What is your best memory of Chinese New Year when you were a child?

Seeing the problem, I suddenly felt very sad. When I was a child, all my good memories belonged to my grandmother, but she left two years ago.

Cut to the chase:

When I was a child, as a left-behind child (my parents came back from working in other places during the Spring Festival), I was most looking forward to the moment when my mother came back to open the suitcase. Because I take the train, I will buy a lot of food (melon seeds, snacks, instant noodles, etc. ), and I usually can't finish it on the way, so I take it home. On the day my mother comes back, I will apply for instant noodles! When I was a child, I liked the honey juice of instant noodles, hahahaha! Besides snacks, she will also bring back some toys bought on the train. For example, in Rubik's Cube and Tetris, there is another one I like best. It is the one with water. Press the button to throw the small circle in and hang it on a small post in the water. I like that one very much.

I grew up in Chongqing, and the flavor of Sichuan and Chongqing is still quite strong. The customs of each family are somewhat different, and my family is not particularly representative. Sausages and bacon will be prepared in advance before the Chinese New Year, and cypress branches will be burned in a big empty oil drum to smoke sausages and bacon. For me, this is a rare opportunity to play with fire. It usually takes about half a day to smoke sausages. They were not burned, but smoked. If the temperature in the oil drum continues to be high, firewood and branches will be added from time to time. At this time, a few sweet potatoes will be put in, and they will be put in the afternoon just to wait for the baked sweet potatoes!

The happiness of wearing new clothes when I was a child, and buying new clothes and shoes during the New Year. You must wear it on New Year's Day, and the full expectation lasts for a few days. It's really simple to think about happiness now. There is a sad story. One year, my chin was caught in the zipper of a new dress … The pain is still fresh in my memory. ...

I will receive many red envelopes from my relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. Although it will be confiscated, I will still have more use quotas. Snacks and firecrackers can achieve the only freedom in a year. Coke, you must drink canned; Spicy strips, you must buy big bags; Firecrackers, be sure to buy some …

Going back to my hometown to go to the grave can't be said to be happy. After all, it is a solemn ancestor worship. But for children, get up early, take a long-distance bus with adults and see the scenery on the road. Give gifts to relatives in my hometown, and then burn paper to worship and kowtow at the grave of the deceased elders. The sense of ceremony is also very good. Don't forget the kindness of our ancestors.

Now I am an independent adult. Facing the adult world, I gained a lot of initiative, but lost a lot of happiness. A few days ago, I had a feeling that as soon as I entered the potato chip section of the supermarket, I remembered that if I saw this when I was a child, I must feel like I was in heaven ~ Now I feel the freedom of snacks, but I don't like snacks ~ I don't want to grow up, it's true.
