"Why is Sister A Qing here too?" Director Ma's eyes lit up when he saw the noble lady, "She is the wife of our branch secretary, we all call her A Qing Sister."
With that said, Director Ma enthusiastically introduced us to Mrs. A Qing.
Mrs. Ah Qing was very polite and shook hands with us one by one. She was obviously a woman who had seen a lot of things in the world. The King Kong Barbie next to her was her niece, called Chu Xin. And the naughty girl was her daughter, called Chu Xin.
See.
"Sister-in-law Aqing, where are you from?" Director Ma asked.
Sister-in-law Ah Qing replied: "We just came down from Jitai Palace, and we went to burn two sticks of incense in the morning with our first intentions."
"Oh, is Master Jitai here?"
Aqing's wife shook her head and said: "Unfortunately, it seems that Master Jitai is not at home. I heard from other people that he has been traveling around the mountains and rivers for the past two days and will not be back for a few days."
"Oh." Director Ma looked at me with some disappointment, "What a coincidence. These leaders also planned to visit the real person, but it's a pity that he is not here."
I saw that Master Jitai was not at home, and if he just went back home, he would be in vain, so I immediately said, "It's okay, we have plenty of time for this survey. Today we will do an on-site visit first, and tomorrow we will conduct a household survey."
, it doesn’t matter if we visit again in a few days.”
Director Ma was obviously not prepared for what I would say. He thought we were just here for a day and would have to go back in the evening. However, since we said that, he couldn’t refuse and immediately said: “It’s easy to talk, then we’ll stay here tonight.”
At my house."
"Hey, Director Ma, although you are the village chief, my Ayi is also the village party secretary. This leader came to inspect, but he did not come to receive him due to official business. We are already very sorry. No matter what, we have to come to my house when we stay tonight.
." Sister-in-law A Qing suddenly said.
Sister-in-law A Qing is a woman with outstanding communication skills, and Director Ma is also very polite to her. Seeing her say this, he didn't feel like saying anything more, so he immediately agreed.
At this moment, Mrs. A Qing looked me up and down, and seemed very satisfied with me. She kept nodding her head, and then nodded frequently to Chu Xin Chu Jian beside her, not knowing what message she was conveying.
Jin Lei and Ruan Lina seemed to have seen something, and they coughed, as if to remind me.
In the afternoon, we wandered around the village and didn't see anything special. In the evening, the village party secretary Ayi returned home. When he heard that a leader was visiting, he immediately ordered Aqing's wife to take out the treasure from the wine cabinet.
Many years of good wine hospitality.
I excused myself by saying that it was not convenient to drink during official business, but I didn’t know that this Ayi was also a capable boss. He said that after five o’clock in the evening, it was the time to get off work. Drinking during off work time did not violate the rules. Then, he gave Aqing’s wife a look.
, the couple sang together, and they convinced me.
"Come on, come on, this is the daughter's red wine that I have treasured for ten years. I drink it when I prepare for my daughter's wedding." As he said that, Ayi filled a glass of wine for me.
"Oh, then I really don't dare to drink it. If you bring it to me today, I won't have anything to eat when my son-in-law comes." I said half-jokingly.
"Hahaha, the boss comes and the son-in-law comes for the same reason!" Mrs. A Qing said to me with a smile.
"this......"
"Come on, come on, let me have a drink with all the leaders first!" With that, Ayi picked up the wine glass and said to the few of us.
"Thank you!" Jin Lei and Ruan Lina also stood up and followed Ayi
The couple toasted.
But I always feel that Ayi and Aqing’s eyes stay on me more often, which in vain adds a lot of embarrassment.
This Nuerhong is really a good wine. Nuerhong is a traditional famous wine in Shaoxing. It is made from fermented glutinous rice. In the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, the air is humid and cold. People often drink this wine to keep out the cold. As early as 304 AD, Ji Han, a native of Shangyu in the Jin Dynasty,
There is a record in the book "The Grass and Trees of the South" written by the author, that red wine for girls was a must-have for rich families in the old days when giving birth to a daughter and marrying off her daughter. When a daughter cries for the first time, it will definitely make every father's heart beat with excitement.
The glutinous rice from the fields turned into three jars of daughter's red. They were carefully sealed and buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the backyard, just like a father's love that was deeply hidden. When he had nothing to do, he would step under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree a few times.
It seemed that my heart felt more at ease. I looked back at my daughter. She had a red headband on her head, and her eyebrows were like willow leaves during the Qingming Festival, getting brighter and brighter day by day.
This custom has been followed for a long time in Shaoxing, Zhejiang since ancient times. When the daughter gets married at the age of eighteen, she will use wine as a dowry gift and send it to her husband's family. According to the old Shaoxing rules, the first three bowls scooped out from the altar
Wine should be presented to the daughter's father-in-law, biological father and husband respectively, which means to pray for a healthy life and a prosperous family. In the Shaoxing area, the custom of brewing wine for the daughter has been passed down for a long time. The famous patriotic poet Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty lived in Dongguan.
When I was in the ancient town, I drank my daughter's red wine and wrote the famous poem "I just want to move to Dongguan and watch the moonlight in the lake every night."
"What's the origin of this Ner Hong?" Jin Lei and Ruan Lina are not from Shaoxing and don't know much about Ner Hong.
"This daughter is so red, there is really a story." Ayi said with a smile, "Once upon a time, there was a tailor master in Shaoxing. He wanted to have children after he married his wife. One day, he found that his wife was pregnant. He was very happy and excitedly
He hurried home and brewed a few jars of wine to entertain his relatives and friends when he was about to have a baby. Unexpectedly, the tailor had a patriarchal mentality and his wife gave birth to another daughter. Therefore, the daughter was not taken out when she was one month old, and she was buried in it.
Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Time flies. My daughter grew up and became smart. She inherited the craftsmanship of a tailor and got married to the tailor's apprentice. He happily married his daughter. On the day of the wedding, they served wine and entertained the guests. The tailor master
I was very happy drinking, and suddenly I remembered the jars of wine buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree more than ten years ago, so I dug them out to treat the guests. As a result, when I opened the jar, the aroma was fragrant, the color was rich and the taste was mellow, and it was extremely delicious. So, everyone
This kind of wine was called Nuer Hong. After that, when the next door neighbors and families from far and near gave birth to daughters, they would make wine and bury them, and when they got married, they would dig out wine to entertain guests, and this became a custom."
"I see, I didn't expect that my daughter's red wine has such an allusion."
"Come on, come on, let me toast you all again!"
However, although this wine is delicious, it is easy to get drunk if you drink too much. Jin Lei and Ruan Lina got drunk without paying attention. A Yi and I pushed the glasses to the cup and walked for dozens of rounds, and we were almost exhausted.
At this time, Mrs. A Qing called out "First time we meet," and then I was helped to the room.
I just felt light-headed and fell asleep when I got to the room. I had no idea that the two little girls, First Intention and First Meeting, stripped me completely. Aunt Aqing asked her precious daughter and niece to wait on me while I slept.
It's a waste of money.
Maybe in their hearts, I am really a leader.
They will never miss such an opportunity to cling to the powerful.
The next morning, when I woke up, I rubbed my groggy eyes, opened the window, and saw heavy fog.
"Is it foggy?" I asked
I was a little skeptical about this at first. After all, it’s not autumn yet and it’s not yet time for fog.
However, because the village is in a valley, fog is not a big deal. However, visibility is extremely low when there is heavy fog. The old people often say: "Don't look back when there is fog. Your feet will be mixed with stones. Ghosts will walk around you. Two people will bump into each other."
."
"Mr. Lin, you're awake." Chuxin walked in from the outside wearing a silk pajamas, not feeling embarrassed at all.
"Oh, good morning, Miss Chuxin."
"Good morning."
"Why is it so foggy today?"
"Oh, heavy fog is common here." Chuxin replied, "On foggy mornings, other villages start to get busy, but no one in Jitai Village dares to go out, but this kind of heavy fog doesn't happen often.
Because people often get lost in the heavy fog, and even after walking for dozens of minutes they can't find the big toilet just to the east of the village."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." Chuxin nodded solemnly, "I heard from my grandpa that when he was young, his neighbors in the village often told him: Don't be greedy for hoeing early in the morning when there is fog. Getting lost in the fog is a trivial matter.
If you catch the ghost market, you will die."
"Ghost gathering?"
"Yeah, at that time, grandpa didn't think that a fog would be able to do anything to him. In addition, it was a time when there was no work, so he had to work more. When he got there, the fog had almost dissipated, and he was just in time to work.
In this way, grandpa carried the hoe alone and walked towards the cornfield in his memory. After walking for about 10 minutes, grandpa noticed something was wrong. It was so early in the morning. There seemed to be someone following him behind him, as if urging grandpa to hurry up.
Click to go. Grandpa looked back, but there was nothing but fog. He didn't pay much attention to it, and walked straight in the direction of Baomi Di. Unexpectedly, this feeling became stronger and stronger. Grandpa turned around suddenly, but
I saw a black shadow, which was so dazzling in the white fog. The black shadow floated slowly and slowly approached Grandpa. Grandpa took a breath of air and thought to himself: Damn it, what is this?
What a thing. Why are you walking like this? The heavy fog blocked your sight, it was blurry, and the black shadow floated to nowhere. Grandpa could only console himself and said: It might be a big bird, an eagle. But he still felt sad.
I don’t dare to be careless anymore. Even if it’s a big bird flying at low altitude, it’s as big as an eagle and it’s going to be very painful if it catches it.”
"Miss Chuxin, don't scare me with ghost stories." I said half-jokingly.
Chu Xin appears to be very serious. She is already in good shape, but when she is serious, she becomes more serious, not angry and self-defeating, "Everything I say is true."
"What happened next?" I had no choice but to continue listening to her talk.
"Later, grandpa continued to walk forward, and he walked for more than 20 minutes without realizing it. Grandpa himself didn't know where he was. He only knew that with the strength of his feet, he should arrive at this time every day. So he kept his eyes and moved forward with all his strength.
Fang took a look and saw only a blur of colorful flowers in front of him. Grandpa thought they were corn stalks and corn silks, so he strode forward. Unexpectedly, when he walked closer, he saw that this was not his own corn field.
Directly in front is a stage, on which two men and women in costumes are singing a duo that my grandfather only heard later, and the bottom is crowded with people listening to the opera."
"Really, is there such a strange thing?" I deliberately pretended to be surprised.
"Isn't that right? I didn't feel anything like it just now, but when I got closer, I realized that not only was there no fog in this area, but you could only hear the shouts of the onlookers when you got closer. The people watching the theater in the stands were all dressed like grandpa.
