People of the parents' generation, especially those who live in the countryside, every Spring Festival, are all kinds of hoarding, all kinds of buying, the refrigerator at home is not enough, I can't wait, there is a big freezer at home, there is a big ice cellar.
For example, in the past few years, my mother-in-law and father-in-law did not hoard things this year, the reason is very simple, I did not go back to my hometown for the New Year, I went back to the New Year last year and the year before last, and I began to buy all kinds of years ago, 10 catties of pork, a few catties of mutton (buy less in this way), a few catties of beef (z also buy less), and a pork rib (generally mostly pork chops), every year there are fish and fish that cannot be avoided every year, and prawns also have to buy a few catties of refrigerators stuffed to the brim, as well as the leg of lamb sent by the eldest sister, this still did not dare to buy, The refrigerator is full, my mother-in-law has pulled out the drawer of the refrigerator, so as not to occupy space, our refrigerator is small, not a double-door refrigerator can not fit.
My father-in-law also said: "This year we are in the city for the New Year, we don't go back to our hometown, we don't need to stock up on so many things, we can eat and buy as we go", but the refrigerator is still stuffed with no place to put it, and finally we started to go to work, and the things are almost the same, because we bring food every day, so we eat faster.
I don't know if you have these customs there, but you will fry all kinds of things during the New Year, such as fried vegetarian meatballs, saury, etc. I have to eat this for a long time, the problem is that people still say that you can buy everything here, the supermarket is open every day, you can buy whatever you want to eat, and in the end some things are not finished, and they are broken, and finally they are thrown away.
We went back to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, my parents because of the New Year in the countryside, not all year round at home The refrigerator is even smaller and smaller, and the storage space is even smaller, my father bought 2 catties of mutton, 2 catties of beef, pork bought more, and a large piece of mutton chops, pork chops, so that the Xiaoice boxes can not be opened, the family is fortunate to be cold, there are all kinds of vegetables, there are also all kinds of fried things, and my uncle gave two boxes of fish, a box of saury, a box of mackerel, and finally the fish is not put in the refrigerator, all of them stink. I don't have to buy fruit because my brother sells fruit.
We went home for three or four days, every day is a table of dishes, beef, pig ears, pork skin jelly, cold kelp, meatball soup, ribs, lamb soup, the most important thing is that we celebrate the New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve make a pot of dumpling filling, meat filling a pot, vegetarian filling a plate, remember when I was a child, every year in the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household clanked and began to chop the filling, in the end the dumplings were eaten badly, from the Chinese New Year's Eve began to eat dumplings until the fifth or sixth of the new year.
This year, my dad said that he would not prepare so many things again, this year the main thing is that they and my little nephew are at home for the New Year, and my younger brother is doing fruit business in other places, and we are all going back after the New Year.
My dad actually said this every year, he doesn't prepare so many things anymore, but he prepares every year, regrets every year, and prepares as usual every year.
