Vol 2 Chapter 157: New Year's Eve day (below)

It ’s the third day of the twelfth lunar month. Compared to Kannai's family, the people in Northeast China pay less attention to the Spring Festival, and they seem more arrogant. No way, today's people in Northeast China fled from Guanai in the early years. In other words, they were all mixed. It is naturally different from the custom passed down from generation to generation in the home. It can be said that the names of the eight generations of the ancestors are recorded clearly. Even if cultural.
Relatively speaking, the traditional customs in the southern Liaoning region are better preserved. The farther north, the fewer the traditions, the more free and comfortable you are. For example, burning paper in the New Year, some families burning paper in the 30th year, some 29, some 28, and some only burn the paper after the New Year. As for the ancestors, incense, respect for God, etc., it is a place and an order.
The Wang Ai family is even simpler. In the morning, Wang Bin returned to Wangjiacun to give the old family a birthday gift. At noon, he came back to the kitchen to help him. In the past, he didn't care, but in recent years, he and his wife and son have been together for a while. Busy together becomes a rare moment to enjoy the warmth of the family. Ai Xiaoqing did not return home as usual, anyway, the old man was gone, so he took care of his family in his small home with peace of mind. Although the population is not large, the habit of Wang Ai's family is to prepare enough meals before the 15th of the first month of the previous year. It is said that this is a custom from Dalian, or Shandong? who knows? Anyway, now Wang Ai ’s family does n’t need to prepare so much. The German regional league starts on the fifth day of the first month, and it is still a double match a week. Who makes this year the World Cup? And Wang Bin has to return to Beijing after the third day of the first month. It is time to celebrate the New Year and give New Year and the New Year. The Chinese New Year is the peak period of Chinese society. Ai Xiaoqing can be a bit more leisurely, and she can accompany Xu Qinglian after the fifteenth day of the first month, and then she has to be busy. Therefore, the meals have not been made so much, but they are enough for five days.
Wang Ai loves buns, so during the Spring Festival, the Wang family not only makes dumplings, but also buns, chives, eggs, shrimp skins, radish beef, cabbage pork, sauerkraut pork, shiitake chicken, and radish noodles, even if the off-season vegetables are not available, But the taste of the family has become a habit in the poor life. In addition to meat buns, there are bean buns. Wang Ai does not like to buy the red bean paste stuffing, so Ai Xiaoqing has to steam the red beans specially and mix the stuffing. This way, the bean buns are clear and not like buying. The red bean paste is so sweet.
What does Xu Qinglian like to eat? Wang Ai does n’t know. At least I did n’t know before. For a year or two when I first came to Wang Ai ’s house, Xu Qinglian always hid his preferences, for fear of causing trouble to others. Other flavors, the big girl and daughter-in-law in the Northeast are actually similar, and in summary, there are only four words: big fish and big meat.
Wang Ai clicked and held the camera from early in the morning, and clicked at lunchtime. In fact, according to the habits of some people in the Northeast, there are two meals in the thirtieth year. In the morning, the breakfast starts at ninety o'clock, the breakfast in the afternoon, the new year's dinner at two or three o'clock, and then in the middle of the night follow the crackling firecracker Have supper, the first day of the first month.
But Wang Ai's family didn't pay attention to this. Wang Ai got up early, and went out for morning exercises in the early 30s. Maybe many people haven't noticed that the early morning of the 30th is the best morning of the year: there is no car on the road! Even in densely populated neighborhoods, everything is quiet.
Wang Ai got up early, and there were three people who couldn't sleep late, let alone the family of three. Even Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang who were far away in Shenyang did not get well. Wang Ai called and called the two hangovers to wake up and do morning exercises with him. .
Besides, Huang An and Huang Xin's father and daughter came here in the afternoon. Their intellectual family pays attention to healthy life, and they don't care much about this time-confused diet arrangement.
I was not very busy in the afternoon. The family sat and talked on the TV. Wang Ai drilled back to his room to upload pictures. Wang Bin and Ai Xiaoqing were very curious. They followed the scene and found that the Germans had a better Spring Festival than us. Still lively. The people of the Northeast lack the inheritance, and the oldest ancestors they can count at most are eight or nine generations. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the earliest ancestors' graves were in the customs. Many people didn't even know where their hometown was. Therefore, it is basically a family, it is difficult to have a big family, then it is difficult to have a grand and large-scale family-style Spring Festival activities. The Wang Ai family is better. A few years ago, the Northern Paper Group held a New Year's party in four branch bases, Northern Flower Company, Fool Food Company and Beyond Company. The company deliberately stopped work for a day, and the leaders gave speeches and issued awards and bonuses for outstanding workers, model workers. It was followed by a literary show, which was a bit hilarious. Ordinary people have nothing to eat, drink, watch TV, and burn paper.
And Dittford is a real Chinese carnival. On the 30th of the lunar month, all the villagers went to the streets and dressed as Chinese. The boy was wearing a horse gown, a little girl's cheongsam headgear, and a dragon with a fangs grinning and a flame. Even a child draws a beard on his mouth. The citizens elected an emperor. The emperor sat in a big sedan, accompanied by the guards on stilts, to appoint the prime minister, and then ... a concubine election ceremony was held! These gangs of Germans have been playing from 1928 to today, and it is difficult for you to imagine how to persist in a place where there is no Chinese cultural foundation at all.
Wang Bin was holding his shoulders to watch Wang Ai's flip through the pictures one by one, thoughtfully, unlike the hilarious Ai Xiaoqing and Wang Ai said, pointing to the computer screen: "Do you have any ideas?"
Wang Ai turned around with a smile: "I want to help them play better."
Wang Bin nodded: "I met a friend from the Ministry of Culture a year ago. They were studying the promotion of Chinese culture to the world. Do you think this is a better entry point? It is said that they are planning to build a foreign Han Language school, I think it might be better. "
Wang Ai nodded: "At least I can clearly feel the local or European discrimination against Chinese and misunderstanding of Chinese culture in southern Germany. This is a good example."
"Okay" Wang Bin patted Wang Ai's shoulder: "After the New Year, if you have time, you can go and inspect it to see if there are any political problems. If not, I will go back and apply for it from the Ministry of Culture. We must of course make use of such a good base of Chinese culture. This is the hinterland of Europe. People have been learning Chinese for almost a hundred years, which is much better than us spending money to learn from others. If this is done, Well, we can disintegrate prejudices and misunderstandings towards us Chinese from within Europe. "
"Break the point?" Wang Ai flashed in front of his eyes: "If it is done well, will our company's resistance to foreign development be smaller?"
Wang Bin smiled and sighed again: "There is no way, politically and culturally, the Soviet chauvinism has tarnished socialism again, the Qing Dynasty has tarnished the Chinese, and history is written by the victors. If we lose, we have to bear the price. Your vision is good, whether intentionally or not, this point is a good choice. "
