Modern children, whether from the city or the countryside, can go to school for free and do not need to work at home. They can learn all kinds of knowledge and experience, and it is extremely convenient to access information. As long as they want to learn, they can search for all kinds of knowledge on the Internet with a mobile phone.

But what about the children in the village now?

From the time I was born until I was in my teens, the farthest place I had been to was probably a neighboring village within a radius of 20 miles.

Not only was there no access to school, but their only knowledge of the outside world was village gossip and nursery rhymes passed down from their ancestors.

As soon as they can walk, they have to start helping with housework. Where do they find the free time to learn talents and build up their courage?

As with any skill, practice makes perfect.

Aunt Su still remembers that when their small square dance team danced in the small park every day, an older sister who was a few years older than her came to her hesitantly and timidly to ask if she could join.

Of course you can. We dance not just for dancing, but also for fun.

But after that older sister started to dance along, everyone noticed that her limbs were uncoordinated, her movements were very stiff, and she couldn't hit the mark at all.

Later I learned that this older sister only went to junior high school, got married early, and was a housewife all her life. She had never participated in any group activities, let alone go to the gym to learn various dances.

At that time, other people in their team were privately disliking this elder sister for lowering the level of the team.

But unexpectedly, the eldest sister also knew how to work hard. She went home and practiced diligently every day, like an early bird catches the worm. After a month, her dancing moves were not much different from those of the old team members. After that, when she learned other new dances, her learning speed was the same as others.

So the most difficult part is the process from zero to one.

Today's children are making the leap from zero to one.

While Aunt Su was thinking, the first show came to an end.

The final pose made by the girls was one row squatting, one row standing, and the big characters held up, which formed ten big characters: Green mountains and beautiful rivers, and bright Mid-Autumn moon.

When the girls recited these two sentences in unison, some people in the audience couldn't help but recite them aloud as well.

Then there were rounds of applause and cheers...

A man from another village held his four-year-old baby on his head and watched the performance on the stage, unable to take his eyes off it.

Just because just now, his four-year-old son pointed at the little girl holding up the word "mountain" and shouted, "Mountain, mountain! This is the word "mountain"!"

To a man's ears, doesn't it sound like heavenly music?

"Goudan, is there anything else? Is there anyone you recognize?"

The four-year-old puppy was very proud and pointed at the little girl holding up the Chinese character.

"Hit, hit! This is hit!"

This girl has the roundest face and the biggest red flower on her head, so he remembers her clearly!

Although the four-year-old's voice did not stand out at all amid the noisy laughter from the audience.

But as a father, he knows exactly what he is talking about!

Mom, Dad! It's a pity that you didn't come to see this Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, and didn't see how smart our Goudan is. Just by coming to see a lantern festival, your eldest grandson learned to recognize two words!

If this isn’t Wenquxing, then who is it?

When I get back, I will save money, save money as much as I can!

Even if I have to sell everything I have, I have to find a way to send Goudan to school!

He is a person from another village, but he has such wild thoughts in his mind, let alone the people from Sujiazhuang?

What about the parents of the girls on the stage?

Everyone had their mouths wide open and couldn't close them.

After the girls' performance, it was the boys' turn.

The boys’ performance was similar to that of the girls, except that they held up ten different words in their hands.

The boys are obviously much braver than the girls.

When these guys come on stage, they not only have to walk to the front of the stage, but also show off some tricks.

Some did a front flip, some did a back flip, or some did a cartwheel... Those who really had no skills simply turned around a few times, which made the audience laugh.

The second program also ended successfully.

The third show was performed by two men, one middle-aged and one young.

The middle-aged man was dressed neatly and played a cheerful flute tune.

The thin young man, on the other hand, wore a colorful women's dress and sang and danced charmingly on the stage.

The villagers in the audience laughed so hard that they fell over, holding their stomachs and groaning.

Even Aunt Su couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He Shan, who was sitting next to her, rolled into Aunt Su's arms and laughed secretly.

Isn’t this Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival more interesting than the one in Beijing?

The fourth program was much more serious than the third.

Three young men, dressed in tight clothes, performed a set of boxing techniques vigorously on the stage to the beat of drums.

Of these three young men, two were from Old Lady Su's concubine family, and the other was from a tenant's family. No one knew how the three of them formed a team.

Aunt Su had previously announced that everyone should voluntarily sign up for the performance.

Although they knew that the old lady would give them rewards, most of the people in Sujiazhuang were honest and sometimes they couldn't even speak when they were nervous. How could they dare to go on the stage and perform under the gaze of hundreds of eyes?

Therefore, there are very few applicants, and it is absolutely impossible for those who are older.

Only those who are usually talkative and playful, such as the guy in women's clothes and the three guys who are boxing, would dare to go on stage and give it a try.

However, when they came on stage, they showed their faces in front of about two hundred people.

Not only did they receive rewards from the old lady afterwards, but each person also received two silver ingots, half a piece of fine cloth, three feet of red silk and other things. Wouldn't everyone envy them?

Some aunts and wives from other villages came to watch the fun and took note of it. Not long after, they came to propose marriages to them. The young men and women who were originally ignored became popular and in the end they all got good marriages... but that's a story for later.

After the fourth program, it is the final stage.

Although there are fewer programs, having fewer programs has its advantages.

In order to avoid dragging out the time too long, everyone will be tired and sleepy, and might miss the appearance of the big boss, Aunt Su!

Aunt Su walked slowly onto the stage.

Although the person standing on the stage was just an old lady, there was still silence in the audience and no one dared to say a word.

Su Zhong, who was standing next to him, raised his voice as high as he could and said, "This year, our Sujia Village has enjoyed good weather and a good harvest. We have to thank the world for its clear and bright laws and the protection of the immortals."

"Now, the old lady will lead all of us to thank Su Xian on this stage!"

Everyone in Sujia Village knew that the old lady led all the people in the village to thank the gods.

Although most of the people from other villages don't know this, the atmosphere has been created here. Besides, Sujiazhuang's fortune is indeed booming this year, so how can these people from other villages not be envious?

Therefore, although it was a little unexpected, everyone planned to follow suit and pay their respects to get some benefit from it.

Aunt Su bowed to the audience, turned around, and bowed solemnly toward the screen wall...

When the crowds below the stage followed suit and bowed, they felt that this time worshipping the immortal was just like going to a temple, just bowing and kowtowing a few times.

No one had even the slightest idea that immortals could really perform miracles.

However, when they looked up, a bright light appeared out of nowhere above the stage!

what?

Many people could hardly believe their eyes. They rubbed their eyes hard and stared upwards with wide eyes.

But those who didn't rub their eyes couldn't help but gasp.

"Ah? This, this is..."

The word "what" was instantly swallowed back.

Because the light had changed, and instantly transformed into two cranes...

"Fairy, fairy crane!"

"The immortal has appeared!"

"Be quiet! Don't make the immortal angry."

There were nearly two hundred people in the audience, and most of them knelt and bowed devoutly. Only a few were brave enough to scream out in surprise, but they were stopped by the angry glares from the people next to them after they had only said two words.

I saw two cranes flying gracefully over the stage, then they turned around and flew straight towards the screen wall of the stage.

Everyone was staring at this magical scene intently, and at this moment they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, not caring whether they would anger the immortal.

But the two green cranes instantly disappeared when they touched the screen wall.

This made everyone express regret again.

No, no, they haven’t seen enough!

Witnessing such an auspicious and magical magical thing with their own eyes would make them brag about it for the rest of their lives!

But the screen wall, which originally had only two lamps hanging on it, was now shining brightly, as bright as day.

Everyone stared and opened their mouths, but they dared not speak anymore.

Then the light and shadow on the screen wall began to change, as if it was surrounded by thick clouds and mist.

After a few breaths, the clouds and mist drifted away to both sides as if blown by a gust of wind.

The carved railings and painted buildings in the middle gradually appeared.

At this moment, even the most talkative women and men in the village kept their mouths shut tightly and opened their eyes wide, fearing that if they blinked, they would miss out on seeing many fairy sights and objects!

A sound of music floated faintly from the horizon.

And the beautiful buildings seemed to be flying, and in a few breaths, they were getting closer and closer to everyone.

Although many people could not speak, they were thinking in their hearts, could it be that the fairy palace in the sky was about to fall into Sujiazhuang?

Could it be that the old lady has been enlightened by an immortal, and those of us in Sujiazhuang can also follow the immortal and become enlightened, and ascend to heaven?

However, the Heavenly Palace stopped flying that day.

Only a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of the palace can be seen on the screen wall.

A breeze blows by, and osmanthus flowers fall.

A cute snow-white rabbit was jumping under the tree, its three-petal mouth moving constantly.

At this time, even little kids of four or five years old could recognize the rabbit and the osmanthus tree.

Isn’t this the Moon Rabbit, the fairy’s pet in the Moon Palace?

The story of the Moon Fairy flying to the moon is something they have heard from the adults at home since they were young.

Ahhhhh!

My mother, grandmother and father did not lie to me. It turns out there really is a fairy palace and a moon rabbit on the moon!

It really is a fairy rabbit, it is so white and bright, and its eyes are like rubies!

Also, since there are fairy palaces and moon rabbits, I wonder if there are fairies?

But the fairy rabbit jumped and skipped, and in a few seconds it went behind the osmanthus tree.

Many little kids were very anxious and wanted to shout out to ask the fairy rabbit to come back!

But firstly, I didn't dare, and secondly, my parents' hands were on my shoulders.

But after a few breaths, a fairy figure, wearing jewelry and tassels, with a fairy-like appearance and fluttering clothes, walked out from behind the osmanthus tree, holding the snow-white fairy rabbit in one of her white hands.

This, this, this...isn’t this the Moon Palace Fairy?

Several elderly people were already in tears after watching the show.

Fairy!

They really didn't expect that one day in this life, they would actually see a fairy with their own eyes!

The Moon Palace Fairy held a fairy rabbit in one hand and a flower basket in the other.

She moved lightly with lotus steps, turned slightly sideways, and showed half of her profile to the crowd. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she smiled with dimples...and the hand holding the flower basket suddenly threw it towards the crowd.

I saw many gorgeous flowers in the basket flying to the underworld and to the people kneeling under the stage.

Everyone tilted their heads back unconsciously...but once they reacted, they quickly reached out to take it.

But the fairy in the celestial palace on the screen wall had suddenly gone out, never to be seen again.

The screen wall turned back into its original ordinary brick and stone wall.

The people kneeling on the ground looked up into the sky, unwilling to get up for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took.

Then I heard the old lady's voice.

"Everyone, get up! The immortal has left..."

Although Aunt Su anticipated the shock it might cause, she did not expect it to be like this.

She had to say it two or three times in a row, and Su Zhong, who woke up first, also shouted, and only then could the people kneeling on the ground be woken up.

Aunt Su added, "It's late at night, let's end the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival here."

Aunt Jiao, Su Mei and He Shan all came forward and saw that Aunt Su was still holding a wooden box in her hand, so they wanted to take it.

Aunt Su shook her head. "This is a tribute to Su Xian. It would be more sincere if I take it myself."

The three men then stopped and accompanied Aunt Su back to the Xinzhuang courtyard.

He Shan didn't know how she got back to the courtyard.

Taozhi, the maid beside her, also looked a little dazed.

He lit the lights in the room, made the bed, followed He Shan into the bathroom, helped He Shan wash up, and then followed He Shan into the bedroom as if in a trance.

Taozhi sat on the footstool and then muttered to herself.

"My lady, I actually saw a god today!"

"Woo woo woo woo, this slave will not lose even if she dies!"

He Shan also sat on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all.

If she wasn't afraid of startling others, she felt that she could run around the bed in the room dozens of times.

"I feel like I'm dreaming too!"

"Mother, it would be great if you could bring my brother with you!"

Taozhi seemed to have been reminded.

"Girl, at the end, the Moon Palace Fairy sprinkled flowers from heaven on us all. I don't know if they really fell on us. Isn't this a great blessing?"

He Shan nodded vigorously, "Yes! What a blessing!"

Previously, when Aunt Jiao talked about the enlightenment of immortals, she and her mother didn't believe it.

I didn’t expect that my grandmother really had a fairy connection!
