Things about village flowers

Before seven o'clock, the small square of the brigade headquarters was brightly lit and crowded with people. The village had never been so lively. The small square, the surrounding roads, and even the nearby walls were crowded with people, and there were many people climbing on the trees. , a rough estimate, more than 2,000 people, which is unprecedented for a small mountain village with only 500 or 600 people. It can no longer be accommodated in such a big place. Most of the people who come are from other villages, and almost no one in the village There were more people coming out than watching an outdoor movie. The hot scene tonight is the first time in the history of my hometown.

On the stage, searchlights were hung high, illuminating the purple-red curtain and the yellow paper banner with the words"Zhaozhuang Spring Festival Gala", which was quite impressive. The audience leaned their heads and stared at the curtain, trying to see where they could go. It was difficult for them to have clairvoyant eyes, and their expectant eyes became more and more intense.

At five minutes to seven-thirty, Uncle Zhao fiddled with the opening cloth and stepped out from the middle. His movements were extremely fast, like a stupid boy. He stood in front of the microphone and adjusted it slightly. In fact, there was no need to adjust it at all. , probably to relieve the excitement at this moment. After all, it was the first time for him to face so many people in front of his home. He thought to himself, this is more grand than a commune meeting, not to mention Secretary Xia and other communes sitting under the stage. Leaders and many commune cadres and their families must behave even more carefully.

Uncle Zhao raised his hand and wiped the shiny little part of his hair that was illuminated by the searchlight (today, he specially used a comb to comb his hair into separate parts and applied a lot of hair oil. Usually his hair is messy, like a chicken coop). The folds on his face were filled with smiles. His endocrine system was particularly strong today.

After adjusting the microphone, Uncle Zhao deliberately bowed and nodded to Secretary Xia and other commune leaders who were sitting in the middle of the front row of the audience. Then he coughed twice, his mouth almost touching the microphone, and made the opening remarks:

"Dear commune leaders, young and old men, girls and wives, I would like to wish you all a happy old age (after saying this, I took the lead in applauding, and the audience immediately burst into deafening applause and cheers)! The warmest welcome to everyone to come to our village to watch the performance. Originally, I didn’t want to show up in public and let everyone see my old face and make fun of others (everyone laughed) No, it’s a waste of time. I can see the performance directly, but Secretary Xia insisted on letting me say a few words before the performance. Fortunately, I am thick-skinned and not afraid. Speech (everyone burst into laughter again), if you listen with one ear, then you can pretend you didn’t hear it (everyone burst into laughter)"

"Hey, I said, Lao Zhao, stop making fun of me, okay? It’s time to get to the point!"At this time, Secretary Xia waved his hand to Uncle Zhao and said loudly

"oh."Uncle Zhao nodded to Secretary Xia and continued,"Tonight's performance is the first time in the history of Zhaozhuang, but it is the first time for a big girl to sit in a sedan chair, haha. Thanks to Secretary Xia's strong support, the help of famous actors in the county, as well as everyone's support, and the strong support of the folks, I believe the performance will be wonderful, and I wish the performance a success! Okay, that’s all I’m going to say. It’ll be annoying to say it again."After that, Uncle Zhao bowed deeply to the audience, then walked to the edge of the stage, looked towards the audience, and actually made a move to jump off.

Amid everyone's warm applause, Uncle Zhao really jumped off the stage. It was really fierce. The stage was more than one meter high. Before he could stand firmly, Secretary Xia stepped forward and pulled him to sit next to him.

At this time, the stage was filled with gongs and drums, and the performance was about to begin. A minute later, the gongs and drums started. Pause. Amid everyone's eager anticipation, Ling Liping pulled back the curtain and made her debut. Tonight she was both an announcer and an actress. She was dressed like a village girl in a colorful headscarf and colorful clothes. She was very down-to-earth. Everyone applauded and cheered vigorously. When I think of becoming a city dweller, I still maintain the simplicity of a country girl, but my face has become whiter and more delicate, my eyes have become more sparkling and expressive, and the village flower who was once famous in villages and towns has become more dazzling. Got it

"Zhaozhuang Spring Festival Gala Performance starts now!"Ling Liping looked around the audience affectionately. When the scene gradually became quiet, she leaned closer to the microphone and raised her sharp voice to announce the start of the performance.

"The first program, the Yangko dance"Happily Celebrate the New Year", was performed by the entire cast of Zhaozhuang, with musical accompaniment by the Zhaozhuang folk band."After the curtain call, Ling Liping stepped back behind the scenes. The cheerful and rhythmic suonas and gongs and drums sounded immediately behind the scenes. The curtain slowly opened. Good guys, there were thirty or forty people, men, women and children on the stage. Ling Liping took the lead. Everyone shook their heads and danced to the drumbeats. Wearing red silk satin, she twisted her waist and hips back and forth in circles. It was very organized. The older she got, the more energetic she became, and she looked more stylish. My younger sister and I also participated, and the worst one was following Ling Liping. No wonder, we had just learned it, but we both had the loudest voices, were particularly energetic, and kept shouting, which attracted attention. In short, there was a joyous scene and atmosphere on the stage. Unexpectedly, there were many spectators including Secretary Xia and other commune officials. The cadres and their families soon started to rejoice along with the performance on the stage. The interaction between the stage and the audience was very lively for a while.

"This is called joy for all!"I couldn't help but shout loudly to Secretary Xia who was looking at me in the audience. Who would have thought that I would trip over myself just after shouting. It's all because I twisted too crazily and lost my pace. What's even more embarrassing is that right there... The moment I was about to fall, I subconsciously grabbed Bai Liping's skirt next to me and pulled her down on me, actually lying on my back.

Seeing this, everyone on and off the stage burst into laughter and were completely shocked. It disrupted the rhythm of the performance on the stage and caused chaos.

Ling Liping and I hurriedly got up, feeling that our faces were burning like fire.

Then, Uncle Zhao and Secretary Xia tried their best to stabilize the scene, and the performance continued with endless excitement.

The dance performance of Ling Liping and her sister was the most eye-catching. However, what caused the biggest sensation was the somersault performed by Secretary Xia and I on the same stage. The coordination was tacit, difficult, fast, and dazzling. It was as exciting as watching acrobatics.

Because The show was so exciting and the atmosphere was so lively that the performance, which was originally planned to be a short one, lasted for more than two hours intermittently. The performance was quite successful and everyone was very satisfied and asked to continue the performance next year.
