Today is International Women's Day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In Meixi Village in March, spring flowers are blooming and warm.

On the outer wall in front of the office building of the village committee of Meixi Village, a large banner with white characters on a red background is hung, which is particularly dazzling under the sunlight. It reads: Warmly celebrate the International Women's Day on March 8.

Colorful flags are flying, balloons are in the sky, people are boiling, and the atmosphere is unprecedentedly high. Before the festivities begin, a short general meeting is held here in the village.

On both sides of the podium of the conference, there were piles of various gifts and prizes, large and small, which were ready to be distributed or awarded to the villagers who participated in the event or competition. Daily necessities and food include toothpaste, laundry detergent, umbrellas, candies, biscuits, mustard, chili sauce, etc., which are gifts that every participant can receive; There are also boxes of large items, stacked like small mountains, which are prizes, which can only be owned by the warriors who have to participate in the competition and win the championship and runner-up.

Such a warm scene and such a rich gift are unprecedented for Meixi Village to celebrate the "March 8" International Labor Women's Day, which not only attracts all the women in the village, but also attracts the whole village, young and old. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the gifts and prizes, and they all wanted the celebration to start immediately, and then take home the gifts and prizes in large bags.

Since most of the teachers in the village primary school are women, the children also took a half-day holiday thanks to the female teachers, which added a lively atmosphere to the village's Women's Day.

Huang Daniu looked at the watch in his hand, it was already half past two in the afternoon, he looked up again, and the whole village of men, women and children were also gathered in front of the office building of the village committee. He motioned to Zhou Yafang to celebrate the start of the meeting. I saw Zhou Yafang standing in the middle of the podium and said into the microphone: "Everyone, please be quiet, the next celebration meeting is about to begin!" ā€

The scene was silent.

Zhou Yafang said: "Fellow villagers, today is the 'March 8' International Women's Day, here, on behalf of the two village committees, I would like to extend holiday greetings to the sisters of the whole village!" Happy Holidays to my sisters! ā€

Zhou Yafang paused when she said this, and there was sporadic applause below, and then there was a burst of laughter, after all, such meetings are rarely held, and Zhou Yafang's host was also a little timid, speaking with an obvious trill, some of the people were sweating for her, and some were laughing at her!

However, then Zhou Yafang became calm, because Hua Qiangqiang was secretly cheering for her, Hua Qiangqiang whispered beside her: "Yes, very fluent, it would be better to be calm." ā€

Zhou Yafang did not take the manuscript, she continued: "All along, the women of Meixi Village have lived happily and worked diligently under the care and leadership of the superior leaders and village leaders, and have made great contributions to the society, the village and the family. After the careful evaluation of the villager representatives of our Meixi Village, a group of advanced individuals and five good families were selected, and now we invite Secretary Hua Qiangqiang and Director Huang Daniu to award certificates and prizes to these advanced individuals and five good families, everyone applauds and welcomes! ā€

At this moment, thunderous applause rang out below.

The conference gave special praise and rewards to Lin Yuxinshe's deeds of saving people and Zhou Yafang's traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young for ten years.

After the meeting, the village immediately organized amusement activities, because the population of Meixi Village is small, and most of the men go out to work, in order to increase the warm atmosphere, the village decided to carry out the activities one by one, and the judges and judges are all old comrades who have served as branch secretaries and directors in Meixi Village.

The first activity to be carried out is to guess riddles. On the left wall of the village committee office building, there are all kinds of riddles written on them, and anyone can tear them down and take them to the judges to tell the answer to the riddle, and if you are right, you will be rewarded with an umbrella or a bottle of chili sauce, or if you are wrong, you can also get a toothpaste or a small packet of biscuits.

The activity of guessing riddles is the most participated in by the most people, because there is no age limit, and the riddles are not very difficult to guess, they are all familiar and easy to understand, close to the content of life, there are typing a word and an object, or a person's name and a place name. Guess correctly is naturally happy, and guess wrong also makes people laugh and hurt their belly, which is really interesting and happy.

But the next activity is not so easy for the contestants, that is, the singing competition, which not only requires literacy and hyphenation, and musical cells, but also has a good voice and good singing.

There are two platforms for the mountain song, one on the left side and one on the right side in front of the village committee office building. There are no restrictions on the number of contestants, as long as you feel that you can sing, you can go on stage and sing at any time, but the requirements are in the form of a dialogue, just like the form of the movie "Liu Sanjie".

Lin Yuxin's legs are still recovering, and she was pushed out by her husband Mo Sen in a chicken bus to participate in the competition. She couldn't get on the stage, so she sat next to the platform, and she cleared her throat and was the first to sing loudly: "Hey...... Mountain songs don't sing sorrows, sing mountain songs and enjoy it! There is no tiger in the mountains, and the lion is called the king...... Zhang Yanxia, the king of mountain songs, didn't dare to come, today I, Lin Yuxin, will take the first place! ā€

A male villager on the opposite side was provoked to stand up and sang: "I see that you just want to come and talk about it today, don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, you can show it quickly, but we are waiting with our ears pricked up!" Wait! ā€

Lin Yuxin pursed her lips, raised her face, and then opened her throat and sang loudly: "The village chief Niu is really tall, and he gives up his small family to take care of everyone; The village chief of Niu is so brave, and everyone praises him for eliminating harm for the people; The village chief Niu has the foresight to build Meixi Tourist Village, we must follow him and follow him! Sing the village chief and sing the secretary, who said that the women in the city are very squeamish, the strong secretary is amazing, live in the cottage in the countryside, eat and live with the people, the village chief Niu has her, like a tiger with wings to show his power! Show your power! ā€

As soon as Lin Yuxin finished singing, the onlookers applauded. However, a man stood up and jumped on the stage corresponding to Lin Yuxin, only to see him with a strange expression, then cleared his throat and sang: "I said that Ms. Yuxin is amazing, she saved the calf and felt the world, and we all admire you!" You shouldn't fool people with some old songs, who can't sing the songs of the secretary and village chief, we will listen to new songs if we want to listen today! New Song! ā€

Lin Yuxin was blocked so that she couldn't come up for a while, she stuck out her tongue, looking left and right to find reinforcements. Seeing this, Chun Tao hurriedly stepped forward, because her husband went to Guangdong to work, she couldn't participate in the chicken bus to pick up the bride competition, she could only participate in the song competition, she was holding back her strength to practice for several days, today is going to show it, I saw her smile triumphantly, and then sang to the man: "If you want to sing, you can sing, you want to pick flowers and go up the hill, the big brother on the opposite side is not disgusted, Chun Tao's new song is a big basket, may I ask the eldest brother to listen to which one, hurry up and don't be idle!" Don't be idle! ā€

The man was happy, his eyes glanced at Chun Tao with a strange yin and yang look, and sang: "Chun Tao's sister is as beautiful as a fairy, she should find a boss to be her husband, why did she marry into Meixi Village, not afraid of being tired and bending over from the work in the mountains?" Not afraid that the mosquitoes here will bite you? Hey...... Could it be that you have been deceived or that you have many faults? Lots of problems? ā€

There was a burst of laughter from the onlookers.

"Whew!" Chun Tao was so angry that her face turned red and she couldn't deal with it, but she scolded in her heart: "Bastard, if you don't play cards according to the routine, you have a lot of problems!" ā€

At this time, a sweet and euphemistic singing voice floated from another direction, it was Zhou Yafang's voice.

"Brother asked very strangely, love is not about poverty and wealth, don't sing vulgar and boring tunes, don't let time go to waste!"

Taking advantage of Zhou Yafang's help to relieve the siege, an aunt hurriedly nodded in Chun Tao's ear, Chun Tao suddenly opened her mind, and the song was like a thin mountain spring gushing out, and she loudly lit up her sweet and crisp singing voice, singing: "Only with tricks can I be sick, I can give birth to children and support the elderly, go out early and return late to do the work, do not wait or rely on to run the family, working women are the healthiest!" ā€

The man sang again: "It's really lonely to stay at home, and it's even more lonely for my husband to go out. ā€

Chun Tao sang and replied: "Loyalty and love are like a rock, the ends of the earth are far away, as long as Lang Jun does not want to move, his wife can stick to the wilderness!" ā€

Man A had nothing to say, he scratched his ears and lowered his head. The villagers watching in the audience all whispered to each other and praised Chun Tao's song for being right, only Huang Fengchun became more and more uncomfortable listening to it, he wanted to slip away, but was dragged by Hu Meimei.

At this time, a man hobbled onto the stage, he was a little older, and since the young men were going out to work, they could only let these older people come to battle. The eyes of the villagers were fixed on him, and the scene was silent.

Otomo cleared his throat, and then sang with some regret and calmness: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, birds in the nest fly out, hey, some people just go into the ravines!" Spring peach girl, what kind of suffering did you marry into this poor ravine? Why? ā€

"Uncle Mo sighed, listen to what I said to you, Meixi is a good place, the mountains and rivers are good, and the people are better, which makes the phoenix yearn for it. The husband returned to his hometown in May, and since then the husband and wife have come to work in pairs, thanking the government and the party, as well as the strong secretary Niu Village Chief, and living happily for a long time! 10,000 years long! ā€

Chun Tao's singing voice was full of affection and expectation, and she sang to the heart of the big guy, and as soon as she finished singing, she aroused warm applause from the audience.

The mountain song competition lasted for more than an hour, and after the judges evaluated and discussed, they finally thought that Li Chuntao's singing voice was sweet and bright, the content was novel and advancing with the times, and he also sang with emotion, and was given the title of champion.

Then came the final competition, which was the most exciting and intense one: the chicken bus to pick up the bride.

The chicken bus picks up the bride contest in a large open space next to the neem tree, where six white runways more than two meters wide have been carved out of lime, and the villagers have all run there to watch.

Since most of the young men in the village went out to work, the older men were afraid to compete for fear of not being able to compete with the younger ones, so in the end only five couples dared to stand on the playing field.

Seeing that there was still a runway empty on the field, someone proposed to let the village chief of Huang Daniu also go into battle, Huang Daniu said, I don't even have a daughter-in-law, how can I compete!

Some people said that Zhou Yafang should be her daughter-in-law, but several pairs of villagers who participated in the competition disagreed, on the grounds that Zhou Yafang was too small and exquisite, and she was not Huang Daniu's daughter-in-law. They said that if the village chief did this, we would replace it with a woman who was thinner than his daughter-in-law. Seeing that everyone was arguing, Hua Qiang was happy, because this was in her arms, she had already invited He Cuigu to participate in the event in advance, Hua Qiangqiang wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile Huang Daniu and He Cuigu, so he said: "Folks, I have a suggestion, let He Cuigu be the bride, and the village chief Niu will pick her up." ā€

The judges were a little hesitant at this meeting, and Da Niu's mother stood up and said: "He Cuigu was originally Huang Da Niu's daughter-in-law, and now that they haven't married one of them, why can't they participate in the competition!" ā€

The contestants secretly thought that this He Cuigu was so fat, even if Huang Daniu brought her to the competition, it would be impossible to win the championship, so they agreed to participate in the competition.

Since the contestants have no opinion, the judges are no longer serious, and they all acquiesce.

But He Cuigu was a little awkward, she blushed and didn't say anything.

At this time, Huang Da Niu pushed the chicken cart from home, and then waved to He Cuigu and shouted, "the cow, get in the car." ā€

He Cuigu was happy, ran to the field, and got on the chicken bus.
