The Petite Wife of the First Family

Chapter 345: Stepping on Stilts

Xu Xiaowu asked excitedly, "Sister, what else is more meaningful?"

Qian Duoduo said, "Just set off firecrackers and fireworks."

Xu Xiaowu said: "The fireworks are very interesting, but we put on for a long time on New Year's Eve! It's not unusual."

"You set off fireworks on New Year's Eve? Are fireworks precious?" Qian Duoduo asked in surprise.

"Sister Fairy and we made it ourselves, how expensive! We also put a colorful bead tube and a leopard!"

Sun Hao added triumphantly, "I never saw such beautiful fireworks in Los Angeles when I was a child!"

When Qian Duoduo heard Sun Hao's proud words, he said regretfully:

"Wow! Ah! I shouldn't have gone home for the New Year, I would have stayed at the Xu family for the New Year if I knew it earlier."

Xu Zhizhi complained: We made fireworks in the deep mountains a few days before the Chinese New Year, and you were here at that time!

Don't let you know, you just don't know!

She said, "I specially left fireworks for you to set off at night!"

"Thank you Miss Xu, you are really kind! I'm too..."

Before Qian Duoduo's words were finished, Xiao Jingheng interrupted him: "What's the name, listen to my daughter-in-law."

Xu Zhizhi despised men: You're so stingy!

Qian Duoduo, Sun Hao, Xu Xiaowu and the others were all focused on what they were going to do in the afternoon.

Xu Zhizhi could only say: "In the afternoon, we played on stilts. This is a very ancient folk skill performance that appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period."

Xu Xiaowu and the others didn't understand what walking on stilts was, let alone the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

However, it does not prevent them from liking novelty things.

Each of them is very interested, so they are seriously waiting for the next listening.

Butler Wen and the old marquis knew how to walk on stilts.

Butler Wen thought it was Xiao Jingheng who told Xu Zhizhi.

So, they didn't ask, they just perked up their ears and continued to listen.

Xiao Jingheng saw the thoughts of Old Marquis and Butler Wen, and he was shocked.

However, Xiao Jingheng's face was not obvious.

Let them mistakenly think that they told their daughter-in-law!

On the Lantern Festival, this kind of folk activity of walking on stilts is prevalent in many places.

Stilts are generally made of wood, and a support point is made in the planed sticks for the feet to rest on.

Planing sticks is Xu's father's specialty, and there are several teenagers in the deep mountains.

The teenagers quickly found the sticks, and they planed with Father Xu if they knew how to plan them.

The young man who can't plan wood sticks goes to the mountains to chop wood sticks.

Division of labor and cooperation, the action is fast, and soon, everyone who wants to play will have their own sticks.

Then, Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Jingheng tied their legs with ropes and performed on stilts for everyone to see.

She can not only walk freely, but also perform various difficult movements such as splits, jumping stools, twisting Yangko, dancing knives and guns.

He envied Xu Xiaowu so much, "Grandpa, come and support me quickly, I want this, this way."

With the help of his grandfather, he could only walk freely.

Xu Xiaowu learned the splits for a long time.

Qian Duoduo even needs someone to support him when he walks freely.

The teenagers in the deep mountains learned all of Xu Zhizhi's movements in a few seconds.

It was such a beautiful game that Sun Hao and Qian Duoduo were envious.

The old man has been playing with Xu Xiaowu, and later he also tried walking on stilts by himself.

Uh! It's really simple, he has the kung fu, and the balance is very good.

The old man tried several times, and he was able to do all kinds of difficult movements such as dancing knives and guns.

He envied Xu Xiaowu so much, "Grandpa, if you support me, I want to play too."

"Okay, okay, come." The old man was very rare to accompany his little grandson.

Xu Daniu just did a few simple moves, but he had a great time.

Because Wen Yuluo kept praising him.

Xu Daniu was as happy as eating honey, and had a great time.

He supported Wen Yuluo again and played a few simple movements.

Wen Yushu read it several times and felt that he was almost there.

"Uncle Lin, please help me, I want to try it too."

When Lin Zixi was having a good time, he heard Wen Yushu calling him.

He stopped and played with Wen Yushu a few times, waiting for him to apply it alone.

He went to play by himself again. Butler Wen and Father Xu did not dare to play.

However, they also looked very energetic, especially Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Jingheng's two beautiful figures.

They can play a lot of different tricks, and the teenagers are quick to follow.

What a beautiful scenery!

Butler Wen thought it was much more interesting than the lion dance he saw during the Lantern Festival in Los Angeles.

Qian Duoduo pulled Xu Qing to play with him, and he was so happy.

He spent the Lantern Festival in the county seat, watching other people dance lions and set off fireworks.

In eighteen years, he has never personally participated in it.

He used to feel very happy watching the lion dance and fireworks.

In the future, let him just watch other people dance the lion, he may not be satisfied.

The lion dance is an excellent folk art that exists in every dynasty.

During the Lantern Festival or other gatherings, the folks will take the form of lion dances to add to the fun.

However, this activity is generally only available in towns and county towns.

For Qili Village, a poor mountain and a remote valley, there is no one who dances lions!

It is impossible for the lion dance team in the town to come to this poor mountain village.

The lion dances are mainly local people, a band formed by themselves and one or two lions.

The villagers of Qili Village have no food to eat, how can they have any money to buy lions, and they have no such mood to speak of.

They set off a small hanging firecrackers and eat a little meat for the New Year.

Eating glutinous rice balls on Lantern Festival is also an extravagant hope, and people with good conditions go to the town to buy some glutinous rice balls and give them a taste to their children.

Xu's father was usually there during the Lantern Festival in previous years, on the way to go out to work as a carpenter.

There is simply no time and leisure to accompany my sons!

This year, he not only ate glutinous rice balls made by himself, but also watched his daughter and son play on stilts.

With his own father by his side, Father Xu felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

Everyone takes a break when they are tired, like Qian Duoduo and Sun Hao, who are tireless.

They were so happy that they played happily until dinner.

After dinner, the Xu family set off fireworks again.

The children in the village still came over to watch the fireworks near the Xu family yard.

Many village men and village women also came to watch the fireworks together.

It snowed so cold on New Year's Eve, and many people came to watch the fun.

This Lantern Festival, the rain and snow stopped, and the weather warmed up a little.

After the villagers finished their dinner, they went to the gate of Xu's courtyard in twos and threes to watch the fireworks.

Qian Duoduo put more than a dozen colorful bead tubes, but it was still not enough.

Watching fireworks is different from setting fireworks by yourself.

This year's Lantern Festival, the Xu family had a great time.
