In the north, there is the custom of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and in the south, various places also have their own customs and activities on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

I don't know if it is the influence of global warming, in recent years, every New Year, there is basically no chill around Duge Township, the weather is no different from spring, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is cloudless and the sun is shining.

From eight or nine o'clock in the morning, on the beach of the Panlong River and on the slopes of the tributary Qingshui River, there are a lot of mountain song lovers gathered one after another, that is, many children who can't understand Brother Shan also put on new clothes under the leadership of adults, although they don't necessarily like mountain songs, but there are a lot of snacks to buy on the ground, and they can also play and run around. It feels like this day is like a kind of collective outing of the locals to welcome spring.

Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianqiang are a generation of their age, that is the group that likes mountain songs the most, when they were young, there was no electricity in the local area, so it is not like those people outside who can be exposed to many entertainment activities, listening to mountain songs is the entertainment they have the most contact with. In Hu Mingchen's impression, every time there is such an activity similar to the mountain song conference in the township, they have to join in the fun no matter what.

Hu Mingchen doesn't like or dislike singing mountain songs, but his sister Hu Yujiao is at their age, so he is not interested at all.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Yucai got up early in the morning and wrapped half a pot of sesame rice balls, and even Hu Jianjun was pulled by her.

Even on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Hu Mingchen did not give up fitness, he first ran more than ten kilometers on the way out, and when he got home, he sweated a lot on various equipment in the gym, and when he took a shower, Hu Yujiao got up.

"Brother, are you going to the river to play today? Are you going to listen to mountain songs too?" Seeing that Hu Mingchen had already changed his clothes, Hu Yujiao rubbed her eyes and asked.

"I shouldn't go, even if I go, it won't be in the morning, I have something to deal with, it looks like you're going out to play, so why don't you go and brush your teeth, wash your face and change your clothes." Hu Mingchen kindly rubbed Hu Yujiao's little brain.

"I'm going, I made an appointment with my elementary school classmates to play on the street, and Hu Xiaohua went with me. Don't rub my head, I'm not a kid anymore. As she spoke, Hu Yujiao raised her hand to block Hu Mingchen and protested against him rubbing his head.

"Yo, you're not a child anymore, hehe, little sister, remember, you'll always be a little girl with me. Hu Yujiao's protest did not play its due role here in Hu Mingchen.

"What are you two doing, why don't you hurry downstairs to eat, we have breakfast, we're going out. Hearing the sound of Hu Mingchen and Hu Yujiao talking, Jiang Yucai shouted loudly at the top of the stairs.

"Mom, here we are. Hu Mingchen responded, and then smiled at Hu Yujiao, "Don't hurry up, it's time for breakfast." ”

Hu Yujiao pouted: "I can eat it or not, anyway, there is something to eat on the street." ”

Hu Mingchen walked downstairs and entered the dining room, Jiang Yucai had already cooked half a pot of rice balls and served four bowls.

"Mom, Dad, you're going to listen to the song today, I see you hurry up and eat it, Xiaojiao probably won't eat, he asked his classmates to go to the street." Hu Mingchen picked up a bowl and tasted it.

"This girl is getting more and more unpleasant now. Hearing that Hu Yujiao, who had worked so hard to wrap the dumplings, didn't plan to eat them, Jiang Yucai was a little dissatisfied.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if she eats it or not, anyway, there are on the street, she will buy whatever she likes, and you're afraid that she won't be hungry. Hu Jianjun sat next to Hu Mingchen and picked up chopsticks and said.

That is, now Hu Jianjun has the confidence to say this, this year's Chinese New Year, Hu Yujiao received tens of thousands of New Year's money, and the money will not be handed over as before, she keeps it for herself. Since she has money on her, she naturally won't go hungry.

"Mom and Dad, you eat quickly and leave, she can eat on the street, she can eat at home, and there are other things in the refrigerator if you don't eat rice balls, by the way, where are you going today?" Hu Mingchen asked with interest.

"Go to the Qingshui River, today I heard that there are several mountain song masters in the racecourse, and the people on the Pingshan side are basically coming to the Qingshui River, and today is absolutely lively. Hu Jianjun had long heard the news that he was interested in.

"This year, the Qingshui River is probably not as lively as the dam of the Panlong River, you don't know, there is a doll on the dumb side, twelve years old, the mountain sings quite well, there is a family of four in the town of Fanger, each voice is loud and crisp, especially the drag, Banzha very, this family will go to the river dam this year to sing, so I want to go to the river dam. Jiang Yucai also inquired about this year's mountain songs from others.

Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai like different styles of mountain songs, which leads to their biased choices.

"If you go to the Panlong River dam, then you will be on the way with me, what's the matter, I'll drive you first?"

"Forget it, you go to your own place, I and the Xu family behind me all the way, and the flowers you want to send only need to send them to Sanjiazhai. Jiang Yucai waved his hand indifferently.

"Mom, then you can ask the third uncle to drive you there. Hu Mingchen proposed.

"Forget it, your third uncle is going to Hu Minggang's grandmother's house with your third aunt today, don't call him, it's not that far, your father sent us to Sanjiazhai, there are more people going to play there, everyone walks and talks, it won't take long." Jiang Yucai said.

Hu Jianqiang wants to go back to his father-in-law's house with Jiang Yucai, Hu Mingchen heard about it yesterday, and now after his mother said this, Hu Mingchen has nothing to talk about, anyway, there are many people on the road today.

Because they had to hurry up to listen to people singing mountain songs, before Hu Yujiao went downstairs, Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun hurriedly ate a bowl of rice balls and went out together. Hu Mingchen went upstairs to go back to the study to deal with some documents uploaded from the Internet.

Hu Mingchen had just reviewed two emails when he heard the sound of a car horn outside his window.

Hu Mingchen walked to the balcony outside to see that his cousin Hu Mingyong was standing on the side of the road, and behind him was listening to a Mazda sedan.

"Xiao Chen, let's go, let's play. Seeing Hu Mingchen coming out, Hu Mingyong shouted loudly.

After Hu Mingchen's investment, Hu Mingchen got this second-hand Mazda before the Chinese New Year, and I heard that it cost 20,000 yuan.

He didn't have the money to buy a car before, and he couldn't get a driver's license, but when he had the money, he didn't know if he worked hard or relied on other methods, so he really got a driver's license. In order to sass, of course, in order to show off in front of his girlfriend, he got this car a few years ago. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I also bought some gifts and drove to my girlfriend's house to pay New Year's greetings, which was very leaky.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone went out to play, and Hu Mingyong would not let go of this opportunity to show off, and he must have driven the car out for a walk.

"Brother, I'm not going, you can go. ”

As soon as Hu Mingchen finished speaking, the father Hu Jianye and the aunt Liu Chunhua in the back seat rolled down the window and poked their heads out.

"Xiao Chen, is your mother gone, no nonsense asked her to come with us. Liu Chunhua said loudly.

"Auntie, my mom has already gone out with my dad. ”

"Then are they going to the Qingshui River? I'm afraid the Qingshui River today is not as lively as the dam. Hu Jianye asked.

"It seems that my dad is going to the Qingshui River, but my mom is going to the dam, aunt daddy, if you want to play, go quickly." Hu Mingchen replied.

"Xiao Chen, let's go, what are you doing at home, go, take my car to play, it's very hot by the river today." Hu Mingyong lit a cigarette and shouted Hu Mingchen again.

"Brother, I still have something to deal with, go ahead, you just got your driver's license, and the driving time is not long, you must slow down and pay more attention." Thinking that Hu Mingyong was still a novice, Hu Mingchen had to admonish him twice.

"Hehe, I believe in my brother's skills, I even drove to the racecourse, and there was no problem. Hu Mingyong said disapprerovitically, "Since you don't go, then we'll go." ”

Although Hu Mingyong is a novice, he seems to be quite confident in his skills, and Hu Mingchen's advice is not taken seriously at all.

Hu Mingchen just reminded him casually, whether he listened to him or not, not to mention that people are going out now, and it is unlucky to say too much.

After Hu Mingyong and the others drove away, Hu Mingchen continued to return to the computer and sat down to read the information.

Now only Hu Mingchen is at home in the whole family, after Hu Yujiao washed up, he left home to play with a small bag on his back.

Hu Mingchen had just processed a few documents when he received a call from Hu Jianqiang.

"Xiao Chen, are you at home, let me tell you, your mother had a car accident, which is quite serious. ”

"What? My mother was in a car accident? What's going on?" As soon as he heard this, Hu Mingchen suddenly bounced up from his chair.

"I don't know the specifics, it was someone from the township who called me, saying that Hu Mingyong was driving and collided with another farm vehicle, and your mother was sitting in Hu Mingyong's car, and your father and aunt were also there, and the car overturned into a ditch, which was very serious, and I am already on the way back now." ”

This news shocked Hu Mingchen, hung up the phone and immediately ran out, he called his father Hu Jianjun while running, but no one answered the two.

Now that my father is not at home, and my third uncle is not at home, if Hu Mingchen wants to go to the street, he will rely on his two legs.

Fortunately, Hu Mingchen ran very well, spread his way and ran away, and it didn't take long to run to the place where the accident occurred. Seeing the tragic situation at the scene, Hu Mingchen's heart plummeted.
