Travel back to the 80s to farm

The first day of the Lunar New Year was sunny and the weather was fine. The village was filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere. With the sound of cheerful gongs and drums, the annual lion and dragon dance performance in the village officially kicked off. Upon hearing the noise, the villagers came out of their homes and flocked to the largest open space in the village, the big field, to see this wonderful traditional folk feast.

At this moment, Shen Jing was happily leading her parents Shen Changrong and Tao Huimin, as well as teacher Zhang and their family of three to the big field. Along the way, she introduced them with great joy, "Dad, Mom, this is a unique feature of our Xialin Village, which is performed every Spring Festival! Everyone gathers together to watch the performance and celebrate the New Year together!"

As they were talking, a group of people had already arrived at the arena. The scene in front of them was shocking: two majestic colorful lions were jumping and flipping in the center of the arena, and sometimes playing and fighting; a colorful dragon was flying up and down beside it, with great momentum. The superb skills won thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.

Tao Huimin was overwhelmed by the sight and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, this lion dance is so great!"

Shen Changrong also showed a gratified smile and said with emotion: "Yes, from the bustle and excitement, we can see that your village is full of vitality and vigor!"

"Dearest, our village is getting better and better now! Jingjing has contributed a lot to this, and so has Lin Yiping!"

Shen Changrong and Tao Huimin smiled at each other and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Our daughter has really grown up, and she has chosen a great partner!

The whole family was having a great time, immersed in the joyful atmosphere.

After watching the wonderful performance, Shen Jing happily held her parents' hands, followed by Teacher Zhang and others, and walked towards her factory together. Along the way, they talked and laughed, talking about the unforgettable performance.

Just a few days ago, the villagers informed Shen Jing that they would come to Shen Jing's factory to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Shen Jing was overjoyed when she received the news and immediately began to prepare to welcome the visitors. She carefully selected firecrackers, premium cigarettes and alcohol, and various delicious candies, ensuring that every detail was perfect.

When they arrived at the factory, Shen Jing enthusiastically introduced everything about the factory to her parents. She led them to visit various workshops and offices, and explained the production process and management model in detail. Her parents listened with great interest, their eyes full of pride and satisfaction for their daughter's successful career.

After the visit, Shen Jing looked at the neatly arranged gifts in the factory, her heart full of anticipation. She knew that these were not just simple items, but also represented her deep blessings and gratitude to the villagers.

The village lion dance team will be here at noon today. Shen Jing told her employees in advance to come and help if they are free.

Old Li and Erwa were already waiting at the office door. Wang Anhong and Huang Xiaohua were preparing candies. They would give handfuls of candy to everyone present later!

Villagers came to the factory gate one after another to watch the fun. They celebrated the arrival of the New Year together and made good wishes for the new year.

The sound of gongs and drums came from not far away. Shen Jing turned to look at the source of the sound with a happy smile on her face.

Shen Jing pulled her parents and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, the lion dance team is here! Come on, let's sit in the yard and watch. You sit in the main seats and wait for them to come and wish you a happy new year..."

After saying that, he turned to Erwa who was standing beside him and said, "Erwa, find someone to bring a big table to the yard, and bring a few chairs!"

The lion dance team was getting closer and closer. The two lions in the lead blinked their big, lively eyes and wagged their heads and tails as they entered the factory gate. They shuttled among the crowd, occasionally making some funny and cute movements, which made everyone laugh. Later, other performers joined in, and for a while, the factory was bustling with activity.

The leader shouted with a smile: "I wish Boss Shen a prosperous business and lots of money! Let's come and wish Boss Shen a happy new year today, okay?"

"Good!" the onlookers responded in unison.

"Boss Shen, was our lion dance wonderful?" the man asked again with a smile.

Shen Jing smiled and replied: "It's very exciting, but it's still not exciting enough! Look at the two cigarettes in my hand. As long as your lion can perform on the table we prepared, these cigarettes will be yours!"

The man turned around and shouted to the lion dance team, "Did you see that? Boss Shen wants to test us. Do you have the confidence to perform on stage?"

The lion dance team answered loudly: "Yes!"

The man then shouted: "Everyone, look carefully, we are about to start the performance! Beat the gongs and drums!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cheerful sound of gongs and drums rang out!

One lion jumped onto the table, and the other jumped and spun around it. They worked in perfect harmony, and their movements were agile and flexible, winning rounds of applause.

The people watching the performance cheered and applauded from time to time. Shen Jing's parents were also infected by the warm atmosphere, with happy smiles on their faces.

After the performance, Shen Jing handed the cigarettes to the leaders and thanked them for their wonderful performance. Then, she distributed candies to everyone and wished everyone a happy new year.

At this time, a villager came forward and said to Shen Jing: "Boss Shen, thank you for everything you have done for the village. Your factory has given us jobs and our lives are getting better and better."

Shen Jing smiled and replied: "This is what I should do. I hope to work together with everyone to make our village more prosperous."

The villagers left with laughter and joy. Shen Jing looked at their backs, feeling a sense of accomplishment and happiness. She knew that her efforts had been recognized and supported by everyone, and she would continue to contribute to the development of the village in the future. Then, Shen Jing and her family returned to the office.

Shen Jing shouted excitedly: "Mom and Dad, I am so happy today!"

Tao Huimin laughed: "You are so grown up, but you are still like a child! Haha..."

Shen Jing stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Mom, I'm just happy!"

Seeing his daughter's busy and fulfilling life, Shen Changrong felt extremely proud. He patted Shen Jing on the shoulder and said, "My child, you are doing great! Mom and Dad are proud of you!"

Shen Jing smiled and nodded, her eyes determined. In the new year, she will continue to work hard with her parents' expectations and her own dreams.

Shen Jing said seriously: "Dad, Mom, Yiping and I plan to get married at the end of this year, you must bless us!"

Shen Changrong complained: "Why didn't I see that brat today?"
