"Thank you." Shen Xuening and Shen Baohong sat on the sofa.

The director asked, "Just now the security guard told me that you are going to visit the elderly in the nursing home? How are you going to do that?"

Shen Xue Ning had naturally thought of the rules before coming: "Are there any elderly people in the nursing home who have birthdays recently?"

The dean flipped open a booklet and said, "What a coincidence! An old lady will be celebrating her 85th birthday the day after tomorrow. Are you planning to celebrate her birthday?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "Yes, we will set up the venue tomorrow, and celebrate the old man's birthday the day after tomorrow. At that time, we will order a big cake, buy some food and drinks, and invite opera singers to sing a few pieces."

The suggestion of singing opera was made by Shen Baohong. They have a drama troupe here. Of course, people nowadays don't like to watch opera, so the troupe was disbanded. Besides, they are quite old, in their fifties or sixties. But if someone invites them, they are still happy to sing a part, after all, it is also their interest.

The director was very happy to hear this: "Looking at you, you must be serious. The elderly in the nursing home are not very happy. I hope you can bring them some happiness."

Shen Xue Ning said: "We think so too."

The director nodded: "That's settled then. The nursing home staff and I will cooperate with you."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Okay, then we'll come back tomorrow."

The director personally escorted Shen Xuening and the others out of the nursing home: "I'll wait for you tomorrow."

"Okay." Shen Xue Ning responded.

……

Shen Xue Ning said to Shen Bao Hong: "Let's go and invite the opera troupe now."

Shen Baohong said: "If we want to hire a troupe and have them perform for a day, it would cost at least three thousand yuan..."

"It's okay, three thousand is three thousand." Shen Xue Ning could accept this price. In fact, she also wanted to see an opera, which was something only the rich and powerful could watch in ancient times.

"Well, you are a rich man." Shen Baohong said secretly. If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to spend three thousand to hire a troupe.

The two of them discussed and came to the market, where the owner of the opera troupe used to live.

The owner of the class was drinking tea in the teahouse, and the two of them met the owner under the guidance of others.

The boss was a short, fat old man in his fifties, with a greasy head and no hair left. But he always smiled at everyone and seemed easy to get along with.

After hearing about the purpose of the two people's visit, I immediately agreed. There is too little entertainment in winter, and it would be good if I could perform a play.

The price, time and location of the performance have all been decided, and the next step is to set up the venue tomorrow.

After returning home, Shen Xue Ning talked to her family and decided to invite everyone to watch the show. The money had already been spent, so wouldn't it be possible to earn more if one more person watched?

In addition to family members, Shen Xue Ning wants to invite everyone in the village to come and watch and have some fun.

Grandma Shen pulled Shen Xue Ning aside and whispered, "Ning Ning, it must have cost you a lot of money to hire a troupe, right?"

"Three thousand yuan. It's already been negotiated." Shen Xue Ning told the truth.

"Three thousand yuan?! That's too expensive." Grandma Shen thought for a moment and said, "Take me with you. I know him and can ask him to give you less money."

Shen Xue Ning said quickly: "Grandma, no need. We have already discussed it. It is not good to regret it. Besides, they are very tired after singing for a whole day."

Grandma Shen felt heartbroken when she thought about it: "I just feel sorry for you for the money. Three thousand yuan is just for a day of performance by the troupe. It's really a big loss."

Shen Xue Ning took the opportunity to say, "Grandma, when it's your birthday, I'll also invite a troupe to come to our house and sing for a day to liven things up for you."

Grandma Shen waved her hands: "Don't waste that money, I don't need it."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "Yes, yes. I will definitely treat you when the time comes, so that people can brag about our grandma having such a good granddaughter. She even invited a troupe to celebrate her birthday."

Grandma Shen was coaxed into laughing: "It's already very good now."

Shen Xue Ning said, "We are just starting over now. When your business gets bigger and you make more money, I will hire a big troupe for you and invite people from all over the country to come and watch."

Grandma Shen laughed: "If you have a lot of money, save it and don't spend it recklessly."

Shen Xue Ning coaxed: "I know, I know. We will listen to grandma. We will never waste our money in the future."

……

The next day, Shen Xuening and Shen Baohong went to the county town to buy birthday gifts, and then went straight to the nursing home to start decorating.

The dean and staff also came to help with the arrangements.

The troupe owners are also moving things here. In their eyes, opera performance has a soul, and the stage must be well built, which means the foundation must be well established.

The elderly people in the nursing home were happy. They helped with chores within their ability and stopped talking at the door. They talked and laughed, showing more vitality.

Miao Hua, an 82-year-old woman in a nursing home, has three sons and two daughters, but none of them raised her and sent her to the nursing home: "Ningning, are you from nearby?"

Shen Xue Ning was tying ribbons. Hearing this, she said, "Yes, I'm from Zhongyang Group 3, not far from here."

The old lady sighed: "I am from Group 4. I have lived here for ten years. My son and daughter rarely come to see me. I really want to go home."

Shen Xue Ning felt sad when she heard this: "Mother-in-law, I can't help you with this. I can only buy you some things and show you some shows. I'll go back later and bring you a message so that they can come to see you, okay?"

The old lady's eyes turned red: "Okay, thank you, little girl."

"It's okay." Shen Xue Ning went to get a yogurt for the old lady and put a straw in it. "Drink something. Eating something will make you feel better."

The old lady took the yogurt and took a sip: "This tastes better, better than the one my son bought. I can't drink the pure milk they bought. I told them I can't drink pure milk, but next time they still bought me pure milk..."

Shen Xue Ning asked the old lady to sit on the chair: "Maybe they didn't hear it, it wasn't intentional, don't take it to heart."

The old lady shook her head: "I don't mind, but I feel very upset. It will take many days to recover."

Shen Xue Ning comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll treat you to a play tomorrow. Let's do something happy and put aside the unhappy things for the time being."

The old lady nodded: "It would be great if you were my granddaughter."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "I will come to see you often in the future. You can treat me as your granddaughter."

The old lady smiled and said, "That's great."

Another old lady came over. She was physically disabled and sat in a wheelchair. “Little girl, can I have some of this?”

"Sure, I'll get it for you." Shen Xue Ning immediately got a bottle for the old lady, also inserted a straw, and handed it to her, "Drink it, it tastes good."

"Thank you, my granddaughter doesn't know how to insert a straw into me." The old lady smiled at Shen Xue Ning.

"I will come to see you often in the future and bring you delicious food." Shen Xue Ning comforted.
