A little girl with pigtails was squatting under a big banyan tree crying her heart out. Her tears were falling like pearls from a broken string, and her nose was covered with snot.
The children around stopped playing and gathered around her curiously, but did not dare to go forward to comfort her.
This little girl is Brother Lu’s daughter, and her nickname is Niuniu.
She cried so sadly because she heard that the village was going to hold a celebration and she really wanted to go on stage to perform, but her parents refused to agree, saying that it was not good for a girl to show herself in public.
Niu Niu felt very aggrieved. She had obviously practiced the dance thoroughly and was just waiting to show off her skills at the celebration!
Now that her dream is shattered, she feels the whole world has turned dark.
"Niuniu, what's wrong? Who bullied you?" Shen Qiqi heard the crying and hurried over, asking with concern.
When Niuniu saw Shen Qiqi, she cried even harder, hugged her legs, and told her grievances in a halting manner.
After listening to this, Shen Qiqi patted Niuniu's head gently and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, since you want to perform so much, auntie will help you talk to your uncle and auntie."
Shen Qiqi came to Brother Lu's house, and Brother Lu and his wife were arguing about this matter.
"If the child wants to perform, let her perform. It's no big deal!" Mrs. Lu felt sorry for her daughter, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"What do you know! How can a girl show herself in public?" Brother Lu stiffened his neck and showed a firm attitude.
"What era is this? Why are you still so old-fashioned and feudal?"
"I'm doing this for her own good!"
"you……"
The two of them were arguing with each other.
Seeing this, Shen Qiqi hurried forward and advised: "Brother, sister-in-law, stop arguing and listen to me."
When Brother Lu and his wife saw Shen Qiqi coming, they stopped arguing and looked at her with confusion.
"Brother, this is not the old society anymore. Girls can also hold up half the sky. Niuniu wants to perform, which shows that she has talent in this area. We should support her and let her show her talent." Shen Qiqi persuaded patiently, her tone gentle but firm.
"But..." Brother Lu was still a little hesitant.
"Brother, think about it, this celebration is a big event for our village. If Niuniu's performance can bring joy to everyone, it will also be a contribution to the village!" Shen Qiqi continued to persuade, "Besides, Niuniu is practicing so hard, we can't discourage her enthusiasm!"
After listening to this, Brother Lu pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, Qiqi, I'll listen to you."
"Yeah!" Niuniu burst into laughter as soon as she heard it. She jumped up happily and hugged Shen Qiqi, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Seeing Niuniu's happy look, Shen Qiqi also showed a relieved smile.
She knew that this celebration would be very lively.
"Qiqi, you're amazing! You even convinced my eldest brother." A warm voice came from behind...
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's eloquence and how she easily dealt with Brother Lu, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Qiqi, you are such a great negotiator! My brother's stubborn temper is something that even I can't handle, but you actually made him surrender with just a few words!" He gently hugged Shen Qiqi from behind, his tone full of doting.
Shen Qiqi was startled by his sudden hug, but then relaxed and leaned comfortably in his arms.
Lu Qing's hug was full of power, like a solid fortress, giving her a full sense of security.
The feeling of happiness flowed slowly in her heart like a warm current.
"Hehe, that's a must!" Shen Qiqi winked playfully, with a hint of pride in her tone, "Don't you see who I am! It's just a small matter, just sprinkle some water!"
Lu Qing was amused by her and gently pinched her nose: "You really know how to flatter yourself! But you did a really good job this time."
Shen Qiqi raised her head, looked into Lu Qing's deep eyes, and said softly, "This is all for our celebration! I hope this celebration can be lively and make everyone happy."
"Well, I know." Lu Qing stroked her hair gently, "I believe you can do it."
As night falls, the stars twinkle and the moonlight shines on the village, giving everything a silver glow.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing held hands and strolled along the country road. The breeze blew by, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.
"Qiqi, do you think this celebration will be successful?" Lu Qing suddenly stopped and looked at Shen Qiqi with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Although the problems of the villagers and partners have been temporarily resolved, whether the celebration can go smoothly on the day is still full of variables.
After all, this was their first time hosting such a large-scale event. They lacked experience and no one knew what accidents might happen.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, her eyes determined: "We will definitely succeed! We have made so many preparations. I believe that as long as we work together, no difficulties can stop us!"
"Yeah!" Lu Qing nodded heavily and held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, "I believe you!"
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light...
Shen Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
"Lu Qing! Get up! Today is a big day!"
