my daughter my hometown

Chapter 349 Winter Solstice
Watching his wife and mother-in-law go out, Su Wu drank a cup of tea and called Ye Ting.

"Sister Ye, turn down the variety show on Apple Channel."

"Ah?" Ye Ting was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Wu, have you thought about it yet?"

This is a great opportunity to promote Yangxin Valley.

Su Wu smiled, and answered the wrong question: "Just now my wife turned down the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala."

Ye Ting hiccupped a few times, opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

What else can she say.Even the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was turned down, and the variety shows on Apple Channel are nothing.

A few days later, Wen Lan and Xi Qiuhua made their first pot of local zongzi at home, and happily invited everyone to eat.

Su Wu and Su Xue, who just came back from school, tasted the zongzi, and they tasted pretty good.Even the two animals, Fantuan and Abo, ate one separately.

Wen Lan was greatly encouraged.

She actually took some zongzi, drove to the city, and then delivered them to her father and younger brother who were thousands of kilometers away, hoping that they would try her handicrafts.

Su Wu was speechless.

Under normal circumstances, zongzi can indeed be stored for a long time.But after all, it’s thousands of miles away, and anything can happen. I hope the old man and brother-in-law in the distance don’t have diarrhea.

A few days later, several batches of projects in the village were completed one after another.All kinds of cordons, scaffolding, and construction waste were withdrawn one after another, and it seemed that the entire Yangxin Valley was a little bigger in an instant.

It is worth mentioning that Suhai's large supermarket officially opened.The small shop before was demolished and emptied in an instant.

From the outside, it looks like the style of the supermarket is not much different from other buildings in Yangxin Valley. However, when you walk in, you can see that the various facilities inside are quite advanced and complete. Compared with any supermarket in Zhenhai City, it is incomparable. Do not let more.

Boss Su Hai hired about twenty young girls or women with quick hands and feet to work as cashiers or shopping guides in a nearby village.Apart from purchasing, I hardly care about anything else.It's also relaxed.

Yangxingu Primary School is also officially open.Feng Huatong's previous proposal went very well, and many senior students from normal universities were willing to come and be trainee teachers.

The dilapidated elementary school originally set up in the village has been removed.All the children have moved into the new school, and the first grade is divided into one class, and then taught by different teachers.Everything is changing in the direction of regular schools.

The children in the surrounding villages were eager to see it, but they also wanted to transfer to Yangxingu Primary School immediately.However, Su Wu felt that the handover was too troublesome, so he suggested that they transfer together next spring.

In a blink of an eye, December 12st, the 21rd day of the [-]th lunar month, is the winter solstice.

Auspicious: Cancellation of sacrifices
Taboo: getting engaged
Early in the morning, there were crowds of people under the archway of Yangxin Valley.Nine dancing lions lined up shine brightly in the morning sun.

Nearly a hundred years after the collapse, the wind and rain corridor like a crouching dragon once again stands on the land of Yangxin Valley.

Today, the winter solstice, is the official opening day of this brand new covered bridge.

Everyone including Su Wu was beaming.

Even the grandma, who hadn’t been out for a long time, specially changed into new clothes, cheered up and came out to witness the official opening of the Wind and Rain Corridor Bridge.

"Xiaoqing, is this bridge beautiful?" the old lady asked her granddaughter.

"Grandmother, the covered bridge is very beautiful. It is full of gold and jade, carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes. Everyone is full of praise."

The eldest grandma's face was full of relief, "That's good, that's good!"

For tourists, this may be just a building that can shade the sun and rain; but for the Yangxingu people, this is the return of the glory of the ancestors and the continuation of the previous glory.

Crackling!

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, Su Wu punctually lit two mandihong (firecrackers) with 99999 rings.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums, the nine lions all opened their eyes and saluted, worshiped the gods and congratulated the door.

These lion dances are performed by Yangxingu's own family, so they are not as good as the standard or gorgeous dances of Xinshitang's professional lion team, but no one cares.

Everyone was smiling and clapping their hands.

In this kind of occasion, neither Xingshi, Su Wu, nor the great grandmother are the only protagonists, but all the rest of the people in Xingu, especially the gray-haired Uncle Jiu.

He was very busy that day, and had to sing along for a long time in Taoist robes with a few young apprentices.

Su Wan, who was closely following her mother, subconsciously covered her ears when she saw this uncle.When she ascended the pagoda on the Double Ninth Festival, the heart-piercing suona sound of Uncle Jiu was still fresh in the little girl's memory.

Uncle Jiu and his little apprentices had to keep singing and practicing under the archway.

Su Wu and other villagers don't use it.

The firecrackers stopped, and the gongs and drums were loud.

Nine dancing lions led the way, followed by more than 600 people in the whole village and hundreds of animals of all sizes, and walked slowly towards the ancestral hall along the brand-new covered bridge.

After the people who walked through the Valley of Yangxin, followed by Li Yan, Fang Weimin, Fan Ling, Ye Ting and Feng Huatong, who have been stationed in the Valley of Yangxin.Behind them are ordinary tourists and neighboring friends like Wei Gang who came to congratulate.

But now that Su Wu is in charge, he doesn't pay much attention to these orders.

Mo Wenbin, for example, shamelessly huddled among the villagers in Yangxin Valley, and even licked Su Wan's lion with a smile on his face.

An An was so annoyed that her throat was rumbling, and she really wanted to give this stinky and shameless guy a hard blow.

However, seeing everyone's joyful appearance, the lion couldn't hold back his mouth.It walked a few steps quickly and squeezed to the side of the little master before giving up.

Yangxin Valley is very big, and this wind and rain corridor is also very long.

The crowd slowly followed the nine dancing lions and walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the end of the covered bridge.

That is, the well of Yangxin Valley, or the ancestral temple.

After leaving the covered bridge, everyone scattered around in an orderly manner, performing their duties.

Those who dance the lion continue to dance the lion to congratulate; those who worship the ancestors go to worship the ancestors; those who take care of the elderly and children continue to take care of them; those who play with the animals continue to play.

Su Wu and Su Hai, the young main force, took off their shirts, and happily picked up the bucket and walked into the range of the well.

Every year around the summer solstice and winter solstice, the villagers choose a sunny day to come and clean the well that has nourished the whole family and the two stone lions guarding in front of the ancestral hall.

This year's winter solstice happened to coincide with the completion of the Wind and Rain Corridor, so Su Wu and Su Hai decided to clean it together.

Naturally, all the villagers would be notified first about things like cleaning the well.Therefore, early in the morning or even in the middle of the night last night, everyone has already stored enough water at home, so there is no need to worry about running out of water.

Cleaning wells is easy.

When water was still available at the wellhead, a group of men directly pumped the water out with buckets, rinsed away all the moss and sediment at the wellhead, and then drained it away.

When the water became shallow, the ladder was lowered, and the men took turns going down to continue cleaning the walls of the well and various pipes, and then relayed the water out one by one.

This kind of physical work is not worth mentioning to Kong Wu's powerful Yangxingu man.Even little boys like Su Zizhen were eager to try and help, but they didn't take the chance.

Easy is easy, but it should be noted that there are nine golden carps in the well.

If you act roughly or carelessly when washing the well, you may accidentally kill them or splash them out of the well, which is not good.

Because these fish represent peace, wealth and hope, which means carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

Of course, all of the above are the good wishes of the clansmen.

In fact, the original purpose of stocking carp is to check the water quality.If the fish are dead, it is better to change the water quickly.

Too much water was poured out when washing the well, and some was carried up to wash the stone lions.

This is a routine, anyone can wash it, and Wen Lan doesn't need to do it.

But she still happily brought a small bucket of water to help, and almost made herself embarrassed.

But no one will laugh at her, because everyone is the same.Dirty on the body, happy in the heart.

　Come on, Henan Province.
