There is a custom of keeping watch on New Year's Eve, and I was told not to go out a few hours later. Our family also has the habit of welcoming the kitchen god, burning bowls of noodles and dumplings on the kitchen stove. On New Year's Eve, the stove is on, and we eat wonton or jiaozi in the evening. Some people will cook fish at home, but they won't eat them all. They should keep some for more than a year. Fireworks are set off after dinner. In the countryside, people set off all kinds of fireworks. I like small linear ones best. In the city, I can only set off fireworks. When I play with fireworks, I will go back to my room. When you are in love, you always send messages to your boyfriend. He will call me 12 to say Happy New Year. When I am not in love, I will watch the Spring Festival Gala with my brother. When I see the final countdown, I will count with them and go to sleep. The sound of fireworks kept going all night, so I couldn't sleep at all.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will set off firecrackers to get a good omen. My family was basically the first when I was in the country, and my grandfather got up the earliest. If I don't get the first one, my grandfather will be very disappointed. When I get up in the morning, I will pay a New Year call to my grandparents first. My mother will get up and cook them two bowls of poof fruit. There is a legend that a female fellow villager can sleep late at the beginning of the lunar new year and a male fellow villager should get up early. My grandparents can say auspicious words, such as "Tiger Gage". When I am in the country, I will go to the temple with my grandma to burn incense and make a wish (I find the city really monotonous), and my grandparents will also give me and my brother red envelopes. Then go to my parents' room to pay New Year greetings. I had the cheek to ask my mother for a red envelope. My mother is very stingy and doesn't give as much as my grandparents. Of course, I won't ask for a red envelope now.
