February 2, 2024 is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the northern year. In the evening, the temperature dropped to minus eight degrees, and the front of the village committee of Xiaoqiaozi Village, Liushu Town, Laobian District, Yingkou City was still full of villagers, and the first villager festival opened as scheduled.
For the arrival of this "village evening", the whole village has been looking forward to it for many days. More than a month ago, when Wen Fucheng, director of the village committee, proposed to hold a party, the villagers were pleasantly surprised and responded quickly.
The first program to be set was the dance "Good Start". Xiaoqiaozi Village has a mass base for square dance, and many women like to get together and dance a few songs on weekdays. The sisters discussed, "We have to prepare well and get on the stage in the village." "How can such enthusiasm be disappointed? In order to facilitate the dance team's rehearsals, the village committee decided to lend them the meeting room. 
Zhang Li, who had just returned to the village with her husband to live not long ago, gave full play to her expertise in business management and made a cameo appearance as the "chief director" of this party. A handwritten program sheet that neatly records the entire process. Since she has not yet become acquainted with many villagers, she also carefully noted whose children and daughters-in-law are after the names of "cast and crew". There were nearly 20 programs in the whole party, including the children's talent show, the golden song singing of returning college students, and the dance performance of individual industrial and commercial representatives ......Without exception, they are all self-choreographed. The villagers also brainstormed the lyrics of "Colorful Willow Tree", found professionals to compose the music, and finally presented it in the form of a chorus at the end of the party. Although there are occasional "small situations" on the stage, there are always smiles on the faces of people on and off the stage. Sun Yanjie, the performer of the dance "Red Sorghum Model Team", said everyone's thoughts in one sentence: "Don't care if you are professional or not, just be happy!" ”
A "village evening", from planning to preparation, from the opening of "Dragon Baby in Spring" to the end of "Unforgettable Tonight", brought the villagers to the roots of the past year. The whole village not only has a stage to show the "eighteen kinds of martial arts", but also has the opportunity to "work hard in one place". Everyone's hearts are closer, and they have also found the familiar flavor of the New Year. Wen Fucheng told reporters that in recent years, the villagers have become rich by relying on hard work in vegetable planting, and green vegetables such as shallots, chrysanthemum, and radish sell well in all seasons. The people's pockets are bulging, their lives are rich, and they have higher expectations for cultural life. The first "Village Evening" was a complete success, and he also promised with a smile, "We will do it again next year, and it will be more lively!" ”Producer: Zhang Xuyong, Zhu Lin
