Chapter 225: Carnival Night
Not long after the three sons of the old village chief went out, it began to be lively outside. Many people sharpened their knives and piled up a lot of firewood on a vast flat field, and the women set up the field, while the men did the rough work in preparation for the evening party.
Although they didn't know the news of returning to China, they only thought that the old village chief was holding a party for the young man from China. They are also happy about this, this kind of opportunity for the whole village to carnival together only once a year, and they also miss it, no matter what the reason is, just be happy. Especially children, their favorite is this time, some eat and some play, I can't wait to be like this every day.
Gradually, night fell, and the party also entered the prelude. At this time, I saw men, women and children gathered in the main square, and dozens of fires were burning enthusiastically. Cattle and sheep are often roasted on top of the fire, and snacks and barrels of spirits are placed next to them, and everyone gathers in a circle. Hong Tianbao felt quite fresh for the first time, and it felt quite national.
The old village chief pulled Hong Tianbao to a fire in the middle, Hong Tianbao was the protagonist tonight, so he naturally got the middle. In previous years, it was a podium for the village's respected elders. I saw a wooden pole erected next to it, and three horns hung on the wooden pole, spreading out in all directions.
The old village chief, who was dozens of years old, could also see that Hong Tianbao was full of interest, and asked with a smile: "Tianbao, is it the first time to participate in these activities?" ”
Hong Tianbao nodded, he had never been able to travel on the seaside because of his family, and he had no chance to contact these activities at all. In his impression, this kind of nationwide mobilization only occurs in the southwest ethnic minorities. In fact, he was wrong in this idea, in China, there are many activities in which the whole people participate, such as temple fairs in rural areas in the south. They make it bigger, and it's usually held every three years, so it's going to be very grand.
The old village chief stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet, it seemed that this old man was still quite prestigious, and everyone calmed down very face-savingly. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then spoke solemnly:
"Maybe everyone wonders why this party is happening. There may also be speculation that this young man from China is next to me. But I tell you now, not for him, but for us, for the fulfillment of the wishes of our generations. Now tell me aloud, what is your greatest desire? ”
After the old village chief finished asking, his eyes scanned the audience. At this moment, the entire people in the main square held their breath, and time stopped at this moment, as if the expressions on everyone's faces were frozen. Then, a childish voice came.
"Return to the Motherland!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole scene boiled, and the scene got out of control for a while. Almost everyone shouted: "Return to the Motherland!" Return to the motherland......"
The old village chief made a quiet gesture again, and then said, "Very good! Now our wish will soon come true, it is this young man next to me, who is also the benefactor of all of us, who has given us the opportunity. He has already made contact with the motherland, and someone will pick us up soon. Now let us all give him the deepest bow to show our gratitude to him. ”
After speaking, the old village chief took the lead and bowed to Hong Tianbao. For a time, thousands of people in the main square saluted Hong Tianbao. Hong Tianbao suddenly felt unbearable, and hurriedly helped up a few old people around him and said: "Don't be like this, everyone, I'm just doing it, this time the main help is the director of the Motherland Museum." He just called, and tomorrow the embassy envoy will come to discuss the relocation, so everyone should be prepared. ”
Hearing Hong Tianbao's words, everyone was in a carnival, the news came too suddenly, making them feel that happiness came suddenly. The next thing is the carnival, many boys and girls sing and dance, and many people come to toast Hong Tianbao, he naturally does not refuse to come, anyway, drinking is not much different from drinking water now.
At the instigation of others, Bai Zhenhui invited Hong Tianbao to dance. Hong Tianbao's scalp immediately exploded, and he said embarrassedly: "Hehe! I'm sorry! I can't dance. ”
And Bai Zhenhui, who has always been timid, was also bold once, regardless of Hong Tianbao's quibbles, and took Hong Tianbao's hand and went to the dance forest. Bai Zhenhui didn't expect that Hong Tianbao really couldn't dance, and his movements were stiff, not like pretending.
"You really can't dance?"
Hong Tianbao smiled bitterly, it's okay to let him fight, dancing is not his forte. And when he comes into contact with girls, he will be flustered, otherwise with his current ability, with a little attention, he will soon be able to learn.
"What are you lying to! I've never been to a party, let alone danced. Bai Zhenhui's unique virgin aura reached Hong Tianbao's nose, and he felt even more unbearable. In addition, the girl is now dressed a little thinly, and when you get closer, you can see the looming cleavage. Although Hong Tianbao cultivates, he is also a normal man, and it is self-deception to say that he is not affected. It's the same as getting along with Chu Yawen that time, of course, it's not as glamorous as that time.
But Bai Zhenhui was very interested, and found that Hong Tianbao was actually more innocent than him, which is really rare. She deliberately leaned in, and Hong Tianbao was almost scared to death by her. Bai Zhenhui suddenly giggled, Hong Tianbao was magnificent, and secretly scolded himself for not having the courage to do so. No matter how you say this, it's not that you are at a loss, what are you afraid of?
"By the way, Brother Hong, what do you do? I think you're supposed to graduate, right? Bai Zhenhui asked curiously with a wink.
"Huh! I graduated a long time ago. Curio? Ever heard of it? It is to identify antique treasures. Hong Tianbao explained simply.
Bai Zhenhui secretly said in his heart No wonder, no wonder he could see the treasure in his uncle's house.
"Oh! After returning to China, I don't know what to do with my studies, and I don't know if the universities in my country will take me in. Bai Zhenhui suddenly said bitterly, it is a good thing to return to China, but I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and I really don't want to waste my school halfway.
Hong Tianbao smiled slightly, and secretly said that this may be one of the reasons why this girl is so bold to find herself tonight, right? He learned from others that there were only three people in this village who went to college, and the girl was the only one in front of him. It can be seen that this girl also really wants to study, although I don't know what her grades are, but it is very simple to help her find a school in China.
"Don't worry, someone will help you get it out. However, there is a big difference between education in China and abroad, so you have to be mentally prepared to adapt. "Hong Tianbao is not a bad person, and he will not tell this girl who is full of hope for the future that the employment situation in China is not objective. At that time, he was forced to come by employment.
After jumping around for a while, Hong Tianbao really didn't want to be embarrassed, so he confessed to Bai Zhenhui, and then walked back to eat and drink. These people are also enthusiastic about Hong Tianbao, and they didn't bother just now. Now seeing Hong Tianbao running back, he didn't let him eat and drink alone, and a group of people immediately surrounded him.
