Acai's Sky

Chapter 546 One Night Fish and Dragon Dance

After returning from the supply and marketing cooperative, Ah Cai went straight into the Universal Processing Workshop and processed a batch of period materials.

The "three big items" include sewing machines, watches, and bicycles.

Zhongshan suit, Lenin suit, and overalls.

Various tickets such as food coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, etc.

Enamel cups, enamel basins, thermoses, aluminum lunch boxes, flashlights, batteries, and radios.

Tong Jiaer looked at the antique objects his young lady had set up on the machine.

"Are you planning to go to the Age Dungeon?"

Ah Cai came back to her senses and said embarrassedly, "I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. I got a little drunk and prepared a batch when I got back."

Tong Jiaer came over and said, "Okay, I'll help you process the things and mail them to you. You can stock up on them first."

Tong Jiaer processed each watch at a rate of 10,000 yuan. "I'll make this watch for you for 10,000 yuan. There are 20 varieties, and the most popular one is the 'Plum Blossom' watch."

Ah Cai nodded and went back to the kitchen.

Tong Jiajiu put all the cooked dumplings into the space button and handed it to Ah Cai. "A total of 20,000 large lunch boxes of dumplings, is that enough?"

Ah Cai nodded quickly, "The little ones will definitely ask you to cook for them later. Try to use spiritual food for them."

He knew about Tong's wine.

...

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the time to celebrate with lanterns.

The entire Taibai Village is hung with various lanterns, like a colorful sea of ​​flowers.

Some lanterns are traditionally round, painted with exquisite designs, such as auspicious dragons and phoenixes, blooming flowers, etc., which symbolize good luck and prosperity.

Some are made in the shape of animals, such as rabbit lanterns and carp lanterns, which are vivid and seem to jump out of the lanterns.

Some lanterns use modern technology and can change into different colors and lights, which is eye-catching.

These lanterns not only have different shapes, but are also exquisitely made. Each one exudes a unique charm, attracting people's attention.

Village chief Rong really invited the dragon dance team.

As night falls and the lights come on, the village is filled with a festive atmosphere.

People came out of their homes and gathered in the square, looking forward to the start of the dragon dance performance.

The dragon dance team, dressed in brightly colored costumes and holding long dragons, stood in the center of the square in high spirits. With the sound of passionate gongs and drums, the dragon dance performance officially began.

The dragon danced in the hands of the team members, sometimes circling, sometimes rolling, sometimes raising its head, and sometimes diving. The dragon's body shone with colorful light, as if a real dragon was soaring in the sky.

The villagers were attracted by the wonderful performance and burst into cheers and applause from time to time.

The children were so excited that they danced and ran along with the long dragon.

The members of the dragon dance team performed skillfully and coordinated well, showing their dragon dance skills to the fullest.

Their performances not only brought joy to people, but also conveyed blessings and good expectations for the New Year.

After a whole night of lively and wonderful dragon dance performances, the whole village seemed to be overwhelmed by a wave of joy, and the air was filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

Regardless of whether they were men or women, young or old, or veterans and their families who had just joined the Taibai Village family, everyone had bright smiles on their faces and quickly integrated into this new and warm environment.

Mr. Hua, a highly respected man in the village, enthusiastically brought several friends he had known for many years to watch this wonderful dragon dance feast.

After watching it, several people walked slowly towards home while still savoring the spectacular scene.

Xiaoyi followed them silently.

I saw Mr. Hua walking at the front of the team, with his hands leisurely behind his back and his steps steady and powerful.

He looked up at the endless stars in the sky and said with emotion: "The new year has arrived. I believe that our great China will reach even greater heights on the road of development!"

Standing next to him, Mr. Qiu Shulai leisurely lit his beloved pipe, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a cloud of white smoke.

He smiled and replied, "That's right. Your Taibai Village is now very famous. Even the higher-ups are paying special attention to it. If this continues, more and more retired leaders will definitely choose to settle down here for their retirement."

Hearing this, Elder Hua, who had been walking steadily forward, suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Elder Qiu seriously, and said solemnly:

"Those treacherous people had better not come. We must not attract unnecessary trouble and attract the covetousness of those with ulterior motives. We can't let our temporary glory get us carried away and bring disaster to the village."

However, Guan Lao, who was standing aside, did not care about this at all. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"What are you afraid of? With Lao Xiao here, those scoundrels won't dare to act rashly. Anyone who dares to act rashly should first consider whether they have the ability to do it!"

Finally returned to Mr. Hua’s home.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiaoyi started working without stopping.

I saw him quickly walk to where the foot washing buckets were placed, fill them with water one by one, and plug in the power supply to start charging.

Then he turned and walked into the kitchen, scooped a few cups of steaming milk from the pot, and carefully placed them in front of the elderly people.

Then, Xiaoyi showed his skillful and neat techniques and began to massage the bodies of the elderly.

His dexterous hands seemed to have magical powers. He could accurately find every acupuncture point and muscle that needed to be soothed, and gently knead and press them, making the elderly feel extremely comfortable.

Several old men sat on the chairs, enjoying Xiaoyi's attentive service, and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction.

Mr. Hua picked up a glass of milk and took a sip, but then frowned and said, "Oh, I really can't get used to drinking this stuff. I've never been so particular in my life."

Upon hearing this, Elder Guan looked at him with a hint of disdain, then said jokingly, "Hey, Tong and his friends are so kind as to subsidize us with these good things so that we can enjoy them, and you're not happy about it?"

After saying that, he picked up the milk and took a big sip happily.

At this time, Mr. Qiu slowly put down the pipe in his hand, knocked it lightly on the edge of the table a few times, and then echoed: "

That's right, all of Xiaoyi's settings are designed to take care of the elderly. Look how comfortable our lives are now, what's wrong with that? "

However, Mr. Hua shook his head and said with emotion:

"It's not bad at all, it's really great. But once you get older, after a few days of such good times, you can't help but think of your deceased comrades.

Sometimes I think about it and feel that my current happy life seems to have been obtained secretly, and I always feel a little uneasy in my heart..."

After saying this, he sighed deeply, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes.

I saw Mr. Qiu frowning and making a low humming sound from his nose:

"Guilty as a P!

However, when we go to the cemetery, we must pay our respects to our fallen comrades.

We need to put out more offerings of food they like to eat!"

At this time, Guan Lao, who was sitting beside him, slowly put down the cup in his hand and said thoughtfully:

"Hey, that's right!

Isn’t there that old lady Ma in your village?

I heard that the sutras she chanted were very effective.

How about asking her to read the scriptures again?

It's just like the sacrificial ceremony we perform during the Chinese New Year.

Make it grand.

Let our comrades know that we are always thinking of them!"

After saying this, a look of nostalgia and solemnity appeared on Guan Lao's face.
