The Spring Festival of 1984 was a bit dull for Wan Feng, and it passed by quietly like flowing water.

The fifth day of the New Year passed in the blink of an eye.

Wanfeng's Spring Festival was dull, but the Jiangwei Brigade's Spring Festival this year was the most lively day. Not only did each team in the brigade organize a yangko and stilts team, but yangko and stilts from other places also gathered here.

It was especially lively in front of the Wahou team headquarters, with more than a dozen yangko and stilt teams performing one after another.

Zhu Ping stood at the entrance of the team with his hands behind his back, acting like a leader, directing a group of people in the depression to set off firecrackers every time a yangko stilt dancer came on stage, and then give out red envelopes after the yangko stilt dancer left the stage.

Every yangko stilt team that takes part in the performance will receive a red envelope of 100 yuan, a wall calendar with decent printing, and a free meal at noon.

The idea of ​​the calendar was of course proposed by Wan Feng, mainly for advertising. The calendar was full of advertisements of various companies and businesses in the post-war era, with some movie stars of the time photoshopped in, making it look very colorful and beautiful.

Wall calendars are becoming popular. Anyone who opens a small printing factory and prints and sells wall calendars will make a lot of money in the next few years.

Wanfeng?

He doesn't have the time to tinker with these little gadgets. He can let others do projects worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but he doesn't have the time to do them himself.

I've become inflated! I never thought that a business worth hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a year would no longer be worth my attention.

Have I forgotten my roots? Do I need to reflect on myself?

All the villages and hamlets within a radius of dozens of miles know that Wahou is rich. Therefore, Wahou has been the most lively place during the New Year in the past two years. Not only are there many yangko and stilt teams, but from the sixth to the eighth day of the first lunar month, many unmarried young men and women from dozens of miles around gather here.

Some girls are proud to find a partner in Jiangwei, and some boys also hope to find a wife in Jiangwei.

Especially the girls and boys in the back of the valley are the most popular.

Wahou is the richest place in Jiangwei.

Therefore, these few days every year are also a time for young people to increase communication.

As long as they know you are from Wahou, both girls and boys will take the initiative to talk to you.

Many young men in Wahou married their wives in this way.

For example, Wan Feng, who was originally standing aside and quietly watching Luan Feng walk on stilts, was approached by several girls from nowhere.

"Little brother, why are you watching it alone? Can I watch it with you here?"

In order to marry into the Wa family, these girls worked very hard and had already discarded those useless shy things and went into battle naked.

The girls were all good-looking and not very old. They looked at Wan Feng with eager eyes and smiles, hoping that Wan Feng could choose a lucky one among them.

Wan Feng, who was feeling bored, was ready to argue with them since he had nothing to do. But before he could say anything, he felt his anus tighten and his forehead feel cold, as if a sharp sword was hanging in the air above his forehead.

A quick glance revealed Luan Feng's gaze was as sharp as a sword, and his expression seemed as if he was ready to rush over at any time to wipe out all the evil spirits and monsters.

"Woman, why don't you just stand on the ground and do the Yangge dance? Why are you standing so high up? Are you just trying to spy on me?"

With the sharp eyes of a Hedong Lion, Wan Feng felt that the smartest thing to do was to be a good Chinese man. If he was still so shameless as to attract bees and butterflies, his fate would probably be as miserable as Robinson Crusoe who was stranded on a desert island.

"Did you see that girl on stilts?" Wan Feng pointed at Luan Feng and said to the girls around him with a righteous look on his face.

Several girls nodded but didn't understand what was happening.

"My wife!"

"So it turns out he's taken. What a waste of emotion." Several girls came with high hopes and left disappointed.

If there are still unattached young men in Wahou, Wan Feng believes that these women may have a place for them.

Seeing that there were no more flies around someone, a woman walked on her stilts even more vigorously.

To be fair, Luan Feng was indeed talented in stilt walking and yangko dancing. She had a handsome appearance and an elegant figure, and no one among the dozen or more girls in the stilt walking and yangko troupe could match her.

Therefore, every time Luan Feng gets married, there is no shortage of suitors around her.

Luan Feng would proudly show off in front of Wan Feng: "Someone seduced your wife, shouldn't you do something?"

"It would be even better if you can seduce her away. If you succeed, I will also give her a dowry, just like marrying off my sister..."

Generally speaking, Wan Feng was already running faster than a rabbit at this point, and the woman could only beat her chest and stamp her feet behind him.

Luan Feng knew that he couldn't catch up with Wan Tuzi, so he could only go home and deal with him.

Starting from the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, not only did the stilts and yangko dancers gather, but merchants who used to do business in the Wahou market also returned one after another. The market was also very lively, with firecrackers crackling here and there.

Sometimes, firecrackers would go off at the same time when several businesses opened, filling the entire area with smoke and the smell of gunpowder.

After receiving money from the team headquarters, the yangko teams flocked to the market. They twisted their legs a few times when one shop opened, and danced a few times when another shop opened, and the bosses all gave out red envelopes.

However, compared with the 100-yuan red envelopes given by the Wahou team, these bosses are much more stingy. They usually give 10 or 8 yuan, and no more than 20 yuan at most.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all the businesses in Wahou opened for business. The shoe factory, machinery factory, farm implement factory and the market all set off firecrackers as if in a competition.

The brick and tile factory has been subcontracted to someone else and is therefore not included in this list.

Now the yangko and stilt teams were even busier, running here and there, singing and dancing everywhere, and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening.

Luan Feng is not walking on stilts or dancing the yangge today because the garment factory is also open today.

Regardless of whether they have work today or not, five or six hundred people from the garment factory gather in the yard early in the morning, chattering and wishing each other a happy new year.

Among them, married women would ask each other how much money the old woman gave them when they visited her on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

So, words like "Your mother-in-law is such a bitch" and "Your mother-in-law is such a hero" were heard from time to time, followed by bursts of laughter.

Xu Jingmin has now been promoted from a gatekeeper to the head of the security department of the garment factory, and he also has three soldiers under him.

He commanded the soldiers to line up eight simple whip poles at the gate.

A few years ago, Wan Feng started to pull out strings of the enlarged and lengthened firecrackers that he had ordered from the Shishan Commune Fireworks Factory.

The opening time of the garment factory is 9:58, which is still the meaning of what I sent.

Because this time is nearly an hour different from the opening time of businesses in Wahou, the yangko stilt teams that finished their performances in Wahou ran here.

They knew that Datou was actually here, and he never let them down every year when the garment factory opened.

At 9:58, the eight guys selected by Xu Jingmin to be responsible for lighting the firecrackers lit the firecrackers together, and the sound of the cannons was deafening.

After the sound of whips, the yangko troupes began their performance in the yard of the garment factory.

Luan Feng dressed herself up in a flashy way and took out a bunch of red envelopes. She had prepared three thousand yuan worth of red envelopes to give to the yangko troupes.
