Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Spring Festival in the Loess Plateau of northern Shaanxi has a very strong folk atmosphere, especially in Dingbian. With the development of the economy, citizens live and work in peace and contentment and various undertakings are prosperous. The annual Spring Festival has become the focus of the Dingbian Special City Government.  The highlight.

    He Dingfu, the vice chairman of the Military and Political Commission who temporarily presided over the work of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, turned out to be Liu Hanzhang's right-hand man. He convened a meeting with the heads of various municipal departments. The theme of the meeting was that this year's Spring Festival in Dingbian must be lively and prosperous.  There was only one reason. Chairman Tang was in Dingbian and he was celebrating his wedding. Chairman Tang had strict orders that officials at all levels in the special economic zone were not allowed to attend the wedding.

    This is a great regret for the officials in Dingbian. It is also their wish to take the opportunity of the Chinese New Year for all the citizens to celebrate. Another point is to let Chairman Tang, who has not been back for many years, take a look.  The appearance of Dingbian citizens, in addition to the celebrations on New Year's Eve, there is also a city-wide Lantern Festival held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

    The meeting was very short, and the people in charge at all levels went back to make preparations with excitement. He Dingfu came to Tang Qiuli's office to report that when Liu Hanzhang was in Dingbian, this kind of thing was extremely rare for government officials at all levels.  They won't bother him, but now Vice Chairman Liu Hanzhang is far away in the Northeast, presiding over the reception work, and Tang Qiuli, the chairman, is the one who makes the decision!

    After He Dingfu finished reporting what he meant, Tang Qiuli was speechless for a while. He had no objection to the people of Dingbian Special Economic Zone celebrating the Spring Festival in this way. After all, the New Year is a day of joy and reunion, and there is no need to be extravagant.  Pass.  But using your own wedding as an example would be a bit much.

    "Vice Chairman Congratulations, I'm in Dingbian. Having a prosperous Chinese New Year is a unique folk custom of the Loess Plateau. The government strongly supports it, which is correct. However, it is not good to associate the festival celebration with my personal wedding. It's not good! I don't think so.  Qiu Li can't bear it!" Tang Qiuli said patiently.

    What kind of deputy is what kind of chief officer? He Dingfu's temper.  Similar to Liu Hanzhang, upon seeing this, he said seriously: "Chairman Tang, this is the decision of Dingbian City Government. I hope you respect public opinion. In addition, Chairman Tang has contributed a lot to the prosperity and stability of Dingbian today. Your  We obeyed the order and did not attend the wedding, but we cannot be deprived of congratulating you in another way!¡±

    Seeing the seriousness on He Dingfu's face, Tang Qiuli was helpless.  After careful consideration, he said: "I will not interfere with the decision of the Dingbian City Government and respect your opinions. But it cannot be too extravagant and wasteful. There is only one thing that must be removed, which is to hold various celebration activities on the grounds of my wedding, Tang Qiuli!"  "

    "Vice Chairman He, I, Tang Qiuli, am not the emperor. What I want to celebrate with the people, a personal wedding, let alone a national ceremony. I can't bear such a heavy weight. In addition, I don't care about the arrangement of related festival activities."  Don¡¯t interfere, and you will never interfere. You, the Dingbian City Government, can¡¯t just ask me to approve everything!¡±

    He Dingfu was happy. He knew that the founder of Dingbian was a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't care about the details, so he said: "Don't worry, I have arranged it a long time ago. No one will bother you. As long as you approve it, it will be done."  !" After a moment of hesitation, he continued without giving up: "Everyone celebrates a leader's wedding. It is a tradition in ancient and modern times. Why should Chairman Tang stick to this? Do you also give officials at all levels a chance to express their feelings?

    Tang Qiuli said uncompromisingly: "No, absolutely not. If you insist on doing this, I would rather not approve this Spring Festival celebration!"

    According to Tang Qiuli's plan, after spending the Spring Festival in Dingbian, he stayed with his parents at home until the tenth day of the first lunar month. On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, he rushed from Dingbian to Yangon to meet with several corps commanders to study the next military step.  The direction of action was that after he returned home, while having dinner, he casually told his parents and wives that the Dingbian City Government was going to hold a Lantern Festival Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

    Their parents are old and don't pay much attention to lively and prosperous things, but Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan are different. They follow Tang Qiuli to fight in various places. What they see the most are war scenes filled with smoke, which is rare.  There were several opportunities to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I am still very curious and longing for the New Year customs of the people on the loess land. Although Mei Ting spent several Spring Festivals in Dingbian, Tang Qiuli was not around, and she was left with endless thoughts.  , how could you care to watch the fun?

    This year is different. With her husband by her side, she also has a fun-loving mind. She smiles and says nothing, but her eyes reveal her true thoughts. As for Mei Xue, she spent several Spring Festivals with Tang Qiuli in the war zone.  When I heard that there was something exciting to watch, I was even more itchy. I looked at my husband with an expression of eagerness to try, and looked at my husband with a threatening look, as if it would not be over if he didn't agree.

    Especially for Liu Xinlan, although this is the second time she has celebrated the New Year in Dingbian, it is the first time since she got married. Last year, she celebrated the Spring Festival in Dingbian, which was the time when she recognized the two elders of the Zhang family as her adoptive father and adoptive mother.She was so sad that she couldn't think of celebrating the New Year. Now that she had finally become this man's wife, she also wanted to have a happy Spring Festival in her memory, so she looked at Tang Qiuli with a shy plea.

    Naturally, the expressions of the daughters-in-law could not be concealed from the experienced eyes of their parents. The father took a sip of wine and showed off his head-of-the-house manner and said, "Qiu'er, you come back once a year rarely, at home.  There are fewer days to celebrate the New Year. This year our family is finally complete, and Xinlan has just passed away. No matter how busy you are, there is no need to rush for a while. Let¡¯s spend the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Dingbian before leaving!  mom!"

    "Besides, my granddaughter will be four years old soon. As a father, you know how much time you spend with your children, right? You are busy outside all year round, and you are not afraid that your children will be alienated from you?"

    The father, the head of the family, opened his mouth and moved out his precious daughter. There was no change in this matter, "Okay dad, I listen to you, then I will not leave until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! On the specific day of departure,  You can decide again, but you can't stay in Dingbian for too long!" Tang Qiuli said helplessly.

    "I know you have many things to do and are a busy man, but I don't want you to be left at home to watch over us two old bones after talking so much!" said the father dissatisfied.

    Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan were overjoyed. Seeing their father-in-law teach their husband a lesson, they all snickered with joy. Mei Ting was busy taking care of her daughter with a smile in her eyes. Mei Xue was smart and hurriedly filled the wine glass for her father-in-law. Liu Xinlan also filled the glass for her mother-in-law.  After taking a bite of food, the two elders were greatly relieved to see that their daughters-in-law were so sensible, and their son agreed not to leave until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!

    On New Year's Eve, Tang Qiuli made the decision and invited the second elders of the Zhang family and the second elders of the Mei family to reunite with their parents. This was done more for the sake of the two elders of the Zhang family. The Mei family had servants, and his brother-in-law Mei Ling  After returning from a visit to relatives, it was not quite deserted, but since Liu Xinlan got married, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were not used to having servants, so their home seemed particularly deserted. Therefore, Tang Qiuli came to invite them in person.

    The two elders of the Zhang family were thinking about their daughter. It was too deserted for two old people to celebrate the New Year, so they didn't postpone it. As for Mr. Mei, he was an open-minded person and was quite lively. Tang Qiuli came to invite her and readily agreed.  A large number of people sat at two large tables in a lively manner. Tang Qiuli gave the servants a holiday and took his three wives to cook in person. He cooked two tables full of delicious food, and the elderly people gathered together.  As we chatted, the pots and pans in the kitchen were buzzing, and the aroma was overflowing.

    Mei Ling felt that chatting with a few old people had nothing to do, so he sneaked into the kitchen to help. Now, Mei Ling is a sturdy young man with the rank of major and a strong military temperament.  He was the battalion commander of the third brigade of Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and he was also a grassroots commander leading nearly a thousand soldiers. However, before returning to Dingbian, the commander of the corps, Feng Jiwu, specifically talked to him, saying that he wanted to  Get yourself a new job and be transferred to the Corps Headquarters Operations Department as deputy director.

    In fact, Mei Ling was not very interested in the position of deputy director of the Operations Department of the Corps. What he liked most was to lead troops to fight on the front lines. After graduating from the Senior Command Department of Dingbian Military Academy, he was assigned to the position of Niangzi.  As the acting platoon commander of the Guan Garrison Corps, he has been in the combat unit, step by step, and stepped up to the command post of battalion commander. He was promoted based on military merit. He couldn't make up his mind, so he took advantage of the opportunity to go home to visit relatives and wanted to solicit some advice.  Brother-in-law's opinion.

    After sneaking into the kitchen, he saw his brother-in-law, who was wearing an apron, flipping the spoon in a serious manner, and kept yelling, "take it here, take that," he looked like a chef. Counting Liu Xinlan, he had three sisters, and was taken over by his brother-in-law.  The instructions made her busy, and she couldn't help but enjoy herself secretly.

    Approaching Tang Qiuli, Mei Ling flattered him, "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect that you are also versatile in both civil and military affairs. You are not only able to command and fight, but you are also good at cooking. I really admire you!"

    Tang Qiuli knew his brother-in-law¡¯s character. He was honest and steady, and would not flatter anyone if nothing happened. Could it be that this boy made a mistake in the army?  Then he glanced at him and said, "Why are you sneaking into the kitchen instead of accompanying the old people in the living room? Have you learned how to wear a high hat on me? Did you make some mistake in the army and come here to ask for help?"  coming?"

    When Mei Ting heard this, she came over and said, "Look, you rarely see Meiling once in a few years. As soon as you meet, you teach me. Meiling, don't be afraid of making mistakes, just learn from them, don't have any burden on your heart!"

    Seeing that her brother-in-law and sister had misunderstood, Mei Ling hurriedly said: "Where did you think you were?!" Then he told the corps commander Feng Jiwu that he was transferred to be the deputy director of the corps' operations department.  said.

    Tang Qiuli handed the horse spoon to Mei Ting, wiped his hands with his apron, and looked at Mei Ling up and down, which made Mei Ling's heart tremble. To be honest, he really cared about this brother-in-law.Awe.

    "We'll talk about your business after dinner. Now, let's start dinner right away. Why are you standing there? Help with the dishes!" Tang Qiuli suddenly said with a "chuckling smile".
