Hai Ha Jinxi took his daughter Xia Xia back to Daliang Mountain for the New Year, which was a meaningful trip back to his hometown.
Hai Ha Jinxi is Li Yapeng's wife, a native Yi girl. Many years ago, Hai Ha Jinxi left his hometown of Daliangshan and embarked on a journey of study and career. In the city, she met Li Yapeng from other places, and the two fell in love and got married, forming a small family. Their daughter, Xia Xia, has lived in a forest of steel and concrete since she was a child.
With the passage of time, the hustle and bustle of the city has not diminished Hae Ha Jinxi's longing for his hometown. She often told Li Yapeng and Xia Xia about the customs of Daliang Mountain, describing the continuous mountains, the smell of yaks everywhere, and the Yi culture passed down from generation to generation.
This year's Spring Festival is approaching, and Hai Ha Jinxi came up with the idea of going home for the holiday. She is looking forward to taking Li Yapeng and Xia Xia back to Daliang Mountain, reuniting with her family, and letting Xia Xia feel the original national culture.
Let's go to Daliang Mountain for the New Year! One day, Hai Ha Jinxi said to Li Yapeng.
Li Yapeng knew that his wife missed his hometown, and readily agreed: "Okay, just let Xia Xia take a look at your hometown and feel the festive atmosphere of our Yi nationality." ”
So, they began to prepare to return to Daliang Mountain.
The day before the Spring Festival, Hai Ha Jinxi, Li Yapeng and Xia Xia stepped on the train to Daliang Mountain. Watching the familiar scenery outside the car window retreat little by little, Hae Ha Jinxi was excited. She had begun to fantasize about seeing her family.
The train pulls into the Daliang Mountain area, and the continuous mountains and jungles come into view.
Mom, is this your home? It's beautiful! Xiao Xia Xia said happily.
Yes, this is Mom's home. Hae Ha Jinxi gently stroked her daughter's hair, "We're going to see grandma and grandma soon!" ”
After getting off the train, a group of enthusiastic clansmen were already waiting for them in the waiting room. Seeing Hae Ha Jinxi, everyone rushed up excitedly.
Ha Jinxi is back! Ha Jinxi is back with her son-in-law and granddaughter! ”
Quick, let Ha Jinxi introduce his son-in-law and granddaughter! ”
Hai Ha Jinxi happily introduced Li Yapeng and Xia Xia to everyone. Li Yapeng also greeted everyone in a Yi language he had learned. This made the onlookers laugh and praise Li Yapeng for speaking Yi so well.
Please go home and sit down, and prepare a table full of delicious food, all waiting for you! An aunt said enthusiastically.
A group of people laughed and drove a few vans to Haiha's house.
Hai Ha Jinxi's hometown is a typical Yi village, surrounded by rolling mountains, and the smell of yaks wafts everywhere in the village. These yaks are the most important property of every household in the village. At this time, the yaks are also grazing leisurely, making mooing sounds from time to time.
When the convoy came to the door of Hai Ha Jinxi's hometown, he saw the red lanterns prepared in the yard and the red couplets pasted on the lintel, which looked very lively. At the gate of the courtyard stood Hai Ha Jinxi's parents, as well as several elderly people wearing traditional Yi costumes.
Mother! Father! Hai Ha Jinxi was pleasantly surprised, and ran to his parents in three steps and two steps.
Kid, it's back! The old people were also very excited, and hugged their daughter with open arms.
This is Xia Xia, right? Looks exactly like when you were a kid! Haiha's mother happily teased her granddaughter.
Li Yapeng also stepped forward and greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The old couple was very satisfied with this nephew and praised him with a smile.
Come in and sit down! Haiha's father was enthusiastic, "Mom made a table of delicacies, all of which are your favorite food!" ”
A group of mermaids entered the living room, and both Hae Ha Jinxi and Xia Xia widened their eyes in surprise. The dining table in the room is full of brightly colored Yi specialties: barley wine, yams, oily meat, sauerkraut, baba, buckwheat rice, etc., all exuding an attractive aroma.
Wow, it's hearty! Xiao Xia Xia couldn't help but exclaim.
Give Xia Xia a taste! Haiha's mother said with a smile.
The family happily sat around the dinner table. Xia Xia curiously tried the taste of various dishes, and from time to time let out a surprised exclamation: "Hey, how is this poop sweet and sour!" "This oily meat is so fragrant! ”
While eating, Hae Ha Jinxi introduced the story behind these delicacies to her daughter. She told that these dishes come from the land of Daliang Mountain and the wisdom of the people, and are the cooking methods and recipes they have accumulated for generations. These foods bear witness to and pass on the long history of the Yi people.
Listening to my mother's explanation, Xia Xia delicacies are in the mouth, and my heart is also filled with warmth. She began to have a kind of family affection that blood is thicker than water, and she also had a yearning for this homeland she had never met.
After lunch, the family of three who came from afar was ready to rest for a while. Haiha's mother has already cleaned up Haiha Jinxi's bedroom when she was a child, waiting for her daughter's family to live.
Pushing open the door, Hai Ha Jinxi was pleasantly surprised. Mom cleaned up her little bed, and there were still dolls from her elementary school days on the windowsill. All the objects are quietly waiting for her return, telling her the eternal truth of the passage of time but the eternal love of mothers.
Thank you, Mom! Hae Ha Jinxi hugged her mother and burst into tears. She felt like she had returned to the bosom of her childhood, gaining a sense of security that she had not felt for a long time.
Okay, okay, go to sleep! There are plenty of activities in the evenings. Haiha's mother touched her daughter's hair lovingly.
Hae Ha Jinxi's family soon fell asleep.
At night, the village is filled with smoke, and every household begins to prepare for the yak torch making activity. This is a traditional performance of the Yi people in Daliang Mountain, with torches made of tree branches to draw brilliant light and shadow in the dark night, with the song and dance of the tribesmen, showing a warm and primitive scene.
Hai Ha Jinxi's family also came to the open space at the entrance of the village. Night had just fallen, and the distant mountain peaks loomed in the moonlight. A roaring bonfire has been lit in the square. A group of young Yi people with yak torches fluttering and dancing, with the warm melody played by gongs and drums, performed a fierce dance.
Wow! It's amazing! Xiao Xia Xia was fascinated by it, and kept filming this wonderful performance with her mobile phone.
Xia Xia, mom will take you to dance together! Hae Ha Kim Hee took her daughter's hand and ran into the dance procession. She raised her handle, shook her shoulders, and danced to the beat of the drums. The villagers also cheered when they saw it, and they all made way for the mother and daughter to perform.
That's great! Li Yapeng shouted loudly for his wife and daughter on the side.
Although Xia Xia is not very good at dancing, she also writhes awkwardly with her mother. At the end of the song, the people around applauded warmly, and they praised Xia Xia for her good looks and smart movements.
Hae Ha Kim Hee's daughter is awesome! ”
Looks like she's going to grow up like a big beauty! ”
Xia Xia was very happy, and she was no longer shy, and ran with the children of the other clan to play.
Hai Ha Jinxi pulled Li Yapeng and sat around the bonfire with the others and chatted. The elders of the village were glad that Hae Ha Jinxi had come back to visit, and had brought a well-behaved daughter and a qualified son-in-law. Everyone talked about the interesting story of Hae Ha Jinxi when she was a child, and also recalled the experience of participating in a song and dance competition and winning a prize when she was in elementary school.
That trophy is still on Mom's cupboard! Haiha's mother said proudly.
At this time, the other young people also pulled up Hae Ha Jinxi and asked her to perform a song.
Come on, come on, let's perform a song with our most beautiful Ha Jinxi! ”
Okay, okay, I love singing the most! Hae Ha Kim stood up happily.
She cleared her throat and began to sing a beautiful Yi folk song "Ashima". This song praises the green mountains and green waters of Daliang Mountain and the embrace of Mother Earth, Hai Ha Jinxi uses her pure and moving voice to float the song in the night sky like a white cloud.
The people sitting around listened quietly, and from time to time they exclaimed in admiration. Xiao Xia Xia also ran over, sat on Li Yapeng's lap, and watched her mother sing emotionally curiously. Li Yapeng stroked his daughter's little head while being proud of his wife's singing voice.
This folk song is also sung into the depths of everyone's heart. Everyone felt that the roots of the nation were pulsating in the song, like the mother's fetal movement, like the pulse of life. This long-standing force inspires every Yi people to strive for the continuation of the nation, and also nourishes their hearts in the bustling city.
The night was spent in singing, dancing and laughter. The bonfires burned out and the people went back to their homes.
Hae Ha Jinxi's family stayed in their hometown for a few days. In the past few days, Haiha's mother has taken Xia Xia around to play and taught her how to make handicrafts at home. Haiha's father also took Li Yapeng everywhere to watch the scene, so that he could learn more about the life of the Yi people.
This trip back to their hometown was very rewarding for the family of three. It not only deepened their attachment to their hometown and relatives, but also gave Xia Xia a more three-dimensional and thorough understanding of the history and culture of her own nation. She understands that the continuation of the ethnic group requires the inheritance and development of her generation of young people, so that it can bloom more brilliantly in modern society.
