There are many parents who come to the school to watch the party. Of course, there are also elderly people. In the era without TV sets, listening to the theater is a kind of rare entertainment enjoyment, so hearing the familiar sound of gongs and drums, many The old man and the old lady are very happy.

In this excerpt from the opera, Xu Ning's character is the princess of Liao, and Mr. Zhou's character is Yang Silang.

Xu Ning thought that she would be stage fright before, but she waited in front of everyone to realize that there was nothing to worry about. This is a party, a lively place, and all the students participating in the performance today, even if you can’t sing. Well, most people are just playing fun and don't be strict with a child.

During this week, with the help of Teacher Zhou and Teacher Yan, Xu Ning also learned a little about the posture of drama. Naturally, there is no way to compare with those famous opera artists. Under the performance of this young girl, many old people present were also overjoyed.

This is the advantage of age. Some people don't like to listen to opera, but if they see a little doll singing on the stage like a decent, even if they don't like to listen to it, they have to join in the fun and have fun.

Xu Ning stood in front of the microphone. Teacher Zhou saw that the microphone was touching the position of her eyelids. He smiled and stepped forward and adjusted her down. The sound of this small motion caused everyone in front to burst into laughter.

"Teacher Yuan is true too. Why don't you know how to take care of the height of our students." Teacher Zhou raised his head and glanced at the female teacher standing under the podium on the left hand side.

Knowing that Zhou Yan was joking, Yuan Qiuyu, a music teacher in the high school department, bent down with a smile, "Oh, forget this."

Xu Tingjing meditated, cleared his throat, and began to sing with the accompaniment of gongs and drums, holding Lanhua's fingers.

"I was so scared that I was sweaty when I heard him. He only uttered the truth for fifteen years until recently. It turned out that it was the Yang family who changed his name and surname. If he misses his hometown, he will not be reunited..."

Not to mention the classmates in school, even Xie Zheng couldn’t help but froze for a while. This little girl’s voice is really surprising, transparent, clear and smelling. Look around the older adults and those who like to listen to theaters. I had to shake my head, and some even followed the gongs and drums to beat lightly. Obviously they liked it.

"Hunter!" Xu Ning yelled. In an instant, many of the students in the school below burst into laughter. Even Teacher Zhou next to Xu Ning was shaking his shoulders with a wild laugh.

Zhou Yan raised her head and glanced at Yan Meifeng in front of her. Seeing her squinted and almost died of laughter, it was really dumbfounding.

Although it is necessary for the plot, it is also very funny to be called by one's own students to be a messenger. Furthermore, Yang Yanhui is a kind of messenger in the opera.

However, after Xu Ning finished singing the next few sentences, Teacher Zhou also held a fist at the audience in front of the audience with a suffocated smile, and shouted: princess!

"Hahahaha..." The principal of the school sitting in the front and the other teachers slapped their thighs, tears bursting out of laughter.

Comparing other shows with this teacher-student drama duet, they all felt too plain. One sentence of a sorrow, a sentence of a princess, they would not want to be crooked, it was simply too funny.

Both Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Xu like to listen to dramas. Usually there are big dramas in the village. The "best friends" of Mrs. Xu and Gao Xiulan must go to the drama with a small horse, and even have to fight. The fate squeezed to the front, and it was considered an old movie fan.

"Ningning's little voice is really good." Old man Jiang was especially happy to hear it.

"My good husband and I have a lot of kindness. Why should Princess Xian be too modest? Yang Yanhui will be frowning one day, and Princess Xian will never forget the kindness of Princess Xian."

Zhou Yan is just like Yan Meifeng said. Although he is only in his twenties, he is also a senior fancier.

The teachers and students sang you and me in duet on the stage, and the people listening to it were so lively.

Even people who don't like to listen to the opera are very serious. After all, the people who sing in the opera are all they know in reality, not those who are thousands of miles away or don't know the grass team.

"Song Ying is far away from this road, how can you pay it back overnight!" This passage is very fast, and Xu Ning dare not make any negligence.

"Song Ying is a long way apart, so I can get back overnight." Teacher Zhou also calmed down and tried hard.

"Suitable for us to make our vows, you should also show your wishes to the heavens~" Xu Ning's singing was over, and the applause below suddenly rose.

"Okay!" The principal in front simply stood up and applauded vigorously.

Some of the fans in the audience were also very enjoyable, even if they just sang so casually, there are many flaws, but how much can they demand when looking at the beautiful and charming girl in front of them?

If Xu Ning's skills were really comparable to those famous opera artists, he would have been picked away by others.

The two bend over here to thank them, and then walk off the stage. Teacher Zhou sat down in the front corner, while Xu Ning was looking for her family on the spot.

"Ningning, here." Xu Jianjun stood up and waved at his daughter.

Many students and parents followed Xu Ning's figure, and then saw Xu Jianjun.

Looking at Xu Jianjun's decent dress and spiritual appearance, they felt that it was normal for such a handsome father to give birth to such a beautiful and lovely daughter.

There was no place here anymore. When Xu Ning came over, Xie Zheng got up and gave her a place.

"Brother Zheng, sit down, I can rely on my dad."

"There are still two or three hours to go away. How tired you are squatting on the ground." Xie Zheng said: "Sit here, I'll go to Zhou Tao."

"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Xu Ning did not continue to decline, and Mr. Jiang moved and let Xu Ning sit down between Qin Xuejuan and Mrs. Xu.

Qin Xuejuan took her daughter's shoulders, "My daughter is awesome, she doesn't sing too much."

Leaning in his mother's arms and smelling a faint scent from her body, Xu Ning felt a little ashamed at this time, "Just don't embarrass you."

"Don't be ashamed." Old man Jiang looked over and gave her a thumbs up, "The little girl is very powerful, and I will have a couple of episodes with Grandpa in the future."

"Okay, I will go home and learn a few more passages and sing with you." Xu Ning nodded happily, "How about Shajiabang?"

"That's good, grandpa sings really slippery."

Gao Xiulan waited weirdly for the old man to smile and said, "You are also very slippery when bragging."

Lu Xuejiao in the crowd kept twisting her clothes with her hands clasped, twisting her clothes to become deformed.

Her main purpose today is to watch Xu Ning’s jokes, but the more she listened just now, the more uncomfortable her heart became, especially when she received so many applauses, it made her feel that these applauses were slaps on her face, embarrassment and humiliation. Let her almost leave.

As time passed by, the show gradually came to an end, and a lot of people were there. Now, in winter, it usually starts to get dark before five o’clock in the afternoon. Many families have people waiting to eat, and there are also people left behind. All the whole family came to the party, so there is no need to worry about going home late.

After six o'clock, this year's party came to an end. Not surprisingly, the opera performed by Zhou Yan and Xu Ning teachers and students became the most popular show tonight.

"Next, please invite Teacher Zhou and classmate Xu Ning to come up to accept the award."

Xu Ning stepped onto the podium, and then the principal brought the prizes to the two of them, "I didn't expect Teacher Zhou to also participate this time. The prizes are all prepared for the students, so you can just do it."

Teacher Zhou laughed and said, "What kind of teacher's student, this is what we won."

The prize is a stationery iron box and a notebook with a small lock, of course, also with a key.

Xu Ning took it and bowed to the principal to thank him. On the contrary, Teacher Zhou was holding the prize, a little bit dumbfounded.

"I really can't use the locked notebook. I don't have any secrets to write." Teacher Zhou gave the prize to Xu Ning after joking. , We will continue to work hard in the future."

"...Thank you Teacher Zhou." Seeing that there was another set in her hand, she thought about waiting to give it to Zhang Meng. She didn't need so much.

Then came the usual headmaster's speech, and the whole school began to leave after half past six.

"Xu Ning, you are really too arrogant." Zhang Meng didn't know where he got out, holding Xu Ning's arm, "I saw that man's face is really ugly, don't mention it."

"What are you talking nonsense." Before Xu Ning could answer, a woman next to her raised her hand and patted Zhang Meng on the back.

Zhang Meng stuck his tongue out and said to Xu Ning: "This is my mother."

"Hello, auntie." Xu Ning said hello to the other party, and then gave her a set of prizes in his hand, "Let's have one."

"Give it to me? You are so generous." Zhang Meng was a little surprised holding the prize.

"One set is enough, I can't use so much." Xu Ning didn't care, looked at Zhang Meng's mother next to her, and smiled at her. "Auntie, Zhang Meng and I are good friends. Besides, this is a prize. I bought it, don't talk about her."

In fact, Mother Zhang really wants to reprimand her daughter. This child has no points, so you can take it if they give it to you? Do you still know that you are ashamed?

But seeing Xu Ning say this, she didn't have the embarrassment to say what she said, "I have it at home, this is the prize you won. What do you do for her."

"Zhang Meng is also good to me, I am happy to share with her."

Mother Zhang saw Xu Ning's little watery appearance, coupled with the kindness of her own daughters, which was also rare in her heart.

"Big girl, you girl is so sensible."

When others praised her daughter, Qin Xuejuan was naturally happy, but she couldn’t behave too much. She just said modestly: “The eldest sister’s daughter is not bad. I sent a lot of seafood to our home this summer. I really like it. ."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Meng's mother waved her hand. "My family is by the sea. Every summer, their brother and sister go to the sea. They bring a lot of seafood when they come back. If they like it, I will give it to you next year."

"Then I won't be polite with my eldest sister." Qin Xuejuan smiled heartily: "I will come to my house with Zhang Meng when I am free in the future."

"This feeling is good."

It didn't take long for the two mothers to have a lively chat. Xu Jianjun smiled at Zhang Meng's father and said, "Women can talk together if they get together."

"Not really."

The two families separated at the fork in the road, and the two mothers seemed to be reluctant. They both invited each other to be a guest at their own home, so that everyone around them shook their heads and laughed.

Zhang Meng led his younger brother to walk home with his parents, "Tomorrow New Year, and the day after tomorrow I will find you to do my homework."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xu Ning nodded, "Come with your brother."

"No, he is very naughty." Zhang Meng rubbed his brother's Mao Cun, and refused, drew the little guy's reluctant retort.

New Year's Day, the Chinese New Year in the Gregorian calendar, although not as important as the Spring Festival, it should be lively.

Wake up early in the morning, the old lady carried a feather duster and cleaned around the house, while Xu Jianjun carried a broom to clean the yard and the door of the house. Qin Xuejuan had a growing belly, and now she hardly does anything, just sits around. The baby clothes are all cut by the old lady, and Qin Xuejuan only needs to sew them with a pedal sewing machine.

At first, Qin Xuejuan didn't know how to do these things. The pedal sewing machine at home was also bought a few years ago. The old lady used it very quickly as soon as she bought it. On the contrary, Qin Xuejuan learned it with her mother-in-law for several days.

Xu Ning finished washing, and said to the old lady: "Grandma, let's kill a chicken."

"I killed a big **** yesterday and it was hanging in the lane." The old lady confessed, "Do you cook at noon?"

"Yeah, I'm on holiday, you just relax a little bit, I will do it." Dig a little out of the cream bottle, apply it on the face, then wipe the hand, it smells fragrant, "By the way, my space has expanded. , It should be two mu of land now."

"What did you do?" the old lady asked curiously.

Their current population is one and a half acres per capita, but their granddaughter now has two acres of land.

"I don't know." Xu Ning was also very curious about this, but he didn't catch the rules. "One mu of vegetables is enough for us. What should I grow on that mu of land?"

"You can't grow grain." Qin Xuejuan said, "Otherwise we can't take it out and thresh it, so people can see that they are suspicious, and it is better to plant fruit trees."

The old lady naturally thought of this, and agreed: "Your mother is right, I will plant some fruit tree seedlings for you when the spring starts, so that we won't have to buy fruit to eat in the future."

"Okay, listen to you."

Around ten o'clock, the Xu family began to busy with lunch. Today, we have to cook a few more dishes at noon. It is a year or so, and the evening is still making dumplings.

The old lady squatted at the door of the kitchen, holding a heavy kitchen knife in her hand, chopped the chicken in front of her, and left two chicken legs separately, thinking that the daughter-in-law and granddaughter would eat a chicken leg. Enjoyable.

"Our two pigs are really fat." Xu Jianjun tidied up and came in from the outside carrying a broom. "Mom, are you going to kill the pigs?"

"Don't worry, let's kill after Ningning's holiday, sell one and share one with your Uncle Jiang. This year they will want half a pig. Our family has a small population. When the time comes, we will have some sausages. We can't eat them before."

When Xu Ning heard it, she stood at the door of the kitchen and said, "I will come to the enema and bring it to the space. It is estimated that it will be done in three or two minutes."

The old lady murmured suddenly: "Your space is really wrong. People can't get in and Piggy can get in."

"...Well, it's pretty weird." Xu Ning agreed with a smile.

Xu Jianjun turned his back to the two of them, and it was very hard to endure them.

His aging mother is also true, what is the difference between pigs and pigs.

"Dad, if you have time for your fish fry, I will put it in the spring's eye."

Xu Jianjun asked, "Can the water still be drunk by then?"

"I don't think the problem should be big. After all, this is space." Xu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't grandma also say that there was no water in the well during the drought before, and did you drink even the muddy water? I am comparable to that river water. much better."

"That's what I said." Xu Jianjun also felt that he was trying to figure out. His daughter was right. That's space. Whoever heard that people have land and springs in their bodies must have been made by unknown forces. I don't even have this ability, "I try to make it as soon as possible, maybe we can eat it during the New Year."

"Yes, the fish raised here will be particularly delicious." Xu Ning said with a smile.

The old lady helped Xu Ning prepare the food to be made at noon, and she was watching the cooking pot and granddaughter cooking.

Xu Ning's technique is very neat, and the seasonings are all ready-made at home, but the dishes they cook are exceptionally delicious. The old lady discovered that Xu Ning uses space water for cooking, which is also one of the secrets.

In the past, she felt that although she had no worries about eating and drinking, she was still uncomfortable. Not only was she afraid that her daughter-in-law would leave her son and granddaughter one day, but because this granddaughter was so capable, she didn’t care about everything except dressing up. Stinky.

Now it's different. The old lady feels like stepping on a cloud all day, and she feels light and fluttering. She never asks for the wealth of her family. As long as the children are healthy and healthy, she will be satisfied without worrying about eating and drinking.

In the kitchen, the scent of food gradually wafted out, and Xu Jianjun was directly hooked in.

Seeing the girl’s good cooking skills, he felt it and said, "It’s better to find Ningning a son-in-law in the future. My girl is so good, and I really don’t want to marry her to someone else’s house and serve the other family’s son-in-law. ."

Xu Ning laughed dumbly, but this idea was quite good. She was just listening to it as a joke.

The old lady rolled her eyes at her son, "What kind of bad idea have you come up with? From ancient times to the present, how many good son-in-laws do you have?"

Reprimanded by his mother, Xu Jianjun said silently, "Haha, don't be angry, mom, I just said casually, we will definitely let Ning Ning marry to a good family in the future, her husband loves her, and her parents-in-law are harmonious."

"I'll use you to say it." It's hard for the granddaughter to follow the same path as her own daughter.

Xu Jianjun leaned at the door of the kitchen, smelling the smell of chicken floating from the pot, and swallowed a mouthful of water. "However, a good mother-in-law like Mom is hard to find. Look at the aunts in our village..." Suddenly he lowered his voice." Just now I went to the supply and marketing agency, and happened to ran into Aunt Haiping scolding to buy sesame oil, saying that her daughter-in-law broke a bowl this morning, ah."

When the old lady heard it, she hurriedly said: "Chapter is safe, broken is safe."
