Chapter 7 Just Sing, Don't Act

Plant a millet in spring and harvest ten thousand in autumn.

Spring is here, and the whole Beili Village is busy.Whether it is Uncle He's family with only six acres of land, or the landlord's family with hundreds of acres of fertile land, they are all busy plowing, sowing, and fertilizing.

Two years ago, in order for the only precious grandson in the family to be able to read and write, the He family took ten acres of land from the landlord Li Nengfu's family in Beili Village. It's gone, but the He family still took up this year's field.After all, paying for medical treatment and buying a child bride-in-law almost cost the He family's barely saved silver taels in the past two years.

Every day, the family gets up early, Uncle He and his three sons take turns pulling the plow, Mrs. He sows the seeds, and the eldest daughter-in-law Li Qing follows behind to cover the soil. Serve the ten mu of land leased from Li Nengfu.The second daughter-in-law, Li Juan, had a big belly and stayed at home to take care of the children and cook for the whole family at noon.The He family originally had two meals a day, but Chunzhong was really busy, and everyone was hungry and didn't have the energy to work quickly, so they added an extra meal.

Taking care of the family's livestock, collecting firewood, carrying water, washing clothes and other chores can only fall on He An.There are many and trivial chores, and if you really do them, you will not be able to relax all day, not to mention taking care of Yang Ning, who is "wandering around" all day long.But He An can do it. Not only can he finish chores, take good care of Yang Ning, but he can also help Li Juan with lunch when he is free.

Seeing He An carrying two buckets of water on her shoulders and stepping into the house, Li Juan, who was sitting under the eaves with a big belly and mending, curled her lips and said sarcastically, "It's true that he has barbarian blood. Those who don't know think he is a man!"

The two female celebrities sitting next to her are her two daughters He Liu and He Xing. The eldest daughter He Liu frowned when she heard her mother's words, and said in disapproval: "Mother, what are you talking about!"

The eldest daughter's rebuttal made Li Juan very unhappy: "Why, as an elder, I can't teach the younger generation in the family? They didn't say anything, but you started to blame your mother. Did you learn from others? Others don't recognize their own mother?"

Seeing that her mother was getting more and more outrageous, He Liu wanted to refute, but was stopped by her younger sister, He Xing, who could only stomp her feet and go back to the house with her needle and thread.

"What a white-eyed brat. He dared to talk back before he even said a few words. Would it be the opposite?"

Li Juan's natal family has always been in a difficult situation, even in a poor family situation. Since she was a child, she couldn't do enough homework, let alone learn any female celebrities, and no one in her family knows any female celebrities.On the contrary, the eldest daughter-in-law, Li Qing, has many brothers in her natal family, and as the youngest daughter, Li Qing has also been doted on. Although she doesn't do much farm work, she has won the true biography of his mother's good female celebrity.After marrying into the He family, Li Qing's female celebrity has also generated income for the He family. If Li Juan hadn't been pregnant this year, Li Qing would have stayed at home as a female celebrity and taken care of the children, and Li Juan would have followed her to the farm.

Li Juan's two daughters' female celebrities were also taught by Li Qing. Li Qing has only one child, He Ning, without a daughter, and he doesn't mind passing on his skills to the two daughters of his brother-in-law's family. It's also good to get along with these two children.But from Li Juan's point of view, if she does all the dirty and tiresome work on weekdays, her doll will actually kiss someone else. Naturally, Li Juan will feel uncomfortable in her heart, and it is inevitable that she will develop resentment over time.

Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the front yard, Yang Ning sat quietly on the ponytail, bent over and took a branch to practice the words he knew yesterday on the ground, as if he didn't feel the discordant atmosphere around him.

In the past two days, he has basically stabilized his work and rest schedule. He gets up at about seven or eight in the morning every day, jogs from home to the river, walks around and then returns home to wash, eat breakfast, and then set aside an hour Review the words you can read two days ago, and then listen to "Little Tail" sing for an hour.After eating at noon, I have to sleep for an hour, and the afternoon is spent wandering around, getting familiar with and understanding the new environment, and observing the folk customs and customs here.

It's not that Yang Ning insists on being lazy and doesn't want to work. It's that the He family loves the eldest grandson as much as they can. Not to mention working in the fields, no one will let him do chores at home, even if they are right Even Li Juan, who was dissatisfied with Li Qing, would not provoke Yang Ning, that would be tantamount to touching the He family's Nilin.Faced with such doting, the original body of a child will probably grow crooked sooner or later.

After completing the daily calligraphy task, Yang Ning threw away the branch, stretched his waist, crossed his arms behind his head, leaned against the tree, squinted his almond eyes and found the "little tail" who was about to wash clothes .

As a competent little tail, He An never forgets to pay attention to Yang Ning even though he is doing chores.Seeing him looking towards me, and then thinking about Yang Ning's behavior and demands in the past two days, he understood: So it's time to listen to the show!

After thinking about it, without dawdling, he directly took the wooden basin and small mat for washing clothes, sat next to Yang Ning, and sang softly while washing clothes.

He An remembered that on the second day after he sang an opera for Yang Ning for the first time, Yang Ning took him to the stone by the river and beckoned him to sing.

At that time, He An was very happy. He felt that Yang Ning liked to listen to his plays. He felt like meeting a bosom friend for a while, thinking that he must show him the best part he knew.So, the young man pinched his orchid fingers, set his posture, his eyes became sad, his neutral voice sang, and his extremely flexible body matched his frailty and charm.

The young man sang very intoxicated, but when he saw the only audience in front of him, his expression changed from initial surprise (? frightened) to more and more tangled, and finally he couldn't bear to look directly and turned around!

He An was shocked and stopped.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stopped, Yang Ning turned around and frowned at him, obviously with an expression of disapproval.This time, He An also behaved well, and sang his play in a proper manner, but the grace just now was missing from his voice.

Yang Ning's reaction reminded him of the reason why he was abandoned by the theater troupe: He An's alien blood made his facial features more profound than those of the Central Plains people. So he arranged for him to learn the singing and steps of the female character.But who knows, as he grows older, his appetite increases, his height also jumps up, and his appearance becomes tougher. To make matters worse: his skin is suddenly severely allergic to the paint on his makeup.In the worst case, not only was her face covered with rashes, but she also had difficulty breathing and had a fever for two days.In this way, it was tantamount to cutting off He An's development path in the theater troupe. Although the troupe owner had spent a lot of effort on him, he was unwilling to continue such unreturned investment, so he planned to sell him.

He An could understand Yang Ning's reaction, and also rested his thoughts about performing in front of people in the future, and saw that Yang Ning just asked him to sing and had no other requirements. Even if he sang while doing chores, the other party didn't care.

Because of Yang Ning's stupidity, he doesn't mess around with petty emotions, and doesn't have so many right and wrong, He An gradually let go of him a lot, and sometimes whispered to him what was in his heart, how he cared for Yang Ning. And more sincere and caring.

One day, Mrs. He suddenly found that the relationship between the two seemed to be a little closer (? One-sided) and her opinion of He An also improved a little bit.
