Chapter 121 120. Does it hurt? Do you want me to rub it?
In the winter in Qingmi County, the ground is covered with ice and snow, and it seems that there is nothing to do except gathering together to warm oneself by the fire.
But there are actually many.
For example, shopping, pitching pots, playing chess, playing cards, drinking tea, listening to books, watching acrobatics, listening to ventriloquism, listening to music, watching plays, etc.
The Lei family is going to the theater to watch a play today.
A famous actor from Xiling Prefecture came to the theater these days. His best song is "The Peony Fate", which tells the story of a young master from a wealthy family who falls in love with a poor scholar. However, his family dislikes the scholar's poverty and wants to marry the young master to the county magistrate as a concubine. The young master and the scholar eloped overnight and finally both died under the Peony Pavilion.
This actor is very famous.
It's not just her face that's lively and clever, she also has a great voice. When she sings, her voice is soft and gentle, graceful and ethereal, sometimes full of resentment, sometimes longing, sometimes crying, sometimes complaining, and the lingering sound lingers in the ears for three days.
This actor would only be in the show for three days, and tickets were hard to come by, but Lei Li was rich and well-informed, so he grabbed more than a dozen tickets in one go, and the whole family went to hear the show.
None of the Lei family had ever been to the theater to listen to a play. At most, they would listen to some folk songs on the street. It was a rare occasion that everyone was there to listen to a formal play, so everyone was in high spirits and put on their most beautiful clothes.
The female members of the family are all very beautiful.
Even my grandmother was embarrassed to say that she was being coquettish at an old age and would be laughed at, but everyone persuaded her to let Nanny Fang do her makeup and style her in the most fashionable hairstyle for old ladies.
Liu Ye'er was dressed the most delicately and charmingly in all these years. Her mature and graceful feminine charm was more eye-catching than that of a teenage girl.
Lei Dashan's eyes widened, and he came to his senses only after being laughed at by his brother-in-law. But when he looked at his wife, a sense of shame appeared on his tanned face, as if he had returned to the days when he was a young boy who had just gotten married.
Sister Huaer no longer has pigtails on her head. Xiaohua has tied her hair into a beautiful bun and put on a pretty headdress, a silver-carved hairpin, which is delicate and playful.
Xiaohua has similar hair accessories on her head, and she and Sister Huaer look like real sisters.
Xiao Liumu is a little man. He doesn't have a fancy hairstyle, but the headband he uses to tie his hair is made of exquisite and expensive silk. He looks like a young master who lives in luxury.
But the little boy was a little shy. When Lei Li praised him and teased him, his face turned red and he hid behind his father Liu Guo.
Lei Li was overjoyed.
But he didn't know that in Zhou Yi's eyes, he was the most eye-catching and attractive one.
His jet-black hair was tied up by him himself, and decorated with a scarlet headband embroidered by him. The scarlet and blue clothes he wore were also put on him by Zhou Yi piece by piece, including shoes and socks.
When she was putting it on, Lei Li stepped on her chest, neither too hard nor too light. She smiled wantonly and cunningly and asked Zhou Yi, "Is it heavy? Does it hurt? Do you want me to rub it for you?"
Zhou Yi thought.
He didn't really want to rub him, he just knew that he was very horny in the morning and wanted to tease him.
Lei Li is always like this.
Not stepping on other places is good enough.
“Ahh…”
The baby in his arms cried out twice, looking at his father with his black eyes, and stretched out his little hands, opening and closing them, as if trying to grab Lei Li's red hairband.
Zhou Yi's thoughts returned to the present. He patted the baby's back, put the velvet-rimmed tiger hat on him, and wiped the saliva from the baby's mouth.
Babies love to spit bubbles, babble, and hum, so there's always a little saliva around their mouths.
The family got in a carriage and went out.
There were quite a lot of people, including Nanny Mu and Nanny Fang, there were a total of eleven adults and four children, so they hired another carriage and divided the group into two.
It’s cold in winter.
There were many vendors walking around the streets, and the shops were decorated with lights and bustling with activity.
The carriage drove up to the theater.
When Lei Li and Zhou Yi got off the car with the baby, Miao Fulang, Xiaobao and Zhang Daqiang had just arrived.
Lei Li grabbed more tickets and gave a few to Miao Fulang, but Meng Luo didn't need him to give any.
Mengluo loves to be in a crowd and has good relationships with people. People gave him tickets without him having to buy them. He went to see the show yesterday, and when he came back he went to Lei's house and kept praising Lei Li, saying that it was really good.
Meng Luo blushed and smiled when he said this, and it was unclear whether he was saying that the person was good-looking or the play was good-looking.
“Ahhh!”
As soon as the baby saw Xiaobao, his black eyes sparkled and he waved his little hands and feet, almost rubbing his tiger hat off.
"Ginger brother!"
Xiaobao was also happy to see the baby, his little face and nose were cute and rosy, partly because of the cold wind and partly because of excitement.
It was his first time watching a play too! And he was watching it with his younger brother, Ginger!
Little Bao smiled with his eyebrows curved. Being held by his father, he also leaned out to hold the baby's hand, "Brother Jiang is here to watch the show too. Brother Jiang is so young, can he understand the show?"
This question was also partly directed to Zhou Yi.
"He still doesn't understand."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "But it's not good to leave my brother alone at home, so I brought him out to listen together. Even if he doesn't understand the lyrics, it's good to just listen to the melody."
Xiaobao thought it was right. Leaving his younger brother alone at home, he couldn't hear the opera or see his father and grandfather. How sad and bored he would be.
He touched his brother's little hand and comforted him with a gentle laugh, "When your brother can understand, Xiaobao brother will bring him to listen again, okay?"
“Ahhh!”
I don’t know whether the baby understood or not. Xiaobao held the baby’s hand and the baby responded to him happily, even spitting out saliva bubbles.
Lei Li was also talking to Miao Fulang at this time, and asked the other members of the Lei family to go in first.
He glanced at the silver hairpin on Miao Fulang's bun. It was made by Zhang Daqiang two years ago, and Miao Fulang had rejected it several times, both openly and secretly. Now it appeared on Miao Fulang's head, the meaning was self-evident.
Lei Li asked mischievously, "Is there going to be any happy events next year?"
"Um."
Miao Fulang felt a little embarrassed and nodded with a red face. "I'll go to the county government office when spring comes, but I don't want to make a big fuss. I'll just invite some close relatives to have a meal at home and just let them know about this."
"I always listen to A Miao."
Zhang Daqiang has just won the heart of the beauty and is now deeply in love with her. His eyes are glued to Miao Fulang and he looks like he will obey him no matter what.
"Okay."
Lei Li nodded and said with a smile, "Remember to invite me when the time comes. I can be considered your matchmaker."
“It’s natural!”
Zhang Daqiang agreed readily. If it weren't for Lei Li's matchmaking, he and A Miao wouldn't be together so soon. Naturally, he had to invite Lei Li and Zhou Yi.
He was also a little anxious.
A Miao is shy and slow to warm up. It took Zhang Daqiang a long time to boil her like a frog in warm water before she finally softened and was willing to be with him. He was afraid that Miao Fulang would suddenly regret it and not want to be with him anymore, after all, the first marriage did hurt her.
Zhang Daqiang felt sorry for A Miao and didn't want to put pressure on him, but at the same time he couldn't wait to register his household and hold a wedding tomorrow so that they could become husband and wife in a legitimate way. So he was very conflicted.
"That's right."
Miao Fulang glanced at Zhang Daqiang before saying, "I plan to change Xiaobao's name to Miao like me, and give him a nice name. I want your husband to help him choose one, as he has good literary talent."
"Miao is a good surname, and the character Miao sounds nice."
Zhang Daqiang quickly said, "My surname is Zhang, which is also the surname of an old beggar. I just picked a name that is easy to pronounce. Let Zhou Yi choose a good one."
"That works."
Lei Li agreed. This was a small matter. "I'll talk to Zhou Yi and make sure he gives Xiaobao a nice name with good meaning."
As he spoke, he became cheerful again. "My baby's name was given by Xiaobao, and Xiaobao's name was given by Zhou Yi. Who knows, maybe our families will really be in-laws in the future!"
"Xiaobao, baby, weigh more!"
Miao Fulang also thought it was a bit interesting. He smiled and said, "It depends on the two children. If they really like each other, it would be nice to have a closer relationship. But Xiaobao is a little older than Baobao."
"It's wonderful to be together."
Lei Li didn't take it seriously. "My husband is so rich, and it's Xiaobao who's the lucky one. It's Jiang's blessing. If he dares to bully Xiaobao, I'll beat him up."
If Xiao Sheng Jiang dares to imitate Xiao Bao's father Niu Dali and commit domestic violence, Lei Li will let him know what it means to "kill the father and keep the son."
Go to the father of "Little Ginger".
—
The show begins.
The singing is really good.
Two long eyebrows are as dark as mountains, and a little red lips seem to want to speak but cannot. She waves her sleeves, hums something in her mouth, turns her slender waist, and a pair of affectionate eyes are sad and gentle, slowly flowing from the stage to the audience.
It was so sad to hear it and it made people cry. Many wives and husbands were sobbing.
Lei Li has a hard heart.
Knowing that the play was fake, he was not moved at all. Instead, he stared at the beauty on the stage with interest, looking at her affectionate eyes and slender waist.
She even gestured with her hands and felt that she could circle it with just one arm, and she was indeed very slender and thin.
Zhou Yi coaxes the baby to sleep.
The baby is less than four months old and spends a lot of time on the phone. After playing with the baby for a while and feeding, he becomes sleepy. What's more, he can't fall asleep on his own and needs to be coaxed to fall asleep.
Zhou Yi didn't get to listen to much of the opera. He had just coaxed his baby to sleep when he looked up and saw Lei Li staring at the beauty on the stage, gesturing at her waist with his hand.
Zhou Yi: “……?”
Zhou Yi stared at him dimly for a long time before Lei Li seemed to realize something. He turned his head and smiled at him, then reached out to scratch his chin like a puppy.
He whispered, "What's wrong? Aren't you listening to the show? Why are you staring at me? Do you want to kiss me?"
“…”
Zhou Yi paused for two seconds before saying quietly, "You seem to be fascinated by the opera. Do you really like it?"
"fine."
Lei Li smiled, knowing Zhou Yi was jealous, and deliberately avoided the topic, "I just think this role is really good. No wonder Meng Luo couldn't forget him the moment he saw him. He heard the opera once yesterday and came to listen to it today."
As he spoke, he raised his chin and pointed to the second floor, "Look, he's watching upstairs fascinated, staring intently. I guess after they finish singing, they'll run backstage to look for someone."
Zhou Yi glanced at him lightly, "Mengluo likes me, why are you looking at me so closely?"
Lei Li raised an eyebrow and said with a frivolous smile, "What? Is my husband jealous?"
