Chapter 24 Watching the Theater
The cold wind was howling, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and their necks were so shrunk that they couldn't see it, but the cold wind was still pouring into it.
Jiang Buzhuo walked beside Jiang Quinoa, blocking the windward side, seeing that Jiang Quino's little face was blown red, she gasped hard, and said, "Are you cold?" Why don't we go back, anyway, tomorrow is the Winter Moon Festival, and it's not bad for this day. ”
As soon as Jiang Quinoa opened her mouth, a gust of cold wind blew, she shivered, and she could already vaguely hear the babbling sound in front of her, so she said, "It doesn't matter, I can bear it." Said with a smile, "Xingni also came over this morning to say, Jiang Cheng went early to occupy the position, if we don't go, they will have to complain about us." ”
Jiang Buzhuo thought of Jiang Cheng's eccentric appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and said with emotion: "I've only been away from home for half a year, and Quinoa is like a different person." ”
Jiang Qu smiled and asked in a low voice, "Then this change, is it good or bad?" ”
"Of course." Jiang Bu said without thinking about it, "You see that you have friends now, and you have begun to learn literacy and female popularity again, and you are more cheerful than before." This is what a little girl looks like, you used to be too timid. ”
Timid? Jiang Quinoa muttered the word and smiled.
Jiang Buzhuo was suffocated by her smile, and suddenly felt a feeling of spring blossoming, and suddenly felt that the cold wind had become a lot smaller.
Outside the ancestral hall, Jiang Quinoa looked at the crowd in front of him, and he was also stunned.
At this time, it was a play singing, the people in the audience clapped their hands and applauded, and when the singing bowed down, the audience was in a hurry, talking about the play they had just watched, Xingni stood up and looked behind, twisted her head to look left and right, and just saw Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Bu coming over, and immediately shouted and shook her hand happily.
Xingni's voice attracted everyone's attention, and when she looked back, she saw that Jiang Quinoa was coming, and many people got up to say hello, many of them were children, but there were also older people who knew what kind of village Jiang Quino's family was in the village.
Jiang Quinoa walked all the way to the front of the stage and made it on the bench prepared by Xingni.
Jiang Cheng took out a handful of fried peanuts from his arms and stuffed them into Jiang Quinoa's hand, and whispered: "Wait until you start singing before eating, don't let people see it." ”
Jiang Quinoa held the peanuts and couldn't cry or laugh, Xingni was afraid that she would be angry, so she hurriedly explained: "This is the peanuts that my mother fried yesterday, I wrapped them in oiled paper, they are not dirty." Jiang Cheng also knew that he had done something wrong when he heard this, and lowered his head with a red face.
Jiang Quinoa carefully wrapped the peanuts in his hand in a handkerchief and put them away, and also approached Jiang Cheng, and said in a low voice: "I also brought salted plums here, and we will eat them secretly when the song starts later." Jiang Cheng suddenly laughed.
The people who do it here are all from the Jiang clan, and it's always not good to eat alone. But everyone is not very rich, and just this little peanut is still Xingni and her mother squeezed out of the teeth for the children to make a tooth sacrifice. Jiang Qu knew that Jiang Cheng would give her peanuts if he treated her as his own, and of course he didn't want to make this clever kid sad.
Xingni was still a little apprehensive just now, but seeing that Jiang Quinoa was so approachable, the heart she had just mentioned fell back again. Although Jiang Quinoa usually doesn't put up a fight in front of her and Jiang Chun, she is always a little afraid of Jiang Quinoa, and she doesn't know why. Zhao Liang said that she was not afraid, but in awe.
At this moment, Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Cheng were already chatting hotly, because it was a warm-up, and it was too cold this day, so I ordered a few plays today, but they were also the children's favorite. Jiang Quinoa hadn't heard much of the play, and Jiang Cheng heard that she hadn't even heard of Mu Guiying being in charge, so he looked at her with a very pitiful look, and then began to tell her the play with his hands.
"The Qingxiang class sang the best, and they were invited in previous years, but this year they were too cold to come." Jiang Cheng said with some loss.
Jiang Quinoa also heard about this. Because the Winter Moon Festival in Jiangli Village has always cooperated with the Qingxiang class, the two families also have a tacit understanding, but this year, the patriarch did not notify the Qingxiang class in advance. Seeing that he was about to come to the village to warm up and sing for two days to warm up the scene, a letter came from the Qingxiang class saying that he would not come this winter. The patriarch was so angry that he went to the Qingxiang class and ate a closed door, seeing that people couldn't be invited, they had to change to a drama troupe. But in this cold winter, it was cold and shivering when I stood outside the door, and how could I open my voice to sing, if it was frozen, what could I do, it was because the opera troupe refused.
The opera troupe invited today is called the auspicious class, which was recommended by Mr. Jiang Youcai. It's not famous in the city, so it's barely enough to make ends meet. As soon as I heard that I came to sing opera in the countryside, it was such a cold day, and I didn't want to come, but Mr. Jiang Youcai had some friendship with the head of this opera troupe, and the opera troupe did not have much business this year, and I don't know if I can survive it this winter.
"They're only singing three plays today, you're too late, there's only one scene left." Jiang Cheng said very regretfully, there is no entertainment in the countryside, and watching dramas is the children's favorite. Where there are singing operas in ten miles and eight towns, the children go to the theater in groups, everyone is used to running, and the adults only tell them to pay attention to safety, but they will not be restrained. And at this time, there will be pickers coming over, one or two copper plates can buy a large bag of caramel candy, as well as various colors of exquisite workmanship shuttlecock, head rope, sugar man, these children's favorite things.
Jiang Qu listened to him carefully, and from time to time he responded to two sentences, which made Jiang Cheng more and more energetic, until the play began, he was still a little unsatisfied, and finally patted his chest and assured Jiang Quino, "Wherever there is singing in the future, I will invite you to go with me." ”
Jiang Quinoa nodded with a smile.
The last play is "The Empty City Plan", Jiang Quinoa can count all the plays she has seen on one hand, and she has not compared, but she feels that this play is sung well, so she also listened to it with relish. It wasn't until Jiang Cheng pushed her at halftime and pointed to the peanut in her hand that she remembered, followed Jiang Cheng's example, secretly peeled a peanut and stuffed it into her mouth, and then covered her mouth with Jiang Cheng and snickered.
The venue ended, and everyone left in groups with the small benches they had moved. Jiang Cheng was still reminiscing about the scene just now, and suddenly slapped his leg and said: "I will be like Mr. Zhuge in the future, shaking the fan, everything can be expected." ”
"That's called strategizing, winning thousands of miles away." Jiang Qu nodded his head and said with a smile: "Your sister said that you don't usually like to read, I didn't believe it at first, and now I don't believe it even more." ”
"Why?" Jiang Cheng asked suspiciously.
Jiang Quinoa looked like he didn't want to lie to me, and said, "Mr. Zhuge only knew five hundred years and five hundred years because he read a lot of books. You respect Mr. Zhuge , and of course you also love to read books. ”
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and said with a red face: "Yes." ”
Xingni rarely saw his younger brother show such an appearance, and immediately looked at Jiang Quinoa with admiration. At the beginning, Brother Liangzi was persuaded by Jiang Quinoa, if only she could persuade Chengzi to love reading.
Thinking of Brother Liangzi, Xingni's face suddenly darkened, and she said with some concern: "It's so cold this day, Brother Liangzi still goes to the city to work as a helper, and I don't know what to eat and live like?" But I can stand it. ”
When Jiang Qu heard Zhao Liang's name, his heart suddenly burst out, and there was a worried look on his face.
