Yang Lina took a long, deep breath, feeling a little lost in thought.
Li Jingming took advantage of his unpreparedness, tore off his clothes and threw them aside, then took the person into his arms.
"What are you thinking about? You can't see such a big living person in front of you."
As Li Jingming spoke, his big hands became restless.
"I was thinking, why do I have to have a son?
Why do you think other people's pregnancy is like a chicken laying an egg, but it's so difficult for me to get pregnant?
We have been living together for almost two years. No matter how difficult it is to conceive, I think there should be one or two chances of winning the lottery!"
Yang Lina said with a sad look on her face.
However, Li Jingming was amused by Yang Lina's word "coy".
"You said it, we'll just live together for two years.
What does it mean to be stubborn? It means sneaking around.
People are inevitably nervous when stealing, and it’s normal if they don’t win. What if it’s your husband’s fault?
Daughter-in-law, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Let’s be honest tonight, okay?”
After Li Jingming finished speaking, his big hands became restless.
Yang Lina felt a little itchy on her body, snorted coldly, hooked her legs around his waist, and pressed herself against him.
…
The days flew by and it was the eighth day of the first lunar month. That night, the village was filled with flames.
Under the organization of the village chief, the evening social fire activity started at eight o'clock sharp.
Previously, the village chief asked Li Jingming to be the leader, and Li Jingming went to practice several times on the sixth day of the lunar new year.
During this period, Yang Lina followed her several times.
She lamented that she had never seen how the lifelike dragons in Shehuo activities were made.
According to custom, there is a male and a female dragon.
These two faucets were made by more than a dozen elders in the village into the shape of faucets out of bamboo, and then painted, pasted, and decorated with colored paper. It took half a month to complete.
In other words, this faucet was prepared years ago.
She had learned before that this was an intangible cultural heritage in the northwest.
It's amazing that these craftsmanship can be passed down to this day.
Only when these old people have no distracting thoughts can the dragon heads they make have kind faces and kind eyes.
Of course, decades later, with the development of the region, the social fire activities in each place have great differences.
But Yang Lina was still surprised and excited by the superb craftsmanship in front of her.
She felt that this rebirth was an opportunity given to her by God to meet the paradise of paradise.
The two dragon heads are ready. The dragon body is made of bamboo, with a flashlight tied in the middle of each half. The dragon scales are made of red and yellow cloth with dragon scales printed on them. They are about ten meters long. The dragon tail is made of green.
Made of fresh bamboo.
Li Jingming was the one who danced the dragon's head. He had eaten early at four o'clock in the afternoon and was called away.
I don't know whether he was worried about Yang Lina or wanted her to follow him, so he took Yang Lina with him when he left.
In the school yard, the actors were already in place, and the other leader was Li Jingcheng dancing.
Li Jingcheng was wearing a specific outfit, with oil paint on his face, black face, white eyebrows and red lips, which made him look a bit scary.
After a while, Li Jingming also dressed in the same way. The only difference was that Li Jingming's actor's costume was red, while Li Jingcheng's was yellow.
The back half of the dragon is a young man with good physical strength in the village, and Li Xiaojun is among them.
What makes Yang Lina curious is that there are also performances such as stepping on a high platform, lion dance, land boat, Yangko, and stick playing.
If you look closely, half the village is here to become actors.
Before it gets dark, every household cleans their doors, puts up paper lanterns for their children, and waits for it to get dark.
Children in the village each hold a red lantern, including long, square, round, and flat.
The festive atmosphere made Yang Lina want to join them in the carnival. She listened to these people joking and smiled like a child.
The event started, and the two dragons were the first to bear the brunt.
Wherever the Shehuo passed by, there were sounds of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and the atmosphere was lively and lively.
Yang Lina was protected by Li Jingxuan and Sun Yuxiu, and was crowded all the way to the school playground.
Yang Lina's eyes have been following Li Jingming's dancing dragon head.
The dragon's head was in the hands of the rough man, sometimes making an S-shape, sometimes looking back in the distance, sometimes flirting with the person next to him.
The performance is truly beautiful and wonderful.
The performance lasted for more than two hours before it ended. Yang Lina was completely fascinated by this rough guy from the northwest. When she walked out of the elementary school playground, her eyes kept falling on Li Jingming's faucet. Without paying attention, she followed a thin woman.
bumped into each other.
Yang Lina didn't recognize who it was for a while, and was stunned for a few seconds before she associated her with Liu Cui.
Liu Cui was wrapped in a large and worn-out cotton-padded jacket, and a green scarf was tied around her head. Her face could not be seen clearly under the dim light, and even her eyes were pale and lifeless.
Yang Lina was shocked. What happened half a year ago was still vivid in her mind. Things had changed in just half a year. In fact, Liu Cui had a tragic life under the feudal ideology.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with her own personality.
Liu Cui was also obviously surprised. She opened her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She didn't want to come out. Ever since what happened half a year ago, she now has a bad reputation in the village. She hides when she goes out, fearing that someone will spit on her behind her.
She hadn't joined in the fun for a long time. Tonight was the first social fire activity in the village in several years. Tian Jinquan saw that Liu Cui was not in good health and was emotionally unstable. Thinking about how crowded the village was tonight, he thought
Take her out for a walk to relax.
Liu Cui refused, and after Tian Jinquan persuaded her, Liu Cui came out in front of so many people in the village for the first time.
As soon as the result came out, she had a head-on confrontation with Yang Lina.
"Yeah, you're here to see the fun too."
Tian Jinquan on the side looked at Liu Cui, who was stunned, and turned back to call for someone to meet Yang Lina. He asked uncomfortably, but Yang Lina only nodded slightly.
"You guys watch first, we'll go back if it's too late."
Tian Jinquan said, then pulled Liu Cui's sleeve and left.
The village has returned to its previous tranquility. Yang Lina and Li Jingming are lying in bed, with Liu Cui's morbid look in their mind.
She knew she was in poor health, but she never thought she would be so seriously ill.
In the past, when the two met, they would either quarrel or fight, but now when they meet Yang Lina, they just feel like they are having a nightmare.
She couldn't help but sigh slightly and got into Li Jingming's arms.
"Why do you think people have changed so much?
I heard you say Liu Cui was ill last time, and today I saw her with a sallow complexion, sunken eyes, and a child in her belly. She looked so pitiful."
Yang Lina lamented that no one can stop a good person from getting sick.
"Have you forgotten what she did to you? You are just soft-hearted. Poor people are hateful. Although the lives of the three members of the Zhang family were not directly caused by her, they are ultimately related to her.
To get to this point, she asked for it.
But I heard from others that Tian Jinquan was very kind to her, but her health is not as good as before, and she doesn't know how many years she can live."
