Chapter 32
Director Zhang's words directly pulled the emotions of the "masses" out of the situational stage.
"Hello, leader!" Greetings came one after another.
Lu Qin let go of his hand when he heard the voice, and turned around to see several leaders standing at the door. He didn't know how long they had been standing there watching. Surprised, he subconsciously looked at his brother-in-law. At that moment, he didn't even understand what his brother-in-law's expression meant.
Lu Qin recalled the events of the day and confirmed that he had not offended him. He felt relieved instantly and secretly turned his wrist. The main reason was that Comrade Qin had struggled too hard just now, and he almost couldn't hold him when he was caught off guard.
Taking advantage of the gap, he took the time to quickly tidy up his clothes.
Qin Shi's right hand hung down, and her wrist was still slightly sore. Sun Juan saw her daughter as soon as she entered the room. In front of everyone, especially the leaders, she suppressed what she wanted to say.
Director Zhang had already led them over and couldn't help but praise them, "Comrade Xiao Lu, you guys are moving pretty fast! Not only is it fast, but you're also performing really well!"
It was so good that this group of people could not tell that the traffickers and the victims were strangers. It was chilling to think that this was how traffickers took people away.
Lu Qin reached out and shook his hand, a bright smile on his face, not wanting to take all the credit. "Hello, leader. This rehearsal is the result of the joint efforts of all the aunts, Comrade Qin, Comrade Wu, and I."
Upon hearing this, the people participating in the rehearsal behind him immediately had a much better impression of Comrade Lu. Wu Ming even looked at him in surprise.
Director Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone! I've discussed it with your Chairman Yang and we'll give you a snack at noon! I've asked the chef to make you some braised pork."
Suddenly, voices of "It's what I should do" and excited "Thank you, leader" rang out.
Wow, Lu Qin suddenly felt that dedicating himself to acting was more meaningful. "Thank you for your concern, leader."
After calming down again, Director Zhang expressed his inner curiosity, "That smile at the end wasn't in the script. Comrade Lu, you added it, didn't you?"
Inexplicably, that last smile gave Director Zhang an indescribable feeling in his heart, but he felt that it added something to the scene and made it more perfect.
Lu Qin hadn't expected that he had noticed that smile, so he slowly began to explain, "Leader, it's like this. That smile is ironic. Our stage play is, on the one hand, to teach the public how to identify human traffickers, and on the other hand, to tell the public not to impulsively become the driving force behind human trafficking. It's precisely because of the instigation of certain people that these traffickers have become more rampant. I even feel 'grateful' for their help. When the female comrade asked for help, she found that even ordinary people had become the traffickers' accomplices. The pain in her heart..."
After he said this, a group of people looked at the young man in surprise. When they recalled the stage just now and the so-called enthusiastic participation of the masses, they were really chilled.
The so-called "enthusiastic help" in your mind is not help, and you may even be an unintentional accomplice.
Director Zhang once again looked at the young man in front of him. He remembered that he was only in his early seventeens, and praised him, "You three young comrades are all excellent!"
"Thank you for the praise, leader, for serving the people!"
There is more than one situational stage performance, and they still need to rehearse in the future, so Director Zhang will not disturb them.
Chairman Yang saw him out, and the others followed behind.
Lu Qin took the opportunity to sneak over to his brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law,"
Kong Yue's hair stood on end and he looked away.
He just whispered, "Can you lend me your lunch box?" His brother-in-law had a big appetite and a big lunch box. He would never miss a piece of meat if he didn't eat it. Besides, he was still thinking about Kong Dongdong. He didn't have such a good uncle.
Kong Yue: “…”
Seeing that he had no objection, Lu Qin took it as his agreement.
Kong Yue walked quickly to Qin Mingzhi's side. Qin Mingzhi glanced at him and said something that made him angry, "Lu Qin's cleverness is really put to good use. He acted so convincingly. Otherwise, we wouldn't have arrested the wrong person in the first place, don't you think?"
Kong Yue: “…” He started his daily educational reflection activities again.
After the break, they returned to the simple rehearsal room.
As soon as the leader left, the women started chattering like crazy, with bright smiles on their faces.
"Comrade Xiao Lu, I didn't realize you were so capable!"
"Yeah, when you were acting just now, I totally ignored your face."
Lu Qin praised her generously: "Aunt, you guys acted very similarly, you are all very talented!"
These words immediately made them happy. Who doesn't like to hear compliments?
Someone said, "Hiss, human traffickers are so scary." That's it, who can recognize them?
Regardless of whether anyone recognized him or not, Lu Qin's hands felt a little sore, and he caught a glimpse of Comrade Qin reading a script in the corner.
He walked over to Comrade Wu Ming and said, "Comrade Wu Ming, please explain the script to the aunts."
Wu Ming was lowering his head, but he raised his head immediately when he heard his voice. He saw a simple inquiry in the young man's eyes. He felt complicated for a moment. This person with less education than him could think faster than him. If he was not convinced, he would have nothing left.
At that moment, Lu Qin suspected that he was hallucinating. Why did he feel that Comrade Wu Ming lowered his head?
This was indeed the case. He said, "Okay, Comrade Lu, you take a rest for a while. If you need to perform later,
He added with difficulty, "I can act, too."
Lu Qin tilted his head back, not realizing what was happening. He caught a glimpse of Comrade Qin turning to the next page, so he raised his left hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work!"
After saying this, Lu Qin put one hand in his pocket and walked through the crowd to Qin Shi's side. His eyes accidentally fell on her wrist. There is a saying that "force is mutual." Moreover, lesbians are generally more fragile than gay men.
In order to play the role of a human trafficker well, he kept holding Comrade Qin's hand, and used various actions to deal with her struggles. In order to make it realistic, he used real strength.
Suddenly, a pair of black flat shoes appeared in front of her. Qin Shi raised her head. Perhaps because her movement was too big, the pigtail on her shoulder slid in front of her shoulder armor.
"Comrade Lu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lu Qin was caught red-handed before he could even take his eyes off her hand. He felt a bit embarrassed. But he had been through embarrassing things before, and this one was no different.
However, when he looked up, he discovered that Comrade Qin had two dark pigtails when she came, but now the pigtails seemed to have been stimulated and had a lot of fluff!
Was the performance that intense just now?
But it seems that the wrist is more important.
He cleared his throat and said, "Comrade Qin, I'm sorry. I grabbed your hand too hard just now. You..."
He pointed at her wrist and turned it gently, "Are you okay?"
Qin Shi was still unaware that her hair was messed up. It was because he had acted so well that he had brought her into the role. Her bright eyes had flushed red with anxiety and only now turned red. When she heard his greeting, her gentle voice suddenly became a little hoarse. "It's okay. I can continue acting, but you have to wait until I finish reading the script first."
At first, Comrade Lu held her lightly, and later he used force because she struggled.
His voice was hoarse, but he still said it was okay. Lu Qin scratched his brow with his index finger and said, "Don't worry about this for now. Wait a moment."
Qin Shi turned and left after hearing him say this. A moment later, she returned with an enamel cup in her hand. "Comrade Qin, moisten your throat. I asked Director Sun for this cup. It's clean, don't worry!"
Director Sun is Qin Shi’s biological mother.
Her voice was also sacrificed for this stage play. If it weren't for her, the leader might have seen a chaotic market scene when he came. He felt that he needed to thank her.
Comrade Qin took it and said, "Thank you, Comrade Lu! I'm free for the rest of the day and can continue to help." She was very happy to be able to help others.
As for the message conveyed in her mother's eyes just now, it was purely out of concern for her.
When Lu Qin heard that she wanted to continue helping, he didn't look reluctant and sighed. In this era, there is really no shortage of people who are willing to help others.
The words "I'm so sorry" were on the tip of my tongue, but they became, "Thank you, Comrade Qin! If you want more water, just tell me!"
Qin Shi curled her lips and said, "Okay."
In total, the play has four scenes, with three more to come.
Lu Qin stood on the steps again as a cheerleader, "Aunties, let's continue!"
"Good!" After being praised by their leader, they are now very enthusiastic.
With the first show as a start, subsequent rehearsals became much easier.
Comrade Wu Ming also participated in a performance, but was criticized by a certain aunt for being too stiff. Lu Qin stood leisurely below, watching the show.
We worked hard and rehearsed four shows in one afternoon.
During this time, someone quietly handed a cloth bag to Lu Qin. Lu Qin took the bag and looked down, confirming that it was the lunch box he was familiar with.
He was about to say something, but the man hadn't left yet. "Public Security Officer Kong said this lunch box is quite large, so you should be careful."
Lu Qin wanted the big one. He guessed his brother-in-law wanted him to eat less, "..."
At 5:30 in the afternoon, a dozen people crowded towards the canteen.
Before entering the door, Lu Qin smelled the familiar aroma of braised pork.
He had almost forgotten the braised pork Zhu Hong and Li Xiang had treated him to, but the aroma rekindled his physical memory.
The Women's Federation's small canteen is not often open for cooking. It was originally built just to provide a place for the staff to sit down and eat.
Therefore, most women who are used to bringing lunch boxes brought theirs today.
They are all basically the same aluminum lunch boxes.
Aunt Liu was the first one to chat with Lu Qin in the morning. She was holding a lunch box and was worried. "Comrade Lu, if you have a lunch box, I will go home. My house is nearby, and I will bring one for you!"
Lu Qin fully understood the enthusiasm of people of this generation and said, "No need, Auntie, I brought my lunch box."
As he spoke, he took out a large round rice bowl from his cloth bag and said, "Look, this is mine."
A big round rice bowl with peonies on it.
When the rice bowl came out, Aunt Liu looked down at her own bowl, then at his bowl or bowl. After a long silence, she said only one sentence, "Little comrade is still growing, you need to eat more."
Lu Qin admitted, "Yes, I have a big appetite."
After queuing, they soon reached the window. Lu Qin peeked inside and saw braised pork, steamed buns, cabbage and tofu, braised radish, a vegetable soup and a tray of boiled eggs.
He handed over the rice bowl and said, "Auntie, give me some more."
Aunt Zhang, who was serving rice, took the rice bowl. When she heard the young man's voice, she looked up and saw a handsome face. Her eyes were almost glued to the braised pork. She held the rice bowl, which was twice as big as the others, and steadied her shaking hands.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
When it was Wu Ming's turn, the aunt who was serving the food took one look at him, her hand trembled, and half of the food was gone.
Wu Ming: “…”
Qin Shi was playing with an enamel pot. She hesitated for a moment and sat down next to Lu Qin.
Hearing the noise, Lu Qin looked back. The small enamel pot couldn't hold much. "Comrade Qin, you eat so little. Look at mine."
Especially when the two are placed together, they look like they belong to an adult and a child.
Qin Shi compared them and finally said silently, "This is enough for me, but Comrade Lu, you are still growing, and you need to use your brain and physical strength, so you naturally eat more than us."
