dance like a butterfly

With a large group of people watching, the car turned around, turned another street, and arrived at my door.

Rural people eat late, and it is time to eat when it is dark.

There are no street lights on the street, and the blurred snow light is dimly illuminating the light.The second brother pushed open the lightly covered front door, and our group stepped on the thin snow, passed the huge yard, and entered the back room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the father who was sitting on the top of the kang put down his rice bowl and looked up at us: "Junjun is back?"

I thank you.Maybe because he hasn't been in the ground for a long time, my dad's complexion is much better than before, and he looks a little fatter.

Haohao flashed out like a monkey, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa is good!"

My dad laughed: "Okay, okay." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, looked at Lao Lin, and then at me.

"This is Uncle Lin, it's..."

In fact, I was thinking along the way, if Lao Lin really came into my house, how should I introduce his identity to my family.But how much do I know about Lao Lin?At best, he is now just a kindred spirit who has no hostility towards me.But his status is noble, saying that he is my leader?No, I have never been a government servant; say he is Lao Han's friend?It's a friend who is a little too enthusiastic... I think it's not right after thinking about it, and I don't know how to continue. Who knows, before I can say anything, Lao Lin's hands have already stretched out, reaching out to my dad.My dad hesitated. He has been a farmer all his life. Who has he shaken hands with in this life?He looked at me as if asking for help, his hands were already held by Lao Lin very unnaturally.

"Brother, you raised a good son!"

Dad definitely hasn't figured out who Lao Lin is, but he is just guessing the other party's identity based on his decades of judgment on people.Indeed, Lao Lin has always lived a pampered life. His every move, no matter where he goes, no matter who he talks to, will immediately make the other party feel that he is not an ordinary person.

Dad was infected by Lao Lin's enthusiasm, and the honesty of the farmer made it inconvenient for him to ask who the other party was, and his face turned red in an instant, and he kept saying, "Okay, okay, okay!"

The door curtain was lifted, and the second sister-in-law came in.She smiled and said, "A visitor!"

I smiled and pointed to Lao Lin and said, "This is my second sister-in-law."

Lao Lin nodded to his second sister-in-law with a smile, and Hao Hao called out from the side: "Auntie!"

I told my second sister-in-law, "This is Uncle Lin, who works in the provincial government."

There was something in the eyes of the second sister-in-law that I couldn't understand, and she immediately smiled and said: "A rare visitor! Uncle Lin, don't think our house is small. If you don't think it's dirty, you can go to the kang. The kang is warm. Get us some food!"

Lao Lin said, "Stop sitting, I'm leaving now."

The second sister-in-law said, "Why don't you leave when it's time for dinner?"

"I'm afraid that the snow will fall heavily in a while, and the road will be difficult to walk." Lao Lin turned his face to my father and said, "Brother, I'm leaving."

Dad said: "Let's go after eating."

Lao Lin said repeatedly: "Don't eat, don't eat." Then he left the door.

The second brother kept silent, and followed everyone to take Lao Lin to the door, watching Lao Lin get into the car and drive away in the twilight.

The second sister-in-law took Haohao's hand and said with a smile, "Are you Lao Han's son?"

Hao Hao nodded with a smile.The second sister-in-law said: "I can tell at a glance that you really look like your father."

Back in the house, the second sister-in-law asked Haohao to sit on the kang.The little guy was not polite, took off his shoes, stretched his hands into the bed, and said repeatedly: "It is warm on the kang, much more comfortable than an air-conditioned house."

Everyone laughed.Not long after, the second sister-in-law brought the rice again. The porridge was golden and oily corn porridge, and there were no other dishes, homemade celery puree and water vegetables, a plate of vinegared potato shreds, and a plate of scrambled eggs.Hao Hao saw a plate of steamed sweet potatoes, so he pinched them with his hands, who knew that the sweet potatoes were just out of the pot, so he quickly threw them away.

This unrecognizable guy made everyone laugh again.

The second sister-in-law said: "The first time Haohao comes to our house, he will play for a few more days."

Haohao glanced at me: "It depends on my fourth uncle staying for a few days."

The second elder brother said, "You just play tricks on yourself, don't worry about others."

Hao Hao said: "Just now, I saw that there was a lot of excitement over there, and it seems that there is a shadow puppet show."

I remembered seeing Howe just now.I asked my second brother, "Did you invite a theater troupe from the province?"

"No, but I invited one or two famous actors. I heard that the one who sang Zhou Ren's Return to the Mansion won the first prize."

That's right, the second brother was talking about Hao.

After dinner, Haohao asked me to take him to watch the excitement.I hesitated for a moment, but came out anyway.

The family involved in the incident was considered wealthy in the village. The eldest son was a contractor for a brick and tile factory, and the second son was a contractor for construction work in the provincial capital.My old lady is traveling westward with a crane. She is over 80 years old, and it is considered a happy funeral.Rural people are very particular about this, even if they eat and dress simply when they are alive, they make a fuss when they die.Counting from the old man to the head, all those who can run and move in the village go to help, and eat like a big family for three days.In the evening, there are Qin opera, shadow puppetry, and even singing and dancing in a greenhouse.Anyway, how lively it is.

People in the city will live and do things frugally.Haohao must have not seen such a lively scene for a long time, he said after a while: "Fourth Uncle, what do you think the people in that room are doing?"

"The layman is chanting scriptures to save the dead!" I said.

After a while he said again: "Fourth Uncle, why is there only an old man who sings shadow puppets? Why are you still knocking on the bowl?"

For Dongfu's Wanwan Tune and Old Tune, the combination of real and fake voices, the copper bowls for percussion and the yueqin for playing make the shadow puppetry in Huaxian area more individual.Haohao's question is not easy to answer, so I can only say: "If you look carefully, you will naturally understand."

From time to time, neighbors came to say hello to me, and I finally understood the purpose of Lao Lin's stay next to me just now.

It's not that the villagers are not simple, nor is it that the villagers are all snobbish.People who have traveled through states, counties, and provincial capitals have suffered all kinds of hardships outside, and those who have seen their faces know how warm and cold people are, and deeply know that "there are people in the court who are easy to handle."In the past, Lao Zuo, even Tian Zhenzhen, and even my beloved Lao Han drove to my house repeatedly. The villagers didn’t know the truth, and they just envied me. Now, Lao Lin’s farewell, to them, For my understanding, it has risen to another level.

I know that in our village, the only ones with private cars are the old Wang's family who had a funeral today.The second son of the old Wang family made a lot of money contracting construction work in Xi'an, and bought a Santana 2000 himself, but compared with the eldest Wang, he really pales in comparison.Boss Wang not only made use of his second child's contacts to sell surprisingly well, but his real fortune stemmed from selling cultural relics privately.

There is a saying that "talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, generals in the north, and the emperor buried in the loess of Shaanxi." It is an exaggeration to say that when working in the territory of Shaanxi, Qin bricks, Han tiles and glazed tiles should be bowed down.In fact, there are many emperors of the Han and Tang Dynasties buried in Xianyang in the Weihe River Basin, many ruins of the generals of the Three Kingdoms in Qishan Fengxiang, Qin Shihuang was buried in Lintong, and in Hua County, although there is only one famous Guo Ziyi from the Tang Dynasty, but, In the tombs in the deep soil of Hua County, there are many burial vessels, which are said to be from the Zhou Dynasty.It is unknown how the boss of the Wang family made such a move, and how much money he got out of it.Now that the old lady is returning home on a crane, she has called Fangyuan's most popular and hardest-working drummer, a shadow puppet show, a theater troupe, and a popular niche who walks acupoints, and it makes sense.

Although I am sometimes arrogant outside, but since I know what kind of person I am and know my shortcomings, when I return to the village, my honest and responsible character will naturally show.When you enter the village, you are respectful and respectful like a monk entering a Buddhist monastery. Uncles, uncles, uncles, grandpas and aunts are well-behaved.

Seeing the neighbors gathered to say hello to me, talking about Chinese New Year, looking at some people's provocative eyes, even though I feel uncomfortable, I have to keep coping with it.

When I turned around, I found that Haohao was gone!

I am shocked.

This child, who is not familiar with the place of birth, has no honesty, why is he always messing around like a monkey!Although there are not many people in our village with more than 100 households, today the richest family in our village has an affair, and there are so many people invited, it is inevitable that people from ten villages and eight villages will come to watch. In nearly a thousand people!What if they were squeezed out, kidnapped and trafficked?

Thinking of this, I get goosebumps all over my body.

"Haohao, Haohao——", I shouted loudly.

"Did you call the broken baby who came with you just now? He went to the concierge of the Wang family." Someone answered me.

I pushed aside the crowd, but there was no trace of Haohao.

"Hao Hao, Hao Hao—"

In front of the six tall buildings of the old Wang's house, two bands of drummers were competing with each other. The one had just finished playing "It's Hard to Say Goodbye", and the other started playing "Mother".Western percussion instruments and traditional suona are all used, whichever is lively.The two groups of people each formed a square formation, and each of them was so shrunken that their cheeks were flushed.

I was so anxious that I wanted to block everyone's mouths and make everyone's ears stand up.If Haohao is lost, what can I tell Lao Han!

Turning around again, he found a man squatting in the corner of the Gel, and next to the table of the drummer who was watching the player, Hao Hao was playing a musician's trombone.

Out of breath, I reached out and patted him on the back.

"You monkey, why are you running around? You scared me to death, what if you lose it?"

The monkey stood up with a playful smile: "How can it be, Uncle Fourth, do you think I'm a fool? It would be a miracle if I lost it."

The two of us were talking, but Boss Wang walked over.

Boss Wang, who was wearing a white filial robe and a filial cloth on his head, saw me and greeted me with a smile: "Xiaojun is back, when did you come back? Come, come, come in and have a drink."

I didn't intend to go to Wang's house, but now I was bumped into by Boss Wang, and I couldn't go in if I didn't go in.

Boss Wang dragged me to drink, while listening to my perfunctory words, he smiled and said some polite words that didn't matter.

Haohao asked beside him, "Fourth Uncle, why are you called Xiaojun?"

Boss Wang said, "What else is it called Xiaojun?"

Haohao didn't leave, and muttered loudly: "Fourth uncle, when I entered the house just now, I heard my grandfather call you 'Junjun', and now someone calls you 'Xiaojun', what else do you call me besides 'Xiaohui'?" ah?"
