In Meixi Village, the most dazzling, lively and grand place for the Chinese New Year is the ancestral hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info you see, the gate, the side door are posted with red couplets, but also hung red lanterns, small red lanterns, the ancestral hall fluttering in the sky with countless colored flags. People come in and out of the ancestral hall, the incense never stops, the sound of firecrackers is endless, and the red confetti spreads a large open space in front of the ancestral hall door tightly, and at a glance, it is really a red carpet.

During the Chinese New Year this year, while worshipping, admiring, and remembering the ancestors and sages, people did not forget their village chief Huang Daniu. In order to thank the village chief Niu for his diligence and hard work and contribution to the village, someone has taken the initiative to come to his house to help clean up and prepare New Year's goods since the beginning of the year. Every day, the villagers brought the rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes made by themselves to his house, and everyone said, Niu Village Chief gave up his small family to take care of everyone, and we should also worship him as a god.

Huang Da Niu's home has become another of the most beautiful scenery outside the ancestral hall, which really moved Huang Da Niu, he thought, or the old mother's words are true, although the village chief is tired, but someone is worried about it! Hearing that Lin Yuxin's husband Mo Shen and Li Chuntao's husband Xu Huainian were going to join forces to invite him to eat and drink at home, this made him even more overjoyed. You said that it is common for brothers in the village to get together for a drink and greet each other during the New Year, but this is only a coincidence, and it is the first time that a special banquet is set up to invite them to the house for dinner and drink. Huang Daniu was happy and did not forget to carry a stack of red envelopes in his pocket, and he wanted to give red envelopes to the elderly and children during the Chinese New Year.

Huang Da Niu walked to the place where the banquet was held to entertain him - Lin Yuxin's home.

As soon as Huang Daniu arrived at the gate of Lin Yuxin's house, Lin Yuxin, Li Chuntao, Mo Shen, and Xu Huainian were already waiting in the hall, but their expressions were a little solemn.

The dining table in the hall is full of dishes, including chicken, duck and fish, as well as a variety of ingredients for hot pot. The hot pot was already playing, and the soup in the pot was bubbling, steaming.

"Oh, that's a lot of money!" Huang Da Niu said as he clasped his hands into fists and congratulated everyone: "Happy New Year!" Happy New Year! ”

Everyone also hugged their fists together and offered their best New Year's wishes.

Huang Da Niu took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to Lin Yuxin's son Dongdong and Li Chuntao's son Guo'er, who were playing on the side.

Adults scrambled to teach the children, "Thank you, Uncle Niu!" "Happy New Year to Uncle Niu!" and other words.

Dongdong was very happy with the red envelope, and said vigorously: "Thank you, Uncle Niu!" Happy New Year to Uncle Niu! ”

Although Guo'er had just learned to speak for a short time, when she saw Brother Dongdong say this, she also followed his words and babbled to Huang Da Niu and said, "New, New, Happy, Happy!" ”

"Hahaha......" Suddenly the whole house was filled with happiness.

Huang Da Niu picked up the fruit, kissed the child's fleshy little face, and said, "Yo, Guo'er, it's a little weighty!" And he can talk, eh, you said that the last time I was sent to the health center in the middle of the night to see a doctor, I was a little older, I can walk and talk in the blink of an eye, and the time flies fast enough! ”

At this time, Xu Huainian walked over and hugged his son from Huang Daniu's arms, and said gratefully: "Village Chief Niu, you are the village chief who works hard enough, not only to take care of the affairs of the village, but also to worry about the child's illness, I really don't know how to thank you!" ”

Huang Daniu smiled disappreciatively: "Aren't they all villagers in the same village, not to mention being the village head, even if you are not the village head, you should also help with this!" Huang Da Niu then looked at Xu Huainian and Mo Shen, and said angrily: "I remember that when I was a child, you all called me Brother Da Niu, why did you go out to work for a few years and become a student, and you changed your name to the village chief?" ”

Xu Huainian said: "No, aren't you the village head, everyone calls it that, so don't we call it the same!" In this way, we can call you whatever you like. ”

Huang Da Niu said happily: "It's better to call it whatever you like!" ”

There was a sudden relaxation among everyone.

Mo Shen pulled Huang Da Niu to the table and said, "Brother Niu Village Chief, let's talk while eating!" ”

Huang Daniu swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Don't say it, I'm really going to be hungry." ”

Yu Xin said with a smile: "Everyone is full of festivals, but the village chief Niu is going to be hungry, it seems that the village chief Niu can't be idle for the New Year!" ”

Huang Daniu said: "Yuxin, you're right, I went to the construction site today, alas, if you don't go, you can't stop as soon as you go, and you haven't just come back." ”

After listening to Huang Daniu's words, everyone couldn't help but admire and respect.

Yuxin grabbed two big chicken legs, one for Dongdong and one for Guo'er, and let the children play while gnawing on the chicken legs, and the five adults began to chat while enjoying a delicious meal.

Mo couldn't help but say affectionately: "Alas, you said that we grew up together in this mountain village since childhood, picked wild fruits to eat in the cottage together, and touched small fish in the creek together, so we are like brothers." But in the last ten years, I went out to work, and I can only come back for the New Year, and the time is just ten days and a half months, I come back in a hurry, and I leave in a hurry, and sometimes I can't even see each other, it's really a little raw! ”

Everyone agreed.

Yu Xin picked up the wine and poured it for everyone, and said: "Don't just talk, come, eat, drink, drink a few glasses during the New Year, and have a good time!" ”

Mo Shen said movingly: "You have done a lot of tangible things for everyone in less than two years in office, especially in the last half a year, you have changed the appearance of the village, let us see hope, everyone has a scale in their hearts, you can weigh the weight, you are a well-deserved good village chief, come, we all come to toast you!" ”

Xu Huainian also said meaningfully: "At the same time, I would like to give you a glass to your care for our family!" ”

It is said that drinking alcohol can dispel rheumatism and strengthen muscles and bones, so people in the mountains are accustomed to drinking alcohol. Although they love to drink, they don't have a cup to drink, they all use a bowl to hold wine, maybe this way to drink is more refreshing and enjoyable.

Lin Yuxin prepared a cup today, but it was just a teacup that she usually used. Although this teacup is not the largest one, it can fill a glass of wine, at least four taels or more.

Mo Shen stood up and respectfully stretched out the cup full of wine in front of Huang Da Niu.

Xu Huainian, Lin Yuxin, and Li Chuntao also stood up, raised their wine glasses in front of Huang Da Niu and said, "Village Chief Niu toasts you!" ”

Everyone touched their glasses, and then drank the wine in one gulp, no one was choked, no one frowned, it was like drinking boiled water, even Yuxin and Chun Tao were no exception.

Huang Da Niu laughed out loud and said, "Refreshing! Mo Shen, Huai Nian, you have been working for so many years, and your drinking skills have not changed at all, so good! ”

"It is said that the countryside is difficult to leave, the local pronunciation is difficult to change, and we mountain people cannot lose their drinking skills. In fact, when we work outside, we often buy alcohol to drink, but this wine is a little bitter! Mo Shen suddenly became a little sad.

"Huh!" Huang Daniu sighed and said: "I also went out to work before I got married, although the time is not as long as yours, but I have also tasted the loneliness and sorrow of being uprooted from home and wandering!" Brothers, in a few months, the tourism industry of our Meixi Village will be opened, welcome all wanderers to return to their hometowns and seek common development, you should come back too, we will do it together! ”

Huang Da Niu's words reached the hearts of several people present, they all looked at each other, smiled, and scrambled to toast the village chief Niu.

Mo Shen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said heavily: "Village Chief Niu, since you say so, I don't have to hide it, and I can also say what I want to say." ”

"Just say it." Huang Da Niu said briskly.

"Village Chief Niu, you know that in Meixi Village, the surname Huang is the most, and even the big words 'Huang's ancestral hall' are written on the door of the ancestral hall, and this job is ......," Mo Shen said in a slurred voice.

"Brother Mo Shen, are you worried that I, Huang Daniu, will give up a good job to the villagers surnamed Huang after the completion of the tourist village? In fact, you don't know the history of Meixi Village, you should take a look at the "Meixi Village Chronicle", which records the origin of Meixi Village in great detail. After a long time, it developed into a small village, and the descendants established the ancestral hall in the village in order to commemorate their ancestors, and naturally the plaque hanging in front of the ancestral hall reads 'Huang's ancestral hall', because there was no other surname at that time. With the social turmoil, more people came in to take refuge, so there were people with surnames such as Xu and Mo who dragged their children into the cottage to take refuge. For more than 200 years, several mountain people with surnames have never fought over anything, everyone respects each other like guests, and life is very peaceful and peaceful. When I tell you about this today, you must have guessed my good intentions, right? I Huang Da Niu will never betray the benevolence and kindness of my ancestors, and will inherit their fine tradition of kindness, solidarity and mutual assistance, and common progress, and strive to promote the unity of the village, only in this way can we better develop the economy and let the whole village live a happy life! Xu Decai entangled some people to come out to stir up trouble, causing contradictions and concerns between everyone, and disturbing people's hearts, now everything is in the daylight, everyone can no longer believe in him! ”

Mo Shen, Xu Huainian, Lin Yuxin, and Li Chuntao all felt extremely ashamed when they heard the words of the village chief Huang Daniu, and Xu Huainian said angrily: "This Xu Decai is too hateful, and the face of our family surnamed Xu has been lost by him!" ”

Huang Daniu said: "Brother Huainian, don't be angry, Xu Decai is Xu Decai, you are you, and you will never affect your future because of him." ”

Mo Shen asked again: "So, does Village Chief Niu really want to arrange the jobs of the tourism project in Meixi Village objectively and fairly?" ”

"Of course, when the time comes, there will be open competition, whoever can answer the examiner's questions will be able to pass the test, and everyone will have to work hard!" Huang Da Niu said seriously.

Mo Shen, Lin Yuxin, Xu Huainian, and Li Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were relieved, and they toasted and sent food to Village Chief Niu again.

Mo Shen said: "Village Chief Niu, you are like a fire in winter, the flame warms our hearts!" ”

Xu Huainian also said: "Yes, now our hearts are bright!" As long as we have something to do at home and can support our family, we are all willing to stay at home! ”

Mo Shen also said with emotion: "When I was working in Guangdong, I knew a friend, I asked him where he was from, but he sang the song "Olive Tree" full of wandering, but the lyrics were changed, and it sounded more desolate and vicissitudes! He sang, 'Don't ask me where I'm from, because I don't have a ...... from my hometown," and he later told me that his village had been evacuated from the city because of the government's urbanization of the countryside. Alas, to be honest, I still like to live in the countryside, like to live in the mountains and countryside, or we are so wow, the village is far away from the city, and it is remote, so that it will never be swallowed up by the city! ”

Huang Da Niu nodded and said, "Mo Shen, you tell us what is in our hearts!" ”

The four of them suddenly looked at each other with big eyes, and then said in unison: "So Village Chief Niu, you have to give us a job!" ”

"So you invited me to dinner just for work? The drunkard doesn't mean to drink! Huang Da Niu deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened and shouted.

The four of them said in unison: "Although we are a little selfish, we really invite you to dinner!" ”

"Hahaha...... "It's all happy."
