Chapter 40 § Yongjia Happy Day §【The startled branch is not stable】

### Yong Jia Jia Day ### 【The startled branch is not stable】 Ouyang Xiu's poem, "Yellow birds fly to stand, shake the rain among the flowers." It is like saying that I am in Wenzhou.I am in Wenzhou , always be careful everywhere, because sorrow is so real.But I also rejoice. At the end of the old calendar year, the streets of Wenzhou are usually bustling with fresh fish stalls, Nanhuo shops, and silk cloth shops. Those fresh fish, Nanhuo, and cloth Still in the stalls, shops, and villages, it’s like new year’s goods under the stove on New Year’s Eve, and new clothes on New Year’s Day

up.As for me and Xiumei, just looking at it is also good.Xiumei and I cook a table of dishes at my grandma's house on New Year's Eve. There is nowhere to put it in the house, so it can only be placed under the decayed eaves at the door of the house. First, it will be offered to the world, and then the neighbors will be asked to divide the years.Xiumei is ready Envelopes in red paper are distributed to the children and nephews of the grandma next door as lucky money.Xiumei has a younger sister who lives in the south of the city. The head of the family walked around, and she brought her children to see my sister today.As an uncle of mine, I have really done it. A younger sister came to invite me

, and Grandma's family also invited, these are all beautiful cards. On the first day of the first lunar month, all the shops on the street are closed, and every few houses have the sound of gongs and drums for the new year. The new clothes, the children picked up a pair of big red buns to go to relatives' New Year greetings, but only a dozen black dates were untied or longan.Xiumei and I also went to Wuma Street for a walk, but nothing happened.After turning the alley again, I saw oatmeal Qingqing is already the breath of spring. Lichun, the old calendar says that the spring arrives at Yinshi, and it will be after midnight.Grandma and the grandma next door are waiting for the Spring Festival, call me

Sleep with Xiumei first.When I was awakened, firecrackers were set off everywhere, and thousands of households in the city were welcoming the spring.grandmother Take the red bean soup to eat with me in front of the bed, Xiumei has already woken up, and at this moment I heard her talking and laughing in the kitchen at Grandma's house Make gnocchi.It's really interesting to welcome the spring instead of the gods.In an instant, the tree house in the Guojue Court, and the kitchen in front of the hall , Even on the eyebrows, even in the corner of the wardrobe, spring has come, like a relative, he is everywhere.

During the first lunar month, every family has people coming and going, waiting for meals and snacks, and even the neighbor's wife brings a child to sit in a small chair along the steps. Sit and talk under the sun, and be treated as a guest.Our neighbor, the one on the left who is the primary school principal The house is a courtyard of its own, and the man is also the mayor of the town, a member of the Kuomintang, a bit unattainable, but his wife and spouse Also come to our side to sit along the steps, more easy-going, and also called Xiumei A Niang, Wenzhou people call A Niang is an aunt.

On the right is Grandma's house, which only lives in one wing room, but it is shared by the front of the hall.Grandma's family has about two sons, one A tailor and a shop assistant are both in their twenties, and the youngest is only four years old, a posthumous child.them I usually eat sweet potatoes more and cook rice less often, but people like this here are not ashamed, and I don’t see them. Miserably poor.Although Grandma is thinking about her life, she is not too worried. The two sons have grown up. When I first debuted, I just feel that life in the world has to be like this, but whenever the festive season is good, I am very willing to respect etiquette.

Certainly.The pulper's house in the back is a courtyard of its own, which is relatively well-to-do. Sometimes I pass by the back door , they are always polite. Xiumei is more natural than me wherever she lives, and she is inseparable from the world.Every time I see her sitting under the eaves doing needlework with the neighbor's wife When talking, I always marvel at her serenity in the world, and she is reasonable.It was the grandma and the young woman in the backyard, together with the hand The children in her arms are all from the Song Renping dialects, from the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and from the neighbors in the stories of the Republic of China.

Whether they are beautiful or shy, they all have different appearances, but they all have the ceremony of Zhou Gong in front of others, and they regard the world with certainty. The situation is impermanent, but they are still impermanent.It was the younger brother of that grandma. He supported his family on a shoulder pole. In the morning, I went to the Xiaonanmen Fish and Vegetable Store to approve the goods, picked them up in the small vegetable market, set up a stall in the morning market, closed the stall in the afternoon, and bent over Come to see his sister, she is indeed a dignified man.

The fifth day of the first lunar month is Xiao Zhou's birthday.The Doufu bridge where we live, the Xujiatai Gate is on the right side of the Zhunti Temple, Xiu and I Mei went to the seat of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and made incense.Xiumei doesn't mind.She also prayed, praying for my safety, praying for her Keep your body clean and healthy, and pray that Xiao Zhou and everyone in the world will get rid of disasters and have good luck.Chinese people's prayers are sincere and not pleading, because they are not sincere to others. The good feelings in the world are just like the wind on the water, with the breath of lotus and lotus leaves.Moreover, humans and Bodhisattvas are both dignified and serene

, the two must not be profaned, respect each other, there is no need to go to the point of pleading. On the eighth day of the lunar new year, I went to the New Year's grave with Xiumei.Xiumei's father had no thoughts when he was alive, but was addicted to alcohol and had no bones. He was so poor that he sold his daughter, but now this daughter and her son-in-law came to pay respects to his grave. All kinds of complex emotions, in the end, stop at rituals, and the world will be clear and far away.I have traveled a lot on Hita Farm , Wenzhou is warm, and the rapeseed has turned yellow at this time.

On the 15th, I went to Haitan Mountain to watch a temple opera.The Oujiang River is at the foot of the mountain, and the streets are lined up densely with seafood and bamboo, wood and rice. The shopkeepers who are experts in grain and groceries, the horizontal embankment of the Oujiang River, are about to hit the front of the store.This Dai Street was originally outside the city wall, In the old days, the city wall here was halfway up the altar mountain along the coast, with the tomb of Ye Shuixin nearby and the ancient tablet in the setting sun, which reminds people of the Southern Song Dynasty. year.The temple on Haitan Mountain was built by fishermen and boat masters, so the painting on the gate of the temple is not the gods and Yu Lei, but the costumes on the stage. The female general, crowned with pearls and pheasant feathers, embroidered robes and armor, but holds the oar of a rhombus boat in her hand.statues of gods , many plaques, the middle one is "Haiyan Heqing".Inside the temple gate is a stage facing the main hall, where a play is being performed. The gongs, drums, and orchestra, the voices of people in the same stage, the whistling and shouting of toy loads at the food stalls, and the abundance of sacrificial food in the same hall. Long, surrounded by cigarettes, just like Qin Jun and Xiang Yu's army confronting each other, the tile houses in Wu'an were shaken, but it was clear and misty, not only The resonant flute cavity, even the gongs and drums are like Taoist tunes. We watched it halfway up the mountain, and stood and listened for a while.and In such a lively place, like the West Lake Incense Market, Xiumei and I are like Xu Xian and the other is like the white snake daughter-in-law. After that came Aileen.And when Ailing returned to Shanghai, Xiumei and I seldom went out on a daily basis, only walking near the door of our house Walk.Here at the Dashi Gate, there is the site of the mansion bestowed by the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sanzheng, who told him to return to his hometown. People in Wenzhou can talk about it, but people in the alleys talk about the imperial court, that is, they are all the strange things of the people, and the back door is a winding alley. On the side of the wheat field in the vegetable garden, there is a tree of peach blossoms not far away, which is better than the peach blossoms seen in the park. , the season is already March. In March, Sanlan Street Fu and Bailifang on Wuma Street will set up a lantern market, and red carpets will be displayed in front of the shops. There is a colorful archway with dozens of steps, and a stage is set up to perform Wenzhou opera, puppet show, or just drum music.There are also fireworks and lion dances .Chinese folk lantern fairs and plays are singing and dancing to promote peace. This meaning is indispensable even in troubled times. It can be seen that there are still people who are not chaotic. exist.At night, Xiumei and I went to see it. There was a lot of singing and dancing. There was me in the Lantern City Opera, just like in Jiang Baishi's poems. of, Two truss bead curtains hang across the road, a thousand red candles dance, Dongfeng Li Lihong downstairs, who knows Du Muzhi. The stars turn, the moon fades west, the sound of drums fades away and pedestrians disperse, Ming Dynasty spring red small peach branches. I am not recognized by people today, and I am still beautiful in front of me, and the Ming Dynasty is auspicious.Come back from watching the lights, alleys along the river, people Everyone is asleep, and Xiumei and I are walking hand in hand under the moon, everything in this world is true, and we can’t even say an oath . But worry is also true.The newspaper reported that the Office of the Administrative Commissioner launched a surprise inspection, and the districts in the city were in order Although this is to deal with the Communist Party, I am of course frightened.It was April in the Gregorian calendar, and one day a soldier suddenly came to the door I looked around once before, and went through the backyard. Xiumei was so shocked that her face turned yellow, and she left grandma's house with me at three o'clock, but Xiaonanmen and her younger sister's house could not hide temporarily, so they had to go to Zhuji again, disembarked and left Wenzhou that night.midnight As the boat sailed away, all the guests in the night cabin were asleep, and Xiumei was hugging me, and suddenly cried bitterly, "I I can't solve it! "She knew that going to Si's house had to be scruples, it was tantamount to breaking up the husband and wife.couples are Ordinary things, but she is difficult and precious, so her life is saved. When I came here last time, I took a boat from Lishui to Wenzhou, and I arrived in one night. Now I go up against the current, and it is worth the rush when the water is rising. , The boat master used sculls and wormwood for three days.Parking at one place in the evening, when I went up to the village there was a puppet show, and the mountain was dark in the open , the river is white and long, and the stars are all water vapor. The puppet show is performed by Guanyin, and the lyrics are only heard in the end. "Ah ah ah" sigh.It turned out that in the land of Chuzhou, Fangla in the Song Dynasty gathered people to rebel, just like the yellow scarves and red scarves. A kind of witch nightmare, even I can't get rid of it after hearing it. The next day, I parked at the pier again, and there was a small street up there. I saw a family peeling broad beans that had just been pulled from the field. Is Meiqian available for sale?The answer is not to sell, so I have to walk back.I can't help being a little stunned, feeling that the human feelings here are weak.beautiful but way , "Thinking of the difficulties of people who go out, next time we meet passers-by who want something, we have to do it for them. "All her feelings are attributed to the principles of being a human being, like the end of a song in the Book of Songs, the world is naturally peaceful. After arriving in Lishui, I still took a rickshaw to Jinyun. This time I took a long-distance bus from Jinyun to Zhuji County. There is only one ride away from the house, beautiful and weeping in the nightclub, life is really difficult, it is a pity now, I thought a few words Sentences to comfort her, Yinghai Sangan If she is not able to get married, her life will always be extraordinary.
