In Dachen Village, Fan Hongyu and Li Qiuyu were welcomed in an extremely warm and grand manner.
When Chen Xingrui returned home the day before yesterday, he told the elder in charge of the village that a big boss would come over the past two days and build a new school for the village. The villagers were very happy and were waiting for the big boss to come to Xiaoshan Village...
It has been a long time since Dachen Village has not been visited by a "big figure".
Except for the two years before yesterday, Chen Xingrui was admitted to Capital University, a high-ranking official from the county education committee and a vice president of the county No. 1 Middle School came once, and no big shot ever stepped into a small village in the mountains.
Although Fan Hongyu was as strong as a cow, he was walking on the mountain road for several miles on his back, and he was a little overwhelmed and began to breathe heavily. Feeling that Li Qiuyu's light body was getting heavier and heavier.
"Hey, am I very heavy?"
Li Qiuyushu lay comfortable on his back and asked with a smile.
After the age of thirteen or fourteen, Li Qiuyu has never had such close contact with a young man. Fan Hongyu's strong masculine aura penetrated into his nose. The little girl felt her whole body was soft, as if she was crispy, and she didn't want to move.
Move, just go on like this...
"What do you think? The whole world is on me, how can it not be heavy?"
The second brother of Fan gave an answer in the famous Internet language in his later generations.
A bright red gradually oozed out of Li Qiuyu's pretty face, like blood-stained mutton fat jade. Her head slowly lay on Fan Hongyu's shoulders, tightly pressing against his cheeks wet with sweat, and her arms were tightened.
Fan Hongyu, who was already a little tired, shouted with both arms, lifted Li Qiuyu's little body, which was a little slipping down, lifted his long legs, and walked towards the small mountain village not far away with lights.
There is no electricity in Dachen Village.
The fires were all torches.
"Ah, so many people..."
Li Qiuyu, who was lying on Fan Hongyu's shoulder, was shocked.
On the mountain road ahead, more and more fires gradually gathered. Many villagers came to the entrance of the village to welcome them with torches. Countless torches were connected into a long dragon, winding and connecting them from the mountain road to the entrance of the village.
Chen Xingrui smiled and said, "Someone saw us and came out to greet us."
"Quick, let me down."
Li Qiuyu said hurriedly, struggling and jumping off the ground.
Fan Hongyu straightened up, breathed a long sigh, and reached out to wipe his sweat.
Li Qiuyu looked at him and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you do this for my brother's sake?"
Fan Hongyu was stunned and shook his head gently: "No."
Li Qiuyu smiled sweetly, grabbed his hand, posed as a very ladylike demeanor, and walked side by side with him towards the welcome crowd.
There were about one or two hundred people welcomed in Dachen Village. Every other section, someone held a torch, both men and women. Look at this posture, maybe the whole village would come out to greet them. Everyone was dressed very simply.
Basically, they are all out of the 1970s, with old military uniforms. The older villagers have more "older" clothes. Many children wear local cloth jackets and some children are directly naked.
"Chen Xingrui, this is too grand, right?"
Li Qiuyu couldn't help but say to Chen Xingrui, her tone was a little excited and nervous.
Chen Xingrui smiled and said, "This is nothing, the people in the mountains are hospitable. You are all distinguished guests, afraid that you will not be able to see the road falling, so you can use a torch to illuminate it."
Several older villagers came out, taking the lead, with gray hair and under the torch, they couldn't see it very clearly. They were always sixty or seventy years old, and they should be the clan elders of Dachen Village. The clan elders followed the two of them.
The younger villagers are about fifty years old, and later they are two young girls holding cow horns.
"Ah, what is that?"
It’s not that Li Qiuyu doesn’t know the horns, but they all grow on the heads of a live horn. I have never seen them before, and I don’t know what the two young girls mean to hold the horns in their hands.
Fan Hongyu lowered his voice and said, "That's a cow horn, which contains rice wine. When you toast to you later, don't reach out to pick it up. Just open your mouth. Take a sip. I won't feed you..."
"What if I take it?"
Li Qiuyu asked curiously.
"Then you have to drink all the rice wine in the horns, which may be three or four kilograms..."
Li Qiuyu's little face suddenly turned green again.
Fan Hongyu once knew similar customs in another world, and some Miao villages used this to receive distinguished guests. I don’t think Dachen Village has the same custom. If I didn’t know about it in advance, Fan’s second brother would be miserable later. Li Qiuyu didn’t know.
The relationship is fine, after all, she is a girl, and even if she takes over the horns and doesn't drink the rice wine, she won't be too forced. But the treatment of men is absolutely different, and Brother Fan has no room for dodging.
The clan elder came forward.
"Welcome, welcome guests..."
The clan elders spoke in local dialect. Fortunately, Brother Fan had been traveling around the world for many years and could understand it. He quickly shook hands with the clan elders and said a few polite words.
Chen Xingyu introduced on the side that this is the ninth grandpa, and the elder with the highest seniority in the village is of course not necessarily the oldest. In the customs of the countryside, men are usually present in public, and they are the most senior. Other elderly people are considered
It is older than the ninth grandpa and has a worse seniority, so it is not easy to represent the whole clan to welcome the VIP.
Following the Nine Grandpa was the branch secretary and village chief, and Chen Xingrui's elder.
After a greeting, two girls holding cow horns stepped forward, not wearing bright ethnic costumes like the ones taken on the TV, but were very ordinary current clothes, which were slightly dissuasive, tightening their delicate and concave bodies.
It is tightly wrapped, very eye-catching.
He smiled and presented the huge horns in his hand to the VIP.
"Don't use your hands to pick it up, open your mouth..."
Chen Xingrui hurriedly gave a reminder.
If it weren't for Fan Hongyu's "warning" in advance, his advice would have obviously been lagging behind.
Fan Hongyu and Li Qiuyu looked at each other and smiled, raised their heads slightly, and opened their mouths.
Two mountain village girls carefully raised the horns in their hands, tilted slightly, and a thin water line flowed down from the horns. Li Qiuyu took a few sips, then quickly shut up and shrank back. The mountain village girl smiled and
Not "chasing".
Second Brother Fan is a man, so he can't be so tasteless. Gudong Gudong took a few big sips.
The rice wine brewed in the mountain village is not very high. Although Brother Fan’s alcohol content is not good, it is not a big problem to drink a few sips. If it is sorghum wine or sweet potato wine, Brother Fan’s will be in trouble.
The welcome ceremony ended, and everyone surrounded two distinguished guests and walked into the village.
Dachen Village is located in the valley, and its terrain is somewhat similar to Shutingao Village. However, the surrounding mountains are obviously not comparable to Shutingao. Strictly speaking, the entire Yanhua area is considered a hilly area. In Baishan County,
It is a solid mountainous area.
The size of Dachen Village is not as big as Shutingao. It is getting late, and the whole picture of the whole village is not very real. According to Chen Xingrui, there are about 60 households in the village, including men, women, young and young. In the mountainous area, it is considered
It is a natural village of considerable scale. As an administrative village, Dachen Village also includes two small villages on the other side of the mountain. Six or seven miles apart, the two small villages each have more than one hundred people.
When Li Qiuyu entered the village, he was very eye-opening.
Almost all the buildings in the entire village are made of wooden and bamboo, and there are many stilt houses and brick-shaped houses that cannot be seen. Li Qiuyu is completely like entering another world, and even Fan Hongyu feels that it is quite
It is novel. The situation that was only seen on TV before is truly displayed in front of you. It is full of primitive simplicity and beauty.
"Chen Xingrui, this... Isn't this house afraid of the wind..."
Seeing that the bamboo poles and trees as load-bearing objects did not seem to be very thick, Li Qiuyu asked with great concern, of course, deliberately lowered his voice.
Chen Xingrui smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Don't look at the wood not thick, the houses are quite solid. Besides, this is between two mountains, which is sheltered from the wind. Generally, there is no strong wind blowing through it."
Li Qiuyu nodded and continued to look around, making a sound in her mouth. Everything was extremely novel. She was originally tired and full of vitality.
The "Welcome Dinner" was held at Chen Xingrui's house. It can be seen that Chen Xingrui's family is a large "family" in Dachen Village. His parents, uncles, and uncles lived in an ancient wooden building.
In the house, the main hall is covered with bluestone floors. Although it is irregular, it is very sturdy and durable.
A "one-character long snake array" was set up in the main hall, and several small wooden coffee table-shaped tables were connected together, with bamboo stools next to them.
The Ninth Grandpa, the branch secretary and the other elders in the village, and all the adult men in Chen Xingrui's family sat around the long table. Chen Xingrui's mother, aunt, and others were busy serving bowls of dishes.
The dishes are very rich, with chicken, duck and fish, mainly bacon and dried meat, stir-fry with a lot of red peppers, and the aroma is strong. In the mountain village, this is the highest-standard banquet.
The distinguished guest was courteously seated at the long table nearest to the shrine of the main hall. Li Qiuyu was close to Fan Hongyu, and his face was so excited that his little face turned red and his spirits were energetic.
Chen Xingrui took the initiative to pour wine for every guest.
Big sea bowl!
Every elder in the village, including the Ninth Grandpa, owed his body slightly when he poured wine, expressing his politeness. Although Chen Xingrui was a junior, he was the only baby in the village who studied in the capital and had seen the world.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely become a state cadre and official in a few years!
That's amazing.
After so many years in Dachen Village, a baby finally walked out of the mountains and was about to become an official family.
Seeing that Chen Xingrui's mother, aunt and others had not served the table, and there were no empty seats on both sides of the long table, Li Qiuyu couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked in a low voice: "Chen Xingrui, why don't your mother come to have a meal?"
Chen Xingrui smiled bitterly and said, "This is the rule in the mountains. Women don't go to the table..."
When I was a child, Chen Xingrui didn't think there was anything wrong with this rule. After going to college, his horizons gradually broadened. Now his ideas are naturally different. However, this is an old rule that has been circulating in the mountains for hundreds of years, but it is difficult to change for a while.
.
"What's the rule?"
Li Qiuyu immediately pouted and felt a little dissatisfied.
"Accompanies the customs in the countryside."
Fan Hongyu smiled slightly and whispered to remind her.
