According to national regulations, the meteorological stations of various capitals, provinces, prefectures, counties, and cities will conduct long-term "biological seasonal observations" on the days when plum blossoms, apricot blossoms, cherry blossoms, etc., maple trees, ginkgo biloba, etc., and birdsong days where you can hear the chirping of yellow warblers and chickadees, and then gather the data in the General Administration of Meteorology, which will then connect the places of flowering, leaf red, and birdsong on the same day into a line on the map, and release them as the "XX frontline".

This activity began in 1925 and has a history of nearly 70 years, and one of the most popular activities is the "Sakura Front", which is actively reported by newspapers and television stations every year, starting in Okinawa in mid-to-late January, passing through the Kanto region in late March, the Tohoku region in early April, and ending in northern Hokkaido in early to mid-May.

Today is the day when the "cherry blossom frontline" arrives in Hirano, that is, the "flower day" of the Hirano cherry blossoms, which means that spring is finally coming slowly, although it is not too late.

But spring is the best time to sleep, it is the most suitable time for lazy sleep in the four seasons of the year, when Kiyomi Ruri's alarm clock rang, the genius was bright, she hummed and twisted on the bed for a while without thinking about it, almost fell asleep again, and finally rolled out of bed with great perseverance, sat on the floor in a daze, and barely woke up.

Four pounds of fat in half a month, nearly 100 pounds a year, it is impossible to die of fat, her ideal is to become a smart and elegant woman like Miss Liulimoss, before that, she will be a cute and beautiful girl like a Tibetan fox, and she will definitely not accept that she will become a glass ball, so since she can't control her mouth, she has to work hard.

She yawned and changed into sportswear, tied a sandbag, tied her hair up and went out for a run, jogged three times around the town, and then returned to her backyard after sweating on her forehead, and began to practice Tang Hands in the morning sun, put on iron clogs and repeatedly kicked and struck, and finally fell down on the backyard corridor and did not move.

It's over, I haven't exercised so much for more than a year, and after practicing, people are sour and numb, and I really paid an extremely heavy price for gnawing a few pig's trotters.

Kiyomi Kako stretched out her head and glanced at her, and when she saw that she could still breathe, she didn't care about her, she went to make breakfast by herself, and when breakfast was ready, she went to the bathroom to drag her out, helped her put on beautiful clothes, and combed her hair - although the small pattern Wu costume is a kind of daily Wu costume, it is still difficult for a novice like Kiyomi Ruri to put it on herself, and someone must help.

When everything was ready, Kiyomi Kako took her little daughter who was noisy and wanted beautiful clothes and left, and asked the eldest daughter to wait for the time to go to Takeshi Nanahara and the young man to play by himself.

Kiyomi Ruri didn't feel a little relieved when she wilted at home until more than nine o'clock, but she still had some weak legs like noodles, and at this time there were more pedestrians on the street, and they were all interested in traveling together, so she went out to find Takeshi Nanahara.

She shouted on the first floor for a long time before Qiyuan Wu came down, and when she came down, she said with a black face: "What are you crazy about early in the morning?" ”

Kiyomi Ruri was also dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that you would go to the Hanami Festival together?" Why do you get up so late, and are you deaf, I've been calling you for a long time! ”

Nanahara Takeshi reacted, last night he said that it was right to go shopping together today, but he slept too soundly in his special bed, which is equivalent to a soundproof coffin, and forgot about it.

Realizing that he was wrong, he immediately laughed like a gray wolf, as if nothing had happened just now, and said softly: "No wonder you are dressed so beautifully today." ”

Kiyomi Liuli is indeed very beautiful today, and the overall blue and small pattern Wu costume makes her look very delicate and gentle, but the fine peony buds on it can make people's eyes shine, and it looks like there is a hint of liveliness. The hair is simply coiled up, revealing a slender and white neck, and the hair around the ears hangs down to modify the face shape, which can give a 90-point appearance +2, plus a small silk peony is obliquely inserted into the bun to draw the finishing touch, which is almost perfect.

Especially when she was suddenly praised, now her little face is slightly red, and she lowers her head, which is really a bit of what Xu Zhimo said - the most is the gentleness of bowing her head, like a water lotus flower that is not shy.

Kiyomi Ruri is really happy, this outfit is troublesome to wear, and it took almost an hour to even comb his hair and change clothes, but even a super picky guy like Takeshi Nanahara can boast about being beautiful, it must be really beautiful, and it didn't take so much time in vain.

She was happy in her heart, bowed her head and pretended to be a lady there, but she couldn't help but shake the small handbag in the shape of a brocade bag like a small windmill in her hand, and after a while, she found that Nanahara Wu praised a sentence and did not move, looked up, and found that his eyes were falling on the "little windmill", so she reacted, and hurriedly put the sleeves of her hands, only revealing a white and tender fingertip, gently pinching the small handbag, and placing it in front of her lower abdomen.

Yes, a lady should hold a small handbag like this, not throw it around.

Hmph, it's perfect!

Nanahara Wu was speechless, this Tibetan fox can be beautiful for two minutes, and the fox tail must be exposed after two minutes, but he didn't say anything more, anyway, he fooled his unreasonable things, went directly to wash, and set off to visit the festival without eating breakfast and experience folk customs.

Kiyomi Ruri followed him out of the door, stepping on the small clogs "clicking", and happily pointed into the distance: "The festival is in the park over there, where there are more than 200 cherry blossom trees, and they are beautiful every year. ”

Nanahara Wu glanced twice, and found that the pedestrians on the street were basically heading in that direction, and couldn't help but be more interested: "Then let's hurry up too." ”

He still prefers to join in the fun, and rushed to this small promenade park with the flow of people with Kiyomi Ruri, and the spring festival is actually a temple fair, there are already many small stalls here, and there are two neat rows in the small square at the entrance of the park, from playing, using to eating, for people to have a pastime after visiting.

At the end of the square, there is also a "performance" performed by some elderly residents who volunteer to perform for free, and the "Spring Festival" is being held, where drums are beaten, trumpets are shouted, and an old man dressed in priest's costumes, accompanied by two shrine maidens, divination is made by the size and color of the cherry blossom petals to determine whether this year will be a good year or a famine.

There were a lot of people gathered here, all looking at it with smiles on their faces, and the priest ...... I don't know if it's a real priest, put the cherry blossom petals in a shallow bowl filled with water and shook it for a while, and then excitedly announced to the people around him that this year is a good year, Dafeng is especially abundant, sows give birth, old cows give birth, sheep are full of rice baskets, fish are endless, people are prosperous, everything goes smoothly, and the good ones can't be better!

The acting skills are quite good, and the chicken legs should be added to the dinner, and the surrounding onlookers also applauded together, and everyone smiled. Kiyomi Ruri was also very happy to see it with his small handbag, and said to Nanahara Takeraku: "This year is another good year, and it has been a good year for eleven consecutive years." ”

Nanahara Takeshi also applauded, but couldn't help but laugh and said, "It turns out that you fell into the river here twelve years ago." ”

Kiyomi Ruri was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”

"You are such a lively character, if you don't fall into the water and get sick and can't go out, how can you not come." Nanahara Wu said with a smile, "You obviously didn't watch the Spring Festival twelve years ago, how can this kind of performance divinate the famine year, it must require a good mouthpiece, it must be Dafeng Tefeng, so even if it is held for fifty years, it will be fifty years of continuous abundance, and it is impossible to break in the middle." ”

It seems to make some sense, but Kiyomi Ruri was unconvinced: "This is a folk custom, if it is said to be a good year every year, then what's the point of holding this kind of activity?" Are you just looking for psychological comfort? It must be judged before you can draw conclusions, it is possible to have a famine year divination, how can it be the same for fifty years. ”

At this time, the divination activity has ended, and the kagura dance has been changed, and the local residents have begun to pat the ghosts and gods again, paying special protection fees, hoping that the ghosts and gods will continue to take care of them this year.

Qiyuan Wu pulled her to see the cherry blossoms, and said with a smile: "In ancient times, it was meaningful, through the cherry blossoms blooming early and late, the flower characterization, experienced old people can roughly guess the summer of the year, the summer is short, the rain situation, and naturally can divinate whether it is a bumper harvest, whether to prepare for the famine in advance, there is a certain accuracy and practicality, but in modern times, there are meteorological stations, and the climate situation can be predicted next year, and everyone has a number in their hearts, so this kind of activity is only left to take a good fortune, who is crazy will go to the ruined business." ”

Kiyomi Liuli suddenly realized, no wonder the annual spring festival is almost the same, and it is about to change to a garden party, it turns out that it has been eliminated by scientific development, and everyone is engaged in formalism, so they coax themselves to play.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it's fun, she didn't lose her interest in the slightest, and accompanied Nanahara Takeshi to the cherry blossom avenue to see the cherry blossoms - the cherry blossom avenue in this park is only composed of more than 200 cherry blossom trees, which can't be compared with thousands or thousands of trees in places like Tokyo, but it's still very beautiful.

And both sides of the avenue are full of mountain cherries, the variety is the same, the flowering period is the same, this time is in full bloom, barely can say that there is no end at a glance, the eyes are all pure white and slightly pink cherry blossoms, very spectacular, occasionally the breeze caresses, and scattered a few cherry blossom petals drift down, and can add some romantic and mournful atmosphere.

"It's so beautiful......" Kiyomi Ruri Girl's heart attacked, and as soon as she walked to the cherry blossom avenue, she began to look at the cherry blossom trees in a daze.

"It's really good." Nanahara Takeshi also thinks it's okay, he is obsessed with cherry blossoms, and he has indeed put a lot of effort into cultivating cherry blossoms and building cherry blossom attractions, and this kind of cherry blossom avenue is also a small wonder.

They watched from afar for a while, feeling good, and walked through the cherry blossom avenue together, Kiyomi Ruri also picked up a few early cherry blossom petals and put them in a small handbag, ready to turn back and make bookmarks as a souvenir, and at this time there are more and more people in the park, many people drag their families to occupy a place early to prepare a picnic, and there are also some companies organized by the "cherry blossom viewing party" mindfulness poetry and wine, which is very speechless - these people drank it at just ten o'clock in the morning, probably the team building in the nineties.

Kiyomi Ruri chattered with Nanahara Takeshi along the way, and after crossing the neat cherry blossom avenue, he began to discuss the varieties of cherry blossom trees scattered on the roadside, which flowering period was the most beautiful, which leaves could be pickled to make cherry blossom cakes, and which cherry blossoms could be eaten, and soon turned around and went around to the entrance of the park.

At this time, she was a little hungry, and when she saw a small stall selling soba noodles, she asked Takeshi Nanahara, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

She has a "festival fee" today, her mother gave her extra pocket money, which is in her small handbag, she is not stingy, she is willing to take it out and invite friends to eat, and Nanahara Takeshi observed the small stall with a cautious expression, and found that Obasan, who fried noodles on the iron plate, was a clean person, and the ingredients in the stall were okay, so you can taste it.

There were a lot of people at this time, and they needed to queue up, and they were not in a hurry, Kiyomi Ruri was there to tell some interesting stories from her childhood, and Nanahara Takeshi kept making fun of her, and when they were about to get in line, a little girl in her early teens in front of her finished buying soba noodles and pulled out a 5,000 yen bill to pay the bill—ordinary buckwheat fried noodles cost only 260 yen a piece.

Obasang didn't care, just when the child didn't have change, even if she was very busy, she hurried to give her change, but she just found a lot of change and put it on the stall car, the little girl touched her pocket and found the change, smiled and quickly paid the soba money, hesitated again, pushed back a lot of change and 5,000 yen, and asked very obediently, "Can you exchange it all for me?" I'll probably have to buy a lot of small dolls in a while......"

"Absolutely." Obasan seemed to be very talkative and gentle with people, and immediately took ten thousand yen bills and handed them to her so that she could continue shopping while she played, and told her to stay safe.

"Thank you!" The little girl immediately bowed obediently after taking it, turned around and left, but turned around a little hurriedly, and accidentally bumped into Kiyomi Ruri.

Nanahara Takeshi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him and smiled, "Be careful." ”

"Thank you, big brother." The little girl was really well-behaved, and immediately raised her head and gave a big smile, and apologized to Kiyomi Ruri obediently, and then she disappeared into the crowd.

This little episode didn't attract anyone's attention, and Kiyomi Ruri didn't take it seriously, and praised "This kid is so cute" and said directly to Obasan: "We want two portions of eggs to pour buckwheat...... Well, one portion of soba noodles poured with eggs, one portion of soba noodles stir-fried, and some more bean sprouts...... No, don't have too many sprouts, I'm sorry for you. ”

As she spoke, she took out her small handbag, but she didn't take out the money after two clicks, obviously her mother put 3,000 yen in it before, and she had seen it when she put the cherry blossom petals before, why was it suddenly gone?

She rummaged through tissues, small mirrors, headbands and other miscellaneous items, and Nanahara Takeshi squeezed her aside with his buttocks, took out a huge black wallet, which was filled with banknotes, and smiled generously: "Don't dig your little pockets, come out to play today and I'll have a treat, all consumption is mine!" ”

As he spoke, he bent down, picked up a 5,000 yen bill from the ground and handed it to Obasan, who was selling fried noodles, and said with a smile: "You just dropped 5,000 yen, be careful to put it away, don't lose it." ”
