On National Day, Fengshou Town set up a stage in the basketball court in front of the town government.

The National Day performances are held here every year.

It just so happened to be market day, so the basketball court was especially lively this year.

Before the performance was even scheduled, the stage was already surrounded by a huge crowd.

Each village has its own program, some perform acrobatics, some sing, some dance, some recite poetry, some play the harmonica, some play the erhu, some play drums...

This was the first time Su Xiaonuan had ever seen such a performance.

It was a complete hodgepodge.

However, she watched it with great interest.

Su Xiaonuan, who was hiding behind the curtain, was pulled over by Mo Xi.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and do DouDou and GuoGuo's makeup, we're the next show after that."

"I almost forgot, but they look good even without makeup."

She and Moxi had already done their makeup before leaving the house, but since the kids love to put makeup on their faces, they had to do their makeup on the spot.

DouDou and GuoGuo have fair skin, so they don't need any powder. I just put some blush on their chubby little faces and some lipstick on their little mouths. I showed them to them and then put a red beauty mark on their foreheads.

"Wow, this mole makes them look so much better!" Moxi exclaimed. "Look, our DouDou and GuoGuo look just like the dolls in the New Year's paintings."

The two children were wearing Tang suits, which Xiao Nuan had sewn herself. With these outfits, they really looked like the miserly children in New Year paintings.

Each village's competition entries had already been submitted to the town. Considering that it was for future lyrics, Su Xiaonuan wrote down the lyrics and musical score and submitted them as well.

The town has arranged for a music teacher from the school to play the accordion to accompany everyone.

Just as Su Xiaonuan was about to bring her aunt and the children out, Xiao Moran suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Daddy!" DouDou and GuoGuo jumped up and down, hugging his legs with joy.

"You two be careful not to smudge your makeup."

Su Xiaonuan looked at the man in front of her. He was tall and straight, and his skin was much whiter. He was more reserved and composed than before. While pulling the two children, she couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

"Why aren't you even a little bit surprised?" Xiao Moran leaned towards her.

"What's so surprising about this? You're here, so get out of the way and don't disrupt our performance." A sense of oppression washed over her, and she stepped aside.

“Brother, you’ve come at the perfect time! It’s almost our turn to perform.” Moxi happily grabbed his hand. “Cheer us on later! Go watch from the audience; my mom’s in the third row.”

"No need, I'll perform with you." Xiao Moran's eyes kept darting around Su Xiaonuan's face.

"No way, what if you mess it up?" Su Xiaonuan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and warned him with her fist raised. "You're not allowed to cause trouble. This time, we're going to win the championship."

"I'll accompany you; it won't interfere with your singing and performance." Xiao Moran waved his hand, and someone immediately brought him an organ.

"Can you do it?" Su Xiaonuan pouted.

"certainly."

Before Su Xiaonuan could say anything, the stage planner walked over and said, "It's your turn to prepare."

Moshi immediately started moving her arms and legs; she was a backup dancer.

"Dou Dou, Guo Guo, are you ready? We're going on stage." Su Xiaonuan looked at her two little ones. "Mommy will join you in singing later."

The plan changed. Originally, she was supposed to accompany the music with the harmonica, but now that Xiao Moran is accompanying her, she has no choice but to sing.

"Mom, I'm ready."

When she turned around to warn Xiao Moran again, she found that he had disappeared, but then she heard the sound of a zither coming from the stage, the score of "Lupin Flower".

When she led the children onto the stage, she found that Xiao Moran was already providing accompaniment.

As the piano music began, she and the children started singing.

Murthy also danced gracefully on stage.

This family is good-looking, and they won thunderous applause as soon as they appeared.

The singing was melodious, and the music was pleasant to listen to.

The dance moves were graceful, and the lyrics were original.

The family worked together perfectly; their singing and piano playing were like a beautiful mountain stream, accompanied by graceful dance moves, captivating all the audience members.

They had never heard such a beautiful song before, and it stirred up waves of emotion within them, leaving everyone deeply moved.

...

Su Xiaonuan's family won the championship, bringing glory to Xiaolong Village.

The village chief and the others wanted to treat the family to a meal at a restaurant, but they refused.

"Xiao Nuan, where are you going with all these bags?" Xiao Moran asked as she came out of Xingwang Restaurant with a bunch of bags.

"I'm going to the provincial capital to see my parents." She had a bag hanging on one side and held a child's hand in the other.

This reminded her of the song about returning to one's parents' home: a chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right, and a chubby baby on the back.

"Then I'll go with you."

"Mo Ran, you've just gotten back. Aren't you going home for a couple of days?" Zhang Yulan hadn't seen her son for several months, and as a mother, she naturally wanted to chat with him.

“Brother, you’re leaving so soon after you get back? Isn’t that a bit much?” Mo Xi pulled him back. “Why don’t you persuade your wife not to leave today? Let’s go back to the provincial capital together in a couple of days. She’s going to open a restaurant there.”

“In that case, you and Mom can go to the provincial capital together,” Xiao Moran said. “I’ve rented a place there, so you’ll have somewhere to stay. Xiao Nuan runs a restaurant, so you can help her out.”

"Great, great!" Mo Xi couldn't be happier. Ever since her trip to the provincial capital, she had fallen in love with big cities.

"What about the family?" Zhang Yulan asked. "I'm not going."

Zhang Yulan has lived in the village her whole life. She can't bear to leave her home. No matter how good things are outside, nothing is better than her own home. She refuses to go to the provincial capital with her children no matter what.
