A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

In the newly built blue brick courtyard, twenty or thirty women from Su Zhong's family gathered together, talking excitedly.

"The old lady said that the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. The Double Ninth Festival is all about respecting and loving the elderly. This year, the people in our farm have worked hard, and the harvest in the shop is also good. Everyone liked the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival held last time..."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

This is more than just liking it! It has been more than ten days, and every household talks about the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, right?

Moreover, if the people from Sujiazhuang go outside, this will be a source of bragging rights!

Relatives from other villages, who wouldn’t look up to us now?

"Well, the old lady is planning to hold a Chongyang Festival party."

As soon as Su Zhongjia said this, someone asked a question.

"Auntie Su, what is this Chongyang Festival party?"

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival before, many lanterns were hung, right? That's why it's called a lantern festival. Although there are lanterns hung this time, there are not as many as last time, and the lanterns are not the main focus. And it starts after dinner, so it's called a Chongyang evening party."

Everyone nodded, and I don’t know whether they understood or not, but they nodded anyway.

"Oh I got it."

Su Zhongjia continued, "The old lady said that the emphasis of this Double Ninth Festival Gala is to respect and love the elderly. At that time, all the elderly people over 50 years old in each family will have a seat in the front row of the stage, just like last time. Not only will they have seats, but each person will also be given a bag of Double Ninth Festival flower cakes!"

All the older women present smiled happily when they heard this.

"Oh! That's great! The old lady really has compassion for the elderly and the poor. Since she came to the farm, we have gained so much that it's hard to describe how much benefit she has brought us."

Su Zhong and Su Zhong are both over 50 years old.

Therefore, her family would have at least two packs of Chongyang Flower Cake.

Although everyone in her family, except for the very young ones, now has a monthly allowance and their lives are many times better than in previous years, she is still reluctant to spend her own money to buy festive snacks for the old couple.

"Of course, the old lady has always been kind-hearted and generous, otherwise, how could there be a fairy's enlightenment?"

Another gray-haired old lady asked timidly, "I wonder if the old lady will pray to the gods again at this Double Ninth Festival...party?"

As soon as she asked this question, everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Zhongjia, and their eyes were full of bright and fiery anticipation.

Su Zhongjia raised his chin slightly and said with a smile, "It's the Double Ninth Festival. The old lady was enlightened by the immortal, so of course she has to worship the immortal."

Not only these people are looking forward to it, doesn't she and her whole family also look forward to it?

Such a wonderful sight only takes less than an incense stick of time, so of course you want to see it as many times as possible.

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience suddenly let out gasps and cheers.

"Oh, that's great!"

"I was so stunned last time that I didn't bother to kowtow to the immortal a few more times!"

"Didn't you guys go up to Wuming Mountain and kowtow at the Suxian Temple later?"

"Then going to the temple is different from worshipping at that time!"

"My married sister-in-law, who usually doesn't come over once every six months, happened to hear someone tell her about the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, and she came to complain the next day, insisting that I didn't tell her about good news! Okay, I'll send someone to send a message to her family right now."

"Your eldest sister-in-law at least comes back twice a year, and she remembers to bring some things, not empty-handed. My younger sister-in-law is like water spilled after she got married. Not only does she come back once a year, but she also comes back empty-handed with two bunches of bananas and eats and drinks! I won't tell her this time!"

Su Zhong's wife listened to the laughter and waited until their voices died down before she laughed again, "Those two kids from the literacy class are going to perform on stage this time. The old lady said this is called "entertaining parents with colorful clothes", and it's all in the Book of Filial Piety!"

"The kids want to learn to dance, you are not allowed to stop them!"

Everyone was busy saying, "Don't stop us! If our child is chosen, it will be so glorious. Who would stop us? We are just afraid that he will not be chosen!"

Last time we performed on the stage, there was one team of girls and one team of boys.

But only a small number of students in a class can be selected, and most of the students are eliminated.

Those who were not selected were so jealous of those who were selected!

After Su Zhongjia finished talking to everyone, he turned around and walked back home.

No matter last time or this time, one of her grandchildren was selected.

The two little ones got all the gifts from the old lady.

Instead, the other grandchildren are jealous!

Hey, who made them miss out on the good times?

The old lady was really generous this time in order to get this colorful dance to entertain her parents.

We need to buy new clothes for each dancing doll!

The clothes were made of fine cotton silk. The girls wore red shirts, black skirts and black pants, while the boys wore blue shirts and black pants.

The materials are all ready. Aren’t the seamstresses in the old lady’s yard busy making them right now?

By then, the kids going on stage will all wear ordinary clothes. No matter how they dance, their neatness alone will be very good-looking!

Besides, the old lady has said that after the performance, the clothes will belong to everyone.

Not to mention that farmers might not be willing to make new clothes for their children during the New Year, and even if they did, the material would not be this good.

Even though her family was better off, she would only make a new coat for each of her children during the New Year. How could she be willing to make everything new?

At noon, in a corner of the front yard of Xinzhuang Courtyard, there were a dozen little girls learning to dance with the eldest maid Cailan.

These ten little girls have already participated in a performance last time. After going through this process from zero to one, and learning some slightly more difficult moves, they are not so restrained and timid anymore.

On the contrary, there are quite a few lively and courageous ones who can learn it quickly, which shows that they have some talent.

The eldest girl Cailan learned how to dance from the old lady.

It is called a dance, but in fact it is the Yangge dance.

For the aunties who perform square dance, Yangge is basically an entry-level dance style.

Taking into account the acceptance level of ordinary people at that time, Aunt Su thought it would be more appropriate to let the children learn the Yangge first, so she picked Cailan from among the maids because she was quick at learning the moves. Sure enough, this young girl not only learned quickly, but also looked really good when she danced!

When the aunts do square dancing, they are often criticized for disturbing others.

Some of them are indeed disturbing, and there is nothing wrong with you criticizing them.

Some people are not disturbing others, they just find a corner in the park, no one is bothering anyone, but they still criticize and ridicule them... Aren't they just disgusted that it's an old lady dancing? If it were a young girl, she would definitely not only not be disgusted, but also rush to praise it!

Aunt Su took Sister Shan to the side and watch the little girls rehearse.

Although we all had some difficulty in the beginning and couldn't tell the difference between things, we made progress as we practiced.

Aunt Su looked at it and nodded slightly.

Sister Shan was also watching with envy.

Although this show was only performed on the stage in the village, and although Shan Jie'er was the daughter of a concubine, she was also a noble lady of the Duke's Mansion. It's not that a noble lady cannot learn to dance, but she certainly cannot perform on the stage in a small village for people to see.

Aunt Su touched Shan Jie'er's head and asked in a low voice, "Shan Jie'er, do you want to dance too?"

Sister Shan shook her head.

It's that shaking of the head that's really contradictory to the envy in his eyes.

Aunt Su thought about Shan Jie'er's identity and decided not to cause trouble on purpose.

"Come, follow grandma to the inner courtyard."

Aunt Su took Shan Jie'er to the inner courtyard and found a secluded place.

"Sister Shan, are you willing to learn dancing from your grandmother?"

Sister Shan: "..."

Shan Jie'er had never seen Aunt Su teach the maid Cailan. She only saw her grandmother taking some time out every day to stretch her hands and feet and practice a set of health-preserving boxing techniques, but she didn't know that Aunt Su could also dance!

Moreover, the fact that an elder like my grandmother can dance is as surprising as golden pie falling from the sky!

"Sister Shan, what's that expression? Don't you believe it?"

"Your grandmother has been enlightened by the immortals and knows a lot!"

Aunt Su was originally a lively and outgoing person. When she was about to retire, she danced with her old sisters for a few years. Especially after retirement, she became more and more free-spirited. No matter when and where, she could dance happily.

For example, when everyone is out for fun, there is a problem on the road ahead and they are stuck in traffic.

Then everyone will be stuck in the car, how uncomfortable!

Why not come down to an open space on the side of the road, turn on the speakers, dance a few songs, and take a selfie?

Shan Jie'er was so shocked that her eyes widened.

What did she see?

My grandmother actually danced!

She had never seen her mother dance, but she actually saw her grandmother dancing!

And my grandmother's dancing seemed, really, pretty good!

She watched for about half a cup of tea, and suddenly she felt her hands and feet want to move unconsciously!

If Sister Shan knew that there was a word in the future called "magic", then what she was experiencing now was this kind of magical dance...

"Sister Shan, in this world, it's not easy for women. Unlike men, men can do things outside, but women can only stay at home. They can only go out occasionally to buy jewelry or burn incense in the temple."

"It's easy at my parents' home, but after I get married, the burden is heavy. I have to have children, take care of my parents-in-law, and manage the household."

"How can you carry such a heavy burden without a healthy body?"

"That's why we need to exercise more to make our bodies stronger."

After Aunt Su finished dancing, she tried to find the feeling of the past, then stopped and took the opportunity to teach her granddaughter.

Hearing this, Sister Shan nodded.

"Yes, so grandma does a set of health exercises every day."

She also learned this set of health-preserving exercises from her grandmother, and now she practices them every day!

Aunt Su also nodded.

"Yes, health exercises can only exercise the body, but this dance can not only exercise the body, but also cheer up the mood."

"For older people, a little dancing can make you look ten years younger."

"It's also very beneficial for young girls like you. It can help you develop a better posture and rhythm. Every move you make will be more beautiful!"

The little girl He Shan was brainwashed by her grandmother and was completely bewildered.

I learned to dance from my grandmother...

At night, Aunt Su showed off to Su Juanjuan.

"Look at you. I asked you to learn dancing from me, but you refused to learn. You stay at home every day, always sitting in front of the computer. It's so bad for your health!"

Su Juanjuan's mouth twitched, "No, your dance is not suitable for me to learn!"

It’s not that the moves are inappropriate, but the song that accompanies the dance is so magical!

"What's wrong with that? Look, isn't this little girl He Shan studying very well?"

It turns out that the little girl has a talent for dancing. She can master slightly difficult moves after learning them two or three times.

Su Juanjuan thought about the scene of Aunt Su, an ancient old lady, teaching an ancient little girl to dance square dance. She found it too beautiful and dared not think about it anymore.

"Well, well, isn't that great?"

"Mom, will your Chongyang Festival party include two dances, one martial arts, and finally a worship of the gods?"

Su Juanjuan quickly changed the subject.

"Yes."

Aunt Su’s Double Ninth Festival party is only at the village level, so naturally there can’t be too many programs.

In fact, even if you go to Tongcheng to hire a troupe of actors or a circus troupe, it won’t cost more than a few dozen taels of silver.

But Aunt Su is still in mourning. If she pays for the host, then it will be she, the widow, who will enjoy the pleasure.

And if the performances were only by children from the village, then it would be the villagers of Sujiazhuang celebrating the festival and would have little to do with Old Madam Su.

"Mom, are there any music for these two dances?"

When Su Heiya mentioned this, Aunt Su couldn't help but sigh.

If square dancing has no music, does it still have soul?

The last martial arts performance was accompanied by drums and flutes.

But nowadays, these two dances can no longer use common local tunes, they don’t match!

"What kind of music can we have? We can only have some drum accompaniment."

"Mom, what about the guy who plays the flute? Can't you teach him a new song? Just use the music you play in square dancing?"

Aunt Su scratched her head and said, "But I don't understand music theory either, so I can't teach him!"

"Mom, isn't this easy? Just play some music for him and he'll learn it, right? I've found the smallest speaker for you online, which is not much different from a cigarette lighter. Although the volume isn't very loud, it's enough for daily use. Mom, when you're really free and alone, you can also play some music!"

Aunt Su's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes. I've been so busy lately that I forgot the most important thing."

"Try to pass it to me now...ah, wait a minute!"

Su Juanjuan was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"You copied all the songs and dances that I use most often into that card!"

Su Juanjuan had no choice but to follow her mother's instructions and copy all the songs her mother often used.

Fortunately, when Su Juanjuan was using the new computer, she did not forget to copy everything from the old computer in the old house. Otherwise, it would take a while to get it done and she would have to go back to the old house again!
