For example, in our family, I am a girl, but I often go to my mother's house to pay New Year greetings on the first day, because I want to play with my aunt who grew up together and my cousins who haven't seen me for a long time on the second day. Because there are three aunts and no uncles, everyone will get together in our house on the second day of junior high school. If you go to your grandmother's house on the second day and there is no one at home, then you will also go to your grandmother's house on the first day to pay New Year greetings. If we go to my grandmother's house on the second day of the second year, no one will entertain us, because my grandparents will go to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, and my uncle will also go to my mother-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, so everyone has been tacitly cooperating for so many years and can get together for a few days every year.
Today in previous years, my aunts would come earlier, but it began to snow at six o'clock in the morning and even snowed at noon. I was still lying in bed in the morning, looking forward to my cousin's arrival. I asked and said I might come at six in the afternoon. It's past two o'clock and the snow hasn't stopped. My husband, parents and I are still eagerly waiting for them to come. Although sometimes a group of people get annoyed when they quarrel, I really miss them when I'm not here.
At half past three, the snow stopped and rays of sunshine shook on the horizon. They didn't come and didn't contact. We are going to take a walk in the mountains and are about to go out. The younger son of the elder cousin sent a voice to my mother, saying, "Auntie, get your delicious food ready quickly. I'll come right away." My mother lied to him that we are not at home, only Zuzu is at home, so you can cook by yourself. Her second daughter replied, "You tell me where your bacon trotters are, and I will cook them myself." Ha ha ha, really cute and witty. And my mother is scrambling to clear the table at this time. Soon after finishing packing, my aunt, uncle, aunt and grandfather all came. My father took the initiative to bring all the delicious food at home to the table. The younger one hasn't come yet, so I'm going back to my hometown with my cousin and husband. Their hometown is only two kilometers away from my home. Because my cousin died, my cousin's family lived in her aunt's house, not her in-law's, and her mother-in-law lived in her daughter's house all the year round.
My sister-in-law didn't come until about five o'clock. They just came to see my godmother and invited me to dinner. My husband and I kept the baby for dinner, not without him, but because it was too cold outside, he had to stay at home.
When I come back from dinner, my second aunt will pay a New Year call to two sisters-in-law's house. I am also a married daughter, so I will go. But my second aunt and sister-in-law were afraid of the cold and didn't want to go, so they sent my second uncle and my little cousin. Nobody ordered me, so I had to go by myself. My husband doesn't know what he ate yesterday. He began to have diarrhea last night, and taking medicine didn't help. Moreover, he will do this every year here for the New Year, vomiting and diarrhea, saying that it is not acclimatized. All the people who know him here are old people, and nothing happens when they come back in summer. I made a wild guess that he had no good life to eat meat.
It's six o'clock since my sister-in-law's house. Mom and dad have prepared dinner. We ate. We went upstairs to wash the baby's newly changed pants and cleaned up the bathroom. My husband has been using it these days. It's a mess. Take this opportunity to clean up quickly.
I don't know how people sit down at a big table downstairs. There must be another person who hasn't had enough to eat. Let's break our fingers and count. Second aunt, second uncle, great aunt, grandfather, sister-in-law, little cousin, third aunt, third uncle, second aunt, second aunt, second aunt's son, my grandfather, my father and my mother. Our family of three didn't go to the table, and the younger brother and the young couple went to the mother-in-law's house. My little brother didn't come today, my big cousin's family of five didn't come, my second aunt didn't come, and my third aunt's son didn't come. I usually come on Mid-Autumn Festival. If the weather is fine, I have to set three tables in the yard.
On the second day of every year, we are all tired, but everyone is happy and quarrels all day. Since the third grade, the army has been walking around Sanyi's house. Generally, it is arranged in advance when to go to whose house, how many people to go to and when to eat. People who go are not in a hurry. They get up very slowly in the morning. Touch the doorway and tidy up before you go, because the big meal is ready, so you don't have to worry about it yourself.
On the fourth day of the third grade, the grandmothers will come back for the New Year on the fifth day. I wonder if this custom exists in other places.
Now everyone can get together on the second day, because grandpa is still here and aunts' homes are still there. I hope grandpa can live forever and keep the family busy forever.
