Tao Tao and Qu Zhen didn't waste anyone's time. The generous Qu Zhen took the microphone, tested the sound, and then gave Tao Tao a look. As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was naturally melodious, soft and long, with a wide range and free rhythm. Just the prelude brought her into the context of "On the Golden Mountain of Beijing".
Tao Tao's lips curled up into a smile as she imagined herself wearing Tibetan ethnic clothing, trembling with the rhythm of Qu Zhen's voice.
In Tibetan dance, the knee joints of the legs need to have continuous, small, and fast elastic movements. Sometimes, these elastic movements are replaced by continuous, flexible flexion and extension movements.
The trembling or bending steps should move with the body's center of gravity, and the relaxed upper limbs should move along with the movement, with the arms creating a floating feeling with the dance movements.
However, the body should not move the upper limbs intentionally, and there should be no trace of deliberate performance. When they were learning this dance, their teacher also gave a special explanation of Tibetan song and dance culture. When dancing, one should pay attention to a coordinated beauty. Even when wearing military uniform, one should coordinate with the singing to create a beautiful and flowing feeling.
Whether it was because the dance itself incorporated the essence of their Tibetan dance, Quzhen initially sang a cappella, but as she sang, people gradually joined in with her movements, smiling. When the song ended, thunderous applause erupted throughout the audience.
The two girls smiled shyly, and Gesang Quzhen also developed a kind of dependence on Xiaojiu because of this collaboration, similar to the feeling of "when fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears".
Everyone had a great time that night, and even back in the dorm, the roommates were still marveling at their perfect teamwork.
"It's like we rehearsed beforehand. Didn't you hear everyone saying that you two have even more energy than the performance by the cultural troupe!"
Yuan Yuan even went to the dormitory and hugged Xiao Jiu's neck.
"Wow, I didn't realize you could do such a big jump! You've been hiding your talent all along. I had no idea you could not only jump but also do somersaults."
"Not only that, but once Quzhen and I learn Tibetan songs, I'll sing them for you!"
"Look how capable you think you are!"
The girls' dormitory was filled with laughter and chatter, completely unaware that such laughter would only last one night, and that hellish, grueling training would begin tomorrow.
——
After Tang Cuihua and Zhai Sanhe got married, they moved into the family compound of the county public security bureau.
The family compound consists of large, single-story houses, each with a small kitchen. The toilets are public, and the water dispenser is a shared tap in the center of the compound. Fortunately, the house is large enough, 25 square meters. Zhai Sanhe tidied it up and partitioned it into a small bedroom. The remaining area was divided into an office and a guest room. It was cramped, but suitable for the couple.
However, due to their jobs, they could only get together briefly on weekends. On weekdays, Zhai Sanhe lived here by himself, while Cuihua spent most of her time living in the village.
Zhai Sanhe had just transferred to civilian work and needed to integrate into his unit, often working overtime. Both he and his wife had strong personalities, and neither wanted to give up their jobs because of the other, so they usually kept to themselves.
Even though Zhai Sanhe had calculated the distance and felt that the distance to the county town was about the same as the distance to the village, Cuihua was still unwilling to live in the tenement.
One reason is that there are too many people around, and another is that she doesn't seem to be used to being with a man yet.
Before marriage, everything was fine; I relied on my imagination. But after marriage, I discovered that men have all sorts of problems.
Zhai Sanhe's work is usually dangerous, and he's used to living alone, so he's not very clean. Cuihua, although from the countryside, is a clean person. If the two of them get together, shouldn't they make appropriate changes to each other's habits?
Why don't you like going to the city?
Zhai Sanhe has already revealed that he is a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family, so people around him will definitely compare the woman and the man.
If you don't know their family background, just compare their jobs. Zhai Sanhe's salary alone is more than what Tang Cuihua earns for two people. Why should she let him come to her door?
She stayed in the tenement for three days, and not only did she hear all sorts of questioning and doubts, but some people even brought up the fact that her sisters were said to be unlucky for their parents.
These idle old women are really something else. As if they were afraid she wouldn't hear them, they loudly laughed at her by the pool.
So much for the promise that "city people are all well-mannered"? Is this all?
Because Cuihua hadn't left the house for three days, she stayed inside tidying up. As soon as her honeymoon ended, she immediately rode away without any regrets.
Unfortunately, the carefree Zhai Sanhe was completely unaware of the grievances his wife had suffered. He was eagerly anticipating the weekend, but what happened?
Tang Cuihua went back to her own home on the first weekend after her marriage.
When Zhai Sanhe couldn't find anyone, he rode his bicycle back to Xihe Village in the dark. When he saw Cuihua washing clothes in the yard after dinner, he asked her with a puzzled look.
"Didn't you say you'd go back to stay this weekend? It's not that I don't want to go back to the village with you, it's just that your sisters are here, and it's inconvenient for a grown man like me."
“I don’t like living there, and I don’t want to listen to those old women gossiping about me. I don’t want to go there anymore. If you want to come back, then come back. If not, then we can live separately!”
Only then did Zhai Sanhe realize the seriousness of the situation.
"What happened? What did they say again? I'm telling you, those people just can't stand to see others do well. Don't listen to them. If you do, you're doomed!"
"Besides, we've only been married for a few days, and you want me to be a bachelor again?"
"It's only one night a week. I can come back with you on Sunday during the day, okay?"
Even if that tenement is inconvenient, it's still more convenient than being in front of all the sisters, right?
His hint was too obvious. Cuihua blushed with anger, splashed water at him, and growled in a low voice.
"Besides thinking about that, can't you think about anything else?"
The tall man, standing at 1.8 meters, tugged at Tang Cuihua's sleeve like a child who had done something wrong, looking pitiful.
"It's one thing if you haven't tasted it before and don't know what it tastes like, but now that you've tasted it and enjoyed the happiness it brings, how can I think about anything else?"
Tang Cuihua, feeling ashamed and angry, stomped on him, causing Zhai Sanhe to grimace in pain, yet he still wore a fawning expression.
“We’re newly married and we’re already living apart. What will my colleagues think of me?”
Besides, don't you like children? We need to be very close to each other to have a baby, right?
Cuihua looked up at the sky, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, afraid that if she listened any longer, she would want to smash this guy's head.
Finally, she had no choice but to give in to this stubborn man's persistent harassment. Mainly, she was afraid of losing face in front of her sisters. It was already eight o'clock at night, so she rode her bike back to the city with this big, silly guy.
Thanks to the strict discipline he received during his first few days of marriage, this man now knows that he must take a shower, wash his feet, and wash his buttocks before going to bed. If he is not clean, he will not be allowed to climb into bed. He has even developed his own special soap and basin because of this. Whenever his wife is home, he will make sure to clean his "brother" thoroughly before he has a chance to show off.
