Chapter 147 Dragon Dance
In Changqing Village, Zhang An’s family is paying attention to the situation of the Eyang family.
The Su Ying family, who got on the bus, were almost at the Changqing intersection.
"Is there anyone who wants to get off at Changqing Dahe?"
When the minibus drove to Shiyakou, the driver shouted several times in the car.
“Yes, yes.”
When Wu Qiuping heard the driver shouting that she had arrived at Changqing, she quickly responded.
At first she thought she would take a bus to the town and back again, but she didn’t expect the driver to shout.
This is a treatment you don’t get anywhere else.
Actually, shuttle bus drivers used to not shout.
Most people from every place will shout to the driver when they are about to reach the place closest to their village:
"Master, please brake somewhere in front of you."
< br>As more and more people come to Changqing recently, many people don’t know the way, so everyone has to ask in the car.
In the end, the driver was approaching the Changqing intersection in order to save trouble.
We will shout in the carriage in advance, of course, for everyone's convenience.
If someone is getting off the bus, stop the bus. If no one is getting off, just go straight to town.
I heard the driver calling Chang Qing, and my mother responded and got out of the car.
Su Ying's head was buzzing at the moment, and she was a little confused and at a loss.
Didn’t we agree to come out and play?
Why did you come to Zhang An's house so smoothly?
But before she could think about it, Wu Qiuping pulled her out of the car.
As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Zhang An’s sign at the entrance of the village, which was very iconic.
On the way into the village, there were some horse-drawn carriages coming and going soliciting customers.
"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to go out to play? Why are you here? Are you in the wrong place?"
"You are not in the wrong place. Your dad and I are going to find one. Just for fun at the farm, didn’t you say that the young man Zhang An opened a farmhouse? We just happened to go to his house. Didn’t you know that when we were in the car?”
Wu Qiuping looked at her daughter and asked. Just say it directly.
"But where are we going? Why should we go to Zhang An's house."
Su Ying was a little anxious now, thinking about what her old mother said a few days ago.
It was only now that she realized that everything she came out to play with was fake.
They are here to visit Zhang An’s house.
"Oh, Yingying, we spend money wherever we go. It just so happens that you also know Zhang An, so we won't spend the money on outsiders. Your dad and I just happened to have a look at this young man. Let's go, you lead the way. Let’s go.”
Having arrived here, Su Ying was a little helpless.
She only regretted that she didn't ask where she was going before getting in the car.
If I had asked clearly earlier, she would not have followed.
Now that we are on the battlefield, where can we retreat to?
What else can Su Ying do? She bites the bullet and walks in front.
She just hoped that her mother would not say anything inappropriate later, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
“This village is not bad, the roads at the entrance of the village are so well built.”
Looking at the thick cement road into the village, Wu Qiuping felt that this village is still good. .
Because the roads in many rural areas are very bad now.
"Mom, this road has just been repaired not long ago. It seems that people from Zhang An's village donated money to repair it. When we came here last summer, it was a gravel road."
Su Ying remembered When I came here last year, it was still very dusty.
"That would be even better. You can donate money to build roads, which is much better than many places."
When Su Ying said this, Wu Qiuping had a better impression of the village. .
"Old Su, look at this place, it's a nice place. This bridge looks natural, which is rare."
The Su Ying family walked down from the stone pass and saw the wide space in front of them. The calm river.
"It's really nice here. It's a pity that we haven't gone out for a walk after so many years."
Although they are both in the same county, it is really rare for the couple to go out once in a while.
When we walked to the entrance of the village, we saw the merit monument at the head of the bridge.
Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen also stood and took a look.
"Yingying, is this Zhang An the Zhang An you mentioned?"
Wu Qiuping looked at Zhang An hanging with Li Hongbin on the merit monument, and asked her daughter.
"Yeah, that's him. This Li Hongbin is a good friend of Zhang An, and he is a boss of construction projects."
Then he introduced Li Hongbin to his parents.
Including Li Hongbin, they have now built houses in the village and told their parents about taking them over.
Speaking of this, Wu Qiuping already had a scale in mind.
“I didn’t expect that there are actually programs to watch in this village. Look at the dragon dance in the square.”
Walking forward from the bridge, Wu Qiuping saw that the sunbathing field had just been withdrawn. Then the dragon dance team came out holding the flower dragon and pointed it out to the father and daughter.
This kind of folklore activity was often held in the county during the Chinese New Year a few years ago.
But I haven’t seen many of them in the past two years. They are all modern song and dance performances.
She originally said she was going to Zhang An's house, but now Wu Qiuping was attracted by the dragon dance in the village.
The family of three walked towards the sunbathing area in Changqing, ready to get closer and watch.
On the sunbathing field, many people were also attracted.
The flower dragon in Changqing Village is not small, it is already a big green dragon.
The dragons in the dragon dance are also divided into different sizes. Some are small flower dragons danced by children aged seven or eight.
This kind of thing does not exist in Changqing Village, nor in the nearby villages.
There is also a small green dragon dance performed by young people of fifteen or sixteen years old, which is available in the town next door.
Changqing’s Hualong team now only has twenty or thirty people.
When we were still in the brigade, there were forty or fifty people in a Hualong team, all of whom were men in their twenties to forties.
The main reason is that the dragon head is too heavy and young people cannot hold it. Even if they can carry it, they will not be able to dance well.
As a group of old people blew the suona from their mouths, the dragon ball of the Flower Dragon Team began to take the lead in moving.
Dance to the beats, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes left, sometimes right.
The dragon head, body and tail behind also started to move, although it seemed to be without any order.
But in fact, everyone was dancing to the beat of the suona and the movements of the dragon ball in front.
As the men of the Hualong Team began to speed up, the pace of the little flowers began to accelerate.
A long big blue dragon rolls and dances in the sun drying field, like flying in the sky and riding on the fog.
After lasting for half a quarter of an hour, the dragon dance program was finally over.
The people around me did not hesitate to applaud.
After watching the dragon dance program, Wu Qiuping remembered that she was going to Zhang An's house today.
So I let my daughter lead the way, and it took a few minutes to walk from the sunbathing field to Zhang An's house.
Arriving at Zhang An's yard, Su Ying found that the door was open, but she saw no one.
"Zhang An, are you at home?"
Hearing someone shouting, Wang Fang came out of the circle. When she saw Su Ying, Wang Fang was particularly surprised.
"Oh, Xiaoying is here, aren't Ningning and the others here?"
Then Wang Fang asked Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen behind Su Ying.
"Auntie, they didn't come today. This is my dad and this is my mom. We came to the village to play."
Su Ying blushed and introduced her parents to Wang Fang. When Wang Fang heard that they were Su Ying's parents, she became even more enthusiastic.
I immediately greeted Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping.
Wang Fang saw that these two people were older than herself and the men in her family, so she called them eldest brother and eldest sister.
Wu Qiuping, on the other hand, was on the contrary. She knew that Zhang An was only twenty years old, but the picture of An's mother in front of her was probably too young.
This face looks like that of a person in his thirties, with no wrinkles visible. At the moment, he is also shouting that he is a big girl.
"Come on, let's sit in the house."
Wang Fang greeted the family enthusiastically. Wang Fang had always been interested in Su Ying.
In the past, Wang Fang always thought about the two girls Chen Ning and Su Ying. It would be great if one of them could be friends with his son.
But after hearing her son talk about Chen Ning's family situation, she no longer counted on Chen Ning.
On the contrary, Su Ying, who is a little older than Zhang An, seems to her to be the most suitable.
He looks good, has a diploma, has a good personality, and can talk to himself normally.
So she has always been very satisfied with Su Ying. Today she saw Su Ying's parents coming.
I was planning to let my son behave well in front of adults later.
It has to be said that Wu Qiuping and Wang Fang actually made plans together without communicating with each other.
"By the way, Auntie, aren't Zhang An and uncle at home?"
Su Ying asked as she didn't see Zhang An at home.
"They are at home. The ewes at home are giving birth to lambs today. They are watching there. I call them out."
Wang Fang said and was about to go to the pen to call Zhang An. come out.
"Auntie, there's no need to shout. I haven't seen the baby goat yet. I'll go to the pen to have a look."
Su Ying heard that Zhang An's ewe had given birth, so she I want to take a look at what the little goat looks like.
"Yes, yes, we also happened to go and see the animals in the pen. Yingying has been saying at home that your family has a lot of animals."
Listening to the side Su Ying's expression was very strange when her old mother said it.
Why do you say it so often? Didn’t you just say it once when you asked?
Seeing that his wife and daughter were going, Su Shaowen naturally wanted to follow.
Although he didn't find it interesting, he had seen a lot of it when he was an educated youth.
But as a rake, he didn't dare to say anything.
Wang Fang doesn’t mind either, because the circle in his own circle is different from other people’s circles.
Because my son cleans it every day, the pen house is now as clean as a zoo.
And they have cleaned up the place where the ewe just gave birth, and now it is covered with dry straw.
"Zhang An, what are you doing?"
As soon as she walked into the sheepfold, Su Ying saw Zhang An holding a little lamb and warming himself over the fire.
“Is this the newborn lamb?”
“Hey, Teacher Su is here, the lamb has just been born, and I am roasting the lamb.”
"Ah, it's so small, how could you do it?"
Hearing Zhang An talk about roasting the lamb, Su Ying felt that it was a bit cruel for the lamb to be so small.
"Hahaha, you misunderstood, I was drying it, otherwise it would be cold, not barbecue."
Zhang An saw that Su Ying had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.
Although Su Ying's family had just been talking to Wang Fang in the yard for a long time.
But except for the sound of Su Ying entering the yard, nothing else was heard.
No matter how good his hearing is, it will not work if he is separated by several walls.
"Are these two uncles and aunts?"
Seeing Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen behind Su Ying, Zhang An noticed that Su Ying looked somewhat similar to this aunt.
"Yes, this is my dad, this is my mom, we came out to play today."
Su Ying blushed slightly and introduced her parents to Zhang An.
"Dad, Mom, this is Zhang An."
"Hello, uncle and aunt, welcome to the village."
I found out they were Su Ying's parents, As an elder, Zhang An took the initiative to say hello.
"Haha, hello Zhang An, we're just here to bother you today." The couple both said hello to Zhang An.
Wu Qiuping looked at the young man in front of her. Not to mention anything else, just looking at his head and appearance, the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
At this moment, Wu Qiuping had no more thoughts about her daughter and Zhang An.
Sure enough, most women are judged by their appearance, not their age.
Wu Qiuping looked at the three lambs on the ground, two were very big and one was very small, so she asked curiously:
“Hey, are these three lambs just born? ? Why are they so different in size? ”
"Auntie, these three sheep were all born today. The two were the first big ones and are very healthy, but the smallest one almost killed its mother."
As Zhang An spoke, he told Su Ying's family about the dangers of the third lamb's birth.
Su Ying is a Chinese teacher. When she heard that the ewe had no strength, she still insisted on giving birth to the lamb, which had little hope.
My two eyes were slightly red, sighing at the greatness of my mother.
"Zhang An, can this little lamb survive?"
Hearing what Zhang An said was so dangerous, Su Ying was still a little worried about this little guy.
"There is no danger now. As long as the ewes behind them have enough milk, they can grow up healthily."
If this sheep were in another home, even if it was artificially assisted, it would survive. There is not much hope.
Even if you can survive normally, you will be thrown away by the director's family.
Because the milk of a ewe is limited, it is usually enough to feed two cubs.
Especially since the eldest and second child are so big, they must eat a lot.
If you feed all the lambs once, then all the lambs will be malnourished.
So many people will choose to throw away the extra and weakest ones.
So for many sheep farmers, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for ewes to give birth to three or four at a time.
Unless there are other ewes who can help with feeding.
But in Zhang An’s family, there is no need to worry too much about this problem.
The ewe is in good health, and Zhang An provides it with space spring water and green grass to drink every day.
There must be plenty of milk. As long as Zhang An's family doesn't come to milk, there will definitely be enough milk for three lambs.
Even if it means that it is not enough, Zhang An is not worried. When the time comes, just put the ewe into the space and it will be enough.
While they were talking, the three of them had already walked under the ewe’s belly and started fighting for milk.
But the place is so big, how can the third child compete with the two strong brothers.
So it was squeezed outside by the other two lambs, and it kept bleating anxiously.
"Why are they like this? When they are full, let them go and drink some."
Su Ying saw that the third child had been squeezed outside and was a little dissatisfied with the other two sheep. .
“Hahaha, it’s normal for lambs to fight for milk and protect their food.”
After Zhang An finished speaking, he took out a lamb that was almost drunk.
At this time, the youngest, the thinnest, had the opportunity to lie under his mother's belly and drink goat's milk in large gulps.
Just looking at them drinking milk made Zhang An a little greedy.
I made up my mind to buy a few more ewes and milk them every day.
