Good mountains, good water, good people

As soon as it got dark, the lanterns hanging all over the village were lit up.

On this day, both the elderly and children in the village had an early dinner and went out to watch the lanterns outside the village.For the children in the village, except for the day of the Chinese New Year, which is the busiest day in the village, that is the day of the Lantern Festival.

The people who lived in Village Chief Gu's house knew that Yunxi Village had lanterns to watch today. After dinner, everyone was going to go out from Village Chief Gu's house to watch the lanterns.

After dinner in the evening, Gu Changning was full of joy and prepared to take Senior Brother Qin and everyone out to see the lanterns in their village. When he heard the head of their village, Gu, say that he was asked to carry the dragon lantern, he was completely confused. Go?" When did he sign up?

"You go, you were not at home in previous years, but you are at home this year, so you must go." Village head Gu himself was going, and his two sons also wanted to go.If the young men don't carry the dragon lanterns, do they have to let the old people in the village carry them all the time?

Needless to say, the village head Gu of their family must have reported his name!

"..." Gu Changning, he was powerless to refute, "You are the most handsome today, you have the final say."

Originally, he wanted to take Senior Brother Qin to watch the lanterns in their village, but he turned into a dragon lantern bearer...! ! !

Since the name was reported by his father, he knew that there was no way to change it.

Looking at Senior Brother Qin with concern in his eyes, it was simply too sad. Did he... woooooo... He wanted to go to see the lantern with Senior Brother Qin ahhhhhhh!But at this moment, Gu Changning still had to endure his grief and tell Senior Brother Qin and his juniors that he could no longer go to see the lanterns with everyone.

"Dragon Lantern? Is it fun? Can we go there?"

"No, only people from our village can."

The junior juniors are still a little bit eager to try, and want to help carry the dragon lantern, but it's a pity that they are not from their village, so they can't carry the dragon lantern.

Gu Changning led everyone out of their house, but he was about to stop at the entrance of the ancestral hall. He wanted to go into the ancestral hall and prepare for the Dragon Lantern Tour with everyone, "I'm going to wait here, you go elsewhere first Go and have a look, you can start from the village head, and I'll send you a message later when I'm done here."

"Okay." Qin You knew that every village had different customs, and after knowing that young people were going to carry dragon lanterns, he was a little bit looking forward to seeing young people dancing dragon lanterns.

Facing the man with a playful look, Gu Changning glared at him, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!

Qin You smiled, and led the juniors away first.

Master Gao and his group had already gone far away, and the two groups walked forward one after the other, and they could see many hanging lanterns along the way.

Looking at the back of the pedestrian who left, Gu Changning took his brother into the ancestral hall. At this time, there were already many people in the ancestral hall.

On this day, in addition to watching lanterns, their village also had lion and dragon dances.

The dragon lanterns in their village are made up of lanterns. The dragon lanterns are carried by males in their village. Every household must have at least one male. There can be a few more males.

The person carrying the dragon head is a respectable old man selected from the village. The dragon head is relatively heavy. It takes a certain amount of physical strength to carry it from the village head to the village tail. If the old man is too old to carry the dragon head, he will Find the eldest son of the family to replace.It's just that many young people in the village have gone out to work in recent years, so the person who carries the dragon head may not necessarily be the old man's own son, but may also be a nephew or a younger generation. Outsiders came instead.

Last year, the person who carried the dragon head was chosen by their grandfather, and in the end, their village chief Gu took the place of carrying the dragon head.This year, another virtuous old man in the village was chosen, and the old man's son replaced him.

A road of lanterns extends from the entrance of their village to the road inside the village. It is covered with beautiful lanterns with colorful paintings on them. The wicks inside are lit up. The lanterns along the way pass like a lit like the Milky Way.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"Are these lanterns made by the people in their village? It's really incredible!"

It was the first time for people from the city to see the lanterns in Yunxi Village, and they were surprised to see a road full of lanterns.Several young people took out their mobile phones to take pictures one after another, and forcibly pulled their senior brothers into the camera, and took several group photos with them.

Qin You was compelled to be dragged by the juniors to take a few photos. He also took his own mobile phone and took several photos of the hanging lanterns, and one of them was his own. The photo of himself was sent to the young man's cell phone.I picked a lantern that looked more beautiful, sent it to Moments, edited a paragraph of text and sent it: Happy Lantern Festival!

After posting on Moments, he continued to look at the lanterns and took pictures of some of the more beautiful lanterns.

The message sent to the young man received a reply quickly, with only one sentence: [You are so handsome! 】

Then another photo was sent over there, which seemed to be a chaotic scene in their ancestral hall.

Knowing that the young man might be busy at the moment, Qin You sent him a sentence, [You are busy with your work, send me a message when you are finished, and I will find you. 】

【it is good. 】

The two ended their chat.

Here, Gu Changning put on the red trousers brought by his brother and put them on over his trousers. The trousers everyone wears today are distributed uniformly, and everyone has a dragon lantern, except for the dragon head and the dragon tail. Besides, the dragon bodies they took were all the same.

crackling-

At eight o'clock sharp, firecrackers sounded at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and the sound of gongs and drums sounded. Two rows of lions opened the way outside, followed by long dragons.After leaving the gate of the ancestral hall, head towards the entrance of the village, and the last one to come out is Longwei.

Gu Changning walked in the middle of the team carrying the dragon lantern, followed by his younger brother.

The dragon lanterns were carried out one after another, forming a long dragon, shining brightly in the dark night.

The adults and children in the village followed the long dragon, and the children were cheering.

"It seems to be the sound of gongs and drums?" A few juniors just came to the entrance of the village when they heard a voice coming towards them. Soon the sound of gongs and drums came to their side, followed by lions and Long queue, everyone stood on the side of the road one after another.

Qin You also stood on the side of the road watching with his juniors. After the lion passed by, there was a dragon lantern being carried. When the young man passed in front of him, he recognized his young man at a glance.Gu Changning also noticed the man standing on the side of the road looking at him, holding the dragon lantern in one hand, and waved to the man with a smile.

One after another, the lanterns formed a long dragon.

The team made a turn at the entrance of the village, then went back to the village, walked from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and finally returned to their ancestral hall.

Walking down in a circle, if the old man is not so physically strong, he will be too tired to lift the dragon lantern at the end.However, most of the people's physical strength is still good, and everyone successfully completed this journey of walking the dragon lantern.

After taking off the red pants on the outside and giving them to his elder brother to take to the person who reclaimed the pants, Gu Changning took out his mobile phone and asked the man, 【Where are you?I will look for you. 】

[I'm almost at the gate of your ancestral hall, wait for me to find you. 】

Gu Changning stood at the gate of their ancestral hall, and it didn't take long to see Senior Brother Qin bringing a few juniors over.So they're going on a date with a bunch of light bulbs? ...Oh, no, he brought one himself.

"How's it going, have you finished watching the lanterns? Is it not bad?" Gu Changning went over to say hello to Senior Brother Qin and the juniors.

Several young juniors all expressed their feelings and understandings after seeing the lanterns that day.

"Would you like to continue watching? Are you hungry? How about we go to town for a late-night snack?" In their village, there were also people selling sugar water barbecues today, but there was nothing else to eat, Gu Changning asked everyone Views.

"Brother, shall we go?" Of course the younger brothers wanted to go outside.

Sure enough, Senior Brother Qin lived up to expectations and nodded, "Then let's go together."

"Let's go then. I happen to have a car. You can drive your car together. It's big enough for the rest of us. I don't know where Master Gao and the others are. Are you going to have supper with us? I'll make a call. Just ask." Since everyone is going out for supper, there are already too many people, so it doesn't matter if there are more.

Gu Changning didn't have Master Gao's phone number here, so he asked Brother Qin and the others, "Does any of you have Master Gao's phone number?"

"I have, I'll call." Qin You took out his mobile phone, called Master Gao, and hung up after saying a few words.He said to the young man who was waiting for his answer: "Master Gao said they will come too, let's wait a while."

"Okay, then let's wait." Gu Changning called his mother and told the family.

They didn't wait long until Master Gao and his party arrived.

Master Gao and the others also drove over in two vans, and the four cars went out to their town together.Gu Changning took everyone to Boss Cai's store. This day coincided with the Lantern Festival, and there were more people eating in Boss Cai's store than when they came back last time, and there were no seats left.

Gu Changning asked everyone to wait, and he went to Boss Cai to discuss, "Boss Cai, can you still arrange a seat? I have a dozen or twenty friends here."

"Can I set up a big table for you outside?" Boss Cai asked.

Gu Changning asked everyone's opinions, and everyone said it was no problem, so he replied: "Yes."

After the guests nodded and agreed, Boss Cai asked the staff to carry two large tables outside, put together a large table, spread tablecloths, bowls and chopsticks, and chairs, and quickly arranged the seats.

Everyone sat down one by one.
