Chapter 567: Well-Intentioned Arrangements
This ice sporting activity organized by Fusha Town combines the waist drums of people from northern Shaanxi and has the rough and heroic folk customs of the Manchus.
Hundreds of people were wearing ice skates and sliding on the ice surface, and their formation changed from time to time with drum beats. From a distance, they looked yellow clothes, red pants and white headscarf flickered and leaping on the shiny and reflective ice surface, which was beautiful and spectacular.
The entire activity lasted about half an hour. Amid a tight "dongdong" drum beat on the sledge, the entire performance ended after the elderly man finally smashed the drumsticks on the drum surface.
Three hundred people stopped in unison, bowed deeply to everyone present, and then quickly slid away.
After watching this ice sporting performance, the sky has gradually faded and the night is coming.
Li Yuanlang asked Feng Lingxue, "This performance is very good, but this alone is not enough to impress everyone. Comrade Lingxue, are there any other programs arranged?"
"County Magistrate Li, don't worry, the show has just begun." Feng Lingxue smiled and kept it a secret again, continuing to keep the suspense.
Zhang Jian took over the conversation and said, "County Magistrate Li, all county leaders, Lanqi Village is not far ahead. It is a village dominated by Manchus. Please move there and see how?"
Li Yuanlang has noticed that under the afterglow of the sunset, there is a large area of black buildings not far ahead. I guess this is Lanqi Village.
Feng Lingxue suggested, "I have a reluctant request. Can we walk into the village?"
It was only 300 to 500 meters in visually. Li Yuanlang also wanted to exercise his legs and feet, so he agreed happily.
So more than twenty people followed the village road and walked towards the village together under the snow, while the convoy followed behind the group.
It looks not far away, but it actually takes some time to walk.
It was dark early in the north, and it was not even at the entrance of the village. It was almost dark, and it was completely illuminated by the headlights behind it.
Zhang Zhongqiang couldn't help but say: "The deep and shallow one foot in the sky, Feng Lingxue, Zhang Jian, what are you doing? If someone falls down, you must be responsible."
Zhang Jian immediately said: "I'm really sorry to the leaders. In order to show the effect, please work hard for everyone and walk a little further."
"Show the effect?" Zhang Zhongqiang was stunned, stopped and took a deep breath, still confused.
Yang Mei followed up and panted, "Part 1 Zhang, look, Feng Lingxue and the others are testing our physical fitness. In the winter, we can sweat and lose weight."
Faced with the teasing, Feng Lingxue was not slow or quick, and she didn't explain.
I miss her a lesbian, walking on the snowy road, and I can’t see any fatigue, but I’m energetic.
On the contrary, some of these leaders in the county are already sweating and panting.
Li Yuanlang is pretty good. After all, he visited Jinwakhut at night before and had accumulated experience in traveling long distances in the snow. Moreover, he is still young and has a clear physical advantage over those men in his forties.
After walking for about ten minutes, it was completely dark. The lights of each household in Lanqi Village were scattered, revealing the basic outline of the village.
At this moment, colorful lights suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.
Moreover, these lights are all hung on rows of trees on both sides of the village entrance.
Under the light, the trees are covered with ice and snow, emitting bright light, accompanied by the rising cold air, giving people a wonderful feeling of being in a fairyland.
This perfect combination of nature and modernization is very eye-catching and spectacular when everyone is tired because of the journey.
Li Yuanlang suddenly realized that no wonder Feng Lingxue asked everyone to walk hundreds of meters, and what he wanted was this refreshing and bright feeling.
I have to say that Feng Lingxue did take great pains to welcome them to inspect.
Just when he was still feeling this, red lights suddenly lit up in the village, hanging high places, with stars and stars, which looked very beautiful.
"I guess this is because each family has lit lanterns?" Li Yuanlang once saw this scene in Hailang Village, and he couldn't help but feel moved by the scene.
"Yes." Feng Lingxue explained: "The village specially asked every household to hang big red lanterns, and the county leaders were welcome to come and visit."
When she said this, a large group of people came to her, led by Lanqi Village Party Secretary and Village Director.
The two first met Feng Lingxue and Zhang Jian, and under Feng Lingxue's introduction, they shook hands with Li Yuanlang and other county leaders one by one.
These two surnames are special, the branch secretary’s surname is Tong, and the village director’s surname is Guan.
Li Yuanlang said: "You two must be Manchus. The Tong and Guan surnames are one of the eight major Manchu surnames."
Secretary Tong smiled and rubbed his hands, "County Chief Li is very knowledgeable. What you are talking about is that our Tong surname evolved from Tong Jia."
Director Guan followed and said, "We have the Guan surname and the Manchu surname Guarjia."
Zhang Jian suggested: "Let's stop talking here, please ask all the leaders to go to the house to speak."
When walking into Lanqi Village, Li Yuanlang felt the different atmosphere and atmosphere here.
Even in this modern era, most of the houses here are mainly blue brick and tile houses.
Sitting north and south. Unlike the Han people, the chimneys of Manchu houses were not built on the roof, but the chimneys were sitting on the ground.
The chimney is built on one side of the house, with a hole connecting with the kang.
In this way, sitting on the ground can not only extend the length of the indoor flue and provide heating effect, but the key is that the Manchu chimneys have a large overfire and are wide columnar shapes, which are more suitable for repair on the ground.
The village committee is similar to ordinary Han houses, with white tiles pasted on the outside. After entering, the office reading room on the left side, etc., and the right side is a large conference room.
Because there are many people coming, in addition to the county, there are also township and village committee members, and together, there are as many as 30 or 40 people.
Therefore, Secretary Tong and Director Guan let everyone into the conference room.
The tables, chairs and benches had already been put on, and Li Yuanlang and his county and township leaders sat down, while Tong and his village cadres sat opposite him.
The heating in the room was hot and hot, and a few young women immediately gave hot tea to their leaders to drive away the cold.
After everyone sat down, Li Yuanlang looked around and said deeply: "In the afternoon, we just watched your ice sporting performance, and at night I admired the colorful lanterns and big red lanterns in Lanqi Village. And I also noticed that your Lanqi Village retains the traditional characteristics of Manchu houses in the house and construction. This is not easy to do."
Director Guan said: "Most of our Lanqi Village are Manchu people. The ancestors moved from the capital to settle here during the Qianlong period."
"After so many years, the traditional customs of the Manchus have been preserved. There are still many elderly people in our village who can write Manchu and speak Manchu."
Secretary Tong immediately introduced: "Tonight, we will also invite leaders such as County Mayor Li, Deputy County Mayor Zhang, Deputy County Mayor Yang, Secretary Feng, Mayor Zhang and other leaders to taste the unique flavor of our Manchus."
When many people present heard Secretary Tong mention eating, they felt hungry.
Although a live fish banquet at noon made everyone full of food, I couldn't resist the journey through the road and promoted the function of the digestive system, the food in my stomach had been digested almost the same.
Moreover, in winter, people are prone to hunger. Only by eating enough can they remove the cold.
"Okay, I really can't feel hungry if I don't mention it. If you say this, I'll hook my greed." Li Yuanlang half-joking, which made everyone present burst into laughter.
Afterwards, Li Yuanlang and others were taken into a large house next to the village committee.
There are large kangs on both sides of the north and south, and a narrow kang along the gables on the west side of the house connects the kangs on the north and south, commonly known as "Tenzi Kang".
At this moment, a round table was placed on the kangs in the north and south.
Various delicacies are already placed on the table.
Secretary Tong and Director Guan Li asked Li Yuanlang and Feng Lingxue and others to sit on the table on the northern kang, and said that the northern kang was large and the southern kang was small, so please ask all leaders to sit on the northern kang.
The guest was as he pleased, and Li Yuanlang was not polite and took off his shoes and went to the kang first.
Naturally, Li Yuanlong was given the main position. He followed the customs and sat cross-legged. He immediately felt the warm kang under him, and the warmth swept across his body, which was very comfortable and relaxed.
Before Li Yuanlang could enjoy a table of delicious food, his phone suddenly rang. When he looked at the number, he immediately had a question in his heart.
