Chapter 275: A Day on Chinese New Year's Eve (Part II)


The thirtieth day of the lunar month is on the right day.Compared with the families in the Guannai, the Northeast people pay less attention to the Spring Festival, and they are more arrogant.There is no way, today's Northeast people are all fleeing from the Guannai in the early years, in other words, they are not very mixed, naturally different from the customs passed down from generation to generation in the old family, and it can be said that those who remember the names of the eight generations of their ancestors clearly are considered educated.Relatively speaking, the traditional customs in southern Liaoning are better preserved, and the further north you go, the less traditional you are, the more free you are, and you can live as you want.For example, burning paper during the New Year, some families burn paper in Chinese New Year's Eve, some are twenty-nine, some are twenty-eight, and some only burn paper after the New Year.Wang Ai's family is simpler, in the morning Wang Bin went back to Wangjia Village to give the old family a New Year's gift, and came back at noon to help in the kitchen, in previous years he didn't care, but in recent years, he and his wife and son are getting together less and leaving more, and being busy together has become a rare moment to enjoy the warmth of the family.Ai Xiaoqing didn't go home as usual, and the old people were gone anyway, so she took care of the family in her own small home with peace of mind.Although the population is not large, the habit of Wang Ai's family is to prepare enough food for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is said to be a custom from Dalian, or Shandong?

Who knows?

Anyway, now Wang Ai's family doesn't need to prepare so much, the German regional league will start on the fifth day of the first month, and it will be a double match a week, who will make this a World Cup year?

And Wang Bin has to return to Beijing after the third day of the first lunar month, it is time to pay New Year's greetings, it is time to pay New Year's greetings to others, and the Spring Festival is the peak period for Chinese social interaction.Ai Xiaoqing can be a little free, so that she can accompany Xu Qinglian to spend the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and then she has to start busy, so she didn't cook so much, but it was enough to eat for five days.Wang Ai loves to eat steamed buns, so the Wang family not only makes dumplings during the Spring Festival, but also makes steamed buns, leeks, eggs, shrimp skin, radish beef, cabbage pork, sauerkraut pork, mushroom chicken, radish vermicelli, even if the out-of-season vegetables are not unavailable, but the taste of the family has developed a habit in the poor life.In addition to meat buns, there are also bean buns, Wang Ai doesn't like to eat the bean paste filling he bought, so Ai Xiaoqing has to specially steam the red beans and mix the stuffing by hand, so that the bean buns taste distinct, and they are not as sweet as the bean paste filling he bought.Xu Qinglian likes to eat Wang Ai doesn't know, at least I didn't know before, just came to Wang Ai's house for a year or two, Xu Qinglian always hid her preferences, for fear of causing trouble to others, just these two years are a little better, may prefer sweets, as for other tastes, the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the Northeast are actually about the same, summed up in four words: big fish and big meat.Wang Ai has been clicking with his camera since early in the morning, and he is also clicking at noon.In fact, according to the habits of some northeastern people, the Chinese New Year's Eve is two meals, the evening in the morning, breakfast at 90 o'clock, early in the afternoon, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at 2 or 3 o'clock, and then in the middle of the night with the crackling sound of firecrackers to eat supper, the first day of the first month.But Wang Ai's family does not pay attention to this, Wang Ai gets up early, and Chinese New Year's Eve also goes out in the morning to exercise.Many people may not have noticed that the early morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve is the best morning of the year: there is not a single car on the road!

Even in a densely populated community, it's quiet.Wang Ai got up early, and none of the remaining three people could sleep lazy, let alone this family of three, even Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang, who were far away in Shenyang, did not fall well, Wang Ai called the two hangovers and woke up to exercise with him in the morning.Besides, Huang An and Huang Xin's father and daughter came over in the afternoon, and their intellectual families pay attention to healthy life, and they don't care about this kind of chaotic diet arrangement.The afternoon was not very busy, the family sat by the TV and chatted, Wang Ai drilled back to his room to upload pictures, Wang Bin and Ai Xiaoqing were very curious, so they came over to see the excitement, and found that the Spring Festival of the Germans was more lively than ours.Northeast people lack inheritance, and the oldest ancestors who can be counted are at most eight or nine generations, that is, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, no matter how early the ancestral tombs are in Guannei, many people don't even know where their hometown is.Therefore, it is basically a family, and it is difficult to have any big family, so it is difficult to have any grand and large-scale family-style Spring Festival activities.Wang Ai's family is a little better, before the Chinese New Year, the North Paper Group held a New Year's party in the four branch bases, the North Flower Company, the Stupid Food Company and the Beyond Company, deliberately stopped work for a day, the leader spoke, and issued the annual outstanding workers, model worker awards, bonuses, and then there was a literary performance, which was a bit lively.Ordinary people only have to eat, drink, watch TV, and burn paper.And Dietfort is a real Chinese carnival, on the 30th day of the lunar month, the whole village takes to the streets, dressed as Chinese, young men in horse coats and robes, little girls cheongsam headdresses, grinning and fire-breathing dragons, even children are painting two mustaches on the side of their mouths.The townspeople elected an emperor, who sat in a large palanquin and was accompanied by guards on stilts to appoint the prime minister, and then ......

Hold a concubine selection ceremony!

These Germans have been playing since 1928 to this day, and it's hard to imagine how a place that doesn't have any Chinese cultural foundation can stick to this kind of gameplay.Wang Bin hugged his shoulders and looked at Wang Ai flipping through the pictures one by one thoughtfully, not as lively as Ai Xiaoqing and Wang Ai said, and pointed to the computer screen: "Do you have any ideas?"

”Wang Ai smiled and turned his head and said, "I want to help them play better." ”Wang Bin nodded: "I met a friend from the Ministry of Culture a few years ago, and their ministry is studying the promotion of Chinese culture to the world, do you think this is a good starting point?"

It is said that they are preparing to build a Chinese language school for foreign countries, and I think this may be better. ”Wang Ai nodded: "At least I can clearly feel the discrimination against Chinese and the misunderstanding of Chinese culture in southern Germany or Europe, and this is a good example." ”"Okay" Wang Bin patted Wang Ai on the shoulder: "After the Chinese New Year, you can go on a trip to inspect and see if there are any political problems."

If not, I'll go back and apply to the Ministry of Culture, there is such a good base of Chinese culture, of course we have to make use of it, this is the hinterland of Europe, people have been learning Chinese by themselves for almost a hundred years, this is much better than spending money to pull people everywhere to learn.If this point is done well, it can dismantle the prejudice and misunderstanding of us Chinese from within Europe. ”"Break the face with a point?"

Wang Ai's eyes lit up: "If we do a good job, will there be less resistance for our enterprises to develop in foreign countries?"

”Wang Bin smiled and sighed again: "No way, the difference is too big politically and culturally, Soviet chauvinism has smeared socialism, the Qing Dynasty has smeared the Chinese, history is written by the victors, we have to bear the price if we lose."

You have a good eye, whether you want it or not, this point is good. ”()
