When he walked out of the building and saw the red firecracker paper all over the floor, as well as his relatives and friends who were in high spirits, the regret in Chen Xing's heart was quickly relieved.
I didn’t catch the beginning of the ceremony, but I also caught up with the end.
The joy on everyone's faces is real. This kind of undisguised joy can be seen on the faces of everyone who comes to celebrate, and it can only be seen at weddings.
Chen Xing took a photo of relatives and friends in the corner and found a place to sit down.
After a few minutes, the groom's family came out from a place with a large basket of candies and some snacks. The basket was so big that it took two people to carry it. Then they came to the yard and held it with their hands. Throw it into the sky.
Children especially like the snacks and gather around to grab them.
There were people who came to the wedding wearing modern western clothes and some in traditional clothes. Children gathered in front to grab the wedding candies, but how could they possibly grab all the candy when there were so many? Everyone in the back also had a share. Chen Xing was tall and he could grab them with his hands. I bought a few candies coming this way, and then stood aside and watched this lively scene.
He was too embarrassed to compete with others.
But a child from the host's family listened to the groom's words and took out a pack of beef jerky from his full arms and ran to Chen Xing and handed it to him.
This little girl is twelve or thirteen years old. She is also wearing a silver hat and a silver collar.
The Miao people seem to particularly like silver jewelry, especially the women. As long as they wear their own ethnic costumes, they must wear silver jewelry. And even those women who don't wear Miao clothes still have silver bracelets on their hands. Almost everyone has one.
Chen Xing didn't notice it before, and didn't notice the little girl until she came up to her.
He took the snack with a confused look on his face.
It’s over. Did anyone see my desire for snacks just now? I didn't make any expression either.
"Brother, help me take a better picture of my little uncle."
Phew, that scared me.
Chen Xing looked at the snacks, which were a small pack of beef cubes.
"Okay, I'm very skilled, trust me."
Chen Xing has studied the system's explanation of skills and talents for a long time. Generally speaking, the truth is that if skills are extracted separately, they should be between second-rate and first-rate in the industry. But once combined with talent, a certain chemical reaction can occur.
For example, Chen Xing photographed food and portraits, and later upgraded to photograph buildings.
He is absolutely world-class when it comes to taking this kind of photos. No matter who wants to find fault, they will not think that Chen Xing's photos are not good. They are suitable for all ages.
So Brother Pang Pang came to him to act as a wedding photographer, and he was definitely making money.
Chen Xing didn't plan to ask for a price, so he just treated it as a free wedding banquet.
He originally wanted to reach out and rub the child's hair. After all, this little girl looked too cute, but he had no idea what to do. She was wearing a hat, and it was not good to pinch her face. Everyone was unfamiliar with it, so she could do such a thing. so awkward.
So I nodded slightly and wanted to wander somewhere else to take some pictures.
He was also very curious about the Miao villages here. It would be great if he could find a Miao village to live in today and get more things.
The system's rewards are said to be random, but it seems difficult to obtain skills or talents. Generally, long-term tasks such as this are given cash rewards, which are as big as one shot, which is quite a lot.
As soon as they set off, the little girl said, "Where are you going?"
"Take pictures?"
“Are you going to film them killing cows?”
Chen Xing quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, forget it, I'll go somewhere else."
The little girl came up and held Chen Xing's hand and said excitedly: "Can you come and film me catching fish?"
"Where to catch it? You can't go to the river."
"It's right in the field."
Chen Xing thought of the photos he took in the morning. There were many people harvesting rice on the terraces. The rice harvesters were concentrated and seemed organized. Everyone helped harvest the ripest batch first, and then Harvest those that ripen slowly.
And are there actually fish in the fields?
Is it the legendary rice fish?
Chen Xing did not resist at all, and was led by the little girl and ran up the mountain. It seemed that their family's field was also among the terraced fields behind the mountain.
As she ran, she shouted: "Go catch fish!"
A few children who were not very old also went with them.
"What's your name?" Chen Xing asked.
"Yang Xiu."
"Your names feel no different from those of the Han people. I always thought that the Miao people would call them Reba, Nazha, etc. like the Uyghurs."
Yang Xiu said with a smile: "We also have the Miao surname, but you can't understand it when you say it, so we usually have two names, one Miao surname and one Han surname. Nowadays we use Han surnames more often, but my grandfather and the others still have She doesn’t even speak Chinese yet, so she always uses the surname Miao.”
"What grade are you in?"
"I'm in the second grade of junior high school."
He speaks in a very organized manner and looks quite smart.
The fishing team walked for about 20 minutes and arrived at the place where the adults harvested rice behind the mountain. There were dozens of people stepping barefoot in the fields and harvesting this year's third crop of grain with sickles.
The place is called Chunman Shuizhai by the locals. It has a good environment and excellent water resources. Rice is ripe three seasons a year. Any place can be called a land of plenty. No wonder the people here are a little far away from the county seat. Still happy to be like this, self-sufficient.
The children were running around on the field, and the adults quickly shouted: "Don't run around, little kid."
This kind of field ridge is very narrow, only about ten centimeters. The left side is the field, and the right side is a little lower. The terraced fields are like ladders. There is a height difference between the fields. It is still dangerous if you fall. .
But they ignored this and ran to where the adults were harvesting rice.
"We're here to catch fish."
A man sitting on the edge of the field to rest looked at a few children, nodded and said: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Chen Xing looked at the golden rice ears around him, feeling like a sea of flowers among them. There is no floral fragrance like tulips or roses, but the heavy satisfaction that food brings to people is not comparable to that of ordinary flowers.
He adjusted the focus and took pictures of some Miao people who were working. Then he showed the photos to them, and received bursts of exclamations.
Those children were not idle either. They regarded fishing as a game. They didn’t care even if they got themselves dirty, they were still having fun. Yang Xiu was wearing a fancy dress and didn't dare to be careless like other children. She was careful, but she also touched a fish.
She lifted the fish up for Chen Xing to see.
"Brother, Brother Chen, I caught a fish!"
A carp or crucian carp 20 to 30 centimeters long. Without fishing, he couldn't tell the difference between the two types of fish, but Chen Xing thought the smile on the little girl's face was beautiful.
Click.
"I took a picture of it, don't touch the fish, come up and take a look."
Chen Xing was also afraid that she would stain her clothes, so he quickly called her up.
