Getting up, pick up the phone, hand a look at the calendar, the heart of a shock, did not think that the old home of Yu Temple Fair to, long in the cage I would like to make time to visit my parents, and in the meantime to stroll through the temple fair, which is also the practice of each year. My hometown is the ancient city of Yuwang, the so-called first capital of China. The Yu Temple Festival is held on the 21st and 23rd of March and September of the lunar calendar every year. When I was a child, every time the temple fair, I felt as happy as a festival, the first night, I thought of eating some cold noodles, buns, sugar cane and other delicious food at the temple fair. Hey, even dreaming, also flow down to see the food is difficult to swallow back the saliva. No wonder, children are greedy! The next day, they pestered their mothers to leave early ...... and now although accustomed to the supermarket shopping, but to the temple fair to stroll around, see, also have a flavor, at least to find the feeling of childhood.
After breakfast, pack up, drive to set off. All the way to the air filled with a slight coolness, so that people feel comfortable, but do not have the heart to stay all the way to the beautiful scenery, the mood to go home in the speeding, after all, is close to the countryside feeling more cut.
As in previous years, the temple fair is called a sea of people. The street side of the car storage place various cars lined up a long line, look at the car of the grandfather is not ambiguous, yell this, greet that, take advantage of this good opportunity to earn two. Oh, people live seventy, who is not for a mouthful of food ......
Yu Wang Street entrance to the crowd, a long way to see surrounded by a large group of people. The first thing I've seen is a lot of people who have been in the same boat for a long time! I rushed forward to squeeze, I thought it was something new, but it turned out to be a monkey player. Three monkeys with the owner of the perennial wanderers in line with the owner's gestures to do some uninteresting action. Then look at the monkey man, age 20 or so, wearing a crooked green hat, head seems to be wrapped in gauze. Not by the monkey to beat it. I do not know whether the visitors do not throw money or monkey player skills are not good, stopped to look at a while, and remembered when I was a child on the street to see Henan's traveling party artists playing monkey: that person well, twice as neat, there are performance clothes! The monkey, but also adult monkeys, a pair of monkey eyes alive and well, flashing a sly light. They change their masks and shake their hats and wings in a way that makes them look good. Always look at a game after a game, can not bear to leave. And then look at this descendant in front of me, alas, not on the road ......
Into the main street, wow! The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the main street. The middle of the road and both sides of the road are full of all kinds of stalls: sell sun hat guy wearing a brand new sun hat is trying to solicit customers: "walk by, don't miss ......" sell pear neck a load of money small black bag almost to stand to the top of the bouncing car; sell toy stalls, coaxing a circle of people to the top of the car. toys stall, coaxed a circle of children, a young woman is trying to pull the bawling child to go, the child's hands clutching the Ultraman toys do not let go; selling the so-called ten yuan gold necklace of the aunt is skilfully for the love of beauty of the girls to measure the body tailoring chain; selling wrenches and hoes of the owner of the stalls stand in the grocery support should rush to attendees to select; cold powder stall with children in front of the woman as if no one else to open the clothes to the child breastfeeding; selling processing pants sister-in-law is holding a soft tape measure for an old man who rushed to the market to buy goods to measure the waistline; buy old books stalls surrounded by a group of schoolchildren picking and choosing, chattering, just like a Taobao look; street photo studio with a rainbow door, tannoy playing Liu Huan sang: "I and you, heart to heart ...... "On the square stage, the troupe of actresses is with the rhythm of the gongs and drums of the children as a sob singing that the "three women teach their children", under the stage of the onlookers onlookers are wiping their noses and wiping their tears ......
I squeezed forward again. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure that I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm sure that I'll be able to do it. An iron pot on the stove put a pot of hot oil, there are two old people are there silently do the hands of the 'work. The old lady in a thin black cotton jacket, clean, holding a wire made of "spoon" in the pot turning those being boiled billet． The old man's face there is a trace of blush, a look is the kind of year-round in the crop fields, do not often go out of the red-faced man. He sat on his side and made the oil cake. I don't know what the reason is, the people who patronize the oil cake stall are few, but the two old men are still slowly doing the work in their hands, quietly waiting for the customers to come ......
Right next to the old man, a freshly purchased ice machine on the sticker of the film has not yet torn off, but the old man is still in the middle of his work, and the old man is still in the middle of his work. A family of three is excitedly surrounded by the ice machine, a middle-aged man is fussing with a bamboo spatula in the test frying, his wife wearing an apron at the side of the busy pass material, their daughter with a ponytail stood by the machine to watch intently. Perhaps, this just bought the fried ice machine is their last year's fall corn harvest; perhaps, this just bought the fried ice machine is their summer to earn some living expenses of the idea; perhaps, this just bought the fried ice machine is the child read high school tuition count on; perhaps, this just bought the fried ice machine cohesion of their family of the hope of a happy life. ......
These two stalls are so close to me, their knitted brows, every move I have been in the eyes, slowly the heart of the birth of a little feeling. The two old people cooking oil cake will be the young couple's late mapping? The spirit of hard work, life goes on and on, and labor is most truly and realistically embodied in these grassroots laborers. Perhaps the farmer's song sung by Yin Xiangjie is more appropriate here: in order to eat meat, in order to wear silk, in order to live in the building, in order to go forward again ......
Mang the world, living in the yellow earth like the simple folks. I am also a mortal, and usually close to them, and witnessed the hardships and difficulties of their livelihood. The faces of the old or young, in the relentless wind and sun have become so dry, dark, but they are more than life, the struggle, the pursuit of a happy life. Perhaps, Yu temple fair on the crowd is the epitome of the life of the toiling masses; perhaps, among them are our parents, siblings, relatives and friends, every time we recall those vivid faces and smiles, the memory is filled with moving sadness ...... bless them!
