621 Eat glutinous rice balls
Under the lighting, the Spring Festival Gala officially began.
The opening scene is a passionate drum, which immediately mobilizes the atmosphere.
Whether it was the people from the county seat or from nearby villages and towns, Gu Du looked intently at the female soldiers on the stage wearing military uniforms, ponytails flying, and sassy.
The demeanor of the girls of the Xu family army has made countless young children toss and turn, and it is unforgettable.
The drum drum sets the mood in full swing, followed by two singing and dancing performances.
The dancing girl dressed in bright colors has a graceful posture, and with the sound of the birds and birds, she unfolds a fairy flying picture in front of the people.
After the dance, the children wore uniform Confucian shirts, wore square scarves, and walked up with bamboo slips shaking their heads, looking naïve.
A crisp children's voice recited classic articles, and Zhuge Jin and the others listened very well.
Looking at the immature and innocent faces of the children, I was so excited for a while that I was almost moved to tears.
The singing and dancing recitations were performed, and the hosts Wen Qing and Jun Mei appeared on the stage.
Also on the stage were the invited governor of Ji, Su Ci, and the leader Xu Yue.
Without a word of nonsense, the two offered New Year's greetings to the audience, retired from the stage, sat in the audience, and became loyal spectators, watching the next performance carefully.
"It's so lively." Zhang smiled and sighed sideways to her husband.
Sima Yi held his son up and asked him to sit on his shoulder, so that he could watch the performance on stage, nodded and said with a smile:
"It's getting more and more lively every year."
"Daddy, look!" Sima Zhao on his shoulder patted his father's head excitedly, and his legs were cocked excitedly.
Sima Yi didn't notice it, and was almost turned over by this kid.
Fortunately, he grabbed the kid's two thighs in time, and he barely managed to maintain his balance.
"Don't move, your legs will be broken if you fall!" Sima Yi warned in a deep voice.
Sima Zhao immediately didn't dare to move, but his little finger still couldn't control his father's scalp, and said excitedly:
"The monkey jumped into the ring of fire!"
On stage, the animal trainer of the drama troupe is instructing the monkeys to perform.
In the past, almost no people watched such a show, and adults watched it with relish, not to mention children who were naturally curious about small animals.
The school field was full of children's excited laughter, and the cries of "monkeys" and "monkeys" were endless.
Sima Yi turned his head and looked at his eyebrows with a smile, looking at his wife who couldn't take his eyes off him, listening to his son's happy smile on the top of his head, his eyebrows unconsciously softened, and the corners of his mouth raised a gentle smile.
It's been a long time since he's been so happy with his wife and children.
At this moment, people forgot their troubles, and their moods rose and fell with the performance on stage, bursting into bursts of "haha" laughter.
After the monkeys finished the performance, they followed the animal trainer off the stage, and some children cried and shouted for the monkeys.
Sima Yi looked up with his eyes, and the kid above his head was fine, only sighing, still unfinished.
"It's rare to see Zishang so lively, he is like you, like a little adult, one and a little one, I was afraid that he would be sick, and now I can be relieved to see him like this." Zhang leaned into her husband's ear and bit her mouth gently.
When Sima Yi heard this, he rubbed his son on his shoulder, "When spring begins, how about Daddy send his son to the school?" ”
"Come with your sister and go to Xujiazhuang."
Sima Zhao of the general school is not interested, and some of the family are taught by Confucianism.
But if it's a school in Xujiazhuang......
"Do they want me?"
The little guy is not very old, his brows are furrowed, and he reveals the bitterness and hatred that his mother is most worried about on weekdays.
It's not a good thing for a child to be too premature. Sima Yi complained in his heart.
At the same time, I remembered what Xu Yue told him - please give the child a complete childhood!
"Look at your ability, go back and get you a few sets of admission exam papers, how about we practice first?" Sima Yi discussed with his son.
Eight-year-old Sima Zhao has not yet had the experience of doing winter vacation homework, so he thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Sima Yi smiled with satisfaction, his son is doing well!
At the same time, the school is on the other side.
Ma Chao and his wife are standing on the outskirts of the school with a pair of children.
Because Ma Chao still has official business to deal with, they came late.
There is no way, I can't squeeze in inside, so I can only learn from those villagers on the periphery, stepping on the small bench that comes with me.
Fortunately, the order of the school grounds is well managed, and they can still see the performances on the stage.
Ma Yu's sister and brother looked at the sketch show on the stage, and laughed from ear to ear.
It was also the first time for Mrs. Ma to see such a singing and dancing banquet celebrating with the people, and she was deeply shocked in her heart, and the whole person looked very sluggish.
But Ma Chao knew that his wife was fascinated.
This lively Jizhou is many times more prosperous than they are in Xiliang.
Ma Chao was unintentional on the show, and his eyes were full of thoughts about the desolate Gobi Desert in Liangzhou, as well as the numb and desperate eyes of the people.
Now that he has taken the division for Xu Jiajun and merged with Yanzhou Shanyang County, it is time for Wang Pingping and Xu Qingyang to fulfill the promise they made that day.
Restoring the Hexi Corridor is the goal that generations of Ma family people have worked hard for.
It's a pity that the Qingguo is weakening, coupled with years of disasters and man-made disasters, how difficult is it to recapture the Hexi Corridor from the Xiongnu?
Ma Chao still remembers that when he was a child, his grandfather talked to him about how prosperous the Hexi Corridor was in the past, and how the people of Liangzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, and smiled.
The young people thought that if they could restore the former prosperity of Liangzhou in this life, it would be a great merit.
If you want to be strong, you have to be unified.
Only by concentrating on strength can we do great things.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao looked at the woman sitting in the audience applauding the performers, and his eyes became more and more determined.
The Spring Festival Gala lasted from seven o'clock in the afternoon until half past ten.
The night was already very dark, and people were still unsatisfied, so they stopped in the school yard and were reluctant to leave for a long time.
It wasn't until Junmei stood up and said with a smile that there would be such a party in the future, and people were willing to retreat.
The lights on the school grounds were turned on overnight to light up the night path for people returning home.
At half past twelve in the evening, after the last person left the school grounds, Xu Yue's family led the twins who were so excited that they didn't feel sleepy at all to go home.
"Daniel, don't be left behind!" Xu reminded with a smile.
Daniel, who was humming the tune of the show, was excited, stopped his tune, and hurriedly walked two steps to keep up.
The night was quiet and gentle
Back home, the family did not rest immediately.
Xu Yue and Xu Erniang rolled up their sleeves and went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of rice balls for everyone in the family.
This food is no longer fresh, and after it passed out of Xu Yue's hands, there were many more vendors on the street who specialized in selling dumplings and rice balls.
The rice balls without fillings are white and jade-colored, and they are served in the sugar water sprinkled with sugar, sweet and glutinous, except for Wang Pingping and Xu Yue, who don't like sweetness very much, there is not a single rice ball left in the bowl of the others.
After eating the reunion dumplings and meditating for a while, the family rested with good expectations for the New Year.
