April 4 Qingming Festival.

On this day, the customs in the town are different from most places in the outside world. On this day, most of the early Chinese countries worship their ancestors and sweep the tombs, and Anye is a day when people of the same age meet together, and it is not easy for people of the same age to get together in a year.

That night, an appointment had been made in the group, and in the morning, Qin Ran got up, washed, and waited to prepare to go out. The father went out early to fold the willow branches, the mother took the willow in the hands of the father, left a few branches on both sides of the door, paced to the stove Jun painting to worship a few branches, and then went upstairs to the enshrined "heaven and earth" salute, respectfully paid some ......

The rest of the colorful ropes that had been braided early were all worn on the wrists of Qin Ran's brothers.

"Where are you going this year? Have you all figured it out? Qin Ran asked in the WeChat group.

"Let's talk about it when I arrive, hurry up, Da Mo gathers, Lao Tzu arrived before dawn in the morning, uncle, who said last night to go early and go early, I won't come now!" Dongdong scolded.

"Anyway, I didn't say it, I'm afraid you weren't so excited that you didn't sleep all night." Li Yuxia teased: "Wait for you." ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

“......”

Qin Ran looked at the news, grabbed the key and jumped into the car, and hurriedly went out. There are 22 friends of the same age, and it is rare that most of them have arrived this year because of the epidemic*, and those who went to school in previous years were not able to go home during the three-day vacation when they went to school in other places, and those who worked either couldn't get out of work, in short, it seems that they have not gathered together when they grow up.

It didn't take long to arrive at the agreed place, "big mill" is actually an abbreviation, there is a square at the foot of the old house, there is a huge stone mill in the center of the square, remember that when it was just built, it was also used to grind soybean milk. Now it has not been used for many years, and the miscellaneous branches and gravel are sprinkled in it, and it is probably impossible to push.

"***** hurry up, what's going on there!" Dongdong shouted, "Lao Tzu, wait for you for a long time to know, frozen into a dog." ”

"Who asked you to come so early, no one has come yet, it's only half past eight, what are you excited about!" Qin Ran said, "The sun is out, freeze into a dog, come and bask in the sun, it is estimated that it will take a while for everyone to come." ”

Dongdong scratched his head and muttered, "It's not good, it's not easy to come out, isn't it crazy, my excited heart can't bear it." ”

As the sun rises and begins to warm up, the big guys come one after another.

"One person pays a hundred, and I buy vegetables to cook in my new house." Such as Su a final word.

Divided into two groups, some people went grocery shopping, and some people followed Rusu to the house to prepare supplies. Qin Ran followed him to the grocery shopping party, came to the market and went straight to the tavern, there was a tavern in the corner of the market, which was opened by a pair of grandparents, and the wine in it was also brewed by the second elder in his spare time, not much better, not expensive, but mellow enough, strong enough, and deeply liked by Qin Ran and others.

"Grandma Su, Grandpa Li! Are you there? Qin Ran entered the house and said, "I'll get a drink." ”

"Hey, it's Xiao Ran." Grandpa Li paced out and said, "Do you still want green bamboo?" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Li, it's much more today." Qin Ran scratched his head: "There are a lot of drunkards today." ”

"Haha, yes, I know you want it today, so I'll keep it for you." Grandpa Li smiled heartily, "Wait, I'll get it." ”

“......”

When Qin Ran came out with a few jars of green bamboo wine, the other people also bought similar ingredients.

In the blink of an eye, the sunset is the time to cook rice and stir-fry vegetables, and after a while, the dishes have been served one after another, a full table, everyone gathers around the table, singing and drinking, inviting the wind and the moon, and is very happy.

Suddenly the drizzle is continuous, the wine is very cool, the air is filled with a fresh earthy smell, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, and the drizzle is sprinkled with stars and moon in the world.

The sky is full of silver.
