Chapter 11: Enough Cow
The sun hid in the crack of the mountain like a shy bride, and the glow of the sun that burst out of her burst fell on every corner of Meixi Village, which was incomparably gorgeous; Wisps of cooking smoke rising from the farmhouse courtyard swayed into the mountains and forests with the mountain breeze and drifted into the colorful sky, filling this quiet mountain village with the breath of life.

It's the weekend, and Hua Qiangqiang wants to go back to the city. She stood in front of the office of the village committee, looking at the scenery in front of her, but she was reluctant.
"Secretary Qiangqiang, let's go back early, it will be dark later, this mountain road is not easy to walk." Huang Da Niu urged.
"Cooking smoke curls around the village, and the sunset reflects the green hills. It's so poetic! Hua Qiangqiang is still intoxicated.
"Well, it's really beautiful! Don't say that you look fresh and don't want to leave, it's me, a native of the mountains, I've been watching it for more than 30 years, and I still feel very beautiful, and the more I look at it, the more I love her! Huang Da Niu also said intoxicated.
Hua Qiangqiang listened to Huang Daniu's heartfelt words, and couldn't help but feel excited. Before going to the countryside, she heard rumors that Huang Daniu loves to do his own thing, is authoritarian, and is difficult to get along with. After a period of contact, Hua Qiangqiang felt that his personality was bold and stubborn, and there was no lack of gentleness in his strength; He is good at analytical thinking and has the courage to take responsibility. In particular, his love for his hometown is the most touching, and Hua Qiangqiang is convinced that his sincere heart for his hometown is enough for him to release infinite positive energy. Hua Qiangqiang was extremely pleased that she could have such a working partner, she looked at Huang Da Niu with trust, and then nodded to him sincerely.
The two couldn't help but chat about the future planning of Meixi Village for a while. Suddenly, Hua Qiangqiang remembered something and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go back to the city!" ”
"It's getting dark, maybe it's going to be dark before you get out of the secondary road, so let's go back tomorrow." By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, tomorrow we will hold an Anlong ceremony in the ancestral hall of Meixi Village, which is only once in a few years. Huang Daniu said.
Hua Qiangqiang thought for a while and said, "I still have to go back!" ”
"Why, looking at your preoccupations, are you afraid that people will say that you are involved in superstitious activities?" Huang Daniu asked with a frown.
"This ancestral hall Anlong ceremony cannot be said to be a superstitious activity, this is a folk custom, but also a traditional culture. It is appropriate to worship and commemorate ancestors and sages, and it should be the theme of this activity to educate future generations to do good deeds, unite and help each other, and strive endlessly. I really want to share this piety, happiness and excitement with everyone, but there is one thing that needs to be done quickly, so I have to leave with pain. Hua Qiangqiang said sincerely.
"It's getting dark, I'll send you out of the cottage." Huang Daniu said.
"If you send me out, won't it be darker when you come back!" Hua Qiangqiang said.
"I'm a man, and I'm used to it, and I can walk back with my eyes closed."
"Okay then."
After the two finished speaking, they got on their motorcycles.
"Secretary Qiangqiang, you are really good, you dare to ride such a narrow and difficult mountain road, there are few women in our village who dare to ride this mountain road, especially the night road!" Huang Daniu said.
"Director Huang, don't praise me, I'm already in a cold sweat now! The top priority of this return to the city is to raise money to repair this road! ”
"Secretary Qiang Qiang be careful, drive slowly! Well, it's still the old saying, if you want to get rich, you first build roads. ”
"Hmm!" Hua Qiangqiang's answer was already in a trill.
Huang Daniu didn't dare to talk to Hua Qiangqiang anymore, so he escorted her to the secondary highway before returning to the cottage.
When he got home, the first thing Huang Daniu saw was He Cuigu's tense face.
"Look at you, it's here again! Didn't you send Secretary Qiang Qiang out of this mountain road and come back later, as for throwing his face like this? Huang Daniu reproached his wife.
"Huang Da Niu, don't make excuses! Couldn't she have gone back to the city half an hour earlier, and had to wait until it got dark for you to get her out? ”
"Isn't it about work. You said that a woman from the city went down to the cottage to live a good life for all of us, isn't this touching? Sending her out of the cottage was my own volition, and I was not at ease when a woman rode a bicycle on this mountain road. Cuigu, don't think crookedly! Huang Daniu said earnestly.
"Whew!" He Cuigu sneered with her nose, and then said: "Alas, I am unlucky, I sent away the jackal and ushered in the tiger and leopard!" ”
Huang Da Niu, who had been busy all day, heard his wife's words, and suddenly felt as uncomfortable as being tightly bound by a rope, as if he couldn't breathe. He couldn't afford to quarrel with his wife anymore, and he felt that he should focus more on the work in the village. He hid in his room and lay down on the bed, he just wanted to be quiet.
Before dawn the next day, the ancestral shrine in Meixi Village was crowded inside and out, and it was very lively.
The ancestral hall is a large bungalow with a brick and wood structure with black tiles and white walls. Despite hundreds of years of ups and downs, the walls and windows are still bright. The portrait on the carved eaves is clearly visible, lifelike, and the craftsmanship is really rare. It can be seen that this ancestral hall is a symbol of the wisdom and wisdom of the ancestors of Meixi Village, and it is also the embodiment of the great nostalgia and reverence of the people of Meixi Village for their ancestors.
Most of the villagers in Meixi Village are surnamed Huang, so the big banner hanging at the gate of the ancestral hall reads: Warmly celebrate the Anlong Celebration of the Huang ancestral shrine; The upper couplet reads: Zude has a long history, and the lower couplet reads: Zonggong Shize is long.
The left wall of the ancestral hall is pasted with big red paper, which is full of personnel arrangements, such as: the director, the text, the procurement, the kitchen, the hand, the cook, and so on. On the big red paper pasted on the right wall is the merit list, the list of donations, the list of ancestral shrine Anlong personnel and so on.
There are green leaves, small flowers, and oranges hanging on both sides of the door frame of the ancestral hall, and two large red lanterns hanging above, and the open space in front of the door is also full of triangular flags.
In front of the statue of the god in the ancestral hall, there are four golden characters: Anlong Daji.
Behind the ancestral hall stands an ancient banyan tree that rises to the sky, the branches and lush leaves cast a very wide shade, like a green canopy, a giant umbrella in the sky, open in mid-air, adding infinite aura and vitality to the ancestral hall.
The celebration not only arranged cultural and entertainment programs, but also prepared a feast. It's really joyful and joyful to gather together, laugh and laugh to welcome the event.
After most of the day of the pious and sacred Anlong celebration ceremony, everyone finally ushered in the moment of a relaxed dinner and fun.
The children asked the children to gather at a table, the old man asked the old man to sit in one, and the women also crowded together.
"Everyone has worked hard today, you have to eat more vegetables and drink well!" Huang Da Niu stood in the middle of the banquet and said loudly.
Everyone laughed in response to the call of the village chief.
"Village Chief Niu, you have worked hard, come and sit here, we will toast you!"
I don't know which woman said this, which made the atmosphere of the scene more enthusiastic. In such an atmosphere, the women forgot many taboos, and they all dropped their jobs and stood up and ran to the side of the village chief.
Surrounded by the women, the village chief Niu came to the women.
"Village Chief Niu, I toast you and thank you for helping me!" Chun Tao was the first to raise his glass and toast to Village Chief Niu.
Then Zhou Yafang also sincerely raised the glass full of wine in front of Village Chief Niu: "Village Chief Niu, I also want to thank you for your help, come, toast you!" ”
Village Chief Niu unceremoniously took another drink, and then said: "Ladies, don't be too polite, it is my duty as the village chief to help you, and I hope you will bear with me and understand if there is anything missing!" ”
The women were moved by the words of the village chief, and they all rushed to toast Huang Da Niu.
At this time, Lin Yuxin found He Cuigu sitting at a table next to her, only to see her jealousy and anger on her face, Lin Yuxin sneered twice in her heart, thinking, He Cuigu made me ugly and embarrassed last time, and now the time has come to avenge one stone! So she picked up the glass as well.
Lin Yuxin twisted his waist and walked to Huang Da Niu, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said delicately: "Niuniu Village Chief, and me, come on, come on, toast you!" ”
After Lin Yuxin finished speaking, he put it on Huang Da Niu's body, and the wine glass was also sent to his mouth, and Huang Da Niu also unceremoniously put one hand on Lin Yuxin's shoulder, and then drank the wine she sent over in one gulp.
"Ahh There was a scream from among the women, followed by a "giggle" laugh.
In front of the ancestral hall, it became a sea of joy.
He Cuigu was in great pain, and soon the pain turned into anger, and she walked to the table of the women, and with a loud blow, she overturned the entire table of food on the ground.
The scene was silent, and everyone looked at He Cuigu and Village Chief Niu in astonishment.
"He Cuigu, how can you do this?" Huang Daniu reproached.
"Huang Da Niu, you hypocrite, you talk like a fart! What did you say when you knelt in front of my mother that day, why didn't you say anything about it, tell you, I don't believe you anymore, you just kneel on your knees, I won't forgive you, I want to divorce you! ”
"He Cuigu, don't force me like this!" Huang Daniu said.
"I'm forcing you? See for yourself, what do you think of being the head of this village, specializing in helping women do this and that, and you almost didn't help them wash **! ”
"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.
Huang Da Niu was extremely embarrassed, and he wished that there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.
He Cuigu forced him step by step: "Huang Da Niu, if you don't promise me to resign from this broken village chief in front of everyone today, I have to divorce you!" ”
You said that you are the head of a village, and you threaten your wife like this in front of the whole village, don't you lose face! I usually endure it again and again, but she still has to inch inch, not caring about her face at all, and even Secretary Hua Qiangqiang has become the object of her suspicion, will she still work in the future? It seems that the tiger will become a sick cat if it does not exert its power! Huang Daniu thought about it, and suddenly rushed out of his heart in one breath, only to see him pointing at He Cuigu and shouting: "He Cuigu, I will fulfill you, and I will leave tomorrow, if you don't leave, it will be a puppy!" ”
"Niuniu Village Chief, you are really good enough! Leave! Leave! Leave! I'm sticking with you! A loss may turn out to be a gain? A good horse has to be a good saddle, why don't you worry about a good man like you not being able to find a good woman! Lin Yuxin felt very happy and said with fuel on fire.
He Cuigu was extremely angry, she reached out to the other dining table and picked up a pot of vegetable soup, splashed it at Lin Yuxin, and said, "Don't be complacent, you won't die well!" ”
Lin Yuxin was about to fight back, but was hugged tightly by Zhou Yafang.
