One hundred and eighty-fourth New Year Lothar

The next thing is to prepare for "Losa" (New Year).

Annu planted barley and wheat seeds that had been soaked in a tiled pot filled with fat soil and placed them in the room. There were braziers in the room all day long, and the temperature was high, so the seedlings grew quickly.

When I first spent Lothar, my grandmother Bai Zhen taught me how to do these things step by step, and I also gave me a handful of pea sprouts. Although I had been with Bai Zhen for only half a year, after I came to Chaya and became a housewife, all the things my grandmother taught came in handy. She thought to myself, would Bai Mu, who had married and had children, miss her like me?

Zhuoma saw the growing seedlings lush green and said happily: "The harvest next year will definitely be good." She turned to Annu and said: "Well, try the chicken farm?"

Is this agreed? Annu smiled happily: "I will write to my sister-in-law in Kaichun."

She will leave next summer, and everything here will be hosted by Zhuoma. If she does not agree with her new farm plan, then no matter how careful the plan is, it will be useless.

Seeing that she was so happy, Zhuoma couldn't help but expose her dream bubble: "What if I don't agree?"

"No, no, you must agree. Yes, there is also a pig farm, which is the kind of fragrant pig. It is just a free-range pig in the forest, just be careful of beasts, it is easy to raise. Next year, I will send it to the Central Plains as a tribute." Anu hugged her coquettishly and shook her. Zhuoma was dizzy by her: "Qing Niang, this child is still like this. Unfortunately, Nan Mujie and the others took the child to the arrow furnace, otherwise the family could be reunited."

"Yes, it would be great if Ah Zhong was there. He liked to eat delicious pork the most." Shen Qingniang looked at the ice and snow world outside and sighed with emotion. She never thought she would return to Tubo again. If Ah Zhong was there, it would be a reunion for the family.

Dunzhu, Zhuoma, Anu and others were busy preparing for Lossa all day long. They prepared a sheep head symbolizing good luck and decorated it with ghee. Ghee, green oil, white flour were prepared, and fryed into fruits one after another. At the same time, they made a grain dot for "Qima" (ghee, tsampa, and sugar-mixed powder).

Two days before New Year's Eve, every family cleaned up, clearing the smoke and dust that was blackened by the stove all year round, and cleaning the garbage inside and outside the house. In the early morning of the 29th, the sweeping smoke and dust were divided into nine piles and poured them into a row in the middle of the road that people and animals must pass through, and the dirty water after shampooing the whole family was also poured on the road. It is believed that dirty water and smoke and dust were trampled on the road by thousands of people and thousands of people, which can avoid all unlucky and disasters, and there will be no illness or disaster in the coming year, and happiness and well-being. Before dinner, paint red mud in the center of the cleaned stove wall, or paint with colorful brushes such as "Flame-Spraying Wei Ni" and sun, moon, stars, and eight auspicious signs. Rows of white powder dots on the beams and purlins of the cooking smoke are black, symbolizing the health of the family, the harvest of grain, and the prosperity of livestock in the coming year.

At night, the whole family reunites, and shares the "Ancient Trekking" symbolizing farewell to the old and welcomes the new. It means porridge in the ninth lunar month. It is a porridge made of grains, meat, ginseng fruit, milk residue, and fruit. It is a bit like the eight-treasure porridge of the Han people. The twins like to eat it very much. Anu wants them to eat with a spoon, but their hands are not stable. It is fine if they try it a few times, but they can already grab things with their hands. Xi Jin fell in love with the feeding game, and often grabs a piece of fruit covered with suspicious liquid on his hand and feeds it around the adults. If they don't eat it, they flatten their mouths and cry. Anu is the first to be forced to eat their daughter's saliva every time. Fortunately, they gave birth to it by themselves. If other children come here, they will be unable to bear it.

Xi Jin also found that his brother was very fun and would eat whatever he stuffed it with. No matter how sweet, bitter, soft, and hard it was not as unhappy as his parents. Once Qiongma found that Xi Luo could not swallow it for a long time, and she looked a little nauseous. When she opened his mouth, she saw that it was a piece of amber the size of a copper coin, which was on the broken necklace of Yundan. She was snatched away by Xi Jin before. Everyone was so scared that they were so scared that they looked at them tightly afterwards.

When the hands and feet are not flexible, the twins will lick the things they can touch with their tongues. Since their hands can hold on to the things they can touch, they will stuff all the things they can touch into their mouths as soon as they are extremely fast, and they often see their cheeks bulging when they turn around. They are really stuck by the solid walls and clear wilderness, so their fingers come in handy. Once, almost the entire fist is wrapped in, and then they retching there, but they are reluctant to take it out.

I coaxed and beat and scolded me, but it was useless. In the end, Anu heard a folk remedy, so I soaked my two children's hands in Coptis chinensis water. For a few days, my hands were so bitter and numb. Gradually, they stopped licking their fingers, but they would still put things in their mouths. Anu had no choice but to let people look at them tightly, but they didn't expect that they would feed each other at the beginning. Looking at the piece of amber that was taken out, she wiped a cold sweat. Raising a child was a 24-hour all-weather job, and there was almost no time to rest.

The next day was New Year's Eve. They placed various foods in the center of the Buddha's niche, and stewed beef, sheep heads, meat, ginseng fruits for "push" (a rectangular solid food made of butter, milk residue and sugar). They put on beautiful card cushions at home, and everyone put on new clothes, and they looked brand new.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Anu leaned over the table and taught the children to speak: "Come on, I'll review it in the past two days. What are you going to visit my grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings? I want to say Lossan (Happy New Year) and Rossazisidle (Good New Year). "They are going to Chamuduo to see Luosan in the future after the third year of the dynasty.

The repetition of the twins' scent.

Xi Jin heard the door ringing and saw Yun Dan coming in and hurriedly reached out to hug her. Xi Luo was not willing to be outdone, so he picked up the portrait of Liu Zhong and the twins and raised it high: "Dad, Dad."

Anu laughed "splash": "A Zhong must be so proud when he saw it."

Yun Dan quickly took one hand and coaxed them with bad intentions: "You want to call me dad, and my dad will call me next year."

"Next year will be next in two hours." Anu laughed.

He thought it was right and quickly changed his words: "Then let's go to the next year."

Anu laughed loudly, the family was playing, and the notification from the maid Chuma came from outside, and Sanyan's Wangdan arrived.

Yun Dan's face changed. Sanyan also bordered Tashi's territory. He asked Wang Dan to pay attention to the movements there before. He came on New Year's Eve, but he was afraid that there would be important news.

He didn't come back all night, and there was a heavy snow outside. Anu tossed and turned in a state of uneasy, feeling that the candle was so bright that it was so uncomfortable, so he simply got up and made a palace lampshade for the candlestick with mesh and wire.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. The whole family got up early in the morning. After the chicken cried, Lager went to the scripture hall to burn incense and pay tribute.

Ram walked into the manor with a large bucket of water on his back with a smile: "The first bucket of holy water I grabbed by the spring on the mountain."

Zhuoma raised his hands and thanked: "I'm working hard."

Ram was a little shy: "I went to grab it last year, just because the wife is not here." She was not used to the arrogant master who used to be so polite to her. She was still a female slave last year, and this year she had different status. After they got married, Anu still let them go. Yun Dan said that if it were apart from Tashi, Tashi's territory would be Lalong.

Dunzhu smiled: "Indeed, the spring water is in the deep mountains, and others go to the river to grab the first bucket of water. In previous years, only Little Ram was willing to run so far. But you have just gotten married, and Laron is willing to let you get up in the middle of the night?"

"In the middle of the night, Laron was called by the prince. I couldn't sleep, so I just got up." Ram blushed.

Dunzhu didn't know the reason why Yun Dan went out, and Annu quickly changed the topic: "You have to grab this water?"

Zhuoma turned to her and explained, "The first holy water I grabbed in the New Year is gold and mercury water. If you drink tea, you will be healthy and long-lasting."

The maid quickly took the bucket of water, boiled butter tea and presented it to Lager first.

During breakfast, the family was dressed in their new clothes in a regular manner and sat down. Dunzhu raised his hands to fight with his hands, preparing to wish the whole family a New Year's "Zashi Dele", but she didn't see Yun Dan. Seeing her eyes coming, Anu shook her head at her and signaled not to ask in front of Lager. Lager's health is already very poor, it's best to hide it from him.

Dunzhu lost his mind for a while, and then used his thumb, index finger and middle finger to pinch "Qima" in the air three times, toast, dip tea with ring finger in a bowl, and shot it three times in the air, all of which expressed respect for the three treasures (bodhisattva, lama, scripture). Then the family blessed each other, and then enjoyed breakfast tsampa, ghee, milk residue, push, cake, fruit, ginseng fruit, beef and mutton, etc.

On the first day of the first day of the lunar month, the family usually reunites and does not visit each other. In the second day of the lunar month, relatives and friends wish each other a happy New Year and wish each other a happy New Year.

The snow is bright and the world is white. You can hear people walking around on the snow. Until breakfast, Yun Dan has not come back. Anu thought that he really has no life for the New Year. He has finally had a complete New Year for more than ten years, but his husband is still absent from two.

Rag didn't see his son and finally asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhuoma quickly answered: "He has something to do and will come back later."

Is there anything more important than a family dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Lager doesn't speak.
