The theater is located at the east gate of the town, through a narrow alley. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Jing Xi was in his previous life, he watched movies here, but he never bought a ticket.
Because her grandmother never gave her a penny, Jing Xi just tried her best to evade the ticket and get in, sometimes relying on the small and flexible people to sneak in.
When the ticket was strictly checked, Jing Xi deliberately pulled the corners of the clothes of the adults in front of him, pretending to be the children of that family.
This life is different, she secretly saved some money in her hand, which she followed the old Chinese medicine doctor to collect medicine in exchange.
In yesterday's ballet, Jing Xi bought a ticket to enter.
The theater is very simple, with rows of wooden chairs that can accommodate about two or three hundred spectators, and at the front is a high stage with a red curtain hanging from the stage.
There are big stereos on both sides of the stage, and the effect is not very good, and there will be no "cheer-la-la" noise in the middle of the performance.
The ballet started at seven o'clock in the evening, and Jing Xi helped her grandmother watch the fruit stand for about an hour after dinner, and then rushed to the theater after her grandmother finished eating and cleaned up.
By the time she entered, the lights in the theater had already darkened, and the dance drama had started for a while, Jing Xi quietly found her seat and quietly and attentively enjoyed the performance on the stage.
Today's ballet is The Nutcracker, one of the most classic pieces of ballet.
Jing Xi saw at a glance that Wang Liya, the actor of the heroine Mary, and Zhang Zijian, the actor of the prince, also saw it.
The story takes place at Christmas, where the girl Mary gets a nutcracker. At night, she dreams that the Nutcracker transforms into a prince and leads a group of her toys to fight the rat soldiers. Later, the prince took her to the Candy Kingdom, where she was warmly welcomed by the Candy Fairy, where she enjoyed a feast of toys, dances, and feasts.
"Chocolate" is a lively and free Spanish dance; "Coffee" - a mystical Arabic dance; "Tea" - a Chinese doll dance played by Xiao Xiaoling; "Sugar Stick" - the cheerful and bold Russian "Trepak" dance; "Almonds" - a group of shepherdessmen dancing to flute accompaniment; "Wine Heart Candy" - the dance of the "ginger mother" and her children who gave birth to many children in French fairy tales; "Waltz of Flowers" - a joyful and gorgeous dance of roses made of cream running down on the Christmas cake.
In the end, the candy fairy and the knight danced a graceful and gorgeous pas de deux to the crisp sound of the celesta.
Jing Xi was completely fascinated by these colorful dances, and her mood danced along with the cheerful music in the dance drama.
Until the red curtain slowly fell, Jing Xi was still immersed in it for a long time, unable to extricate himself.
Jing Xi didn't expect that Wang Liya, who looked a little delicate, actually danced so well, vividly interpreting Mary's coquettishness and kindness.
Jing Xi did not leave with the crowd that left, but was taken behind the scenes by a girl, the actors' lounge, where she met Chu Lin and Zhang Zijian, who had not removed his makeup.
"Do you like it?" As soon as Chu Lin met, he opened his mouth and asked.
"Good!" Jing Xi knew what she was asking, but she just answered like this, and she acted really well.
Chu Lin was not satisfied, she didn't mean this when she asked, okay!
"Why didn't you see your father and mother?" Chu Lin looked behind her, and no adult followed Jing Xi.
"Mommy and dad aren't here. Auntie is there anything to say? Jing Xi asked politely.
"Auntie asks you, do you want to learn ballet!" Chu Lin can't help it, so let's ask the child if he likes it first, and then talk to the adult.
Jing Xi was stunned, she thought about a few questions, but she didn't expect her to ask like this.
"Don't rush to answer, think slowly." Zhang Zijian said softly.
Love ballet?
I like it a little.
Do you want to learn?
Can she learn?
No!
Because she has no money!
Neither Dad nor Mommy! In her previous life, Jing Xi stayed in her hometown until she was twelve years old, and neither her father nor mother sent her a word, let alone money, in her grandmother's words, it was nothing.
Her tuition fee was her cheeky, against the disgusting eyes of her mother's family, and she blocked her uncle at the door every day before dawn, and just like that, she almost dropped out of school in the third grade.
Now, she has saved some money, which can only pay her tuition, and she is still a little nervous about buying paper and pencils.
Ballet is undoubtedly a luxury to learn.
She can't afford to learn.
A sourness, grievances slowly spread in Jing Xi's heart, and his eyes were astringent......
"No, I don't want to learn." Jing Xi heard the sound of his refusal, as if it came from far away.
"Then if you want to learn, I can ...... What did you say? Chu Lin, who was happily trying to say what she was going to do, was stuck, and she wondered if she had heard it wrong.
You must know that she Chu Lin is a famous ballet dancer, how many children want to learn from her, but she is very picky, so far, she has only accepted Zhang Zijian as a student.
Maybe Jing Xi hasn't heard her name!
But that's not supposed to be!
Ballet is a dream and longing that all girls have.
"Can you tell Auntie, why?" Chu Lin asked her.
"Nothing! I just don't like it! Jing Xi sucked his sour little nose, barely squeezed out a few smiles, and deliberately pretended not to care.
"And what do you like?" Chu Lin was a little anxious and hurriedly asked.
She finally moved her mind to accept the apprentices, but it was not uncommon for people to refuse. It's like a foodie, when he encounters a delicacy that he can't resist, and is about to feast, he is told that the food has expired, and people just want to find someone to punch him twice.
Jing Xi bowed his head and was silent.
"Have you ever wondered what you're going to do when you grow up? What kind of person do you want to be? Chu Lin is an anxious child, and seeing the child like this, she is even more anxious.
Jing Xi shook her head, she just wanted to live a healthy life, and she hadn't figured it out yet.
"What about your dreams? You don't even have a dream! Zhang Zijian couldn't hold it back, and also interjected to ask her.
Jing Xi was silent.
It is her dream to have a stable job and enough money to spend, Jing Xi thought!
"Liars are not good boys! Don't you like to wear these beautiful dresses every day? Don't you want to grow up and become more pretty? Once you've learned ballet, you'll be able to do all of that! Chu Lin rolled her eyes, pointed to the actors walking back and forth in the lounge, and said to Jing Xi with a smile. She doesn't believe it, there will be girls who don't like stinky beauty.
"I don't want to!" This time, Jing Xi replied very simply. She is really not rare, what she likes is the gorgeous and colorful interpretation of life on the stage, the gorgeous and beautiful music, and the light and graceful dancing, as well as the kind of romantic and unswerving love story in life, but it's a pity!
This time, Chu Lin keenly captured the reluctance in Jing Xi's eyes, and she realized that it was not that the child didn't want to learn, but that there were other factors in it.
Chu Lin thought about Jing Xi's words carefully, and found that she only said that she didn't study from beginning to end, but did not say that she didn't like or didn't want to learn ballet, and when the child refused, her mood obviously became very low.
Chu Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not that the child is not interested, in addition to this, it is nothing more than the unwillingness of adults, or the financial constraints, these are all small problems of Mimi.
Chu Lin figured it out, so she stopped trying to convince Jing Xi, she planned to talk to Jing Xi's parents directly.
"Jing Xi, where is your father and mother waiting for you?"
Jing Xi was a little disappointed in his heart, and shook his head, "They didn't come." After speaking, she didn't wait for Chu Lin to ask, and then added. I'm here to see the play alone. ”
"How can this be?" Zhang Zijian, who had been dumb for a long time, exclaimed, "They are too relieved." Let you go out alone at night, and you are not afraid of anything! ”
Jing Xi didn't explain, she never told others about her own things, especially unhappy things, she felt that even if she told others, these things would not solve any problems, but just add some conversation to others after dinner.
"It's too late today, I'll send you home first, we'll talk about something tomorrow, okay?" Chu Lin softened her voice and took Jing Xi's hand.
She really didn't worry about Jing Xi going home alone, although she also knew that most people in the countryside were free-range children, but when she saw such a lovely child, desperately hiding the sadness in her heart, her small body was almost completely overwhelmed by the loneliness and loneliness of the darkness, and she felt distressed.
Chu Lin has gone from being curious about Jing Xi at the beginning to having a pity, until now, she wants to take good care of this child, she thinks, if Jing Xi's family doesn't pay attention to this child, then she will take this child away no matter what.
Jing Xi disagreed, but she couldn't resist Chu Lin's opinion, so she had to let her send her home.
When I got home, I happened to meet the third uncle who had just finished playing mahjong at the door of the house.
Jing Xi hurriedly said goodbye to Chu Lin and ran behind the third uncle. She thought that Chu Lin would leave by herself, but she didn't expect Chu Lin to stop the third uncle, reveal her identity, and say that she had something to discuss with him.
Jing Xi wanted to stay and listen, but the third uncle pushed her through the door and told her to go to bed quickly.
The next day, Jing Xi got up late for the first time, because she had insomnia yesterday, and one night, she tossed back and forth on the bed like a pancake, and Chu Lin's words kept echoing in her mind.
Her dreams!
In her previous life, Jing Xi had many dreams, quite a heroic policewoman!
I want to be a doctor who saves lives......
I just didn't want to be a ballet dancer.
However, the dream of the previous life did not come true, although there are many practical reasons, but the dream at that time has never had such a strong desire as at this time!
