"I have a solution, but it's a bit annoying. I'm afraid if I get angry and someone sees me, what will I do if they beat me up?"
"You really have an idea, haha. I knew you had an idea, elder sister. I made the right choice to find you."
The old village chief was leading the way, with a smug look on his face that said, "I knew it already."
The clan leader's wife also nodded.
"Yeah, it's really uncomfortable to walk and take the bus every day, and we don't want to be a burden to young people like this.
If there is a way to make us stronger, we can do it.”
"Well, this is because you asked me to find a solution. If you get scolded or beaten, you can't blame me!"
Several old ladies in the women's village agreed with full energy.
"Don't hit me, sister, just tell me quickly."
"Let's go, let's go rehearse now. From now on, we are the Sunset Red Seniors' Famine Refuge Group."
"Oh, what's the Sunset Red Famine Refuge Group? I don't understand, but it sounds like the sun setting."
"Aren't we the group of people like the setting sun? We are already old, but we can still be as bright as the rising sun as children.
Speaking of children, they also have children's groups and they practice all day long.
We are a bunch of useless old people. If we don’t do something, our lives will be in vain.”
A group of people were discussing and were taken to a wasteland by Wen Bibo.
He also called over several people in the village who could sing and play the erhu to provide accompaniment.
"Grandma, what are you calling us for?"
"Hey, you guys, Hei Mei, do you still remember the songs your sister taught you?"
"Of course I remember." Hei Mei nodded proudly.
The old lady smiled even more kindly.
"If you remember, then find a few more friends. From now on, I'll give you a chance to show your talents."
"Okay, okay, grandma, I'm the best at showing off."
The black girl looked at the old lady with a convinced look, which made the old lady feel a little guilty...
Before long, the accompaniment band was finally formed. A group of old men and women stood in a row below, and the black girl sang a song at the top of her lungs.
Everyone around here, please come up and play the erhu, qin, or whatever...
Outside, all the people who were still training or taking literacy classes were stunned by the movements of the Sunset Red Senior Group.
Xiushui widened her eyes and pulled her aunt's hand.
"My grandma, my grandma...my grandma is amazing..."
Wen Ruzhu puffed out her little chest proudly.
"Of course my mother is the most powerful. If she wasn't, how could she have given birth to me when she was almost forty years old? But that old man is such a scoundrel. He made my mother give birth to a child at such an old age."
So, the strength of women lies in giving birth at an advanced age? My dear, your concept is still wrong.
"Bend your legs, raise your hands, kick your legs, swing your sleeves..."
The old lady was happily living like an old duck as a group of ducks swam under the bridge in front of her house.
Below, a group of old men and women shyly but mechanically followed her gestures.
The movements were a bit stiff and awkward at the beginning, but gradually, they became more flexible one by one.
As the fifth quack-quack sound sounded, everyone swam like ducks, swimming happily and joyfully.
Outside, the children and grandchildren watched the dancing of the elderly refugees and it took them a long time to shut up.
"My old lady is surprisingly so agile. She would have been unable to quack after walking for a long time, but now she is twisting and turning in the wild, pretending to be a duck, and she has become a lively duck!"
"My old man is the same. He walked a distance to the back today and kept saying he couldn't go on and was about to fall down, and asked us to help him walk.
Look now, the old duck leading the team is him!!"
“Guga…Guga…”
This devilish voice, as well as the various kinds of Qin music that were heard in the wild wind, actually attracted some refugees from the periphery to come over.
I looked at a group of old men and women dancing wildly in the wind, each of them stretching their necks, but I couldn't understand what they meant.
"Hey, this... young man, may I ask, are you old men and women... possessed by evil spirits?"
The young man who was asked: How can I explain the fact that my old man can’t even walk anymore, but now he can stand up by twisting and swinging?
It was Xiushui who quickly explained and made amends.
“Well, it’s mainly because of the recent plague, and some people in our group have also contracted it.
Our old lady looked at the bowl and said that if we all do the Red Dance together, we can drive away evil spirits and evil."
"Oh, I see. That's great. You guys can also pray for blessings for us. We want to be blessed, too."
"Of course, I'll tell the old ladies in a moment to ask them to recite the words 'bless you' when they recite the verses.
What’s your name? I’ll let them talk about it later…”
Then, the man happily reported his own name and the name of his family, and ran back in small steps with a look of secret joy.
That would be like picking up a huge benefit from heaven.
After Xiushui finished explaining, she turned around and saw a group of people listening attentively.
She chuckled apologetically.
"Ahem, ahem, everyone who has classes should hurry up and go to class. Well, Changxuan, you have to give a lecture today.
Remember, when you teach people to recognize words, you have to make sure they can remember them deeply, have a memorable impression, and make it interesting.
Just like the cultural lesson I taught yesterday, it has to be integrated with the story, otherwise it won’t be interesting and people won’t remember it.”
Changxuan nodded.
"I understand. I know the story has to fit together. I've also remembered your nonsense teachings. Next time someone asks us old people what we're doing, I'll just say we're doing a prayer dance for the gods to bless us all."
Everyone nodded. "Yeah, yeah, now we don't have to find a reason. Hehe, we can just pick up what's already there and use it.
No wonder the old village chief and Uncle Qian both said that if you follow the Wen family, you will never fall."
"That's right, since we are not smart, we have to follow the smart Miss Xiushui to lie and tell lies."
Xiushui: You don’t have to tell me I’m talking nonsense in front of me. I’m a young girl, don’t I have any dignity?
After a round of square dancing to escape the famine, the old lady regained her energy.
Wen Bibo, after fleeing famine for nearly a month, finally formed her own team and successfully advanced to become the only lead dancer.
Moreover, it also has a team of singers who provide exclusive handmade accompaniment.
"My team is becoming more and more glorious, my responsibilities are becoming more and more important, my life is becoming better and better, and my escape from famine is becoming more and more energetic... What is the plague?
Do I have ducks to count?
What does it matter if my children and grandchildren are unfilial? I have a big bridge to sit under to cool off.
I have children, grandchildren, and a dedicated team. From now on, I am myself, a unique New Cobalt Green Wave."
