【1】Every year, I will have a very happy Laba Festival. Come and share my happy Laba Festival with you!

Every year, I eagerly await the arrival of the Laba Festival, a time filled with joy and warmth. I would like to invite you all to join me in celebrating this special occasion!

【2】Laba porridge is cooked for me on this day every year. It is said that in ancient times, evil spirits always came out on the Laba day of the lunar calendar to frighten children. However, the evil ghost is not afraid of heaven and earth. He is only afraid of red beans. Therefore, there is the saying of "red beans" beating ghosts, so adults boil Laba porridge with red beans, mung beans, peanuts and raisins, that is, Babao porridge.

On the Laba Festival, my family tradition is to prepare a pot of Laba porridge, filled with a variety of ingredients such as red beans, mung beans, peanuts, and raisins. This concoction is not only a delicious meal but also a symbol of protection against evil spirits, as it is believed that these creatures fear the powerful red beans.

【3】After drinking Laba porridge, I began to do the second thing, that is Laba garlic. The garlic soaked in Laba is no longer white, but green or yellow on New Year's Eve. The green garlic is crystal clear, like a flawless emerald, and the Yellow garlic is like sweet dried apricots. Eating the emerald and dried apricot garlic, I wish you could eat more delicious dumplings.

Following the consumption of Laba porridge, the next activity on my list is the preparation of Laba garlic. Soaked in Laba solution, the garlic cloves transform, no longer white but taking on a green or yellow hue by New Year's Eve. The green variety boasts a clarity akin to that of a perfect emerald, while the yellow variety resembles sweet, dried apricots. Consuming this garlic is said to bring forth an appetite for the delectable dumplings that are a staple of the festive season.

【4】Busy with new year's Eve supplies, I began to prepare new year's food. First of all, I put all kinds of fruits, dried fruits and melon seeds on the table, then cleaned the plates on the table, and put the dried fruits, melon seeds and fruits on the plate one by one. Grandma smiled and said, "my child has grown up quietly."

Engulfed in the bustle of New Year's Eve preparations, I set about organizing our festive feast. Arraying the table with a variety of fruits, dried fruits, and melon seeds, I meticulously sorted and arranged these items. My grandmother, observing this, expressed her delight with a smile, "My child, you have grown up without my realizing it."

【5】On this day, I learned from my grandmother about the custom of Laba Festival in Beijing. I learned that the Laba Festival in Beijing not only needs to eat Laba porridge and soak Laba garlic, but also drink a bowl of hot sheep bone soup.

On this day, my grandmother shared with me the customs of the Laba Festival in Beijing. I discovered that, in addition to the consumption of Laba porridge and the preparation of Laba garlic, it is also customary to enjoy a bowl of piping hot sheep bone soup.

【6】There are many customs of Laba Festival. Let's share it with you today. I wish you all a happy Laba Festival tomorrow.

Today, I would like to share with you some of the many customs associated with the Laba Festival. Wishing you all a joyful Laba Festival tomorrow.

【7】"Laba Laba, freeze your chin". On Laba day, Xingcheng in the South ushered in a rare heavy snow.

"Laba, Laba, freeze your chin," a folksong heralds the arrival of Laba day in Xingcheng, southern China, where a rare heavy snowfall greets the occasion.

【8】The next day, just before dawn, I got out of bed. Before I could stretch, curiosity pushed me to the window. I gently opened the window and yawned out of the window. A cold wind sucked in. I coughed and didn't see the scene outside the window. I raised my head and widened my sleepless hazy eyes. "My God, it's snowing!"

Early morning, just as dawn was breaking, I rose from my slumber. Before I had a chance to stretch, my curiosity propelled me towards the window. I cautiously opened the window and a gust of cold air greeted me. Coughing, I couldn't see anything outside. Staring blankly, my sleepy eyes gradually cleared. "Oh my, it's snowing!"
