As soon as Sister Xia mentioned it, Su Yuanyuan took the opportunity to introduce the two parties.

"Yes, Sister Xia, she is the sister I told you about. This is my mother, and this is my brother, Qiu Sheng."

She also introduced Sister Xia's family to her family.

"Mom, Guoguo, Qiusheng, this is the head of the cultural troupe, Sister Xia."

Guoguo and Qiu Sheng greeted him politely.

Sister Xia smiled and nodded at them, then took the initiative to extend her hand to Liu Fangzhi, "Hello, Auntie, my name is Liu Qingxia."

Liu Fangzhi nervously held the hand that Sister Xia extended to her, and smiled nervously but flatteringly, "Hello, Leader!"

This determines the future fate of the youngest daughter, who may very well become Guoguo's future leader, so she must perform well.

Sister Xia waved her hands and said, "I am the younger aunt. Yuanyuan, call me Sister Xia. Please don't call me leader! Just call me by my name, Qingxia!"

Sister Xia was genuinely friendly with Su Yuanyuan, so she naturally treated Liu Fangzhi with great respect.

"How can this be possible..." Liu Fangzhi was very hesitant.

Finally, Su Yuanyuan nodded at her, and she agreed, "Okay, I'll call you by your name from now on."

I agreed, but I didn't really say it out loud.

Sister Xia didn't pay attention to these and took the initiative to introduce her family to her.

She pointed at her husband who was sitting aside chatting with Xu Jianli, "That's my husband, Tong Qingshan. You can call him Qingshan."

Liu Fangzhi nodded.

Sister Xia pushed her son out again and said, "This is my son, Tong Tong. Tong Tong, say hello to grandma."

The ten-year-old boy has a pair of bright and clear eyes, his skin is tanned to a healthy wheat color, and he looks very strong. Although he has a girl's name, he looks like a real little man.

He was also very well-mannered. He was not at all shy in the unfamiliar environment and greeted Liu Fangzhi with a simple, "Hello, grandma."

There was no need for her mother to teach her, and she immediately greeted everyone, "Hello, two aunts, hello, uncle, hello!"

At such a young age, he can already understand the relationships among all people so clearly that the adults who greeted him couldn't help but marvel and praise him.

The children enjoyed it very much, but they all seemed to be quite calm and steady, not being surprised by praise or criticism.

Sister Xia was very proud of her son, knowing that he was still thinking about going out to play with his friends. After greeting him, she no longer restrained him and said, "Go play with your friends, but don't play too crazy. Come back early to have lunch with your Aunt Yuanyuan."

The child ran out almost immediately, and when he ran to the yard, he heard a response from afar, "I know, Mom!"

Sister Xia cursed with a low laugh, "This brat!"

There was no trace of anger on his face.

This made Liu Fangzhi, who had planned to comfort the child by saying "Children are just naughty, don't take it to heart", stunned for a moment.

If it were her and Su Qiusheng, Su Qiusheng would definitely be beaten for being so reckless in front of strangers. Or in other words, in the village, any child who did this would be beaten.

She was amazed at how lenient Sister Xia was with her children.

Thinking of the way Tong Tong greeted everyone in the room so openly before, I don't understand how such a lenient mother could raise such a well-behaved child, and how such a well-behaved child could run out and act crazy at will?

So contradictory.

Isn't it that being well-behaved and steady requires years of beatings? But if a child is beaten, would he still dare to act so unruly?

Liu Fangzhi seemed to be lost in thought, and unintentionally, she plunged headfirst into topics such as family education.

After leaving Xiaohe Village, her horizons have gradually broadened. As her environment has changed again and again and she has gained a lot of knowledge, her whole person has also been changing slowly and subtly.

The others didn't notice that she was distracted. After she sat down on the sofa in the living room, they exchanged a few rounds of greetings and the topic soon turned to Su Guoguo.

Sister Xia was also impatient, and she was not at all picky. She took the lead in asking about Su Guoguo's situation, "Are you interested in singing, dancing, or playing musical instruments? By the way, your sister said that you can dance with a sword. How about we go to the yard and you show it off first?"

Su Guoguo first glanced at Su Yuanyuan, and seeing encouragement in her eyes and an expression of waiting for her to perform, she knew that her sister wanted her to fight for it herself again.

Su Guoguo felt a little nervous, but not anxious.

She felt Su Yuanyuan's trust, and inexplicably, she felt more calm about what was to come.

Su Yuanyuan never mentioned it, but she knew that no matter success or failure, her sister would not be disappointed in her, and she would continue to encourage her to try anything new, as always.

She imitated Su Yuanyuan's usual way of interacting with others and stood up to answer calmly, "I'm not very good at singing or dancing, but my sister found me a musical instrument teacher. I've been learning this week and have prepared a song in advance. Can I show it to you first?"

She added, "But if you want to see the sword dance first, I can show you first."

Sister Xia was surprised and asked, "You prepared a song in advance?"

She smiled at Su Yuanyuan with a sidelong glance, as if reproaching her. "Your sister is so tight-lipped! She didn't let me know a single word yesterday!"

Su Yuanyuan smiled, "Isn't this a surprise for you~"

Sister Xia smiled cheerfully, "Okay, it's a surprise, come on, let me hear it!"

Regardless of the level of this last-minute cramming, just looking at the dedication, Sister Xia was really surprised.

Su Guoguo gave a heads-up in advance, "I learned it hastily, I hope you don't mind."

Sister Xia waved her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I know your situation, don't worry."

In this way, Su Guoguo's mentality became more stable.

She took out the war drum she had brought from the city early in the morning, and took out a long flute and hung it around her neck. She stood upright in front of everyone, bowed, and spoke.

"I'm going to play a piece of music that combines war drums and flutes. It was composed for me by my instrument teacher, Mr. Li Xinyan. It's called "The Curtain Falls."

After the introduction, Su Guoguo turned around and stood behind the drum, holding the drumstick with both hands and taking a deep breath.

Suddenly, the drumstick fell heavily on the drum, as if a war had begun.

After a moment of blankness, the drum beats that followed became faster and faster, with a strong rhythm at first and then a weak rhythm...

Finally, the sound of the drums gradually faded, and in the silence of the room, the sound of a mournful flute rang out.

The sound of the flute makes people feel sad. Before their eyes, there are scenes of tragic devastation after the war...

In just one week, Su Guoguo practiced day and night, and only just managed to complete this piece of music without any mistakes.

Playing the drums was relatively simple, as she had some talent for rhythm, her limbs were coordinated, and she had strength. But when it came to playing the flute, she found it really difficult.

At one point, she blew so hard that her lips became numb and her head became dizzy...

It can be said that she had no playing skills in this whole piece, and it could not even be called proficient.

But she performed it perfectly.
