　　China Network February 9 (Reporter Guo Zehan) Deng Guirong, who lives in Zhangmiao Village, Gaosi Town, Xiangcheng City, Henan Province, likes "panic year". Since the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month this year, Deng Guirong and his daughter-in-law have been working together to kill pigs, steam steamed buns, fried noodles, fried chicken pieces and fried fish pieces … … She steamed the steamed bread and steamed buns with a pot and a large steamer and distributed them to her children, who also bought fruit, wine, beef and milk to visit Deng Guirong on New Year’s Eve.

　　Deng Guirong is over 77 years old and has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is in Zhangmiao Village, the youngest son is in Qingdao, and the daughter is in Xiangcheng. Every year, Deng Guirong takes turns to stay in three children’s homes for a period of time. She has become a "fragrant cake" that children compete for, and children feel very happy living with their old mother.

　　Deng Guirong likes to accept new things, learn to arrange flowers and spend the Spring Festival with Valentine’s Day. I also accept the concept of green diet in the Spring Festival and am willing to travel with children for the Spring Festival. The villagers described her as an old lady who can lead a life like a poem.

　　Spend the Spring Festival and Valentine’s Day together.

　　Although Deng Guirong’s face is full of wrinkles, he has never changed his pursuit of the trendy "girlish heart". Western Valentine’s Day is usually around New Year’s Eve. Under the influence of children, Deng Guirong has developed the habit of arranging flowers for the Spring Festival and Valentine’s Day in recent years. Every year before New Year’s Eve, she will buy a dozen flowers and put them in a basket in the living room to add festive atmosphere.

　　On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month this year, Deng Guirong bought roses, lilies and other flowers, wrapping paper, flower paste, flower baskets, ribbons and other necessities for flower arrangement, and followed the online video of flower arrangement played in iPad to learn flower arrangement.

　　"I used to buy fake flowers, which can be used for many years. Now my material living standard has improved, and my life taste and aesthetics have also improved. I often buy real flowers. True flowers have a refreshing fragrance, and flower arrangement can cultivate sentiment. " Deng Guirong said.

　　Online shopping for new year’s goods instead of electronic firecrackers instead of real guns

　　The villagers in Zhangmiao village have the custom of going to the market to buy new year’s goods before the Spring Festival. There are all kinds of goods in the collection, such as Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, candles, fireworks and firecrackers. Small business hawkers push tricycles to sell and shout along the street; Adults and children drink burnt fish soup, eat fried bean jelly and white wine Yuanxiao … …

　　Deng Guirong said that in fact, in the past two years, many people went to the market not for the fair, but purely to experience the fair culture. Nowadays, e-commerce is developed, and there are also e-commerce companies in rural areas. It is becoming more and more popular to buy new year’s goods online. You can press your finger and stay at home.

　　According to the traditional practice, on New Year’s Eve morning, every household in Zhangmiao Village posted Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers after dinner.

　　Deng Guirong told China Net reporter that in recent years, villagers began to pay attention to environmental protection, and almost no firecrackers were set off. Small supermarkets in the village stopped selling firecrackers and lanterns. "Now it is popular to set off electronic firecrackers in the New Year. When the remote control is pressed, firecrackers will sound like real firecrackers, which is lively and environmentally friendly."

　　Eat green, not big fish and big meat.

　　Deng Guirong told reporters that when guests are entertained at home in the first month, six bowls of main dishes will be placed on the table, symbolizing that everything will be smooth in the coming year. Braised pork is placed in the center of five bowls, and steamed chicken pieces, steamed fish pieces, crispy meat, chowder and vinegar-preserved cabbage are placed around the braised pork in a plum blossom shape.

　　Deng Guirong said that in the past, when guests came home for dinner, they generally didn’t put the bowl of braised pork in the middle. The guests know that this bowl of braised pork is the best dish saved by the host in a year. At that time, the host had to "let" eat it over and over again, urging the guests to eat braised pork.

　　"Now these bowls of steamed vegetables have become furnishings, and everyone pursues a green diet. Big fish and big meat are high in calories, which is not conducive to health. Have a simple jiaozi on New Year’s Eve, mixed with some vegetable and fruit salad, bean curd skin, aspic, sausage and so on. Everyone eats health and lives a quality life. " Deng Guirong said.

　　On the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, children helped Deng Guirong cook, play bellows and cut vegetables by the underground pot, and Deng Guirong was still an indispensable "chef" in that family.

　　"Sitting in front of the ground pot and burning firewood, listening to the old mother talking about the old and new changes, accompanied by the sound of firewood being burned, the warm feeling of childhood came again." Jason, Deng Guirong’s youngest son, said.

　　Traditional parties are as indispensable as traveling for the New Year.

　　Deng Guirong’s husband has five brothers, her husband is the second, and her husband has been dead for many years. On New Year’s Day every year, her husband’s brothers bring their own children and grandchildren to pay New Year’s greetings to Deng Guirong, and eat and chat together. Deng Guirong likes this happy feeling very much.

　　"I used to stay at home from the first day to the fifth day, and I could heat the dishes on New Year’s Eve to the fifth day. In recent years, after the first family reunion, they went out to travel together. " Deng Guirong said that her daughter took her to Xi ‘an for the Spring Festival last year, visited Xi ‘an Datang Furong Garden and ate traditional snacks in Xi ‘an.

　　After the Spring Festival this year, Deng Guirong plans to take a high-speed train trip to Hong Kong with his children to see a gourmet paradise and a shopping paradise.

　　She said that her children are very filial and said that they would show me more about the outside world. "I go out to play is secondary, mainly want to get together with the children and talk. I have been looking forward to it for a year, and the children have all gone home. I am happy. "

　　Deng Guirong is an old lady with affinity. Grandsons and granddaughters all like to be close to her and are more willing to listen to her talk about the past. Everyone in the village says that Deng Guirong is an old lady who can make a poem out of her life. The Spring Festival also made her live a beautiful life like a poem.
