Qingshan City did not have such a custom in the past, and the land of Yuanchuan had abundant rainfall all year round. It was the drought and turmoil that year that made people vigilant.
There is no doubt that people believe in ghosts and gods. Temple fairs started out as a way to pay respect to the gods, but as this custom gradually developed, temple fairs became a way of communication.
Just like now, although Qingshan City is the main city in Yuanchuan, the world outside the city is vast. People from all over the country will come here on this day. Some people travel over mountains and rivers for more than ten miles to come here.
A lively one.
Some people came here carrying eggs and vegetables, hoping to sell them at a good price, while others set up a juggling business on the spot, with frying pans in their hands and big rocks in their hands. It can be said that there are all kinds of dishes in front of you.
At this time, it was not dark yet.
I heard people say that the busiest time is when it gets dark.
When Chen Changsheng returned home, he saw Ruyi and Ping An running over happily.
Ping An said: "Uncle Chen, there is a temple fair tonight, please take us to play."
Ruyi also had some expectations in her eyes and was very curious about the temple fair.
She heard that it was very lively, but she had never been there.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Does your mother agree?"
Talking about this peace and happiness, both fell silent.
When Chen Changsheng saw them like this, he said: "I heard that the temple fair in Qingshan City has been held for two years, but you haven't been there even once?"
"I haven't been there."
Ruyi said: "Mother won't let me go with Ping An."
Chen Changsheng said: "There are many people at the temple fair, and your mother is afraid that you will get lost."
Ruyi said: "Ping'an is six years old, and Ruyi is eight years old, how can he still get lost?"
"It's because of people like you that it's easy to get lost."
"Did Uncle Chen say Ruyi was stupid?"
"No."
"There is!"
Ping An wanted to say something, but seeing his sister getting into trouble with Uncle Chen again, he couldn't get a word in for a while.
Chen Changsheng was a little helpless because of Ruyi's entanglement, so he said: "Okay, okay, I will ask your mother later. If she agrees, I will take you there."
Ruyi and Ping An's eyes lit up, and they all looked forward to it.
Chen Changsheng said: "Stay at home. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Chen will go find your mother."
"good!"
Ruyi agreed and said: "Ruyi looks at peace!"
Ping An paused and said, "Ping An shouldn't be watching my sister and not wanting her to run around."
"You are not allowed to talk when you are safe."
"..."
After Chen Changsheng walked out of the door, he walked towards the outside of Qingshan City.
The fields are naturally outside the city.
I heard Wang Sanniang say before that they were planting rice in paddy fields. These fields were always busy because they needed to be drained.
When Chen Changsheng found Wang Sanniang, he saw Wang Sanniang building dams in the fields.
"Brother Chen."
Wang Sanniang called out, stood up and said, "Why is Brother Chen here?"
Her body was covered in mud, and her skin was tanned by the sun in a few days, and she still looked like a woman.
Chen Changsheng said: "Ping'an and Ruyi pestered me to take them to the temple fair. Chen came to ask Sanniang."
"These two children..."
Wang Sanniang said: "I also asked Brother Chen to come over specially."
When it came to visiting the temple fair, Wang Sanniang agreed this time.
Wang Sanniang said: "With Brother Chen taking care of me, I feel more at ease."
Speaking of which, their family no longer has any relatives, and their natal family had already faded away due to the war and drought.
If there is anyone worthy of entrusting Ping An and Ruyi, it is probably Brother Chen.
Chen Changsheng paused and asked, "Wang Sanniang doesn't plan to go with us?"
Wang Sanniang opened her mouth and said: "Brother Chen, you also know that I am a widow. If anyone sees me, I am afraid it will stain Brother Chen's reputation."
Chen Changsheng paused, shook his head and said, "Chen is..."
At this point, he paused and said no more.
He really doesn't care about reputation or not.
Wang Sanniang actually doesn't care about her reputation.
But Chen Changsheng cannot do this. After all, Wang Sanniang may still marry again in the future. She is only so old now, so she cannot always be alone.
Chen Changsheng sighed slightly in his heart.
Thinking about this era, there are many good places and many bad places.
But it seems that there was no such thing in that era. There were many people who gossiped, and a mouthful of spit could drown someone.
"All right……"
Wang Sanniang smiled and then warned: "Brother Chen, please keep an eye on me, especially Ping An, he loves to make trouble the most."
"Sanniang, don't worry."
Chen Changsheng did not stay here longer and immediately left the field.
Wang Sanniang also continued to work hard and continued to build field dams. There were still many things to do, which always made people feel that the work was endless.
But there is no way.
How can we live our lives without being tired of these things?
Furthermore, I think that at the beginning, there was no chance of being affected like this, but now Wang Sanniang is contented.
………
Ping An and Ruyi were very happy when they found out.
But when they heard that their mother was not going, they were a little puzzled.
"Why doesn't mother go?"
"Uncle Chen?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Your mother... you have other things to be busy with, eh."
Ruyi sat under the eaves, frowning for some reason.
Chen Changsheng asked: "What happened to Ruyi?"
Ruyi said: "I don't know..."
"Is it because your mother won't go, so you're unhappy?"
"No, it seems so."
Ruyi thought for a while and said: "Of course Ruyi is happy to be able to go to the temple fair, but if my mother doesn't go, Ruyi doesn't want to go."
Ping An, who was practicing the sword, stopped and said, "Sister Ping is right, it just feels weird."
The meaning of strange is probably that I feel empty in my heart.
"You two think so?"
"Um."
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly. Although Ping An and Ruyi were both a little naughty, they both knew how to be grateful and filial since childhood.
"Grow up quickly. When you are older, your mother will not take you to the temple fair, but you will take your mother to the temple fair."
"Grow up quickly..."
Ping An murmured and glanced at Sister A again. He felt that maybe it wouldn't take long for him to grow up.
Chen Changsheng said: "When you come back, you must tell your mother everything you saw and heard at the temple fair, so that she can know what the temple fair is like. This is also your topic today."
Ruyi blinked and said, "Uncle Chen seems to be a teacher."
Ping An also nodded in agreement.
Chen Changsheng said: "Uncle Chen, can't he be sir?"
Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Sir, I never lie to others."
Chen Changsheng said: "Who said that? Storytellers often lie to people."
