In today's Luochuan, the square dance of the aunts is in full swing. And with the increasing health awareness of people day by day, it is not only the aunt who jumps, but almost all men, women and children go into battle. Li Huatong once paid close attention to the entertainment activity of square dance, and found that there were world records broken because of square dance, for example, "Jingzhou Moves" is a popular square dance in Jingzhou, named by Mayor Li Jianming himself, composed by Professor Dong Yan, vice chairman of Hubei Musicians Association, chairman of Jingzhou Musicians Association, and dean of the School of Arts of Yangtze University. Lin Fuyuan, an advisor to the Jingzhou Musicians Association, wrote the lyrics and broke the Guinness Book of Records for the largest group fitness dance in history on October 8, 2014. In November 2015, 245 people from Horsham, Victoria, Australia, broke a Guinness World Record by dancing a group square dance, and their 5 minutes and 15 seconds performance became the world's most people's collective interpretation of the American singer Ti

A new record for the song "Nutbush City Limits". It is reported that the oldest of these dancers is 90 years old and the youngest is 6 years old.

However, if you travel back in time to the mid-90s of the 20th century, it was ballroom dancing that was popular in Rakukawa at that time. Li Huatong has been thinking about the question, why did people like ballroom dancing in the 90s? But now they prefer square dancing, and ballroom dancing is almost extinct.

Ballroom dancing has a long history. Ballroom dancing is an international social dance that originated in the West, also known as ballroom dance, ball dance, social dance, and ballroom dance. Originating in Europe, ballroom dancing has become a common social activity in European countries since the 16th and 17th centuries, so it is known as the "language of the world". After the 20s of the 20th century, ballroom dancing became popular all over the world, so it is also called "international dance". As early as 1924, ballroom dancing was introduced to several large cities and treaty ports in China at that time, and in the early days of liberation, in the fifties and sixties, ballroom dancing was still very popular in China. After the end, in the eighties, ballroom dancing was once again accepted by the broad masses of the people. Ballroom dance, due to the influence of court dance, its dance posture is solemn and elegant, the dance steps are strict and standardized, and it has a gentlemanly demeanor, so it is called the social dance of the European school. The nineties were the heyday of ballroom dancing, and there was a tendency to cook oil with fire. If someone can't jump, it's seen as not keeping up with fashion trends. Therefore, people in that era regarded ballroom dancing as the most common form of entertainment.

Because people like it, it is popular, and because it is popular, dance halls abound, and there are even a lot of open-air dance halls. Especially in the early summer evenings, when people need to eat after dinner, there is no better place to go than an open-air dance hall.

The early summer in Rakukawa is undoubtedly the most beautiful. All the trees have changed from the gloom of winter, and they are all verdant and full of blooming moon flowers. The Qinghe River has just been governed, and it looks like a group of green waters and green mountains. At dusk, when night falls, the lights are on, the neon lights of the dance hall are lit up early, up and down, left and right, constantly rotating, red, green, yellow, and purple light are reflected, dazzling, coupled with the rhythmic and beautiful music, it is estimated that some people have no heart to eat dinner, and are in a hurry to come here.

Although Xu Ruobin is shy, he likes to dance. As long as there is nothing to do, he coaxes Li Huatong to the dance hall. In the dance field, as long as the music sounds, I can't wait to pull Li Huatong off the stage. The summer breeze is blowing, the neon lights are dotted, the two of you advance and I retreat, around the audience, all kinds of tricks are played, and there are no gaps in the cooperation, which is very tacit

Dancing is one of the most enjoyable forms of entertainment, dancing lightly to the beat of the music, leaving all your worries behind. With the beautiful dance music, holding the beloved and dancing, I feel that I have become a spring willow, soft and elegant, and it seems to have become a beautiful butterfly, flying freely among the flowers, very arbitrary, very enjoyable. Li Huatong felt unprecedented happiness. That summer, the two of them don't know how many good nights they dedicated to ballroom dancing.

Xu Ruobin is a person who loves to make friends, but the people who come and go more on weekdays are still classmates in high school. Since he moved, his cottage has been much more lively than the dormitory. If you can make a table, everyone will put away the desk, borrow a few chairs from the landlord, and play mahjong in a circle. Of course, playing mahjong must be won or lost, otherwise it will be boring. So, a friend brought counterfeit banknotes from the bank to practice, and played with real money. Playing and playing, it was late at night. Fortunately, Li Huatong is still rational and calm, and advises everyone to come back to play another day after they disperse, so as not to miss the next day's work.

There are also times when there are more people who can't play mahjong, and the landlord's granddaughter can't be too noisy when she writes her homework, so everyone goes out to press the road collectively with great interest. A group of five or six people walked on the empty street, looking at the stars in the sky, talking about interesting things that had happened around them recently. When you are tired of walking, you can find a random section of steps and sit down. Everyone is a young person who has just been working for a long time, and they all left their hometown to come to Luochuan, so they have many similar feelings. One of them, Li Yunfei, has been sighing, why has he been coming to Luochuan for so long, but he always feels that he is still a passerby, and he does not have the feeling of being a host? Everyone was quiet, and no one answered his question.

Perhaps because of Li Yunfei's "passerby theory", Li Huatong looked at the city in front of him, and a sense of strangeness arose. Indeed, I have been here for a long time, I have been to and from work every day, I have been to many places, I have walked many streets, but I never thought that I would live here for the rest of my life. Although it was the age when she was worried about it, maybe it was just a contrived tsundere at that age, but Li Huatong's heart was full of gratitude. Because she now has Xu Ruobin by her side, the two of them can rely on each other. Otherwise, what should she do?

Li Yunfei, who lamented that he was a passerby, did not settle in Luochuan in the end. A few years later, he left Rakukawa for the south. I heard that I later married a wife and had children in Shenzhen, and my life was quite nourishing.

Young people who are not bound by marriage naturally want to live freely and freely. The favorite thing for these people who like to play together is to cook and eat together, especially hot pot.

Xu Ruobin's classmate Gu Haoyu has just been assigned a two-bedroom apartment to him, about 60 square meters. Although it is a little old, it is a bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen and everything, and it is very functional. Everyone was so envious that they wanted to celebrate his housewarming. As soon as he moved in, he invited everyone to eat hot pot.

Call before getting off work to make an appointment with a time and place, and several people roughly do a division of labor. After work, Xu Ruobin rode Li Huatong to the vegetable market.
