On February 1950, 2, Xinhua ushered in its first Spring Festival. On this day, everyone in Beijing rushed back and gathered at the Tang family's old house. The Chen family's uncle and aunt came to Beijing with their children early in the morning, and they spent this year at Chen's house. It has only been four months since the founding of New China, and everything is waiting to be revitalized. Social order has not yet been fully restored, but for the sons and daughters of China, this is the first peaceful year in decades. The Chinese people, who have experienced the invasion of foreign enemies and the devastation of war, attach great importance to this Spring Festival.

The government has already begun to control prices. It has also decided to have a three-day holiday nationwide, and called on government staff at all levels not to entertain guests or receive or send gifts during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival. These regulations make the people feel that this Spring Festival is different from the past. . Although Mr. Tang, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the second sister-in-law of the Tang family were unable to come back due to work reasons, Mrs. Tang and the sister-in-law of the Tang family still carefully prepared New Year items and were beaming every day when they came in and out.

On the twenty-sixth, cut the meat; on the twenty-seventh, slaughter the New Year's chicken; on the twenty-eighth, make the noodles; on the twenty-nine, steam the steamed buns. As New Year's Eve approaches, people are also getting busy in an orderly manner to have a prosperous life. Making preparations for the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, the Tang family was a lively and joyful scene. The sugar baby was dressed in a red blouse and dressed up like a festive New Year doll, and was held in the arms of several elders in turn. When he got up in the morning, Dad Tang prepared his pen and ink and started writing Spring Festival couplets. Large and small Spring Festival couplets were filled with auspicious words, such as: good luck to the home, happiness to the whole family, good harvest, etc. After writing, he greeted several church members. My brother helped us put them up everywhere in the house. No matter where you come from, as Chinese descendants, you must decorate your home during the Chinese New Year. The unified aesthetic is recognized, and the New Year will be prosperous, which indicates the expectations for the new year in the future, and looks forward to the coming year. It will be lively and prosperous. There is also a custom in Sichuan Province of hanging lanterns during the New Year. After posting the couplets, Dad Tang led the boys to hang up the lanterns. Then he continued to write the word "福" in different fonts, and the boys chose the place to stick it up. Pasting the word "福" means full of blessings. Tang's father, on the other hand, held Tang Xin and watched his brothers busy.

For a time, the whole old house was in full swing, with the noise of children, the sound of chopping vegetables and bursts of laughter coming from the kitchen, and occasionally the sound of firecrackers coming from outside. There were festive scenes everywhere and prosperity everywhere. Father Tang held Tang Xin in his arms and looked at the lively scene in front of him, his heart agitated. This is the reason why they are working hard. The country is peaceful and the people are stable. This is the good life they are looking forward to.

After wandering around all morning, Tang's father was called to help, and Tang Xin was put into the stroller, watched by several brothers. Tang Xin watched the six little brothers gather around and play games. China is now in a period of post-war reconstruction. During this period, social and economic development is slow and cultural life is relatively monotonous. In such an environment, the games played by children at that time were not as colorful as they are now.

The most popular toy is playing cards, and many families will get together to play in the evening. This is not only a way of entertainment, but also a social activity. In addition, children also enjoy playing with slingshots, spinning tops and kites. Since these games require children to be active outdoors, now that the weather is cold, they are reluctant to go out and play cards at home. After watching it for a while, Tang Xin felt that it was boring. There are still too few toys and games for children now. If she grows up and can express her language clearly, she must think of more games and teach them to play. The cousin was sitting next to Tang Xin, looking at the storybook that Tang's father had given him. From time to time, he turned to look at Tang Xin in the stroller. When he found Tang Xin yawning, he quickly went to the kitchen and called out his third aunt. Tang's mother took Tang Xin back to the room and coaxed her to sleep. Tang Xin actually didn't want to sleep. After all, this was the time she came. This is the first New Year in this world, and she wants to take a good look at how the New Year is celebrated now.

With the modernization of the economy and society, the improvement of people's material life and the improvement of living standards, the big fish and meat that were originally only available during the Spring Festival can now be eaten in daily life. Therefore, people have less expectations for the Spring Festival. In addition, as the level of urbanization becomes higher and higher, many people begin to go out to work, and more and more people go out of their hometowns and rarely celebrate the New Year at home. New Year customs and traditions are also gradually being lost. People's living circles are no longer limited to a small place. Family members who used to be together are scattered all over the world. The relationships between people are also becoming more and more distant. The bonds that maintain emotions are no longer limited. There is a lack of contact. The distance between people Emotions are becoming more and more indifferent. So Tang Xin likes the current atmosphere very much, and she wants to fully experience this long-lost new year.

But she was really sleepy, so she fell asleep amidst Tang's mother's soft murmur.

Soon, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon. Tang Xin was woken up by her brother. She looked at her brother in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do. Tang's father and mother had always taught Tang Zhanbo not to make noises when the sugar baby was sleeping. Wake her up, otherwise she will make her cry and they will be angry. Although Tang Xin was not a real baby, it was okay if she was woken up, but the elder brother and the others did not know. The elder brother still firmly remembered her parents' words and never disturbed her sleep. How could he wake her up today?

Seeing that Tang Xin was awake, Zhan Bo gave his sister a reassuring smile and whispered to her, "Sister, be good, don't cry. It's time to have the New Year's Eve dinner. The teacher said that the New Year's Eve dinner is a reunion dinner and all family members are required to be there." Together, grandpa and uncle are not at home, so we can’t leave out Tangbao. Be good, sugarbaby. Brother will take you to dinner.”

As he spoke, Tang Zhanbo turned around and called, "Fifth brother, my sister is awake, come in." The fifth cousin poked his head out of the door and saw that Tang Xin's round eyes were open and not crying, so he walked in with confidence. . The two little ones were lying on the bedside looking at Tang Xin, discussing how to take their sister out. Tang Xin looked at the two little ones and wanted to take her out, so that their little arms and legs wouldn't hurt her. But she could still express herself now, she could only shake her head and scream, refusing. But the two little guys couldn't understand her meaning at all, and they still tried to pick her up. Tang Xin was almost desperate, thinking about whether to go all out and cry loudly, so as to attract the attention of adults outside?

"What are you doing?" A young boy's voice suddenly sounded like the sound of nature. It turned out to be the cousin. After the Chinese New Year, the eldest cousin is already twelve years old. He has inherited the excellent genes of the Tang family. The eldest cousin is very tall and has the appearance of a teenager. He found that his two youngest brothers were missing outside. He was worried that they were being naughty, so he searched around. Unexpectedly, he found them in the room where the sugar baby rested. Fortunately, he found them in time. These two little brothers really almost got into trouble. disaster. They actually tried to pick up the sugar baby. What if they were so naive and dropped the sugar baby? The cousin quickly walked into the room and saw the sugar baby with her mouth puckered. He quickly picked her up and coaxed her softly. Then he sternly warned the two younger brothers that they are not allowed to hold the sugar baby easily in the future. They are still too young and they will be beaten if the sugar baby is hurt. The two younger brothers also realized their mistake and were even more afraid of being beaten by the adults in the family, so they begged the elder cousin not to tell the adults. In fact, in my family, my eldest cousin is the person who is most like my grandfather and uncle. He is upright, serious, and quite dignified in front of his younger brothers.

The elder cousin did not relent because of the younger brothers' request. Making a mistake was a mistake. If he covered it up for them this time, with their lawless personalities, these two little guys might make some mistakes again in the future. The most important thing is that they really almost hurt Tangbao. This problem is too serious. Tangbao is the treasure of their old Tang family. If a child like this is injured, it will be heartbreaking. Therefore, he took the sugar baby and led his two younger brothers to find his third uncle and third aunt. First, he admitted his mistakes to his third uncle and third aunt. The brothers made mistakes because he, the older brother, did not take good care of them. He was also responsible.
