How did people spend the Spring Festival 30 years ago?

Thirty years ago, people celebrated the Spring Festival in a unique way. Adults and children, old and young, were talking and laughing, and they were so busy that they went to visit relatives and friends. Full of joy and laughter.

I just remembered the scene of the Spring Festival in the rural areas of eastern Henan 30 years ago and said it a little.

0 1.23, the atmosphere of offering sacrifices to the kitchen god in the New Year can probably start from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which is a small year. We call it a sacrificial stove.

You have to eat sesame candy to sacrifice the stove. When you were a child, you liked to eat sweets. This sesame candy can also be eaten for a long time. Fortunately, this sesame candy is hand-made by rural people themselves. I don't know when there was a rumor that people who made sesame candy had to step on it with their feet ... and then they stopped eating it for a long time.

02. Twenty-four, cleaning the house will probably start from this day, and the family will be busy. Twenty-four, cleaning the house ... I started cleaning early in the morning. In addition to cleaning houses, tables and chairs, especially the kitchen, the hidden walls, roofs and stoves after firewood fumigation should be cleaned again.

I don't remember what I have been doing every day since March 25th. In short, I buy Chinese cabbage and radish, chop them into buns and jiaozi. Then start steaming steamed buns, steamed buns, jiaozi, and cook some kelp in the next few days. Hair slice seaweed silk was a childhood delicacy.

The pig that has been raised at home for one year weighs more than 300 Jin in metropolis. Some are for sale, some are for killing themselves. Especially when someone marries a wife, they will keep a pig at home, kill it a few days ago and give it to their in-laws to raise a business.

Oil is also necessary. Frying some carp is essential. By the way, fry some meatballs and oil cakes. Eat roast chicken in the Mid-Autumn Festival and carp in the New Year ... but you can eat it at any time in recent years.

On New Year's Eve, the first day of Chinese New Year's Eve, the family stopped doing any work, but took a rest and put away the needles and scissors.

On New Year's Eve, couplets will be posted and three firecrackers will be fired. Some families will post couplets early in the morning, because outsiders can't ask for accounts at home if they post couplets.

04. As the New Year's Eve approached dusk, firecrackers in Lisan Bagua Village continued one after another until late at night.

At that time, firecrackers were also hand-made by rural people. The small one is called "fire whip", the medium one is called "cannon" and the big one is called "Lei Zi" ...

Get up early on New Year's Day, get up at 5 o'clock, put on new clothes and start setting off firecrackers.

Save some gunpowder, too, and save it for playing with homemade pistols. This kind of pistol, friends should get together and compare who is bigger, who has the loudest voice and who is the most powerful.

On the first morning of New Year's greetings, the young people in the village will spontaneously form a team to kowtow to the old people at home.

Of course, at that time, I was thinking about lucky money, fifty cents, especially brand-new tickets. I really didn't want to spend long in my hands.

06. Going to grandma's house on the second day of junior high school is something I miss day and night, because I still can't bear to eat the dishes prepared at home on the first day of New Year's Day to entertain guests. Only when I get to my grandmother's house can I eat meat and good dishes.

When I was a child, I used to ride a bike. A bicycle can carry three to five people. Later, there were motorcycles, tricycles and three-wheeled motor vehicles. ...

I am very emotional when I think about it. After 30 years, things are human beings, and things are human beings. The Spring Festival scene in my hometown has undergone earth-shaking changes. Going home is like completing a task, visiting relatives is like going through the motions, and chatting with friends seems insincere.

It's very grounded, and now it doesn't smell like it used to.
