Chapter Eighty-Four: Singing
"I don't know how bad my heart is when I buy wood,
It's easy to choose wood, it's hard to choose a brother,
What about Brother?
Buy a bag of flower needles and sprinkle them along the road,
It's easy to find a needle, it's hard to find a sister,
Where's my sister?"
Zhao Fei was in a daze, half-awake and half-asleep, he listened to the crisp love song from the mountain beam, glanced out of the window a few times, the bright moon was in the sky, the sky was full of stars, it was only four o'clock, the Miao family had already gotten up, every household lit the lamp, and the smoke rose from the stilted upstairs, a busy scene. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info remembered that he had said last night that he wanted to learn mountain songs from Ran Huan, so he hurriedly got up, got dressed, took a stride, and jumped directly up the hill from the stilted building.
The Miao girl stood on the hill, glanced at him, and turned her face away: "Hmph, you're late!"
Zhao Fei was still sleepy, but as soon as he spoke, he woke up, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "This, this, you are too early! Of course, I am also to blame, the first time I lived in Miao Township, I was too excited last night, and I didn't fall asleep for a while, so I got up late!"
"Do you want your sweetheart to think?" Ran Huan said angrily.
This girl's guess is accurate, but you definitely don't believe it when I say it, he laughed a few times, and he was fooled.
"Thirteenth brother, our Miao love songs are simple and straightforward, no matter what you say, as long as you dare to sing, someone will dare to listen. The tunes are all the same, but it's not difficult to learn, and I'll teach you slowly on the road these days. The lecture began, and Ran Huan said: "The difficulty lies in the lyrics." These songs have been sung by our ancestors from generation to generation, and my mother can remember a thousand songs, but I can only remember more than 600 so far. I'll teach you everything I know, and you're going to have to memorize it!"
Six hundred, my mother! Lin Wanrong stuck out her tongue and retracted her head.
Ran Huan chuckled: "You can remember as much as you can, anyway, I don't expect you to sing Bailing!"
Zhao Fei shook his head and smiled, his eyes fell on her face, and when he saw that her eyes were wide open and bloodshot, he suddenly exclaimed: "Sister Ran Huan, you, you didn't rest last night?"
The Miao girl shook her head embarrassedly: "My mother wants to help me clean up my things, I want to prepare dry food for baked cakes, she hasn't rested all night, how can I sleep?
No wonder you got up so early, Zhao Fei suddenly became anxious, grabbed her and left: "Don't teach today, go back to sleep first!" I tell you that Sister Ran Huan, the body and bones are your own, no matter how many good things others say, it is useless, you cherish yourself is true. Do you understand?"
"Hmm!" Ran Huan's face was slightly red, and he smiled sweetly: "Thirteenth brother, I listen to you!"
Back in the house, Ran Huan quietly got into the room. Her father and mother had already gotten up, and they were a little amazed when they saw the guests wearing Miao costumes.
Ran Huan's mother smiled and said a few words, and her father translated: "Ran Huan's mother said, you wear Miao costumes, and you are also a handsome person from ten miles and eight towns!"
"Really?" The so-called handsome Miduo smiled when she heard this, and hurriedly clenched her fists: "Auntie is too polite, no matter how handsome I dress, I can't compare to my father's back then!"
Ran Huan's mother smiled and glanced at her husband a few times.
"Ran Huan, this girl!" Dad smiled bitterly, held Zhao Fei's hand tightly, and said earnestly: "Guest, along the way, I will trouble you to take care of Ran Huan and Ah Shan." ”
"Where, take care of each other!" Zhao Fei said unashamedly, in a unique tone of Jianghu people.
The old man shook his head and said: "The guests are too polite! Ah Shan Ranhuan and them are still children! But you are different, I can see when you beat the surnamed Wu, your hands are not pampered, they have carried knives!"
Zhao Fei was secretly shocked in his heart, there are many capable people in Miao Township! This old man is peaceful and inconspicuous on the outside, but he is subtle on the inside, no wonder he can become the leader of the Red Miao, with the help of such people, Miao Township can be governed well! Although my internal strength is gone, ordinary people don't want to get close to me.
"Don't worry, Daddy," he didn't dare to be contemptuous anymore: "I, Zhao, am not a good person, but I am definitely not a person who harms good people! I won't let Ran Huan and them be bullied!"
After saying a few words, he heard a soft jingle of silverware, and a Miao girl slowly walked out of the inner room, Zhao Fei glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment.
This Miao girl is wearing a brand-new Miao dress, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. She had just bathed, and the bright silver ornaments were strung into a shiny circle, clutching her long wet hair. Her head, neck, chest, and wrists were inlaid with silver ornaments everywhere, and the faint silver glow reflected her skin and her face like jade. She wore a white jade belt around her waist, and although she did not wear silver jewelry, she embroidered a pair of red butterflies in the middle, which was lively and lovely.
"Ran Huan, you are so beautiful!" Zhao Fei admired from the bottom of his heart. The dressed Miao girl blushed and hurriedly hid behind her mother.
"Of course!" Dad nodded, as if he was being praised for himself, and his face was very proud: "Our family Ran Huan is also a well-known handsome person in ten miles and eight towns!
Blind date, of course, is important. Zhao Fei snorted, full of doubts: "But, Dad, wearing so much silverware on the road, isn't that too ostentatious?!"
Daddy laughed: "Guest, don't you know the customs of the Miao family! We Miao people like silver jewelry, because it is as pure as the moon in the sky." As soon as our daughter was born, we had to save money for her. When it comes to major festivals and marriages, all the silver jewelry that has been accumulated for many years should be put on for her, and the more she wears, the more glorious she is, this is the rule!
Sure enough, after careful observation, most of the silver jewelry worn by Ran Huan has traces of wear, and it has obviously been passed down for many years. Seeing that her parents' eyes were red and sad, the Miao girl hurriedly said: "Daddy, mother, my daughter doesn't want a silver ring or a silver bracelet, I just hope that your two elders will live a long and healthy life, and we will always be together as a family." ”
Zhao Fei hurriedly echoed: "Auntie Daddy, Yilian is right, you can earn it again when the silver is gone, but happiness and health can't be bought with money! You believe me, the life of Miao Township will definitely get better! By the day Ran Huan gets married, maybe your family already has a lot of silver jewelry, and you can't even lift it!"
"Thirteenth brother-" Ran Huan stomped her feet in shame, and her father and mother were comforted by him, but they were also happy.
The atmosphere in the room was very good for a while.
