old house bird thing

Chapter 35 On Parents

At night, the wind became stronger, but the clouds had dispersed, and the moon came out with a cold light.

A little maid made a bed for Xiangxiang. Although the room was rarely used, the second concubine always made it clean without a speck of dust.

Xiangxiang took a shower, sat at the table reading a book, and the second aunt Shuhui came in with a bowl of sweet soup.

Shuhui patted Xiangxiang's head and said with a smile: "My son is old, it's time to marry a wife."

Xiangxiang swallowed her saliva, and Chao Shuhui smiled and said, "I'm doing revolution now. You know that the current trend among revolutionary youth is 'If the revolution doesn't succeed, don't get married'."

Shuhui couldn't stop laughing, and joked: "Come on, you brat might really want to marry a wife, and you're still pretending here. The master said that you can figure it out by yourself. The condition of the elder’s family is good, so it doesn’t matter if you reject the mayor’s family. But you have to check it yourself, don’t say such silly things like revolutionary youths don’t look after the family status, look at the daughter-in-law married by Liangmo, the dowry she brought is a lot Just to show off, now the master won't let Liangmo take care of the property, but it's enough for him to eat his wife's dowry."

The corners of Xiangxiang's eyes twitched and he said, "This is really... do we have to eat our daughter-in-law's dowry..."

Shuhui stretched out her hand and poked Xiangxiang on the forehead and said, "I'm just saying, I want you to watch it before you take it home, don't make any more...cough, anyway, when you marry a wife and give birth to a son, I will Just relax and help you look after the children at home."

Xiangxiang said: "Actually, I don't really think about... getting married so early."

Shuhui stood up, hugged Xiangxiang's shoulders and said, "Oh, my son, you will know the benefits when you get married and have a son. There is always a caring person by your side, just like I have Just like you, when you get old, there are still people who love you and take care of you.”

That night, Xiangxiang didn't sleep peacefully, and Shuhui's words lingered in his ears, "Just like I have you, when I get old, there are people who love me and take care of me."

In the middle of the night, Xiangxiang sat up suddenly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and a voice in his heart shouted: "No! No! I have to give birth to a son!"

So Xiangxiang, a very realistic citizen, feels that being a woman in the previous life is not as important as having a son to prevent old age.The next day, Xiangxiang said to the second aunt with a haggard face: "Well, I want to have a chance to meet the girl from the mayor's family first, and then make a decision."

The second aunt joked: "Okay, okay, okay, my son is so handsome, I am afraid that I will marry an ugly wife, so I have to see him in person."

In the early morning, there was a slight breeze, blowing the leaves and making a 'squeaky' sound.

Xiangxiang brushed his teeth at the door and took a few deep breaths. The bed in his hometown was really comfortable and warm. After sleeping for two nights, he didn't want to go back to Huangpu again.The little maid at the side stood on tiptoe and wiped the tooth powder on Xiangxiang's face, looked at Xiangxiang's handsome side face and asked shyly, "Second young master, what would you like to eat in the morning? I'll go to the kitchen and get it for you."

"Well, just take whatever you want." Xiang Xiang said.

While sitting in the garden waiting for breakfast, I heard a crisp child's voice counting: "One, two, three... one, two... one..."

Xiangxiang curiously got up to look for it, and saw a little girl in pink kicking shuttlecock under the grape trellis, but she didn't kick it very well, she could only kick three at most, her little face was red with excitement, she was really cute .

"Yanyan." Xiangxiang called her.

This is Du Liangyan, the daughter of the sixth aunt. She saw Xiangxiang, and the shuttlecock fell to the ground. She seemed a little scared, and ran into the house as soon as she turned around, calling "Mother" as she ran.

Sixth Aunt Tai Qinglian came out of the house carrying a washbasin, saw Xiangxiang, blessed Fushen and said, "Second Young Master."

The voice of "Second Young Master" was soft, gentle and kind, which made Xiang Xiang's heart tremble.

"Morning aunt." Xiangxiang said.

Qinglian took a look at Xiangxiang, with a provocative look in her eyes, like an unbreakable love, she held Liangyan's hand and lowered her head and said, "Second young master looks thinner."

"...It's okay." Xiangxiang paused and said to Xiao Liangyan: "Yanyan, let's go have breakfast with brother."

The little girl hid behind Qinglian and buried her face, Qinglian pulled her out and said: "Yanyan, go, have breakfast with brother."

The little girl squeezed hard behind Qinglian, but she couldn't come out at all.

Xiangxiang smiled and said: "Hehe, Yanyan is afraid of life, let her have dinner with the concubine, I will go first."

Qinglian stared blankly at Xiangxiang's disappearing figure, as if she had turned into a statue, and couldn't even hear her daughter calling her. When she came back to her senses, she pinched her daughter's arm anxiously, coldly He said: "Damn girl! Your brother told you to go, why are you hiding? Do this again next time, and watch me unscrew your flesh."

Since Director Zhou arrived in Huangpu, he has made a lot of improvements to the work of the Political Department. Not only has he changed the education curriculum of the old warlords in the past, he has also added a wide range of reading materials in politics, economy, culture, etc., and carried out various activities. The most eye-catching one is a drama club founded by Chen Geng.After watching Chen Geng’s sketches, Director Zhou found that Chen Geng was not only the backbone of the students, but also very good at literature and art, so he decided to set up a drama club and selected the person in charge who was very good at acting and understanding musical instruments from the students. At that time, Xiang Xiangcai found out that Premier Zhou was also a fan of theater when he was young. When he was studying at Nankai University in his early years, he loved drama, often playing female roles, and also director.

After just one performance, the drama club attracted wide attention. The reason why Mr. Liao Zhongkai named it "Blood Flower" came from the red cloth couplets hung by the drama club during the performance: "Blood of Revolution, Flower of Doctrine".On the anniversary of the revolution, or when an entertainment party is held, the Blood Flower Theater Club has wonderful performances in the auditorium of the school headquarters or on the playground.Communist Party members and leftist students accounted for the majority among them. Li Zhilong, Chen Geng, He Zhonghan, Zeng Kuoqing, etc. were all activists.

Both He Zhonghan and Zeng Kuoqing belong to the ranks of young handsome guys, and they react flexibly on the stage, and their acting is very interesting.Li Zhilong looks a bit fat, but he is very dramatic, so he can always play the male lead.On the contrary, Hu Zongnan, the future "General King", is also obsessed with acting, but unfortunately his image is not tall and powerful, so he can only play small roles or villains, like Beiyang military officers and local tyrants, and this young man is nervous when he comes on stage , either forgetting words or forgetting actions.Once, when he played the role of a Beiyang military officer, when he came out, he only had one sentence, but he was so nervous that he completely forgot, standing on the stage, he didn't know what to do; ——" with a sound, he fell down and became the laughing stock of his classmates. Even after many years, the classmates still made fun of him with this scandal.

The most interesting thing to say is General Chen Geng. Once, when the Blood Flower Theater Club was rehearsing the satirical drama "Emperor's Dream", there were no actresses in the Monk Military Academy. General Chen Geng volunteered to play Yuan Shikai's fifth concubine.When the fifth aunt appeared on the stage, there was a burst of applause and laughter immediately, because this "fifth aunt" was really gorgeous.Which male student played it?Many students in the audience couldn't guess.I saw "she" with rouge and powder on her face, with red flowers on her head, carefully holding Yuan Shikai's crown in both hands, walking around on the stage with a "golden lotus" step, twisting her water snake waist, and from time to time she turned to the audience. Winking, giving a glance or something, the audience was amused and laughed.After the performance, the students discovered that it was Chen Geng who played the fifth concubine.

Sometimes, the 'Blood Flower Drama Club' will also perform outside.
