At the village entrance, or rather, the open space at the market entrance, a clearing has been created.
The benches that were moved from the school were neatly arranged on the ground.
Master Lu and Master Qian, along with their families, also came out to watch the play.
"Let's light a bonfire here, and another one behind it."
Wu Jiahu, the village chief, was very responsible. Fearing that everyone would get cold, he lit several bonfires nearby and added firewood for free.
Hehe, this year is a prosperous year, the village's finances are doing very well, and he, as the village chief, can finally hold his head high!
"Village chief, everything is ready!"
The villagers were overjoyed; they were pleasantly surprised to be able to watch a play tonight.
Wu Jiahu nodded and said repeatedly:
"That's good. After this play is over, arrange for someone to deliver the gift to me. Be gentle when they throw it, don't hurt the main character~"
"Oh, I know~"
After the villagers finished their work, they went home and carried their elderly parents out to listen to the opera.
Of course, clothes and a fireplace are indispensable~
Wu Jiahu stroked his specially grown beard and thought:
In previous years, there was no preparation, but this year, with interest, he wants everyone in Haitang Class to benefit and receive rewards!
As villagers heard the commotion, they began to take their seats under the stage.
The crowds were bustling and coming in an endless stream.
The actors on the stage are now performing the opera with even greater dedication.
Those behind the scenes also hurried to put on and change their makeup, and no one was impatient or complained.
"Hurry up, everyone! Show the audience the spirit and energy of our Begonia Class!"
The troupe leader seemed to be getting more and more energetic, and of course, some white hairs were starting to appear on his head.
Who can escape the passage of time?
"have!"
With a single call, everyone responded. Although the Begonia Class doesn't have a hundred people, it now has forty or fifty.
This sound almost made the people on stage shout along.
......
"Selling melon seeds! One copper coin a bag, smells amazing!"
"Selling candy figurines!"
"Selling hot water! One copper coin for a pot of water, piping hot!"
"Selling maltose!"
"Selling peanut brittle!"
"Selling brown sugar water and eggs!"
"Selling wontons!"
"Selling rice candy!"
"Selling purple sweet potato rice rolls!"
"Selling velvet flowers!"
"Velvet flower, let me see, how much is this red one?"
"Five copper coins in a pair, three copper coins in a single item~"
"I'll wrap it up for you. It looks really nice. My daughter will definitely love it."
"Okay~"
......
The small shops in the market that had been closed have all opened again, now decorated with red lanterns.
The children who had just received their New Year's money all gathered around.
Wenwan and her younger brothers also gathered around, very generously—
"Take whatever you want to eat, it's on me!"
"Thank you, sister~"
"Sister, you're so nice~"
Poor Wenxuan and Wencheng, if they had even graduated from kindergarten, they wouldn't have been fooled.
She got scammed out of her New Year's money by her older sister, and then her sister treated her to a meal, all the while praising her sister to the skies.
The three sisters-in-law were all amused, which also made their mother-in-law laugh.
Jiang Yue smiled, and she was immediately recognized.
"Look, it's the Princess!"
"And the Junior Tutor~"
"This humble citizen—"
"Stop! We're all from the same village, we're all here to listen to the opera, this kind of thing doesn't apply."
“Everyone, listen to my mother, sit down and listen to the opera.”
Keep it low-key~
Jiang Yue had no intention of dining and dashing, nor did she intend to use her power to oppress anyone.
After calming everyone down, she found a corner spot, and the family sat in the front and back rows, gradually becoming engrossed in the conversation.
You sang well!
Before, I listened to opera without understanding its meaning; now, I am a character in the opera.
The play performed by the Begonia Troupe was truly excellent.
No wonder he's becoming more and more famous.
Before they knew it, the play ended, and then many villagers took things and threw them onto the stage.
On the stage, all the actors, including the male, female, painted-face, and clown roles, bowed to express their gratitude and did not try to avoid them.
If you look closely, you'll see that what the villagers threw away were red envelopes, flowers, and various kinds of food.
Those unaware of the situation might think it was a disturbance, but in reality, it was a simple act of generosity by the villagers.
This is an affirmation of the hard work of the performers on stage.
Sure enough, the troupe happily cleaned up the stage, and for the next act, they put on a great show with all their might, performing martial arts moves, somersaults, and other stunts...
The cheers and applause from the audience grew louder and louder.
Once the show begins, it can't stop!
This lively scene continued for five or six performances, until late into the night. Feeling cold and tired, after the last act, the troupe leader led his entourage in taking their bows, and the grand opera finally came to a close…
See you next year, or we'll part ways...
The Haitang Class has made a promise with the people of Wujiaji.
"Phew~"
The three children were all sleepy and nestled in their parents' arms.
Xu Miaoyun touched her belly, wondering whether her child would be a boy or a girl next year.
Yes, it would be great if she were like my niece, so smart.
Oh no, if she's too smart, won't she be seen as the dumbest?
"What's wrong? Are you sleepy? Or do you want me to carry you?"
Qingyun deliberately slowed down, falling behind his family by a distance.
He saw the complicated look in his wife's eyes and thought she was envious that her nephews and nieces had someone to hold and carry them. He misunderstood.
"It's okay, go home quickly, I'm sleepy."
Xu Miaoyun shook her head. Yun Que was still looking back in front, so she was too embarrassed to get on her husband's back.
"Um."
Qingyun nodded, his eyes filled with doting affection...
He's been having a dream lately, a very strange dream.
In his dream, he relentlessly pursued another girl who had no face, and it seemed that he did many heinous things in order to get her.
Ultimately, he was tortured to death by the other woman's husband.
When he woke up, his heart ached terribly, his eyes stung, and endless regret welled up inside him.
How could he fall so deeply in love with someone else?
No, his heart can only hold one person, and that person is his wife.
Xu Miaoyun.
"My dear husband, could you take me to the market tomorrow? I'd like to eat some candied hawthorns too."
As Xu Miaoyun walked, the hair ornament in her hair swayed gently, looking absolutely beautiful.
"good."
Qingyun squinted, admiring the scene.
"I want to eat the roast duck here; I heard it's the most authentic one!"
"Okay, I'll take you to your uncle's house to try it tomorrow."
"Huh? My uncle's house?"
"Yes, my uncle opened the first roast duck shop in Anqing Prefecture, and he's the creator of roast duck..."
Why didn't you say so before?
"You didn't ask."
"......"
The young couple flirted and chased each other for a while before returning home...
