It started to drizzle again in the afternoon in Erjingshan, but this did not affect the performance of the Zhongwen Repertory Theatre and the enthusiasm of the crowds who came to watch.
By noon, with the help of school teachers and some children's parents, the stage and scenery had been set up.
"Are you ready, Yan Zi?" Du Sixi saw that Yan Zi looked a little absent-minded.
"Ah, ah? Oh, all right, Captain, no problem."
"You, you, are you worried about your assistant? Don't worry, your assistant just has a mild altitude sickness. With his physique, he will recover soon." Du Sixi jokingly emphasized the word "assistant".
"Who would worry about that guy!" Yan Zi said stubbornly, but his mood was much relieved.
"Okay, just don't worry. Okay, Wang Meili is already singing with her children to pick you up. It's your turn now."
Yan Zi's face was calm. This was her stage. Once she stepped onto the stage, she had to put everything offstage aside and devote herself fully to the role. This was also what Chen Fei taught her in the last lesson.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, I'm Xia Yu from Huadu!"
After the adaptation, this drama is about two hours long in total. Many things in the original script were deleted and some things were added.
The children below burst into laughter when they saw Xia Yu point out that Wang Meili pronounced "tiaotiao" as "zhaozhao".
I felt disappointed and sad when I saw the children in the play moving all the containers out because it was raining, and then it didn’t rain in the end.
When the volunteer teachers see the conflict between Xia Yu and her boyfriend in the play, they can't help but think of their own struggle between ideals and reality.
The whole film actually does not say what is good or what is right. It just tells the story of an ordinary volunteer teacher teaching in a school in a border area covered with yellow sand, and his mental journey from resistance to love.
"From then on, the school lost a Wang Meili, but gained a Xia Meili." When the last sentence of the narration sounded, many teachers and children in the audience began to applaud with tears in their eyes.
Then Du Sixi led the entire drama troupe on stage to take a bow.
Then someone helped carry a lot of things onto the stage. These were all brought by Yan Zi and Xu Linling to donate to the children in the school.
The two of them stood on the stage and handed things out to the children below. Some sensible children would even return the favor.
It could be a piece of candy, a date, or even a small stone.
Sister Chen was recording all of this. They didn't intend to actively publicize these images, but just keep a record. In today's entertainment industry, people might slander you openly or secretly at any time. Although their purpose of doing good deeds this time was not for publicity, keeping these video materials might be useful.
"Sister, you are so beautiful, just like the big star on TV." A little girl wearing flowery clothes and a ponytail tied with a red cloth, with her hands behind her back, looked at Yan Zi shyly.
"This sister is a big star! She can sing and act. You'll see her on TV often." Xu Linling said, "Here, little friend, this is something this star sister and I, your beautiful sister, gave you."
The little girl looked timidly at the schoolbag and clothes that Xu Linling handed over. She had just seen the child in front of her open her schoolbag, which contained the books, stationery, and two bags of candy she had longed for. The clothes also looked so clean and beautiful.
"Hurry up and take it. This thing is so heavy. I can't lift it, pretty sister."
"But... I don't have any gifts for you..."
Yan Zi and Xu Linling exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "If you don't have it now, you can owe it to me first. You can pay it back when you grow up. What's your name?"
"My name is Xia Xiaohua, is this really okay?"
"Of course you can, Xia Xiaohua, what a nice name. Come on, help this pretty sister hold it, she really can't hold it anymore."
"Okay, I'm very strong. I was able to go into the mountains to collect firewood by myself last year." Xia Xiaohua happily took the schoolbag and new clothes from Xu Linling.
The two looked at the little girl who was just 1.1 meters tall and less than 1.2 meters tall. They couldn't imagine how she could go into the mountains to collect firewood by herself at such a young age. The sensible child made people feel even more heartbroken.
Yan Zi pulled Xia Xiaohua over and hugged her gently, then touched her hair: "Sister believes in you, Xiaohua is really an amazing girl."
"Sister, what do you like best? When I have one, I will give it to you." Xia Xiaohua looked at Yan Zi with her innocent big eyes.
"Sister, my favorite is Xiaohua." Yan Zi said as she held her little face, touched her forehead with hers, and rubbed them together, making the little girl giggle.
Because there were other children queuing behind her, Xia Xiaohua thanked the two of them, ran back home quickly, put her schoolbag and clothes away carefully, and then ran out again.
After finally distributing all the things, Yan Zi stood up with difficulty. Because these children were short, she had been squatting to communicate with them almost the entire time. Only now did she feel her legs were numb.
"Seeing them happy, I feel a lot better too." Yan Zi said with emotion.
"Yeah." Xu Linling also pounded her waist and agreed beside her.
"Four days have passed so quickly. I have to go back to Jiangdu tomorrow."
"What? You don't want to go back?" Sister Chen put away her portable camera. "You know, once we get back, we'll have to prepare for the Chinese Music Golden Disc Awards. And there's a new variety show I'm in talks about appearing on right now. It's a new variety show, but this time I won't be a guest, I'll be a regular."
