The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary

On the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, soybeans are the main ingredient. Early in the morning, people start to line up in front of the doors of mills in the streets and alleys. They carry soybeans that have been soaked overnight to the mills to make tofu. Families with better conditions have stone mills at home, and they also grind beans and make tofu in the courtyard early in the morning. Every household has tofu, which means that every household is blessed, so tofu also represents blessing.

During the festival, everyone pays attention to the meaning of the festival, which is rare. It is also the time of the year when family relationships and neighborhood relationships are the most harmonious. I borrow your mill, and you give me some firewood. If there is more sauce, I will share it with everyone. Even if there are some conflicts on weekdays, they will temporarily put aside their prejudices during the festival and are willing to greet each other with a smile. If someone is looking for trouble during the festival, it is basically to deliberately cause bad luck to others. Such people are tactless and it is estimated that everyone will no longer like to play with them in the future.

The reason why traditional festival culture can be passed down from generation to generation may be because festivals help to enhance family harmony, improve interpersonal relationships, and even resolve conflicts.

Ling Wuxin's villa was a super large villa, with loyal guards, skilled craftsmen, farming and animal husbandry experts, housekeepers, and trusted followers. Ling Wuxin also made careful arrangements for the holidays, asking the kitchen to make tofu early in the morning. These tofu-making experts were people who had returned home from the Dada Food Factory on holiday. With their help, all the tofu in the villa was made, and they were distributed to the families after they were made. There were many varieties, including tofu pudding, water tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, fresh bean curd sticks, fried tofu, etc.

Yiyi and Bailu's families celebrated the festival together in Xiaoyao Garden. They also prepared a table full of tofu feast, which was stewed, fried, pan-fried, and steamed, and then paired with hot pot dishes. The table was full of tofu, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

During the dinner, the men frequently raised their glasses to drink fermented rice wine, and said auspicious words to express their yearning and vision for a better life in the future. Yiyi and Bailu did not drink fermented rice wine, so they used orange juice instead, and also expressed their wishes. The biggest wish was that the baby would be born smoothly, healthy and smart! This also aroused the tenderness in the hearts of the men present. So the topic revolved around the baby, and everyone began to look forward to the New Year coming soon, and to the ripe fruits in May and June next year.

"Yiyi, I will take care of the eldest and Xiaoba will take care of the second, and you will take care of yourself." Xiaoqi drank a lot of fermented rice wine and was a little tipsy. He was less shy and more straightforward when he spoke! They were all smart people, so who could not understand his thoughts? The implication was that you should take care of yourself and be his wife. Such a straightforward way of expression made Yiyi's breath stagnate and her face flushed.

"Ah..." A soft cry instantly attracted everyone's attention. Yiyi touched her pregnant belly. She suddenly felt that the baby in her belly seemed to kick her. Realizing that she couldn't get emotional at this time, she quickly took a few deep breaths to increase the oxygen supply in her body.

"My dear, how is it?" Ling Wuxin's eyes were full of concern, while Xiaoqi and Xiaoba also looked nervous.

"The baby is moving! I can't be too excited..." Yiyi whispered. She was too embarrassed to look at the men.

"Okay, let's not get excited and don't think about anything. Let's talk about everything later!" Ling Wuxin rubbed her back to comfort her. When he raised his eyes, he glared at Xiao Qi. He had already made up his mind to settle the score with Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba later.

"Yiyi, you are a twin, so it must be more difficult for you than me. Try to stay calm and think about your elder sister!" Bai Lu gave this advice, focusing all on thinking about her elder sister and her three husbands. Yiyi, who was about to forget everything, became emotional again.

"..." Yiyi rolled her eyes at her. How could you be moral to tease a pregnant woman?! Sister, can you please stop talking about it? She temporarily accepted her inability and could not touch on this topic.

"Okay, okay! Let's stop talking. I don't know where my elder sister is." Bai Lu successfully received her rolling eyes and quickly changed the subject.

"It's almost time, they should be heading back!" Ye Xiao tactfully took over the topic.

"I want to go out and play too! Let's go out next year!" Bai Lu said what she wanted.

"Okay! My wife, let's talk about next year's affairs next year..." Ye Xiao fixed his eyes on his baby's bulging belly, wanting to remind him that the cub was still a baby next year, but he changed his words!

"Hahaha, that's great, Yiyi, let's do it together!" Pregnant Bailu didn't think much about it, her focus was that the man agreed!

"..." Yiyi smiled reluctantly, silly sister, please look at the reality! But looking at Bai Lu's bright smile, as long as her sister is happy! After all, she saw through it but didn't say it. Anyway, it will come true in the future!

"Do you like going out so much? Let's go to release animals and pray for blessings on the eighth day of the first lunar month!" Ling Wuxin has always been paying attention to Yiyi and can see the changes in her expression. So he made the decision to go to Jinjiang to release animals and pray for blessings on the eighth day of the first lunar month. At that time, they can take a big boat to float on the river, away from the crowd, which is not a big deal!

"Are you serious? Little uncle!" Before Yiyi could react, Xiaojiu shouted in surprise!

"Releasing animals to pray for blessings? Is there any saying about that?" Yiyi and Bailu also became interested. They both looked at Xiaojiu, expecting him to introduce more knowledge to them.

"Of course there are. Legend has it that the eighth day of the first lunar month is the day when all the stars descend to the mortal world. We can make small lanterns and light them on that day to worship them, which is called worshiping the stars. At the same time, the eighth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of millet. If the weather is clear on this day, it indicates a good harvest of rice in the new year. If it is cloudy, it indicates a good harvest of rice! So I must participate in releasing animals and praying for blessings on this day!" Xiaojiu said with great interest. Yiyi and Bailu looked at each other. So there is such a saying? !

"Praying is important, but don't forget to make experimental fields to increase production!" Bai Lu still reminded him, which made Xiao Jiu's eyes full of light. He smiled and nodded frequently to show that he would not forget. This was probably the time when Xiao Jiu was particularly happy to be disciplined. He interpreted it as the care and concern from his wife, so she disciplined him!

"Why do I feel like every day is a festival? Today we pray for blessings with tofu, and on the eighth day we release animals to pray for blessings. What about tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow?" Yiyi asked without understanding.

"Haha, you're right. After the Little New Year, we celebrate festivals every day until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month!" Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, Xiao Ba happily joined in.

"Yes, tomorrow is the 26th, and we will slaughter pigs and cut the New Year meat. A pig-killing banquet is inevitable!" Xiao Jiu continued.

"Well, the twenty-seventh is the day when we slaughter roosters and go to the big market. On this day, we prepare all the New Year's goods and dishes. The rooster is the protagonist of the dishes, and we name it "Da Ji Da Li", which means good luck!" Xiao Qi also spoke up.

"As for the twenty-eighth, we make rice cakes, steam buns, and stick flowers on them! We also cut window flowers and write couplets!" Night Owl introduced automatically.

"On the 29th, we invite our ancestors to a grand ceremony early in the morning. It is a grand ceremony to show filial piety and respect!" Ling Wuxin also said with a smile.

"Thirty, we all know this, it's New Year's Eve!" Bai Lu said directly.

"The first day of the new year is the day to open the doors and congratulate each other! I know this too. Do you give out red envelopes?" Yiyi asked.

“Hahaha…” Everyone laughed and looked at the head of the manor, Ling Wuxin, waiting for him to speak.

"Of course there is!" Ling Wuxin replied with a smile on his face.

"Oh! Then I say that on the second day of the New Year, we should go back to our parents' home, on the third day, we should sleep in and get up late, that is, we should sleep in and not affect the mouse's wedding, and on the fourth day, we should stay at home to prepare fruits, burn incense and light candles to welcome the Kitchen God!" Xiaojiu's crisp voice reported them one by one as if she knew all her treasures.

"So is the fifth day a time to welcome the God of Wealth?" Bai Lu asked.

"That's right. On the fifth day, we welcome the God of Wealth and get rid of poverty. On the sixth day, we send away the God of Poverty. On the seventh day, people are respected and we can't scold or scold children. We all know about it on the eighth day. On the ninth day, we have to offer sacrifices to the sky in an open air venue to ask for blessings from the God. On the tenth day, the stones cannot move, and the millstones cannot move. It's called the Stone Sacrifice Day..." Xiaojiu talked more and more bizarrely. Many of the things Yiyi and Bailu had never heard of. What they remembered were simplified festivals!

"How can there be such a magical festival? I haven't celebrated many festivals," Yiyi was very curious.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. It's only been two days. We can just slowly enjoy the rest of the festivals!" Seeing that everyone had eaten and drunk well, Ling Wuxin announced the end of the party. He was still thinking about rectifying the family tradition!

"Okay! Big brother, you guys go back first, we'll clean up here." Little Six Lu Yao hurriedly stood up and said. He had only been listening to his family's laughter tonight, and now it was his turn to show off.

"Sixth brother, don't worry, we will clean up with you before going back." Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are also hardworking people. They worked together with Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu to clean up the leftovers after dinner. They quickly rinsed them up and then went back to their homes!
