Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

  Chapter 638 Torch Festival

  After dinner, Huo Jianfeng said to Han Mingxiu while helping to clean the table, “Tomorrow is the Torch Festival, and I may not be able to come back tonight. You don’t have to wait for me.

  Han Mingxiu listened and told Huo Jianfeng to pay attention to safety. Because people are celebrating festivals during the holidays, there are many people, crowded, and accidents are easy, so be extra careful.

  Huo Jianfeng heard his wife’s instructions and said heartily: “Don’t worry, your man knows that he will never let the enemy succeed!”

Han Mingxiu said, "Even if you know it, you must be careful. Don’t forget, you are still the father of three children and the husband of a woman. So your life belongs not only to you, but also to us. I hope you can Always pay attention to safety, you must ensure your own safety!"

"Knowing my daughter-in-law, for you and the child, I will listen to all directions, and I must protect myself! Don't worry, daughter-in-law, I will come back to report to you safely and securely." Huo Jianfeng solemnly promised. .

  Early the next morning, after Han Mingxiu had breakfast, he and Xiaofu led the three children on the street. Each of them bought a national costume for the torch festival. The faces of several people are super high, and they look even better when they wear beautiful national costumes.

  Only the small pair is a bit fat, so I had to buy clothes of the size one size bigger. Although they are about the same weight and thin, the clothes are all one size bigger. They wear diapers, which are not as beautiful as the older brothers and sisters.

However, it is also cute, like a white and tender little dumpling. Everyone who sees it wants to pat his little **** and pinch his fleshy little face. I walked around this way and received it. Shaoyu's horrifying look at him "violently" made Xiaoshuang so scared that Xiaoshuang had to hold Aunt Xiaofu's hand tightly, lest he would be squeezed by those bad adults...

  Today's street is particularly lively, with the hawking of hawkers one after another. Men, women and children in festive costumes come and go, and there is a constant stream. There are also many children like big and small pairs, dressed in festive costumes playing on the street. It's so lively, there is a peaceful and happy scene everywhere...

The   Torch Festival has three days, and there is a fire sacrifice ceremony on the first night.

  On the day of sacrifice to fire, the villages will slaughter cattle and sheep, share them collectively, and prepare wine and meat to worship their ancestors. When night falls, people in the neighboring villages will set up altars at locations chosen by the old people, hit stones to make fires to light the sacred fire, and Bimo (the folk priest of the Yi ethnic group) will chant sutras and sacrifice the fire.

  Then, every household, adults and children, would take the torches made of wormwood from Bimo and wander around the corners of the fields, following the legend of Ashmoon using fire to drive insects.

  Although the ceremony is lively, the children will definitely like it, but for safety reasons, Han Mingxiu decided not to take the children out to participate in the event at night.

  That night, Huo Jianfeng did not return for a whole night. Han Mingxiu was afraid of insecurity, so she deliberately released the bodyguards and kept them in the yard. In this way, if there is any trouble, the bodyguards will remind them as soon as possible...

  Fortunately, nothing happened overnight.

Before dawn the next day, Huo Jianfeng came back and stayed up all night. He looked a little tired, not only his hair was messy, but there were red blood in his eyes. Looking at his tired look, Han Mingxiu felt distressed, although he wanted to ask him yesterday. I went to patrol at night to see if I was in trouble, but in order to give him more time to rest, she swallowed all the doubts full of questions.

  She hurriedly fetched water for him to wash his hands and face, took out some Goubuli steamed buns and a bowl of old duck soup for him from the space, and let him have a good breakfast.

  When he finished eating, Han Mingxiu urged him to rest.

  Huo Jianfeng only took a short break for two hours, and then went out in a hurry.

  This is the second day of the Torch Festival. On this day, every family gathers under the altar torch to hold various traditional activities. The boys have to engage in horse racing, wrestling, singing, bullfighting, sheep fighting, cockfighting and other activities. The girls have to wear beautiful clothes, hold up butter umbrellas, sing Duo Luohe, and dance.

It was lively until the evening. When night fell, young lovers of men and women were in the mountains, on the banks of the river, under the yellow oil umbrellas, plucking the piano, strumming their mouths, and telling each other about their love. Therefore, Some people call the torch festival of the Yi nationality the "Eastern Valentine's Day".

  On such a beautiful night, it is the climax of the entire Torch Festival and the most lively day..."

  Han Mingxiu didn't plan to go out for safety, but a few children heard the lively cheers, drums, and laughter outside, all of them making noise, and they had to go out and have a look.

  Han Mingxiu is accustomed to children. Seeing the children so eagerly want to go out to see and see, and thinking that there might not be anything going on, so he took them out.
