With the coolness in the morning, the Mid-Autumn Festival is quietly approaching.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yueying Village has a special project, which is to worship the Moon God.

The reason for this project is mainly due to that legend.

Legend has it that the Moon God once visited Yueying Mountain, and with the blessing of the Moon God, the villagers of Yueying Village living at the foot of the mountain could live and work in peace and contentment for generations to come.

In order to reward the moon god, people will hold grand sacrificial activities every Mid-Autumn Festival to thank the gods for their blessings.

This custom has been passed down for many years. For Yueying Village, the Mid-Autumn Festival is even more important than the Chinese New Year.

In fact, in people's minds, it is no longer important whether there is a moon god. The key is a kind of belief and a kind of sustenance.

In the past few years, there have been severe droughts. They relied on Yueying Village to avoid starving to death. Especially this year, a water source was discovered on Yueying Mountain, which gradually made the villagers rich. Although the water source was discovered by man, the source of water is God. Gift, otherwise why would only their village have such a large-scale water source?

They had heard that even if water sources were found in other villages, they would only be enough for people to drink. As for irrigating farmland, it was absolutely impossible.

Therefore, the villagers pay special attention to this sacrifice this year.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that in previous years, one outstanding girl would be selected from among the young girls to wear a white dress and perform a sacrificial dance for the Moon God on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This is an extremely brilliant day for the girl. If she can be selected, it will prove that she is the most outstanding girl in the village, and she will be a good match in the future.

The girl who was elected last year is called Yingzi, and she has been elected for two consecutive years.

Of course, the reason why she was elected was not just because of her outstanding appearance, but also because her uncle was a county government official.

When the candidates were selected last year and the year before last, her uncle came to the village in person and watched on the spot.

When choosing a candidate, the villagers collectively vote by show of hands. Her uncle is like a doorkeeper. Who dares not to choose Yingzi at that station? That would obviously offend people.

If one day the yamen servants get upset and cause trouble for them again, they will just walk away without any regrets.

Anyway, it’s not a matter of choice, and Yingzi is pretty good-looking.

Speaking of which, although this girl Yingzi's family is from Yueying Village, she lives with her uncle's house in the county for most of the year, so she must be very popular with her uncle's family.

I have not been in the village all summer this year. Because of the sacrifice to the moon god, I only returned to the village two days ago to prepare for the sacrificial dance.

Although the candidate is selected once a year, she feels that it will still be her this year, and the selection is just a formality.

Her uncle thought so too. It happened that the county government was busy with affairs, so he sent her home and left. He didn't believe that these villagers dared to go against his wishes.

Of course, before leaving, he made a special trip to the village chief's house. He seemed to have accidentally mentioned the sacrificial dance and said that his niece returned to the village just for this purpose. Although he did not directly say that the candidate must be his niece, this did not mean anything. Couldn't be clearer.

Since the other party didn't tell him directly, the village chief would not point it out and just sent Uncle Yingzi out with a smile.

In fact, the village chief felt a little embarrassed.

This year he had the intention to let the daughter of the Dashan family perform a sacrificial dance.

Pearl Girl is not only good-looking, but she also discovered the source of water. She will dance this year's sacrificial dance, which is perfect for the occasion.

However, due to Yingzi's uncle and Yingzi being an innocent girl, she made a special trip back from the county just to dance this dance.

Actually speaking, he is not afraid of Uncle Yingzi.

Uncle Yingzi's surname is Gao. He is an ordinary government servant in the county government. He can talk to the county magistrate. With this status, it is okay to fool ordinary villagers, but it is absolutely impossible to frighten him.It's not like he has never been to the county government. He happened to have met Gao Yamen a few times. The guy nodded and bowed to people with a little bit of official status. He was extremely flattering and worked like a grandson. It was completely different from the arrogant look he had in the village. .

Not as good as him, at least he had dinner with the county magistrate, and he didn't act like a grandson in front of the magistrate.

The biggest problem now is that he is afraid that he has already dealt with it and greeted the villagers to choose Mingzhu, but Mingzhu is not happy.

He could see that Mingzhu was different from ordinary girls. Although she was capable, she didn't want to be in the limelight, especially this kind of limelight that was of no use to her.

But it is most appropriate for her to dance this sacrificial dance. Otherwise, it would be a pity. I believe most villagers think so too.

Moreover, Brother Dashan’s workshop is about to be built recently, and I heard that many villagers will be recruited to work in the village. This is a great thing that will benefit the village. Of course, when good things happen in the village, his family must be thought of.

Gao Yameng said that Po Tianqu was just a Yamen Yamen and had no right to interfere in the village affairs of their village. As long as he, the village chief, took charge, the villagers would not be afraid of him and would definitely choose Mingzhu.

Forget it, let’s discuss it with Dashan and his wife first.

So he took the time to go to Yue Mingzhu's house, where he locked himself up and held a small meeting with Yue Dashan and his wife, and no one else was allowed to listen.

When the door opened, the village chief smiled like a chrysanthemum, and Mrs. Wang was also full of smiles. Although Yuedashan didn't smile much, the joy around him could not be concealed.

Yes, that’s it!
The Yuedashan couple enthusiastically stayed for a meal, but the village chief couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to stay.

Oops, the food at Brother Dashan's house is so delicious. He is not greedy, but he is so kind and disrespectful.

Yuedashan brought out the best wine to entertain the village chief. The village chief had never drunk such a good wine in his life. He sang a tune to him so beautifully that he could no longer walk, so Yuedashan sent his son back. of.

After the village chief returned home, when the old lady was waiting for him to wash up, he was still happy and said that Brother Dashan was a real person and that he and Brother Dashan would be friends forever.

"Okay, okay, you and your big mountain brother can spend your whole life together." The old woman laughed and scolded.

The village chief was not upset at all. After washing, he went to bed happily and fell asleep.

On the day of selection, all villagers who were at home came to the threshing floor in the village.

Yueying Village is a big village, with a population of 500, and most of them are at home. When you stop on the threshing floor, it is completely dark, and it looks quite spectacular.

This is also considered a grand event in the village, because the days are going well and the villagers' faces are beaming with joy.

It is worth mentioning that Yue Mingzhu also came, and was dragged here by Qiushi, saying that he came to join in the fun.

His wife, the old lady Wang, also asked her to come, saying that this was a major event in the village and everyone at home had to come, otherwise it would be bad.

Okay, okay, I couldn't defeat these two people, so Yue Mingzhu came.

Humans are like this. Since they are social animals, they must not be gregarious, otherwise they will not comply with the laws of this society. No matter how reluctant they are, they must obey, otherwise they may attract social condemnation.

Of course she understands this.

In fact, she likes this kind of custom activity. It doesn't look like much, but in fact it contains the wisdom of people for thousands of years and represents the customs and customs of this place. This kind of custom activity can best unite people's hearts and give people a sense of participation and belonging. feel.

Since it is a grand event in Yueying Village, as a villager of Yueying Village, it is my duty to participate.

I feel a bit gloomy today and need a ray of sunshine to shine into reality.It's not good for people to grow up. It's hard to have unrealistic fantasies.
