Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info she plans to talk to Director Huang Daniu first, and then convene a meeting of party members and cadres to listen to everyone's opinions.

Secretary Hua Qiangqiang's suggestion was quickly approved and supported by Director Huang Daniu. He said with great affection: "All the women in Meixi Village are hardworking and kind models, especially those left-behind women whose husbands work outside the home all the year round, they are the backbone of the family and should be respected and encouraged." It is a must to celebrate this great occasion with an event for them, and it is our responsibility to make it a success, without the slightest ambiguity. I decided to allocate some of the funds from the village to prepare for this celebration, and to do what to do. As for the form in which the activities should be carried out, the specific methods and the division of labor, we have to hold a team meeting to listen to everyone's opinions. ”

Secretary Hua Qiangqiang said happily: "I think so too. ”

At the village team meeting, everyone spoke very enthusiastically and put forward their valuable opinions, and finally the following were adopted:

On the afternoon of Women's Day, the whole village had a half-day holiday and stopped all production and labor.

2. Anyone who participates in the festival can receive a small gift.

The content of the three competition items includes: guessing riddles, singing to the mountain, picking up the bride by chicken bus, etc.

Fourth, those who participate in the event competition, the higher the ranking, the more valuable the gifts.

The next day, the village's decision was posted on a billboard in front of the village committee's office building on two pieces of red paper, along with detailed requirements and rules for activities and games.

This incident spread like great news in the village, and everyone in the villagers was smiling and happy, and at the same time they were in a solemn mood, because everyone wanted to fight for the first place. No, after labor, some people are practicing their voices and singing mountain songs; Someone was panting and picking up a chicken bus, hitching a ride in front of the door. The whole village was filled with the atmosphere of the eve of the war, with tension, excitement, and more confidence and joy.

Look, this Mo Shen and his wife Lin Yuxin are doing pre-war drills in front of their house.

"Mo Shen, help me push out the chicken bus in the firewood room and take a look." Lin Yuxin sat at the door, bathing in the spring sun, and called out to her husband.

Mo Shen looked at his wife suspiciously and asked, "Yuxin, look at you, you just came out of the hospital, and the seat is not warm, why do you want to get on the broken chicken bus and come out, what are you doing to see it?" ”

"Oh, Mo Shen, I'll push it out if you want to push it out, I want to see if it's okay?" Lin Yuxin said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I'll push it for you!" Mo Shen couldn't help but his wife agreed.

The chicken bus is the main and ancient means of transportation in Meixi Village, especially suitable for walking mountain roads. It has only one wheel, which is placed in the center of the front of the car. Behind the cart are two handles, which are used for carts, and there are feet under the handles, which will play a role in balancing and supporting the cart once the cart person needs to rest. The body is a flat surface made up of several wooden planks that are used to carry objects. Don't look at the structure of this chicken bus is simple, but the work is much lighter than picking, back and other labor methods, loading two or three hundred pounds of materials on the flat road a person can push it can walk quickly and easily, when encountering uphill or potholes, the front of the car can also be tied to a rope, let a person pull in front, to the back of the cart people to help the force.

Mo Shen had already pushed the chicken cart in front of his wife at this time. Although Lin Yuxin can stand up with her legs and feet, she can't use force yet, she can only sit and look at the chicken bus, she watched the chicken bus be placed smoothly, and the board plane and square handles on the body are all smooth and clean, and said happily: "Although this car has not been used for a long time, it has not been bitten by insects!" Mo Shen, grab it and take a look around for me, see if this wheel is okay? ”

Mo Shen obediently grabbed the handle of the chicken bus and spun around Lin Yuxin, and the wheels of the chicken bus made an even and crisp squeak.

"Hahaha, this car can still be used!" Lin Yuxin said excitedly.

Mo Shen stopped, and said with a questioning look: "What can you use, what do you want to push?" ”

"Push me!" Lin Yuxin replied.

"Push you? Pushing you with a chicken cart? Hey, you dare to sit too, not afraid of other people's jokes? Mo Shen asked.

"As long as you dare to push, I dare to sit, who dares to laugh at me!" Lin Yuxin pursed her lips and said stubbornly.

"Where are you going?" Mo Shen asked.

"I said, you person, why are you so lonely and unheard, didn't the village say that it was going to hold a celebration of Women's Day, isn't there a game competition called chicken bus to pick up the bride in this event, and I will also participate." Lin Yuxin said.

"Oh, I'm so lonely, I've heard about it! But you can't participate in this activity, haven't you heard from the doctor, although you are discharged from the hospital, your leg still needs a long time to recuperate. You said that I haven't pushed this chicken bus for nearly ten years, I don't know if I can control it well, the balance of the chicken bus is poor, what if you accidentally roll over and knock you down, causing your leg to be injured twice? That's unacceptable! Mo Shen said worriedly.

"Tsk, I said why are you so useless, this chicken bus is a tank and plane, why can't you control it? Give me practice now, as long as you're not a fool, I'll guarantee you less than two hours, and you'll be able to master it and return to the level you had ten years ago! You don't have to worry about my legs, I will protect myself. Lin Yuxin said lightly.

Mo Shen frowned, and said: "Yuxin, why are you so willful, don't participate in the chicken bus to pick up the bride, you can also participate in other programs, such as the mountain song competition, this is your strength, because of Xu Decai's matter, I think that Zhang Yanxia, the king of mountain songs, must have no face to come out and slip her throat, this champion is none other than you!" ”

"Even if Zhang Yanxia participated, I wasn't afraid of her, I was originally a lark in Meixi Village! Mo Shen, I have to participate in both the Song Contest and the Chicken Bus Bride Competition, which is a rare opportunity. I heard the village chief Niu say that the competition is carried out one by one, and those who can participate in multiple competitions, I just want to participate in all the competitions, even if I can't win the championship and can't get the prize, it's good to help add excitement to the excitement, the emphasis is on participation! ”

Lin Yuxin had no room for negotiation at all, and insisted on participating. Mo Shen looked at her both worried and admired, worried about her legs, admired her courage, she always dared to challenge and dare to face, this is a positive attitude to life, it is worth learning from yourself! He ran back to the house's miscellaneous room, put a bag of millet on the chicken bus, and said, "Yuxin practice now, don't sit in the car first, just use this bag of millet instead of you, and you will sit again when I am proficient." ”

"Okay! Start practicing. ”

Mo Shen grabbed the chicken bus and began to practice.

……

At Huang Fengchun's house, his new daughter-in-law, Hu Meimei, was also fiddling with her chicken bus at the door of her house.

Huang Fengchun asked on the side: "What do you think you are doing with this thing, you will use it?" ”

"In the spring, I can't sing mountain songs, but we also have to participate in the chicken bus to pick up the bride!" Hu Meimei said.

"Pull it down, I haven't used this car for ten years, I don't dare to participate in the race!" Huang Fengchun said dejectedly.

"Didn't Mo Shen not use this car for ten years, I was passing by his house just now and saw him practicing there. In the spring, I heard that the champion of the chicken bus bride competition can reward more than 300 yuan of smart rice cooker, we must go to participate! ”

"Pull it down, can we win the championship?" Huang Fengchun pouted and said.

"If you can't win the championship, it's okay to win the second and third place, and the second and third places also have gift rewards. Besides, if you can't get the ranking, the village said that as long as the participants have gifts! Hu Meimei said with interest.

"I'm going to the oil shop, I don't have time to play with that!"

"Isn't it just half a day's work, just once a year, can't you take half a day off?"

"I'm not going, I'm going to go by yourself!" Huang Fengchun thought about it and said very entangledly.

"The rules of this competition are for husbands and wives to cooperate, how can I go if you don't go?" Hu Meimei pouted.

"Anyway, I won't go anyway, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, you just go, what's the fun!" Huang Fengchun was already angry as he spoke.

Hu Meimei was puzzled and said: "Hey, why is it embarrassing, how can it be said that it is a fun, this is an event that everyone is qualified to participate in, and I am also a member of Meixi Village, although I have just been married!" ”

Hearing Hu Meimei say this, Huang Fengchun was even more angry, and he shouted loudly: "Don't make trouble, shut up for me!" ”

Feng Chun's mother, who was lying in the room, heard the quarrel between her son and daughter-in-law, and couldn't help but gasp and shouted: "What are you two arguing about, if you don't go, you won't go, what's the matter, if you are so noisy, do you want to be ashamed?" ”

Hu Meimei ran to her mother-in-law's room and asked unconvinced: "Mom, I really want to go, this is a happy and happy thing, why is it embarrassing?" ”

Feng Chun's mother hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Ah Mei, there is something I don't want to hide from you, Feng Chun said that it was a shame because Zhou Yafang, the women's director of the village, was his wife, this is Women's Day, and this show must be hosted by her, so how can he be embarrassed to go!" ”

Hu Meimei suddenly came to her senses, she remembered the last time she and Huang Fengchun argued, and Zhou Yafang's attitude when she came down to mediate, she couldn't help but say to herself: "No wonder she criticized Huang Fengchun like scolding her own family!" She thought again, this week Yafang, in fact, is a very good person, gentle and virtuous, why did Huang Fengchun divorce her? She wondered why.

Hu Meimei ran out and asked Huang Fengchun: "Huang Fengchun, you bastard, you dare to hide it from me!" ”

"What am I hiding from you?"

"Let me ask you, how did Zhou Yafang divorce you?"

"Isn't it because of you?"

Hu Meimei was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, you said that he said that he had divorced a long time ago before he came back with him, and now he blames himself, what kind of man is this, he didn't dare to take responsibility and shirk his responsibility, she was angry, and said: "Okay, Huang Fengchun, you not only deceived me, but now you regret marrying me, right?" To tell you the truth, as long as you release someone, I can leave at any time! ”

Huang Fengchun was a little timid, he thought, Zhou Yafang hated himself to death, Mei Mei was gone, and he couldn't chase Zhou Yafang back, and it would be a loss to be empty at that time, so he said: "Mei Mei, no matter what, didn't I divorce her, don't think about it so much, okay, now you are no longer my daughter-in-law." ”

Hu Meimei saw that Huang Fengchun showed a soft appearance, and she also began to have confidence, saying: "Since you treat me as a daughter-in-law, you have to listen to me!" On the day of the 38th Festival, accompany me to participate in the chicken bus competition, pick me up as a bride, and try my best to do it, strive to get the ranking, I want to fight for breath! ”

Huang Fengchun reluctantly grabbed the handle of the chicken bus, motioned for Hu Meimei to sit in the car, and began to practice.

Huang Fengchun panted and pushed the chicken bus in circles with a sad face, and Hu Meimei sat on it like a queen mother.

The villagers are intensively doing the pre-competition exercises, and the village cadres are also nervously preparing for the celebration of the International Women's Day, such as finding judges and judges, buying prizes and gifts, formulating and adjusting the rules of the competition, and selecting the venue for the competition and allocating staff.

Hua Qiangqiang said to Zhou Yafang: "Sister Yafang, you are the women's director of the village committee, you have to hold a meeting before the activity is launched, and then you will preside over the meeting, so prepare now!" ”

Zhou Yafang's eyes widened and shouted: "Ah, no, no, I'm stupid, how can I speak, let me do anything, just don't let me speak, I really don't have that eloquence, I'm afraid I'll make a big joke!" ”

Hua Qiang said seductively: "Don't have that eloquence? Alas, exercise now, Sister Avon, you are now a village leader! In fact, don't be eloquent, isn't it just a short speech at the opening ceremony of the conference, think about what those leaders say when they usually go to the town for a meeting, just learn it! But there is one important point, that is, courage, as long as you have courage, not afraid, you will be calm, and the words you say will not be incoherent but the head is the way, just like the last time you rang the bronze bell and spoke to the whole village, calm and loud. Be sure to overcome the tension and don't be afraid! ”

Zhou Yafang couldn't help blushing and said, "That will be forced out!" ”

Hua Qiangqiang encouraged: "In fact, miracles are often created by force, and the times create heroes!" ”

After listening to Secretary Qiangqiang's words, Zhou Yafang began to ponder the draft of the speech in her heart.
