Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ?

    During the Ching Ming Festival, it rains heavily, and passers-by on the road want to die.

    Time at school always flies by quickly, and in a blink of an eye the Ching Ming holiday is here again, three days!  We can rest for another three days!

    Qingming is originally a time for going to graves to pay respects to ancestors, but customs vary from place to place. For us, Qingming no longer means mourning, but is a holiday that we look forward to very much throughout the year.

    It was even once equal to the National Day of May Day.

    On the day of the Qingming Festival, Yuantong Town will hold an exchange meeting. The duration of this meeting, whether it is the time, the area covered, or the size of the staff, is the largest in a hundred miles!

    As a group of well-preserved ancient towns in western Sichuan, Yuantong Ancient Town is superior to ordinary villages in terms of historical significance and commemorative value.

    The ancient town is located on the side of the Xijiang River, close to the Xijiang River, and the chain bridge crosses the river.

    The main site of the conference is below the Yuantong Iron Cable Bridge, all the way to the Yuantong Bridge, and the length is one kilometer.

    In winter, the river is half dry, exposing most of the stones at the bottom of the river. The row close to the bank is 500 meters wide, and this area is the main venue.

    ? The Ching Ming Festival is the longest in the Southwest, with a wide venue and a large number of people. Therefore, in order to earn more money, the merchants who settled in will extend the time of the meeting a lot.

    As long as I can remember, Qingming Festival has been longer than our Jinjiang meeting.

    Now it's even more exaggerated.

    ?The Ching Ming session, which originally lasted three or four days, now takes six or seven days to end.  Of course, the most crowded and busiest time is only on Qingming Day.

    Our home is quite far from the ancient town. It takes an hour to ride a bicycle for a distance of six kilometers.  Today, I set off by bike with my grandparents.

    Grandpa was carrying grandma, and I rode on the bicycle alone.

    An hour later, I came to Yuantong Street.

    ?From here, it continues to the end of the street, a sea of ??people!

    "Ren Tao, you are here!" Liu Lei greeted across the road.

    "Liu Lei! Bai Lei!" I hurriedly waved to the two of them.

    "Grandma, grandma, Liu Lei and I went shopping. When we are about to leave, I will stop here and wait for you." After the communication, I parked the car and walked towards the main venue with Liu Lei.

    However, grandparents go shopping slowly, and they also need to live in their own two-person world, so I won't bother.

    "Where shall we go first?" Bai Lei asked.

    "Let's go to the old street first!" After Liu Lei expressed his opinion, he waited for our reply.

    Since Liu Lei has a suggestion, let's go to the old street!

    "Wow! Zhuan Tang Hua!" As soon as he reached the intersection, Bai Lei went to the place where Zhuan Tang Hua was.

    "Boss, how much money is there for one transfer?" There were many people around the sugar painting booth, all standing and looking at the boss.

    As a folk art here, sugar painting has long been known and loved by everyone.

    "One dollar at a time, and I will draw whatever you want." The boss sat on a small stool, and there were two wooden boxes in front of him. The boxes were square, and a piece of pure white marble was placed on top of it.  There is a pattern of the Chinese zodiac, a bamboo pointer in the middle, stir it, and when it stops, the pattern pointed by the pointer is the sugar painting obtained by this dollar.

    "One dollar! I'll turn it once!" Bai Lei handed over one dollar, squatted next to the wooden box, and was about to start his first sugar painting.

    "Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!" When the pointer turned, Bai Lei stared at the pointer excitedly, hoping that it would stay at the position of "Dragon" as it wished.

    Among the twelve zodiac signs, only the dragon is the most complex creature and the largest in size. If it is transferred to it, it can eat for a long time!

    "Hey~", as the pointer stops, it freezes at a chick, which also indicates that the sugar painting that Bai Lei got is a chick.

    Originally, I hoped that he would be able to fulfill our wish!

    For one dollar, it would be great if you could turn into a dragon!

    "Liu Lei, are you going to transfer?" Bai Lei looked at us expectantly.

    "No, let's move on!" Liu Lei resolutely refused, joking, it's not worth buying such a small sugar painting for a dollar!

    Although there are not as many people in the old street as in the river dam, there are everything to eat, drink and have fun.

    After visiting here, we came to the Chain Bridge.

    As one of the representative objects of the ancient town, the Chain Bridge, most people will come here during the annual meeting.

    Both sides are tied with iron chains, running through the river bank, between the iron chains, paved with wooden boards, people walking on it, wobbly, quite feeling.

    Under the chain bridge, is theriver dam.

    Standing on the bridge and looking at the people passing through the river dam, it is another scene.

    "Let's go, let's play in the river dam?" I suggested.

    Both the old street and the chain bridge are used for viewing, and the real excitement has to enter the river dam.

    "Let's go!" After the two agreed, they walked like a river dam.

    The length of about one kilometer inside the dam was deliberately divided into several areas by traders.  Grocery area, snack area, farm tool area, amusement facility area.

    The focus is on the amusement facility area, where there are various attractive amusement facilities, which are very lively.

    Bumper cars, big turntables, pirate ships, carousels, and aerial swings are all exciting and fun projects.

    Squeeze into the crowd, follow the flow of people, and walk towards the hot music concentration area amidst the noisy voices.

    ? I stopped and walked all the way, and when I squeezed to the amusement facility, ten minutes had passed

    "Do you drive bumper cars?" Bai Lei was already eager to try it.

    "Drive, drive!" As a car project, the bumper car project is famous for its strong control and stronger sense of experience, and most boys will like it.

    Enter the bumper car and touch the steering wheel, as if you are already driving a real car.

    Bumper cars, as the name suggests, are for collisions, and the thrill beyond imagination stimulates people's blood to spurt.

    When we got out of the car, the feeling of lingering on the car really cared about our hearts.

    "Ren Tao! Are you alone?" As soon as he turned around, he unexpectedly ran into Sanniang and the third son-in-law with Feng Meier also visiting the exhibition.

    "Sanniang! Uncle Yao! I was with my classmates, and my grandparents were also here. They walked on the other side." I replied truthfully.

    "What about your mother?" Sanniang continued.

    "My mother and the others are in Chengdu, not at the house."

    "Let's go, Sanniang treats you to barbecue!" Sanniang pulled me up and walked to the barbecue stall next to me, which made me look embarrassed.

    Fortunately, Liu Lei motioned for me to see you later, and he and Bai Lei disappeared into the crowd.

    Dried tofu, cauliflower, Jungan, ham sausage, all kinds of delicacies are threaded into skewers and stacked on the shelves.

    Isn't the conference period just about eating and shopping?  After Sanniang spoke, I was naturally not ready to be polite.

    Fist-sized quail chicken, come get one!

    A ham sausage that is more than one card long, here is one!

    With my beginning, Feng Meier is also frantically choosing vegetarian dishes such as potato chips and lotus root slices, just to have fun together!

    The taste of barbecue is not so wonderful, but under the support of this atmosphere, it can be called delicious in the world!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
