Chapter 397 The troupe is here
“Sister, this is not okay.” Shiliu frowned, “What if you don’t move more? I said you look a lot fatter, listen to me, sis It is good for you to walk more often after breakfast and dinner every day, even if you just walk around the yard a few times.” If you are very obese, it is easy for you to have difficulty giving birth.
Hearing this, Li Xiangli also straightened her expression, "I listen to you."
She is not a lazy person, she is married, her husband loves her, and her sister is considerate. With the maids waiting on me, I really had nothing to do. I got used to being idle.
My sister has a lot of experience, and what she heard is correct. She just needs to move around more every day, and she won't get tired.
Pomegranate was worried after all, so she couldn't help but called Lianqiu and Lianqiu Niang to give them careful advice.
After eating, Pomegranate went out with Li Xiangli. With a belly of four months, it didn’t matter if she went out shopping.
I didn’t go far, so I strolled along a street and then went to the Meng family’s ceramics shop to take a breather.
When his wife and sister-in-law arrived, Meng Dongsheng quickly looked at his daughter-in-law up and down to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her brother-in-law being so nervous about her eldest sister, Pomegranate nodded secretly.
On the other hand, Li Xiangli was looked at by Pomegranate and felt very embarrassed, "I'm fine. I feel very energetic when I go out for a walk like this. Pomegranate said that I should walk around more every day. I always stay there." Sitting and lying around at home doing nothing is not good for my health.”
Meng Dongsheng listened and glanced at Shiliu, "Sister-in-law is right, then just listen to her. From now on, let Lianqiu accompany you for a walk in the courtyard every morning. When I come back in the evening, I will accompany you again. I’ll take you for a walk in the alley.”
Li Xiangli nodded, smiling softly.
Pomegranate looked at it and smiled knowingly.
——
On the early morning of the 19th, everyone in the city rushed home and returned to Xiahe Village at noon.
The village has become lively. In front of Shiliu's house, the clever women in the village are busy preparing for tomorrow's formal banquet. Tonight, every family in the clan will also have a meal.
Chicken, duck, fish and meat were all bought by Li Jihe and the Li Rongsong brothers at the market. The condiments were also brought back from the city by Qian'er Zuo Cheng and the others. Even the bowls and chopsticks, this time There is no need to borrow from each house, it is very abundant.
When Pomegranate entered the door, he saw Mr. Li coming towards him with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, "Pomegranate, what about the troupe?"
Shiliu's face fell, "Grandpa, I'm really sorry, none of the troupes in the city are free tomorrow -"
"Huh?" Dad Li couldn't help but be disappointed, but when he saw Shiliu, he also looked guilty. With an embarrassed look, he laughed quickly, waved his hands, and said nonchalantly: "If there is no troupe, there won't be one! Let's just have fun tomorrow! It doesn't matter. Grandpa doesn't want to see you angry. , ah, don’t lose your face, just smile, you look good when you smile!”
Seeing that her grandfather was obviously feeling bad but still smiling to let her not take it to heart, Pomegranate couldn’t hold it in anymore, so she immediately He laughed and said, "Grandpa, I lied to you! The troupe will be here in the afternoon! We will sing twice tonight to make it fun first!"
"Really?" Dad Li was overjoyed.
"Really! It's the Hong Family Class in Fucheng, which is very famous!" Li Rongzong on the side answered.
Father Li didn’t know whether he was in the Hong family class or not, but when he heard that he was from Fucheng, his eyes widened. He looked at Shiliu again and couldn’t close his mouth, "Okay, okay, okay!"
< br>"What about that? Pomegranate, you go back to the house and have a rest first. I'll go out to see what the banquet will be!"
With that said, he walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
"Grandpa must have been shouting all over the village." Li Rongzong said in a tone of understanding that he was not surprised.
No need to be surprised at all. Sure enough, after eating pomegranate and going out at noon, many children from the village came running to her house to ask her if there was really a troupe from the city.
Pomegranate smiled and answered that it was true.
The children all clapped their hands and jumped away.
Not even half an hour later, the village entrance was filled with old people and children playing, all looking in the direction of the village entrance.
Dad Li was also sitting among them, talking to the old guys and looking forward to it.
Seeing this, Shiliu shook her head and laughed. She turned around and continued to work with her clan uncles. Later, when the troupe came, they would sort out where they would set up a stage to sing.
At tomorrow's banquet, everyone in the village will come to the banquet, except for relatives and friends. She doesn't want to take advantage of the rule that only two people from a family can come to the banquet, so everyone comes! lively!
Both children and girls can sit down and have wine!
Therefore, this table is indispensable, and it cannot be set up anywhere else. The village road on the inside of Qinghe Workshop is just right, and it is also here that the whole village has a family reunion dinner during the New Year.
As for the opera troupe, they set up a stage outside the village ancestral hall, and they will eat and watch the opera tomorrow. How fun is that?
The troupe had not yet arrived, but the Tian Li family, the He Li family, and the married aunts of the Li family, such as Li Chunhua and Li Chunxiang, had arrived.
There are many aunts in the clan, but not all of them have come back. At least the daughter of patriarch Li Yishan and the aunts in Li Yixin’s room have all come back.
Everyone will go back to their natal families to live first. As for the Tian Li family and the He Li family, they will live in the old house separately, as well as the Li Jifu and Li Jigui families, both of whom have empty houses.
Not long after, everyone at the entrance of the village arrived at a motorcade, and saw a red and yellow flag on the car.
Dad Li squinted and grabbed the person next to him, "Is that the troupe here?"
Patriarch Li was literate. When he saw the three characters "Hong Jia Ban" on the flag, he nodded and said: "Yes! The theater troupe is here!"
"Oh oh oh, the theater troupe is here!" The children swarmed. Go up.
The theater troupe was surrounded by a group of children before they got to the stone bridge. Leader Hong was also funny. The people in this village are so enthusiastic.
Zuo Cheng squeezed through the crowd, welcomed the troupe, and went to the living room of Qinghe Workshop to rest for a while.
“My girl wants to sing a few songs first tonight, Leader Hong, is that okay?”
"No problem! I'll let them set up the stage!" Leader Hong readily agreed.
Miss Li is very generous. She gave me a lot of money this time. I think she will be rewarded if she sings happily.
I heard that the imperial edict was enshrined in the village ancestral hall. It was an honor for the Hong family to sing in front of the plaque inscribed by the emperor!
Look, they have to work hard to sing this play and make the name of the Hong Family Class louder!
It was getting dark, and every family in the village had their dinner early and moved their stools to the village temple to get a good seat.
Various families in the Li clan also came to Shiliu's house to have dinner and help clean up. The elderly and children also came to the village temple first.
Soon, the stage in front of the village ancestral hall was crowded with people sitting or standing. In addition to people from Xiahe Village, there were also people from Tianbao Village behind Shanghe Village opposite, and even Qingshan Village in front. Baba, who is not too far away, came running.
Listen to the show! What a rare thing this is!
It’s not like going to the city during the Chinese New Year to listen to the music once and for all.
They can hear the stage performance in Xiahe Village from beginning to end today!
Dong-dong-dong-dang-dang-dang-dang.
The theater troupe is singing.
