The drumming and passing of flowers began again, and the drums were pounding. The more people play, the more fun they get. The group program has ended, but at every table where the red flowers fall, there are people who volunteer to stand up and perform the show. The show was very exciting, leading to cheers and applause.

The drum stopped, and this time, the red flower stopped on Zhuang Xiaochu's table again. Zhuang Xiaochu just wanted to stand up, but Chunxi stood up first. Chunxi said loudly: "I played a tune just now, now please ask the eldest sister to give us a show, okay?"

There was an unreasonable person at the bottom who shouted, "Okay." There was a loud coax that didn't think it was too loud to see the excitement: "Seventh lady, come one, seven lady, come one." ”

Xiao Qi has never performed in a show, because she has no talent, since she left her hometown at the age of seven or eight, she has basically been busy with life, and no one has taught her any talent that can show her hands.

Xiao Qi made a difficulty, sat uneasy, and didn't know what to say. Mrs. Sun saw it and knew that Chunxi wanted to compare Xiao Qi to him. Mrs. Sun stood up and said, "I'm Xiao Qi's sister, I'll put on a show for her." Xiao Qi cast a grateful glance at her.

Mrs. Sun is not only the wife of the county magistrate and the wife of the governor, she is the person who sent real money when she was short of money to buy food, and her weight was heavy enough. As soon as she spoke, the people below stopped squeaking.

Mrs. Sun calmly took out a flute from her sleeve, which was all turquoise, and she didn't know what material it was made of. I saw her put the flute close to her lips, her red lips opened slightly, and she spit out pandan, and the flute sounded melodiously.

The flute is melodious and graceful, and there is a sadness in the melody. It penetrates into the heart, making people unconsciously follow the melody into a sad past, people think of the hardships and dangers of the disaster, the bitterness of the past, and the distant hometown......

People were immersed in weeping dreams, some old people shed tears first, then older people, and finally those hairy young men who were not afraid of heaven and earth, everyone listened to tears and couldn't help themselves.

At the end, the flute sounded like a stormy wave, like a fast horse whipping, like a storm, everyone felt as if their hearts were being washed by fate and washed by time.

Even the playful children listened to it motionless, and time seemed to stand still.

The flute ended. For a while, people didn't come out of their minds. I felt that the sound of the flute was still far and near in my ears.

Mrs. Sun said: "I'm really sorry, this piece is a bit sad and spoils everyone's mood." Only then did people react, and the applause was like a tidal wave, up and down, and it did not go away.

Zhuang Xiaochu said with tears in his eyes: "I have never heard Mrs. Sun play the flute, today's song is really a divine comedy, this song should only exist in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world." ”

The brothers also said that today's song is really a divine comedy. I have ears blessed, this divine comedy, * is estimated to be two hundred years before and after, and it is difficult to find a surpass.

Mrs. Sun said modestly: "It's not that I am superb in flute skills, but really good in flute, this flute is a jade flute that is rare in the ages, and I am fortunate to get it." ”

The night was late, the sky was cold, the old man and the children were a little sleepy, Zhuang Xiaochu ordered to clean up the yard and rest separately. Zhuang Xiaochu called Qingmei and his buddies and ordered Chunxi to be sent home safely.

Chunxi asked: "Owner, isn't it tomorrow in the morning to worship?" Zhuang Bichu said: "It's enough to have me and Xiaoqi tomorrow, I told your father and mother, you can accompany them tomorrow." Chunxi went home awkwardly.

Early the next morning, Zhuang Xiaochu and Xiao Qi freshened up and came to the temple with the old man.

The hexagram that falls out is signed. Several people were very happy, and Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Old man, you said some time ago that it would be peaceful for ten years, how did you know it in advance?"

The old gentleman touched his long, silver-white and reflective beard and said, "If there is a natural disaster, if it is a small disaster, the small disaster will last for three consecutive years." In the case of a catastrophe, it will be peaceful for about ten years after the catastrophe. It's not that I'll calculate it in advance, it's always been like this. ”

He said again: "I guess God doesn't want to kill them all, so let's leave ten years so that the people can recuperate." ”

On the first day of the new year, everyone was dressed beautifully and happily eating, drinking and having fun in the village. There are those who play cards together, and there are those who play chess together......

The owner and the county magistrate Sun will play, they and about 20 brothers caught a chicken, separated two runways on the ground with a board, put some rice at one end of the runway, put the chicken in, and see whose chicken runs fast. Whoever eats the rice first wins.

Some chickens were so stupid that they didn't run, so they used small branches to pick their tail feathers, and the chickens were frightened, and suddenly ran forward and flew away.

Some chickens are not hungry, and when they reach the end of the runway, they just don't eat rice. People are so anxious that they can't wait to catch the mouth of the Misse chicken.

The children watched the excitement and screamed louder than the adults. Cheers, screams, chicken cries, one after another.

Lai's second daughter-in-law came out and screamed twice after a while: "My chickens, my chickens have scared you stupid." ”

After a while, he came out and shouted: "My chicken, my chicken must not grow meat for a few days." ”

Then he came out and cried, "My chickens, my chickens are going to tire you to death!"

The crowd couldn't stop laughing. Xiao Qi asked Lai's second daughter-in-law: "What are you raising chickens for?"

Lai's second daughter-in-law said: "Of course, I raised it and had meat for the brothers in the village to eat." ”

Xiao Qi said: "Look at them, take a good look, do you think they are happy to race chickens, or will they be happy to eat a few pieces of chicken in the future?"

Lai's second daughter-in-law thought about it, it made sense, and sure enough, the owner's wife understood, so she didn't go out to yell at her chickens anymore, and worked in the kitchen with peace of mind.

County Magistrate Sun and Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Brother, you are still comfortable, free, unrestrained, without hypocrisy, and without so much red tape. Stay in the village for a day, and let me stay in the state for a year. ”

And he said, "Don't talk about me, even my wife and my son are all thinking of the village." ”

On the fifth day of the new year, the county magistrate Sun's family was going back to pay New Year's greetings to his father-in-law's house. Wen Lan didn't want to leave, he just wanted to stay in the village and be with Huaying, where there were many playmates, many people were lively, and the place to play was big enough. was picked up in the car by his nurse.

Zhuang Xiaochu prepared some special products for County Magistrate Sun's father-in-law. Load the things into the car one by one. After loading the car and about to leave, Xiao Qi said to Mrs. Sun: "Sister, there is a box in the items that have just been loaded into the carriage, which is filled with silver taels to return to you, Zhuang Xiaochu and I know that you are going to push back, so we will sue you when we put it away, and you will send someone to take it out when you go back." ”

Mrs. Sun wanted to get out of the car and let the box of silver be brought down. The carriage Zhuang Xiaochu let the groom have already hurried away. I have no choice but to give up.

Xiao Qi said: "Sister, it is appropriate to pay back the money you owe." Huazizhuang is rich now, can make money, and should repay its debts. You gave us money in our most difficult time, and we will never forget this friendship. ”

said in advance that they would spend the Lantern Festival together, so the two made an appointment for the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Sun prepared the lantern riddle Xiaoqi prepared the riddle prize, and the two said goodbye.
