Chapter 411 Peach Blossom Village welcomes guests with loud gongs and drums
After returning to Qingliu County, Grandma Chen and Yan Qinghua went home first.
All the others were placed in the county government compound by Mr. Xiao.
After having a few glasses of wine together at dinner, Yan Zheqing's father-in-law decided on the date of the wedding banquet with Mr. Xiao and Dean Gao.
At that time, the unveiling of the archway in Taohua Village, Yan's move into the new house, the wedding banquet, and Yan Yongning's wedding banquet were all held in one day just like in the capital.
In this way, there is no need to bother too many people, and the blind date in Taohua Village will not be too busy, and the adults will not be bothered too many times.
Think about it, if we do it separately, it will probably take ten and a half days. Everyone is tired and it is a waste of time and money. It is better to finish it all in one day. After that, it is easy to eat and drink, and it is still lively.
Afraid that time would be too tight and the village would not be able to prepare in time, so the event was scheduled for five days later, on June 23rd.
Chen Jichang also decided the date for his family. This was something that the couple and Grandma Chen had discussed long ago, as long as it was a little later than the Yan family.
The Chen family held a thank-you banquet for the neighbors and the Master’s classmates. The event was held five days later than the Yan family’s, on June 28th.
The last two families agreed to return to Beijing together on June 30.
It's neither late nor rushed.
~~~~~
June 18
Early in the morning.
The Yan Lan family returned to Taohua Village. They deliberately avoided it when passing through Daqiao Town, and did not dare to go in again, for fear that they would have to stay for a long time if they were disturbed.
They got up early on purpose today and left the county seat at dawn.
If you go out too late, you may worry about causing a sensation among the people in Qingliu County, affecting people's lives and delaying their return home. If you are too dazzling, you should stop it in moderation.
Yesterday's parade in the county town had already spread to Taohua Village. The village knew that they were delayed and had already expected that they would come back today.
I don’t know if there was someone specifically guarding the intersection. Anyway, it was almost a mile away from the village entrance, and the sound of gongs and drums started in front.
Looking from a distance, there was actually a waist drum team and four lions in red, yellow, black and green colors coming out. Many children and villagers followed behind. Seeing that the team was so long, even if they were walking, they raised their voices all the way. dust.
"Zimo, let the carriages and horses go faster. Don't let the villagers walk such a long way."
When Zimo heard Yan Zheqing's words of concern for the fellow villagers, he quickly asked someone to pass the message back. He also flicked his riding whip and hurried forward quickly.
The carriages and horses moved forward quickly, and thick dust was raised on the official road.
"Hurry up and close the car curtain, your mouth will be full of dust later."
Seeing how big the dust was, the children all poked their heads outside, and grandma quickly wanted to stop them.
"No, if you eat ashes, you will eat ashes."
"If you turn it off, you can't see it."
"Yeah, I want to see who's coming to pick us up?"
The children didn't want anyone. Even if the door curtain was closed, they kept sticking their heads forward.
Grandma Yan didn't care, she just asked her mother-in-law and maid to keep an eye on the child so that he wouldn't fall out.
Fortunately, the carriages and horses ran fast, and Zimo got to the front early and stopped the gongs and drums team and the villagers.
But neither the drums nor the lion stopped. The lion raised its head high and danced until the carriage and horse were within three to five feet of each other.
When Chu Chu and the carriage in front of them approached Zimo, they stopped.
All the people in the village gathered around.
"Juren is back!"
"And Tan Hua Lang."
"Where's the fourth uncle!"
"Is it Yongning?"
The two father and son behind had already jumped down, and everyone, old and young, gathered around them.
Chu Chu in the car in front was the first to jump off.
Seeing that Chu Chu was not afraid at all, the children behind her all imitated her and wanted to imitate Chu Chu in jumping down.
Fortunately, Mingming was not sitting outside, otherwise she would have jumped down too.
Luo Mei led several maids and quickly supported each one below to prevent them from falling.
"Fubao, Fubao, we are here."
"Fu Bao, guess who we are?"
Chu Chu, who was standing at the front, just stood up and was stunned. Several big lions were in front of them.
The voice felt familiar through the lion's head, but I couldn't guess who it was.
Suddenly, a lion collided directly with Fu Bao and his group of children. Chu Chu was not afraid and immediately wanted to touch it. On the contrary, Ming Ming and the others were so panicked that they ducked back, but they only took one or two steps back.
"This lion is so cute."
Furry ones are really fun.
Just when he was about to hit Fu Bao, the lion dancer pulled off the lion's head.
Under the lion's head was actually a big sheep who had become a carpenter. He held up the lion's head and giggled. He had grown taller, and his arms were full of tendons.
He kept shouting, "Fubao, I am Brother Dayang."
Chu Chu didn't have time to respond, she just shouted: "Why is it you?"
Before I could greet him, the same lion also stood up straight on its butt. The lion dancer was Yan Ziqi, a classmate in the academy. Last year, he and Erlang passed the Tongsheng examination.
The other three lions stood up. They were all junior students and classmates in the village. They were all lively and energetic, and they were very happy to see them.
"Fubao."
"Erlang, Sanlang, you are back."
Fubao Yaya was so happy that she quickly hugged them. Yuanbao and Sanlang also stepped forward to take the lion's head.
The children from the capital were also very happy. They walked up to touch the furry lion heads and looked at them curiously.
Hongying even shouted excitedly: "I can also dance. My grandfather taught me the lion dance."
"Chu Chu, tell them that they will let me dance a few times when they enter the village."
I thought Hongying wouldn't bring it up, but I didn't expect that my feet were itchy before I entered the village. Fortunately, I didn't plan to raise the lion's head right away.
"Children, let's dance the lion to welcome our relatives in Taohua Village, and welcome Mr. Tanhua and Juren back home."
"Haha, we're going home, Fu Bao, hurry up, let's go home."
"Your parents are waiting at home! If you haven't come out, they are waiting to set the table."
"You don't know, the four and five children have started to walk, but they keep falling down."
Other classmates who came up to them even stepped forward and grabbed a few of them. Some of them were known to Yan Yuge and Yan Yuzhe, and they also stepped forward to warm up, and everyone quickly merged together.
Among the people who came, except Zhou Pinqing, who was a bit reserved and might not look down on the people in the village, the other children quickly blended into the crowd, and even Mingming was dragged along by Yaya to find playmates.
"Fu Bao, your new house is very beautiful. It is the first one in Daqiao Town."
"Fu Bao, we went in specially to take a look yesterday. Your mother decorated your room so beautifully."
"There are flowers on the bedside."
"There are also many fruit trees planted in the yard. By the way, I saw that one of the pear trees has all produced fruit, but it hasn't turned yellow yet. I'm afraid it will take some time before we can eat it."
"Fubao, we haven't even used up the pens and paper you brought us from the capital! The paper is so good. I wrote on it several times and it's still so tough. We didn't even want to throw it away. We got dizzy after buying it in Daqiao Town. opened."
