Chapter 222: In Danger, Jiang Xinrou's Revenge (1)
Everything is settled.
Zhou Shuangshuang completed such a difficult task, and she felt unprecedentedly satisfied.
Even more satisfied were her internal organs.
Because she arrived at the perfect time, Liu Xiangmei happened to be treating them to dinner.
So everyone agreed to add an extra pair of chopsticks and let Zhou Shuangshuang join in the meal.
This meal was the best and most satisfying one Zhou Shuangshuang had had in the past year.
Not only are there fish and meat, but there is also white rice.
God knows how many potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn steamed buns she ate.
This kind of white rice is as precious as pearls!
Zhou Shuangshuang had her fill and felt very happy.
When she finally left, it was Yang Rui who saw her off.
The two are from the same hometown, are about the same age, and went to junior high school together.
So when we chat, we get along very well.
In just half a day, they became very close.
This, of course, had a lot to do with Zhou Shuangshuang's catering to his preferences and her deliberate closeness.
Otherwise, with Yang Rui's introverted personality, she is not good at these social interactions.
When Zhou Shuangshuang walked out of the compound, her eyes suddenly turned.
She asked Yang Rui casually.
"Xiao Rui, Comrade Jiang looks so young, she must have brothers and sisters at home, right? Does she have a sister?"
Yang Rui frowned and did not answer immediately.
She felt that Zhou Shuangshuang's question was a bit sudden and strange.
Seeing this, Zhou Shuangshuang hurriedly explained.
"People of our age usually have brothers and sisters in their families. There are very few only children. I'm just asking out of curiosity. I'm really just curious..."
Yang Rui then spoke slowly.
"Actually, I'm not sure. Aning rarely mentions her family. It seems...she has a sister."
"Hahaha, I knew it. There must be brothers and sisters. My guess turned out to be correct."
Zhou Shuangshuang laughed deliberately and pretended to be chatting.
But as soon as my eyelids drooped, I felt more at ease.
It seems that Jiang Xinrou did not lie, the two of them are really sisters.
…
A few days later.
Small mountain village.
It was said to be a celebratory cultural event, but in fact it was just a makeshift troupe.
Choose an open space in the village, pile up a few wooden racks on it, and nail a few wooden blocks, and a small stage is ready.
It was so simple that there wasn’t even a simple background or red satin.
Although the on-site environment was not good, the timing was just right.
On the one hand, the establishment of the school attracts not only children from this village, but also children from other villages, big and small, and it is very lively and bustling.
On the other hand, the autumn harvest had just ended. @
The intense physical labor is finally finished, and it’s time to rest at the end of the year.
The production team was full of young people, and when they had free time, they naturally wanted to find some fun to entertain themselves. The so-called cultural and artistic activities were the best reason.
And there was some truth in what Zhou Shuangshuang said that day.
There was a girl in the production team who could sing opera. She looked to be in her twenties, but she grew up in an opera troupe.
The environment was not good at that time. If you wanted to learn these things, you could only learn them secretly, and you could only earn a little hard-earned money.
Although life is hard, the girl's ability is real.
Before she went on stage, she looked like a quiet and somewhat introverted person.
But once I stood on the stage and opened my voice.
The sound is like that of a lark, which instantly brightens people's eyes.
All attention was involuntarily drawn to her.
"The birds on the trees are in pairs, and the green waters and green mountains bring smiles~"
The girl was not wearing any costume, and her face was a tanned color from long hours of work.
"I picked a flower and put it in my hair with my wife."
The moment when the long and clear melody came out of her mouth.
Her eyes were shining.
One can feel her love for opera from the inside out, and is increasingly attracted to her performance.
A group of sisters-in-law sat on old benches, listening with great interest.
Wang Chunxia is one of them.
She was from northern Shaanxi, and had heard many powerful folk songs and suona music, but she had never heard such a gentle and clear tune.
I found it novel and interesting, but at the same time I was curious about what kind of opera it was.
Wang Chunxia grabbed Jiang Ning and asked, "Sister Ning, what is she singing? Tell me about it."
"This is called Huangmei Opera, a local opera, just like Peking Opera and Yue Opera... The places are different, so the feeling of singing is also different."
Jiang Ning really knows everything.
She spoke eloquently.
"The excerpt we sang was the most famous piece, 'The Fairy Couple', which tells the story of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies."
"Seven Fairies!" Wang Chunxia nodded immediately after hearing this. "I've heard the story of the Seven Fairies. Isn't it similar to the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?"
“That’s about the same.”
Jiang Ning replied.
They are indeed similar. They both tell stories about a poor but hardworking couple who work hard together to make their lives better and better.
Huangmei Opera soon sang the corresponding lyrics.
"From now on, we will no longer suffer from slavery. We will return home together as a couple."
"You plow the fields and I weave cloth. I fetch water and you water the garden."
The man is the breadwinner outside, the woman is the homemaker, and they work hard together to live a happy life.
Isn’t this what the sisters-in-law in the compound are doing now?
So when listening to this piece of opera, the sisters-in-law all listened attentively with happy smiles on their faces.
Jiang Ning sat in the crowd, next to Wang Chunxia.
Because we were afraid that she would be squeezed by others, we chose a seat at the side for her.
It is relatively spacious and quiet.
This way, her round belly can be comfortable.
She listened to the opera around her and the laughter of her sisters-in-law, and looked around with her bright dark eyes.
His eyes moved around in circles slowly, and I couldn't tell what he was looking at.
"The Legend and the Heroine" was soon finished and the crowd burst into loud applause.
"Okay! Okay! Sing one!"
"It looks great! We want to listen more!"
"One more, one more!"
Someone stood up and shouted, and the people around him followed suit.
Under the autumn sunshine, the village is bustling and festive.
Wang Chunxia's eyes slightly
He moved away from the stage and turned to look at Jiang Ning beside him.
I just happened to see Jiang Ning's thoughtful expression.
"Sister Ning, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just looking around."
Jiang Ning shook his head and met Wang Chunxia's excited eyes. She looked happy, which was rare to be seen.
Ask.
"Sister Chunxia, are you so happy?"
"I'm so happy. In our hometown, only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year, there will be opera troupes performing. It only happens once a year, and the whole village will go to listen together. Since I came here, I haven't had such a lively time for a long time. Sister Ning, do you know what's going to be sung next?"
"What?"
"The Red Detachment of Women!"
