C51 Not a Single One Is Missing

When Chen Feihuang left the vegetable base, Monkey had already called to report that the Dragon Dance Squad was ready at the farm for the problems pointed out by Teacher Hou yesterday, they would improve it today and let him see if there were any improvements.

Chen Feihuang had also participated in the Dragon Dance Squad in the village when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. During the New Year, he had a lively dance in the market with firecrackers. The surrounding people cheered and applauded enthusiastically. This was a kind of glory!

More than twenty years had passed. Chen Feihuang had never danced the dragon again. Even when he had proposed to organize the dragon dance team, he had organized it so that others could participate. He had never participated in the dance himself, mainly because he was unable to split himself apart. However, today, he wanted to try it out.

When he arrived at the rice farm, everyone was present, including Chen Guobiao!

However, the atmosphere was not as joyous as usual. Each of them had a solemn expression and a heavy heart. When they saw Chen Feihuang, Monkey, and Twin Happiness walking up to them, Monkey said in a low voice, "Uncle, just now, he said that he wants to withdraw from the Dragon Dance Team. The other five uncles in the team all said that if he wants to withdraw, they will also withdraw together. "

"Uh. . . " Big-head was very surprised. He thought that Chen Guobiao had already thought it through. How could it be like this?

"Brother Feihuang, what do we do now?" Shuangxi asked anxiously, "Tomorrow, we will have to compete with the Qingshan Village. They have also invited experts from the city today. They are currently rehearsing intensely. Our team has more than a dozen people. Now that six of them have left, the Dragon Dance team will be disbanded. "

"Yeah, Brother Feihuang, after the uncles have left, the people's sentiment will also be disbanded. When the time comes, how are we going to rehearse?" Monkey was on the verge of tears.

"Feihuang is also thinking about the health of the uncles. " Big-head said, "It's currently June, and the sun is right above us. What should we do if something happens in Chengdu?"

"I know. I said the same thing just now, but they didn't listen to me. They even said that they've worked in the crops for their entire lives and never feared the scorching sun. These are all excuses. If I still want to talk, my father will slap me in the face with his shoes. Look. There is even a shoe print on my face. "

Monkey leaned over to the left side of his face. There was really a shoe print on his shoe, which was quite clear.

"Pfff -" Big-head couldn't help but laugh.

"Big Brother Big-head, you're still laughing!" Monkey held his tongue, feeling wronged.

"I was also beaten up. I was kicked. " Twin Happiness pouted for them to see. There was a grayish-white footprint on it, and it was even stained with mud.

"Hahaha. . . " Big-head could no longer hold it in and started laughing.

The other members of the Dragon Dance Team looked over with ugly expressions. Chen Feihuang kicked Big-head and Big-head pursed his lips, trying his best to hold back his laughter.

"I specially rushed over to watch your performance. Why are you all sitting there and not moving?" Chen Feihuang smiled as he walked forward. "Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Feihuang, we're all family. I don't like to beat around the bush when I speak. " Chen Guo Biao frowned with a solemn expression, "I know what you mean. For the sake of the bigger picture, I'll give up the position of the dragon head. I've already announced just now. . . "

"Old Secretary, withdraw. We also withdraw. " The other five uncles immediately shouted. They were fifty to sixty old men with white hair. Their white backs were dyed yellow by sweat. They had their waists bent and their brows were knitted. Their faces were filled with indignation.

Especially Monkey's father, Chen Guobing. The veins on his forehead were bulging. He went forward and pointed at Chen Feihuang and cursed, "Chen Feihuang, you heartless dog! Who helped you and your grandfather back then? Who protected you as the village secretary? Who took you in and protected you? You have some achievements now. Are you going to break the bridge after crossing it? Are you still human if you want to drive the old Secretary away?"

" Chen Guo Bing, shut up!! " Chen Guo Biao hurriedly berated, "I've already told you all for half a day, why can't you all listen? It's me who wants to withdraw. It has nothing to do with Feihuang. "

"You're a good old man. Other people sold you, yet you still helped them count the money and grow some brains. . . " Chen Guobing looked like he was disappointed with Chen Guobiao. "Back then, if it wasn't for you calling us, we would have been so full that we would have come to dance with dragons. We did not have a penny, and we were delayed by work. "

"Yeah, we only came because we gave face to the old Secretary. Secretary Fei Huang, you must not forget your capital!"

"That's right. . . "

The old Secretary nodded. "Don't say anymore. " Chen Guo Biao was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Why can't I explain it to you?"

"I understand what the uncles are trying to say. " Chen Feihuang said with a smile, "Don't worry. I grew up in the Hundred Households of Golden River Village. The blood that flows in my bones is the blood of Golden River Village. I will never forget my roots. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back to be the village secretary. "

"Then you still. . . "

"Yesterday, Teacher Hou gave some advice, but he was really thinking about the bigger picture. He only made such a suggestion because he was responsible for us. To be honest, I am also very conflicted. I have been hesitating and struggling since last afternoon until last night. But my final decision is not to let my uncle leave. To be more precise, no one in this team is allowed to leave. There are a total of 16 people in the Dragon Dance Team, not a single one is missing! "

When Chen Feihuang said those words in a serious manner, everyone was stunned. Big-head was the most surprised. Why had he suddenly compromised? If he really did not want them to retreat, what should they do if something happened? The success or failure of the Dragon Dance Team was a small matter. If something happened to these uncles, who could bear it?

"Not retreating?" Chen Guobiao widened his eyes in shock. "Feihuang, I didn't hear wrongly, right? Then, then you. . . "

"Right, I won't retreat, you didn't hear it wrong. " Chen Feihuang looked at Chen Guobiao and said sincerely, " I originally wanted to ask her to help me convince you to withdraw, but Baihe turned around and advised me to let you stay.

She said that our fathers are all farmers. They have been facing the yellow earth for their entire lives. They have been working hard to solve the problem of food and clothing, and there is almost no spiritual world. The dragon dance is your only belief, and it is the power that supports you to move forward.

She also said that ever since I organized the dragon dance team, the smile on your face has become much more than before, and you speak more. Every day, you think about how to promote the dragon dance. You do farm work during the day and rehearse at night, but you don't feel tired at all.

After rehearsing, you call your uncle who is participating in the rehearsal to your yard to discuss how to make the Dragon Dance better, and how to do the dancing work. . . This Dragon has your painstaking efforts, and with you around, it will have a soul. So, how can I bear to make you withdraw?"

Hearing these words, the group of people fell silent. A few uncles were very touched, and Chen Guo Biao's eyes turned red. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but a hint of sadness choked his throat, and he didn't say a single word.

"I know what you guys are worried about. The most important thing about the dragon dance is to participate. Victory is not important. What is important is the heart. We will do our best to complete the task. That is enough. Also, for the sake of your health, I have another arrangement, I hope you agree "
