Chapter 412: The red lantern hangs high.
The children were chattering together and immediately became a group. You talked to each other and everyone reported to Fu Bao about the things in the village, and they also had a common topic.
Yan Zheqing and Yan Yongning were surrounded by the village chief and the young people, and they walked toward the village together. Zimozi greeted the coachman and guards and rode into the village first.
Grandma Yan has not been back for so long, and she has become a favorite of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She has been embraced and moved forward, with only the children lagging behind.
The village chief turned around and urged them: "There are a lot of things to do when we go back. Are you hungry? Hurry."
Then he turned to Yan Zheqing and his son: "We will set the table immediately when we get back. You must not have eaten."
"Why do you still have to set up a banquet? Just eat some porridge and steamed buns in the morning."
Yan Zheqing felt that setting up the table early in the morning was too grand.
"How can that be done? You agreed to go home last night and kill two pigs yesterday. Fortunately, someone came back to report that they couldn't come back last night, otherwise they would all be stewed in the pot. But everyone ate the pigs last night. Pork dishes.
If you don't eat today, you will smell it. When you come back, you will ignore it and don't listen to us. We have two meals today, and we will have a good drink. "
Only then did I know that the villagers had been waiting to welcome them last night. If they had not been intercepted in the county seat, they would have been drinking and eating meat in the village last night.
A relatively healthy clan elder also came out with you, and he continued: "Yes, yes, there is no shortage of pork. Now the village's public school also raises more than a dozen pigs, which are fed by the elderly and children. , I plan to kill them all this time, and put them all on flowing water mats in the next few days."
Seeing how well the village chief and clan members had arranged it, the two of them had no choice but to say thank you and not postpone it any longer.
But Yan Zheqing still said one more thing: "Everyone's wishes are accepted, but we have raised dozens of pigs in the village in the town to prepare for the wedding banquet. Please don't kill any more pigs in the village next. Keep it and sell it to the children and the elderly for pocket money.”
This was all agreed upon with Chu Chu. When the time came, Zhuangzi would release the living creatures in the space and bring them back to the village for the villagers to have a good meal. He did not want the villagers to spend too much money.
"No matter what, there are five people in the village. Don't be polite. It was all agreed upon in a meeting. Everyone in the village is happy. The running water mat will be set up for at least five days. Don't worry about not being able to finish the pork. Everyone We’re all planning to open up and eat!”
"Yes, we are also preparing for the summer harvest early next month. It's just time for everyone to replenish their strength."
"Hahaha"
With this said, it was even harder for them to refuse. They could only say that they would take care of the rest, and they would just let the villagers pick all the vegetables.
This time, the Yan family is having great joy, and according to the custom of Qingliu County, the number of people who come to celebrate the occasion is probably many times more than those in the capital.
After all, there are too many relatives and friends in the nearby villages. According to the custom in the village, if you come to your doorstep, you are a guest, so there is no reason to extrapolate.
Moreover, since Yan Yongyi became the mayor of this town, everyone in the villages would know that it was their family that held the wedding ceremony?
Those who have cooperated with Taohua Village in the past, or those who are now studying at Yan Shuxiang Academy, the elderly living in the nursing home, and their relatives and friends have to come here because of the news, and they are all acquaintances when they meet.
Moreover, it is holiday now, which is the peak season for tourists to visit Peach Blossom Village. Visitors who come then do not need to set up a long table banquet. They can just eat at the flowing table, which can be regarded as repaying their love for Peach Blossom Village.
According to the rules of Shiliba Village, the running water banquet actually does not cost much. Generally, a table consists of three bowls of meat and vegetables, one soup, and a few vegetables, steamed buns and rice.
But for now, without breaking the bank, every village is learning from Peach Blossom Village. Although they cannot all become tourist villages, they have learned to grow a lot of things and can afford to sell them. Their lives are much better than those two years ago. few.
There are also many people from various villages who come to the Yan family to work as part-time and long-term workers, so naturally there are not many of them missing.
Most of the villagers now have to help with work. In the past few days, I heard that they are coming back to hold weddings, build roads, and bury memorial arches. No one is idle, so there is no reason to let them go hungry.
Yan Yongyi has already made a big sign. When the time comes, he will ask Erlang to write a big no-fee gift on red paper and just post it.
What the Yan family means is that they only want the blessings of the villagers, and they want to be lively. Treating the villagers to a flowing feast can be regarded as repaying the support and help the villagers have given to the Yan family along the way.
And they have also thought that when they return to the capital, Yan Yongyi will donate a sum of money to the village in the name of their Yan family for the expansion of the academy and the renovation of the ancestral hall, which can be regarded as doing something good for the village.
In the future, part of the repair costs will be donated from the income of Dama Mountain every year, so that all villagers will benefit.
Taohua Village is their roots, and they should do some good things for the village and clan, but they don't want to be too public about it.
The children took turns taking over the lion, and it danced all the way to the drying ground in the village. The old people and children who had not been greeted just now also gathered around. They were cooking vegetables and doing chores and couldn't move their hands away. They just greeted them loudly.
Suddenly there was a pause again, and the children who were tired of the lion dance could take a rest, and the four lions could just take turns to dance.
Even Hongying and Yan Yuge got started, but they couldn't dance properly, and even the people behind them were affected.
After staying there for a long time, after greeting them all, the village chief directed the family to go to the Yan clan's ancestral hall.
The lion and the children were still at the front of the team, followed by the two Master Yans.
The Yan clan's ancestral hall has been renovated. The gate has been rebuilt with blue bricks at some time, making the courtyard appear taller and more majestic. The four characters on the door have also been redrawn to make them more conspicuous.
Lanterns and red silk were specially hung at the highest positions on both sides of the beam at the door.
The bright red couplet runs from top to bottom, almost touching the floor. It is deliberately made larger and longer. Judging from the font, it should be the handwriting of Master Pan and Master Song.
Two water signs made of wood were erected on both sides. On one of them, the names of father and son were written on big red paper, and on the bottom was written the ranking of the high school.
Another sign even said words such as welcoming the officials back to their hometowns and honoring their ancestors. Just looking at it made me feel proud.
Seeing the crowd rushing towards Yan Zheqing and Yan Yongning, the people guarding the door of Yan's ancestral hall immediately lit firecrackers.
With the crackling of firecrackers, the sound of gongs and drums, and the cheers, the whole Taohua Village was boiling.
The lion danced at the door for a long time. The louder the firecrackers became, the stronger the drums, and the children danced more energetically.
