Chapter 342 A Surprise on New Year's Day

Han Li stood in the courtyard, his sense of smell surrounded by the pleasant smell of gunpowder after the explosion of firecrackers. This was the faint smell of human fireworks.

The continuous and rising sound of firecrackers is heard in my ears, telling the story of the arrival of the new year.

January 23, 1974, the first day of the first lunar month of the Jiayin year.

At this time, Yun Jingjing's voice came from the north room, but then it fell silent.

As soon as he heard this voice, he knew that she was still drunk. Han Li used his mental strength to take a look at the situation in the room. However, this time, he used his mental strength to give him a big surprise. After repeated observations, he confirmed this. fact.

Han Li's original mental power initially covered a range of 10 meters. Later, he was blessed by Jiang Xiaoli for one meter, Yun Yingying for three meters, Yun Jingjing for the same three meters, and Wang Chunhua for one meter. This was Han Li's previous spirit. The force can cover eighteen meters.

Han Li really didn't expect that He Mi was not only different in other aspects and hard to find, but could bring him a different feeling. Even the spiritual power she blessed was so powerful. She actually blessed him with a distance of ten meters.

As the saying goes, Tao can be Tao but not Tao, name can be named but not famous. There is definitely a reason for being famous.

He Mi's uniqueness allowed Han Li's mental power to reach a range of twenty-eight meters, which was enough to deal with normal situations.

After Han Li found that there was no problem in the north room, he turned back to the health room with a smile on his face.

After taking a nap, Han Li began to practice the Xingyiquan boxing frame and the Spring Wind Transformation Rain Technique on a daily basis.

It didn't take long for everyone to gradually wake up from their hangovers, and none of them seemed to be in good spirits.

Only He Mi's face seemed to be smeared with some fine rouge, and her whole person revealed a different kind of look.

"Oh, we actually slept until now. This night watch was such a failure."

"Brother Li, why didn't you wake us up?"

"What are you calling me for? We eat dumplings the same no matter what time. During the Chinese New Year, we can do whatever makes us happy. There is no need to be rigid and dogmatic."

"Then we have to get ready quickly, won't there be a yangko team coming later?"

"Sister He, what's wrong with your voice?"

"Cough. Cough. It's okay. Maybe it's because I drank some wine yesterday and the fire burned a little too much, so my throat is too dry. I'll just drink some water and it'll be fine later."

Then they started to get busy. After washing, some cleaned up the inner room, some cleaned up the outhouse, and some cleaned the yard.

However, the garbage will not be thrown outside. You have to wait until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before you can throw the garbage out.

Because of folk custom, the fifth day of the first lunar month is called "sending the poor", so taking out the garbage means sending away the poverty of the year. In some places, it is called "sending the five poor", "driving the five poor", "breaking the five", etc. .

In some places, the floors are not swept on the first and second days of the lunar new year. They think that sweeping the floor will sweep away their good luck and make them lose money.

Why is it the fifth day of the lunar month? It is said that this day is the birthday of the God of Wealth, so on the fifth day of the lunar month, everyone will get up early to set off firecrackers, clean the house, and drive away all unlucky things from the house.

In addition, you must eat dumplings on the day of "Po Wu", which means biting the dumplings, which means that all unlucky things will be destroyed, and it has the meaning of driving away disasters and avoiding evil.

(Of course, the winds are different in ten miles, and the customs are different in hundreds of miles. The country is too big, and in some places, it is broken three, broken four, and so on.)

After everything was tidied up, various nuts and candies were placed on the table, and they began to busy making dumplings.

During this period, the sound of firecrackers would occasionally be heard. It seemed that they were not the only ones who fell asleep last night.

After the firecrackers went off at Han Li's house, everyone gathered around the Kang table and ate dumplings.

However, due to hangovers, neither the Yun sisters nor Qi Zhaodi had much appetite, so they simply ate two to suit the occasion.

Only Han Li and He Mi ate with gusto. Everyone ate a big bowl, leaving everyone else stunned.

"Sister He, you seemed to have drank a lot last night. Why don't you seem to be affected at all? So it makes sense that you have a good figure."

After hearing this, He Mi rolled her eyes silently. She was still working overtime while you were sleeping soundly, okay? She went hoarse twice in a row and exhausted all her strength. Even some of the drunkenness was expelled with sweat. Until now. Can she not be hungry?

Everyone talked and laughed, and then finished the New Year's Eve dinner and breakfast.

They were cleaning up the rooms at home, and Han Li opened the street door. At this time, many people in the village had already gotten up to pay New Year's greetings.

Han Li stretched out and was about to call Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu to pay New Year greetings to Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang when a group of children ran over.

"Happy New Year, Brother Han."

"Happy New Year to you too. Did you get up early this year?"

"morning."

As soon as they finished answering, the group of children rushed towards the pile of cannon paper and picked up several more squibs for them.

Han Li smiled and gave each of the children a few pieces of candy and watched them run away before heading towards Zhang Xiangjun's house.

These two guys didn't keep up the New Year's Eve at all yesterday. They got drunk and fell asleep, but they still woke up very early.

When the three of them just went out, the singing voice of the model opera "Red Lantern" came from the loudspeaker.

Grandma, listen to me.

There are countless cousins ​​in my family, and they always come to visit us if there is no important matter.

Although they are relatives and do not recognize each other, they are closer than relatives.

Dad and grandma call for their relatives in unison. I can guess some of the mystery here.

Listening to the familiar lyrics, Zhang Yaozu muttered.

"Why don't you play "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"? I want to hear the part where Yang Zirong fights the tiger on the mountain."

After Zhang Yaozu finished speaking, he made a gesture of spurring a horse and whipping it, and then sang in his very non-standard accent.

"Crossing the forest, crossing the snowfield, and rushing to the sky, expressing my heroic feelings and ambitions, facing the mountains, I wish that the flags of the five continents and four seas will be spread out, even if it is a sea of ​​fire and a mountain of swords, I will rush forward. I wish I could quickly make the flying snow melt into spring water and usher in the spring scenery to change the world."

While singing, he also imitated the action of a martial artist riding a horse, "walking on the horse", waving the non-existent whip in his hand and rushing forward.

Han Li and Zhang Xiangjun watched Zhang Yaozu's show of tricks from behind with a smile, and occasionally called him hello.

The group chatted and laughed and finished visiting the village chief and the team leader's house. At this time, it is not allowed to say anything auspicious when paying New Year's greetings.

Generally, they say happy new year, I wish you to meet the chairman this year and other blessings.

After leaving these two houses, everyone separated. Zhang Yaozu wanted to visit the uncles who brought him into the mountains.

After Han Li returned home from outside, the Yun sisters and others sat on the kang and ate the frozen pears and frozen persimmons that they didn't eat last night because they drank too much. Unexpectedly, Hou Yuhua was also among them.

"Happy New Year, Brother Han."

"Happy New Year, did you get up early this year?"

"Not bad, it's quite early."

Not long after, Hao Hongmin and the others also came. Yang Xiuying, who is smart, told everyone about the situation of the village yangko team this year.

Han Li came to the yard and locked all the dogs and lynxes in the backyard. Not long after, the village loudspeakers stopped.

But the sound of drums and suonas soon sounded, and everyone crowded outside together.

In the distance, the red and green yangko team had already started dancing in a mighty manner. Most families would set off two firecrackers to welcome them to their homes to dance a circle.

The old men and women in the village are not young anymore, but when they dance the Yangko, their movements are coordinated, their steps are light, their postures are graceful, and the fans and handkerchiefs in their hands are dancing to perfection.

The Yangko team was surrounded by people watching the fun. Not only did the children follow to watch the fun, but they also imitated the movements of the Yangko team. Some of them danced very well, and the whole scene was very lively.

There were two drummers, two small suonas, and two large suonas in the Yangko team.

The leading old man waved his fan and pointed casually, and all the trumpet sounds and drum beats stopped.

Then the old man raised the fan up and swung it forward, and the Yangko formation changed its formation in an instant.

All the people around were cheering loudly. Han Li and his friends didn't know what was going on, but they just followed and clapped their hands.

Then the Yangko team changed its formation several times, and only then did they learn what was going on from the villagers.

It turns out that this kind of big yangko team pays more attention to the formation. They will form various formations according to the situation of the venue and the number of performers.

Common formations in the village include one-character long snake, two dragons coming out of water, three sheep opening the door, four seasons of peace, five blessings, six livestocks prospering, crossing the street dragon, dragon wagging its tail, scissors and other formations.

I heard from the villagers that the county had held a large-scale yangko competition before. At that time, many yangko teams formed formations such as nine lotus lanterns, perfect, four-sided fighting, eight-sided wind, six doors inside, six doors outside, big flowers, eight treasures fairy pavilion, and Jinluan Palace. That kind of scene was called a beautiful scene.

Han Li and his friends were very excited to hear it, but they didn't know whether the county would organize such a competition this year.

The yangko team gradually came to the Youth League Courtyard. No one lit any firecrackers here. They just walked around the yard and came out.

When they arrived at Hao Hongmin's house, Yang Xiuying, who was smart, knew the situation, and they lit a hundred firecrackers.

The Yangko team turned around inside, and changed the formation of two dragons emerging from water and three sheep opening auspiciousness.

Han Li's family had firecrackers and double-kicked firecrackers, and he secretly gave the team leader two yuan. The team leader shouted loudly to the drummer.

"The drummers, use your strength. Let's go around Han Zhiqing's yard and don't miss any place."

After the team leader shouted like this, most people knew what was going on. Whether it was the Yangko team or the villagers who followed to watch the fun, they all cheered loudly.

The rhythm of the drums also changed. The colorful sticks and the fans and handkerchiefs in Mr. Sha's hands waved and changed several times. The Yangko team walked into Han Li's yard in the formation of three sheep opening auspiciousness.

Because Han Li and his team's behavior was a respect for them, a recognition of their customs, and a manifestation of treating them as their own people, this was the reason why everyone cheered.

The educated youth who came in the first few years not only prevented them from dancing Yangko, but also kept making trouble, and even staged a full-scale fight in the end.

In the end, if it weren't for Village Chief Zhao's strong suppression, that incident might have become a big deal.

At this time, Han Li finally understood why the courtyards of this Gada were so big, because if they were too small, the Yangko team would not be able to move around in them.

Although the Yangko team was quite dedicated, the venue was really not good, and many formations could not be deployed at all.

In the end, under the instructions of the team leader, they could only go around Han Li's house twice more and turn all the corners tightly before they could be considered done.

The Yangko team had just left Han Li's house, and he was about to follow to watch the fun when he heard someone calling his name.

"Han Li."
