Chapter 338: Mid-Autumn Festival
It's been a jubilant lately.
This is especially true for the luminous glow, which is the National Day, the birthday of Liu Chiyan, and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, a day of lively reunion second only to the New Year.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in Nanchang is not too lively, and the festival in the urban area is not too lively, but more just a family reunion, followed by the Mid-Autumn Festival activities played by major shopping malls, adding some festive colors to this festival.
However, in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Yeguang's family has never been in Nanchang, and they went to a Yeguang that thinks that it is the most lively place in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even more festive than the New Year.
Ji'an, Jiang Province, is a very small city, the economy is not developed, there are no famous attractions, and there are not too many local specialties, but it is a very suitable city for life.
The glow-in-the-dark grandparents' house is in the city.
Although in a provincial capital, there is still a short distance between the two cities, so the night light is also rare to come to the last time, the city did not leave too many deep memories of the night light, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is to make the night light how can not be forgotten.
This is also why this Mid-Autumn Festival, Yeguang will propose to go to grandma's house with his parents to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, of course, Yeguang is also thinking, take Liu Chiyan to meet his grandparents, so long after passing the door, Yeguang has not taken Liu Chiyan to meet his relatives.
Grandma and grandfather are very kind old people, living in the countryside, I heard that Yeguang brought his daughter-in-law to see the second elder, and the second elder couldn't close his mouth happily the day before.
My grandparents didn't know Liu Chiyan, but they also liked her very much, and specially prepared a thick red envelope for Liu Chiyan, praising Liu Chiyan for being handsome and blessed by the luminous glow.
Grandma has a sentence that makes Liu Chi smoke ashamed for most of the day.
"This girl is good, she is so handsome, her fart/stock is quite round and round, she can give birth to a son!"
The patriarchal concept of grandparents' generation is very profound, and it is almost impossible to change.
The dinner is very rich, grandparents have made a table of good dishes, all of which are home-cooked, but the better is that the ingredients are good, the vegetables are grown from the garden, the chickens and ducks are freshly killed, and they are very delicious.
After dinner, night fell.
Father and mother, as well as Luminous and Liu Chiyan, went to the village ancestral hall together.
Along the way, Liu Chiyan kept looking and shouting, "It's so beautiful!"
There is a custom in many places in the city of Ji'an, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon cakes, grapefruits, and other food will be taken on a small table, two candles will be lit, three incense sticks will be inserted, and moved outside the house, and around the house, the whole house will be surrounded by small candles one by one, one by one, and suddenly the candlelight will be connected into a piece, and the countryside is not as bright as the city at night, and the color of the candle flame is more prominent, it is very good-looking.
The village ancestral hall also has a more important program, the fire tower.
Many people have not even heard of this term, the Mid-Autumn Festival fire tower is a very distinctive and long-standing custom in Ji'an, and it also radiates to some surrounding cities, but the source is here.
As soon as Liu Chiyan came to the village ancestral hall, he couldn't move.
In front of me, there are crowds of people, and there are people around at a glance, and in the middle is a fire tower three or four meters high with red bricks and green tiles.
A few sturdy young men in the village were holding long burning sticks, constantly adding straw, pine needles and other flammable firewood to the fire tower, and stirring it twice from time to time, and suddenly the flames erupted, and the sparks were everywhere, and if some alcohol was sprayed, the flames would be so hot that half of the sky could be dyed red.
Unlike bonfires, there is no singing and dancing, just a simple group of people watching the burning fire tower.
But as soon as the young man who burns the fire stirs the churning fire and makes the flames erupt, everyone will be happy.
Liu Chiyan had never seen this kind of scene, leaning on the night light to see it with relish, and even thought about adding a handful of firewood himself.
Yeguang hurriedly grabbed her, "You have it, just take a look, you can't do that job, it's very hot inside." β
I watched it for a long time.
Mom and Dad have already gone back, and most of the crowd of onlookers has dispersed, and there is no longer the crowded scene before.
Liu Chiyan really refused to leave, she had to wait until it was completely over before she would go home, and when she was tired from standing, she just found a stone pier, and she didn't feel dirty, so she sat there and watched.
The night light has nothing to do with her, she can only accompany her, she has not really felt the grand event of the Mid-Autumn Festival fire tower in Ji'an, it is difficult to experience the kind of noisy but warm liveliness, Liu Chiyan saw it for the first time, and it was not surprising that he fell into it immediately.
It wasn't until the green tiles on the upper half of the fire tower were burned red and the crowd almost dispersed that the event ended silently.
When Liu Chiyan went back, he was still a little excited, and said, "Luminous, will you bring me here next year?"
Nightglow smiled and rubbed his hair, "Okay, I'll bring you if you want to." β
Go home.
The night light and willow pond smoke watched the moon on the roof for a while, and the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival was indeed beautiful.
Liu Chiyan kept eating a kind of moon cake of local specialties on the side, called thin shortbread, a very delicious kind of food, how to say the taste, sweet and salty, and the status in the local area is very high, here, the Mid-Autumn Festival can not have authentic moon cakes, but there will never be less of this kind of thin shortbread.
Liu Chiyan was already eating the eighth, and Yeguang quipped, "If you still eat it, you're not afraid of being fat?"
Liu Chiyan, "Don't be afraid, I'm already married anyway." β
Well, there's nothing wrong with that answer.
Talking and laughing, the glow-in-the-dark phone came to mind, no need to guess, it must be wishing her a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was Xu Chen's phone.
"Little night, happy Mid-Autumn Festival. β
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. β
"Where are the waves? With such a big scene on Weibo tonight, I didn't see you bubbling. β
Yeguang smiled, "What about the festival in the countryside, now I'm looking at the moon, what's wrong with Weibo?"
Xu Chen: "Don't you know? Weibo launched a national poetry activity for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and the first million prize money, aren't you a poet, go show your hand." β
Luminous smiled, "Don't be, I'm still not mixed up." β
Xu Chen was busy, "Don't, I called to let you come, there is a guy who stepped on you on Weibo." β
Luminous was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the situation?"
Xu Chen explained, "Writing poetry, this guy is also a poet like you, he wrote a poem tonight, and specially @ you, let you come to Bibi, what is the new generation of poets to learn and exchange together." The big guys have been waiting for you for a day, and I haven't seen you show up, many people say that you are cowardly, I can't see it, I called you. β
After chatting with Xu Chen for a few more words, the night light understood.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, many business malls, as well as websites have some activities, Weibo is also an activity, Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, this is an activity for the whole people to open the house, everyone can participate, start at eight o'clock in the evening, end at twelve o'clock in the evening, during which the most voted poem won the first prize, you can get a bonus of one million, and other rankings also have some rewards, but it is far from the first place, the second place activity bonus is 50,000, the third place or the bonus is 30,000, the fourth and fifth prizes are 10,000, starting from the fifth place, each of the lower two places to get the bonus is reduced by 1,000, that is, the sixth and seventh place is 9,000, the seventh and eighth place is 8,000, and so onγ
Yeguang looked at the time, it was already ten forty, and he hurriedly logged in to Weibo with his mobile phone, and as soon as he entered, he saw the national poetry activity at the top.
Yeguang is not very interested in this activity, not a million or anything, in fact, he doesn't know at all today, but when he heard Xu Chen say that someone specifically stepped on him, Yeguang was not happy.
You write your poems, and we don't hinder you from doing anything, why are you stepping on us?
Yeguang flipped through Weibo for a while.
found that there are really a lot of people who participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, but most of the netizens participate with a playful mentality and make some poems that make people laugh.
For example, this one: The bird without power flies away, and the person without money disappears. Taste the cake and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone.
There is also this one: bright moonlight in front of the bed, there is cake but not packaging. Raise your head to look at the bright moon, look down and smell the fragrance of cakes.
I have to say that the waves of netizens are up, and there is really nothing to do with the sea.
Of course, there are also some good works among them, and I saw some very good poems written by netizens in the nightlight.
When the moon is starry, the emotions are numerous.
Lack of money is a common thing, so why bother to meet each other?
This poem is written by a netizen, a very good poem.
There is a voting list for this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, and I also went to see it at the night light, and the level of the poems on the list is much higher, and there are no spoofed verses from netizens, most of them are very good.
The jade rabbit flies into the cold sky, and the moon wheel volleys into the mortal world.
The Mid-Autumn Moon is clear in the sky, and the sleeves of Chang'e are dancing.
This poem is one of the poems on the list, and Yeguang thinks it is very good, and it is currently ranked fifteenth on the list in the Weibo Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Event.
The list shows the 50 poems with the most votes, but only 15 poems are displayed on the first page, so strictly speaking, only the first page is considered to be on the list.
Looking up, every poem on the list is very level, and Yeguang also saw several familiar names from the poets' signatures of these poems, all of whom are well-known scholars or poets.
At the top of the list is a man named Wencai.
This person Yeguang didn't know him originally, but he knew that this person was still what Xu Chen said on the phone and Yeguang before, it was this person who @ Yeguang on Weibo, and asked him to come and learn from each other.
rejected what Xu Chen said, Wencai's original name was Wencai, and he was a treasure, but perhaps because he felt that the word wealth was cheesy, he changed it to Cai.
This person is indeed very powerful, he has not been ashamed of his name, he is not very old, just twenty-eight years old, he is already a writer who has published several best-selling books, and he is also a poet, before the night light appeared, among the new generation of poets, he was the most popular, and at the same time, he was also the youngest member of the Provincial Writers Association.
Why is it an ex, I don't need to say more.
When he learned this information, Yeguang understood a little, and it was no wonder that he would step on it after writing a poem @ Yeguang.
The luminous stole his limelight, jealousy separated him, and if he had the chance, of course he wanted to steal the limelight back.
