Celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival (bonfire)
"Master, you didn't go to Yipinxuan today, you didn't see it, the zongzi are selling crazy, what kind of hunger method of yours makes those who didn't buy zongzi regret it. I shouted that I must get up early tomorrow and queue up. ”
"Master, Shopkeeper Feng asked if he wanted to increase the amount tomorrow."
"If you don't add it, you will sell it like this, and we will talk about it the day after tomorrow."
"Then let Xiao Er from the door bring back the words. As well as today's Boxing gifts, we have all delivered them to our respective homes. And the houses also returned the feasts. I'll give it to my wife. ”
"Well, let my wife take care of these things."
"Guo Yu, you go and recruit those boys and girls under the age of fifteen in our house, and let's have a whole party for five nights, so that we can also have fun."
"The party, the master, is the party."
Oh, I forgot, this is ancient and not modern, how can there be a party? You'll have to pay attention to it in the future.
"The party is like singing, but this time let's all have fun together, let's have a festival by ourselves."
"Then we won't be able to make that show."
"What nonsense, let's just have fun for ourselves, this matter must be done in secret, and let the rest of the family know about it later."
Then Yu Xin instructed the two of them to prepare all kinds of supplies and utensils. The days passed quickly in the busy, and it was the day of the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye. In the morning, the family went to ask the side to worship, and inserted wormwood on the door, drank realgar wine, ate zongzi, and wore incense and colorful threads to ward off evil spirits.
In the evening, Yu Xin had already asked people to pile up a large firewood pile in the open space outside the courtyard in the afternoon, and spread a large wheat straw shop around it, and the wheat straw was also spread with cloth sheets. In front of the straw shop, there is also a low table borrowed from each family, which is full of fruits and dried fruit snacks, and of course, rice dumplings are indispensable for the occasion.
In the afternoon, Yu Xin asked the village chief invited by the eldest head of the family, and the old people in the clan also came one after another, of course, there were also those who were not invited to come by themselves, naturally including the two demons, these two people have not left since they had lunch, Yu Xin wondered, shouldn't everyone in the city be very busy during this festival? Why are these two guys so idle?
At night, the sky was cloudless, the stars in the sky were shining brightly, and the sky was as dark and bright as if it had been washed by water. Under the starry sky, the crowds are crowded and lively, the screams of children, the sound of laughter, the adults chatting with each other warmly, and there is a sea of joy everywhere. The pyre piled up in the venue, Yuxin had already been lit and guarded by a special person.
In order to train the two elder brothers, Yu Xin made the two hosts.
"Everyone, please be quiet, our Dragon Boat Festival party in Liujiapu will start now."
"Good evening, friends, friends and elders. It's a good day, and we're all here tonight. Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, I hope everyone can have fun and eat happily today. Next, please watch the first program, the opera performed by Guo Yu and Guo Cui. ”
Today's Guo Yu and Guo Cui are dressed in pink, one in a green skirt, and a small basket is crossed between their waists, and there is no accompaniment, they only tear open their throats and sing, Qingyue's voice, cheerful dance, the two performed very seriously, and everyone watched it very happily. During this period, everyone clapped their palms for the harmony of the two, and truly participated in the audience, after all, the two performed Quyue, which is familiar to everyone present, and people will hum two sentences after work on weekdays. After the two performed, everyone applauded excitedly.
After the two finished performing, Qingfeng and Mingyue performed Yuxin's version of the monkey show again. Because there was no band accompaniment, Yuxin asked several older children in the family to play with bamboo tubes, wooden basins, pots and bowls and other daily utensils. Qingfeng and Mingyue both have kung fu, Qingfeng's face is painted with oil paint a monkey face, and Mingyue is made of paper with a pig's nose and two big ears and painted. As soon as these two people appeared, everyone laughed. Later, the lively and agile performances and the lines that came out of the mouths of the two from time to time made everyone laugh, such as, Brother Monkey, why are you chopping wood there alone, and also sent an idiot look at this fool who cuts the air with a kitchen knife. But at this time, Brother Monkey played by Qingfeng was obviously holding a kitchen knife and dancing there in an airtight practice. Another example is the Bajie played by Mingyue, Brother Monkey said, Bajie, you eat so much every day, be careful to become a pig, as soon as this sentence came out, the audience burst into laughter, Bajie was originally a pig. After a performance, everyone watched it with relish. It's very lively. Some rolled on the floor laughing with their stomachs in their hands.
"Uncle, who came up with this idea, this is too funny, I didn't expect that our own Zhuangzi could make such an interesting festival. I didn't expect that our peasant family could also watch the drama at home like the old men in the city. ”
"Yes, Brother Ma, it's all thanks to your family. If it weren't for the kindness of your family, we wouldn't be able to eat the sweet five-flavor zongzi this Dragon Boat Festival. I didn't expect that we would still be able to receive this blessing when we were old. ”
"Where, isn't this a festival, a few children in the family think we are too hard, so they found an excuse for us to be loose." Old man Ma is both modest and secretly proud, his children are capable, although this activity cost some silver, but now the family conditions are good, the family can afford to spend, but also buy people's hearts is not, you must know that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Several old people sitting closer to each other were chatting with each other during the program.
"Next show, everyone dances together."
At this time, the little girl and the young man of Yuxin's family all got off the field, dancing hand in hand around the big firewood pile in the middle, and humming the modern tune of Yuxin's teaching. In this way, everyone stopped in the middle of the night. It was a night of activity that people talked about and remembered for decades to come.
