Chapter Seventy-Five: The Nation Is Family
Fifty-six constellations and fifty-six flowers, fifty-six brothers and sisters are one family. Fifty-six languages are combined into one sentence, love me China, love me China, love me China, hey Luo Luo hey Luo Luo hey Luo Luo ......
There is still an hour before the theme activity of "Nation and Family" starts, but the Yanggang community is already full of festive atmosphere. In the large conference room, not only the cheerful "Love My China" was played, but also colorful ribbons were pulled on the ceiling, colorful balloons were hung, and even the chairs were full of small national flags.
Xu Dongmei, Zhang Yumin and other sisters took the initiative to work overtime, not only because small activities became big activities, but Secretary General Han couldn't be busy alone. And because whether these activities can be done well or not is directly related to whether other activities in the future can find people to participate.
Teacher Qian Li came very early and was sitting quietly in the library reading the host's speech.
The two teachers of the dance training downstairs are organizing the children to have their last rehearsal before the event.
The leaders did not arrive, nor did the ethnic minority compatriots, more than 20 parents who sent the children to the performance have come, some are taking pictures and posting them to Moments, some are spontaneously helping to distribute fruits, melon seeds and candies to the tables that have just been placed, and some parents are visiting the activity rooms of several associations and volunteer federations for the first time. When the event begins, they will be seated in the back rows as representatives of the Han and community groups.
Xu Dongmei poured a glass of water for Teacher Qian, ran into the equipment room of the large conference room, looked at Han Xiaowu who was sitting in front of the computer playing music and switching the background of the big screen, and snickered: "Secretary-General, I have thought of a good way, in the future, we will invite children to perform in any other activities!"
"Why?" Han Xiaowu asked.
"When the child comes, it is impossible for the parents not to come, and there will be no one here. Xu Dongmei glanced at the parents who were busy taking pictures of their children outside, and said happily: "They can not only come to help us be audiences, but even spontaneously help us publicize." Dance training institutions need such performance opportunities, and this kind of mutual benefit is something that I should have thought of a long time ago. ”
"Sister Xu, it's not that you didn't think of it before, but you didn't want to do it, and you didn't want to beg for people because of official errands. ”
"That's true, but not anymore. One event after another, and it never ends. Ask for help now, and don't worry about no one participating in the future. ”
Han Xiaowu didn't care about chatting with her, looked at his mobile phone and asked, "Sister Xu, there are many people who have not been to our community, has the director arranged for someone to pick them up downstairs?"
"The director went downstairs early, I went down, she had to go by herself, saying that she was waiting for the leader while picking up people, and Teacher Qian was sent by her. ”
"Where's Sister Li?"
"Sister Li has just arrived and is talking to Teacher Qian in the library. Xu Dongmei leaned over and looked at his mobile phone, and saw that Mr. Song from Anhai sent him a WeChat message, asking him to take a few more photos, so that he could help send the news when the time came, and couldn't help but smile: "Xiaowu, let Yajuan take pictures later." The level at which you took the photos is so bad that you simply can't look at it. ”
"Okay, no problem. Besides, today is different from yesterday, as long as you switch the monogram yesterday, today you not only have to switch the monogram, but also play music and video, I can't leave a step while sitting here, even if I want to shoot, I can't shoot. In the matter of taking pictures, Han Xiaowu is still very convinced of them. They chose a very good angle when taking pictures, not only did they look good, but they could even shoot more than a dozen people into dozens or even hundreds of people.
While chatting, Li Yajuan ran in and said that Xu Xie Lin had arrived with thirteen Yi compatriots.
Han Xiaowu hurriedly got up and said hello to the teacher who was directing the rehearsal, and went out to greet him.
When I walked out of the large conference room, I almost didn't recognize it, Xu Xie Lin and her fellow villagers all changed into national costumes, and Zhang Lili, who sent them upstairs, was pulling them to take pictures with Li Ling and Zhang Yumin.
"Brother Han, you're not late, are you?" asked Xu Xie Lin with a bit of shyness.
"No, no," Han Xiaowu relieved herself, and while raising her hand to greet her fellow villagers, she sincerely admired: "Linlin, you guys are so beautiful in this outfit!"
"Brother Han, Director Zhang made fun of me, and you laughed at me too. ”
"It's not a joke, it's beautiful. Tomorrow I'm going to the pan study room to participate in the event, and I'm wearing it like this, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"I'll go with you tomorrow, come and sit in first, there is a seat card on the table, find your name. ”
"Thank you, Brother Han. ”
As soon as Xu Xie Lin and others were welcomed into the conference room, the boss of the ramen shop downstairs came up with his wife and children, and Han Xiaowu hurriedly received them. Immediately afterwards, two Miao compatriots and a Tujia compatriot who had just been discovered a few days ago arrived, and they were also warmly received.
Secretary Zhou of the street and Xie Liwen, a member of the United Front Work Committee who is also the deputy director of the Party and Mass Bureau of the street, came very early, but after arriving, they did not rush upstairs, but waited for Minister Ye downstairs with Wang Xiaoqin, the secretary of the community.
At 1:45, Minister Ye, Deputy Director Zhang of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Section Chief Xu Xuesong and others arrived, and went upstairs with Secretary Zhou, who had been waiting for a long time, and Han Xiaowu hurriedly greeted them to introduce them to the ethnic minority compatriots who participated in the event.
At two o'clock, the event officially began.
Han Xiaowu returned to the equipment room and became the chief director, sound engineer and lighting engineer.
Mr. Qian walked on the stage and introduced the leaders who participated in the event in a frustrated manner, and with bursts of warm applause, the leaders got up and bowed. Introducing the ethnic minority compatriots who participated in the event, Boss Ma and Xu Xie Lin also learned from the leaders to get up and bow in greeting.
Sister Li, vice chairman of the Singers Association, performed the first program, and then under the affectionate recitation of Teacher Qian, a short video of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Religious Affairs Bureau uniting and caring for ethnic minority compatriots was played.
If he hadn't carried out this activity, Han Xiaowu really didn't know that there were more than 3,000 ethnic minority compatriots in Quan'anhai, most of whom were married. The earliest can be traced back to a few decades ago, when the locals who married ethnic minority compatriots did not have very good family conditions, and some of them were not even married by the Ming media, but secretly spent money to buy them back.
Until now, the financial situation of some families is still not very good.
The Bureau of Religious Affairs and Religion will visit every year, and the condolences mainly come from the Fangtian Benevolence Foundation and the Benevolence Merit Association of the Municipal Buddhist Association. At the same time, it organizes and coordinates various sub-districts, townships, villages, and other units to provide paired assistance to relatively poor ethnic minority families.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiaoqin was invited to the stage to introduce the work of the community.
A program was interspersed with a leader's speech, or interspersed with interviews with ethnic minority compatriots, talking about their hometowns, talking about their feelings about working and living in Anhai, and with bursts of warm applause, two and a half hours passed unconsciously.
The Yi, Miao and Tujia compatriots are good at singing and dancing, and have already participated in a rehearsal of the United Front Work Department in the Pan Study Room, and they sing very well. At the same time, I felt the organization's concern for them, and I really had a sense of belonging to the Yanggang community and even Anhai.
The children were more adorable than the other, and the dances performed were the most popular; the speeches of Minister Ye, Director Zhang and Secretary Zhou were short but sincere; the dance training institutions organized the students to participate in the official performances; and the parents took photos of the children's performances...... Everyone is happy, and the event is a complete success!
After taking a group photo, Xu Xielin, who is not only a minority compatriot who participated in the event, but also a volunteer of Jianghai, did not rush to leave, but beckoned her brothers and sisters to clean up the venue with Xu Dongmei and others.
Han Xiaowu knew that she had several brothers and sisters who had come on leave, so she walked over and pulled her aside: "Linlin, don't cook tonight, go back and change your clothes and go to the opposite side to eat hot pot together, I have already booked the box." ”
"Brother Han, don't be so polite. ”
"It's not polite, it's due, that's it. ”
"I really don't need to, Xiao Mi is still waiting for me to change shifts!"
"Xiao Mi is okay over there, I'll call her, and how long will it take to have a meal?"
......
At the same time, Chu Chanjuan was hesitating, and felt that she should find an opportunity to help Liu Zhiwei explain to Han Xiaowu and clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible.
It wasn't until Minister Ye and other leaders entered the elevator that she excused herself to get something and returned to the large conference room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the conference room, he saw Han Xiaowu whispering to the beautiful and innocent Yi girl in the corner.
She subconsciously stopped, and immediately pretended not to see anything, turned her head and ran back to the elevator: "Director Zhang, wait for me, I'll go down too!"
