As night fell, the two walked side by side on the way home, the moonlight shining on them, giving them a layer of silver glow.
Shen Qiqi suddenly stopped, looked at Lu Qing, and said mysteriously: "Lu Qing..."
As soon as Shen Qiqi finished speaking, the joy on her face was instantly covered by a cloud of worry.
She counted on her fingers and muttered, "I have enough wood and cloth, but I still need a lot of carving knives and high-quality pigments for fine carving, as well as some special dyes and embroidery threads... What should I do?" She frowned, as if she was solving an unsolvable math problem. Her confused look seemed as if there was a dark cloud above her head.
Lu Qing looked at her, took her into his arms lovingly, patted her back gently, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll help you find a solution." His eyes were focused, as calm as a pool of deep water, giving her silent support.
The two of them sat side by side at the entrance of the village committee. The setting sun stretched their shadows out, like two big trees leaning closely together, and the air around them was condensed into a sense of tranquility.
"I got it!" Shen Qiqi slapped her thigh suddenly and jumped up excitedly, like a lit firecracker, "We can do a 'barter'! The wood carvings and embroidery made in our village are all amazing! We can exchange them with other villages for their scarce supplies. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into crescents. All the clouds of worry disappeared into the sky, as if a small motor had been injected with chicken blood and started firing at full speed again.
Looking at her impetuous appearance, Lu Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. As expected, she had the magical power to turn decay into magic.
He picked her up and spun her around twice, "Qiqi, you are such a little genius!" An excited atmosphere filled the air between the two of them, and the air was filled with a sweet smell, so sweet that it was cloying.
"That's right! Don't you see who I am?" Shen Qiqi raised her chin proudly, her little face full of pride, like a proud little peacock, with her tail almost reaching the sky.
She acted immediately and rushed out of the village committee with Lu Qing, taking the village's "artworks" with her and embarking on a "material exchange journey".
After a heated debate, oh no, a friendly exchange, Shen Qiqi successfully exchanged for a large number of scarce supplies.
Looking at the mountains of carving knives, pigments, dyes and embroidery threads, Shen Qiqi jumped for joy, like a child who got candy, cheering, "Yeah! Done!" She hugged Lu Qing's arm excitedly, the smile on her face as bright as a blooming flower, and her whole body was filled with youthful vitality.
"Well, Qiqi, you are so awesome!" Lu Qing touched her head lovingly, his eyes so gentle that tears could drip out of them. Looking at her smile, his heart almost melted.
"That's right, don't you see who I am!" Shen Qiqi started to show off again, but this time, she had a little girl's shyness and a sweet smile on her lips.
She suddenly stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Lu Qing's ear, and said mysteriously: "Lu Qing, guess..."
Cultural heritage activities are in full swing, and the village is suddenly as lively as the New Year!
More than 30% of young people participated and learned from the veteran artists very seriously.
The "click-click" sound of wood carving, the "swish" sound of embroidery, and the innocent laughter of children come together to form a beautiful symphony that resounds throughout the village. It is the voice of inheritance and the melody of hope!
The five veteran artists also put in their best efforts and used all their unique skills, fearing that they would be a step behind and fail to pass on their skills.
Looking at the eager eyes of these young people, the veteran artists were moved to tears, and the flame of inheritance in their hearts burned even brighter!
The event was very popular and the funds were increasing rapidly.
In just a few days, we raised more than 500 yuan!
This was a huge sum of money at the time!
Shen Qiqi looked at the numbers in the account book and was so excited that tears were about to burst out. She rushed up and hugged Lu Qing, jumping and dancing like a child who had received candy, wishing to share all her joy with him.
Her heart was overflowing with happiness. This feeling was even more exciting than winning the lottery!
Lu Qing was also infected by her, and hugged her in his arms, and the two hugged and cried.
At this moment, all the hard work is worth it!
The whole village was infected by this joyful atmosphere, and everyone sang and danced to celebrate the success of cultural inheritance.
Laughter, singing, and cheers intertwined into a sea of joy, and the happiness was about to overflow!
Just when everyone was immersed in joy, Shen Qiqi suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside. The sound "dong dong dong" beat against her heart, as if foreshadowing that something new was about to happen.
She looked towards the door in confusion, her brows slightly furrowed, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if some secret was about to be revealed.
Lu Qing also heard the gongs and drums, and he frowned.
"There seems to be some movement outside!" Shen Qiqi's eyes flashed, and she pulled Lu Qing out.
