184: Singing

After a while after the meal, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the village. Xu Zhou was still unresponsive, but He Sheng suddenly became excited.

"It's a performance, is it a performance? We weren't we building a stage when we came?" He Sheng grabbed Xu Zhou's arm and shouted excitedly.

When he was a child, his grandmother took him to listen to operas. He didn't remember whether the opera was good or not, but he remembered it was very lively. His parents were busy, especially his father. He was outside all day long, and his mother seemed to be more idle than his father. But because of this, his mother focused more on his father. For example, listening to operas, he rarely did it. When he was a child, his grandmother took him there, but later, he seemed to have never watched the opera. Instead, he watched many movies with his classmates.

However, movies are different from operas, and I always feel that it is not as lively as operas. It is because he likes the kind of excitement, and he is not very interested in listening to operas itself.

He Sheng thought, this may be an obsession.

Fortunately, soon, his obsession was wiped out.

After a classmate finally came to the house, he happened to be in the village singing opera. Whether he wanted Xu Zhou to study or help build a greenhouse, Xu Jianguo and Zhou Hongmei felt that they were not in a hurry, so they asked Xu Zhou to lead He Sheng to the opera.

When Xu Zhou went there, he naturally would not forget to bring his wife and younger sister with him, so the group went to the village elementary school to watch the show.

Before leaving, Xu Zhou looked at He Sheng specifically and asked him if he was cold and whether he wanted to find a cotton jacket for him?

He Sheng took a look at his outfit. In order to be handsome, he specially wore a tweed coat. Of course, he did not forget to wear two autumn clothes inside. After all, he wore another sweater outside. No one could tell that others were still handsome and tall, and did not look bloated at all.

Now that he heard Xu Zhou's question, he shook his head without hesitation and refused.

He wears this outfit just to show off his handsomeness. If he wears a cotton jacket, wouldn’t it cover up his handsomeness?

"No, I'm not cold at all!"

After hearing this answer, Xu Zhou just glanced at him and did not force it. Then, he led the group to the village primary school.

There is a vacant land in the village primary school, where students play on weekdays, the stage is set up there.

Lin Baoxiu and Xu Lin were dressed neatly, and they were all wearing big cotton jackets, scarves, hats, etc. After all, they were different from He Sheng, who knew nothing.

Lin Baoxiu was also very excited. She had never heard of the show. She said rigorously that she had never heard of the show seriously. After all, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, the village would invite performers to sing for three or two days. She occasionally took a look from a distance, but this was the first time she dressed like this, who went to the stage to watch the show for money.

The reason is very simple. No one wants to stand with her. Every time those adults see her, they think that she will bring their children away. When they are far away, they scold their children to stay away from her.

Lin Baoxiu was very self-aware, so when she heard the lively gongs and drums, she could only stand far away and watch the people wearing beautiful costumes on the stage sing the words she couldn't understand.

But even if it is from a distance, it cannot be seen for a long time. Usually, after watching for a while, she is driven back by Old Lady Lin or Li Lianhua. Even on the eve of the New Year when everyone is idle, she still has endless things to do.

Thinking of these experiences, Lin Baoxiu was particularly looking forward to watching the show today. When she heard Zhou Hongmei ask Xu Zhou to take her and Xu Lin to listen to the show, the smile on her face never dissipated.

Without Xu Zhou's help, Xu Lin and Xu Lin carried a stool and walked towards the village elementary school next to Xu Zhou.

On the way, like them, there were many people holding benches. I thought that they could hear the lively drums.

Along the way, Xu Zhou said a lot of greetings, uncles, aunts and aunts. Even these people thought that Xu Zhou asked Xu Jianguo to retreat to make a greenhouse and was just a mess, and they could not deny that Xu Zhou was the most promising person in their village to get into college now. So, no matter what everyone thinks, on the surface, he is still polite and hello everyone's good scenes.

Lin Baoxiu followed Xu Zhou. She called her whatever Xu Zhou called, regardless of what these people thought of her.

She just remembered one thing, just don’t embarrass Xu Zhou.

Lin Baoxiu is different from Lin Baoxiu in the past. She is now the wife of the Xu family. You can disagree with it in your heart, but you cannot exclude it on the surface, even if it is just to give face to the Xu family.

Besides, Lin Baoxiu was not optimistic about in the past. How comfortable is he living now? Standing next to Xuzhou, he is like a pair of people coming from the city, and is no worse than the person who actually came from the city on the other side of Xuzhou.

Of course, if you really want to say something, it is the clothes you wear. This clothes are obviously made of a lot of money!

But, isn't it cold to wear this way?

Cold!

At first, He Sheng didn't know why these people looked at him like this. After sitting under the stage for a while, he deeply understood where those people's puzzled and sympathetic eyes came from? Sitting down steadily and slowly calmed down, the temperature on his body dropped rapidly. He felt that if he sat down, the blood in his body would be frozen.

He also understood why Xu Zhou looked at himself like that when he heard him answering that he didn't have to wear a cotton jacket.

He Sheng wanted to integrate himself into this lively atmosphere, and it seemed that it would be less cold.

On the stage, the performers performed with great care. Under the stage, there were the villagers of Taoyuan Village who listened seriously, and the outside were children laughing and playing, as well as one or two peddlers selling snacks, melon seeds, peanuts, broad beans, etc.

He Sheng was immersed in such an atmosphere and seemed to be really not so cold. Unfortunately, a gust of wind blew away all his self-deception, which made him unable to help but shudder.

He Sheng wanted to cry without tears, wuwu... He really wanted to go back to the house! Go back to the warm house.

He didn't understand how these villagers could withstand it? Even if they were sitting here in cotton jackets, they were so cold, right?

It’s just that cold, but after working hard for a year, I finally hired a opera troupe to perform at the end of the year. Each family only needs to receive a small amount of food or money, and they have to listen to it even if they are cold!

Looking at the people who listened with relish, He Sheng turned his head and looked at Xu Zhou pitifully, but saw Xu Zhou, concentrating on playing with his little wife's fingers.

He Sheng: "..." Why did he feel that the weather is getting colder? Does dog food also have the effect of refrigeration?

He Sheng was embarrassed to mention going home because he discovered that except for him, the other three seemed to have no such feeling.

Especially Xu Zhou's wife and younger sister, they watched it very seriously. As for Xu Zhou, they were also serious. It was just that Xu Zhou was not watching the show, but his own wife.

He Sheng: "..."
