Pick wild vegetables and wrap spring rolls. , go to the beach, look at the rising tide

The first time I came to the southern countryside, my sister-in-law saw everything new and felt that everything was fun.

I heard that the most interesting thing about the Sigang Spring Festival is not Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year, but the Lantern Festival, I actually called the unit to ask for leave, and continued to make up nonsense with her husband and parents, and had to wait until the Lantern Festival before leaving.

In Sigang, the Lantern Festival is indeed as grand as the New Year.

In people's minds, it is placed in the New Year's Festival, only after the fifteenth day of the first month, the new year's work and life begin, most shops close early as the Chinese New Year's Eve, and pedestrians on the street rush to their rural hometowns to once again push the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival when night falls.

Many ancient customs have mutated and died out in the long river of historical development, but Sigang and several surrounding districts and counties miraculously retain the custom of "fried hemp skewers" during the Lantern Festival.

Every night of the Lantern Festival, people will light the hemp strings in their hands similar to torches, and dance on their ridges while chanting songs passed down from generation to generation. People waved burning hemp strings, sprinkled the sound of crackling and explosion and the shouts of children in the fields, and ran tirelessly under their feet, and the red flames illuminated the uneven ridges and cheerful faces of everyone.

Bouquets of dancing elves in the fields ignite people's expectations for a good harvest.

The "fried hemp skewers" similar to religious rituals are very solemn, strict and very fun, Li Xiaolei and Li Xiaohui have never seen them, and they stand on the ridge with Han Fang and are elated.

Although the "carpenter's house" has long ceased to farm, it is still a farmer at heart.

It doesn't matter if you go back to your hometown on Chinese New Year's Eve, you must come back for the Lantern Festival. Don't "fry hemp skewers" in your own land, Lao Han will feel that this year has not passed.

The "hemp string target" was tied yesterday, and there were two in total.

With dry straw and dried reeds, a lot of straw was wrapped in the reeds, as thick as an elephant's legs, and tied it tightly with a rope twisted from the straw, so that the first section was tied. This string of targets usually has to be tied with 12 knots, because there are 12 months of the year when there is a leap month, 13 knots have to be pierced, and sometimes small firecrackers are stuffed into the target.

Mr. Han is one, and Mr. Han is one.

The daughter-in-law was watching, and Mr. Han decided that he must "blow up the spirit and blow up the momentum" tonight. Just as he was about to light the fire, Director Han's mobile phone rang.

The work is important, and the "hemp skewers" can be fried.

Mr. Han put down the unlit "hemp string target" and motioned for his son to answer the phone first.

"Lao Chen, I'm frying hemp skewers, I haven't started, I'll start right away. Han Bo waved his hand at the three audience members, and he must apologize for disturbing their Yaxing.

If you are not on duty, you will also go back to your hometown to "fry hemp skewers" at this time.

Chen Weiguang stood by the window, looked at the light of the fire in the distance, and said with a smile: "Han Suo, just three things, I will report to you." First thing, Zhao Ju came over at noon today and just left. When you get to work, he'll come over and take command. ”

Zhang Ju really knew how to order the general, and actually arranged for Deputy Director Zhao, who was in charge of logistics and finance, to go to Liangzhuang to command and coordinate the new round of crackdowns that were about to begin.

He doesn't know much about business, where he is to command and coordinate, and he is clearly to collect money.

Han Bo laughed and laughed, Chen Weiguang also couldn't cry or laugh, leaning on the window and saying with a wry smile: "Bureau Zhao asked me to give you a word, and the Party Committee of the Bureau fully supports our crackdown." However, the requirements are also very high, and we need to help the bureau build an office building. ”

"The office building really looks up to us. Full support, do you have to say how to do it all, don't talk nonsense. ”

"There's no time to talk about it, it's real this time. Zhang Ju said that the fight against economic crime is extremely professional, and whether we are professional or not should be put aside, at least to make people look like we are very professional. I don't know where to get a commercial car imported from Japan, and I temporarily lend it to us together with the Iveco from the bureau.

A laptop is the kind of small computer, and there is only one in the bureau, which is allocated to us. The scanner I just bought a few years ago was also given to us. Last year, you supported the return of the cameras to their original owners, and the bureau leaders said that we need them more now.

Considering that the investigation of enterprises is not a crackdown on other criminal gangs, Zhang Ju believes that it is necessary to pay attention to the impact and not to investigate and close down people at once, and the comrades who participated in the action should buy a set of suits. In Hong Kong movies, there is either a department, or a police department that specializes in investigating economic crimes, which should mean something like that, and make people feel that we are very professional and cultured. ”

"Commercial Crime Bureau!"

"Yes, it's the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau, getting off the commercial car, wearing a suit and leather shoes, dragging a trolley box for one person, showing a police card search warrant, asking questions, checking accounts, taking pictures, recordings, scanning and copying account books, isn't it so interesting?"

Han Bo couldn't control it anymore, and he almost couldn't breathe with laughter.

But then again, investigating such a case must be on a show, not only to bluff the other party, but also to bluff the other party's network. Especially if you handle cases in different places, if you can't bluff the other party, you can't investigate it at all.

The director wanted to "fry hemp skewers", Chen Weiguang didn't want to take up too much of his time, and continued: "Just now it's equipment, and the second thing is personnel." Zhao Ju brought twelve people, all Xiucai, the lowest education secondary school, there are six junior colleges, one of which is a computer student. The level is okay, the elite soldiers will all be concentrated here, and there are few key finances, so I can only organize pre-job training. ”

"I called Sister Shen, and she didn't have time to ask her to arrange for someone else to come over. ”

"That's the best, and the most lacking thing right now is a teacher. ”

Chen Weiguang smiled and continued: "The last thing, considering that the people in the jurisdiction have opinions about the comrades who have just come over, I plan to draw a scoop according to the gourd, organize the police to go to the village to serve, and help those who have not applied for ID cards. They used to be always busy with this and that, and rarely went to the village, so by the way, they took this opportunity to go to the village to understand the situation in the jurisdiction. ”

"It's a good idea, now population management is based on the management of people, and many people don't need ID cards when they don't go far away. It doesn't matter if they can do it or not, we have to help them do it, otherwise there won't even be a photo in the office. ”

"I think so too, the photo studio is connected, there is money to be made, and several bosses are very positive. ”

"Lao Chen, since it is a service, it must be a service, how much should be charged, don't turn a good thing into a bad thing, and in the end, the people will poke their backbones in the back. ”

"Don't worry, we won't charge indiscriminately, we have a big operation next, there is no need to be angry and resentful for a little money. ”

"Okay, that's good, you guys are going according to plan. ”

"Han Bo, okay, no, everyone has blown up, waiting for you!"

"Alright, alright. ”

Mr. Han also waited a little anxiously, and hurriedly lit the "hemp string target", the head of the family, taking the lead, waving a "crackling" torch, rushed into his own field and shouted: "New Year and a half, fried hemp skewers, eighteen ears weigh a pound and a half, grandpa said, grandma looked, grandma said, grandpa looked"

Afraid that his daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law's sister would not understand, he actually sang an ancient song in Sigang Mandarin.

Li Xiaolei, Li Xiaohui and Han Fang laughed and trembled, and one by one they rushed to shout: "Han Bo, it's your turn, why don't you just dance and sing?"

"Xiaobo, don't be embarrassed, didn't you like fried hemp skewers the most when you were a child!"

Sing and sing, tonight all the men in Sigang shouted this, there is no shame. Han Bo waved a ring of fire and shouted: "The lantern is bright, the torch is red, and the hemp worm will be fried on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!"

"In the first and a half months, fried hemp skewers are other people's dishes, and the copper coins are big. My family's vegetables, other people's dishes, are rotten, and my family's vegetables are sold!"

As soon as the son spoke, Mr. Han was even more energetic, and the two fathers and sons sang and harmonized in the field.

As far as the eye could see, there were torches all around, and they had never seen such an interesting scene, Li Xiaolei and Li Xiaohui applauded like children, and they actually shouted together.

Han always acted as a family member, holding torches according to traditional customs, shining all over the fields and lighting the wild grass on the shores of the fields.

Han Bo returned to the ridge, panting and laughing: "Grandpa told me when he was alive that every year to fry hemp skewers depends on the fire to see the color of the fire, the fire is blazing to indicate a prosperous year, the white color of the five grains and abundant fire means that this year is a year of water, and the redness means that it is a dry year, which is very weird, and it is a bit of witchcraft when you think about it." ”

Li Xiaolei asked curiously: "Sigang's Torch Festival, when did this custom come down?"

"You really asked the right person, before I went to college, I always thought that only Sigang had it, and after chatting with a few classmates, I learned that there were all in the surrounding districts and counties. Everyone argued about the source, and finally asked a knowledgeable professor, who gave two explanations. ”

"What did the professor say?" As a Sigang person, he didn't know anything about it, and Han Fang was more curious than the two of them.

Han Bo wiped his sweat and patiently explained: "Fried hemp skewers are also called sentry fire or fire, and it is said that sentry fire originated from the Ming Dynasty's anti-Japanese war. In order to fight against the Japanese robbers, people used firewood and grass to make torches and take turns to set up sentry posts, which was called "whistle fire", which gradually became a custom.

However, the professor thinks this theory is untenable, and he believes that the custom of fried hemp skewers here originated earlier, probably from the ancient people's worship of fire and the god of fire. Quoting scriptures, turn out the Book of Poetry: Go to its moth, and its thieves, harmless to my Tian Ya. Tian Zu has a god, and he is heavy on fire. It is about the situation of farmers in the countryside holding torches to repel insects and beasts and protect the fields.

In addition, the Chongchuan bamboo branch words of Li Qi, a poet in the early Qing Dynasty, can also be corroborated, the mountain village is good at the beginning of the evening breeze, and the fire is not as good as Tianjin, but I wish the hemp worms can shine all the light and return to the wine pond fish. Original note after the poem: Yuan Xi set a fire, which is called a light on the hemp worm"

My brother-in-law is so knowledgeable, and although it was the explanation given by the professor, it was remarkable to be able to remember so many verses.

Li Xiaohui is very happy that her sister can find such a boyfriend, and she is very happy to be a relative of the "carpenter's house", and she laughs and laughs on the way back to the old house.

ps: New Year's Month and a half, fried hemp skewers, childhood memories, and share with all of you who have not fried, never seen or even heard of book friends
