Xu Tianxin also came to Chengguan for the first time.
Xu Tianxin didn't know how many towers there were inside, let alone how big it was.
But she always felt that the garrison soldiers were peeking down from the innermost tower near them.
Although everyone was covered up tightly, she always felt that those people were watching their team and laughing while watching them.
There were also many soldiers who were busy pulling up ropes and hanging red lanterns at the oil shed being set up in front of the camp, while turning their heads to look at them beamingly.
Xu Tianxin also saw that the road seemed to extend all the way to the barracks.
She had heard Sui He from General Lu's side mention that this year, a border trade street would be built two roads behind the barracks.
Ordinary soldiers who have already got married are allowed to bring their families, and soldiers who have served in the army for a certain period of time are allowed to get married here. They live in bungalows on Bianmao Street and build houses that are similar to ordinary people's houses, with vegetable gardens in the yards. .
Therefore, Xu Tianxin analyzed that at this time, many soldiers carrying benches should be running from the direction of the barracks.
Are you going back to get the stool?
In addition, more and more soldiers suddenly appeared in groups from various barracks and were walking towards them.
No matter how many thoughts he had above, they all just flashed through Xu Tianxin's mind.
Because there is a saying that when an arrow is on the string, it must be fired.
This large group of them must not change the steps. No matter how many ideas she has in mind, she must go ahead and lead the team as agreed.
Otherwise, the villagers would have panicked when they saw the vast and majestic city gate.
Once they don't know where to go, the fleet of hundreds of cars will all circle around in confusion.
Xu Tianxin finally jumped out of the car with a suona sewn into cotton gloves.
As soon as she jumped, not to mention that the entire team behind them breathed a sigh of relief, even the lead car, Liu Laozhu, and Xu Youliang, who was holding a slogan, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Laozhu thought to himself: My dear little ancestor, you have decided to act according to the predetermined plan.
Otherwise, if he were to lead the car and continue walking haphazardly, he would almost exit through the next intersection.
And here, the first thing Xu Tianxin did when he got out of the car was to give a long song to the border guards: "囍".
When the suona is played together, it is either great sadness or great joy.
As for suona, it is an instrument that will be integrated into the blood of Chinese people regardless of ancient or modern times.
It's like someone who listens to a symphony for a long time and still doesn't understand whether it's sad or happy, but by listening to the suona, one can tell whether it's a happy event or a casual event that should be celebrated.
Of course Xu Tianxin was talking about happy news.
Moreover, Xu Tianxin was playing the suona while leading the group forward to find a parking spot.
Although her body was wrapped extremely thickly, several generals above noticed that her entire body was twisting to the music as she walked forward.
Huo Yunqian saw the two furry balls on Xu Tianxin's hat swaying.
Huo Yunqian looked a little funny.
Because today Xu Tianxin's costume is even more funny.
But after a while, Huo Yunqian raised his eyebrows subtly.
Only then did Huo Yunqian realize that Xu Tianxin was not twisting randomly.
It turned out that she was blowing a high-pitched suona and directing the convoy with her body movements.
No wonder the pom-pom on the hat I'm wearing today has bright lights, and the shoes on my feet are still the same color, one black and one white. The cloth on the waist on both sides is even more shiny. There are two large patches, one red and one green, which must have been specially sewn on. semicircle.
Sweetheart of the Xu family, it’s true that she didn’t study medicine for nothing. Where did she learn some strange knowledge from? I know that some corpse powder is fused with certain objects and can emit fluorescence.
You can see her at night. If you meet her like this on the road in the middle of the night, you will think that some animal has become a spirit.
Not hearing that Jia Lai had just seen Xu Tianxin show up for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh: "Emma." Jia Lai was also surprised.
That's right, the members of the general's team above read it all correctly.
Xu Tianxin did use his waist and left and right feet to direct the team at the same time.
Her command slogan is: twist left, twist left, twist right, twist right, left foot forward and backward, left and right, left and right, twist right, twist right... Come, follow her ten steps forward, twist left, squat on your butt Next, as if giving a gift to someone, twist to the right, and then twist the buttocks to the right.
Please call her Miss Northern Territory.
No one can disturb Xu Tianxin from commanding the team at this time.
She sacrificed her boss and had to stick two pieces of cloth, one red and one green, behind her butt to command.
And as Xu Tianxin twisted his waist and shook his head, playing the suona all the way without forgetting to jump up and down, and even kicking his legs left and right during the process, the people's convoy miraculously found the right position, pulled up the square formation and followed. Xu Tianxin walked forward.
Until Xu Tianxin stopped completely.
I have to say that with the high-pitched music of the suona and the well-trained people marching forward in formation, it is really a bit of a journey through the Nine Heavens above and through the Nine Netherworld below, and it can shock people's hearts in the middle.
It turns out that the common people are also very well-trained and are no less good than the soldiers.
Next, the generals above saw the carts carrying slogans from each village, already standing at the front one by one, and began to dig holes and tie up the bamboo poles with the slogans on the spot.
Behind them are other vehicles pulling goods from each village, and to highlight the leading vehicle, there are two vehicles in a row behind them. They also hold up slogans and stand side by side.
Even the vehicles pulling goods for the caravan were stationed on the far left side of the twelve villages. There is still a certain distance between villages, because Xu Tianxin jumped ten steps before, which means that the distance is ten steps away.
As for the student formation, since Bai Muyan knew it in advance and could understand Xu Tianxin's body and tone, Bai Muyan directed the academy vehicles to line up at the far right of the twelve villages, and invited four gentlemen to come to the front of the line.
At this time, Xu Tianxin's suona "Xi" was almost coming to an end, and she suddenly turned around and faced everyone while playing.
Facing, do you know what the code is?
The soldiers gathered around one level inside and one outside. When they saw the girl who could play the suona, she turned around, lined up behind her, and began to unload the big drum.
Then the girl who played the suona began to walk backwards. The soldiers immediately lost their eyesight because many old men and women dressed in fresh and strange clothes suddenly got out of the donkey carts.
When Xu Tianxin raised her suona so high that she was exhausted, and when her suona played the last note, fourteen large drums were placed at the front of the lead car and sounded at the same time. Everyone held drum sticks tied with happy red drums. Cloth.
The drumbeats are also different from the previous pursuit of loudness, when the common people beat the drums. It was more like informing the soldiers of the camp that someone was coming.
This time it suddenly became cheerful: "Poke it, poke it, poke it, poke it, poke it..." That's called neatness.
There are fourteen suona players standing at the front of each team, and the suona players of these fourteen people also sound together with the drums.
Forget about that loudness.
It seems that there is no soul that they cannot mobilize.
Some of the onlookers couldn't help but applaud and were the first to shout: "Okay!"
After this good news, more people were stunned and cheered frequently.
So in an instant, the city gate no longer seemed like a frontier, and I was so happy that I was in short supply of brides, otherwise I would have loved to have entered the bridal chamber right away.
Even Xu Tianxin's live broadcast room immediately played background music simultaneously and sang:
"Northeastern people love to eat the pickled cabbage and blood sausage. When they perform the Yangko dance, people are overjoyed. The Northeast is my hometown, and the suona plays beautifully..."
As for whether it is beautiful or not, the soldiers have the final say.
Just look at four 40-member old lady yangko teams. One team holds red fans and carries blue flower baskets, and the other team holds blue fans and carries red flower baskets.
Blue is dyed with isatis root, which is not easy.
There is also a team of old ladies wearing red cloth around their waists, and the fourth team wearing green cloth around their waists.
The dance moves, except for the first appearance, the red fan stands up, the blue one squats, the red belt team stands up, and the green belt team squats again.
At that time, it was relatively neat to pursue a slight formation change. After that, what the old ladies pursued was a free play.
We just walked around carrying small flower baskets, and competed in twisting to see who had the most beautiful smile, and to see who could attract more and more onlookers to twist together.
"Come on, baby, screw it, just screw it like this!"
In Xu Tianxin's letter to Jia Lai, she described these old ladies in this paragraph.
The grandmothers from twelve villages have always worked hard day and night to fill their families' stomachs, and to fill them a little more.
Grandmothers say: You don’t need to look into Xu Tianxin’s legendary bronze mirror to know that you are already aging.
So, when they came to visit the soldiers, they used their youthful passion for beauty and racked their brains to grind flour to make their faces whiter. They used couplet paper as lipstick and rouge to apply on their faces. But since they had never applied makeup ten times in total even when they were young, they were a little in a hurry.
The grandmothers tried their best to cover up their aging, just because they knew that the soldiers would not necessarily look at them indifferently.
But they really hope that the soldiers will be as happy to see them as they are to see the young girls.
At this time, even though the letter has not been sent yet, the answer is already there, that is, the soldiers on the border are very rare.
Many soldiers had already left the field with smiles, and those who did not hesitate would be surrounded by two or three grandmothers standing across flower baskets and waving fans, laughing and nodding along with them.
This is just because many ordinary soldiers have no one to give them New Year gifts, or even haven't returned home for several years. Their parents live in remote places and can't write. Some of them don't even have family letters for several years in a row.
Every festive season, we miss our loved ones even more.
Ordinary garrison soldiers have often given gifts to generals. This is the first time that an aunt dragged him and said loudly: "Jump, baby, we are here to see you. If you don't like it, we are not here in vain." La?"
Joy, aunt, at your age, you remind us of our parents.
So, next, when the old men came out, the soldiers present even organized a temporary arrangement and shouted "Hello" in unison.
The cheers went straight to the ears of the generals above.
It makes the old men feel embarrassed.
I didn't expect it to be so popular.
At this time, although the old men's faces were not painted red and green, they appeared riding on donkeys tied with paper that looked very similar.
There were also people carrying large sedan chairs made of floral paper; people holding flower umbrellas; and people carrying lanterns that only children would like to see.
Some people even dyed a round drawer cloth red and turned it into two handkerchiefs.
In Xu Tianxin’s letter to Jia Lai, this is how he introduced the program.
"My grandparents have never seen the excitement of the Lantern Festival in Fucheng, and it is impossible for them to see the prosperity of the capital city.
But since the mutual market was established, the villagers have heard from caravan owners from all over the world about the joyful scenes outside.
I heard that some people jumped up and moved their neck straps and shoulders, and in some places their sleeves were thrown to both sides.
There are flower umbrellas and fans in Luzhou. In some places, handkerchiefs are performed in circles.
So everyone created their own Divine Comedy and Divine Steps. The grandparents who accompanied them said that since they had few styles, they should dance more realistically, so that the soldiers would like to watch it. "
Xu Tianxin looked at the scene and laughed.
Today, the grandparents did it. After the team stood up, they started to perform Yangko. It was really fun.
Among them, Yu Qinniang's uncle "Pu Yuzi" danced the most happily while holding a small lantern that looked like a little rabbit.
This scene actually caused many young wives at the other end of the live broadcast room to hold their one- or two-year-old children in their arms and dance with their children's little hands to the live music.
As for why the grandparents really hoped that the soldiers would like to watch it, Xu Tianxin also explained it to General Jialai in his letter.
Xu Tianxin told the truth that she asked casually during the rehearsal, and the answer given by her grandparents was: the child who was missing from the battlefield at home was about the same age as many young soldiers in the camp when he left.
When the children were alive, they had never seen these tricks before. Some children had never eaten glutinous rice balls, and they had never even seen them smile like this.
For example, Uncle Yu of Yuzi Shop, the reason why he performed the Yangko dance with a rabbit lantern was because his second child, who was born in the year of the rabbit and was missing on the battlefield, asked him for it when he was a child.
You said that life was very difficult at that time, so how could you be willing to waste money on buying all kinds of colorful paper lanterns for your children?
This time, Aunt Yu did not come with the team, but she baked a beautiful rabbit lantern with her own hands. While baking, she said: "Er baby, if those soldiers see this lantern, I will think that you have seen it too. You guys." They are all about the same age, so if they can show appreciation, Mom will know that you will also be happy."
It can be seen that most normal parents feel hurt when they mention the one they don't have.
Although the ten fingers are divided into different lengths, sometimes there is a slight preference for which baby is which, but there is no way to throw away a baby unless absolutely necessary.
That means every family is in such a poor situation, and the children cannot work before they are a few years old. The parents not only have to feed them with mouthfuls of food, but also drag them with their heart.
It can also be seen that it is no wonder that Xu Tianxin took several days to write the letter. It was not like she was procrastinating and did not want to write as she said on the surface. She was procrastinating and did not want to stop writing at the end. She really wrote a lot.
Finally, when Mrs. Xu was giving instructions with a smile, those who could not dance yangko hurriedly cooked glutinous rice balls and distributed food; Gao Mantang was arranged by two soldiers to paint under the side gate tower; Bai Muyan and other gentlemen and students began to make ice sculptures, Xu Tianxin stood there I saw Jialai's deputy guard at the bottom of the city tower.
"I didn't expect that General Jia was really here."
The deputy guard thought to himself: Today, on the Lantern Festival, many rotation defense sergeants have a day off, and many officials have come here specially. What's rare is that even the general is here. In the past, the largest official here was Lu Yan.
Xu Tianxin handed over the letter.
