The days flow forward calmly and steadily like a gurgling stream beside the village. With Gu Qianning's unremitting efforts, the village's education reform is in full swing, and the sound of reading in the academy is like the most beautiful music on this land. Every child's eyes are shining with the desire for knowledge and the vision for the future, which makes Gu Qianning feel that her efforts are so worthwhile.

However, life is always full of new opportunities and challenges. On a sunny morning, the tranquility of the village was broken by the melodious sound of horse hooves. On the distant horizon, a group of people wearing distinctive costumes appeared. It turned out that they were the nearby ethnic minority tribes who came to contact the village.

The leader of the tribe was named Aguda, who rode a tall horse, followed by a group of strong warriors and elders of the tribe. Aguda was tall and strong, with bright eyes and a friendly and sincere smile on his face. When they arrived at the village, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan led the villagers to greet them warmly.

"Friends from afar, welcome to our village." Gu Qianning said with a smile.

Aguda jumped off his horse, clasped his hands together, and said in unstandard Chinese: "Thank you for your hospitality. We have always heard about the prosperity of this village. We came here today specifically, hoping to establish friendly relations with you."

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan walked into the village with Aguda and others, introducing them to the development and current situation of the village. Aguda praised the village's construction and educational reform achievements, and also introduced them to the culture and lifestyle of his tribe.

In the following days, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan actively promoted the work of ethnic integration. They first organized a series of cultural exchange activities. A grand ethnic cultural festival was held in the village square. The people of the tribe brought their unique music, dance and handicrafts to show the villagers their cultural charm. The villagers were not to be outdone and showed their poems, calligraphy, paintings and traditional skills.

At the cultural festival, the tribal dancers dressed in colorful ethnic costumes danced to the cheerful music. Their dancing was vigorous and full of primitive vitality and enthusiasm. The villagers were moved by their dancing and joined in the joyful dance. The music, singing and laughter intertwined and echoed over the square.

At the same time, the tribal craftsmen demonstrated their exquisite skills on site. They used their dexterous hands to weave exquisite baskets, make gorgeous ornaments and unique musical instruments. The villagers gathered around them, curiously learning these skills and exchanging ideas and experiences with the craftsmen.

The villagers' poetry recitation, calligraphy performance and painting exhibition also attracted the attention of the tribesmen. They were amazed at the beauty of Chinese characters and the artistic conception of poetry, and praised the villagers' calligraphy and painting works. In the exchanges, both sides discovered the shining points in each other's culture and enhanced their understanding and respect for each other.

In addition to cultural exchanges, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan also actively promoted economic cooperation between the two sides. The farmers in the village taught the people in the tribe advanced agricultural planting techniques to help them increase the yield of crops. The people in the tribe taught the villagers their unique animal husbandry and hunting skills, enriching the villagers' life skills.

The two sides also carried out trade activities. The exquisite handicrafts and agricultural products produced by the village workshops were transported to the tribe, and the tribe's characteristic leather products, precious medicinal materials and special delicacies also entered the village market. This economic cooperation not only promoted the economic development of both sides, but also deepened the connection and dependence between them.

The process of ethnic integration was not smooth sailing. Some villagers had misunderstandings and prejudices about the culture and lifestyle of ethnic minorities, and some people in the tribe also had doubts and concerns about integration with the Han people.

Once, during a cultural exchange activity, a villager showed disdain for the tribal dance, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the tribesmen. The two sides had a fierce quarrel, and the scene fell into an awkward and tense situation.

After Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan learned about this, they rushed to the scene as soon as possible. Gu Qianning patiently explained to the villagers: "The culture of each ethnic group has its own unique features. We should appreciate and learn from them with an open and inclusive mindset, rather than ridicule and belittle them. Only by respecting each other can we truly achieve ethnic integration."

Chu Mohan also said to the people of the tribe: "We value our friendship and cooperation with you very much. This incident was just a misunderstanding. We will definitely strengthen communication and education to prevent similar things from happening again."

Under their mediation, the villagers apologized to the people of the tribe and the two sides shook hands and made peace. In order to avoid similar conflicts from happening again, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan organized several ethnic cultural lectures and exchange seminars. They invited representatives from both sides to participate, share each other's culture, history and life experience, and enhance mutual understanding and trust.

At a forum, a tribal elder talked about the origin and development of their nation, which gave the villagers a deeper understanding of their culture. A villager also shared his experience and insights in agricultural planting, which benefited the people of the tribe. Through such exchanges, the misunderstandings and prejudices between the two sides were gradually eliminated, and the relationship between them became more harmonious and intimate.

As ethnic integration continues to deepen, many cross-ethnic friendships and loves have emerged in the village. Some villagers and young people from the tribe have become good friends. They study, work and play together. Some young people have developed love while getting along with each other. They have crossed the boundaries of ethnicity and come together.

Aguda's daughter Narenhua fell in love with Li Minghao, a young scholar in the village. However, their love was opposed by both families at the beginning. Aguda was worried that his daughter would be wronged after marrying into a Han village, and Li Minghao's parents also had concerns about the customs and culture of ethnic minorities.

After Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan learned about this, they decided to help them. They had in-depth communication and exchanges with the families of both parties, telling them the significance and importance of national integration, as well as the sincere love between Narenhua and Li Minghao. With their efforts, the families of both parties finally agreed to their marriage.

The wedding of Narenhua and Li Minghao became a major event in the village and tribe. On the wedding day, people from both sides dressed up to celebrate the beautiful union of the newlyweds. The wedding included both traditional tribal rituals and Han wedding customs, fully demonstrating the achievements of ethnic integration.

Under the active promotion of Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan, the integration of the village and ethnic minority tribes has achieved remarkable results. People of different nationalities learn from each other, help each other, respect each other, and jointly create a harmonious, diverse and prosperous living environment.
