Ma Xiaodong has been wandering outside all his life, and he has been to a lot of places, but no matter how prosperous the city is, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is no strong festive atmosphere in his hometown. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this small mountain village, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month can be said to be the last day of the New Year.

Therefore, today everyone will enjoy the joy of the festival, the Lantern Festival, the main thing is the 'lamp', as long as it can emit light, it is a lamp, and at night, the whole village will be lit up.

The first light was given to the ancestors, and every family would go to the cemetery to deliver lamps to the ancestors that evening. In the past, the lamps that everyone gave were homemade, using a piece of noodles to make the shape of a bowl, and put it outside to freeze, and when sending the lamps, take the lamp oil and the wick, and light it in the cemetery.

Later, everyone found that this is more dangerous, because most of the cemeteries are in the forest, such lights, easy to cause forest fires, so we thought of a way, the lights for the fire, are replaced by electric lights, with a few batteries, and then link a small bulb, which is not only bright, but also safe.

First of all, all the lights in the house must be turned on, and the lanterns used in the yard for the New Year should also be lit, just like during the New Year.

Then, a fire would be lit in the courtyard, and small fires would be set out from the courtyard to the street, so that if you were in the countryside on this day, you would find that the streets were full of fires, and the whole village was full of red fires.

Then everyone began to eat Lantern Festival, or dumplings, and set off fireworks. Children are born to play with fire, so whoever has the most fires and the brightest is guaranteed to have the most people in their family.

"Little brother, our classmates are going to the town today, are you going?" Early in the morning, just after eating, Yang Hailong hurriedly ran over.

"Go, what's wrong?"

"Driving?"

"Open!"

"Take me!"

"......" Ma Xiaodong felt a little familiar with this, but bring it with you, who made him his cousin.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Master Xu and another large van came to Ma Xiaodong's house, looking at the two cars, Ma Xiaodong suddenly remembered that Yang Hailong seemed to be unable to sit in his own car.

"Brother, you can't take my car, you have to take a van and go to the West Village to pick up people. ”

When Yang Hailong heard this, of course he didn't do it, who has a car and made a van?" asked suspiciously: "Can't you let the second donkey go?" ”

Ma Xiaodong explained: "But when I go to the East Village, there are exactly 3 people in the East Village, and you can't sit in the car when you go there." ”

"Isn't that enough to be four? Let them sit in the back, and I sit in the front?"

"There's someone up ahead. ”

"Who?"

"You don't care who it is, when you get someone, just go directly to the town, let's go around in the town." ”

Yang Hailong pouted reluctantly, got into Master Xu's van, Ma Xiaodong drove to the East Village, and after arriving in the East Village, Ma Xiaodong's first home was his classmate Xu Qiang's house.

Xu Qiang is the same age as Ma Xiaodong, and he is 16 years old after the New Year, but the conditions in Xu Qiang's family are even worse than Ma Xiaodong's family, their family is a single-parent family, his mother died early, and his father is a lame, so the living conditions are very poor.

The neighbors saw a car parked in front of their house during the Chinese New Year, and they were a little puzzled, this old Xu family still knew such a rich family, and when Ma Xiaodong got out of the car, everyone suddenly understood.

"Isn't this the kid from the old Ma family, the richest man in Beicun? Why did he go to Lao Xu's house?" Ma Xiaodong is known to someone, even if he doesn't know him, such a young child drives such a white four-circle car, everyone can guess it.

"What's wrong with this, Xu Qiang is a classmate with him, and he probably came to their house to play. A person next to him said.

"Oh, yes, Xu Qiang is about the same age as him, but look at other people, he can afford a car at such a young age, it's really amazing. ”

"Hey, don't say that among the children, it's us adults, how many can compare with others? This child is said to be an upward star descending to earth, it is estimated that which big man is reincarnated. "Since Ma Xiaodong's family has become the richest family in the four villages, there has been more and more gossip about their family, saying that he is the reincarnation of the gods in the sky.

"Really, who did you listen to?"

"Chen Er's blind man in Nancun, what he said, the old blind man has a set of hexagrams, and it is estimated that he can't fake it" Don't care about the gossip, there are always people who believe it.

Ma Xiaodong came to Xu Qiang's house, their house did not have a gate, and at the end of the empty yard was a three-room grass house, the house was low, covered with a thick layer of snow, and it looked like a big snowdrift from a distance.

At this time, Xu Qiang happened to be in the yard, and he didn't know what he was doing, holding this broken basin in one hand and that stick in the other, and he was stirring it vigorously. Ma Xiaodong walked up to see that half of the pot was filled with plant ash, sprinkled with diesel fuel, and a pungent smell made the yard all over the yard.

It turned out to be a lamp for use at night. The ash is made of diesel fuel and mud, placed in a pile every few meters, and then lit with a fire, which can continue to burn for a while, and most people use this thing to make a small fire in the yard.

"Xu Qiang, I'm here, and I'm waiting for delicious food. ”

Ma Xiaodong suddenly spoke, startling Xu Qiang, and when he looked up, it turned out to be his classmate Ma Xiaodong, and he smiled honestly and said, "When did you come?"

"Just arrived, let's go, I'll pick you up, let's go to the town to play, the classmates have gone, and you're left behind." ”

Xu Qiang shook his head when he heard this, and said a little lonely: "I'm not going, you can go." "He has ten yuan, he has time, and he wants to go, but he can't go, because he wants to keep the 10 yuan, and he is reluctant to spend it, maybe when the school starts, he can use it to pay tuition and buy books.

"I'll wipe it, you kid is too picky, you can't give up a dollar?"

When Xu Qiang heard this, he asked suspiciously, "One yuan, isn't it 10 yuan?"

Ma Xiaodong also pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Who said that 10 yuan? It's just one dollar, you hurry up and clean it up, everyone is waiting, don't let the family wait for you." ”

Xu Qiang looked at Ma Xiaodong and asked, "But if you have a dollar, it's not even enough to take a car, right?"

"Who said it's not enough? The cars I found are all my friends, you don't need to spend money, just give me a gas money, I said can you hurry up?" Ma Xiaodong continued to urge.

"Okay, you wait for me, I'll wash my hands, and I'll come. "A dollar, ruthless, out. (To be continued.) )
