Chapter 42 Elderly People’s Association

After eating, the old Taoist patted his butt and went back to study his pile of classics. Saburo took a small copper cymbal (yinbo) from somewhere and banged it there, causing three o'clock and they turned to him unhappily.

He screamed violently. Then he ran to the backyard and banged the cymbal hard, causing the chickens and ducks to run away. There was chaos, but he stood aside and laughed.

Then he ran into the house and replaced a small drum and beat it there. Le Lang looked at it and smiled bitterly. This thing must have been given to him by an old Taoist. This old Taoist typically had nothing to do when he was full. Le Lang packed up his things.

After a while, I called Saburo to go to bed. He usually had the habit of taking a nap at noon.

After waking up, Le Lang went to cut the grass. After winter, the grass became less and less, so Le Lang asked Lao Qi to help him go to the town to carry a few bags of soybean meal and wheat bran to feed the sheep, sometimes mixed with

Spot green grass. Although it is winter now, there is still some green grass in some valleys that are sheltered from the wind.

The two lambs grew bigger and bigger. It is estimated that after the Chinese New Year, they will be as big as adult sheep, and they are also very docile. Once the naughty Sanlang sat on the back of the sheep, the sheep did not run or jump, but just "baa baa baa"

cried.

After coming back from cutting the grass, it was already past four o'clock, and Le Lang walked to the backyard. Since the beginning of winter, the weather has been dry and there has not been a drop of rain. Fortunately, Le Lang brought the spring water down, otherwise he would have had trouble just watering the vegetables.

He suffered. When they saw Le Lang come in, the chickens and ducks immediately gathered around him, thinking it was dinner time again, and went straight to Le Lang, making him dumbfounded.

After finally getting rid of these things, he took the watering tools to the vegetable field, only to find that the vegetable field was dry and had no moisture at all. Usually he watered it at night, once a day, why? Because he was not free in the morning.

He had to sleep in the morning, so how could he have time? It was not suitable for watering at noon, but it was strange that even though he planted vegetables in such a mess, they still grew well, especially the sunflower seeds he bought from the market.

The trees are green and green, growing one after another and watery.

Being too tall is not a good thing for Lelang, because he can’t eat it all and will grow old if left in the fields. It’s a pity. Lelang thought about getting some and selling them in the market. In order to facilitate everyone, the village

To buy things, a piece of land was specially opened for a market between Xiaoxi Village and Linjia Village. Villagers can sell there as long as they pay a small stall fee. The stall fee there is extremely cheap, only 50 cents per piece, and meat is more expensive.

A little, I heard it was two yuan or three yuan. It was cheaper in the past, only one cent or two cents.

The money is not collected by the village, but by the elders of the two villages who take turns collecting it. They not only collect the money, but also manage the market and do sanitation. Otherwise, others will not agree with the money. After watering, Le Lang looked back and saw

Sanlang and Lao Dao were sitting on the threshold eating a big pear each.

The disciples and grandsons of the old Taoist were also filial. They would send fruits and vegetables over every now and then. Sometimes they would also buy some meat and carry bags of rice and so on. They also asked Le Lang to help take good care of him. Le Lang was so angry that he wanted to kick him.

It's okay to kick them away and buy fruits. They even bring vegetables, meat and rice. Isn't this a slap in the face? This old man eats well and takes care of us. He took care of our family when he first came here.

On the little hen.

In the past few days, Sanlang had become very familiar with Lao Tao under the dual temptation of food and play. When they met, he sweetly called Lao Tao grandpa, Lao Tao's grandpa. Seeing this, Lelang was very angry with Lao Tao.

Disdainful.

Walking next to the two of them, they sat on the threshold and blocked the doorway into the house. Lelang was about to step over, but saw Sanlang taking out a big pear out of nowhere: "Uncle Alang, uncle Alang

, eat pears, these pears are so sweet."

Le Lang touched Sanlang's head happily, took a pear and took a bite, and said: "Sanlang is better, unlike some people..." Then Shi Shiran walked over, and some of the people he said were self-evident.

After hearing this, Huang Laodao filtered it directly and continued to destroy the big pear over there.

Back in the house, Le Lang was sitting on a chair making tea. Before his buttocks got warm, Lao Qi came to the door, still holding the big flag of the village in his hand, followed by several old men from the village.

Lao Gongzu and Lao Yatou were among them.

Seeing this formation, Le Lang quickly stood up, walked quietly to Lao Qi, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Lao Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I went to the temple to get the big flag for training, but these old men insisted on coming over to take a look. I think they were afraid that I would kidnap the flag."

"What did you say?" Before Lao Qi could finish speaking, he was hit hard on the head. Le Lang turned around and saw that it was Lao Qi's grandfather.

The old man who looked after the temple in the village heard that Lao Qi was going to take the big flag to practice, so he gave it to him without saying a word, but he still warned him carefully to be careful. His grandfather happened to see it in the temple, so he wanted to come over and take a look, so he also gave it to him.

Several others were also brought.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Old Taro... come in and cook." As he said that, he enthusiastically invited a few old people to sit on the chairs.

"Ah Lang, I heard that you are going to dance the big flag this year, right?" Gongzu on the side asked Le Lang while leaning on his cane.

"Yes, everyone said that since we are back, we should get together and have some fun."

"Then you have to dance well. Nowadays, the juniors are becoming more and more outrageous and how bad they are at dancing. So this year, the village and our senior citizens' association plan to use some money as rewards. Anyone who can win the big flag dance will be welcome.

And it will be like this every year from now on." Although my husband is old, he is physically strong and speaks loudly.

As for the old people in the village, they are good at making money. For example, when they have nothing to do, they catch some fish and shrimps and sell them at the market. Now this market is not only bought and sold by people from two villages, but also from some towns and counties.

They all come here to buy. In the words of the village elders, there is a lot to do these days when you are full and have nothing to do.

Xiaoxi Village is located under Dayu Mountain. It has beautiful scenery and simple folk customs, just like a paradise. Therefore, some people like to go to this kind of countryside to breathe fresh air during holidays. If they are lucky, they can also hear the elderly people

Organize a troupe to practice music at the entrance of the temple, and then bring back some farm food from the countryside after the sightseeing.

In addition to growing vegetables and fishing, the old people in the village also go up the mountain to pick mountain products when the season comes, such as the pine nuts, cone chestnuts, fungus, and mushrooms planted by Lelang. They can get a lot of money by bringing these things down the mountain. When these old people are free,

He also organized a Nanyin troupe by himself, which was registered in the village. A few old people played gongs, drums, flutes and strings. They were very good at it. They were often invited to perform. I heard that some people invited them to perform in Taiwan. I don’t know if this is true.
