Chapter Seventy-Three: Gongs and Drums Welcome Relatives
The sound of gongs and drums gradually approached, and the three of them lay on the car and stared intently ahead, staring at the lump.
Especially the old secretary and Secretary Huo, they can't guess the mystery at all! Such a voice is impossible in normal times, especially in this season, when the world has forgotten the folk customs, abandoned the world, and is bent on revolution, and there is no such scene of gongs and drums and jubilation!
The old secretary glanced at Secretary Huo, and Secretary Huo's face was full of doubts! Is this familiar and unfamiliar voice a blessing or a curse?
The two of them widened their eyes!
Two heads were exposed on the small kung fu slope, three heads, five heads, seven, eight, and ten......
The two people who walked in front carried a big drum, there was a person in the middle of the "dong dong" beating, behind them was a group of people playing gongs, led by them, and gradually walked up to the rows of gongs and drums, and then there was a pair of people with red satin tied around their waists, they twisted their waists with the beat of the drum while walking, their arms danced up and down, their legs crossed left and right, and they were happily dancing the big Yangge! Then came up a pair of pairs of stilt teams, they also wore red satin tied around their waists, and skillfully followed the team to dance Yangge! The last to come up was a large group of children and women with children, who followed the procession, not at all chaotic, and the discerning person saw that it had been carefully arranged!
Knock knock knock, knock knock! Knock knock knock, knock ......knock
The team continued to move forward in an orderly and slow manner, all with smiles on their faces, walking towards the old secretary and Secretary Huo, and towards the jeep.
What are they doing here? The old secretary and Secretary Huo both looked at each other with the same doubts on their faces, looked at the crowd that was gradually coming, and looked at the cheerful Yangge team in the car stupidly.
When the Yangge team was twenty meters away from them, they saw that the leading drummer stopped, the drum in his hand was still dancing, and the crowd behind was gradually fanning towards the jeep.
What do you mean? At this time, the old secretary glanced at Secretary Huo, and said in his heart, is there fraud in it? This was the method we used to at that time, but it always worked, so you couldn't guard against it!
Secretary Huo also glanced at the old secretary, with the same expression, he suddenly became solemn, the strings in his head were tight, and he always paid attention to every move of these people? !
At this time, the crowd surrounding the jeep is constantly spreading and condensing!
At this time, the leader replaced a drummer, and I saw that he threw off his arms, and the beat of the drum was louder than before, and the twisting of the team was also more amplitude with his drumming. Women and children with children in their arms stood on both sides, smiling and watching the excitement.
As the procession progressed, the procession began to move in a circular motion from south to north, jumping continuously, shaking, and writhing around the jeep, the sound of gongs and drums shook the land, and the waving streamers flew up and down, and it became a sea of joy!
The old secretary and Secretary Huo got out of the car, they didn't know what they meant, but after all, this was the old revolutionary area, and the folk customs told them that they had to come down out of politeness, which was the minimum etiquette.
At this time, an old man came out of the team of twisting Yangge, only to see him walking towards the old secretary and Secretary Huo while twisting, he kept the ribbon in both hands, flew up and down to the two of them, smiled deeply and bowed, and made a gesture of please.
The old secretary and Secretary Huo understood that they were inviting them to dance together. The old secretary and Secretary Huo once fought in this area, and this was one of the earliest liberated areas to be established, and the military and civilian cadres and masses at that time had a deep affection for each other and got along very well. At that time, no matter what you did, it was the leaders who took the lead and asked the masses to do it, and you had to do it yourself, otherwise you would be eliminated by the masses and gradually alienated.
Yangge is an indispensable project, which requires leading cadres to learn to twist Yangge and mingle with the people, which is the primary condition for judging a competent leading cadre! The old secretary and Secretary Huo are both northerners, Yangge is very popular in the northern region, adults and children have been influenced by this form of celebration since childhood, almost no one can't, you just don't jump, you can see it from a young age.
The old secretary and Secretary Huo know how to twist Yangge too well, at that time, the battle was won, a celebration was held, whose young man married a daughter-in-law, and the woman gave birth to a child and added Ding to import, they organized everyone to beat the drum and beat the gong to twist the Yangge. Although so many years have passed, if they really jump, these two people are no worse than them!
The old secretary looked at Secretary Huo, and the two of them looked at the old man who couldn't afford to salute, and they were very warm, only to see that the two of them also made the same deep salute to the old man, so they shook their arms with him, twisted their waists, and twisted towards the crowd with the old man. At the same time, the crowd of onlookers also resounded with thunderous applause and applause!
Knock knock knock, knock knock! Knock knock knock, knock ......knock
At this time, the noise of gongs and drums reached the extreme, beating drums, playing gongs, exerting the strength of drinking milk, shaking the eardrums are "buzzing"!
At this time, the children around the leading drummer couldn't hold back, and they didn't care whether they looked good or not, and whether they danced correctly or not, they also began to jump around with the team!
People jumped, writhed, and jumped happily! The old secretary and Secretary Huo may be the reason for their slightly chubby bodies, the two of them are particularly conspicuous in the team, and at the same time, they also noticed that everyone's eyes are on them, as if this celebratory scene was specially prepared for them!
"Lao Huo, take off your sunglasses, it's time for you, what are you still wearing sunglasses to show off? What kind of shelves are you? The old secretary glanced back at Secretary Huo and said.
Secretary Huo let out an "oh", then remembered that he was still wearing sunglasses, so he quickly took them off and put them in his pocket, and then twisted them again!
"Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! At this time, I only heard the leading drummer suddenly shouting loudly to the beat of the drum while beating the drum!
"Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! ……”
As soon as the leader's words fell, the same sound sounded like a tide in the team of twisting Yangge! The sound rises and falls, with the writhing footsteps, a high sound, endless, and the sound is endless!
"Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! ……”
At this time, the old secretary glanced back at Secretary Huo and motioned him to come out quickly, don't be indiscriminate inside!
The old secretary and Secretary Huo quickly came to the center of the circle, bowed deeply to the writhing crowd and said, "Thank you, folks!" Thank you, folks! ”
"Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! ……”
"Thank you, folks! Thank you! The two of them kept bowing to the crowd and thanking them, bowing and thanking them more than once!
"Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! ......" At this time, the leader shouted more and more energetically, and he had no intention of stopping!
"Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! Welcome, old secretary! ......The more the leader shouted, the more energetic the crowd shouted!
The old secretary thought to himself, it's not okay to be like this, the bumps along the way don't count, and then such endless bowing, although it is a good thing, but this is too unbearable! I don't even know why this is, I don't know anyone here, why do you want to welcome us with such a grand scene?!
"Hey, the one who beats the drum, don't knock it! You can't fool me about this, as soon as you stop, everyone will be fine! Come on, come on, I want to talk to you! The old secretary shouted loudly at the leading drummer.
The drumming finally stopped, and the crowd of Yangge twisters gradually stopped, and everything gradually quieted down.
At this time, I saw the leader walking towards them. The old secretary carefully identified this person, thinking in his heart, this person must know me, he must be a person I had a very deep friendship with when I was in this area, otherwise he would not be like this to us! But when this person approached, the old secretary still couldn't recognize this person!
"Old secretary, hello!" The man bowed deeply to the old secretary and said.
"Hey, hey, hey! I didn't die when I fought the Japanese devils, are you trying to torture me to death today? Well?! I cried for a long time and didn't know who died, you just want me to die, and you want me to die, don't you? Tell me, what the hell is going on? The old secretary said.
At this time, the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter!
"Old secretary, don't you recognize me?" The man said to the old secretary.
The old secretary looked this person up and down carefully again, but he couldn't remember who this person was, so he shook his head.
"My old secretary, let's agree together for so many years, although we have been apart for a long time, but you can't remember anyone and forget me!" The man said.
