Chapter 1810: Summit at Yangjia Village

Drying quilts, cleaning up, the rural areas that were originally idle in winter became busy as the Spring Festival approached.

On the night of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Rukun, the youngest son of the old man, took the lead and all the capable people in Yangjia Village gathered together for a meeting.

It was not a policy meeting, but a meeting about the Lantern Festival Summit on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

In rural areas, every larger street market will have a specific summit time, for example, Yangjia Village is on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Wuli Town is on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head, and some streets farther away also have their own summit dates.

The so-called summit is that someone in the street market takes the lead and each merchant takes out some money to invite the stage troupe to perform.

It's like going on stage to do activities to increase customer flow, making the entire street market more lively and attracting more villagers from the surrounding areas to come to the fair, and come here more often in the future.

Every year, the preparations for the summit in Yangjia Village are made after the New Year. After all, since the opening of the Yangjia Village market, the troupe has been invited to perform every year.

Since they are all regular customers, there is no need for so much trouble. After the sixth and seventh days of the Chinese New Year, when everyone has almost finished visiting relatives and friends and has some free time, the villagers will sit together for a meeting, and then discuss with the merchants on the street how much money each will take, and directly notify the troupe to come.

A week is enough time for the troupe from other places to rush to Yangjia Village.

The reason why the meeting was held before the New Year this year is that Yangjia Village’s homestay tourism has opened this year, and the herbal medicine has also been harvested in abundance, and every household has had a good year.

So the villagers thought that inviting a troupe to perform like before would not be able to highlight the temperament and spiritual outlook of Yangjia Village.

Therefore, some people suggested that in addition to inviting the troupe, should we also bring a circus, or arrange for lion and dragon dance teams.

Some rural markets even bring in banned singing and dancing performances in order to attract customers.

Of course, Yangjia Village is a well-known model village. In recent years, there are very few gambling cases at the end of the year. People only play mahjong occasionally, and naturally they will not do anything illegal.

So the circus is the main topic, and folk artists walking on stilts can also be arranged. In short, it is as lively as possible.

After the development of Yangjia Village in recent years, although it is not a town, it has the scale of a town, with not only the main street but also the side street.

In addition to various large supermarkets and home appliance malls, hotels at the entrance of the village, etc., it is not excessive to arrange these folk art performances.

Even the village primary school has built its own primary school, and the application for the middle school has been submitted, which has further promoted the prosperity of Yangjia Village.

"How about this, for lion dance, let's contact professionals, after all, we can't get that. Each dragon dance family will send a representative to practice with us, and we will participate in person.

In the past two years, I have visited many places. Many places have their own characteristics. For example, dragon boat racing, the big bosses worth tens of millions in the south participate in it themselves, and some gods in southern Fujian are also participated by locals.

The performances invited are invited, and these are all to enhance the lively atmosphere. People in Yangjia Village must also participate in it to show ourselves."

The speaker is Yang Rukun, the youngest son of the great grandfather. He used to be the village chief of Yangjia Village. Later, Yangjia Village developed well, and he was promoted.

From a genuine inherited cadre to the position of deputy county chief, this was something that people in Yangjia Village dared not think of before.

Now it seems that it is just like that. After all, people in Yangjia Village often see the mayor and even senior officials from the province come to inspect, so a deputy county chief is not uncommon.

But it is not surprising, after all, he is the highest official from Yangjia Village, and even one of the representatives of the locals in the surrounding area.

Therefore, everyone still respects him, especially after he retired due to illness even though he was not yet 60 years old.

He also helps to check all the big and small things in the village. As for the great grandfather, although some of them are still in good health, they have basically retired from the management position of Yangjia Village.

The people who manage Yangjia Village now are basically the generation of Yang Dad, and it will be the turn of Yang Dongxu in a few years.

"This is a good proposal. We should also participate in it. We always pay to watch other people's performances. Although we are employers, it always feels a bit wrong."

Everyone applauded Yang Rukun's proposal.

After all, Yangjia Village must have its own characteristics. Although dragon dancing is not a feature, the meaning and feeling of the dragon dancing team composed of villagers is extraordinary.

It can also show the spiritual outlook of Yangjia Village. Every year, the same thing is done in the surrounding streets, which does not show the ability of Yangjia Village at all.

"Then let's do this. Xuzi, you should put aside your business outside this year and leave later. You should prepare all the props for dragon dancing and practice in advance. You will be the dragon head.

The team behind the dragon head should be Xuzi's generation. Call Xiaowu and Xiaodong and Gazi from Xu's house. We old guys should do a good job of overall management and let the young people show their talents." The speaker was Yang's father.

Although Yang's father is usually very kind and does not express his opinions on many occasions, after all, because of Yang Dongxu and her father-in-law, if you speak too much, others will always listen to you. It is not good to be too domineering in modern times.

But speaking less does not mean not speaking at all, and being easygoing does not mean not fighting for everything.

Besides, Yang Dongxu is the leader, which is absolutely what everyone wants and no one has any objection to.

After all, he and Yang Rukun are about the same age, both in their fifties and almost sixty, and if they dance the dragon again, their bodies will not be able to keep up with the spirit in their hearts.

As for the younger people of the same generation as Xiaoshu Shengli, there is no one who is particularly outstanding and brings honor to the family.

So Yang Dongxu is naturally the leader, and he makes it difficult for others to take this position.

Yang Dongxu is obviously aware of this, so he is not humble.

"Then I'll find someone to make the props for the dragon dance, and invite a master to teach. This is the first time that Yangjia Village will be on display, so we must show our best side and not make a fool of ourselves."

"Then follow your suggestion and find a professional master to teach. It's best to come after the Chinese New Year and pay him double the price at public expense. After all, there's not much time between the Chinese New Year and the 15th day of the first lunar month, so you should train yourself to be good as soon as possible."
