Chapter 160 Happy Holidays
After training, I had breakfast.
There were no programs during the day during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Gaojiacun. The villagers just put down what they were doing and visited each other, played chess, cards, mahjong and so on. Luo Hui took his mother, Gao Qianqian, Niuniu, Xiaoheixiao.
Bai Zuo accompanied me and took a good look at the lakes and mountains in the village, as well as the golden terraces... In the afternoon, Gaozong and I went to the town to buy moon biscuits, fruits and other items at reduced prices.
The day passed quietly in the thick fragrance of osmanthus. In the evening, the village became noisy. Every household began to move tables and chairs and gathered in the large open space opposite Gaozong's house...
Luo Hui didn't move tables and chairs from the top of the mountain. An Eight Immortals table can seat eight people. A set brought from Gao Ge's house is enough for them.
In the open space opposite Gaozong's house, there is a tall firewood pile stacked in the center. There are many dry firewood placed beside the firewood pile. Around these firewood piles, sixty or seventy tables are arranged in a ring. There are
Two or even three or four tables were put together. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it was so lively.
The table of Gao Zong's family was put together with that of Gao Ge's family. A total of five families including Gao Zong, Gao Ge, Gao Shou, Luo Hui and Lao Yu were seated.
The fat old man looked around at the sixty or seventy tables in the open space and sighed with emotion, "Every Mid-Autumn Festival, there are so many tables. And besides the old man, there are children, women, and almost no young adults. In fact, there are almost no tables.
The population of our Gaojia Village is enough to set up more than a hundred tables."
It's sad to sing loudly.
Luo Hui smiled calmly and said, "Haha, I guess it won't be until the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year after next at most. Now this situation will be completely changed."
Gaozong shook his head and said, "This situation must be completely changed. Unless one situation occurs. That is, our Gaojia Village has development prospects and a way to make money. In this way, the young and middle-aged people in the village will not go out to work to earn money."
, will stay in the village. But where is this prospect and future?"
Luo Hui patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Zong, the city of Rome was not built in a day. Step by step, everything will develop in a good direction... You have to know. In the past, the surname of Longtan Town was Liao.
Now his surname is Liu. Can that person named Liao be the same as our dear, lovely and respectable Secretary Liu?"
When Gaozong heard what Luo Hui said, he immediately felt confident, "Yes, that guy named Liao is just a bastard. How can he compare with Secretary Liu? I believe that under the leadership of Secretary Liu, our Gaojia Village will definitely have a bright future."
It will be brilliant...not to mention Xiaohui, you are here to take charge!"
At this point, Emperor Gaozong became so excited that he stood up. He cleared his throat and began to deliver a speech, "Fellow fellow countrymen..."
The fat old man's speech followed the same old routine. It was just a cliché. But at the end, he borrowed Luo Hui's words just now, said some exciting words, and gave the villagers a big, fragrant cake.
His words were like a huge stone thrown into the long-dead hearts of the villagers, creating waves and igniting the villagers' instinct to pursue a better life. This made the open space already lively.
The atmosphere reaches a small climax.
After the speech, amidst the warm applause and cheers of the villagers, Gaozong took the torch that Gao Ge had prepared beside him, walked to the center of the field with high spirits, and lit the pile of firewood piled high.
The pile of firewood was drenched with kerosene. As soon as the torch touched it, the flames quickly burst into flames with a chirping sound. The firewood burned with a crackling sound, and the raging flames dyed half of the sky red, even covering up the sky.
Lived by the light of the moonlight.
The bonfire burned bigger and bigger. The elderly and children stood up, walked from their seats to the fire, held hands, and danced happily around the bonfire. Suddenly the atmosphere on the venue reached a climax.
Another**.
Luo Hui watched with interest, and smiled at Gao Ge, who had not yet gone to dance, and said, "Old man Gao, why do I feel like I'm in a minority group? Or a primitive tribe in Africa?"
Gao Ge rolled his eyes at him and said, "Lighting bonfires and doing bonfire dances is not their patent. You know, this tradition in our village has been around since I was born. I don't know how many years it has been passed down... and
Many villages in Longtan Town have this tradition."
Luo Hui said with interest, "Then if you light this bonfire and dance this bonfire dance in our Gaojia Village, does it mean to pray for blessings?"
He sang, "Of course I'm praying for blessings. I hope my life can be as prosperous as this burning fire. And then just for the sake of an atmosphere, I did this, these moon cakes and glutinous rice cakes, this
If you drink wine, it will be even more exciting if you drink it this month."
"..."
"Brother Xiaohui, let's dance together too."
Gao Xiaolin said to Luo Hui, but his parents had already jumped down, and Gao Ge and his wife Liu Guihua, Gaozong and his mother-in-law Li Xiulian had also jumped up early.
"I can't dance this, you go ahead and dance." Luo Hui shook his head and looked at the middle of the field. Everyone was already holding hands and surrounding several circles.
The campfire dance performed by the villagers is much simpler than that of the primitive tribes in the movie. It is not much different from the dance performed by the ethnic minorities on TV. The crowd circles around the fire while kicking their feet left and right. Don't
That being said, it is quite rhythmic and the movements are relatively neat.
Niu Niu scratched her small nose and said, "Uncle Xiaohui, you are so stupid. You can't even dance such a simple dance. Come on, dance with me and I will teach you."
"Okay, let's go dance together." Being despised by the little girl, Luo Hui stood up helplessly and held Niu Niu's little hand.
Gao Xiaolin was about to grab Luo Hui's other hand, but Niu Niu slapped the back of his hand without any politeness, "Uncle Xiaolin, step aside, this hand belongs to Aunt Xiaoqian."
Gao Xiaolin retracted his hand knowingly and said cheerfully, "Sister, come here, come here." After saying that, he dragged the fish balls and ran to the middle of the field.
Gao Qianqian's face turned red with embarrassment, how dare she reach out to hold Luo Hui's hand.
Niu Niu couldn't help but grabbed her hand and placed it on Luo Hui's big hand. She winked at Luo Hui slyly and said, "Uncle Xiaohui, let my aunt teach you how to dance. She dances very well."
Come on...Grandma, let’s jump first.” Niu Niu held Yu Fangyi’s hand.
This elf and ghostly little girl made Yu Fangyi so happy. With her here, there was no need to worry about the matter between her son and Xiaoqian. So he happily danced with the little girl.
Luo Hui glared at the little girl and gently squeezed Gao Qianqian's hand.
Although Xiao Nizi's hands have been working for many years, they are still soft and as warm as gelatin, and they feel very good.
Luo Hui couldn't help but rub the back of her hand gently, which made Gao Qianqian's heart feel strongly stimulated. She was pounding like crazy and wanted to pull her hand back, but his big hand was so strong, so gentle, so
Warmth, so much security, how could you give it up?
Gao Qianqian lowered her head, looking at the toes of her shoes, looking very shy. In her mind, she recalled the scenes of her acquaintance with Luo Hui, the moonlight talk in front of the bamboo house that night, and the time he stood up in the food court.
Go out and beat up those gangsters... Gao Qianqian's heart felt as sweet as sugar and honey.
"Xiaoqian, let's dance, you teach me." Luo Hui shook her hand a little harder and said softly.
"Yeah." Gao Qianqian nodded slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's. Suddenly she raised her head suddenly, looked at Luo Hui with a firm gaze, and at the same time held Luo Hui's hand tightly, as if she had done something great.
decision.
Luo Hui was stunned for a moment and then understood something.
"..."
While the villagers were doing the bonfire dance together, fried glutinous rice cakes, moon cakes, peanuts and melon seeds, drinks, beer, shochu and other items were baked and served to each table.
After dancing for half an hour, the villagers returned to the table one after another.
The adults were chatting and eating slowly. But the naughty children were not so polite. They had glutinous rice cakes in their left hand and mooncakes in their right hands, one bite from the left and one bite from the right, and then another sip of drinks. It was like a competition to see how well they ate.
Cheerful.
After a few glutinous rice cakes, a few months of cakes and a few drinks, the naughty children were full and began to run between the tables, chasing and playing noisily...
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Gaojia Village, the program is just a bonfire dance. The food is also very simple, and can even be said to be cheap. But this harmonious atmosphere cannot be described well with words. In short, it is unparalleled.
Eating, drinking, nibbling, chatting, and toasting lively, the night gradually deepened.
Suddenly there was a sound of car motors from the entrance of the village, and then there was a strong beam of car lights, but a car drove into the village under the cover of night. The villagers all looked at the car, on this Mid-Autumn Festival night
, who will come to the village, or someone driving a car?
Luo Hui and Yu Fangyi looked at each other, could it be Lao Luo here?
The mother and son guessed wrong, it was not Lao Luo who came.
The car stopped directly on the tractor path next to the open space. The door opened and a fat and muscular guy and a girl got out. But it was Secretary Liu who came with Liu Ruyun.
The arrival of Secretary Liu of the town committee surprised the villagers and made them very happy.
Although Gaojiacun, under the leadership of the village chief, Mr. Gaozong, first beat up a group of people headed by Secretary Liao, and then, through Luo Hui's plan, severely punished a group of people represented by Secretary Liu. But the Secretary
After all, he is the boss of a town, right? And people
Secretary Liu did not go to other villages on this Mid-Autumn Festival night, but came to Gaojia Village. This is the glory of Gaojia Village. In the future, he can go to other villages to use his capital. I am so envious, Liu
The secretary is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with us!
