Let the stars and moon of literature illuminate you and meSincere creation, stay tuned.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of that year, my mother took me to the county town to see the social fire.
I had breakfast with my mother, set off when the sun climbed up the treetops, walked 18 miles of dirt roads, and arrived at Dongguan, the county seat, at noon. The city was crowded with people, beating gongs and drums, and bustling and joyful, all of which I longed for along the way, but at this time I was not interested. In the morning, I ate sweet potato porridge, my stomach was growling, and my legs were weak.
I said, "Mom, I'm hungry." ”
Mom smiled: "I know you're hungry, let's go, let's go to the restaurant to eat!" ”
After entering the restaurant and sitting at the dining table, my mother said to the shopkeeper, "Give my baby a bowl of somen noodles and scoop me a bowl of noodle soup." ”
After a while, a large bowl of somen noodles and a large bowl of noodle soup were served.
I pushed: "Mom, you eat noodles!" ”
Mom said, "Nonsense! You're growing a mile! Mom took the steamed bun and ate it in the noodle soup, which was soft and warm. ”
I just eat somen noodles. The somen noodles are oily, too delicious and delicious. At first, I thought about leaving some leftover for my mother, but before I knew it, I finished eating the noodles and drank the soup. Mom finished eating early, watched me finish eating, and asked:
Full? I said, "It's full." He burped.
Mom smiled. My stomach stopped screaming, my legs didn't go soft, and I went to the street with my mother to watch the social fire.
Shehuo is so beautiful!
My mother and I watched Yangge in Dongguan. A team of people and horses, with banners and colorful flags in front and a huge cowhide drum, and actors in green clothes and green pants behind, rubbing rouge and powder, twisting Yangge happily with the beat of the drum. At the end of the procession are figures dressed in costumes with painted faces, either "riding" a "donkey", or "sitting" a "sedan chair", or "rowing" a "boat", and also twisting Yangge to the rhythm. The earth shook as the drum beat so loudly that no one could help but be excited.
I watched the lion dance in Xiguan. Two big golden-haired lions, dressed in red and hanging colors, play or fight in the rhythm of gongs and drums, shaking their heads, swinging their tails, straightening their bodies, and opening and closing their huge mouths. First on the ground, and then on a long case more than a meter high, making all kinds of fighting, biting and throwing in the air. When it is on the ground, it makes people laugh, and when it is on the case, it is terrifying, and it is very afraid that the lion will accidentally fall down.
I watched the long dragon dance in Beiguan. Two long dragons, one red and one yellow, in the open space in front of the department store, around one red and one yellow two beads, or stretch, or coil, or rise, or swoop, soaring clouds and fog, back and forth. The sparse or dense drum beats accompany the rhythm of the dragon dance, which is exciting. When the dance reached its climax, firecrackers exploded in the dragon array, and the scene was extremely hot.
I watched the stilts in Nanguan. Many characters who painted faces and wore costumes, such as Sun Wukong, Tang Seng, Sha Monk, Zhu Bajie, Bao Gong, Qin Xianglian, Chen Shimei, etc., all stepped on stilts, lined up in strange queues, and walked forward in a mighty way. The stilts are so high that they are scary to look at, but the characters walk easily, and from time to time they make funny and thrilling actions such as spinning, walking backwards, jumping, and falling.
Shehuo is good-looking, but it is regrettable to see it. It's okay to look at the stilts, the human wall can't block the view, and it's not okay to look at anything else, twisting Yangge, lion dance, dancing the dragon, my mother and I are low, and I can only see the upper half of the scene on tiptoe, and the following scene can only occasionally see some from the cracks in the people. There were a lot of people, and my mother was afraid that I would get separated, so I couldn't squeeze to the front of the crowd by holding my hand. I kept tiptoeing and complaining, "I can't see! Mom said, "Okay, Mom squats down and sets you up, okay?" "I'm not, I'm in the fourth grade, how can I put it on my mother's neck again.
When watching the lion dance in Xiguan, I couldn't see the lower body of the lion on tiptoe, I was worried, and suddenly I saw the buildings on both sides of the street, the balcony and the corridor were full of men, women and children, they were condescending, comfortable and leisurely, chatting while watching, some people were still holding a tea jar, drinking tea while watching, which made people envious to death. I pointed to the balcony corridor and said to my mother
Mom, I'm going to go up there and see it! ”
Mom looked at the place I was pointing at, and said angrily, "Hanwa! That's the balcony and corridor of people in the city, how can you let us go up?! ”
When I listened, my little heart swelled with helplessness and injustice. After thinking about it, I said to my mother:
Mom, I want to study hard, go to high school, go to college, be a city person, and let you watch the social fire on the balcony in the city! ”
Mom didn't seem to hear me clearly, looked at me in surprise, and said, "Shi Yan, what did you say?" ”
I repeat what I just said.
Now my mother heard clearly, and my mother squatted down, grabbed my other hand, looked into my eyes and said, "Okay! I'm ambitious! Mom remembers your words! ”
I nodded and said, "Hmm! ”
After watching the stilts in Nanguan, the sun is in the west, and my mother wants to take me home. I remembered that there were a lot of lights on both sides of the street, there were Zhu Bajie carrying his daughter-in-law, there were eight immortals crossing the sea, and Chang'e running to the moon ......It must look good at night. I also heard that fireworks are going to be set off in People's Square at night. He said, "I won't go back!" I also want to watch the lights, watch the fireworks! Mom said: "It's dark in a blink of an eye, don't go back, don't you be afraid of wolves when you walk at night?" "I had to go home with my mom three times at a time.
By the time we reached our village on an 18-mile dirt road, it was completely dark. I thought of the county seat again. In the night, those lights should be as dazzling as flowers, and the county must be full of colorful lights, surging and laughing. There are also fireworks, which become colorful dreams as huge cannons rush into the sky. My mother and I could only walk to the black-lit village.
After being depressed for a long time, I suddenly said again
Mom, when you grow up, I must let you watch the social fire on the balcony in the city! ”
Mom believes in Shi Yan's words, Mom is waiting for that day! Mom said solemnly.
After that Lantern Festival, I studied harder.
Five years later, I became the only student in the village school to be admitted to the county high school.
Three years later, I was admitted to the National Normal University and became the first university student in the village.
After graduating from Normal University, I was assigned to teach at the junior high school in Longtou Town, where my hometown is located, and failed to enter the county seat.
After working in Longtou Town for eight years, I only took my mother to the city to see the Shehuo once. I took my mom on a motorcycle. Mom is obviously old, and after walking around the street for a while, she has to find a staircase to sit down and rest for a while. But Mom's head is very high. On the way to and fro, my mother repeatedly praised the motorcycle for being fast, like the wind.
Mom didn't mention the topic of the year, and it seems that she has long forgotten it.
I still remember. I feel a deep sense of guilt for my mother.
After working in the town until the ninth year, the county No. 1 high school was open to the whole county to recruit teachers, and I took the exam, and entered the county No. 1 high school with the second grade in the county to teach, and soon moved into the family building facing the street behind the first high school.
It's the Lantern Festival again. During the day, I stood on the balcony of my house and watched the fire; In the evening, I went to the street to see the light show, and I stood on the balcony to watch the fireworks not far away. In the earth-shattering cannon, the sky is constantly blooming with incomparably large and gorgeous ......flowers
On this day, I thought of my mother again and again, and remembered the conversation I had with my mother. When I looked back, my mother was on the wall of my study, smiling kindly and ......relieved
