Chapter 334: Broken Mirror Reunited
"Boom...... Crackling!" The continuous sound of firecrackers pierced the early morning sky in the village at the bottom of the mountain.
Liu Dabao planned the secret wedding ceremony for his parents, and after intensive preparations from all walks of life, the curtain was opened by beating gongs and drums.
Liu Manzhu and Hong Xing, a loving couple who once brought much joy to the people of Shandi Village, took away their happiness and their young and precious lives due to poverty. Left endless regrets and regrets to the people of Shandi Village!
Since they could not continue to live as a loving husband and wife, they sought to join hands in the underworld to be a long-term couple. However, he was beaten with a stick, and the sky was different. Life cannot be reunited, and death cannot be reunited. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, lonely, desolate and desolate, the years are long, twenty-two years. Finally, the future is terrifying, and the heavens favor them, looking forward to today's happy day of their remarriage!
On this day, the whole village of Shandi Village spontaneously came to help, and the villagers were very sympathetic to the tragic experience of Liu Manzhu and Hongxing, a pair of bitter mandarin ducks. On the other hand, they are very grateful to Dabao for his painstaking efforts to seek happiness for the villagers.
Therefore, the whole village, regardless of men, women, and children, were involved in this secret marriage ceremony. The people were busy doing all kinds of things, and first set up a large ceremonial platform in the most spacious part of the village street, which was supported by wooden pillars and covered with a green canopy. Hung a big red banner, the banner reads "Warm congratulations to Liu Manzhu and Wang Hongxing on the joy of remarriage", on both sides of the various colored flags, placed all kinds of flowers, wreaths, the platform is placed on the left side of the big red coffin of Liu Manzhu.
Early this morning, the people in the village went to the ancestral grave of Liu Degui's family to pick up Liu Manzhu's bones, put them in a large red coffin that had been painted in advance, and placed them on the platform, waiting for them to be remarried from the village at the bottom of the mountain, and then placed them side by side on the right side of Liu Manzhu's coffin.
After a few earth-shattering cannon sounds, the wedding convoy to marry the red apricot began to set off, the wedding convoy was draped in red and hung with colors, the flowers were full of flowers, Liu Dabao held the portrait of his father, sat in the wedding car, and thirty or forty cars followed behind him, and went straight to Huangling Village.
The Huangling Village Villagers' Committee held a meeting in advance and decided to fully support Wang Hongxing, a villager in the village, to return to his family. They reminisced about the life of the villager Hongxing together, and were very sympathetic to her misfortune. This activity is also a vivid life education for the villagers.
Therefore, first of all, the village committee took the lead and organized the villagers to make coffins separately, go up the mountain to the tomb of Wang Jicaizu to open the red apricot tomb, pick up the bones, and bury them in the big red coffin. Others set up a ceremony hall with wooden planks on the streets of the village. The coffin of the red apricot was then solemnly placed on the right side of the center of the venue, surrounded by flowers.
Flags fluttered at the venue, banners stood up, and a big red banner was hung on the top of the venue, which read: "Warm congratulations on the remarriage of Wang Hongxing and Liu Manzhu"
The villagers of Huangling Village and the villagers of Shandi Village all have the same feelings, one of them regrets that the red apricot girl in their village who is like a flower and can sing and dance is lost her young and precious life by poverty, and today I heard that she is going to return to her family and remarry her loving husband, and they all want to come to pay tribute and express their joy and sorrow. On the other hand, the lives of the people of Huangling Village have changed significantly since they joined Dabao's factory, and they also want to offer a congratulatory and memorial love out of gratitude to their benefactors.
Therefore, the whole village gathered early at the wedding scene on the street in the village to congratulate this special wedding!
After a while, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the firecrackers rang out, and Liu Manzhu's wedding convoy in Shandi Village entered the village in a mighty way. Forty cars lined up in front and back, winding a long line, paving all the streets of Huangling Village, and the tail was still outside the village entrance, and it came from the village that had not entered.
On behalf of all the villagers of Huangling Village and Hongxing's family, the cadres of the village committee went to the motorcade to greet Liu Manzhu's remains, and then hung the portraits of Liu Manzhu and Wang Hongxing high in the center of the venue.
The celebration ceremony began, and the venue was full of men, women and children from Huangling Village, as well as friends and relatives of Wang Hongxing's family.
Da Zhuang delivered a speech on behalf of all the villagers of Huangling Village at the ceremony:
Fellow villagers, all of us are gathered here today to pay tribute to and congratulate our villager Wang Hongxing on her honor to return to her family today and to have a happy reunion with her family. Our senior, when she was young, was the pride of our Huangling Village, she was the most beautiful girl in a radius of 100 miles, she was good at singing and dancing, she was once the leading actor of our Huangling Village amateur troupe, her singing and acting skills enlivened the cultural life of Huangling Village, and brought joy to the villagers.
She was fortunate to find a wishful husband, the two were in love, inseparable, and the family was happy and harmonious, but just twenty-two years ago, a man-made disaster took her young and precious life, and then took the lives of her family of six one after another.
This disaster happened in Shandi Village, but the root cause of the disaster is in our Huangling Village. The catastrophe can be summed up in two words: "poverty". It was poverty that took her life, her happiness, her everything!
Folks, poverty is the most terrible thing! This is the enlightenment that this terrible tragedy brought to all of us 22 years ago. How many years have we been poor in Huangling Village? Everyone has not had enough to eat, no warm clothes, and lives with their belts in their belts.
Which one does not want to be rich, and which generation does not want to be rich, but all generations have struggled with hope since they can remember, and in the end they all left with poverty and regret! The figures of our fathers who struggled, shed tears, and fell down in the midst of suffering and poverty are still vividly in our minds.
How can we get rich in the end? No one can solve this eternal main problem, and no immortal can come to our village to help the whole village get rid of the sea of suffering, however, this senior Wang Hongxing, who is lying on the platform of our memorial today, gave birth to a great son, his name is Liu Dabao.
He gave up the bright future of the capital and returned to his hometown with his girlfriend Tian Caihong to save the poor and save the villagers from the sea of suffering, they invested in setting up a poverty alleviation factory, and put his mother's hometown, all the villagers in Huangling Village, as long as they have the ability to work, are accepted as workers in their factory, and give us a lot of money to buy noodles and vegetables, and our lives have begun to change. The days when we were in tattered clothes and unwarm clothes gradually left us, and we began to wear warm ......."
At this time, some people in the venue excitedly shouted: "Thank you Dabao! Dabao is our life-saving benefactor!"
There was a thunderous cry in the venue: "Thank you Dabao! Thank you for saving your life!"
Da Zhuang went on to say: "Our generation of Huangling Village people are very lucky, we have such a good leader, leading us out of poverty to prosperity, every one of us in Huangling Village must remember the lessons of history, follow Dabao to work hard, for our future happy and prosperous life, for our future generations, blood, sweat, and struggle!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Follow Dabao and fight endlessly!"
At this time, the villagers came to burn incense and kowtow, Da Zhuang for everyone to have the opportunity to worship, so that the villagers lined up, so men, women and children held incense and flowers, walked to the red apricot coffin to burn incense and bow!
At this time, Wang Jicai and his wife came over, and when they looked at Dabao from afar, they cried and shouted: "Dabao!"
Dabao turned around and walked over. Wang Jicai bent his waist, his white hair was pale, he was old, and his voice trembled and said: "Child, it's all grandpa who is not good, grandpa is obsessed with ghosts......" said the old tears, trembling! Dabao quickly reached out and hugged him.
Wang Jicai continued to tearfully and said: "Child, however, I am in my last years, I can't stay in the world for a few days, my sins are heavy, and I will be punished when I go to the underworld, I just want to see you before I die, child! Grandpa wants to accompany you face to face!"
Liu Dabao said: "This matter has passed, don't think about it anymore." It's a great comfort for me and Erbao that you can let my mother come home!
At this time, the people next to him helped Wang Jicai and his family away. Then I only heard Da Zhuang shouting: "Shoot the cannon and play music!"
Suddenly, gongs and drums were noisy, and firecrackers roared! Forty cars honked their horns at the same time, and the sound was earth-shattering!
The gong and drum teams of Shandi Village and Huangling Village played in unison! Firecrackers and colorful chips flew all over the sky like snowflakes in October!
Da Zhuang continued to shout: "Get up the sedan chair!"
At this time, the villagers rushed to the coffin of the red apricot, and they all reached out to grab the coffin of the red apricot. People surged to lift the coffin of the red apricot and walked towards the car, and put it smoothly in the car.
Wang Hongbing held the portrait of Hongxing, and Liu Dabao held the portrait of Liu Manzhu and sat side by side on the back seat of the wedding car. Then, to the sound of firecrackers and drums, the car slowly started and began to drive towards the village at the bottom of the mountain.
Huangling Village, as Hongxing's mother's family, is equipped with five cars to send relatives. The first car was the wedding gong and drum team and firecracker players, and the last four cars were full of red apricots' relatives and dowry gifts, as well as some villagers in Shandi Village. The five vehicles followed behind the convoy at the bottom of the mountain. The more than 40 cars, all dressed in red and flowers, slowly drove towards the village at the bottom of the mountain at an even speed.
The whole village of Huangling Village, men, women and children hugged each other, waved their hands, and said goodbye until all the people of the village gathered at the entrance of the village, a large area of black pressure, looking at the mighty and stretching convoy of rolling yellow dust and going farther and farther, and gradually disappeared at the end of the road at the edge of the village!
At this time, a burst of screams came: "Quick, no, someone fainted!"
The black pressed people were in chaos all of a sudden, and everyone rushed towards the fainted people in a chaotic manner, and when the people helped the fainted people up, it turned out to be Wang Jicai!
At this time, people hurried to first aid, some shouted: "Hurry! Hurry up and pinch the acupuncture points with your thumb nails!" Some shouted: "Don't dare to let him stand up, let him sit on the ground, don't let him leak, once he leaks, he will be gone!"
Someone shouted, "Hurry up, go back to the village and call the doctor!"
