"Brother Qing, what do you think should be the first article of the village rules and regulations?" Shen Qiqi bit the pen and asked Lu Qing who had just entered the door.
Lu Qing walked behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked down at the blank paper. "Well... why not start by respecting the elderly and loving the young?"
Shen Qiqi's eyes lit up, "That's great! Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and it must be arranged for me!" As soon as she said it, Shen Qiqi picked up the pen and wrote the four big words "Respect the elderly and love the young" on the paper. The handwriting was beautiful and powerful, as if it contained infinite hope.
At this moment, Shen Qiqi was standing in the village committee, with this blank piece of paper spread out in front of her, on which four big characters were written.
She took a deep breath, as if to carry this heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, shining into the house, but it couldn't dispel the tense atmosphere in the air.
Formulating new village rules and regulations is not an easy task.
She was just about to start writing the second sentence when suddenly, there was a loud bang and the door of the village committee was pushed open.
Wang, the defender of traditional customs, stood angrily at the door, like a bomb that could explode at any time.
"Chen Qiqi! What are you doing? Why do you want to change the old rules?" His voice was rough, like thunder, making Shen Qiqi's ears buzz.
His face was flushed red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if he was going to rush over and eat her alive in the next second.
"Uncle Wang, don't get excited first, listen to my explanation..." Shen Qiqi tried to remain calm and tried to reason with this "old stubborn man".
"Explain? What's there to explain? Why do you want to change the rules left by our ancestors? You are going to ruin the atmosphere of our village!" Wang, the defender of traditional customs, spitted everywhere and was as excited as a 200-pound child.
Shen Qiqi rubbed her aching temples. It seemed that this "tough battle" was not going to be easy.
Just as the two were at a stalemate, an old voice came from the door, "Qiqi..."
Old Mrs. Lu walked in tremblingly, and her wrinkled hands grabbed Shen Qiqi as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Qiqi, grandma tells you that the customs of this old village are pretty good. Let's not mess around, okay? The rules left by our ancestors all make sense." The old lady's turbid eyes were full of worry, as if Shen Qiqi was going to tear down her old house.
Shen Qiqi sighed helplessly, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
It would be fine if Uncle Wang was just an "old stubborn man", but why did he even bring his own grandmother to cause trouble?
Why is the road to formulating village rules and regulations so bumpy?
There was a sense of oppression in the air, like the calm before the storm, which made people feel uneasy.
Seeing this, Lu Qing gently patted Shen Qiqi's shoulder and gave her a comforting look.
"It's okay, take your time." These few short words were like a warm current that flowed into Shen Qiqi's heart, gradually calming her anxious heart.
After returning home, Shen Qiqi rushed into the room and began to read various books, hoping to find inspiration to solve the problem.
The rustling of the pages of the book was like a brisk march, cheering her up.
She was carefully studying the traditional customs of the village, when suddenly an idea flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning across the night sky.
"Great! Why didn't I think of that!" Shen Qiqi slammed the table, a look of surprise blooming on her face like a blooming sunflower.
She paced back and forth in the room excitedly, feeling full of strength.
She couldn't wait to find Village Chief Sun and tell him all her thoughts.
"Village head, I think we can combine modern civilized concepts with traditional customs and formulate a set of village rules and regulations that are in line with the development of the times while retaining the essence of traditional culture."
Village Chief Sun's originally furrowed brow gradually relaxed. He touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
He had been worried that the new regulations would cause resentment among the villagers, but now after hearing what Shen Qiqi said, it seemed...
It’s not impossible?
The next day, Shen Qiqi came to the village committee again.
This time, she did not directly announce the new regulations, but...
The next day, Shen Qiqi came to the village committee again.
This time, she did not "go straight to the point" or "force her way into someone's affairs". Instead, she moved a small stool and sat down next to Wang, the defender of traditional customs, with a smile on her face.
"Uncle Wang, you know the village rules best. I'm going to formulate new rules this time, so I'd really appreciate your guidance!"
Everyone: ???
What's going on?
The sun rises from the west?
Shen Qiqi, who has always been "defying the heavens and the earth", actually took the initiative to show goodwill to the "old stubborn" Wang, the defender of traditional customs?
This is even stranger than a sow climbing a tree!
The air was filled with a strong smell of gossip, and the villagers were whispering to each other, their eyes full of curiosity.
A crack appeared on the stern face of Wang, the defender of traditional customs.
Why is this little girl acting so abnormal today?
What’s the plan?
He glanced at Shen Qiqi suspiciously, but found that her eyes were clear and her smile was sincere, without a trace of perfunctory.
Could it be...
Does she really want to ask for advice?
Lu Qing quietly walked behind Shen Qiqi, gently held her hand, and gave her an encouraging look.
A warm current spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body. Shen Qiqi held his hand back, and a happy arc appeared on the corner of her mouth.
