Chapter 29
"......" Seeing Zheng Ming coming in, Zheng Zong, who was quenching iron, smiled knowingly, nodded lightly, and then put down the matter at hand.
At the moment, the two looked at each other and smiled, then walked to the "wedding table" next to them and began to post the New Year's weather.
Smack, smack!
In the sound of firecrackers, the year old is removed, and every household lights a new candle. Before the time came, there were already naughty children who lit Hsinchu and cheered in their yards.
......
At the beginning of the new year, whether it is writing Spring Festival couplets or mixing paste, it is nothing more than to leave the New Year and welcome the new year, and give up a beautiful vision. But see: the red lantern hangs high, and the happy red union welcomes thousands of families. I saw the red silk dancing in the sky, and the red cage reflected under the moon.
This night is destined to be sleepless, and no one wants to sleep. Even the naughty children gathered together to play...... I don't care about the scolding of my family at all.
On that night, some people burn incense and worship the gods to wait for the happy new year, some people bathe and change clothes to welcome the new year, and some people have a feast to enhance each other's feelings...... Looking around the homes of Yiyuan Village, there is no one to stop - they are either rolling noodles to worship the gods, or full of dumplings. If someone goes back to someone's house, they will leave more corresponding dishes and chopsticks, not only to wish him, but also to wait for them to return home.
The New Year blooms overnight.
"Hahaha......"
On the night of the New Year, before the night is deep, there are already people who go to other places to pay New Year's greetings. There are no gifts in the village, most of them wish each other, and because they are not together, they mostly talk about each other's New Year's greetings. And Zheng Ming's family also participated in it early.
......
"Li Gao, at the beginning of the new year, I wish you good health and a few more years. "Youzi joked during the New Year's greetings, which made Li Gao angry and shouted in the courtyard to chase around.
This statement is Ziyu's "innocence". And the reason why he joked like this was mostly instructed and deceived by his peers.
"Sincerely thank the master for his teachings, Zihua will remember the teachings in his heart......" In the academy, Zihua bowed to his master Meng Licheng, which made the master and his father smile with relief.
During this time, Master Chen had returned home drunk early......
......
"Haha...... Grandpa Sun, then in the future, Xiaobai and Xiaoxiaobai will also have to worry about grandpa taking care of them-" Ziyu smiled and saluted Sun Ling Tang, and replied with a smile.
......Seeing this, the old doctor Sun Lingtang couldn't help but be stunned, but in front of Ziyu and his elders, it was naturally not easy to push back, so he had to smile and say, "Everything ...... I listened to what Ziyu said......"
......
Tonight, the father and his son went from house to house to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts......
And Zheng Ming's first stop was the master's house.
Zheng Ming bowed deeply to his master, did not say anything, and when he only stood up, he smiled with relief when he saw his master.
When the Master gave him a scripture book, he looked at his father in amazement. But after seeing his father smile and nod, he bowed deeply to the master with a smile, causing the master to stroke his beard and smile......
When Ling Chen arrived, there was a big feast in the village.
Tweet ——!
Smack——!
On the night of the New Year, before the time of the arrival, the village has a new feast, and there are fireworks to greet it. Seeing that row of noodles, it can be more solemn and festive than when Youzi was born, although the scene is similar to that of the ordinary.
And see: Mr. in the chief inscription Spring Festival couplet, every Ying Ying smiled and received the gift from every household, and then returned a pair of couplets of Zhu Xing, or a pair of ink treasures that are the meaning of the book. For the children, each person has a bamboo pen.
See you again: The village chief kept shouting at Zhang Luo and everyone to prepare for the New Year's banquet, and he himself drank and respected the virtuous, and he couldn't control the "guys" to have fun, which can be described as a twist and turn and slow progress......
According to the custom of Yiyuan Village, before the early morning of the child's time, it is the time to say goodbye. At midnight in the morning, it is the orientation time.
When bidding farewell to the old days, everyone should decorate the courtyard after dinner, and then set up a collective banquet in the village to welcome the new year and participate in the grand event.
In the new year's room, when the whole village has a feast, the sons greet the New Year. And no matter how old or young, they must all wish the New Year to their elders one by one. The elders should also return the salute to the younger ones one by one to express their blessings and expectations.
Seeing that Master Zici smiled and handed over the bamboo pen, Zheng Ming smiled warmly, bowed down one by one, took the bamboo pen, and smiled softly: "Master Xie, ......"
The master stroked his beard and smiled, nodding slightly, his brow full of relief and pride.
Papa, papa......
Scold!
Bang ——!
Tweet ——!
There is no one year old in the sound of the dismissal, and the firecrackers and sheng are Pepsi. When the sound of the bombing of the New Year rises and falls, everyone also returns one by one, and as for the banquet on the full road, it will be unloaded after the New Year.
"Goodbye......"
"Wow ......"
Tonight, Zheng Ming returned with a full load, and Zheng Zong also gave a lot.
On the way home.
"Whew!" Zheng Ming happily licked a dragon beard candy and held his father's right hand with a smile.
Zheng Zong was also smiling and holding a bunch of gifts.
After a while, the two of them came to a shop and saw that it was full of all kinds of red lanterns of various sizes.
Seeing this, the father and son couldn't help but smile at each other, stepped forward one by one, each chose to pick up a lantern, and smiled at each other......
Chirp - bang bang - bang -
At this time, the sound of fireworks suddenly burst out, and a grand smallpox exploded in the night sky.
This spark came from the banquet place.
"Ha ......"
Seeing the beautiful scenery ......of this good day, the father and son couldn't help but look at each other and smile, although silent, but gentle and soft.
When the two left and returned home, another round of fire bamboo ascended to the dragon, and they sang in unison under the moon.
......
Bamboo Forest Annex.
The Chinese New Year's Eve was deep, and although I saw thousands of lights in the distance, I didn't see the sound of artillery fire here.
At this time, Zheng Zong's father and son had just installed the lantern at the door.
"Wow ......"
When the red lantern was hung, the father and son couldn't help but smile at each other, hugged the son's shoulder, and walked into the house.
In the backyard, there was a festive firecracker, and its fire suddenly ignited on its own at this time.
Bang Bang ......
At the end of the year, it will be gone.
......
The night was long, and few people were willing to sleep peacefully.
Adults, gather all night to drink, don't care about the chaos of the world.
The children, with three beast pets, gathered around to make trouble, causing the village to be quiet, chickens and ducks jumping.
The candle of the night is a fire.
The bamboo forest is like a fence, cutting off the lights in the distance, but it can't hide the floating of people's hearts.
Bang!
In the house, only the crisp sound of iron reverberates.
Zheng Ming sat silently at the head of the bed, and beside him, there was a cloth bag wrapped in it, which was gently grasped by his left hand. And I saw in his right hand that he was holding his father's wine bottle, which was green and decayed, and the tassel was tied to the rope.
Because the lamp was not lit, even if the moonlight poured in through the window, his face could not be seen, let alone his body. The things at the head of the bed can only be seen in a general shape.
Bang!
The hall was dim, and although there was a fire that covered it with light and heat, it was still colder than the season.
Qiang......
......
Following.
When the sky was slightly bright, Zheng Ming had already woken up, and when he came out of the bedroom and saw the residual temperature of the anvil, he knew that his father was no longer in the room, so he was silent, and turned around and walked to the backyard.
He carried a package in one hand and held a sword that had been with him for three years. It was just an ordinary wooden sword, and it was blunt, but after three years of training, it had gradually opened its edge. This blade is opened by practice, not cast.
Outside the gazebo, in front of the stone table.
Zheng Zong stood here with his hands in his hands. He turned his back to Zheng Ming, and on the stone table in front of him was a long sword with a sheath.
Zheng Ming walked out with his hands on the door wall, and when he saw it, he stopped there.
Seeing that his father was silent, he was silent, and turned his eyes to the long sword on the table.
The sword, four feet long and three inches wide, is made to be exquisite, and the dragon spits the blade. This sword, wooden handle wooden lattice, wooden sheath without tassels, and the handle is brown sandalwood, also up to three inches in diameter;
But from Zheng Ming's point of view, only the hilt of its sword can be seen.
Seeing this sword, Zheng Ming was silent at a glance, and then lowered his head gloomily.
Phew!
At this moment, Zheng Zong suddenly waved his right hand forward, Zheng Ming only had time to shrink his pupils, and the wooden sword in the sheath in his hand flew out, instantly stabbing deeply into the old willow tree!
Boom!
The wooden sword, with its handle, did not enter, and poked its head out from behind. It pierced between the two palm prints, causing the entire tree to still shake.
At this time, Zheng Zongcai slowly put his right hand behind him again, although Zheng Ming was still shocked and alarmed in his heart.
"You have been practicing this sword for three years. Zheng Zong suddenly spoke, but his words were a little flat.
Hearing this, Zheng Ming was stunned, and then turned his eyes to look.
The back is like a mountain. It's both heavy and majestic, but also a little distant.
"From the day you forged me, it has lost its meaning. Speaking of this, Zheng Zong paused slightly, and then changed his words suddenly, and said, "You, very good...... But it's not enough. ”
Zheng Ming was silent and slowly lowered his eyes.
Meanwhile.
"Let's go!" Words and deeds went out together, only to see Zheng Zong suddenly flick his sleeves, and the wooden sword on the stone table flew towards Zheng Ming on its own.
Hearing the sound, Zheng Ming was startled and his eyes widened, but seeing that the flying sword was in front of him, he had to reach out and grab it!
Boom!
The moment the sword was in hand, Zheng Ming's pupils suddenly shrank, and the huge force carried on it could not be easily offset even by him! He was repelled a few steps, and then stopped the sword and slid backwards for a distance of three feet, so that he could resist the retreat! And the sword, the weight of the hand, was even more out of thin air, almost making him kneel on one knee, and he had to hold on to the sinking hand on the wall to grasp it.
As soon as the retreat was blocked, Zheng Ming immediately raised his head, but when he looked over, he saw his father like the back of a mountain, and the door also separated him from a long distance.
"Father......" Zheng Ming said silently in his heart, and then slowly stood up. Here, his heart is also dim, people are also painful, and what flashes in his eyes is nostalgia and hard to break.
The sword was heavy, but it wasn't as good as what he had in mind. But his father, as always with his hands on his back, stood there without moving, not even the hem of his clothes and hair, let alone looking at him......
After a long silence, and he couldn't wait for his father's glance, he lowered his eyes sadly, feeling extremely lost in his heart, and a little struggling.
Time passed without words, and when he looked up, he realized that a short time had passed.
Looking at the majestic back, Zheng Ming couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, but after all, he was also silent.
That glance was deep and long, and it also symbolized his determination.
He slowly took two steps back against the wall, and when that glance passed, he lost any nostalgia and turned resolutely and walked towards the front yard.
Click, click......
Zheng Zong only stood there, and there was a faint sound of footsteps, which became more and more compact and frequent, because he gradually quickened his steps.
When he changed from walking to running, and rushed forward from running, Zheng Zongduwei never moved. Only the wine bottle that he hung on his waist tossed and turned as he ran, and let out a faint thought.
When Zheng Ming ran out of the house and ran from the front yard at the other end to the south road, he never moved.
From beginning to end, he never looked back at Zheng Ming. He only stood there, and when the man returned, a light breeze blew in his ears......
That strand of hair may be a symbol of companionship and longing.
I don't know when I will see you again.
