Rebirth of the 90s: Dear Cub
Chapter 257: Barongsai
"Eggy, why are cousins back in town today?"
The little baby squatted under the roof of the main room, eating a ring of candy, while asking vaguely, with bewildered eyes.
Although he was a child, he also knew that there were no jobs in town on New Year's Day.
Why did Uncle Tang leave in such a hurry? Didn't he feel lonely when he returned to the city alone?
In his house was still crowded, after all, he would definitely not leave the house during the Lunar New Year.
Dandan lazily said, "The adult's business is very complicated, but you're still young, so don't worry about that."
"I don't care, I just ask. When my uncle left, his back was a bit pitiful, as if he was being bullied."
Eggy rolled her eyeballs in the middle of the sea of consciousness.
How pathetic? Bothered? This adjective does not match Yanqin at all.
A man like Yanqin, did not look gentle on the surface, but ruthless in his heart.
"Xiaoer, are you going to stay home all day?"
"Today is the first day of Chinese New Year, you can't stop by."
Qiqi felt a little sad, of course she did not want to stay home all day and could not go anywhere.
But this is a habit, you have to abide by it.
As the baby sighed, he suddenly heard a very rhythmic sound of gongs and drums.
The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer, accompanied by a sound explosion.
Zhang Xifeng walked out of the main hall quickly, stretched his neck to look out, and said happily, "Hey, this is the sound of gongs and drums. There are barongsai dancers who come to our village to give New Year's greetings!"
Qiqi's eyes twinkled, and she suddenly stood up, "Grandmother, is there anyone dancing lions outside?"
Zhang Xifeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, just now! For many years no one in our village has come to the barongsai show. In the past, every family in our village was poor, and barongsai could not get many red envelopes for New Year's wishes, so people did not want to come. This year, the situation in our village has really improved, and all kinds of happy events are coming!"
The old woman patted her thighs while talking, and rushed back inside the house.
"Oh, the lion dancer will come to our house later, I have to prepare the red envelope first, the lion asks for a raffle, and you will have good luck if you give me the red envelope!"
"Grandmother, Qiqi has a red envelope, Qiqi will give it!" The red envelope is much older!
"Do you want to take the red envelope from your mother-in-law? This is unacceptable. Only an older person can give you a red envelope. It's a habit."
The barongsai team arrived and immediately hit the gong and drum.
Behind the "big lion" in colorful clothes, there was a large group of mighty teams, all adults and children from the village, following along to join in the fun.
Due to the habit of not visiting the house on the first day of the new year, adults and children do not enter the courtyard of the house, but gather at the door to watch, laugh and make a scene.
The barongsai dancers step on the rhythms of gongs and drums, dance barongsai, and kowtow at the same time.
The large, large lion head was curled straight towards Qiqi, and behind the eyes with a large fist, you could still see the face of the lion dancer hidden within.
Qiqi was extremely pleased and surprised.
When her mother-in-law handed out a red envelope to win the lottery, the big lion bowed and thanked her and left to go to the next house. Qiqi could not help herself, and ran out of the courtyard to meet her friends, chasing after the lion.
Huazi and Goudan also wore festive red cotton clothes today.
A group of bright red-clothed children gathered together, looking festive.
Due to the arrival of the lion team, the children were very happy.
"It's the first time I've seen barongsai come to our village since I was born. It's so much fun!" Goudan said excitedly.
Huazi, "That's because our village got better this year. Many places outside know the name Taoxi Village. Our village is already famous. I heard from my grandparents that when our village was poor, no barongsai dancers came. Happy New Year, they haven't seen a fight like this for over ten years."
Xiya also chirped and said, "Of course I won't go to barongsai in a poor place, because they want to ask for a red envelope to get money in a New Year's greeting. There's no point in going where there's no money."
Dandan's exasperated roar suddenly came from the sea of consciousness, Qiqi froze in fear, and immediately changed her words, "Xin Qiqi, that's right!"
Eggy could have licked the baby's little ass.
It was only a short while away, and the energy that was so easily stored would soon be lost again!
Thanks to his timely roar!
Qi Qizhi covered his ears, except for a roar, his ears became silent again.
Qi Qi did not know what was going on, Qi Qi did not dare to ask.
If you ask, **** will be irritated again ... Wa'er hugged his little shoulder and walked quickly with small steps.
Like a quail that sneaks away after making a mistake.
"Hey, let's go, little boy."
"..."
No visitation on the first day of the new year.
Visiting relatives on the second day of the new year.
On the second day of the new year, the village became lively as if the ban had been lifted.
No exception small fenced yard.
Early in the morning, the gift-givers began to flock in.
Wang Jianzhong You rushed to the first place, when Qi Qi woke up, he saw someone sitting in his main hall warming up with a wide smile on his face.
He also gave her a small red envelope.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Qiqi stayed in the kitchen and breakfast room while adding fire to the stove to boil hot water, accompanied by her busy mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law, are we leaving relatives today? Qiqi can accompany you!"
Zhang Xifeng was chopping firewood, he was shocked when he heard this, and after a while, he forced a smile like a guise, "No, my mother-in-law's family has no relatives anymore."
"Where are the parents of the mother-in-law?" Wa'er asked curiously, tilting his head.
"There is no."
"Did the mother-in-law have no siblings?"
The old woman was stunned again, and it took a while before she regained her senses, and answered the little baby, "Yes, so I won't bother them at home."
Qiqi's eyes were getting confused. She had never heard her mother-in-law mention her family matters. She never thought that her mother-in-law had brothers and sisters, so why didn't she meet her today?
Seeing her mother-in-law's confused expression, Qi Qi clenched her mouth, and did not ask her the point.
Going to visit relatives, I wonder if anyone will come visit my mother-in-law today. If her relatives came, Qiqi would definitely comfort her mother-in-law.
When his mother came to fetch hot water to wash his face, Qiqi whispered to him about his mother-in-law and relatives.
Song Yueliang patted her daughter's head, "Turn back, mother will ask her mother-in-law. If any relatives have a good relationship, the mother will send a gift. If not, then don't mention the issue again. Maybe this is a sad thing for mother-in-law, if you mention it, she will be unhappy."
Qiqi nodded obediently, and said seriously, "Understand, ma'am, Qiqi can keep it."
Returning to the main hall, Wang Jianzhong had yet to leave, and more and more foreigners were sitting around the brazier to warm up, all of whom Qiqi was unfamiliar with.
Seeing him enter, Wang Jianzhong waved and said with a smile, "Qiqi, when will your uncle wake up? Can you call him?"
"My uncle stays in bed every day, and he'll definitely stay up until nine today."
Wang Jianzhong's mouth twitched.
Don't get up until nine in the afternoon, if this is his son, he'll be whipped with a cane.
