"It's so late, you still want to go back to Tianjiagou?"
After dinner, it was already past six o'clock. He received an invitation from Tian Qiushui's mother and daughter to visit Tianjiagou. Ni Bingyan agreed. He thought he would go tomorrow, but he didn't expect to leave immediately.
Looking at the sky, she hesitated.
It was so late at night, so I went home with someone without bringing any gifts, and it was really rude to go with so many mouths.
"Well, I just got out of school for a while. My cousin's family has a car. He came to the city to do errands today. When he goes back, he can take my mother and me with him on the way. We can save some fares."
The girl pointed to the school not far behind her and explained to her.
Tian Qiushui is a very cheerful person. When she first saw Ni Bingyan, she thought she had seen it wrong. After confirming it, she fell into ecstasy!
When Duanmu Li stood in front of Ni Bingyan and looked at her and her mother with a hint of defensiveness, she realized that she and Sister Bingbing had never met in reality.
Suddenly I had a deep understanding of these two words.
One is "abrupt" and the other is "presumptuous".
Tian Qiushui blushed.
She didn't want to be regarded as a bad person by Sister Bingbing, so she quickly revealed her identity.
She is not a bad person!
Unexpectedly, Sister Bingbing actually remembered her and walked towards her.
Tian Qiushui felt so nervous!
She is really tall, thin and beautiful!
When we met in real life, Sister Bingbing was not dressed up as she did for the event. She was wearing a hiking jacket and carrying a hiking bag because she had just eaten and she still smelled of food.
She seemed to be easy to get along with, but when she got closer, Tian Qiu Shui still felt a little shy and didn't know how to talk to her.
Fortunately, Sister Bingbing is very good at finding topics.
Because of the letter, Tian Qiushui quickly became familiar with her, and even at the urging of her mother, she plucked up the courage to invite them to her home!
After receiving the invitation, Ni Bingyan was confused at first.
It's not summer vacation yet, and it's not the weekend. Why do the mother and daughter want to go home?
I remember Tian Qiushui told her in his letter that it takes more than two hours of driving from home to the city, which is not really close.
Her parents also came to the city to accompany her when she was studying. When the weather was hot, they sold jelly noodles, and when the weather was cold, they sold glutinous rice balls, fried potatoes, and fried skewers.
The simple couple who came from the Miao village could not even speak Mandarin when they first entered the city, so they mustered up the courage to take to the streets and learn how to cook and eat like others.
After more than a year, I found that it was much easier to make money outside than to dig for food in the soil, so I gave up the idea of leaving my children to go out to work, and peacefully set up a small stall near the school to accompany my children to school. .
The family stays together, the children's academic performance steadily improves, and the parents gradually understand the secrets of making money, so life must be very smooth.
Everyone couldn't quite understand what Tian's mother said, and Tian Qiushui had to work part-time as a translator, but everyone could feel the happiness and heartfelt enthusiasm that filled Tian's face.
"Where is your father? Isn't he going back?"
Thinking of this, Ni Bingyan asked Tian Qiushui.
"Tomorrow is Tomb-Sweeping Day, and there will be ancestor worship in the village. Dad bought things in the morning and went back early to make preparations."
Ni Bingyan suddenly became embarrassed.
"Wouldn't it be good for us to be guests at this time..."
"Hey! The Qingming Festival is very lively in our village! This year is the Year of the Sheep Festival, so it will definitely be more lively! We will also invite relatives and friends to come with us. Didn't you say you would come to my hometown to see me if you had the chance? You I’m so busy, I don’t know when I’ll come next, but I’ve already come...”
Despite her young age, the little girl is very good at persuading people.
Ni Bingyan couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
Rather than going to the scenic spots, it seems quite interesting to experience the real life of the Miao village?
The cousin who picked up the mother and daughter came quickly. When he saw Ni Bingyan, he didn't recognize him at first. When Tian Qiushui said that this was Ni Bingyan who had built more than a dozen schools in their area, his uncle immediately became happy. While standing there, he called Zhaili and informed his family that Ni Bingyan was going to be a guest.
The uncle spoke in Miao language, but Ni Bingyan couldn't understand it. The general meaning was translated by Tian Qiushui to her.
Now I have to go if I don’t want to.
Because of their enthusiasm, we have to go even if it’s dark.
Duanmu Li drove Ni Bingyan and two strong photographers in a car, following Uncle Tian Qiushui's car, while Wang Xi took the other two cars to a nearby shopping mall to start a large purchase.
If you prepare in a hurry, you will inevitably not be so considerate, but you still need to have the proper etiquette.
On the way, Duanmu Li drove slowly because he was not familiar with the road conditions. Uncle Tianjia expressed his understanding and drove slowly.
Wang Xi and others quickly bought things and followed, and Duanmuli's speed quickly increased.
The three people in the car in front realized that they were a group of three cars.
When I figured out what was going on, I couldn't help but be deeply moved.
This is not a matter of things, but a matter of etiquette and respect.
Ni Bingyan didn't know what they were thinking. At this moment, he was checking Wang Xi's shopping list one by one. When he saw that it was OK, he didn't say anything more.
Because the road has been built in the past two years, and I was driving a private car, I didn't have to take a long detour. In just over an hour, several cars parked outside the village.
Under the darkness of night, a large number of wooden stilted buildings were scattered on a hillside.
Because it is relatively remote, the village is relatively small, and there are very famous Miao village attractions in nearby cities, it looks very simple and has a strong atmosphere of life. It looks like it has been peaceful for years and has not been disturbed by the world.
It was already after seven o'clock when the group arrived, and the dim lights of every house were dotted with dots, decorating the entire hillside, as if the stars were rolling backwards. It was so beautiful!
When Ni Bingyan saw it, he opened the SLR hanging around his neck and took a few photos over there.
There is a dam at the foot of the mountain, and in front of the village there is an archway with a wooden tile roof. It looks complex in craftsmanship and has a sense of history.
At this time, a large group of Tian clan members in costumes were already waiting here.
A large square table was placed on the only way into the village.
Seeing Ni Bingyan and others getting out of the car, a respected old man immediately started singing.
The song was desolate, distant, and had a sense of history. Even if he couldn't understand what he was singing, Ni Bingyan miraculously understood what he meant.
Welcome, welcome! Distinguished guests from afar!
A group of men stood aside and played the Lusheng. Women, old or young, all dressed in national costumes, formed a circle around them and began to dance to the music.
Ni Bingyan encountered such a battle for the first time. Standing at the front of the crowd, he was at a loss.
The dance was not difficult, but there was no one to pull her along.
After the dance was over, a respectable old man came over and led them to the square table with the wine bowl.
Across the table, Ni Bingyan could smell the smell of alcohol.
The etiquette of welcoming guests in the Miao village is to stop the door and drink wine!
It's not like the tourist attractions where there's a twelve-stop bar, and all the dancers are young girls with outstanding looks.
The ceremony here is grand but not complicated.
Ni Bingyan didn't expect that these people would prepare these for her so late at night. She couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, Wang Xi went to buy the gifts instead of empty-handed, otherwise how embarrassing it would be now!
The old man started singing again to persuade him to drink. Ni Bingyan couldn't understand it, but there was a translator named Tian Qiushui standing next to her!
Recalling the fear of being dominated by alcohol a few days ago, Ni Bingyan looked embarrassed and didn't know how to refuse.
To make matters worse, as a tone-deaf person, it was difficult for her to sing, let alone respond to her master.
Goda Qiushui said that usually when guests come, the guest and the host always sing to each other.
The old man was very considerate and brought her a bowl directly, with only a light layer of wine on the bottom of the bowl.
Ni Bingyan took it with both hands and sighed.
Then an old lady came over and took her hand, leading her to a big house.
The rest of the team followed her.
The ceremony is solemn but not complicated.
The people were enthusiastic but not out of touch.
When Ni Bingyan came here for the first time, he fell in love with it.
