Chapter 33: The Rice Tea Festival

A few days later, it's time for a traditional festival on the slope: the Rice Tea Festival. Every year on this day, the villagers gather together to make and drink rice tea, and this year is no different. Unlike previous years, in the past, it was held spontaneously by the villagers, usually in small groups. This year, it was held by the manor, and the location was selected in the village committee and the Dudupo Square, and all the villagers of the Dudupo and all the guests who came to the Dudupo sightseeing tour were participated. You can imagine how lively and festive it was that day, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the scene of that day with a sea of people.

What is particularly interesting is that Tong Huihui and Yu Yangwei chose this day to hold their wedding ceremony, and the location was at the Ferry Slope Square. The big stage of the people on the square is the scene of the ceremony, the background hangs a big Xi character, and a large couplet is hung on both sides.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, a steady stream of people drinking rice tea gathered in the square. It was also at this time that the wedding ceremony of Tong Huihui and Yu Yangwei also opened.

As the background music sounded, the hosts Tong Hua and Huo Gang walked onto the stage from both sides of the stage respectively, and their heroic dresses won thunderous applause from the audience.

Inviting Tong Hua and Huo Gang to be the hosts was a special arrangement for Tong Huihui. Tethering them together is by no means for no reason, it is definitely for a purpose.

After the cannon fired, the host began.

Huo Gang: It is the charming fragrance of roses that brings us together;

children's flowers; It is the intoxicating sweetness of the love story that brings us here;

Huo Gang: Today is a festival for the heart;

The bride and groom bow down! In the end, they bowed to each other.

Huo Gang: Now I invite the two newlyweds to show their love tokens, walk into each other's hearts, and wear a lifelong commitment for each other.

The two newlyweds wore tokens to each other, then clasped their hands tightly together and held them high to show to all the guests.

Another round of applause of blessings.

Tong Hua: Okay, let's ask the angel to send rice tea to the two newcomers, and invite the two newcomers to drink rice tea to each other. This thick rice tea indicates that you have a strong love, and it also means that the two of you will be connected and become one from now on.

The two angels solemnly offered rice tea to the bride and groom, who exchanged it after taking a sip. This is called heart-to-heart, the meaning of heart-to-heart.

Huo Gang: Drink it, drink this bowl of tea, and stay together in this life and this life; After drinking this bowl of tea, happiness will last forever. (Facing the audience) I shouted one, two, three, and everyone accompanied today's newcomers to drink this bowl of rice tea that represents happiness.

The shouts of the two hosts sounded in the square: one, two, three. There was a chorus of echoes, laughter, applause, and screams...... There is also the sound of background music and the sound of cannons at the end of the ceremony, all of which converge into a huge torrent that resounded through the sky and lasted for a long time.

When the square gradually calmed down, the tea-picking song "Troubled Spring" suddenly sounded again:

Yo yo ho hey in the garden

Ahh

Fresh and simple

Jie Zhi Lige camellia

Yiyi, Yizi

……

The lantern display team celebrates the start of the rice tea festival square performance.

Soon, it was noon, and noon was the hottest time of the day, and it was also the most exhausting time of the day. The villagers and guests who drank the rice tea dispersed one after another.
