Li Manman had breakfast, and took his younger brother and friends to the team site in a hurry, to occupy a good position, otherwise he would not see anything, and the countryside could see the famous flower drum lamp in the future at the end of the year, that is, on the third day of the new year, so almost all the men, women and children of the whole team would come to see.
Li Manman stood in the front row, protecting his younger brother, and then turned his mind to the hometown hub lamp celebrities mentioned in the previous information, the little red shoes and a line, according to the records, the little red shoes should be in their seventies now, and they can't play, but his apprentice line is just the right year, and it should be seen today that this person in the previous life later opened a small restaurant to make a living.
The place where the flower drum lantern is played is a threshing field in front of the team headquarters, which used to be used when paying public grain, and later became a public venue. Now there is a circle of red rope in the middle of the barn, there is a group of people beating gongs and drums in the red rope, the drum has a big drum, fixed on the ground, and the waist drum, tied to the waist with a red rope, the tail of the drumstick helps a red silk, the gong has a single gong, in the hand, with a hammer, the sound is relatively heavy, and there are double gongs, respectively in two hands, the sound is relatively light and crisp, but the hometown calls this kind of gong as a gong, these people are knocking, while the body shakes with the music, very devoted.
After a while, the actors came on the stage, several people with various colors of silk tied on their heads, wearing silk clothes of the same color, some holding flower balls, some waving belts around their waists, and the one in the middle was holding a very beautiful umbrella, and around the umbrella hung various flower balls, flying with the rotation of the umbrella. These people twisted their waists, some of them cocked their orchid fingers, beating with the beat of the drum, the people around them let out a burst of cheers, and the people of how old they were pointing at their dance, as if they were commenting, Li Manman didn't understand these things, she just liked to be lively.
"It's a kiss! Then the bride and groom should come up! An old lady next to her smiled and said, Li Manmanxin said, is this flower drum lantern performance about marriage?
Sure enough, there was a group of actors behind him, there was an actor dressed as a groom, riding a black donkey, staggering next to a sedan chair, the black donkey was not real, it was stuck on the actor's waist before and after, with the twisting of the actor's waist, making various movements, the sedan chair was dressed very beautifully, the bride sat in it shyly and timidly, in fact, the sedan chair was the same as the donkey, at this time, a curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, revealing the bride's face, everyone laughed, it was a man dressed up, He painted red rouge on his two faces, and his mouth was also red lipstick, and he also ordered an eyebrow, which was very funny, but he also made a shy appearance, cocked his orchid fingers, pouted his flaming red lips, Taotao laughed and fell, Li Manman also laughed out of tears, this kind of anti-string is too hurtful, how can there be that kind of anti-string in later generations.
"Oh my god! This line is also too unsophisticated! The old lady next to her wiped her tears from laughter and sighed, "Time is not forgiving!" What a handsome young man back then! ”
Li Man paused for a moment, this is the line of the hub lamp artist? This is too close to the people, isn't it? The so-called artists of later generations are not bullish! Heck, what a great opportunity you can see the artists performing in the materials with your own eyes, and you can't waste it! Li Manman hurriedly watched the performance seriously.
The groom rode a donkey, around the sedan chair to make various movements, the bride picked up the sedan chair curtain to send autumn spinach, the sedan chair swayed, like a willow leaf in the water, in fact, the actor used small broken steps below, the effect was made, Li Manman stared hard at the sedan chair below, trying to see a line of dance steps, but the curtain of the sedan chair was very tight, not easy to see, and I regretted it.
There is also a heavyweight next to the sedan chair, that is, the matchmaker, he has a big monkey at the corner of his mouth, two red faces, a big red flower pinned to his ears, holding a hand towel, twisting his fat waist, following the sedan chair with three trembling steps, and throwing some peanuts and candy and other things to the audience from time to time, causing a burst of scrambling.
The show was gradual, greeting relatives, worshipping flowers, and making a hole in the room, which was very lively, and later many viewers joined in, and jumped up with the actors with the rhythm of gongs and drums. There are many people in my hometown who can dance the flower drum lantern and sing opera. Every year after the spring harvest, the brigade will sing, and the troupe is the people of the brigade.
After watching the performance, Li Manman dragged his younger brother home for dinner, and there seemed to be a sound of gongs and drums in his head, and Taotao ran home three times and again, sometimes twisting his little buttocks.
When he got home, Li Manman found that there were a few strangers in the house, his father Li Tianxue was talking with an old man with a lot of temperament, a thin little boy was sitting next to him, holding a book and reading, and a few younger ones were sitting next to him.
Li Man blinked, these people, she had never seen them in her previous life, I don't know who they are?
"Dad, Mom, I watched the hub light, it's so lively!" Taotao ran to the living room and shouted, "I'm hungry!" Is the rice cooked? ”
"Taotao, don't be naughty, don't you see the guests? Come and say hello to Grandpa Feng! Li Tianxue said to his son. Taotao pursed her eyes, looked at the old man sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, and said in a milky voice, "Hello Grandpa Feng!" ”
Li Manman followed his younger brother into the house, listened to his father's words, and said, "Hello Grandpa Feng!" ”
"Hey! Good! The old man looked at the two children, the little boy was chubby, a childish mass, and the big girl, from the way she came in just now, she should be a quiet and smart person, and said to Li Tianxue with a smile, "Tianxue, these are your two children?" Not bad! All smart and polite! ”
Li Tianxue smiled with honor and said modestly: "Two naughty bags, children from the countryside, very wild!" ”
"Huh? Children have to be lively, like this grandson of my family is like a nerd all day long, I am very worried! The old man said with a smile, pointing to the child who was reading.
"Love to learn, it's good!" Li Tianxue smiled and boasted, "Wenwen is quiet, and at first glance he is doing learning!" Two of my family, even if the small one is a boy, he loves to cause trouble, and the big one does not stop, just Chinese New Year's Eve, and beat the little soldiers of the Long Road family! ”
"Little soldiers? That kid must be quite old! The old man thought for a while, he remembered that when he returned to the city after his rehabilitation, Zhu Changlu's family had two children, and the younger one seemed to be called Xiaobing.
"Five years older than Dahong! What do you think this girl is doing! Li Tianxue complained with doting.
"He provoked me first, he can't make trouble first, I'll pretend to be a fool!" Li Manman took a sip of a glass of boiled water and explained.
"Yes! He hates it! My sister ignored him, he still came to stir up trouble, he should be beaten! Taotao drank the water in her sister's cup and said dissatisfiedly to her father.
The old man laughed loudly and said to Li Tianxue: "You two children, it's really painful! He turned his head to Li Manman's sister and brother and said, "You're right, we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it!" He asked Li Manman again, "Your name is Da Hong?" Li Yuanhong? ”
Li Manman rolled his eyes in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "My nickname is Da Hong, my big name is not Li Yuanhong, my name is Li Manman, the road is long, and I will go up and down and seek a long way!" ”
"My name is Li Xiuyuan! The nickname is Taotao! Taotao bared her little white teeth and followed her sister.
"Huh? Do you still know "Lisao"? The little boy who was reading quietly raised his head and looked at Li Manman. When Li Manman's sister and brother came in, his attention had been shifted from the book, today he followed his grandfather from Pingjing, he really wanted to avoid the annoying group of relatives at home, he didn't expect to see such a girl in this poor and remote place, she was dressed plainly, with a black braid behind her, she glanced at it just now, and what impressed him the most was the two eyes, black and shiny, just like the eyes of the cat raised by grandma, with wildness.
"Huh?" Li Manman was surprised, this child has not made a sound since he entered the house, but he feels not weak, "I know, I have seen it!" "Li Tianxue has a lot of ancient books.
