"Qiqi, are you tired? Drink some water and take a rest." Lu Qing's voice was low and gentle, so sweet that it was almost bursting with love.
Shen Qiqi took the bowl of water, gulped down a few big gulps, and felt like she was alive again.
"It's okay, it's okay. Compared to the 996 days before, this is nothing!"
The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of love.
However, this sweet atmosphere did not last long.
Although the Lu family's yard is not small, it still seems a bit cramped compared to the spacious threshing ground.
Especially when rehearsing some movements that require big movements, there are always bumps and bruises and I can't perform them well.
"Ouch, my foot! It hit a rock!" The second uncle's wife screamed exaggeratedly, holding her feet and rubbing them.
"This yard is too small! It's hard to turn around!" My uncle's wife also started complaining, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
"I think we should just forget it! This place is totally unsuitable for rehearsal! I'd better go home and sleep!" The second uncle's wife started to act badly again, looking like she had lost all hope in life.
Seeing that the enthusiasm that had been ignited with great difficulty was about to be extinguished again, Shen Qiqi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
If we can't continue rehearsing, let alone getting a ranking, we won't even have the chance to go on stage!
"Sisters-in-law, don't lose heart! There are always more solutions than problems!" Shen Qiqi encouraged them, "Let's think about it again. There must be other places we can rehearse!"
"Where else can we go? The whole village is so small, and all the suitable places are occupied!" The uncle and his wife looked desperate, and their tone was full of negative energy.
The atmosphere fell to a low point again, and it was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.
Shen Qiqi frowned, her eyes scanning the yard, thinking hard.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on a pile of firewood in the corner of the yard.
"Got it!" Shen Qiqi slapped her thigh and shouted excitedly.
"Firewood? You don't want to move the firewood away to make room for rehearsal, do you?" The eldest uncle's wife looked puzzled, wondering if Shen Qiqi's brain was burned out.
Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously, "Of course not! I am..." She suddenly stopped, looking into the distance, a meaningful smile on her lips, "I have thought of a good place..."
"Let's go! Follow me! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Shen Qiqi took the lead, leading the Lu family and walking towards the outside of the village in a mighty manner. They looked like they were going to a group fight.
Although the eldest and second uncle's wives were full of suspicion, they still followed Shen Qiqi obediently, muttering in their hearts: What is this little girl doing again?
"We're here! It's right here!" Shen Qiqi pointed to an open space at the entrance of the village, proudly putting her hands on her hips, as if she had discovered a new world.
Everyone looked closely and exclaimed, wow!
This place is really nice!
It is open and flat with a wide view, it is a natural rehearsal venue!
"Oh my god! Qiqi, you are such a clever little ghost! How did you find this place?" Lu Qing looked at the open space and couldn't help but gave a thumbs up to Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of pride.
"That's right! Don't you see who I am?" Shen Qiqi raised her chin proudly, the corners of her mouth almost reaching the back of her head.
With the venue, everyone immediately became excited and eager to start rehearsing immediately.
"Come on, let's rehearse 'Twinkle Twinkle Red Star' first!" Shen Qiqi clapped her hands and cleared her throat. "Big aunt, you stand in the middle! Second aunt, you move to the side! Lu Qing, you're in charge of keeping the beat! Yaya, you..." Shen Qiqi paused, her eyes falling on Yaya hiding in the corner. A trace of pity flashed in her eyes. "Yaya, you stand aside and watch first. I'll teach you later!"
Everyone took their positions and began to rehearse diligently under Shen Qiqi's direction.
"The red star shines brightly, the red star shines warmly in our hearts..." The loud singing, accompanied by cheerful dance steps, echoed in the open space.
Everyone in the Lu family, from being unfamiliar with each other at the beginning, developed a tacit understanding later on. They danced more and more vigorously, and the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter.
Even my second uncle's wife, who usually loves to complain, let go and danced extra hard.
A gentle breeze blew away the heat, and the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Oh, that's great! Everyone is dancing better and better! It looks like our Lu family will make a splash in this year's performance!" Shen Qiqi clapped her hands and said happily.
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi from the side, the love in his eyes overflowing. He thought his wife was really great, she was simply a fairy sent by God to save him.
Just as everyone was getting into the rehearsal and laughing, a discordant figure appeared not far away.
Mrs. Sun walked over slowly, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand. She squinted her eyes and looked at the Lu family members who were rehearsing.
Looking at the gloomy face of Mrs. Sun, Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"What is she doing here?"
