Now that there is not much work to do in the village during the winter, the educated youth simply get together and organize activities such as storytelling, singing, and reading.
Shi Liu happened to come across this time, so she decided to just take a look. You wouldn't know until you see it, but it's shocking. These educated youth really do have some special talents. Even Liu Tiantian, whom she always looked down upon, has a good voice.
Liu Piaoxu, as a modern person, was the most generous and was the first to stand up: "I'm good at dancing, who among you can accompany me?"
Qiao Hongbin responded very naturally: "I can play the harmonica, and Su Youcai can play the violin. Wait a moment, we will go back to the house to get the instruments."
Liu Piaoxu said flatteringly, "Wow, harmonica and violin, you can't tell you're all professionals! Who else wants to come up and dance with me? We can just pick any one, no need to be so particular."
Hearing this, Shi Liu's heart was moved. She had never performed before and was curious about whether she could try to go on stage. After all, everyone's level should be about the same, so no one would laugh at her and say, "Add me in."
"Wow, Shi Liu, you can actually dance!" Deng Yue was extremely surprised when she saw Shi Liu raising her hand. In her impression, village girls were all honest and decent, and had nothing to do with such elegant things as dancing. Of course, Shi Liu's temperament did not look like that of a village girl, but she was still surprised. Deng Yue believed that she was not the only one who was surprised.
"Yeah, I didn't realize you could dance. Who did you learn dancing from?" Pan Jinlian was not pleasant the moment she opened her mouth.
Shi Liu's mouth twitched, but he didn't bother to pay attention to her foul mouth. "If you want to work in a factory, you need to take an exam first. I'm not afraid of the exam, but a rural girl like me with no connections has no way to learn about the exam. The first step to becoming a worker is blocked, let alone the rest."
"I accidentally learned that the army would sometimes come to the city to recruit art soldiers, so I followed some teachers to practice. However, there was no proper venue, so I just practiced casually. If I happened to come across an art soldier recruitment opportunity, I would have some chance of getting in."
Deng Yue and the others looked at Shi Liu with admiration. "Those who plan before taking action are wise men." Shi Liu was definitely one of those wise men. To practice dancing just because of some seemingly plausible news, that showed extraordinary initiative.
Zhou Yan, who had been silently observing Shi Liu, finally recognized her at this moment. Her intelligence was indeed worthy of his younger brother. Perhaps he was really worrying too much. How could the master of that family be interested in a naive and innocent girl with only beautiful looks?
Then, looking at the jealous Liu Tiantian, Zhou Yan nudged the back of his teeth with his tongue. Although there weren't many educated youth at the educated youth site, there were quite a few. Not only Liu Tiantian, but even the graceful Liu Piaoxu had her own problems. It was a pity that his future sister-in-law was being targeted by two women. It was truly unfortunate.
Liu Piaoxu was a smart person. After missing her first shot, she probably wouldn't do anything else. But Liu Tiantian was quite a headache. If he hadn't been keeping an eye on the two of them, she would have put the report letter at the Pigeon Club. Fortunately, he switched the report letter midway. Otherwise, with Shi Liu's outstanding looks, it would have been difficult for her to leave the Pigeon Club cleanly.
Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed slightly at the thought. If the Pigeon Club hadn't been so preoccupied with its own affairs recently, he would have wanted to make Liu Tiantian feel the pain of being reported. After all, the other party had a lot of secrets. However, if he hadn't investigated the two female educated youth, he wouldn't have known that Zhou Pan had actually dragged his net here. Fortunately, he was cautious enough, otherwise such a big mess would have definitely gone wrong.
Qiao Hongbin and Su Youcai came out quickly, smiled at each other, and started playing music.
Liu Piaoxu was in high spirits. She grabbed Shi Liu's arm and dragged him onto the stage, then began to dance on her own.
Honestly, before Liu Piaoxu started, Shi Liu was quite worried. She wasn't worried about her own performance, but rather that Liu Piaoxu would come up and do a tango with her, which would be a real surprise. Fortunately, Liu Piaoxu's dance was standard and not too radical. Shi Liu breathed a sigh of relief and moved in sync with Liu Piaoxu. She had to admit that Liu Piaoxu was quite capable of taking the plunge.
Liu Piaoxu looked at Shi Liu's smooth dance moves, raised her eyebrows, and deliberately sped up her dance.
Shi Liu raised her eyebrows, and became interested for once. She quickened her dance steps and even added some difficult moves.
After the song "Twinkle Red Star", Liu Piaoxu's impression of Shi Liu became even better. Although she was proud, she also respected people with real ability. In the past, Shi Liu was just a person who would be reincarnated, but now she regarded her as a person with real ability. From then on, Liu Piaoxu was polite to Shi Liu every time she saw her.
Shi Liu was not used to it at first. After all, the person who had secretly despised him suddenly started smiling at him. It seemed abnormal no matter how he looked at it.
Deng Yue hugged Shi Liu's arm with excitement: "Ah, Shi Liu, you know, you were so beautiful when you were dancing just now. Under the hazy moonlight, you were like the fairy Chang'e dancing gracefully. I was mesmerized by you--" Why isn't she a man? If she were a man, she would definitely marry the beauty home.
The male educated youth looked at the pomegranates and willow catkins with red faces, and it was obvious that they were all very shy.
Tsk, most men of this era are still quite innocent. Shi Liu smiled with a hint of malice, then suddenly froze. She seemed to have been infected by Zhou Pan. She never had such thoughts before. Under the old man's ladylike education, no matter whether she was pretending or not, Shi Liu was usually a gentle and kind lady from a noble family.
How did they get together in the first place? Oh, maybe it was because of the divination she had brought up, or maybe it was the rebellious aura around Zhou Pan that had moved her heart and she nodded in agreement to his pursuit.
Lately, she'd been thinking about Zhou Pan more and more. Could it be that he was actually in this world? Shi Liu shook her head and denied her suspicions. The Zhou family's young and promising head, now still unsure of how to behave, wouldn't he be here?
Under the same night sky, a handsome man covered his chest with his right hand, a smile escaping his lips. "Shi Liu, you haven't forgotten me!" Originally, he had a long lifespan, and it was indeed impossible for him to reincarnate so early. However, he found his father-in-law Bai, and with his help, he followed Shi Liu into this world. The judge's claims about Shi Liu's lifespan not yet ending and special compensation were all lies.
However, he will help Shi Liu get the compensation she deserves. After all, they can't have worked in vain. (End of this chapter)
