Chapter 392
"I'm just saying, not only the fourth family should remember, but all of you should remember that rumors are the most hurtful. If you don't know the truth and spread it with others, what will happen if it is spread later? You can't
It's under control. If something happens when the time comes, even if there is no retribution for you, it may be retribution for your children. If you have nothing to do, try to accumulate more blessings for your children, do more good deeds, and do less such evil things.
matter."
Liu, Liu, Li, Lin and others quickly agreed one by one.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival and the Lantern Festival, is the first important festival after the Spring Festival.
Generally speaking, the most lively part of the Lantern Festival is the "lantern display", but due to the backward economic conditions of Anjiu Town, the night scene of paper lanterns hanging all over the streets is naturally impossible.
However, they also have their own way of celebrating festivals. For example, there is a temple fair during the day and a dragon dance team at night.
At the foot of Mount Taidang, the villages headed by Zhu, Li, and Liu would make their own villages every year, and select young people from the villages at the foot of Mount Taidang. The old masters would lead new apprentices to form a dragon dance team.
This year, Lijiacun is the banker, and Zhujiacun has selected five young people. Basically, they are all younger generation nephews who have some relationship with the patriarch, Li Zheng.
Even if they have the same surname and clan, there is still distance between them.
Zhu Da was a little disappointed because he was selected last year, but this year another boy who was not as good at dancing was selected, but he was not on the list.
"What's wrong, brother, are you in a bad mood?"
After lunch, Zhu Er saw his eldest brother squatting under the wall in a daze, and he guessed something.
He also sat next to him and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. If you can't choose this year, there will be next year."
"That guy Zhu Chengsi has been chosen."
The Zhu Chengsi Zhu Da mentioned was actually the son of the patriarch's brother. He was about the same age as Zhu Wu. This was his first time participating in the dragon dance team this year.
Zhu Er said: "That's the clan leader's nephew. Isn't it normal?"
"That kid didn't participate last year and can't do anything." Zhu Da said in a dull voice, "And I asked Dahu and the others. Zhu Chengsi is weak and can't dance at all. He has been playing around in troubled waters (that is, fishing in troubled waters).
meaning).”
"What's that? I started training before the Chinese New Year, and the dragon dance will be held tomorrow. It's not your turn no matter what." Zhu Er said softly, "Don't think about it, brother, stop for a year and dance again next year."
It’s the same thing.”
In the yard, the women of the Zhu family are busy. They are going to the temple fair tomorrow. In addition to buying things, they also want to sell some of the "inventory" in their hands.
The temple fair not only sells some new gadgets, but also prepares daily necessities. After all, due to the Chinese New Year, the monthly market is also closed, so at this time, you can add some things to your home.
Liu, Liu, Li, and Lin are all very experienced. They have discussed and decided on the things they will purchase tomorrow.
Ye Yuran came out and saw whether Zhu Si and Zhu Wu who had gone to Anjiu Town to deliver rouge had come back. Then they saw Zhu Da and Zhu Er squatting under the wall, not knowing what they were doing.
After pricking up her ears, she heard something about "dragon dance team", and then she found Zhu Da's dragon dance last year in the memory of the original owner, and realized that - well, she seemed to have forgotten this matter.
"What are you doing squatting here?"
When Zhu Da and Zhu Er saw that it was their mother, they quickly said it was nothing and went out to bask in the sun.
Regarding the two people's unwillingness to tell the truth to her, Ye Yuran was a little helpless: "The clan leader mentioned the dragon dance to me, but I forgot to tell you. The clan wants to raise a few new people as backup. Boss, you are a veteran.
, you are very experienced, so I didn’t choose you this year.”
Zhu Da was stunned for a moment, then raised his head: "Ah, did the patriarch really say that?"
"As I said, I went to pick mint leaves that time and met the patriarch's wife on the way. She told me personally. Not only did you not go this year, but also several other veterans who have danced several times also did not go." Ye Yuran
He said, "Next year it will be our Zhujia Village's turn to be a villager. If you don't train a few more quickly, who will help you then?"
Of course, it is not ruled out that the clan leader wants to support a few more of his nephews.
Normally, there might not be even a single explanation. But it was different last year. In the second half of last year, the Zhu family had some momentum to make a fortune. In addition, Ye Yuran also helped Li Zheng and the clan leader a lot. They were also afraid that "
"Offending" Ye Yuran, he was afraid that she would make trouble in the past, so he asked the patriarch's wife to "explain".
Ye Yuran didn't care much about the dragon dance team. He didn't take it to heart at all and turned around and forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, things that she didn't care about seemed to be a "big deal" for her son.
"Can I really attend next year?" Zhu Da asked.
"Yes." Ye Yuran thought, even if the clan leader repented, she would bring more things to "sponsor", wouldn't she be able to grab a position for Zhu Da?
Zhu Da, who was originally depressed, suddenly became happy again when he heard the news.
But his mouth was not as sweet as Zhu Si's or Zhu Wu's. He didn't know what to say when something like this happened. He just stood up and smiled at Ye Yuran, looking so happy that he almost danced.
Zhu Er was also happy for his eldest brother and laughed silly.
Ye Yuran looked at them and thought to herself: If she didn't have the memory of the original owner, she was sure that these sons were all Old Man Zhu's. Otherwise, seeing the two children born in front of them were completely different from those born in the back, it would still be wrong.
I thought they were not the same father.
Thinking of their father, Ye Yuran reacted: "Where is your father? Why didn't I see him when we came together this morning? He wouldn't be serving vegetables so early in the morning, right?"
"Dad checked on the third uncle, and the fourth uncle's house went to check on the compost pit," Zhu Da said.
Ye Yuran: "Why didn't I take you with me?"
Zhu Er said in a sullen voice: "Dad didn't let me follow."
Dad usually takes them with him whenever he does anything, but he didn't take them with him this time. In fact, he himself was surprised.
As they were talking, they saw a bullock cart driving towards their home.
They turned around and found that the people sitting in the car were none other than Zhu San, Zhu Si, and Zhu Wu.
Zhu Da and Zhu Er looked at their new clothes and the pile of things they brought back, feeling somewhat envious: Mother is so partial, such good things never happen to them.
"We're back. Did you have a smooth journey?" Ye Yuran didn't think much about it. She mainly thought that Zhu San would go to town after the spring break, so she asked him to take the two little ones for a few more trips.
You can also practice your courage and broaden your horizons.
By then Zhu San will be living in the town, and if anything happens at home, several other people will have to step in.
Zhu Da and Zhu Er's temperaments are not suitable for dealing with people, so we can only start with Zhu Si and Zhu Wu.
"By the way, mother, shopkeepers Yu and Li also asked me to say hello to you and dad for them." Zhu San jumped down from the bullock cart, "This is a new year's gift prepared by Aunt Yu and Aunt Li. Let me give it to you."
Brought it back."
"Which ones?" Ye Yuran said, "We are here to deliver Rouge. We don't accept anything. Others think we are greedy for money and take advantage of everything."
"No, mother, just some snacks, and some children's clothes, socks and the like." Zhu San picked out the things. There was a big bag for the whole family, "Didn't Sambo and Sibao give birth last year? They
