Jiang Xiaofei could see that Song Xi's mental state was not normal, and she was afraid that he would do something to hurt Su Niannian, so at the beginning they did not go far away, but maintained a safe distance. Naturally, she heard Song Xi's request for Su Niannian to jump into the river. Not to mention that the river was fast-flowing, and even if it had been used to wash a dung bucket, no normal person would jump in.
More importantly, Jiang Xiaofei felt angry at being fooled, but before she could step forward, Xue Weidong, who was standing beside her, jumped into the river.
The other party was as agile as a fish. It swam towards the dung scoop at an extremely fast speed, grabbed it with bare hands, and returned to the shore. The whole process took no more than three minutes.
His clothes and hair were all wet, and there was a suspicious smell. He was completely unaware and handed the things to Su Niannian, "Captain, this is for you."
Except for Song Xi, everyone else had mixed feelings.
The person who suffered the greatest shock was Jiang Xiaofei. In fact, she had never seen through this man. In her opinion, Xue Weidong was poor, cunning, hypocritical and fickle. But when he jumped into the river, Jiang Xiaofei felt that he was different from those men who only knew how to talk nonsense.
It seemed like he could really do what he said. Inexplicably, Jiang Xiaofei's heartbeat quickened a little. She took two or three steps forward and said mockingly, "Xue Weidong, you really don't mind the stench? Disgusting..."
Su Niannian glared at Jiang Xiaofei disapprovingly.
Xue Weidong smiled nonchalantly. He wrung the water out of his clothes and explained with a smile: "I'm the only man in the team. I can't let Captain Su really jump into the river. This is nothing. I've done more embarrassing things than this. You girls are different from me. You have to protect me. Isn't that what you said?!"
For a moment, his smile was too bright.
Even Song Xi stared at him blankly, her eyes gradually changing, as if she was looking through him at other people. After a while, her voice suddenly became gentle: "I can teach you how to coordinate dance and hand drums. We'll meet in the back hills after dark. You can come too."
She stretched out her finger and pointed at Xue Weidong. Everyone else looked confused, and then they were ecstatic. They didn't expect that the other party would actually agree. This was truly a pleasant surprise!
…
They had dinner at a state-owned restaurant. In order to express their respect for Song Xi, Su Niannian and others went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick out some daily necessities as gifts for Song Xi.
Under the moonlight,
The sight of the woman sitting on the cliff holding a tambourine shocked them. Song Xi changed into dancing clothes. Her spirit was completely different from that in the daytime. She barely had the energy of a dancer. She patted the tambourine and looked at Su Niannian and the others with a smile: "Are you here?!"
"Teacher Song, this is something I brought to you." As Su Niannian finished speaking, Shen Luo quickly handed the thing over.
Although they lived in a cowshed and their living conditions were worse than those of most people, Song Xi seemed to have no pursuit of those external materials. She put the things aside without even looking at them, and then asked the four people to sit down in a row like she was teaching elementary school students. As she raised her hand slightly, a hand drum dance slowly began. Unlike before, her movements were a little sluggish, perhaps hindered by the injury on her leg.
The dance was amazing, but it was far from shocking. One could only say that her imperfection was another kind of regret. Even Jiang Xiaofei, who didn't like her from the beginning, showed a look of regret at this moment.
There is nothing more regrettable than the death of a genius.
If Song Xi was still the same Song Xi as before, it would be great. She wouldn't have to stay in this unknown cowshed with a dung bucket. Maybe it was because she hadn't danced for a long time. When the song was over, Song Xi's forehead was covered with sweat. She tilted her head and her eyes fell on Xue Weidong's face. She panted and said, "Is it good?!"
At that moment, her smile still carried the shyness of a young girl, which stunned Su Niannian and the others. Xue Weidong was also stunned for a second, and then clapped wildly: "It looks great!"
Song Xi smiled with relief, and all the brightness around her faded away. She sat down cross-legged, motioned Su Niannian and others to come closer, and began to formally teach the uses and techniques of the hand drum, and how to apply it to dance. Apart from anything else, her serious attitude made her look like a role model. Even Shen Luo, who didn't care about these things, listened with great interest.
Of course, the one who learns the fastest is Su Niannian, who is also the subject of Song Xi's key teaching.
For three consecutive nights, they taught dance and hand drums in the same place. Even someone as energetic as Xue Weidong could hardly get up. He could not make up for sleep during the day like the other three people, because he still had the task given by Jin Chuan to go to the local agricultural bureau to test the necessary correlation between black soil and crops. For three consecutive days, he rushed around during the day and went with them to enjoy the dance at night.
For some reason, Song Xi seemed to be obsessed with him. Even when Xue Weidong dozed off while serving as an audience member the night before, they could keenly sense that Song Xi's mood had changed and he spoke visibly less. Xue Weidong kept his eyelids open throughout the whole process and did not dare to sleep.
In just three days, he seemed to have been drained of his energy and spirit, and he was extremely depressed. Jiang Xiaofei rarely felt sympathy for him. During lunch break, she said unhappily, "What do you think Teacher Song means? I heard that she is only busy in the morning and lies in the cowshed in the afternoon. Why does she have to teach dance in the evening?
Can't she see that Xue Weidong is almost dying of sleep?! And she always names him to go. If that idiot didn't have any talent for dancing, I don't think she would teach Nian Nian at all, but would let Xue Weidong go directly."
Shen Luo burst out laughing, thinking about the scene, it was indeed outrageous.
Meeting Su Niannian's smiling eyes, Chen Luo bared her teeth and said, "Didn't Teacher Song say that it would be almost done in one day? Anyway, we have nothing to do in the afternoon, so why don't we go to the village to find her?! Regarding the coordination of the folk art, I still have one or two questions I want to ask. I am so worried that I didn't sleep well in the second half of last night."
Su Niannian hesitated: "This is not good..."
After all, Xue Weidong hasn't come back yet. In the past three days, they have long been accustomed to each other following them like a shadow. Her thoughts are clearly written on her face. Jiang Xiaofei doesn't want to see the relationship between the two people getting deeper and deeper. She rolled her eyes and said angrily, "What's wrong with that? It's useless for Xue Weidong to go there. He is just a nobody."
You saw the dark circles under his eyes, wait for him to come back from the Agricultural Bureau and have a good sleep, then we will go to the village early today to avoid staying up late every night."
The minority obeys the majority, and Su Niannian agreed to this suggestion.
I thought Song Xi would be in the cowshed, but I didn't see her after walking around the village. Finally, I saw Song Xi surrounded by children by the river. She was holding willow branches in her hands and writing and drawing on the mud. She was obviously working hard for the evening teaching, but the children surrounded her and threw mud on her.
All the insults hurled out of their mouths reached their ears.
"I heard that the lunatic went out dancing again tonight?! How scary!"
"Hit her, hit her! Nothing good will happen if she dances! Break her legs!"
