New Year Collection Prose Essays

The Spring Festival is approaching, and although modern supermarkets are everywhere, people are still keen to catch the New Year’s market. It seems that only by attending the New Year’s Fair can we fully enjoy the New Year.

According to the custom in my hometown, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month is considered a baby gathering. On this day, the children who had been locked up in school for a semester were finally liberated. They poured into the streets in groups. Most of the items sold at the market are related to children. Each stall is hung and piled with all kinds of clothes worn by children, from clothes for newborn babies to clothes for fourteen-year-olds and fifteen-and-a-half-year-olds. There are all kinds of clothes, colorful and arranged in different categories. The people crowded in front of the stall are also grandparents, parents, and everyone happily chooses clothes that can make their children look beautiful and handsome - during the holidays, whose children have good traditions, adults also think A person with a bright face shows that his family's life is good and that he is capable. As for the price, that comes second. Just walking down the street, people already have big and small bags full of clothes. Of course, no one can forget to buy some new clothes for the elderly at home. During the Chinese New Year, both adults and children are happy.

Walking out of the clothing street and arriving at the intersection, there are all kinds of snacks and gadgets that children like everywhere. As soon as the children came here, their eyes were attracted by the colorful things on the stalls, and their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to walk. The adults stopped and let the children choose some electric guns and remote control cars at will. After a while, the child left with grilled sausages, grilled gluten, spicy skewers, etc., with a bunch of toys in his arms and a bunch of toys hanging around his neck...

There are indispensable things on both sides of the street. , there are also New Year painting stalls. Although the living room is no longer suitable for hanging New Year pictures, people still buy a few of them, because during the New Year, they always send New Year pictures to their grandchildren and nephews. This habit has become an unchangeable custom. Of course, people also invite several statues of the door god and kitchen god to take home to bless the whole family. As for incense candles and paper money, they are even more indispensable. They are used to honor ancestors and gods.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, although there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year, the dried and fresh vegetables in the vegetable market are already piled as high as a mountain. Many impatient people carry large bags of vegetables home, such as Chinese cabbage, carrots and vermicelli. Those selling vegetables were surrounded by agricultural trucks filled with vegetables, and the bamboo beds under the trucks were also piled with vegetables. They were in high spirits, shouting loudly while collecting money... As a result, the whole market was filled with noise.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is the market day for selling meat. On this day, the streets were filled with piles of meat. Fans of pork, piles of pig heads and legs. Not long after the market opened this morning, crowds of people crowded into the market. Some people were not in a hurry, asking questions here and looking there, with their hands behind their backs. But some city people did not have so much patience, and they did not care. The price of meat was relatively high when the market first opened. As long as I picked the best meat, I paid the price and took it home. After an hour, many farmers in the countryside came to sell the pigs they killed. When there was more meat, the price dropped. Those calm people took action and picked a piece of their own. After several haggling, the two sides won. I was so nervous, but in the end I made the deal with a smile.

After the 24th, what was sold in the market every day were cucumbers, mushrooms, beans and other fine vegetables. There are also beef and mutton, frozen and live chickens, etc., and there are also big pots for cooking bacon that are filled with the aroma of meat. People took their time and walked slowly on the market, picking out what they needed while slowly savoring the strong flavor of the New Year.
