The Pentium Era - South to North

As a town, Yongcheng County is new, with a history of only more than thirty years. It turns out that it is just a small mountain village with a few hundred people. Strangely, the people here do not speak Yongcheng dialect. It's the Anqing dialect of Anhui. They fled here from Anqing during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Later, it was because of the construction of the Xin'an River Hydropower Station in the upper reaches that it became a new town. Chun'an people who immigrated from the upper reservoir gathered here. A large number of people from Northern Jiangsu who stayed in the area after the construction of the hydropower station were recruited from all over the country. Plumbers and electricity workers, as well as Yongcheng locals from the towns below.

Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station is my country's first large-scale hydropower station that was designed, equipped, and constructed by itself. The reservoir of the hydropower station became the famous Qiandao Lake. Emerging towns prospered because of the hydropower station. The Yongcheng County Government also started from below. The town moved up, and it became the seat of the county seat of Yongcheng County.

Yongcheng County is an emerging town. As a cultural square, it is an old square with a history of more than thirty years. One end of the square is the main street and theater in the county, and the other end is a square more than ten meters wide. Go down the steps step by step until you reach the riverside.

There are two large camphor trees here at the entrance of the steps. Under the camphor trees is a cement stage. This stage was used for all the mass meetings, celebration meetings, and criticism meetings in the county until the later public judgment meetings and prize savings lottery meetings. Held here, it can be said to be the center of Yongcheng's political culture.

This time, the "ICBC Cup Women's Style Etiquette Grand Prix" was also held here. A red carpet was laid on the cement stage. There were two large speakers on both sides of the stage. There was a long row of tables under the stage. There was a row of judges sitting behind the table covered with red cloth.

On one side of the stage, there is a tent for the contestants to change clothes.

The stage was too small, and there were too many contestants. If they all crowded onto the stage, it would become a mess, so they were divided into two groups. In fact, the whole performance had no content. It was just 40 women taking turns to take the stage. Arrange and change various formations, then go down, change a set of clothes and come up again.

Everyone has a number. No matter what kind of clothes they wear, they pin this number on their body. The judges below will fill in the number in the first, second and third places of each link according to their own preferences. Finally, who will be counted? The one with the most wins will be ranked first, and so on for the rest.

The clothes worn by the players were all borrowed by the organizers from everywhere. Otherwise, it would be a huge expense, and even the sponsor, ICBC, could not afford it.

The first link is related to agriculture. There are forty contestants, dressed as tea-picking girls. This is easy to handle. Wu Opera Troupe, Laoyue Opera Troupe and even the cultural center have such costumes. In the past few years, all parts of Zhejiang have been crazy about "picking tea". "Tea Dance", get-togethers in the work unit, and performances in the system all have "Tea-Picking Dance", so the costumes of tea-picking girls are easy to find.

The second link is to reflect the national characteristics. Everyone wears cheongsam. This is easy to handle. Didn’t the art festival just hold? The hostesses in various occasions of the art festival wore cheongsam. The organizing committee made a large number of cheongsams. , I was originally planning to use it next year, but I didn’t expect to use it right away, so I quickly moved it out of the film company’s warehouse.

The third link is related to industry. I originally wanted to wear uniforms for railway workers, but I couldn’t find so many clothes at Yongcheng Railway Station. In the end, I could only get half of them from railway workers, and the other half from the long-distance bus station. bus station clothing.

The first three are related to Yongcheng, and the fourth one is purely for gimmicks. Commander Tang doesn’t think so. She thinks this link is related to reform and opening up. What other industry’s clothing is better than that of stewardesses? Clothing can better reflect the spirit and speed of reform and opening up. Wasn't there a person in our county selected to be a flight attendant last year?

When she said this, everyone agreed with her.

But where to find the flight attendant's clothes? Commander Tang knew the parents of the girl who became a flight attendant last year, but even if she found this girl, she couldn't come up with forty sets of flight attendant clothes.

Commander Tang still had an idea. She said who knew what a flight attendant was like? She ran to a hotel under the Hangzhou Federation of Trade Unions and borrowed the uniforms of the hotel staff. Everyone wore them and looked at them. They looked like that, but It's a pity that the clothes she borrowed were not the clothes of the front office department, but the clothes of the housekeeping department, that is, the clothes of the cleaning staff who perform sanitation in the guest rooms.

When the announcer said sonorously and forcefully in that jumping voice: "The blue sky is soaring with the grace of our youth, and the white clouds are entrusting our infinite longing for our hometown, Yongcheng. Look, now we are heading towards Our most beautiful daughters from Yongcheng, the stewardesses, came to us, and they formed the most beautiful scenery today."

So, a group of people dressed in hotel waiter costumes came up and walked from one side of the stage to the other, all they needed was a mop in their hand.

The last program and the most attractive program is the swimsuit show. It is a swimsuit, not a bikini. In small towns in the mainland, no one has the courage to wear a bikini. It is this swimsuit. There are still many people who resist and refuse to wear it until Commander Tang. He told them that after the performance, they would take it back, and then everyone put it on.

At this point, the chairperson of the County Women's Federation immediately thought of it. She said that it has something to do with emancipating the mind. The central government calls on us to emancipate our minds a little more, which means that we should break the traditional rules and regulations, especially the old ideas in our thinking.

Everyone thinks it’s very suitable to use swimsuits to break old stereotypes.

Forty young women, although they all have different looks, at least they have the same figure. However, those borrowed clothes will never fit. The whole performance is actually a disaster scene, but no one on the stage or off stage feels that, Everyone on the stage was very serious, but off stage, they felt it was too lively. As long as it was lively in this kind of open-air scene, it would be better than anything else.

Because everyone said this was a beauty pageant, there were a lot of people coming to see it. Many people came specially from the towns below Yongcheng, and the cultural square was packed to the brim.

Tan Shuzhen is No. 5. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she immediately attracted the attention of the audience. The audience in the distance was far apart. Although they could not see the difference in facial features on the faces of the people on the stage, No. 5 stood on the stage as soon as she came on the stage. It feels different there, and when you walk, the difference becomes even greater.

Human body language is formed by accumulated training over time. Tan Shuzhen had no shortage of training in this area. She came to take a morning class that day. Others were still confused, but she immediately grasped the key points.

Everyone came on stage wearing hotel uniforms, and others looked like they were doing hygiene, but she was the only one who really looked like a stewardess. It wasn't her clothes, but her performance of the stewardess's temperament.

In addition, she has enough stage experience. Whether the clothes she wears are too fat or too short, she can make up for them through her movements. In addition, many people, when they first encounter such a big scene, there are so many people below. People's heads might feel a little dizzy and their movements might feel a little stiff, but she was calm, calm and generous.

When this person is on stage, his eyes are his soul, especially for the judges sitting in the first row. They see that other people's eyes are dull. Only Tan Shuzhen's eyes are looking around freely, as if they are alive. , with a slight smile on his face, and those eyes seemed to be talking about something.

If the difference between the girls and Tan Shuzhen was not that big when they were standing together in the audience, then on the stage, under the backdrop of so many people, Tan Shuzhen immediately turned into that crane. , proudly independent, riding a high horse, and stunned some of the judges. I didn’t expect that we in Yongcheng would have such a beauty.

Especially the male judges.

The competition started lively and ended lively. Tan Shuzhen won the first place as expected. She received the certificate and flowers from the hands of the chairman of the County Women's Federation and the Chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, and received the certificate and flowers from the hands of President Mao of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Here, I received a red envelope containing a bonus of three hundred yuan.

After the competition, there will be a dinner at the Yongcheng Hotel next to the Cultural Square. In attendance are the leaders of the organizer, the leaders of the sponsoring units, the long row of judges, the top three winners, and... Organizer staff.

As the champion, Tan Shuzhen sat at a table with the chairman of the County Women's Federation, the chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, and President Mao of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The chairman of the county Women's Federation must also call Commander Tang over. It wouldn't be lively without her. Everyone sat together, drank, ate and chatted. Since Tan Shuzhen was present and naturally they talked about the Sanjiang Singer Competition that had just concluded. Tan Shuzhen answered their questions with a smile.

When we talked about the theater troupe again, the chairman of the County Women's Federation asked, where are you performing now?

Before Tan Shuzhen could answer, Commander Tang answered for her, where to perform, and perform at home every day. Chairman, you are such a bureaucrat. You don't know that after the Art Festival, this troupe will no longer have to perform.

"Didn't you also go to Beijing?" asked the union chairman.

"Hey, that's all. Let's complete the mission."

Commander Tang said that although performing in Beijing was a top priority for the Yongcheng County Party Committee and County Government, everyone knew it and laughed it off on less formal occasions.

The Chairman of the Women's Federation thought of a question of his own and asked Tan Shuzhen, Xiao Tan, why didn't you participate in that performance in Beijing?

Commander Tang usually has many contacts with the people in the troupe, including Teacher Li, and knows some inside information. He knows that Tan Shuzhen is difficult to talk to, so he quickly comes to her rescue. This actor is different from us. Natural replacement is faster. This old actor always has to Let's get new actors.

The chairman understood the meaning of the words and asked Tan Shuzhen, then you will not perform now?

Tan Shuzhen thought to herself, if the troupe doesn't perform anymore, what else can I do? If I think about it again, even if the troupe performs, I won't go. She smiled and nodded and said, yes, I won't perform anymore.

The chairman really didn't understand the business of the troupe, but he had good intentions. He shouted, "Why stay in the troupe if you don't perform? Isn't it a pity? Quickly change units. It's not good for this person to be idle. He will get into trouble."

Tan Shuzhen smiled bitterly in her heart, how could it be so convenient to change units? This chairman is really aloof.

"By the way, Xiao Mao, President Mao, the job in your bank is good, or transfer Xiao Tan to you."

The chairperson of the Women's Federation is not a high-ranking official, but she is still a member of the Standing Committee of the county committee. Of course she is used to talking to people in this tone.

"Yes, yes, the chairman is right. Xiao Tan, why don't you just transfer to ICBC? You will have to participate in the provincial competition next year. ICBC has always attached great importance to the amateur cultural life of its employees. If you go, You can also use your expertise." Commander Tang also shouted.

Tan Shuzhen could only smile and say: "Then even if I want to transfer it, President Mao and the others will have to ask for it."

"President Mao, let me tell you, you have picked up a treasure by transferring Xiao Tan. Maybe next year Xiao Tan will join our Yongcheng County for you and win a provincial championship." Commander Tang explain.

President Mao quickly said okay. He turned around and said to Tan Shuzhen, "Okay, Xiao Tan, come to my office tomorrow."
