"You don't have to be so polite to me." Lin Xiyan noticed her mood swings and changed the subject, "Don't go to the flower market! When I come back, we're going to have a reunion dinner."

"Why?" Zhou Guangming said in confusion, "You can take me there even if you ride a bike!"

"It's not that you don't want to go, but the flower market is narrow. Every year, the flower market occupies a lot of streets and public roads, with only one or two driving lanes left for bicycles and pedestrians to drive. The traffic is very inconvenient. The venue is not big and there are many people. It's completely pushed by people, making it difficult to choose New Year's flowers." Lin Xiyan looked at him patiently and said, "There are so many people on the flower street that you can't imagine. If you get separated, it's very difficult to find."

Hua Banzhi nodded heavily after hearing this, "Your uncle is right. We are not very skilled in Cantonese language for the first time. We are not very skilled in Cantonese, so we should be careful. If you lose you, what should I do?" Now there is no speaker radio, and once we get separated, we can't find it.

"And when you were visiting the flower market with your mother, you could only hold your mother's hand tightly, and you had no time to care about the New Year flowers around you. What's the point of going like this?" Lin Xiyan explained to Zhou Guangming patiently.

"But isn't it the same when you go with you?" Zhou Guangming said in confusion.

"I will let you ride on my shoulders, be high above, and it will not prevent you from seeing the fresh things at all." Lin Xiyan patted his thick shoulder and said.

"Ah!" Zhou Guangming looked at him with moist eyes.

"Why are you crying during the New Year?" Lin Xiyan looked at him in confusion and said, looking at Hua Banzhi anxiously and said, "Zhizhi, is he?"

"It's touched! Does Guangming envy other children who can ride a big horse?" Hua Banzhi shook his black eyes.

"Yeah!" Zhou Guangming nodded heavily, and said with a choked voice, "I am so envious when I watch someone else's father carrying his own children in my hometown. Grandpa wants to carry me, but my mother doesn't let me go. I'm old. What if I have someone?"

"My uncle is young and strong, and he will definitely carry our light." Lin Xiyan pinched his chubby cheeks and said, "It's the New Year, be happy and don't cry!"

"Yes!" Zhou Guangming raised the back of his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Okay, I'll go to work." Lin Xiyan looked at them and said, "We'll go to the flower market after lunch."

"Yes!" Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming sent him away, put the tablet in the bedroom first, and then began to clean up the dining table.

As the saying goes, no chicken can make a banquet, no fish can make a meal.

Chicken is the best poultry to feed in cities and villages. In the past, poor families would have thought of raising a chicken for the New Year and slaughtered during the Chinese New Year. The main dish that people are most likely to obtain. Chicken has always represented the meaning of auspiciousness, joy, beauty and other blessings, and it is precisely because of this that there will be chicken at formal banquets.

Fish is also an indispensable dish. Although there are many thorns, some people don’t like to eat them very much. More importantly, it is for good luck. After all, the old saying often says “there is surplus every year”. There are also some special things when serving fish. The fish head cannot face people. There is a saying that if the fish head faces, you should drink three cups first, and then place the fish head in an empty position.

There is no shortage of fish here, whether it is freshwater or sea fish.

As for the chickens, they were raised half of the flowers! After washing the dishes, she cooked a pot of hot water, killed two chickens during the New Year, and gave one to Qin Kaise and the others. Because the children were making trouble and the work, they didn't even buy New Year's goods.

After Lin Xiyan came back, he asked him to send a slaughtered chicken.

The three of them had a very sumptuous reunion dinner. They set up the dining table and set up the dishes and chopsticks. Zhou Guangming said excitedly, "I'll go and fire the fire."

There is no ban on the ban now, but there is no problem in making it. Of course, your wallet is bulging.

‘Crack…’ After setting off the firecrackers, even though the door was closed, the smell of gunpowder still penetrated into the room with all holes, and it took a while to dissipate.

Lin Xiyan looked at the two people sitting obediently at the Eight Immortals table, picked up the chopsticks, and said with a warm smile, "Eat."

"I feel I can't finish it!" Zhou Guangming looked at the stewed chicken, braised fish, and braised prawns on the table...

"It's right that I can't finish it, I have more than every year!" Hua Banzhi said with a smile at him.

"Ah! I remembered it." Zhou Guangming suddenly said, "When I was in my hometown, my grandfather always kept a little. I was very surprised at that time. Why did I keep it if I couldn't eat enough? I always clamored. Later, I endured it when I found out."

"The little fool doesn't have to endure it now." Lin Xiyan held the chopsticks and grabbed the fish belly with the most delicious fish meat into his bowl, "Eat."

"Yeah!" Zhou Guangming nodded heavily and said, "Mom, uncle to have dinner."

"I have eaten all these, and I have left them in the kitchen every year." Hua Banzhi said with a smile on her.

The three of them finished their meal happily and packed the table.

Lin Xiyan chopped the dumpling stuffing in a casual manner and mixed the noodles with half a branch. He planned to go to the flower market and make dumplings when he came back. It was not too late.

The family of three wore new clothes, and Lin Xiyan rode a bicycle to carry Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming to the flower market.

After the rain, the bright sunshine comes out, and the warm sunshine dispels the coldness.

Along the way, Lin Xiyan introduced them to the traditional flower market as he walked. "The flower market in Yangcheng originated from Huadutou. Its formation can be traced back to or before the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the flower market, the medicine market, the fragrance city, and the Zhu city were called the four cities in Lingnan. It had a wide influence and had the opportunity to take you to see and see." After a pause, the flower market developed again, and expanded from each city gate to the city, and it was open all day long, and it developed from a single scented and jasmine flower to diversification. After the Revolution of 1911, the old city was demolished and the flower market expanded. With the rise of the Thirteenth Foreign Exchange, the flower streets became more prosperous.

The flower market before the Fanfu Department gradually became a New Year's flower market. In addition to selling flowers, it also sells antiques, New Year's products, etc. We want to go to the most lively place for the New Year. Even during the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese planes flew around our heads every day, citizens still like to go shopping here to sell flowers.

After liberation, the New Year Flower Market starts from the 28th day of the 12th lunar month every year, for three consecutive days.”

Lin Xiyan briefly talked about the past and present of the flower market in one breath, giving Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming the two old hats.

Lin Xiyan said proudly, "As one of the four cities in Lingnan in the Ming Dynasty, Yangcheng Flower Market has long been famous in the five continents and is well-known all over the world. The Flower Market is a unique folk landscape for growing flowers. It not only presents the ancient Spring Festival customs of Lingnan, but also closely related to the lives of locals. The Flower Market integrates the tradition of humanistic ideas, thus forming its own unique flower language."
