I heard someone say this, I moved my eyes from Xiaoxu to the house, the whole building is a duplex structure, divided into two floors, the roof is painted with a layer of bright red paint, and the thin windows are pasted with three big characters glued with red paper - activity room.

Gao Hongliang walked in the front, took the key given by Wu Xiaodong and opened the half-open brown-red door, and walked in to find that although everyone called this place a rehearsal room, the real rehearsal venue only occupied about one-third of the room, and the remaining two-thirds were divided into table tennis rooms. The library and chess activity room, but after the Dream of Red Mansions crew came, they obtained the right to use this place, and most of the time was used to rehearse the plays, and other activity rooms often made cameos as venues for actors to play against each other, and it is not too much to call it a rehearsal room.

The room dedicated to rehearsals is called the practice room, the area is constantly smaller, about the size of two classrooms, there is a row of long horizontal logs used for leg training on one side of the window, the wall is pasted with slogans to keep hygienic, everyone is responsible, and there is a blackboard hanging on the front wall for some reason, if it were not for the few desks in the room, it really looks like a classroom.

Everyone walked into the room one after another, and they were all divided into a small group, Gao Hongliang and Deng Jie, Shen Lin group, Chen Honghai and Xu Lixia no one together, they all found a corner and sat down, probably waiting for someone to play with themselves, Xiaoxu pulled me and Yuan Mei Zhang Li to sit together, one person held a small book, I sat behind Xiaoxu, looked at it, it was densely memorized with all kinds of lines, most of Xiaoxu's words were Daiyu's words, at this time she was watching Grandma Liu visit the Grand View Garden, Daiyu said inadvertently"The beautiful scenery of a good day" in "Huizhen Ji" was noticed by Baochai, and then ridiculed Daiyu's chapter, this scene is very familiar to me, Xiaoxu and Zhang Li's performances are natural and cute, and it is one of my favorite scenes.

One of them is right, and I can't interject, so I can only listen quietly on the side, and after listening to it for a while, I found it a little strange, this scene of Daiyu and Baochai, but the person who played against Xiaoxu was Yuan Mei instead of Zhang Li, I ran behind Yuan Mei and Zhang Li to look at their scripts, and found that Yuan Mei's book was written in Baochai's play, and Zhang Li wrote all of it was Zijuan.

I looked at Xiaoxu and Yuan Mei with interest, Xiaoxu was talking about a good sister, and the scene of throwing herself into Yuan Mei's arms made me laugh, although the lines were serious, but I always felt that Daiyu was looking for someone to attack and coquettish.

Xiaoxu and Yuan Mei were playing against each other, and they didn't notice my expression, but Zhang Li, who had no drama next to her, found out, and she came to my side and asked:

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at Sister Yuan Mei for not being like Baochai. ”

"Who's like that?"

"You're like. ”

Zhang Li tilted her head, her eyes widened, she looked very cute, and asked:

"Why? Where do you think I look like Baochai?"

"You're like everything. ”

Zhang Li pursed her lips and said:

"You're just coaxing me, it's not interesting. ”

"Hey, you're wrong, let's first talk about Baochai's appearance, what is written in the book is 'The lips are red without dots, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots." This face is like a silver basin refers to the roundness of the face, smooth and delicate skin, and the eyes are like water apricots means that the eye waves are gentle like water, you meet these two points, right? Let's talk about Baochai's character, reasonable, obedient and virtuous, gentle and generous, courteous and abiding, you usually treat Xiaoxu as sisters, the relationship is so good, seeing the big from the small, it means that you are also a kind person, then you must meet the first three points, and then the fourth, abide by the rules, you yourself are the civilian of the Chengdu Military Region, you train hard every day, punctuality, everyone sees it, this is also in line with it, and finally said that Baochai is rich and talented, well-read, you usually like to read and learn, and the knowledge level is not bad, you say, are you suitable for Xue Baochai？”

After listening to me, Zhang Li's eyes suddenly became confused, and she didn't speak for a long time, I saw that she was a little strange, and hurriedly patted her on the shoulder and asked:

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Li seemed to wake up from a meditation, and suddenly screamed, although the volume was not loud, but Xiaoxu and Yuan Mei, who were nearby, still heard it clearly, and they both turned around to look at the two of us, Xiaoxu walked over quickly and asked:

"Zhang Li, what's wrong with you?" she turned her head to see me next to her, as if she suddenly remembered something, looked at me with an angry face, and scolded sharply:

"Li Jiaqi, are you doing that kind of thing again!"

"Ahh

Zhang Li saw that Xiaoxu had wronged me, so she hurriedly defended me and said:

"Xiaoxu, you misunderstood, Jiaqi didn't do anything, it's just that I was distracted just now and was taken aback, it's okay. ”

When Xiaoxu heard this, the expression on her face gradually became gentle, and she said to me with a little apology:

"I'm sorry, I wronged you, I thought you..."

"Small things, don't take them to heart. "Xiaoxu's suspicion of me is justified, I hugged her yesterday, Zhang Li called her like this, and it was inevitable that she would think too much.

Yuan Mei didn't speak just now, but seeing that nothing happened, she made peace and comforted me, then pulled Xiaoxu to play again, and left me and Zhang Li together, Zhang Li shook my hand and said to me:

"I'm sorry that you were misunderstood by Xiaoxu. ”

"It's okay, don't take it personally. ”

Zhang Li looked a little hesitant, and stopped talking at me, I saw her like this, and asked:

"Is there anything you have to do? Or do you have something to say? But it doesn't matter, as long as I can help you, I will help. ”

Zhang Li shook her head with a smile and said:

"It's not like I want you to help, it's just..."

Zhang Li deliberately lengthened her voice, her eyes looked at me directly, staring at me a little nervously, and I asked:

"Just what?"

"You tell me the truth, don't lie, what you just said to me, is it true?"

I thought it was something, it turned out that it was just because of this, a girl asked this kind of thing, whether it was true or false, it must be true, I still understand this truth, not to mention that what I just said to her was indeed a heartfelt word, I nodded vigorously and said:

"Of course, my sincerity can show the sun and the moon. ”

Zhang Li raised her eyebrows, her face flushed with a touch of crimson, as if a beautiful peach blossom bloomed, and said to me with a smile:

"I'll listen to it anyway. ”

"Whatever you say, it's true. ”

…

Xiaoxu and Yuan Mei had finished the play, and both of them came over, Xiaoxu crossed his waist with a hint of pride on his face, and asked me:

"How's my play?"

"You still have to act, aren't you Daiyu?"

Xiao Xu listened, the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc, but instantly returned to a calm state like water and said to me:

"Hehe, what you say is better than what you sing, flattery. ”

"Then you have wronged me, I never lie. ”

Xiaoxu smiled with crooked eyes, but snorted coldly in his mouth, and pulled Zhang Li over to play, leaving me and Yuan Mei to rest on the side, I lay on the chair, staring at Xiaoxu's slender back in a daze.

"What are you looking at?"

A clean female voice came from a very close distance in my ear, startling me to dodge for a while, it turned out that Yuan Mei didn't know when to put her face next to me, she was silent, which really scared me.

"Sister Yuan Mei, you scared me! I didn't watch anything, just watch the two of them play, anyway, I don't have anything to do. ”

Yuan Mei smiled embarrassedly:

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm here to ask you. After she finished speaking, she touched my head, which made me a little shy, and hurriedly dodged away:

"Sister, you're treating me like a child. ”

Yuan Mei smiled very kindly, I seemed to see the maternal brilliance shining behind her, she pulled out a chair and sat beside me and said:

"You're less than twenty years old this year, I'm definitely older than you, my brother is about the same age as you, and he still looks a little like you, and he's still in school, I think of him when I see you, when I was a kid and I played with him, I touched his head when I was scared, and when I saw you today, somehow, like a conditioned reflex, that's it. ”

Hearing this, I was inexplicably happy in my heart, only smirked, and a thought suddenly popped up in my heart, I held Yuan Mei's hand and said:

"Sister Yuan Mei, since I am like your brother, then I will recognize you as a sister, I have no brothers and sisters in my family, I have always wanted to have a sister, you have to promise me, from now on you will be my sister, okay?"

Yuan Mei pursed her lips and smiled, not speaking, before coming here, our family was still prosperous, and there was no shortage of brothers and sisters, but I only lacked a sister, and I always felt sour when I saw the deep love between sisters and brothers in various film and television dramas, I shook her hand anxiously and said:

"Good sister, you can promise me. ”

Yuan Mei finally smiled and nodded, and before I was happy, I felt that my ears were grabbed from behind, and Xiaoxu's voice came from behind:

"You bastard, let go of her hands!"

I listened, and hurriedly let go of Yuan Mei, Xiaoxu let go of his hand, Yuan Mei gently touched my ears, and was pulled red by Xiaoxu, and there were bursts of slight heat, Yuan Mei saw that I became like this, and complained to Xiaoxu:

"Xiaoxu, why are you so heavy, do you want to unscrew his ears?"

"Hmph, he doesn't die, he deserves it. Xiao Xu said, hit me on the back of the head again, turned his head and walked out in a huff, Zhang Li glanced back, and chased out, I saw that they were gone, and I wanted to follow, just stood up, but was pressed to the chair by Yuan Mei.

"Xiaoxu is angry, it's useless for you to say anything, she will definitely touch her nose in the past, she will be fine in a while. ”

"But..."

"Don't be, you just sit here honestly, if you don't worry, I'll take a look too, I know Xiaoxu best, she has always been a knife mouth and a tofu heart. After Yuan Mei finished speaking, she also walked outside, and I shouted thank you to her, the voice was inconspicuous in the noisy rehearsal room, and I didn't even know if she could hear it.

The three girls are gone, the huge feeling of emptiness is like a pair of big hands holding the soul tightly grasp my heart, I swooped up, looked around, I saw a lot of people: Gao Hongliang, Deng Jie, Chen Honghai, Zhang Lei, Shen Lin, Jin Lili, Sun Mengquan, Yang Junyong, Zhang Yuping, Xu Lixia, Zhang Jinglin, Li Nan, Luo Liping... I looked at thousands of faces, but I couldn't see her the most I wanted to see, my body trembled again, shaking so that I couldn't stabilize my body, I supported the table with my hands, barely holding my body, a few minutes passed, I couldn't stand, lying on the table, gasping for breath, I don't know when, I felt a hand behind my back, gently rubbing my spine, those hands seemed to have magic, under the touch of this hand, I was like a helpless child getting the caress of his mother, my heart felt infinite calm, the sense of security that erupted from the thin occupied my heart, my body slowly returned to normal, I slowly straightened upand found the owner of the hand.

Zhang Jinglin looked at me quietly, with a little sadness and worry in his bright eyes.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Well, thank you so much. ”

"What's wrong with you, why are you lying here all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, I suddenly felt weak and couldn't move there, but if you rub me, I'll be fine, hey, look, I can still jump!"

She smiled and pouted:

"You seem to be a big fool, you don't look serious for a day, and you have this problem, it's better to go to the hospital to see, this time I'm here, when I'm not there, what can you do?"

"Then I'll just follow you all the time?"

"Stinky poverty. ”

"By the way, there is one thing to thank you, I heard Deng Jie say that you said a lot of good things to Xiaoxu for me, today she can forgive me with half of your credit, thank you so much!"

Zhang Jinglin's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled neatly with eight teeth:

"Forget it, who called this girl chivalrous and brave, you can't see death without saving it, and if you are taken away, who will write a song for me?"

I also smiled and nodded, and continued to ask:

"Actually, I wanted to thank you for a long time, but unfortunately you didn't know where to go when I looked for you, why did you go?"

"Gone. ”

"Where have you gone?"

"I'm going outside. ”

"Why go outside?"

Zhang Jinglin glared at me, looked away and said:

"Why don't you go outside, watch you flirt with your Chen Daiyu in the house?"

"Ahh

"What do you apologize for? What do you have to do with her?"

"No, no, no, we don't have anything..."

"Hmph, you don't have to be in a hurry to deny it, even if you have, what does it have to do with me? Maybe one day she Chen Xiaoxu tells you to ignore me, and you will listen to her. ”

"How is it possible, Xiaoxu will definitely not do this, even if she does it, I will definitely not listen!"

"Who knows? None of what you men say is true. ”

"I won't lie to you! You don't believe us!"

Zhang Jinglin smiled and hammered me and said:

"You're such a big man, you're acting like a child, when are you going to be mature. ”

Listening to her say this, after coming here, I really seem to have become more naïve, and I have become more casual in everything I do, I don't know why, and I don't think it's a good thing, I lowered my head and was stunned.

"Say you're a child, you're really a child? You're not happy to say a word? Hey, I'm sure you're okay, you laugh, I'll have a hook up with you." ”

I laughed and hooked up with her, but I didn't laugh because I was happy, but laughed for the sake of laughing, and I felt like I was returning to the same self I used to be, the thoughtful and deep me.

After chatting with Zhang Jinglin for a few more minutes, she went back to the show, and after a few minutes, Xiaoxu and Yuan Mei and Zhang Li also walked back, Yuan Mei carried a bag of popsicles in her hand and gave them to the nearest people to eat, Xiaoxu took out two from her pocket, walked over to me, glanced at me, stretched out her hand and handed me an old-fashioned popsicle wrapped in tissue paper, and turned her face away and said:

"If you don't dislike it, just eat one!"

I hurriedly caught it, shouting thank you again and again, the popsicle package painted a pink skater, but the athlete's head is a little ghostly, almost stretched to the back, the top of the package is written to relieve heat and fever, cool and delicious advertising slogan, and marked with a point of price, I unpacked the package little by little, folded the garbage on the table, took a bite, full of milk, very pure, very traditional, I took another big bite, said to Xiaoxu:

"It's delicious, thank you. ”

"Hehe, why do you eat so fast, I'll get you another one. Without waiting for me to reply, Xiaoxu ran back to Yuan Mei and took one for me, but this time it was a blue package, in fact, I didn't really want to eat the second one, but Xiaoxu came to give it to me, and I was embarrassed to refuse, so I ate another one, Xiaoxu saw that I finished eating, and wanted to take it for me, I hurriedly held her down, waved my hand and said:

"Forget it, enough is enough, I can't stand it anymore. ”

"Look at your little bit of energy, can you eat a popsicle and still eat it?"

"Good sister, you can spare me. ”

"Scream, who is your sister, how many years were you born?"

I was stunned when I heard this, this trip has passed more than 30 years, not to mention calling my sister, calling my aunt is not an exaggeration, but I am now indeed the same age as a group of girls and guys around me, I should indeed consider my age, I recalled slightly, the day I left was exactly seven days away from my birthday, theoretically I am 19 years old, if calculated according to 1984, I should have been born in 1965, I said to Xiaoxu, she continued to ask:

"And what month were you born?"

"August. "I said my actual birthday.

"Then you're still older than me, I'm..."

"Born on October 29. Without waiting for Xiaoxu to finish, I replied first, I have grown so big, I only remember the birthdays of five people, myself, my mother and father, and my classmates who were only one day away from my birthday, and Xiaoxu.

Xiaoxu showed a curious look just like when Baoyu told Daiyu the story of stealing the taro for Daiyu in the play, and asked me:

"How do you know my birthday?"

"I know everything about you. ”

Xiaoxu listened, turned his head and looked around, saw that there was no one around me, poked his head and said:

"Bragging, I don't believe it. ”

"Don't believe me. ”

"How many people are in my family?

"Your family of four, your father is the director of the Anshan Peking Opera Troupe, your mother is a dance teacher, and you have a younger sister who is two years younger than you. ”

"At what age did I publish my first poem?"

At the age of fourteen, he wrote "I am a catkins", which was published in the Anshan Workers' Daily. ”

"What fruit do I like to eat?"

"Lychee, the big one. ”

"What's my favorite book?"

"Charlotte's Jane Eyre, you've read it many times. ”

"What's my favorite literary image?"

"Daiyubei, do you still need to ask?"

Seeing that he couldn't ask me, Xiaoxu leaned his body on the back of the chair,

The thin eyebrows were raised, hugged the shoulders, and said with a look of asking guilt:

"You guy, you shouldn't come to the crew, you should go to the police station, you are more detailed and fast than the household registration check, from the truth, what are your intentions. ”

"Ahem. I cleared my throat and said:

"I admire literary and talented women the most in my life, and when I see this kind of person, I want to be friends with them, and you are this kind of person. "Although I also thought about saying it directly because I love you, for a traditional girl like Xiaoxu, I thought twice and decided to take my time.

"Hehe, there are so many talented girls, Deng Jie and Jin Lili are no worse than me, why don't you make friends with them?"

"Hey, you're not like them. ”

"What's the difference?"

"You have an aura. ”

"What is Reiki?"

"This thing, um... Like fog, like rain, like wind, I can't describe it. ”

"Then you're lying to me. ”

"No, no, in other words, you have the kind of ice and snow intelligence and smart temperament of an ancient talented woman. ”

"Really, how do you tell?"

"For example, when they were playing against each other just now, I watched Deng Jie, hey, this one is like Wang Xifeng, she acted very well, Jin Lili, like Yingchun, is also very good. Speaking of this, I paused deliberately and didn't speak, Xiaoxu was anxious, and hurriedly asked:

"What about me?"

"I see you... You are Daiyu. ”
