Peasant women who work in the fields usually wear a black turban.

Ivan Qiu, who often ran around in the village since he was a child, was naturally not surprised. He also came to watch the annual blind date competition to see which big brother won which big sister in singing and how they performed.

Come together.

Of course, when Ivan Qiu was not yet sixteen, the custom here was that he was not allowed to enter the venue, and he could only follow his parents around outside the venue. And the venue mentioned here is not an event venue covered with red cloth, but a venue covered with red cloth.

The event will be hosted by the more knowledgeable elders in the village, as well as drummers, trumpet players and flute players.

In those days, anyone who knew a skill that others didn't understand was collectively called a master. The abbreviation was often preceded by the word "master" after the skill to show respect.

Speaking of duet singing, it is quite special. Throughout history, women have sung at higher places and men have sung at lower places.

Not far from the event venue, there is a stair-like venue divided into two levels, each level can accommodate three to four hundred people.

And every year, the blind date conference is not only held in this village, but also invites young men and women from nearby villages to participate. The only way is to roughly divide the villages into teams to sing duets, with each village representing a team.

Seven village representative teams came this year, which means that thousands of people came to watch this year's blind date conference.

Each village actively raises funds for these activities. Although it is not much, it can be maintained until the end of the activity.

At the end of each event, more or less a dozen couples of men and women will hold a wedding ceremony. At the same time, everyone present will be given a piece of glutinous rice and an egg, symbolizing harmony and beauty.

People began to gather around the venue one after another, and Ivan Qiu naturally gathered with the young men from his village. This year, their village chief won the first place in the lottery, so the first to appear was naturally the young men and women from Dongfeng Village.

Standing on the event anchor venue covered with red cloth was an old man with a straight face and a yellowish complexion covered with wrinkles. You could only tell that he was an old man by looking at his wrinkles. His movements were resolute and resolute, and he was wearing a Chinese tunic suit that made people look at him.

He has a kind of righteousness and awe-inspiring attitude, which makes people think of a gentleman as his first impression.

"Dear fellow villagers, women and elders, thank you for not forgetting the celebrations and festivals left to us by our predecessors despite your busy schedules." At this time, the loudspeaker spread what he just said around the village chief's mouth, and everyone outside the venue

Consciously they quieted down and stared at the village chief in a Chinese tunic suit on the activity field.

"I also appreciate that young men and women of sufficient age can actively participate, and I hope that you can bring your significant other with you on this beautiful day, so that your parents will have an extra helper for the autumn harvest this year!" The village chief changed the topic and made a cold joke,

It made all the men, women and children present grin.

"Yi Lao has told me several times that he hopes his grandchildren will get married and start a family as soon as possible, especially the third child, I Wanqiu. Wanqiu, please don't let Yi Lao down." The village chief still made this joke, and the crowd

The room exploded instantly, and the young girls all stuck their heads out to look at Ivan Qiu, and then they started whispering and laughing.

Ivan Qiu blushed with embarrassment at being called out on the spot.

On weekdays, the village chief would come home if he had anything to do. Sometimes he would talk to his grandfather about things in and outside the village, and sometimes he would discuss some good policies of the party. After all, Yi Shicai had worked as an accountant in the county seat, and now he is retired at home, but his prestige in the local area is still the same.

Very tall, Yi Shicai is known as a kind-hearted person in the local area. For example, if any family has a family dispute, they will ask him to resolve the case. For example, if any family is unable to open the pot for a while, Yi Shicai will come to borrow food and rice.

He was always very enthusiastic about lending, even if he knew that others could not repay him, he would still lend it out resolutely. When the borrower did not send rice next year, Yi Shicai's wife would inevitably nag him. Yi Shicai always said: "Good man"

There will be good news."

Therefore, people in the local area rarely call him by his first name Yi Shicai, but rather respectfully call him Yi Lao.

In Yi Shicai's opinion, he liked these non-honorary titles, but he never told anyone about them. After all, he was the only person in the village who had worked as an accountant in the county.

The village chief naturally treats Ivan Qiu like a godson, but the village chief likes to joke. Although the village under his governance is not outstanding, it can still maintain the most basic things of the entire village. Once there is something to fight for

The village chief made no secret of his efforts to fight for the whole village. For example, he fought for some rice grains for some poor farmers. Being able to receive more than ten kilograms would also relieve the family's food shortage.

"The following blind date conference officially opens." The crowd outside the venue stopped talking about Ivan Qiu, but continued to look at a large bronze bell. The large bronze bell was usually located in the granary of the village.

When the land is divided into households, this bell is the starting bell for the whole village. It will ring on time every day, regardless of wind or rain.

At that time, the bell was hung on the pavilion outside the granary, with a thick and heavy mountain tree hanging next to it. Every time the mountain tree hit the bronze bell, it would always cause a clear sound to echo in the sky above Dongfeng Village.

Today, the bell has been carried out and hung long ago. The mountain trees are still hitting the bronze bell, sending out clear echoes that float in everyone's ears. The sound is not very loud, and it is obviously a pushover.

Shanmu people are not very hardworking.

As the sound sounded six times, the sound of striking the copper bell also disappeared. These six times are also very particular. The number of them must conform to the current festival. Six has always been a very smooth number. Today is a blind date.

In general, six is ​​the best lucky number.

"The duet order will be announced below, first Dongfeng Village, second Fenggu Village, third Chengxiang Village, fourth Huaihua Village, fifth..."
