Chapter 854

After shopping, the three people went to another road. Most of the people on this road were selling some food and use. However, there seemed to be more people watching here, and few people buying things.

"These people don't seem to be doing very well in business?" Qian bin looked at several stalls, no one stopped, so he sighed.

"It's not like that." Zhang Yan took Qian bin to one of the stalls and said, "the things here are not for sale, but for everyone to eat. At this time, everyone has just finished eating, so few people come to eat. "

Zhang Yan also specially gave Qian bin and Zhou Zhuo a small piece of walnut slices, "come on, you try, my third cousin's craftsmanship is good. He used to open a pastry shop in the town. He came back to make cakes for everyone this Spring Festival. "

Zhou Zhuo with Zhang Yan's voice, eyes slowly look to the side of a simple and honest man. The man also showed a simple and honest smile, looking at Zhou Zhuo.

"It's hard for swallows to bring their friends back for the new year. You can eat whatever you want. When the new year is over, I'll make some for you to take back."

As soon as the man's voice fell, Zhang Yan happily said, "thank you, third cousin."

Zhou Zhuo originally wanted to refuse, but Zhang Yan's words had already been spoken, and he could only smile and say, "thank you. I wish you a prosperous business. "

After saying goodbye to Zhang Yan's third cousin, they began to go back. Along the way, Zhang Yan was greeting her relatives, while Zhou Zhuo and Qian bin were walking behind.

"Brother Zhou, what was your surprise in that shop just now?" Qian bin asked when he saw Zhou Zhuo's worry all the way.

"Didn't I show you the old man before? I think he looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw him before

"What old man?" In fact, when Zhou Zhuo asked Qian bin to look at people, Qian Bin's sight was just covered by another person, so he didn't see the person Zhou Zhuo said.

"Don't you see that?" Zhou Zhuo thought Qian bin saw it. Just now he was still surprised. Qian bin saw the man, but he didn't feel at a loss.

"I didn't see it." Qian bin is really at a loss.

Since I didn't see it, there was no way. Zhou Zhuo sighed, "it's OK. Anyway, I can't remember who it is for a moment. Since he is here, there will always be a time to meet him."

Qian bin shrugged and seemed to agree with what Zhou Zhuo said, "by the way, Xiao Zhang, why didn't we see the scholar you said today?"

When Qian Bin said this, Zhou Zhuo suddenly had a hypothesis in his mind. Is the old man he saw just now a scholar?

Zhang Yan is still eating walnut slices in front of her. Suddenly she hears Qian Bin's question and turns her head, "yes, I don't seem to have seen a scholar today. Er Gouzi helped her collect the money."

Zhang Yan suddenly stopped, "but it doesn't matter. On the first day of junior high school, the scholar will definitely go to the square. Every year, the scholar will take peach blossom to the square. After the ceremony, everyone can take a peach blossom branch."

"Can we see it then?" Qian bin suddenly remembered what Yan Min had said to them before he left, and looked at Zhang Yan eagerly.

"Of course."

"But it's not good for outsiders to attend your ceremony." Zhou Zhuo asked with some doubts.

"Ha ha ha ha." Zhang Yan suddenly laughed, "brother Zhou, I don't want you to attend. It's just for you to have a look. Outsiders can watch the ceremony, but they can't participate in it. "

"Those dumplings can only be eaten by people in our own village, but not by outsiders. Because if you strangers accidentally eat that jade pendant after eating it, it's not good. "

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zhou Zhuo said with embarrassment, "yes, I was confused just now. But it's good for us to go and see. "

"Yes, in fact, in the past, these activities were held in ancestral halls. Later, because many of our young people would go to provincial cities or other provinces to work, when they came back, they would inevitably not bring one or two friends."

Zhang Yan walked next to Zhou Zhuo, "so later the patriarch made a rule that all the activities were held in the square, and foreigners could also visit. But you can't take part in any activities. "

"Moreover, on that day, the people in our village had to wear the new cotton padded clothes we made every year. That's respect for the ceremony. It's better to let everyone know if they are our own people in our village. "

Zhang Yan explained very clearly, Qian bin while walking, while touching his chin, "you say so, let me curious, I really want to get to the first day of junior high school."

"Ha ha ha, don't worry. I'll show you Kongming lanterns tonight. There will be a lion dance performance in the village on New Year's Eve tomorrow. There will be fireworks in the evening."

"I'm sure you've been here once, and you want to come here next year." Zhang Yan was full of confidence in the celebrations in her village. "You can see the lanterns in the evening. It's really beautiful. "

They went to Zhang Yan's house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a man about fifty years old sitting in the yard listening to the music."Dad, you're back."

Zhou Zhuo and Qian bin look at each other. It turns out that they are Zhang Yan's father, "good new year, uncle! I'm sorry to disturb you. "

Zhang Yan's father is also a hospitable person. When he sees Zhou Zhuo and Qian bin, he doesn't even listen to his favorite music. He quickly turns off his mobile phone and introduces them into the house with a smile.

"Is it fun outside?" Zhang Yan's father took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Zhuo. Zhou Zhuo didn't take it. Zhang Yan's father handed it to Qian bin, and Qian bin didn't take it either.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I quit smoking in the army these years. " Qian bin finished with a sunny smile.

"You worked hard in the army." Zhang Yan's father doesn't care if they really quit smoking. "Swallow said that you are looking for people here this time."

It's not a secret to find someone. Zhang Yan told her father that it's nothing, so Zhou Zhuo nodded, "yes, our leader asked us to come here to find someone. Unfortunately, many clues have disappeared after many years."

"Yes, uncle, we can't stay here so long if we don't want to finish the task. There are rules in the army. We can't go out too long."

"The army still has demands on these."

"Yes, we have to report to the leaders every day." Qian bin nodded, "of course, because it's Chinese new year now, so we have a three-day holiday."
