Next Chapter

Righteous Words:

Nowadays, most of us are not having a good time. But so, it seems that there is a common and basic reason - most of them have not eaten the permanent dividends of the excellent traditional culture and wisdom of our Chinese nation!!

Recently, Li Kailong, who is 5 out of 30, and He Caixin, a virtuous wife who is two years younger than him, have cashed out billions worth of cash from their three listed companies, including Nanyi Flower Cake, Qingyun Industrial Real Estate, and Peony.com!

Rumors were that the two of them were preparing to move overseas, and the stock prices of their three companies continued to slump rapidly.

His family and all like-minded colleagues came up with a way to ask his friend Mr. Chen Jingsheng, a student who works at the TV station, to interview the mysterious Li Kailong and explain!

In the back garden of Li Kailong and Ho Choi Yan's Chinese manor.

Hua Ling: "Mr. Li Kailong, tell us about your brilliant life first!" ”

Li Kailong: "...... It's not brilliant to be brilliant, most of them are lucky. ”

Li Kailong: "...... Let's start with my teenage years! ”

Hua Ling: "Hmm. ”

Li Kailong: "It was really a long, long time ago! ”

1. Nanyang Flower Village

I was born in the village of Nanyang.

The location of the village is very generous - surrounded by beautiful mountains and sweet water!

Every morning, I wake up to the wonderful scent of birds and flowers! In the evening, there are often flocks of happy geese returning south under the sunset!

Our houses at that time were all made of elven wood and carefully built over a long period of time. At that time, our total population was only 28 households, and today it has only grown to 38 households.

Because the land is really vast and sparsely populated, we will use a long wooden token outside the door of each house to make a large area of fence with care.

Around the beautiful longwood token fence, we'll also be planting some beautiful flowers, morning glories, trumpet flowers, and bustling roses! The miracle effect of beautifying by weaving!

We also have many roses in our yard, as well as our own flowers, safflowers, and other beautiful flowers!

Waiting for the spring flowers to bloom, those blooming exquisite flowers, morning glories, trumpet flowers, and roses seem to be hung up, scrambling to weave and entangle each other with a long wooden token fence, one after another continuous and cheerful blooming!

Roses are used to make delicious flower cakes and desserts! And the safflower is to be adopted on the days when we celebrate the Red Rice Festival.

Because the perimeter of the long wooden token fence of every household in Nanyang Village is so decorated, so when the spring flowers bloom, it naturally shows a moving scene of a hundred flowers blooming, flowers are blooming, purple and red, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing! It's really refreshing to sink into it!

When the spring flowers bloom, it naturally attracts many beautiful, flocks of colorful butterflies and hard-working and cheerful little bees!

We kids are always happy to see them! At the same time, they will always run after them and chase them in the rising and setting style, and want to catch them as precious pets, but they can't be caught after all.

Because we always love to touch flowers and grass, sometimes we will be inadvertently stung by those hard-working little bees who burrow into the flowers to collect nectar!

I remember that I was also often bitten at first, and I was always jumping up and down......

Every time I was stung by the hard-working little bees, I hurried home to find my mother. My mother always reprimanded me first, and then she would take the medicine from the medicinal herb Xiaotian under the south wall courtyard, and then use the burned herbs to carefully apply the wounds that had been stung red by the hard-working little bees. But I finally got the old wounds for the new ones, and it wasn't until I grew up that I really had a memory.

It was truly a childlike, wonderful and precious time!

2, Yanagigami

In the courtyard formed by a beautiful fence made of long wooden tokens, each of our homes will be planted with apple trees, mango trees, pomegranate trees, lychee trees, star fruit trees, plum trees, yellow peach trees, red dates, red beans, grapes, mulberries and other fine fruit trees, and two beautiful willow trees on the other side!

I remember very clearly that in my yard there were apples, mangoes, pomegranates, lychees, plums, yellow peaches, red dates, red beans, grapes and mulberries and other fine fruit trees grown by my grandparents.

According to my mother, these fine fruit trees were bought from a fruit tree merchant named Tang Meng. And these trees were planted before I was born!

Because I was greedy for fun when I was a child, when the sweet and colorful fruits were ripe one after another, my friends and I would leave what we had in our yard and go to other households for fun.

Sometimes, when we are caught by our hosts or seen by other adults, they will naturally tell our parents.

I remember that the fruit we first visited was seen by an adult passing by, so when we got home at noon, we were naturally beaten by our parents with sticks or wickers.

Therefore, we have been very cautious in our future actions. But most of the time, it will still be seen by adults or caught by the host's family.

In this regard, we will discuss and decide to go home after dark, so that our parents can dissipate their anger. But the result will still be severely educated and rectified by parents with sticks or wickers.

I remember that after that we were in trouble again. Although she was still very cautious, she was inadvertently seen by an adult on the other side, so she naturally reported to our parents. At that time, after frolicking outside, we went home without knowing it.

I don't remember which adult said that, but I remember he said to us, "Your parents are looking for you in a hundred thousand desperate places!" "When we heard that, we were terrified. So he planned to take refuge outside the village, and he would not be able to return home until late.

In the evening, my friends and I broke up at Shiyun Bridge in the east of the village, after which I hid in the beautiful flowers in front of my yard. And observe my family's movements through the spaced gaps of the long wooden token fence.

Because I hadn't been seen for a long time, my family came out to look for me. And I was hiding in the grass at the time, and through the cracks, I also observed my mother's very angry devil form.

In the end, my family couldn't wait for me, so my mother went to my friends one by one to ask questions. And they also told her truthfully: "He went home after we broke up at Shiyunqiao in the east of the village at night." So there were more people looking for me. And my friends quickly joined the game of finding me.

According to my mother, they were looking for me in the village, and when they couldn't find me, they went to the place outside the village where my friends and I used to frolic to look for me.

My mom also said that my father was afraid that I would be drowning, so he searched a long way along the river.

In the end, it was my aunt who found me. At that time, my aunt came to look for me around my house, and I was afraid that it would be a big problem, so I took the initiative to quickly get out of the flowers.

Because my aunt was always very nice to me. Every time I get into trouble, she plays the round for me, so I always rely on her after the trouble.

When my mom came back and saw me, she threw it at me with a wicker in her hand, but she was quickly intercepted.

The few times I was pumped really hurt my heart! But because of fear, I didn't cry and didn't dare to cry.

In the end, it was my aunt who helped me play the round, so this matter naturally turned the page.

But then my mom kept me under strict watch at home and didn't let me go out for a long time. And during the period of strict supervision, I carefully summed up the rights and wrongs of this matter.

Eventually, I would hear from my mother from time to time that any of my friends who had gone to patronize other people's fruit trees had been seen and caught, and then they had been severely educated and rectified by their parents.

So she used these topics to teach me, and explained to me the disadvantages of this matter and the long-term negative consequences that the results will have on me!!

3. Heart Hospital

We also have an indispensable vegetable garden in our yard!

It contains all kinds of organic vegetables that we grow home: eggplant, loofah, cabbage, greens, small tomatoes, small green and red peppers, mint, green onions, ginger and garlic and other delicious condiments.

Especially in the summer, we also grow watermelons in the yard! And what I looked forward to and liked the most at that time was summer and winter!

Because it's hot in the summer, we move the table to the courtyard in the evening to eat!

By the time the sun went down, the starry stars and the bright moon in the sky were gradually revealed!

And above us is the route of the plane! So at night, we'll often see planes passing by happily above us!

In the winter, we warm ourselves by campfire in the yard. And my favorite part is the barbecue next!

In the evening, my mother would bring some firewood from the woodhouse to make a bonfire in the place where we used to cook in the winter.

After that, those relatives of our family will also come to warm up and chat.

When everyone is almost ready, we will roast some fresh and sweet taro, sweet potato, white sweet potato, purple sweet potato and other delicious sweet potatoes dug from our own field!

Sometimes for dinner, we grill fish or barbecue wild venison or goat meat, which we have caught in a trap and caught in the mountains.

And during the barbecue for the New Year, my grandmother's pork sausage was served with purple glutinous rice that we grew ourselves!

At that time, because of the underdevelopment of many things in our country and the weak sense of law, there were many times when hunting was more dependent and traditional on our side.

The adults chatted during the fire, and most of them were very funny. I listen to their humor, but I always think about the food!

At the same time, I often look up at the strange starry sky above, counting passing planes and the occasional meteor!!

4. New Year's Festival

Our Red Rice Festival is divided into major and minor sections, which are our big year and small year.

The New Year is the 11th, 12th, and 13th of October in our first year, and the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th of the next year, and there are three consecutive days. The New Year is on the 28th of June every year.

The day of the year is also the day when our village is officially established. The theme is a reunion between ancestors and relatives.

On this day, our relatives from far away in the village of Mushroom will also come. And in addition to the Spring Festival, they also have their nation's new rice festival!

Legend has it that their ancestors had a famine because their ancestors could not grow their crops one day. So they live by eating seafood and delicacies from the mountains and forests.

But over time, the seafood and delicacies in the mountains and forests were also starved, so naturally there was a famine.

Immediately afterwards, the mages in the village organized a group to go to their holy place to ask the gods and spirits to solve their problems.

As a result, the gods angrily explained, "You do not know how to be frugal or thankful when you are rich. He also wantonly wastes extravagance, excludes nature, violates nature, and even has great disrespect for us! ”

So their gods were gone thenβ€”choosing to leave them to fend for themselves!

Knowing the cause of the incident, the mages and the villagers held a meeting on this - to summarize the wrongdoings and reverently make amends!

And the gods promised to help them start over. Immediately afterwards, they transformed into a flock of glittering cuckoos, and flew to a high ground with precious ears of rice in their beaks, sowing golden rare and valuable grains!

Those villagers who had a good moral foundation and were lucky enough to survive also fetched water from the nearby Lingxiu Valley for irrigation work in an orderly manner. And he is very attentive to protect those rare and valuable life-saving grains.

After a while, those rare and valuable grains broke through the soil and grew well!

As a result, their ancestors were always grateful and reverent – in reverence for the patron gods, and in harmony with nature!!

5, Uncle Qin

The night before the new year, I usually ask my mother to wake me up tomorrow morning when she wakes up early, and the main purpose is to see my father, uncle, uncle, second uncle, and cousin!

What I'm looking forward to is when they catch the pigs, and I go to see them with my friends almost every year. The process is always fun!

And the time I remember vividly was when my father and the five of them went to carry the pig, and my uncle was kicked to the ground by the pig.

That morning, my mom woke me up early. And after I washed up, I sat on the bench in the yard as usual and waited for my father.

After that, my father and I usually went to my uncle's house and waited. When we were all ready, we went to the west of the village, in a public breeding house far away from our village, to carry the pigs.

When we came to the public farm, my father would start by chatting with the other villagers who came to carry the pigs. After that, everyone will first rinse the inside with a hose, and finally go to catch the pigs.

At that time, the New Year's goods that my father was going to catch were really big enough. As soon as my father went in to catch it, it was jumping and bounced and went on a powerful rampage inside.

My uncle tried to lasso it, but it turned around and quickly knocked him into a corner. After that, he kicked and arched my uncle again and again.

Then my father and cousin kicked in quickly, and the pig quickly turned around and chased after the two of them. So the two of them ran separately and kicked out of the southeast and southeast walls.

In the end, everyone present worked together to subdue it!

And that public breeding house was built in our village after the new house was built, and there was still a lot of timber left, so after everyone discussed it together, we decided to build it together.

That breeding house is really neat! Because before building it, taking into account the factors of nature, my father and they first dug a huge pit in the ground below it. Later, we dug up a lot of stone and sand from our sand river and raised money to buy cement - to make foreign body capacity.

After making it, they slowly covered it with the excavated soil. And until it's completely covered. And after the accumulation of time, a large number of pleasing flowers and grasses have naturally grown on that land!

After this important project was completed, they began to build a communal breeding house in our village on top of him. After the public breeding house was built, they also made plastic pipes in each circle and connected to the foreign body capacity below.

When everyone has raised the pigs, the feeders of each family will use the water pipes equipped in each pen to bathe the pigs and clean up foreign objects after feeding.

So our public breeding house is really clean and tidy, and there is hardly a trace of peculiar smell.

Finally, my mother and her sisters also planted a lot of winter melons and loofahs around the breeding house to completely remove the smell and beautify it.

It wasn't until many years later, when the village's economy gradually improved, that everyone raised funds to build a new public farm in the original location with cement, replacing the wooden breeding houses in the past.

At first, there was also a very interesting story born in this, that is, about my little friend Li Dongdong's father, Uncle Li Qin!

At that time, after the public breeding house in the village was built, everyone bought a small pig from a small truck who often drove a small truck to and from my village and other villages to sell all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and meat.

Uncle Baliang will say every time he cuts the pork and weighs it: "Half a catty and eight taels~". Over time, everyone gave him such a title.

He wasn't the only merchant who traveled between our village and other villages selling his wares.

Although the title is half a catty, he is honest and virtuous - when he sees the old man and us children, he sometimes gives us fruits to eat, and when he buys and sells goods, he will happily give away other small goods. And the most important thing is that most of the goods he buys and sells are real fresh goods! So he can naturally and easily travel in our village and seven other villages.

He mostly came at noon, and when he saw him again in the afternoon, the fresh goods he had brought with him were almost out of stock.

Having said that, after everyone raises Xiaonian pigs, each family will have a person who is responsible for feeding. And Uncle Li Qin's family is Li Dongdong - Xiao Lizi's mother has always been in charge of it alone.

But one day, Xiao Lizi's mother was injured because her feet were not stable when she was doing farm work, so Uncle Li Qin could only be responsible for this matter.

Listen to my mother, because he has never been in charge of this matter, and he has never asked Xiao Lizi's mother which pen their little pig is in. And because he always went to feed late, and at that time, the villagers who came to feed their own families went home, so no one could tell him which pen his New Year's piglets were raised.

So he actually relied on his memory to choose to feed. As a result, I fed it to my two friends next to me every time - Chen Jinlong and Chen Jinbao's family. Blessed and fed his little pigs to be white and fat!

In the end, it was because Uncle Li Qin's New Year's piglet had never been fat or thin, so everyone naturally started to talk about him together.

At that time, everyone in charge of feeding took pity on Xiao Lizi's mother for her injury. So I have been helping to feed some, otherwise, Uncle Li Qin's little pig will be about to starve naturally.

However, later some people said that she had seen Uncle Li Qin come to feed, and everyone agreed that she was hallucinating.

They then added: "Even if he has seen it, it is because he came to see how his little pigs looked?" Isn't it possible to have a snack?! ”

After Uncle Li Qin heard about this, he asked them to explain it very confidently.

He said he had fed it, and said he was now at least bigger than an elephant! When Aunt Zhang Hema heard this, she said to him, "Do you still have a conscience?" If it weren't for Xiao Lizi's mother who was injured and was not conducive to activities, so everyone helped to feed it, your little pig would have been blown to the sky by the wind and ran away on the sun! ”

After Uncle Li Qin heard this, he was very angry and led them to the public breeding house to find out!

When he got there, he realized that he had made a mistake. And this incident quickly spread in the village!

Uncle Li Qin, he is my mother's classmate in the same village. I heard my mother say that although he has the word diligence in his name, he is very different from each other!

According to my mom, when he was very young, he worked as a security guard outside, but then he was fired because of something. So when he returned to the village, he often wore his uniform and went around drinking and chatting with them about his "glorious deeds".

Finally, he will educate the people who drink with him, tell them how to behave, and let them "learn" from themselves!

One year, during the spring ploughing season in the village, he approached his nephew from the neighboring field and begged him to help him plow the field, and he would use his left hand, which had been injured by his master's family when he stole something, as an excuse - that the activity was "inflexible"! So it's natural to "can't do" the work.

When his nephew heard this, he took pity on him and promised to help him. However, the wound on his left hand had healed early, especially when he raised his glass!

But later, when he went to the house to drink every day, he even complained about his nephew - saying that he was not pragmatic in his work, and that it was better to plow his field "badly" than to plow it "well"!

So he used this in our village to go around saying "bad things" about his nephew. After his nephew naturally found out, he promised never to help him with any farm work again!

Once, when we were growing pumpkin cash crops in our village, we all applied the same pesticides, but he took a unique approach and branded a "special medicine" that he didn't know where to buy it.

He originally thought that after these pesticides, he would make those delicate little pumpkins grow fast and beautiful, and then wait for others to see his family's "pleasing growth" little pumpkins, and be able to beg him where to buy the "special medicine".

According to my mother, once Uncle Forrest Gump went to the field to give medicine to his little pumpkins, and Uncle Li Qin began to ridicule Uncle Forrest Gump and his little pumpkins after seeing him.

Compared to him, Uncle Forrest Gump's family looks like they are about to "go extinct"! If Uncle Forrest Gump can beg him, he will tell Uncle Forrest Gump what kind of "special medicine" he used! Uncle Forrest Gump was speechless after hearing this.

And then the situation is that Uncle Li Qin's delicate little pumpkins slowly withered before they were picked.

Fishing and hunting are the same, Uncle Li Qin can always say that his harvest is very tempting!

For example, if he catches or catches a few fish, he will say that as long as he goes to his "secret fishing position", he will catch at least two buckets! The hunt is obviously a squirrel, but he will say that if he goes to his "secret hunting area", the last thing he will catch will be a wild deer!

In the early years, when he was very young, he would drink late into the night and disrupt his neighbors by singing and dancing alone.

Sometimes, he would get drunk in the village, and staggered on the road to see men, women, children, and dogs trying to force them to fight and dance with him.

At that time, he also used to steal the chickens, ducks, geese and various organic vegetables of Grandpa Aihua's house in our village and Liluo Village for happy picnics.

Sometimes, he also joined forces with other villages, and two of his close friends went to steal the fertilizer from Grandpa Aihua's house and exchange it for wine. So one night, he set off again to Grandpa Aihua's house to steal chickens, but he was naturally caught by the master's family who was ambushed in the shadows.

At that time, he was very unconvinced, and he continued to speak disrespectfully to the other party. Immediately afterwards, he smashed the other party's beloved flashlight and clashed, so his left hand was injured in the dark night.

But everyone said that he finally did a "good deed"! They said that if he didn't steal again, he wouldn't have been caught, and his left hand wouldn't have been injured afterwards.

Still, this does not change his bad habit of speaking uncivilized words and his pompous style. But after this incident, he never did anything unreasonable such as stealing.

Finally my mom went on to talk to me. Uncle Li Qin's father couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to visit Uncle Li Qin's cousin, who was working outside, and entrusted him to give Uncle Li Qin a wife, hoping to try to restrain Uncle Li Qin's bad habits through this wife.

His cousin was helpless, but finally agreed.

Uncle Li Qin is blessed! It didn't take long for his cousin to find him! And Xiao Lizi's mother is a hard-working person, a single person.

But then after the two met at first sight, they officially got married soon after!

According to my mother, it is strange to say that after Uncle Li Qin got married, he really changed as a person - gradually learned basic responsibility, and had the goal and format to make life thriving! The bad habits in the style have been slowly corrected!

And the biggest reason is that he is afraid that Xiao Lizi's mother will leave him because of his bad habits.

Especially after having Xiao Lizi, his whole person has become more pragmatic! Because Xiao Lizi wants to study when he grows up, he is very serious and down-to-earth to earn and save money.

And the most rare thing is that his bad habit of drinking and singing and dancing late at night, can't find a home after drinking, can't go home, and lets people carry home, is also being naturally corrected under the gentle care of Xiao Lizi's mother!

He also tries not to get himself drunk when he drinks a lot, even after the Chinese New Year! And everyone is sincerely admirable for the changes he has made!

For me personally, a long period of aimlessness and non-acceptance of the right path is the source of most of the bad habits that are devastating to us.

In the first half of his life, like Uncle Li Qin, he lived without a purpose and perception of life. So he took pleasure in drinking, gnawing at the old, and doing bad things. However, in the second half of the period, because of marriage and having children, there is naturally a precious sense of restraint and responsibility! So he is no longer obscene. On the contrary, he has taken on a valuable responsibility and a good example!

Today, he is a popular role model, a positive person, and a positive teaching material in our village and those who know him!

And he likes to be compared to what he was and what he is now. With his true feelings, he said: "This is a great honor and a great compliment to me personally!! ”

6. Xiao Nian

Having said that, when I was a young man, I usually went to the Yiyun store in the village with my little friends to buy firecrackers with the pocket money I got from my parents! And this is my favorite part of my childhood!

After buying firecrackers, we will first go to Shiyun Bridge in the east of our village to blast the river to play!

After waiting for some of the firecrackers in our hands to run out, we started to cheerfully light firecrackers and blast each other! The blasting you chased after me is indeed very happy!

Sometimes, if the other party can't blast him, we surrender and give the other party four firecrackers. And then you have to join him and join forces with him to blast others. The rule is that you can only team up with two people, and if it's three, it's unfair to everyone else - because we have exactly eight!

Sometimes, when two people have teamed up, they will lie to other people who haven't teamed up yet, and we call him: "Fake teammate!" ”

We'd pretend to be separated, and then lie to the guy who wasn't teaming up and say, "Let's team up!" ”

When he believes, we will quietly light firecrackers behind him to blast others while he observes to explode them, and then we will run away happily and excitedly.

When we are fooled, we will also shout happily: "Fake teammates! Fake teammates! ……”

We will be fooled at first, but then we will not. Because of the fake teammates, he can't help but snicker when he sneaks up on us! And most of the sounds of lighting firecrackers can be heard!

Sometimes, we also have a tactical hand with each other! Because we will go to Shiyun Bridge to blast the river to play every time before the start of this game, we will quietly buy a few more boxes of firecrackers from each other before the beginning of the year! And this is usually a tactical adjustment made after gaining experience.

Sometimes when we bump into each other, we will say that we are here to buy something, but we will also tacitly point and laugh at each other!

So when we started the game that day, we naturally felt that the other party was loaded with an arsenal!

We've added a new rule to this – when the opponent runs out of firecrackers, he can run into the village's Yiyun Commissary all the time, and until then, his opponent can keep chasing him to blast.

After we have had a lot of fun in the morning, we also keep half of the firecrackers and wait for the evening to continue!

When I got home at noon, my mom and her family were busy cooking, and the relatives who had come from afar would come to help. Around 5 p.m., my grandfather and father began to prepare the offerings!

The main offering is a stewed hen, all kinds of delicious meals, cucumbers, melons, melons, cantaloupe grown in the field, steamed sweet potatoes, white potatoes, yellow potatoes, purple potatoes, sweet taro, cigarettes, liquor and five freshly picked saffron!

Once the delicious offerings were ready, we invited them into our house on the west side, where our ancestors were enshrined!

Finally, the eldest elder in our family stayed behind to preside over the matter, with the aim of gaining the protection and blessings of our ancestors! The delicious offerings will need to be saved until around 12 noon tomorrow.

After waiting for the speaker to come out, we can officially set the table in the courtyard to eat! And I usually go out to play with my friends after a good meal!

We'll go to the crystal clear waterfall of the Namaipo River first!

We often play the game of filling bottles with sand, and then all of us standing on the shore with our backs to the waterfall of the Namaipo River, and a random little friend throws the bottle into the water, counting from one to ten, and then we all scramble into the water to fight for the bottle.

But most of us scramble to get into the water to grab bottles before we count to ten.

Finally, we'll be playing the "Big Crocodile Eats Man" game! Use the rock-paper-scissors method to determine the last loser to play the big crocodile!

The rule is that the person being chased cannot go ashore, and the little friend who is "eaten" by the big crocodile cannot "eat" it.

As soon as the game starts, we, as "people", will excitedly shout everywhere: "The crocodile is here!" The big crocodile is coming! ...... "Then we would swim and swim everywhere until we reached a safe area.

Most of the time, we will betray the person who is swimming next to us - when the "big crocodile" catches after him, we will take advantage of his lack of attention and put our hands against him to prevent him from swimming!

When the sun is about to set in the afternoon, we will play the old banyan tree next to the basketball court in the garden of the village at sunset, also rock-paper-scissors, four or four teams, playing some newspapers or hide and seek!

The game is that when we are separated, you go to the pine tree opposite, and we are here at the banyan tree. After the other party came out first, our side sent someone to chase him, in fact, they touched him with their hands.

When he catches him, he's a prisoner on our side!

We'll take him to our right, follow the distance we have eight steps from the banyan tree, and then draw circles there and put him in.

And his teammates can use the same method we talked about earlier - touch to save him.

This game is the most test of our personal stamina, flexibility, and cooperation with teammates!

When there are only two people on the other side, we will pour out of the nest and use attraction and body skills to help teammates who have the opportunity to report and achieve our final victory!

And when we play hide and seek, we usually use pine trees as a point to report.

At that time, what we were most afraid of was hiding with our little friend Chen Jinbao or being seen by him. Because he'll snitch!

When hiding in a place with him, waiting for the counting companion to come to us, he would laugh and shout, "Come on, come on!" He's here! There he is! ……”

Sometimes we quickly go into hiding again. But sometimes it will be too late to be "taken away" by him.

One of our companions, Magana, is very interesting!

At first, he was always the last to report - victory or be found.

So we learned when we were hiding with him - he had mostly hid in the mountains when he was playing hide and seek! And he would slowly come down from above to observe, until he had the opportunity to report, and he would not really come down.

So we re-established the rules for this - you can't leave the village, you can't hide in the mountains, or you can't hide in outer space!

Once the sun has completely set, we start playing the game of lighting firecrackers and blasting each other!

And this is the most fun time, because we are usually alone at this time - the dark night is our best support!

Waiting for everyone to run out of firecrackers, we will go home relatively happily.

When I got home, the elders were still happily drinking and chatting, and I went straight back to my bed and fell asleep quickly.

Compared to our children, this year's little year has ended successfully!

7. Big Year

The theme of the year - the most important first day firstThank God!

Finally, we will worship our patron gods - the male saffron god of martial arts, the female god of purple rice and grain, and our ancestors!

In the small square in the center of our village, the village is presided over by a social group of respected elders in the village - first thankfully, and then worship our male saffron god and female purple rice god and ancestors. The main purpose is to ensure peace and joy in the coming year and to fix a good harvest year!

The next day, parents or young people in the family will host a feast for their family and friends – thanking them for their help and courtesy over the past year!

On the third day, the elders of our family hosted a feast for their friends to eat, sing and dance!

On the evening of the third day, the village was also presided over by a well-respected social group of the elderly.

A week before the Lunar New Year, our village chief and several village cadres, who would use the funds raised by everyone to buy cattle, went to the olive estate to find a farmer named Ah Bao to buy a cow. The day before the Chinese New Year is waited for, it is handled by the men in the village. After that, the beef is divided according to the various parts of the cattle, and each household divides the beef in the order of annual rotation.

On the morning of the Lunar New Year, in the small square in the center of the village, a respected social group of the elderly used us to threshk grain in the fields, and the large mat of the same type spread out on the bamboo platform of the worship house they had made of fresh bamboo a few days ago. And the big seat on the big bamboo platform is also covered with the beautiful red flowers that we planted with heart for the New Year!

Starting at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the heads of each of our families went to make offerings.

Our offerings are usually loaded in a beautiful large porcelain bowl, and the offerings are fresh fruits and vegetables that we have cultivated with great care a few weeks or even a month ago!

Finally, we will sprinkle the fruits and vegetables loaded in beautiful porcelain bowls with rice harvested not long ago, purple glutinous rice, millet and green Bodhi rice grown on our own hillside!

These offerings were collected by our family at the end of the evening of the third day of the new year.

At home, we will also make these offerings into delicious cooked food to worship our ancestors. And our patron saints will also come to each of our homes through clones to share all kinds of food with our ancestors!

At around two o'clock in the afternoon on the second day of the Lunar New Year, our esteemed guests also arrived one after another! And that's my favorite part!

Because my Han cousin, who ran a restaurant in Qingyun County at that time, when we had a New Year and he was free, he would come to our house to celebrate the New Year with us. And when he came back and saw me and my sister, he would give us a lot of money to buy delicious snacks to eat!

At the end of the day, I would go to my friends to play, and most of the games I played were the ones I wanted to play when I was a child!

And in the evening, what we're looking forward to most is to get a sneak peek at Abigo and his friends after they get drunk!

While playing hide-and-seek, our little friends who were hiding around his house would run over to us and excitedly say, "Abigo, they're here!" ”

And as we were on the way, we heard the rumbling music and the dazed singing from his house!

At the end of the day, we all huddled together and watched Abigo and his friends singing and dancing in the courtyard!

His wobbly dance steps and strange music singing always make us laugh at it!

After that, we'll go home and go to bed, and then we'll play and watch again tomorrow. Compared to our children, this year's New Year has ended successfully!

8, Safflower Valkyrie

Legend has it that our ancestors came to our current village in order to escape years of war.

In the evening, we chose to rest on the northern slope of our village, which was crawling with all kinds of beautiful flowers.

After waiting late at night and everyone fell asleep, one of our respected male elders dreamed in a dream that a half-human, half-beast human-human-faced beast had escaped from a huge hole in an ancient tree in the mountains and wanted to eat our ancestors. And at that time, our ancestors were frozen by his spell in their sleep!

Then the humanoid tiger-faced beast grabbed the left arm of one of our ancestors and bit it hard.

And at this time, there was a very beautiful man who was deeply nourished by the mountains and rivers, so that he was very smart, and he held the safflower whip interwoven with red flowers in his hand, and whipped the tiger-faced beast with a human body.

The human-humanized tiger-faced beast was beaten by our Red Flower Valkyrie and jumped everywhere, and finally escaped and jumped into the huge ancient tree hole where he was hiding.

Our Red Flower Valkyrie and our male elder ancestor explained, "I passed by here a long time ago, and when I was resting at night, I was stopped in my sleep by the human-like tiger-faced beast casting a spell, and he also took me back to the ancient tree cave and ate me. Because my body and bones are imprisoned in that ancient tree cave, I can't be reborn. But for a long time, I escaped by chance and changed into what I am now. Since then, I've been secretly protecting the pedestrians who have been bewitched by the human-faced tiger-faced beast to rest, and I hope they will help me defeat him! ”

Before that, the pedestrians who had been rescued by our Red Flower Valkyrie had told them how to defeat the human-faced tiger-faced beast, but the pedestrians had quickly woken up and fled for their lives.

And the human tiger-faced beast learned from his investigation that he had been shot and wounded by hunters when he was about to become an adult, so he ate those people. But in the process, he hurt the innocent, and in order to punish him, God made him change into the appearance of a half-man and half-beast.

Our Red Flower Valkyrie also said, "As long as you can surround that huge ancient tree ten times with a long rope woven with red flowers, and then recite the incantation I have passed on to you, if the human tiger-faced beast resists, you must keep chanting until he is silent." Then he cut down the old tree and burned it. In this way, the human tiger-faced beast will then go to Heaven and receive a fair judgment, and I will be reborn as a result! ”

At the same time, he also promised our ancestors that after he was reborn, he would come back to be our patron saint, and use the redflower whip in his hand to protect us!

Our ancestors quickly woke up and checked that one of our companions had indeed been bitten on the left hand. And there are obvious traces of fighting around.

Eventually, one of our ancestors was a mage who used saffron to treat his wounds. And the wound was miraculously healed not long after!

Listening to the words of our safflower warrior god, our ancestors quickly moved - before dawn they started to weave a long safflower rope from safflower, and then prepared the tools for cutting trees.

It was dawn, the sun was fully out, and the mage cast spells on the tools. Eventually, our ancestors marched towards the ancient tree on the mountain!

When he came to the ancient tree, the male elder who was entrusted with the dream recited the incantation given to him by our Red Flower Martial God to the ancient tree. So everyone used the braided safflower rope to surround the ancient tree ten times, and then began to cut down the tree!

As soon as our ancestors began to cut it, the ancient tree shook violently. So the male elder ancestor who was entrusted with the dream unswervingly recited the spell given to him by the Red Flower Martial God, and it was not until the seven orifices were bleeding that the ancient tree slowly stopped shaking violently.

In the end, our ancestors immediately cut down the trees until their hands were blistered and bleeding, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest!

In the afternoon, the ancient tree was finally cut down by our ancestors, and a huge puddle of black blood flowed out.

After that, our ancestors burned the old tree and settled down. At the same time, our ancestors also planted saffron in front of their new homes, and it has been passed down from generation to generation!

9. Purple rice grain god

Back then, after our ancestors settled in our current village, they cultivated many acres of fertile land in the suburbs and sowed seeds with the precious grain seeds and vegetable seeds they brought!

After a few weeks, the sweet vegetables are ripe! Our ancestors ate fish and crabs caught from the river and delicacies from the mountains and forests or caught in traps - wild venison and goat meat.

In a few months, the millet will also be ripe! But a small amount of harvest. So our ancestors have been living on fresh and sweet vegetables, fish and crabs in the rivers and delicacies from the mountains and forests.

But before long, the fish in the river, the crabs in the ravines, and the delicacies of the mountains and forests were starved.

Naturally, one day, there were no more fish in the river, crabs in the ravines, and delicacies in the forests, so there was a famine in the village, and they lived only on fresh and sweet vegetables. So, our purple rice food god - she is here!

At that time, after several days of famine in the village, a respected female elder of our village dreamed that a beautiful fairy floated down from the beautiful mountain to the south of our village, and with a smile she took out the purple rare and rare grain seeds from the basket in her hand, and scattered them evenly into the high field on the hillside below us!

Finally, our god of purple rice and grain explained to the respected female elder in our village: You must cultivate these grains with good care, it can save your lives. Then she floated back gently!

Under the careful cultivation of our ancestors, after a few months, our holy land was harvested!

Our ancestors took that rare and rare rice back into the village, and it was purple rice that came out! Then they took it and cooked it, and they got the delicious purple glutinous rice we eat now!

Now, it is a sacred place that has been handed down from our ancestors' generation! And the beautiful mountains and forests above the holy land are also our holy land! The adults in the village rarely go up, and the old people don't allow us children to go up and play.

And it's strange to say, the mountains and forests on all sides of us are the most aura and beautiful on that side! Fortunately, my hometown lives at the foot of Nanshan Mountain!

After our ancestors had lived for a long time, they decided to celebrate the establishment of our village on the 28th of June every year as our new year!

Finally, the theme of the small year and the big year is spread, so as to thank Dade for our safflower martial god and purple rice grain god for our regeneration help!!

10. Gathering

In the years that followed, families came from far and wide in our village and settled in suitable places.

In the end, there are eight villages, including Xiaohongmuzhuang, Xiaonanmu Village, Hongzhuhua Village, Songguoxiang Village, Firefly Village, Relo Village and our Nanyang.

After a long period of precipitation and exchanges of courtesies with each other, everyone has slowly become familiar with each other!

In the end, it was unanimously decided that August 11 of every four years would be the day for everyone to gather and celebrate. The order of rotation is then determined by a lot. And now, I've had two happy parties.

The process of the conference is as follows:

The garden course in our village is the main venue!

In the first two weeks of the conference, the young people of the village, my parents' generation, my grandparents and their elders, were busy with their assigned tasks.

The young people in the village and my parents' generation were in charge of the food supply.

My mom and the younger generation of women were responsible for growing vegetables, going to the mountains to find wild vegetables, and catching crabs in the ravines.

In the evening, the dance was rehearsed, and in the afternoon of the conference, the male and female song and dance troupes led by the village cadres and troupes of other seven villages were selected by lottery to perform. The stage was built to the south of our garden basketball court.

My father, and the younger generation of men, were responsible for fishing in our big rivers, hunting in the mountains, and setting traps for large animals – there was a weak sense of the law at that time.

The day before the meeting, we will take care of the delicacies hunted from the mountains and the cattle bought from Uncle Bao. At the same time, he is also responsible for the arrangement of the colorful flags of the conference, the collection of tables, chairs and benches that everyone has marked, and the firewood for cooking on the day of the conference.

The younger generation, on the other hand, rehearses and plays the cucurbit silk at night.

The bamboo reed sheng instruments played by Hulusi and my grandfather were made by Grandpa Gunaima and his apprentices in our village.

My grandmother and her female elders were responsible for digging sweet potatoes, white potatoes, yellow potatoes, purple potatoes, taro and other sweet potatoes two days before the conference began, and getting up early in the morning of the conference to steam the glutinous rice that everyone ate at home. Glutinous rice is purple glutinous rice and white glutinous rice collected from everyone's house by catty.

And in the evening, the dance is rehearsed.

My grandfather and his male elders were responsible for making baijiu, our national sweet rice wine, and the welcome door.

Rice wine barrels are made from large bamboo. The sweet rice wine was appetizing for us!

In the evenings, they rehearse and play the bamboo reed sheng instrument.

The original bamboo flower bracket for the welcome door and the stage performance with a big red curtain is also made of long bamboo. The old-timers in the village took eighteen exquisite large and small bamboos from our bamboo forest by the East River.

The three roots are the big welcome gate on the road at the west exit of the village, the bamboo flower bracket with the red curtain hanging on the stage performance, and the big welcome door at the east exit of the village.

The three roots are the small welcome door on the path that joins the meeting from the northeast of the venue, the three small roots are the small welcome door for joining the meeting from the southwest, and the three small roots are the small welcome door for us to join the meeting due west.

The process of making a welcome door:

Each section of the beautiful bamboo was chiseled and then designed and decorated by the young people of our village with a variety of flowers.

The elders in the village said that the design and decoration of flowers is the work of each generation of young people in our village, and it is symbolic and needs to be injected with infinite energy and vitality by our young generation!

And the overall look of the end of the welcome door gives us the feeling of flowers opening up layer by layer, which is indeed colorful!

The welcome door, blessing also means that everyone we come and go can enter and exit safely, happily and happily, and have a bright future!

11. Cheche commissary

Our children also love and look forward to this day! Because on this day, there will be a fun car shop in the village!

The Cheche Kiosk is where we gather in the morning, where our merchants from Qingyun County transport goods in small trucks to the Crescent Bay section of our village to set up stalls and sell all kinds of our beloved goods!

Most of the snacks, snacks and toys that we didn't eat for kids or even adults at the time were on sale!

Games usually have – punching bags, drinks, snare dolls, toys and spinner wheels. Among them, the sandbag drink is very popular among our adults and children!

And the gifts of the roulette wheel are - small goldfish, small koi, little turtles and beautiful little rabbits playing in the ecological small fish tank!

There are also my and my friends' favorite toys such as water guns, pistols, fighter models, small electric toy cars and other toys!

At that time, I only officially confirmed that there was a fun car commissary, and I only officially confirmed it after my mother told me about it the night before. And before that, because I was in trouble, my mother didn't let me go out to play.

At that time, my mother told me that our village was going to have a convention tomorrow, and I said I knew. So she said that tomorrow there will be a fun car shop in the village.

And this car commissary was also mentioned in the first two weeks when my friends and I were chatting about the sunset on the banyan tree.

At the time, most of us didn't pay much attention to it – we still thought about how fun a car commissary could be.

I remember this topic, which was raised by our friends Chen Jinlong at that time. He said his father had told him a long time ago. At that time, he also had a good reproduction of what his father had said to him at the time, about how fun the car commissary was.

And he also said let's save more money in the coming days, and we did so with half a doubt.

Eventually, my mom told me that the car shop would be held in the crescent bay section of the village. So, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at night.

In the morning, I washed up early and sat on the bench in the yard and waited.

But my mom told me to wait until dawn, the sun came out, and the car shop owners arrived, and then it officially began!

When the sun came out, I immediately went to meet my friends.

Our group excitedly ran to the Crescent Bay section of our village to find out!

And those car commissary owners in order to fight for a good location, but they got up early and got in place early!

Most of us were stunned when we saw that scene - there were so many toys that we hadn't eaten or played with everywhere we could see!

So we ran home and took out our treasured pocket money and asked our parents for money - we couldn't have imagined it would be so fun! And our parents are going to come over to play.

There were a lot of people who came to play, including our children, guests who arrived early from the other seven villages that day, and even the adults in our village who were cooking, most of them put down their work and came to play with us.

And the most played by adults is the game of smashing drinks!

At that time, my friends and I ran over to watch the excitement and saw that some adults were playing a game of sandbag smashing and drinking, and smashed out a large box! I also clearly remember that the boss at that time was anxious about this.

Among them, the one that impressed me the most was Uncle Amo! Because he also prepared a box in advance to load drinks!

After he paid the boss, he picked the sandbags from the basin that filled them. After picking one, stand at the distance set by the boss and start drinking drinks. The first time he didn't hit him, he hit the second time, but he didn't hit any of them after four times. Everyone was made to laugh and cry because of this!

Waiting for the fifth time, he was full of energy, saying that he would definitely be able to hit it, but the result was only a side. And almost everyone present at that time gathered for this reason.

Finally, Maverick also walked over from the crowd. After understanding the reason, he first said a few words to his father, and then took over his father's remaining five punching bags.

After waiting for him to be fully prepared, under the expectant gaze of everyone, he was engrossed in the opposite drink. In this way, there were two large bottles of drinks on the shelves, and the kicking tower was knocked down.

And my friends and I went to our parents after watching the adults smash the drinks.

I found my family and we went to the food stall together. There we had a lot of snacks and snacks that we hadn't eaten before!

Hua Ling: "......"

Li Kailong - wiping tears.

…………

Finally, we also walked around. After a while, the adults also dispersed one after another.

After the adults dispersed, I went to look for my friends, and our group soon came to the place where there was a toy turntable.

Our biggest wish is those beautiful fighter models and electric toy cars in the gift pile!

I remember that Wang Yang was the first to place a bet at that time.

After he paid the boss, he was fully prepared.

Finally, under the expectant gaze of our group, he turned the roulette wheel vigorously.

As the roulette wheel stopped, he harvested a small ecological fish tank and a few beautiful little koi!

After several rounds of settlement, the luckiest of us was Magana - he transferred to a beautiful little white rabbit!

But when the little white rabbit grew up, he was secretly taken away by his cousin, who had been coveting for a long time, and made into a delicious appetizer, and shared it with his father.

Until noon, after the owners of the car shop had a good meal at the village reception, they all returned to Qingyun one after another.

12. Hold a meeting

The party marched until about 2 p.m.

After the community of the elderly held a good worship ceremony for our heavenly mothers, gods and ancestors in the small square in the center of the village, the conference officially began!

The small welcome gate on the east, south and west sides of the conference was greeted by young people wearing our national costumes on both sides of the small welcome door, and the guests also entered the venue one after another.

Our national costume is tailor-made for Grandma Yang Ba and her apprentices in our village – black and gold headscarves, short sleeves, men's trousers and women's long skirts.

On the day of the conference, all the men, women and children in our village who participated in the conference were also asked to wear our national costumes.

The national costumes of adults are tailor-made, and the national costumes of children who are growing up and developing are constantly being modified.

And our national costumes can be worn during our holidays and birthdays. To have a set of our national costumes is to become a symbol of our nation.

In the venue, there was a lot of voice!

Once my friends and I had met, we discussed where to sit.

In the end, we chose the corner on the southeast side of the garden venue and sat down there. Because the location is easy to access, it is also good to watch the show at night! And next to our table are beautiful flowers, fresh grass, willows, pines and other beautiful trees planted around the basketball court!

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, after everyone happily ate and drank enough, the performance officially began under the auspices of two young male and female hosts in our village!

I remember the first thing to come on stage was the bamboo reed sheng band – my grandfather, they.

Dressed in our national costumes, they played music on the stage that I personally thought was ancient and mysterious!

Their music, after listening to it, always makes us all feel as if we are full of energy!

And the performance that our children are most looking forward to is the performance of Fibogo, a national legendary singer who came out of Nanhe Beng Village and was invited to perform in the village at that time!

He mainly performs as a soloist. At that time, a few days before the congress began, there were rumors that he was coming to our village to sing and perform for this gathering.

When he came to our scene in person on the day of the conference, the scene quickly became more enjoyable!

He sings very well, and he looks very upright and handsome!

When his songs became popular in our villages, my friends and I used to go to Magana's house and play them on DVD with the records of Fibogo's songs that my father bought. In the end, we all gathered together and sang his song happily!

Fibogo, as I recall, was the finale.

As soon as he took the stage, there was an instant tsunami in the venue, and my friends and I were even more excited!

He said some congratulatory messages to us on stage, and then sang his famous song "Lilac Girl" to the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis!

The lyrics of the song "Lilac Girl" are:

When the male protagonist Brunei was working in the fields, he looked up and saw a beautiful Anji female protagonist who was as beautiful as a flower and a goose fell into the goose, folding vegetables from the vegetable garden, talking and laughing with her friends on the road.

The male protagonist was deeply attracted by the gentle and elegant form of the female protagonist.,Until he got home, he still couldn't extricate himself.,Don't even go to work!

The man's mother was very worried when she saw him like that, so she went to ask his good friends who worked in the fields.

And the good friend of the male protagonist explained: "When we were working, we saw the girls who returned from the opposite vegetable garden. ”

After the male protagonist's mother understood the situation, she knew that eighty percent of his children were the third girls of the landlord's family who fell in love with the neighboring village, that is, the female protagonist.

The male owner's mother was helpless, but there was no way to go on like this, so she went to the heroine's father with a gift and explained the reason for the matter - hoping that he could let the heroine go and enlighten her child.

But in the end, he was ruthlessly rejected by the heroine's father. And he also instructed his eldest son and a maid: "In the future, you must watch Anji, and don't let her go out again!" ”

But it just so happened that this conversation was heard by the heroine who was painting in the peaceful sunlight on the balcony.

After the male protagonist's mother left sadly, the female protagonist chased after her and explained that she would help. So the heroine went home with the male owner's mother in disguise with the help of her sister!

When I arrived at the man's house, the man's mother called out to the man and said, "Look who's coming!" ”

After the male protagonist came out, the female protagonist took off the veil, so the two of them were instantly attracted to each other!

After that, the female protagonist persuaded the male protagonist with her heart: "Since ancient times, princes and generals, every one without exception has ......started from self-reliance and self-reliance."

The male protagonist was naturally moved by her heartfelt words. So he made a three-year covenant with the heroine: "After three years, I will marry you home beautifully!" ”

The female protagonist then said to the male protagonist: "Three years later, the day you come to marry me, you must hold a bouquet of lilacs." Because my father and grandfather also used a bouquet of lilacs to chase my mother and grandmother! The male protagonist naturally agreed!

Within three years, the male protagonist really achieved fame through entrepreneurship and with the help of the blessings of nobles! So he returned home.

When he got home, his parents came out to greet him.

His mother told him that the heroine's family had a happy event today, so the male protagonist ran from the car with a large bouquet of lilacs from the house to meet the heroine.

And after coming to the hostess's house, he saw that the heroine was gorgeously dressed, thinking that he didn't wait for him and married someone else, so he threw down the lilacs in his arms and ran out sadly.

After that, the female protagonist inadvertently saw the large bouquet of lilacs that the male protagonist threw on the ground, and her heart was full of doubts.

Soon after, the male owner's mother quickly went to find the female owner.

The male protagonist's mother came to the female protagonist's house and gave a sum of money to a female servant of the female protagonist's house, begging to see the female protagonist.

After the male owner's mother saw the female owner, she explained to her with tears in her eyes: "The male owner returned to his hometown today to find you, but you didn't keep your oath, and you were going to marry someone else, so he had the idea of committing suicide, and now he is going to kill himself in the forest, mountain, cliff and waterfall not far from your home!" ”

And after the heroine understood the situation, she took off her high heels, carried her skirt, and rushed to see the male protagonist.

After seeing the male protagonist, the male protagonist was very happy to see the female protagonist at first, and then turned around and asked the female protagonist sadly: "Why don't you wait for me?!" ”

The female protagonist wanted to step forward to explain, but the male protagonist signaled her not to come, otherwise she would jump off. So the heroine explained excitedly on the spot: "You misunderstood, it's my sister who is going to marry today!" ”

The male protagonist immediately turned around after hearing it, and looked at the female protagonist with great emotion. Then he picked up the heroine and spun around there.

In the end, the female protagonist took the male protagonist home and introduced him to her father. And the male protagonist also explained the ins and outs of the whole thing with the female protagonist's father.

The heroine's father listened to the male protagonist's explanation, and then carefully looked at the male protagonist in front of him, and then recognized him from the bottom of his heart!

When Fibogo finished singing this song, there was warm applause and cheers from all of us in the audience!

The final dance is when the adults in the audience dance together on or off the stage. Among them, Abigo can be described as the hot spot of the audience!

His dancing is novel and varied, and he even dances a space dance step!

At about three minutes before 12 o'clock in the evening, two male and female hosts came to the stage to host and deliver speeches.

Finally, close to ten seconds, the two of them asked everyone in the room to count down dozens of seconds together.

Ten seconds later, at the back of the stage, one beautiful dazzling fireworks burst out one after another! And my friends and I were also excited to quickly run to the close up to watch!

In the beautiful dazzling fireworks one after another, the successful conclusion of this big party was also announced!

In the end, the adults of our village were reluctantly saying goodbye and blessing to each other, while we children went home and fell asleep sweetly!!
