Chapter 524: Fifteen Lion Dances

Boss Yan is scary again!

It is the time of the Chinese New Year, even if there is heavy snow blocking the road, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for stringing relatives.

The crowd of people coming and going has caused a consequence, no matter what happens, it can spread all over a radius of dozens of miles in the shortest time, much faster than calling one by one.

The people of Sancha River are not afraid that there is no talk about relatives during the New Year, and the Yan boss of our township has broken a big tree with the thickness of a water tank - the rumor is like this, you exaggerate a little, I exaggerate a little, and the tree is getting thicker and thicker, and it has become directly broken from the original crooked.

The problem is that everyone believes this, and they all know that Boss Yan is a kung fu master, and in ancient times, it was at the level of Chu Bawang and Fengxian Yuanba. So what he did, everyone was not surprised.

On the contrary, because Yan Fei did this kind of thing, he was even more talked about, and his reputation increased again.

This is also normal, a teenage boss, if he is stable in everything every day, everyone will probably have to treat him as a demon and stay away. often do this kind of 'out of tune' thing, everyone thinks, this is what Boss Yan should look like in our hearts - after all, he is a teenager, and he occasionally recklessly does something that is stunned, and everyone understands it very well. I feel that this is a 'person', not a 'saint' who has completely separated from our big guys.

As soon as Yan Fei came home, he was completely fine, usually his parents also knew that he had great strength, but they didn't know that this strength had been growing with age, and now it was so terrifying, so they didn't dare to let him run around, so they simply started thinking work for him at home.

The persimmon tree he hit, not to mention a human collision, is not afraid of a car collision - in the past, there was a four-wheeled tractor in the village that lost control, and people jumped out of the car to let the tractor crash into it, that is, knocked off a few pieces of veneer and dropped some wood residue.

Of course, it was the root of the tree, and he jumped up and hit the upper point, which was a bit opportunistic. Even so, it's scary enough, anyway, all the way back, when his aunt and old couple looked at him, their eyes were full of weirdness.

But this is not a matter, it can only show that the old couple has no knowledge. People who didn't look at the Sancha River came and went, and no one questioned it, which means that this is normal!

The terrible nature of habit lies in this, from the beginning of catching cattle thieves, to carrying big stones to block the door, and now hitting crooked trees, everyone has long felt that this is a very normal thing, but few people feel that this is not the strength that people should have.

By the time the news reached a little farther away, the rumors had turned into rumors and were completely unbelievable.

What his son has done in just a few years is an achievement that the couple has struggled for a lifetime, and now Yan Wenhai and his wife look at their son, and there is only one sentence left in their hearts: The people's congress is not up to him.

It's good to say that I don't know what to say, after all, although my son is a little impulsive and reckless, it's not wrong. Since this is the case, I can only try to care about my son as much as possible and accompany my son more. I hope that with the love of my parents, I can let my son be how he will be in the future.

Actually, it's not bad, although Lin Xiumei loves to nag, but it's all aimed at Yan Wenhai. Her son was so competitive, she was reluctant to say it at all. When a father is more aggrieved, occasionally saying that his son is not, his son will jump out to protect the calf, which is really unreasonable.

Yan Fei really likes this kind of life, with his parents here, others call him to eat or something, his reasons for refusing are really sufficient, and he sent away those who want to come over for a treat - my mother is cooking my food at home!

Filial piety comes first, no one can not let the family accompany their parents, right?

Today's Boss Yan celebrates the New Year, and the gifts he receives at home are piled up. Although it is not worth much, it is festive to look at when people come and go. And most of them come by the way, so you don't have to worry about the meal.

Other bosses, they always have to see some 'leaders' during the New Year's holidays, this guy is good, just make a phone call to pay a New Year's greeting, and don't even have to go out.

Seeing that the Lantern Festival is about to pass, Sanchahe Township is particularly lively. For people who don't have a lot of entertainment, 15 is definitely a big day.

On this day, there are dragon and lion dances and rowing boats, martial arts and acrobatics singing, and those who have unique skills must take advantage of this good day to come out and show their faces, and by the way, they can also earn pocket money - the dragon and lion dance team will give something in front of someone's store or factory enterprise, whether it is money or gifts, it is all for the sake of celebration.

Yan Fei began to wrap the red envelopes early in the morning, all of them were directly wrapped in a hundred yuan, one after another, so that Yan's mother, who had been going to work for a few days and came back, looked at it straight: "Dead child, this money is not money, is it? Whoever has a lion dance will give 100 at once when he arrives at the door, and others are generally ten yuan and eight yuan, and thirty or twenty yuan is more." If you want to do more, just give fifty, how much do you have to send out like you?"

Xu Xiaoyan watched him being scolded for secretly being happy, Yan Fei rolled her eyes, turned her head and showed a smile to her mother: "How many can there be? Can you come to a hundred families if you die? Your son is also a multimillionaire now, I spend 10,000 yuan, which is equivalent to you spending ten yuan, which is not much." By the way, Dad, if you don't have money to buy cigarettes, tell me next time, I'll give you 180,000 pocket money first?"

"What he thinks!" Lin Xiumei's eyes widened. "I talk about quitting smoking all day long, and when I go out, I see people handing over cigarettes faster than anyone else. In this way, I still want pocket money to buy cigarettes, and I want to be beautiful. I will tell you, Thou shalt not give it to him. I heard that there was no Yan Wenhai, don't be cheeky and ask your son for money, do you know?"

This is simply a disaster from the sky, Yan's father didn't say a word next to him, he was 'framed' by his son and became a shield, and was crackled by the child and his mother, and he didn't even dare to say a word - smoking is an unreasonable thing, and he can still be reasonable, but this thing can't be done, it really can't be said.

Xu Xiaoyan secretly twisted Yan Fei a few times while people were unprepared, this person is too bad, in order not to be told by his mother, he even took out his father and betrayed him, and the bad one is simply not enough.

Lin Xiumei caught Yan Wenhai for a moment, and then realized that she was being diverted by Yan Fei, and in a blink of an eye, she stretched out her finger and nodded on Yan Fei's head: "You dead child, now even your mother is fooled, right?"

Yan Fei smiled, wrapped the last few red envelopes, grabbed them and stuffed them in his pocket, picked up his younger brother and ran out: "Go and watch the lion dance!"

The little guy was suddenly picked up, and he didn't panic at all, he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. Giggled and laughed, and didn't forget to shout: "Parents, sisters-in-law, hurry up, look at the big lion!"

Although it was not the first time that the little guy had called his sister-in-law in front of Yan Fei's parents, every time he heard this title, Xu Xiaoyan's face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

A few members of the family came to the gate, and Kuroko had already prepared firecrackers and candy waiting here. Firecrackers are seen lion dancers coming, set off in advance to welcome them to come over lively, if you don't set off firecrackers, people will go directly - this is the rule, if the small shop does not prepare firecrackers, then say hello, ready gifts to call the lion dancers over.

As for the candy, it is used to greet children, generally after the firecrackers go off, there will be bears and children come to pick up the firecrackers that have not been set off and take them back to play - although the cattle farm is far away from the town, but it is okay for adults to grab a handful, the more people, the more lively, symbolizing the more prosperous the year.

The older generation attaches more importance to this symbolism, and it is inevitable that some people, especially young people, have to prove that they are 'drunk alone and I am sober', thinking that this is superstition. In fact, the festival is originally to have a lively time, if everything is superstitious, then there is really no need for any festival, and you will not be hungry every day.

However, there is a festival that is not superstitious, and there is not a Thanksgiving Day in the West, and many people think that foreign festivals are good, so they follow blindly. In fact, this is the biggest joke, when a group of white people were helped by the Indians in the season of martyrdom, and then after this group of whites stood firm, they slaughtered the Indians one after another, occupied people's places, and had a 'Thanksgiving' to show that they had not forgotten their help.

If gratitude is like this, then it is better to have fewer 'Thanksgiving' in this world......

As soon as the entrance of the cattle farm was ready, a group of people carried lion's heads and gongs and drums to this side. When he saw people crossing the bridge, they were not ready, so he beckoned Li Fang to lift the bamboo pole wrapped around the firecracker, and took the lighter and went up.

A group of people over there also saw that the people at the gate of the field were preparing, and someone greeted them, so they hurriedly raised the lion's head, beat the gongs and drums, and ran this way.

I don't know if it's a rule, anyway, as soon as the firecrackers go off, the lion dancers have to dance under the firecrackers, and if the lion hasn't arrived after the firecrackers, it doesn't seem to be very good - this situation basically rarely happens, I don't know what it is.

Yan Chao skillfully covered his ears before the firecrackers were lit, and watched the lion run over and start screaming excitedly, and in a blink of an eye, his little face turned red with excitement, and he didn't know what to say happily.

Fortunately, the firecrackers prepared by the cattle farm can be put for a long time, the two lions finally arrived at the last moment next to the firecrackers, and the gongs and drummers behind them also ran fast, even so, the drumming and beating gongs are still not messy, it can be seen that this craft has also been tempered by thousands of tempers, and it is definitely not a lion to go to the street to mix pocket money.

Speaking of the location of the cattle farm, there is also an advantage, as long as it is the lion and dragon dance team from the west, it is here that the official performance begins, and the formal spirit is the best time to be full of strength.

Yan Chao jumped up and down excitedly, simply broke away from Yan Fei's arm, let his brother put himself down, and stood on the ground and shouted. Children are stronger than the generation, there used to be children who were scared to cry when they saw the "lion", and now the children already know that this is fake, and when the lion jumps over, they dare to come up and want to touch it.

Yan Fei saw that his younger brother was excited, so he squatted down and took out a red envelope for him: "Do you want to try to put your hand in the lion's mouth?"

"Huh?" the little guy was excited, and when he heard this, he was eager to try, but he was a little scared. After all, even if you know it's fake, the "lion" is so big!

But in the end, Yan Fei was not disappointed, and in the end, the little guy mustered up his courage and took the red envelope and came up.

The people around him burst out laughing, and the little guy was still a little afraid, and when he saw the lion dancing towards him, he seemed to be a little afraid to look at it, and he didn't want to retreat, and wanted to show himself in front of his family—so he stood diagonally, as if he could run back at any moment. One hand is held diagonally upwards in the direction of the lion, the head is twisted to the side, and the eyes are slanted towards the lion.

The expression that wants to see but doesn't dare, doesn't dare to see it, and the expression that curiosity overcomes fear, is really hilarious.

The lion dancers over there naturally did not scare the children, so when they arrived here, they began to slow down, slowly lowered the lion's head, and then "swallowed" the little one's arm with the lion's mouth - the people inside took advantage of this cover to take away the red envelope.

When he put his arm into the "lion's mouth", the little guy was so frightened that he covered his eyes with his other hand, and dared to peek obliquely through the gap between his eyes. When he felt that the red envelope in his hand was taken away, the lion slowly retreated with his body low, and when he saw this scene through his fingers, he immediately took down the palm that covered his eyes.

Then he was as excited as if he had done something particularly great, and ran back with an excited face, his little face was red, and he was a little excited to speak: "Brother, I ...... I put my arm in the lion's mouth, and he didn't bite me......"

Yan Fei hugged his younger brother: "Okay, if there is a dragon dance later, can you dare to put your arm in the dragon's mouth?"

The little one had just finished a "great expedition" and was excited, and immediately replied without thinking: "I dare!"

Over there, the lion handed the red envelope to the group of people who beat the gong and drum, and when they opened the red envelope, a group of people were a little excited. For them, the first one gave a hundred red envelopes, which is definitely a big start.

Suddenly the crowd became more lively, and it was not until another group of rowers came that the lion dancers left.

A dry boat is actually a person carrying a boat-shaped shelf in the middle, and in front of it is a boatman holding an oar, which looks like he is rowing. Because there is no water on the road, it is called a dry boat.

A single dry boat is not lively enough, and there are a few cute big-headed dolls in front of and behind the team.

This time Yan Chao was much braver, he ran up to a big-headed doll with a red envelope, he didn't know whether it was a man or a woman inside, anyway, there were men and women dressed up, and he handed the red envelope to others and shouted: "Auntie, can I touch this of yours?"

This small request is still easy to meet, and the big-headed doll he called his aunt took off the "big-headed doll", Yan Chao was stunned, and it turned out to be a young man - the technology in the countryside is not up to par, but this "big-headed doll" is very heavy, that is, the labor is enough to choke for most of the day.

Yan Chao stupidly watched the young man hand the "big head" to himself, and he didn't know if he touched it or not, so he turned his head and ran back as if he was running away, and the young man who got it thought he had done something wrong, and his red face, which was already covered by the "big head", became even redder.

Next, there is a sedan chair, the front is a "matchmaker", in short, how to dress up, a big red coat, a black scarf with gold rim on the head, holding a big fan in his hand, walking up and calling for a fan, twisting and twisting to take off.

This looks like an old man pretending, anyway, it's just a celebration, whether it's vulgar or art, everyone who sees it is happy. The back is a donkey rider, of course the donkey is fake, that is, the body shape of a donkey in front of and behind a person, colorful and a little funny.

Behind it is the sedan chair, of course, it is also fake, the sedan chair has no bottom, and people are walking in it. It's just that there are curtains on both sides of the sedan chair, and you can't see it if you don't pay attention to it.

Yan Chao made another joke, he ran forward excitedly, shouting that the eldest sister handed the red envelope to the person in the sedan chair, and made the "new daughter-in-law" in the sedan chair blush-also the young man pretended.

Generally, there are no women who come out to perform, and these traditional customs began to circulate very early, and at that time, a few women dared to show their heads like this. After a long time, they formed a habit of pretending to be men.

Xu Xiaoyan saw that Yan Chao was so funny, she was so happy that she couldn't find the north. The parents-in-law who didn't care about the future were still standing behind, pulling Yan Fei's arm and laughing vigorously.

Then Yan Chao ran back and shouted at her: "Sister-in-law, when will you marry my brother, will you also sit in a sedan chair at that time?"

"Ha......" Yan Fei couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud all of a sudden. Yan's father and Yan's mother next to him were also uncomfortable, but Xu Xiaoyan's face was red, and her two little hands turned into flying claws, scratching Yan Fei's arms!

After waiting for a long time, and didn't wait for the dragon dance to come, Yan Fei estimated that it would be gone this year. Because the dragon dance is not like the lion dance, this is more difficult, and a group of people have to cooperate well to dance beautifully, unlike lions and two people.

didn't wait for the dragon dance, but actually waited for the old Wang of the Forestry Bureau-Ma Yongming's father-in-law, who is now the leader of the County Forestry Bureau.

Yan Fei saw the enthusiasm he smiled with after getting out of the car, and knew that it was nothing good for him to come. As soon as his eyes rolled his eyes, he came to the idea, and he pulled it over and was jumping to the west to look at it, wanting to wait for the little guy from the dragon dance team to come: "Xiaochao is here to give Uncle Wang a New Year's greeting!"

He asked Ma Yongming if it was true to call Uncle Ming, but it was a friendship left by his grandfather, and he was not related. So when I saw Director Wang coming, I was a little unhappy to count according to Ma Yongming's seniority, and directly asked my younger brother to call Uncle Wang according to his age.

Seeing Yan Chao giving himself a New Year's greeting, and the little guy was also obediently making a gesture, Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took out a piece of money from his pocket, took out one and handed it to the little guy: "Well, the little friend is really good, this is the New Year's money that Uncle gave you." ”

If it is not over the fifteenth, then it is not called the end of the New Year, and the younger generations will pay New Year's greetings to the elders, so they have to give the New Year's money - originally they were not relatives, but Lao Wang came over on the fifteenth day of the first month, and it is conceivable that it must be nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, so even if he reacts that this is Yan Fei deliberately playing tricks on himself, he will also give the New Year's money.

It's just that he obviously underestimated someone's shamelessness, and when Yan Chao happily took the New Year's money and ran aside, Yan Fei smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello Uncle Wang, the New Year is auspicious." I wish you a high rise every year, step by step. New Year's money to ......"

It's true that the richer a person is, the more he will make money!

Lao Wang is depressed, you are also a big boss, although I, the small director, is called the director, but the salary, it is estimated that you can't even look down on it when you are all the New Year's money.

Seeing that his face was full of expressions like "you are embarrassed", Yan Fei was not polite at all: "Uncle Wang, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish you to rise step by step, and rise high every year......

Shamelessness is also a kind of realm!

Lao Wang was ashamed of himself, and took out the money he had just stuffed into his pocket with a sad face......
