Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 325 Bonfire

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and people's cheers and shouts echoed throughout the world.

Zhuhou Village

On a large open space in the village, there was a large bonfire rack as high as a two-story building, which was filled with bundles of hay.

This is the annual Harvest Festival Bonfire Festival. Choosing an auspicious day is the traditional way of celebration in Zhuhou Village.

A ceremony is held to celebrate the smooth and good harvest of wheat and to pray for good weather in the coming year.

It is the perfect time for wheat harvest, as the wheat was covered with snow last year, which was a good omen. But this spring the snow has long melted away, and the wheat is growing healthily, with full grains.

"Chun He, when did your elder brother come back?"

Ye Dong'er pulled Lin Chunhe aside, looked curiously at the tall figure standing aside with his arms folded, and asked curiously.

I didn't expect that Brother Chunhe would be so handsome, tall and strong.

This made many sisters in the village who were as old as my elder sister look shy.

"He has only been back for a few days. If my grandfather hadn't pulled him out, my brother probably wouldn't stay here." Lin Chunhe replied.

"Well, I told you my eldest brother is handsome, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe it, right?"

Ye Dong'er looked at the tall figure standing over there, and then looked at the figure in front of her.

Why is there such a big difference?

"What do you mean by that look?" Lin Chunhe slapped Ye Dong'er in annoyance.

"What kind of look can I have? I don't think you two brothers look alike."

"Everyone says that I look like my father and my brother looks like my mother," Lin Chunhe explained.

"By the way, isn't your brother a scholar? Why don't you continue studying?"

Ye Dong'er was very envious of Lin Chunhe for having a brother who was a scholar.

"You forgot that we were fleeing famine. We didn't even have enough food to eat, let alone money. How could we have the energy to study? That's why we had to go out with my father to do business. That's how we earned some money and settled down in this village."

Lin Chunhe put away his usual playful expression and spoke with a serious face.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It's not easy for you guys."

"So from what you said, does your brother have to prepare for the next exam?"

"Well, I heard what my father said. This is good. I don't have to wander around outside and sleep in the open air. It won't make my grandfather, grandmother and mother worry."

"What are you talking about? Come over and play." Wang Fenglin shouted loudly.

"Hahahaha, Wang Fenglin, why are there so many black spots on your face?"

"Hahaha, look at me turning around and taking it out."

Wang Fenglin had a thin body but was extremely agile. He stretched out his two hands that looked like they were covered with charcoal, and before the two men could react, he left a black palm print on their faces.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Wang Fenglin burst into laughter and ran away quickly.

"Wang Fenglin, stop right there." Ye Dong'er reacted and quickly wiped her face with her hands, but she ended up making things worse. Instead of wiping her face clean, her clean palms were stained with black. She was so angry that she shouted loudly and chased after Wang Fenglin.

"Wait for me, I'm going to settle accounts with him too." Lin Chunhe also shouted loudly and chased after him.

"Hahaha, you can't catch up with me."

"Lululu..." Wang Fenglin was extremely happy. He made a face at the two angry people and ran away.

"Catch him, Wang Fenglin, you can't escape." Two or three young boys with charcoal smeared on their faces ran over from the other direction.

"Come on, come on, I'm not afraid of you." Wang Fenglin said provocatively, then quickly climbed up a big tree and jumped from the branches to the nearby roof.

"Grandpa, whose family is that kid? He's very agile." Feng Juesheng was watching a group of kids playing around and was surprised to see Wang Fenglin climbing the tree so skillfully.

Uncle Lin put his hands behind his back, glanced at the figure standing on the roof, and said, "That kid you're talking about is from the Wang family who lives at the end of the village. His father is a hunter, so it's not surprising that he has some skills."

"Grandma, are you tired? Do you want to go back first? It's getting late." Ye Qiuer helped Grandma Ye sit on a stone bench and suggested.

"Qiu'er, don't worry about me, grandma. Go take a walk. It's rare to see so many young men in the village come out." Grandma Ye pointed at the young men gathered in the crowd to watch and motioned Ye Qiu'er to go over.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? I'm not going." Ye Qiuer retorted. She really didn't expect that there was such a meaning behind this. No wonder all the girls in the village were dressed in fancy clothes and put on heavy makeup.

I was just wearing the same clothes as usual, but grandma asked me to change. Unfortunately, Ye Qiuer just insisted on doing what she wanted and didn't listen at all.

I was thinking, it’s just a Bonfire Festival, why should I dress so beautifully?

"Qiu'er, I think the young man standing over there is quite good-looking. He is tall and strong, and has a good-looking face. You should go over and meet him."

Grandma Ye pushed Ye Qiuer and suggested.

"Grandma, let me tell you, a guy who is tall and handsome must be favored by many girls. He is very scheming and unreliable."

"Sister, why do you say that?" Ye Man'er glanced at the figure standing over there. There were no girls around him at all, and he didn't look like that kind of person.

Ye Qiuer glanced at her sister and said, "Man'er, don't forget what I do."

Ye Maner pursed her lips but still didn't say anything.

I can only complain secretly in my heart: I feel that it is not reliable for Sister to make such random definitions.

Grandma Ye strongly disagreed with Ye Qiuer's statement. The young man didn't look like that kind of person from his appearance. "Qiuer, you don't know him, so don't label him randomly. You have to understand him first before you can define him."

"I understand, grandma." Ye Qiuer also knew that she might have been thinking about the stories she had read and was out of touch with reality. She really shouldn't give people random definitions.

"Sister, do you want to go up and have a chat with them?" Ye Maner encouraged.

"You are the only one who talks too much. Go ahead!"

"Why would I go up there? It's not like I'm going to see them."

"I……"

"Stop, stop arguing. It's giving me a headache." Grandma Ye stopped the two sisters from arguing about which one should go and which one shouldn't go. "I'll go."

"Grandma, what are you doing? I don't have the mood for that right now. Didn't you say you were tired? I'll carry you home first."

Ye Qiuer hurriedly stopped him, and without waiting for her grandma to react, she quickly carried her grandma on her back and walked through the crowd.

"You little girl, when did I say I was tired? Put grandma down."

"Look, you said you had plenty, but you forgot right after you said it."

Ye Qiuer didn't care whether her grandma agreed or not. She just carried the baby on her back and quickened her pace away from the crowd.

"Sister, wait for me!"

Ye Maner walked through the crowd, following in the footsteps of her elder sister.
