Chapter 850

Zhou Zhuo's eyes also follow Zhang Yan's eyes. Apart from a building, there is no other scenery, let alone people.

"Are you going to stay here?" Zhou Zhuo asked. In fact, he didn't mean to urge her. But just after asking, Zhang Yan took back her eyes.

"Oh, no, my dad is not here. Let's go and show you." Zhang Yan said with a smile, "today there are lanterns and fireworks. Fireworks will look good at night. "

"And fireworks. That's great. I haven't seen fireworks for a long time." Indeed, in the army, in addition to eating rice dumplings and Spring Festival dinner, there are no other activities, let alone fireworks.

"I know you've worked hard. Let's see enough at night. You can put it on your own. My father has already bought fireworks. We can put them together tonight. "

Qian binmeng clapped his chin and said, "it's good. I played tonight to see if I would be scared." With that, I guess I still have a few laughs.

"Then you have to prepare your mobile phone tonight to record such a wonderful moment." Zhou Zhuo also laughed. The way you laugh is more tender than usual.

Zhang Yan rarely saw Zhou Zhuo smile so brightly, "on the morning of the first day of the new year, I will have a very old ceremony here, and I will take you to visit."

As soon as he heard that there were good-looking ones, Qian bin became interested, "really. What an old ceremony. "

Zhang Yan cleared his throat. "That is, we will get up early on the morning of the first day of junior high school, cook the dumplings, and take them to the square, where we will hold a Jiding ceremony."

"Did you have children?" Zhou Zhuo asked.

"No, No." Zhang Yan waved her hand again and again, "that's the day when everyone in our family should prepare tangyuan. Then they all pour into the big copper basin on the square. " Then he pointed to the copper basin in the center.

"And then we will witness it with the eldest elders and patriarchs in our village. Put a small jade pendant representing the fortune of our village into the dumplings. And mix the dumplings together. "

"And then give it to all of us. Everyone can only share one dumpling. As long as you can eat a jade pendant in that dumpling, it means that that person can get good fortune this year. "

After listening to Zhang Yan's words, Qian bin suddenly realized, "ah, can it be like this?"

Zhou Zhuo glanced over Qian Bin's shoulder. "Why not? I remember some people in the north also have this custom, that is, during the new year's Eve, but usually on the eve of new year's Eve, they will put a copper coin or some small gold in Tangyuan or dumplings."

"Then, put out the cooked dumplings or dumplings. If anyone eats the dumplings or dumplings with special fillings, he will be lucky in the next year."

As soon as Zhou Zhuo's words were finished, Zhang Yan nodded vigorously, "yes, yes, that's almost the meaning, but there is still a little difference in our words."

"Except for good luck. Eat the man who represents the jade pendant of Yanjia village patriarch. He will take over the new patriarch. "

Qian bin, who was drinking water, suddenly spat out a mouthful of water. He was really startled and quickly wiped the water stains on his mouth. "Is it such a joke to choose a patriarch in your village?"

Knowing that Qian bin had misunderstood them, Zhang Yan quickly shook her head, "of course not. There are still tests behind us."

"But the prerequisite is to eat the jade pendant first. Then there is a chance to be elected as the patriarch. Of course, there are some other factors for being elected patriarch. It's impossible to say that any child can eat it and then be the head of the clan, right? "

Qian bin was not surprised. "It's almost the same. Otherwise, I thought it's too playful for you to choose the patriarch here."

"Of course not. Anyway, we have to manage our Yanjia village. How could it be such a joke?" Zhang Yan laughed, "my father said that if the person who ate the jade pendant passed the eight tests of Yanjia village, he could succeed as the clan leader."

"So how can we do good things? Your father doesn't want to be one. He will be free this year."

Qian Bin's words are also very likely, but for Zhang Yan's father, it is not a thing worthy of celebration.

Zhang Yan shook her finger in front of Qian bin, "if that person eats the jade pendant, but he doesn't want to be the patriarch, he can also choose to give up. If someone is willing to compete, then we will have the ceremony of patriarchal election next. "

"It sounds very lively." It's the first time that Zhou Zhuo heard about the election ceremony of patriarch. It sounds like a very good one.

"Yes, it was a very busy day. However, the election ceremony of choosing a new patriarch is a new examination. The selection questions are different every year. Moreover, every challenge question is expected by the village elders and the last patriarch, who is about to leave. ""Now your father is not going to do a test."

Qian Bin's concerns are always different from others, and Zhang Yan has no choice but to smile. "My dad doesn't do any tests. He has been in office for three years. My dad wants it now. "

"You don't know that the one who ate the jade pendant in the past three years was either a child or an old man, or the one who didn't want to be the patriarch. Now in the whole village, no one competes for the position of patriarch. My dad lost sleep several times because he didn't know about it. "

Qian bin didn't think so. He comforted Zhang Yan and said, "isn't that good? If no one succeeds the patriarch, your father will always be the patriarch, Doraemon. "

"Qian bin, you're wrong. After all, it's not easy to be a patriarch now. My father doesn't go to the village like those people think. To be a team leader is to do practical things for the team. And my dad is old now, so I hope he can step down and stop worrying about the village. "

Zhang Yan said. Take a deep breath, "but these things are not what you want. Sometimes when you do something, you have to be blamed. "

In fact, as a local manager, most of the time what he does is thankless. For example, Zhang Yan's father did a lot of things for the village, but he used it as a target when the villagers had disputes, so it made his father sad.
