Parents are here, not far away! Parents are here, hometown is here, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is different. During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon, our family of three still spent happily in the old age of the United States.
A month before the Spring Festival, the eldest brother of the hometown of Xiangyun Meichang Village in Dali invited us to organize the New Year's return. On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we got up early to pack the belongings we brought back to our hometown. There are toys and gifts for grandchildren, bait silk and bait blocks purchased from Xiaguan Longwei Old Street, as well as New Year's goods such as candy, drinks, and red envelopes.
At noon, I returned to my hometown Meichang Village, and my daughter-in-law helped my sister-in-law make a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. The firewood stove in the yard was blazing, and in the hot pot were whole chickens and pigs' heads. This pig's head meat, or last year's Artemisia Ziba's aunt helped raise a big fat pig, in December after the "slaughter of the pig" after the meat was distributed to relatives and friends, and finally this big pig's head was left. Originally, it was going to be given to my aunt's house, but later he said, "Take it back to eat it for the New Year", so that he had a good memory of eating pig's head during the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon.
The sister-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen for an afternoon, and a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was prepared. The Chinese New Year's Eve meal includes crispy pork, crispy fish, braised beef, chicken bone broth, shredded cold chicken, stewed duck, pork head, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, and some vegetables.
During the meal, the old mother carefully prepared red envelopes for the children. We not only gave red envelopes to the children, but also gave a big red envelope to each of the parents, wishing them a long and healthy life. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is different every year, and it is worth recording and sharing every year.
The 80-year-old parents and two elders have a separate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year. My mother and I spent the New Year at our eldest brother's house, while our father had dinner with them at my second brother's house. When their parents are older, they eat at that house if they like it, as long as they are happy.
The sister-in-law who can sing and dance also has a show in the village, and we take the baby to the field to walk the baby. During the Spring Festival, my niece was on duty in other provinces, and we helped her walk her baby in the field to play. During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon this year, due to the incomplete family members, I regretted missing the family photo**, and I only had to make up for it in the next year.
Parents are not far away, and parents are also in their hometown! This year's 80-year-old father has serious hearing loss in his ears, and took him to get hearing aids, as soon as he heard that ** is expensive, he doesn't want it, I said I pay him or don't, he said "It's 80 years old, there's no need to waste." The old father, who is old, is not good at walking, and he is panting more when he walks a little faster, and you can't feel him gasping when you are around him, so he went to the hospital to check and the doctor said that there is no big problem, but I hope the old father is well.
In the new year: bless the children, study hard and make progress every day; I wish the eldest brother and sister-in-law, make a fortune in the Year of the Dragon, and go smoothly; Bless other family members with good luck in the Year of the Dragon; I wish my parents and two elders good health and all the best.
