Yang Yilin, Qiao Xiang, Qin Zixi, Lin Jing, Wen Jiemei, and Song Yi are in Zheng Xiaowen's English tutoring room, doing the venue decoration before the gathering of friends.
They put three sets of tables and chairs in the tutoring room, three in a row on the south side, two sets in a row, three rows on the north side, three sets against the wall of the compartment, and two chairs on the north side of the stage for the instrumentalists to sit on.
On each table where the seats are set up, fruits, melon seeds, peanuts, and sugar are placed.
Yang Yilin said to these people: "The six of us will sit on the north side in a while. ”
Yang Yilin just raised his hand to signal, and before his words fell, Lin Jing and Wen Jiemei took the first seat in the first row of the north seats.
When Yang Yilin saw this, he turned his mind around, pulled Qiao Xiang, and the two of them sat in the second row.
Qin Zixi and Song Yi were left, Qin Zixi glanced at the two seats in the third and last row, and he whispered to Yang Yilin: "I'll go for convenience." He walked out of the counseling room door.
A large group of Zheng's father and Zheng's mother came from the west house and entered the counseling room.
Yang Yilin, who was sitting on the second row in the north, quickly got up to meet him, and motioned to Zheng's father and Zheng's mother to sit against the partition wall, and said, "Uncle and aunt, you sit here." ”
Zheng's father and Zheng's mother sat in the two seats near the south door.
The eldest cousin motioned for the three rows of seats in the south, let Su Chen's family of three sit in the front row, let the second cousin's family of three sit in the second row, and her own family of three sat side by side with her uncle and aunt and sat in the back row.
When Yang Yilin saw Zheng Xiaowen, his hands were quick, he pointed to the chair next to Zheng's mother to the north, and said, "Teacher Zheng, you sit here." ”
Zheng Xiaowen sat down next to his mother's seat.
Qin Zixi came in, he saw that the seats in the counseling room were full of people, he looked to the north, and saw that Song Yi was sitting on the seat against the wall inside, next to the vacant chair on Song Yi's side, it must be his.
Qin Zixi was bored and unhappy in his heart, he looked at it again in a blink of an eye, and Zheng Xiaowen was sitting only one meter away from the south of this empty chair, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, his annoyance was unhappy, and he disappeared outside the nine clouds in a flash.
At this time, Qin Zixi, he didn't care if there was a table in front of him or not, he stretched out his hand and pulled the empty chair to the south, sat down next to Zheng Xiaowen, and whispered to Zheng Xiaowen.
Song Yi was left alone to sit alone in the north, Song Yi changed his mind, got up and pulled the chair out. She sat close to Qin Zixi, and she was like a row with the people in the back row, and she felt that sitting like this would not show that she was too lonely.
Yang Yilin looked at Qin Zixi and Zheng Xiaowen, he was not only a little annoyed in his heart, he was very annoying!
Oops! Originally, this seat was arranged just right, but now it is sitting like this! I should have pulled Qiao Xiang to the back row, and I sat on the edge of the back row! Now it's good, but let Zixi sit in that seat! I didn't think about this step, and something went wrong, which is really annoying!
Yang Yilin just pretended to glance at Qin Zixi and Zheng Xiaowen casually, how could he look harder, he was still afraid that others would guess what was on his mind! He was annoyed, sat down in his seat, facing the stage, and sat upright.
Nie Tongwen saw that everyone was all seated, and he came to the stage with a smile and said, "Dear uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, good evening!"
There was a round of applause in the counseling room.
Nie Tongwen looked at the audience, still smiling and said, "Now, the weekend art party has officially begun!"
There was another round of applause.
After the applause, Nie Tongwen said: "The first half is a drama program, and the second half is a song program. The first program of the following performance is the selection of the modern Peking Opera "Shajiabang", and the actors are invited to come to the stage!"
After Nie Tongwen finished speaking, he went to the table against the wall on the south side of the podium and took the Jinghu, Zheng Xiaowen walked over, she took the Jingerhu, and the two sat on the chairs on the north side of the lecture.
Nie Zhiwen and his second cousin-in-law, when they came to the counseling room, they didn't put on makeup. At this time, the two of them were busy working in their hands while walking towards the podium. Nie Zhiwen was busy tying her belt on the outside of her clothes with both hands, and her second cousin-in-law had just tied an orchid apron around her waist, and now she was panicking to tie a handkerchief on her head.
The four people on the stage were ready to stop, and Nie Zhiwen and the second cousin-in-law all put on the posture of the characters in the play.
Nie Tongwen introduced himself in a way of Peking Opera confession, and introduced himself in a loud voice: "I am Hu Chuankui!"
Nie Zhiwen pinched his voice and said brightly: "I'm Diao Deyi!"
The second cousin-in-law stretched out the orchid and said: "I am Aqing's sister-in-law!"
……
From time to time, there will be a burst of laughter from the audience.
Zheng's father and Zheng's mother were very happy to watch.
The three people on the stage, when they sang the play of Nie Tongwen, Nie Tongwen used facial expressions and movements to signal Nie Zhiwen to the audience, and he even sang with a belt: "This Xiao Diao doesn't talk about face at all......"
The second cousin-in-law hurriedly walked to Nie Tongwen, she pointed to Nie Tongwen and sang to the audience: "This straw bale ......"
Nie Tongwen saw that everyone in the audience was laughing, he didn't hold back, and laughed too.
Mother Zheng laughed happily with applause and laughter. Zheng's mother smiled and said to Zheng's father: "It's really a new society now, and my brother and daughter-in-law are also joking with my eldest brother." ”
"Alas, I know all the good intentions of these children. Zheng's father said, "They are coaxing their uncle and aunt, they want to make their uncle and aunt happy!"
The good intentions of the nephews, nephews, and daughters-in-law in acting, how could Mother Zheng not know? She just didn't say it.
After the first show was finished, Nie Tongwen changed the banhu, and Nie Zhiwen took off his belt and took the Jing erhu, bangzi and small gong.
Nie Zhiwen stood on the stage and said to the audience:
"Tonight there will be a lot of shows, please continue to watch the second program, a scene of the matchmaker in the Henan opera "The Legend of the West Chamber". The matchmaker is played by the little sister, please make the little sister appear!"
After Nie Zhiwen finished speaking, he went to sit down on a chair on the side of Taipei, put the bangzi and the small gong at his feet for later use, and then prepared to pull the strings.
Zheng Xiaowen tied a piece of one-meter-square two red cloth into his waist as a skirt, and held a handkerchief with a red flower and green bottom on the stage in his hand.
As soon as Zheng Xiaowen stood on the stage, she put on the matchmaker's rack, the orchid pointed upward, flipped her wrist outward, and said at the same time: "I am the matchmaker!"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
With Zheng Xiaowen's recitation, the two strings of Banhu and Jing Erhu immediately sounded.
Zheng Xiaowen shook the flower handkerchief, pinched the corner of the handkerchief, handkerchief orchid fingers, walked with her feet, looked at her father and mother, she smiled and sang: "In the embroidery building......, I served oh
Zheng Xiaowen sings word by word, pronounce words clearly, and have a smooth voice, which is very good.
The row of people sitting on the north side of the stage were all saying in their hearts: Wow! Xiaowen sings so well!
Especially the three men sitting in the north, they listened to Zheng Xiaowen's singing, watched Zheng Xiaowen's Hua Dan performance, and marveled in their hearts, all listened to Zheng Xiaowen's singing with their ears sideways, and watched Zheng Xiaowen's performance with straight eyes, and they all sat in a daze, leaning forward slightly, with their mouths slightly open, as if they were listening and watching for themselves.
