Things about village flowers

It's almost six o'clock when we return to the guest house from the theater, and it's time to have dinner soon. Dinner is cabbage, vermicelli, pork, and white flour steamed buns, which everyone likes very much. In many places in the countryside, only people celebrating the New Year can eat this. The smell of rice could be smelled from afar, and everyone rushed into the guest house's dining room like a torrent.

Everyone still sits and dines in groups according to the performance team. Our municipal middle school performance team has the largest number of people and is divided into three tables. It is also the only performance team that needs to sit at three tables for meals. Some performance teams do not even have enough people to fit into one table. The contrast is too great.

There are about ten people at a table, guarding two large pots of cabbage, vermicelli and pork. There are two large iron spoons in each pot to serve the vegetables. Everyone has a bowl and uses the iron spoon to scoop out the vegetables from the pot and eat them. It is impossible to finish the meat. There was more meat than a spoonful, and it was quite satisfying to eat. They all said that they had never eaten so much meat during the Chinese New Year, and now their stomachs were full of fat. There was a mountain of steamed buns in a large wicker basket. I made a visual inspection and found that there were at least sixty or seventy large steamed buns, and they were much larger than ordinary steamed buns. They tasted fragrant, moderately soft, and chewy.

I had already eaten three large steamed buns, which was a serious overdose. Although I was a little overwhelmed, I still wanted to eat. I couldn't control my mouth, so I reached out and picked up the fourth large steamed bun. The food today is really good. After eating, or not without being affected by the environment or atmosphere, this meal is the most delicious.

I am so good at eating, so you can imagine that compared with other people at the table, especially the classmates from the rural commune performance team, they are nothing compared to me. It is said that some people ate eight big steamed buns in one meal, which is scary. Not to mention anything else, even Ling Liping ate three steamed buns.

After dinner, it was time for free activities. Everyone went shopping without exception. For most people, going to the county town from the countryside is undoubtedly the same as coming to a big city. Time is very precious, and they all appreciate this. A rare opportunity.

As soon as I put down the dishes, Ling Liping came to me. It seemed that she had been staring at me.

"Hehe, are you full? Brother Sifang."She patted my back gently and said with a smile

"oops! I haven’t eaten so much in a long time, I’m exhausted!"I turned around and shouted to her, touching my bulging belly.

"Hehe, you can eat so well! Isn’t this kind of meal a daily routine for you?!"Ling Liping covered her mouth and laughed.

"The most important thing is that they make it delicious! If nothing else, at least it tastes better than the food made in the county committee canteen."I pointed to the remaining food on the table. Before she could respond, I whispered to her,"Looking at others clicking their mouths like pigs and eating so happily, I am seriously infected and have a huge appetite. I can’t eat enough. You said, I ate four big steamed buns in one go."

"Hee hee," Ling Liping also whispered to me,"I ate three of them. I didn't realize it at the time, but I felt so full right now."After saying that, he burped.

"Let's go, go out and eat!"I suppressed my laughter and took her hand and walked out of the big restaurant with everyone. She looked around and then hugged my arms with both hands.

The county committee is across the road from the guest house, diagonally across from the guest house. Standing at the door of the guest house. We could clearly see the gate of the County Committee. Ling Liping and I walked out of the guest house and turned west, ready to cross the road to go to the County Committee on the opposite side. Ling Liping didn't seem to realize that the County Committee was on the opposite side. I subconsciously pointed to her at the gate of the County Committee and said:

"Liping, opposite is the county party committee compound"

"ah! The county committee is here! Too close to the guest house."Ling Liping stopped and faced the gate of the county committee and exclaimed

"Haha, yes, it’s just one step away, not so close. I can smell whatever delicious food the guest house has!"I laughed.

"Hee hee hee……"Ling Liping covered her mouth and bent over with a smile, then she straightened up and hugged my arm and said,"You, you, a greedy cat with a sharp nose, knows how to eat! Why don't you say that you can hear even a sneeze in the guest house?" Arrived! Hahaha……"After saying that, I couldn’t help but laugh again.

"Why? Don't tell me, it's true, but it has to be early in the morning or in the dead of night!"I responded. It seemed as if I had experienced

"You have dog ears, hehehe." Ling Liping joked.

"I'm smarter than a dog's ears!"I said shamelessly

"Well, I believe this! Hahaha."Ling Liping smiled again as she said this. She felt that she was particularly happy tonight.

"Hey, Liping, how about you go to my house to play now?"Seeing her stretching her neck and staring at the gate of the county committee, I pulled her arm and said. Now is the opportunity. I'm afraid the performance tomorrow will be very nervous. There is no time. The commendation meeting will be adjourned after the performance in the morning.

"OK, OK! What was I thinking about?"Ling Liping was so happy that she jumped and clapped her hands.

"Let's go." I grabbed her hand and was about to cross the road. A truck happened to drive up. I grabbed her and said,"Wait until this car passes before we cross the road again. In the city, it's not as good as in the countryside. You must be careful when crossing. Watch out for incoming cars, not just cars, but also tricycles, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, etc."

After the car drove by, there was a jeep driving not far away, but it was driving very slowly and turned on the left turn signal. I immediately recognized it as the county committee's car. Maybe my father was sitting in it. I pulled up Bai Liping's car. As soon as I crossed the road, the jeep started to turn towards the gate of the county committee. It stopped again just as it reached the gate, and honked the horn twice. I found that the gate was open and there was no one else around. It must have been directed at me, so I immediately let go of Ling Liping's hand (if it was really my father in the car, he must have seen it) and subconsciously stepped forward to greet her, thinking to myself, my father would not really be sitting in the car, but the co-pilot The seat was empty, and my father was used to sitting there. As soon as I took a few steps, I saw the back door of the jeep opened, and then a big, bald head popped out. Sure enough, it was my father.

"Hi, Fang Fang, what are you doing?"Before I could come forward, my father held the open car door and called me by my nickname.

"Oh, you, you are back! dad."I hurriedly rushed forward. I knew that my father had gone to the prefectural committee for a meeting this morning. He must have just come back, so why did I bump into him?

"Well, I just came back from a meeting."The father responded, but his eyes were directed at Ling Liping, who was standing in the shadow of the lamp in a white coat not far behind. Then he pointed at Ling Liping and asked,"Hey, who is that little girl with you? She looks a bit familiar."

"Oh, it’s Ling Liping, from my hometown."I immediately turned around and responded, calling Ling Liping over at the same time.

"Oh, Liping! Haha, come to the show."My father's eyes lit up and he looked at Ling Liping who was walking over and said. My father knew her. He saw her at his grandfather's house when he returned to his hometown last year. He was deeply impressed. When his father walked into the yard of his grandfather's house, he happened to catch up with her singing"Ling Liping" to her grandma in the main room."Everyone Has a Red Heart" (Peking Opera"Red Lantern") was very professional. Her father was attracted by her singing. He didn't expect to hear such a beautiful aria in the countryside, so that his father couldn't bear to interrupt her. He stood outside the door and listened to her singing before entering the house. From then on, whenever he heard his mother humming this tune in her spare time, her father mentioned Ling Liping and kept praising her. The little girl was not simple, she was no less beautiful. Professional actors from the Yu County Peking Opera Troupe sang this song, which aroused my mother's curiosity. She wondered when she would meet Ling Liping, a fellow villager. Maybe she had the same hobbies.She is an old literary and artistic worker who always sings and sings. In fact, she now works for the Women's Federation (her mother is the director of the County Women's Federation) and often organizes performances or engages in literary and artistic activities. She has not given up her old profession.

"Well, I just arrived today and will perform tomorrow."I said and turned around to pull the shy Ling Liping to my father. My father immediately got out of the car.

"Haha, Liping, little fellow, we meet again!"My father stepped forward and held Ling Liping's shoulders and smiled. I didn't expect that my usually stern father would be so enthusiastic towards her. I suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Hello sir!"Ling Liping raised her crimson cheeks and bowed to greet her father.

"Oh, good, good!"My father said yes repeatedly, then opened the back door and helped Ling Liping into the car without any explanation,"Come on, little girl, get in the car quickly, let's go home for dinner."

"Dad, I just ate at the guest house."I said to my father behind his back

"You are so full, uncle, hee hee."Ling Liping got into the car and said

"What did you eat?"My father asked Ling Liping

"Steamed buns, cabbage vermicelli and boiled pork."I said it first before Ling Liping could speak.

"Well, this is good stuff. It's refreshing and appetizing. Even I like this food. I can't get enough of it after eating it. Hehehe."My father said and smiled.

"Dad," I gestured to my father,"I ate four such huge buns at once."

"I ate three of them, uncle, hee hee hee."Ling Liping said to her father, covering her mouth and laughing. She felt that she was no longer restrained at this moment.

"haha, really! If I were there, I would definitely eat less. Not to mention four, I could eat at least three and a half, ah, hahaha……"Her father laughed as he spoke and closed the car door for Ling Liping.

I immediately stepped forward to help my father open the front door. After my father got in, I helped close the door. Then I went around to the right side of the car and opened the rear door to sit with Ling Liping.

The jeep then drove into the gate of the County Party Committee. Amidst the laughter in the car, it went straight along the wall-like path formed by the cypress trees on both sides of the road, and went straight to my house in the backyard of the County Party Committee. At this moment, I couldn't be more happy. Ling Liping's arrival was destined to make the whole family happy.
