Chapter 115 Let's communicate with paper and pen regarding steamed buns.
"Think about it, I heard you like 'The Story of Overtime,' and it turns out you really do!" Master Li looked at Qin Xiangxiang in surprise. She thought it was a misconception. Although her apprentice was quick-witted and sharp-minded, it was doubtful that she was diligent and liked working overtime.
Did she really change her personality after getting married?
Qin Xiangxiang said, "Master Li, please don't misunderstand."
"Hey!" Li Jinling recognized Lu Baizhou, her eyes sparkling. "Sister-in-law, did you see this name on the program list?"
Qin Xiangxiang quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes!!"
"Ahhhhh!!!" Li Jinling grabbed Qin Xiangxiang's hand, and the two sisters-in-law jumped up with trembling hands.
Qin Xiangxiang was deeply moved. Finally, there was someone in the factory who understood her. Li Jinling probably wouldn't be interested in Lu Baizhou this time, right?
Qin Xiangxiang lowered her voice, "It's that chalk mark, but don't make a sound. We can't discriminate against him. We have to keep his secret. Besides, I think he likes that actress in the same team. I really hope that actress can accept his flaw and that they can be together."
Qin Xiangxiang, this little drama queen, also understands the flaws of human nature. She knows that if she belittles Lu Baizhou in front of Li Jinling, it will only provoke a rebellious mentality. It would be better to just point out that Lu Baizhou loves another woman.
In the dream, since Liang Ling returned to Lu Baizhou after being thwarted by Zhou Liangdong, the two of them ended up locked in a relationship.
"Really? They're in love, they look like a perfect match." Li Jinling nodded.
"What are you two whispering about?" Li Jianzhi walked over carrying his daughter. He didn't really want to come over, but he was afraid that the image of chalk would come to mind. He couldn't bear to look at the words "chalk" anymore.
"Li Jinling, go and stay with the others. I need to have a private talk with your older brother."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Li Jianzhi and Qin Xiangxiang stood away from the crowd. Li Jianzhi asked, "What are you talking about again? Chalk?"
Sui Sui: "Chalk tip!"
Qin Xiangxiang: "!!!!!!!"
Li Jianzhi: "!!!!!!!"
The couple were shocked. Qin Xiangxiang quickly took her youngest daughter from her husband's arms, exclaiming, "It's cornbread, cornbread!"
Sui Sui: "Ooh ooh head."
Qin Xiangxiang patted her chest, "You scared me to death! Look at you, you need to be more careful about what you say in front of our daughter in the future."
Li Jianzhi smiled and said, "My husband and I are just feeling guilty. Even if we talk about that kind of thing—like steamed buns—in front of outsiders, no one will understand."
"However—wife, Lu Baizhou might not have cornbread, but mine is the real deal, a big mushroom."
Sui Sui: "Big Gugu."
Qin Xiangxiang: "!!!"
Li Jianzhi: "!!!"
"You damned man, watch your mouth when you talk to your daughter."
Li Jianzhi: "Actually, the two of us are just feeling guilty. The others don't understand anything, so there's no need to make such a fuss."
Sui Sui: "I like ghost men."
Qin Xiangxiang was going crazy: "Aaaaaah!!!"
Li Jianzhi: "You too, watch your words."
The couple exchanged a cautious glance, then, looking at their bewildered daughter, neither dared to speak.
but--
Qin Xiangxiang handed his daughter to him and tugged at Li Jianzhi's sleeve, saying, "I feel like I'm suffocating."
Li Jianzhi: "Let's communicate with pen and paper."
Qin Xiangxiang immediately exclaimed, "Smart!"
"Never mind, it's too slow to get a pen. I'll whisper in your ear..." Qin Xiangxiang whispered in Li Jianzhi's ear, "Those four actors just now, the four whose names I called out, did you notice? The one with the chalk likes the girl inside, and that girl likes the tall man, and that tall man likes the short man next to him. Did you notice?"
Li Jianzhi: "??????"
"What's going on here?"
Qin Xiangxiang: "Observe carefully later! The story outside the play is even more interesting than the play itself."
"These four people are staging an 'overtime story,' which brilliant person came up with that idea?"
Li Jianzhi: "The badger in the melon patch."
As the cultural performance began, Qin Xiangxiang, the factory director, took the stage first to give a speech, "Thank you to the actors from the local song and dance troupe and drama troupe who have come today..."
After speaking, Qin Xiangxiang returned to her seat. The host came on stage to announce the program. Qin Xiangxiang was supposed to sit with the other factory cadres, but she said, "Everyone, please sit with your families. There's no need to divide up so many seats."
"Relax today and enjoy the show."
She, the badger in the melon patch, even chats with her badger husband!
At first, there were music and dance performances, and the little chubby boy could barely sit still. After two or three performances, the little guy looked around and went out to play with the other children from the factory.
Qin Xiangxiang was the same way when she was a child. There were cultural performances at the factory, and the children couldn't sit still at all. They only remembered playing with other children, and the adults would buy them snacks.
After the song and dance performance, an acrobatic show took place. The crowd gasped in amazement as a performer on stage held a stick in his mouth, on which a glass bottle stood upright and spun. The audience watched in terror, fearing the bottle would fall.
The acrobatic performance ended, and the crowd applauded and cheered.
Qin Xiangxiang: "Acrobatic performances are more interesting, don't you think? Little Suisui."
Li Jianzhi: "There will be a piano performance later. Do we need to bring the piano up? Don't we need to tune it?"
"It should have been debugged."
After listening to a piano piece and watching two programs, Qin Xiangxiang finally watched the play "The Story of Overtime Work," which she had been looking forward to for a long time. The play is about a factory facing a crisis and having to work overtime to finish the work. It features the dialogue between four workers and their families.
According to Qin Xiangxiang's evaluation, the story content was so-so, but the good looks and pleasant voices of the performers made it a very enjoyable and entertaining program.
The acting was all quite good, but there wasn't much gossip to be had. It was like the story reached its climax but then abruptly ended, leaving a feeling of emptiness.
Now, this story of "you love her, she loves him, he loves him" has absolutely nothing to do with their family.
That's great!
Qin Xiangxiang felt very relieved and content until the end of the performance.
"Such performances should be held more often in the future. We should also organize our own factory's cultural propaganda team. Oh, and we should also get to know the film projectionist so that he can come to our factory from time to time to show open-air movies and enrich everyone's spiritual and cultural life."
The main goal is to enrich the cultural and spiritual life of this factory director. If she can slack off at work and still get paid, then she absolutely cannot stay in the office all day working. She wants to watch performances and outdoor movies!
"Sister-in-law, the people in their drama troupe are all so beautiful. I was stunned when they performed just now. I didn't notice anything special when I was in the audience, but seeing them on stage was like seeing light bulbs shining. They were so attractive."
Qin Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, "You haven't fallen for someone again, have you?"
Li Jinling: "Sister-in-law, I like the shortest one in the play just now. I think he is the most handsome and speaks very well. I heard that he seems to have trained in dance and has more temperament than the average man."
"If my brother is like the Black Bear Spirit from Journey to the West, then the man on stage is like the captivating and beautiful spirit from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. He's so charming, I want to keep watching his performances."
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
Qin Xiangxiang didn't know whether to laugh or twitch her lips. Li Jinling really had good taste. She either took a liking to Chalk or Xue Haiyang, who was performing this time. But could it be that Xue Haiyang was still entangled with a man?
"My dear sister, you always have such a good eye."
But it's no use, whatever. At worst, she can just go and fight with other men for a man.
Li Jinling works at the textile factory every day now, so she probably doesn't have time to go to the drama troupe to find that man.
"Sister-in-law, let me see the program again. I want to know what that man's name is. He's so handsome."
Qin Xiangxiang said, "No need to look. His name is Xue Haiyang, and his surname is Xue, which means 'sun over the sea'."
"A real name is wonderful! It's as warm as sunshine."
"I thought his name was Ocean, the ocean that's all water."
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
After the drama troupe finished their performance, they stayed overnight at the textile factory and didn't leave until the next day. Before leaving, someone found Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang looked at the handsome and refined young man in front of her, quite surprised: "Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Director Qin, could you help me find out if there are any artists in your factory? I'd like to exchange jobs with him... Does your factory's cultural propaganda team need anyone?"
Xue Haiyang's face showed hope. Now, he had no desire to stay in the drama troupe any longer. The thought of that person's existence made him want to run far away. Being entangled with a man was a shameful thing.
Qin Xiangxiang: "...Our factory doesn't have an arts and propaganda team yet."
Xue Haiyang sighed, feeling disappointed.
"But we're about to form an arts and propaganda team. Don't you want to stay in the drama troupe anymore? Do you really want to come to our factory?"
"Mm." Xue Haiyang nodded. The textile factory with many female workers made him feel safe, at least he wouldn't be coveted by men.
Qin Xiangxiang said, "Then I'll contact the head of your drama troupe. If he agrees to release you, and all the factory employees vote to accept you, you can come and work in our factory's cultural propaganda team."
"This can be considered as specializing in one's own field."
