The composition of February 2 nd

I usually live at my grandmother's house. My parents come to pick me up every Friday night. That day, I remember it was Thursday, which was my normal school day. But my grandmother asked me to call my parents early in the morning and said that they would come for the holiday in the evening.

"Festival?" I opened the calendar conveniently and was a little surprised to see that it was February 26th. "I don't even know what festival it is today!" "

Grandma smiled and said, "Today is the second day of the second lunar month, the Spring Festival."

"I haven't heard of it!"

"Hee hee, you see-I don't even know what February 2nd is. Our little doctor is really ignorant. " Grandma raised her eyebrows and looked very proud.

I know grandma is clearly "getting back at me". A few days ago, grandma saw many people selling roses in the street and asked me what day it was today. Hee hee, I don't even know about Valentine's Day. I am really ignorant. However, today, I'm a little embarrassed. I don't even know what festival February 2 is. How can I stand in front of my grandmother as a "little doctor"?

When I was at school that day, I quietly left a note for my grandfather, asking him to help me download some information about "February 2" online and begging him to keep it a secret for me-I must get back face with my grandmother. I was a little absent-minded in class that day and kept thinking about "February 2"

At noon, grandpa secretly gave me a stack of printed materials, and I closed the door to "catch up". It turns out that "February 2" is called "Spring Dragon Festival" in the north and "Walking Festival" in the south. It is said that "February 2nd" was originally a sacrificial day in the Zhou Dynasty, but it evolved into a folk festival in the Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up". The origin of this sentence is related to ancient astronomy and agricultural solar terms in China. According to the observation model of ancient astronomy in China, 28 constellations were determined on the ecliptic on Sunday, which were called Twenty-eight Hostels. Twenty-eight lodges are divided into four palaces according to the southeast and northwest, and they are attached to four animals according to their images. Among them, the seven nights in the East Palace are imagined as a dragon. Every year in February of the lunar calendar, there will be a horn in the leading position on the eastern horizon, so it is commonly known as "the dragon looks up".

Haha, it's hard to get cold feet, but it's also light-I think as long as I have a little knowledge of ancient astronomy of "buying and selling now", I will be able to "curb" my grandmother.

At lunch, I asked my grandmother, "Do you know what the dragon looked up at?"

Grandma still smiled and said, "My grandson graduated from primary school this year and will take the key junior high school exam. This is' the dragon looks up'! "

"This is superstition!" I wanted to say something more, but when my grandfather signaled me to stop, I swallowed the rest. Grandpa whispered to me, "This is a folk custom, not a superstition. In folk customs, people always have the most ardent expectations, and you will understand when you grow up. "

I stared at my grandmother intently and found something in his eyes that I had never seen before-probably what Grandpa said was "the most ardent hope". Looking at the kind grandmother, my heart is full of many feelings. I've never seen "February 2" in my life. I wonder what grandma will cook for us. According to the information, on February 2, the customs in different places are different. Grandma is a northerner. How will she arrange the food for this festival?

"Grandma, what shall we eat tonight?" I asked curiously.

Grandma still smiled and said, "Keep it a secret."

I was still a little absent-minded in class that afternoon.

When I came home from school at night, I sneaked into the dining room like a cat. I saw a plate full of rice cakes on the table-it seemed to be bought from the Red Dragonfly Cake Shop. Besides, there are some cold cuts and a bottle of my favorite Pepsi. It turns out that "February 2" is nothing special!

I saw a crack in the kitchen door, so I sneaked a peek. In the kitchen, grandma is putting pig's head slices into a big plate. She carefully arranged it one by one in order. The pig's nose is next to the pig's nose, and the pig's ear is next to the pig's ear. After finishing, she still lay there, like an uncut pig. Then, grandma sprinkled a lot of chopped green onion and various seasonings on the pig's head meat, and finally steamed it in a pot.

Terrible, really terrible! I never eat fat. How should I celebrate this festival today?

In the evening, mom and dad thanked their grandparents at the dinner table, saying that your grandchildren will not live up to your hopes and strive to graduate with the best results and be admitted to key junior high schools.

"It's your turn to talk!" My mother tugged at my sleeve. "Please drink to the little doctor!"

I've been staring at that fat pig's head in a daze, and I can't speak at the moment.

"If you don't say it, don't say it!" Grandma put a big piece of pork head in my bowl. "Come, often grandma's housekeeping."

Grandpa also encouraged me to say, "Come on, eat quickly, this dish has the magical effect of beauty and brain strengthening."

Under the supervision of my grandparents' parents, I had to put the pig's head in my mouth-to be honest, I originally wanted to spit it out when they weren't looking. Unexpectedly, something magical happened-later, I actually chewed it. Grandma's steamed pig's head meat is fat but not greasy. It melts in the mouth, tender and delicious, but quite fragrant!

Later, I made a toast to my grandparents, thanking them for their careful care over the past few years and making me a sensible child. I don't have the courage to show off my little knowledge of ancient astronomy, just saying that February 2 is a folk custom, not a superstition; Folk custom is the sea, and we can never fully understand it. I also said from the bottom of my heart that my grandparents know more than me, and I will always learn from them.

This is the first time in my life to go to "February 2". I hope to go to grandma's house every year. I will love my grandparents with the best life experience. I will definitely learn more from them as the strength of my life and struggle. I will always remember-grandma's "February 2"
