Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the alley on the side of the road and blocked their way.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing subconsciously stopped, and a sense of vigilance rose in their hearts.
“Qiqi, are you really going to do this?” The visitor was the village chief’s eldest son, Lu Jiang. He looked at Shen Qiqi in disbelief, his tone containing both sarcasm and a hint of curiosity.
Shen Qiqi smiled faintly, walked forward, patted Lu Jiang on the shoulder, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Brother, I know you have concerns in your heart, but this village cultural exhibition is not only for our village, but also for the surrounding villages. We want everyone to participate and witness this cultural feast together."
Lu Jiang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Shen Qiqi to approach him on her own initiative, and his tone softened a little: "You said it so lightly, how do we get them involved?"
"It's very simple," Shen Qiqi's eyes sparkled with wisdom, "We can invite them to participate in the event preparations in advance, instead of just inviting them on the day of the event. This way, everyone can feel the significance of the event better and it can better stimulate their enthusiasm."
Lu Jiang frowned, as if thinking about Shen Qiqi's words.
Suddenly, he smiled, a somewhat helpless smile: "Okay, Qiqi, your idea is really good. But how do you plan to convince them?"
"This depends on our joint efforts." Shen Qiqi turned and looked at Lu Qing, her eyes full of determination, "Lu Qing, let's go to the surrounding villages tomorrow and tell them our ideas."
Lu Qing nodded, holding Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, his eyes full of support: "Okay, let's work hard together!"
The next morning, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing braved the rising sun and set out on the road to the surrounding villages.
They visited each household, introduced each one, and patiently explained the significance of the village cultural exhibition.
Unexpectedly, this way of early participation was surprisingly popular.
"You guys are so thoughtful. Of course we are willing to participate!" An old man said with a smile and nodded happily.
"Our village also has many old items that can be exhibited!" another villager added excitedly.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other, their hearts filled with hope.
They knew that this cultural exhibition was no longer their own battle, but the common dream of a big family.
Looking at the enthusiastic scene of the surrounding villagers, Shen Qiqi was deeply moved.
She knew that this was a challenging road, but as long as everyone worked together, they would succeed.
The sun sets again, and Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing walk side by side on the way home.
Both of them had happy smiles on their faces, as if the whole world was cheering for them.
Suddenly, a mysterious voice came from behind, interrupting their thoughts:
"Qiqi, this event was a success. How do you plan to celebrate?"
Shen Qiqi turned around and saw Lu Jiang standing not far away with a smile on his face.
She smiled slightly, with a sly glint in her eyes:
"Of course, we're going to treat everyone to a big dinner to celebrate our victory!" She paused, her eyes determined as she spoke, "But this is just the beginning. Our village will get better and better."
Lu Jiang nodded, turned and left, leaving behind the afterglow of the sunset and full of hope.
"Boom!" The gongs and drums were loud, the firecrackers were blasting, and the village cultural exhibition, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year, finally opened grandly under the attention of everyone!
The old objects "see the light of day again", shining with the glory of history in the sun, as if telling stories of the past.
The old photos evoked everyone's memories and attracted everyone's admiration.
"These are the clothes I wore when I was a child!" "In this photo, my grandfather is still alive!" Exclamations and laughter came one after another, merging into a symphony of happiness.
The old actors in the village also took to the stage to perform and sang classic traditional operas. Their clear and melodious singing drew thunderous applause from the audience, which continued like a tide.
The children performed wonderful dances, each move full of youthful vitality.
Villagers from surrounding villages also flocked to Lujia Village like they were going to a market. They marveled at the profound cultural heritage of Lujia Village and praised it highly.
"I never thought this small village could hide so many treasures!" "This is real culture! We should learn from them!"
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood in the crowd, looking at the lively scene in front of them, their hearts filled with pride and emotion.
Shen Qiqi felt like a female general who had won a battle, full of strength.
"Hey, this feels so good!" She couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her heart.
Lu Qing even turned into a loyal dog, guarding Shen Qiqi closely, his eyes filled with love, as if saying: "My Qiqi is the best!"
On this day, Lujia Village became completely popular!
Its name, along with this cultural craze, spread throughout the area.
The villagers of Lujia Village were also completely proud and walked with confidence.
They proudly tell everyone: "Our village's culture is awesome!"
The evening breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.
After the hustle and bustle, Lujia Village seemed to calm down, but the rich cultural atmosphere still lingered in the air for a long time.
Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing sat side by side, looking up at the starry sky.
"Qiqi, we succeeded!" There was a hint of excitement in Lu Qing's voice.
Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, but her eyes were extremely firm: "This is just the beginning."
She stretched, stood up from the ground, dusted herself off, and said firmly, "The road to the revival of folk culture is still long!"
She turned and walked towards the village entrance, her figure disappearing in the moonlight.
Lu Qing looked at the direction she left with a complicated look in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Qiqi, where are you going?"
