of the yard and go to the next one!

In order to be successful or perfect for the New year, children patiently prepare for the New year. The production of colored cattle can split the bamboo and weave it, and then put the horns on top. But the children only know that because the difficulty of compiling can only be completed by people of a few decades old, they go to the market to buy a cow's head with only bones, and buy a few feet of black cloth to stick on it; then buy a few feet of colored cloth as the body of the cow. The seemingly simple process is spent in the past few days when the children look forward to the Spring Festival.

The loss of a horse is not a blessing. Because in these days the child's heart is the most excited, the Spring Festival, you can wear new clothes, as well as lucky money to spend. But they put this excitement on making colored cattle, so time passed quickly!

In the strong cypress fragrance, in the gorgeous and elegant color couplet, in the light warm atmosphere ushered in New Year's Eve. In my opinion, this is the best day of the Chinese New year! After the reunion dinner, the children put on their long-awaited new clothes, and the adults prepare the appropriate lucky money, thus ushering in the dusk.

It is time for the children to be frantically busy. If they are a little older, they will find a bamboo pole and a bucket, draw a bucket of water and wobble to their destination by the river. As soon as the money is delivered, the host family will come out and open the door. Let them pour the water into the arranged bucket, and then give them the appropriate lucky money; because they will give more when they see the bigger ones and less when they see the smaller ones. Give more when you see relatives and less when you see strangers, but give it to you. After all, it's New year's Day.

Then the children continued to walk to the river with empty buckets! It was too little and too hard for the money to be delivered, so the children took the colored cattle they had prepared to go to the place where they got the lucky money; at that time, life was not as rich as it is now, so the children often went everywhere behind closed doors; but there are policies and countermeasures, children quietly go to the master's door and then begin to beat gongs and drums; so they often win. So hard until 12:00, everyone can get gratified dozens of yuan; it's enough for them!

Because they do not leave home on the first day of the Lunar New year, they go out of business for one day and continue to start from the second to fifteenth day of the new year. Although it is New year's greetings, it is more accurate for them to ask for lucky money or small partners to get together, and the flavor of that kind of New year is also strong; the colored cattle made by hard days will not be lost this year, because they can decorate a little next year; now life is better, maybe the children have too much lucky money. That kind of drumming sound has not been heard for a long time; friends do not get together very much, they all follow their parents aboveboard to ask for lucky money! And the flavor of the Spring Festival is getting lighter and lighter, people are getting busier and busier, and time is driving faster and faster; maybe we have grown up!
