The two wandered around the supermarket for a long time and didn't know what to eat. In the end, Xie Shuangchen said to eat stuffing, bought some meat and vegetables, and went home.

"Are you doing it?" Ye Ling looked at the big pocket and the small pocket and asked.

"Otherwise?" Xie Shuangchen was busy.

Ye Ling thought for a while and said, "I don't think I've ever eaten your dumplings."

Xie Shuangchen thinks so too, he basically eats dumplings during the Chinese New Year now, but it happens that every chaste thing after meeting Ye Ling is either because he is busy or Ye Ling is not around, so he actually misses it.

"I'll show you something today." Xie Shuangchen smiled.

"I have a question." Ye Ling said, "Why don't you just buy meat stuffing for making dumplings?"

"..." Xie Shuangchen scratched his head, "It's a sense of ritual." In fact, he forgot, it's enough to process it for someone in the supermarket.

Throughout the afternoon, Ye Ling was extremely annoyed by the sound of Xie Shuangchen chopping up meat.

Yao Sheng would pick a time, and he would come only after Xie Shuangchen finished chopping up the minced meat. As soon as he came in and smelled it, he said, "Hey, do you have stuffed stuffing? Is there any wine?"

"Ah, I forgot." Ye Ling said, "Why don't I buy it, it's downstairs."

"Don't wait on me." Xie Shuangchen came out holding a knife.

"Damn." Yao Sheng took a step back, "What are you doing?"

Ye Ling smiled and said: "Come on, don't fight, I'll go down and buy a bottle of wine and bring it up soon."

"It's better to be Teacher Ye." Yao Sheng said with a smile.He was as casual in Xie Shuangchen's house as if he was in his own house, and he was not ambiguous about ordering Ye Ling.

Ye Ling went out for a while and then came back. Xie Shuangchen mixed the minced meat and brought out the noodles. He stared at Yao Sheng and said, "Come and do your work!"

"I'm a guest!" Yao Sheng said.

"Where is there a guest lying on the master's sofa and watching TV?" Xie Shuangchen hit Yao Sheng with a rolling pin, "Get out of here!"

Yao Sheng stood up swiftly, walked quickly to the table, ignored Xie Shuangchen at all, and said to Ye Ling with a smile: "Does Teacher Ye know how to make dumplings?"

"A little bit." Ye Ling said, "But my bag is not very pretty."

"Hey, it's the same if you eat it, don't worry about it." Yao Sheng said.

Having said that, the three of them got busy, Xie Shuangchen rolled out the wrappers for Yao Sheng and Ye Ling to make dumplings, and when they saw Ye Ling's twisted dumplings with the stuffing exposed, they both showed indescribable expressions.

"You..." Xie Shuangchen picked it up and squeezed it, "It's almost time to eat some soup."

"Do you want to die?" Yao Sheng said, "Dare to say Teacher Ye, be bold!"

Ye Ling stared at the dumplings she made for a long time, and said shyly, "It's really ugly."

"It's okay." Yao Sheng said, "I'll pinch it all for you."

"Hey, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Xie Shuangchen said, "Why is the spring breeze so rippling? What are you doing? You're so flamboyant."

Yao Sheng said: "What can I be proud of? There are other messy things. I came today to discuss with you. Isn't your theater closed on Mondays? Can you use it for me?"

Xie Shuangchen stopped what he was doing, and asked, "What are you doing? I told you that I was doing a serious business, so don't make me do anything like gathering people for pornography, gambling, and drugs!"

"Are you crazy?" Yao Sheng said impatiently, "I'm doing serious business!"

Xie Shuangchen said, "Do you think you have something to do with the word 'serious business'?"

"No." Yao Sheng said, "The word 'serious matter' in your mouth is four words, with an extra accent."

"Shut up!" Xie Shuangchen became even more impatient.

"Don't interrupt me, let me continue." Yao Sheng lowered his head to make dumplings, without delaying his speech, "I want to build a base..."

"Are you running a terrorist organization?" Xie Shuangchen's surprise seemed exaggerated, then he approached Yao Sheng, and said in a very serious and mysterious way, "Brother, all I can do is not report you, so you can do it yourself, after eating this meal today Dumplings, let’s pretend we don’t know each other.”

"Yo——" Yao Sheng choked out, "You are really an old artist from your ancestors, even performing like this!"

Xie Shuangchen said, "You continue."

"If you hadn't been farting all the time, I would have finished talking!" Yao Sheng rolled his eyes, "I just want to use your place to sing!"

"My place is a bit small, right?" Xie Shuangchen said, "A total of [-] people can be seated, where can I enshrine your big Buddha? No matter what, you have to go to the Mei Lanfang Grand Theater, right?"

"It's the same wherever I sing, but what about other people?" Yao Sheng said, "I think your small theater is good. You let the audience buy tickets to go to the big theater. What an unattainable thing to appreciate. But you let the audience buy a ticket worth tens of dollars to go to the small theater in front of your house, and if you don’t have enough guarantees, they will be happy to come and hang out after dinner. And your theater is in a good location..."

He was about to continue talking about his grand plans, when Xie Shuangchen interrupted him again: "How much will you give me?"

"How hurtful is it if I talk about money with you?" Yao Sheng said.

Xie Shuangchen shook his head: "Don't, talk about feelings and hurt money."

"Is it annoying?" Yao Sheng said.

Xie Shuangchen changed the subject and asked: "What about the actors? Have you thought about everything? Can the tickets be sold?"

Yao Sheng said: "Recently, I am recruiting actors. In fact, I really want to gather actors for Beijing Ping Bangyue. Peking opera is definitely no problem. Let's see the others."

"You can also comment on operas." Xie Shuangchen said casually, "The two sons of the Feng family are with you, what else do you want to do? Oh, by the way, speaking of this, why didn't Second Miss come with you?"

Yao Sheng said: "He said he didn't want to see you outside of working hours."

"Damn girl!" Xie Shuangchen scolded.

"I discussed this matter with Fei Luan." Yao Sheng said, "He thought it was a good thing and gave me a lot of pertinent opinions, but when I asked him if he could help me, he hesitated."

Xie Shuangchen said: "Is it because you were unruly and indulgent and loved freedom back then, and now you are not willing to come back to play old stuff?"

"No." Yao Sheng shook his head, his expression became a little serious, "He is not such a person, but he didn't say anything about it. I guess it might be a conflict with his current affairs. When I was rehearsing, he The problem with the band friends didn’t even catch up with the second lady’s birthday.”

"He's also a busy person." Xie Shuangchen commented.

The two of them kept talking about the mountains, and the two Beijing men talked endlessly, ignoring the existence of Ye Ling.When Xie Shuangchen inadvertently glanced at it with his eyes, he was stunned on the spot, and after two seconds he hurriedly said, "Oh, my ancestors! Why did the dumpling skins break through the ones you made?"

"I don't know." Ye Ling had been quietly conquering Yao Sheng's dumplings when he was talking to Xie Shuangchen.He always digs a big lump of stuffing and puts it in the dough, but he can't hold it, all of which burst his stomach.He said distressedly: "I see that you are all doing well while chatting and bagging. I deliberately didn't disagree with you. Why is it still like this?"

"Well, you are not the hands of the working people." Yao Sheng said dumbfoundedly, "This kind of housework has to be done by us working women."

"You are a working woman!" Xie Shuangchen said, "You are a housewife!" He didn't have time to argue with Yao Sheng, so he quickly put down the work at hand to clean up the mess Ye Ling made: "Don't do it, drink while you drink Give us tea and smoke a bag of cigarettes to cheer us up. Or you can go to the kitchen to boil the water, and the three of us will eat, which is probably enough."

"Oh, it's broken!" Yao Sheng said, "If you didn't tell me to eat dumplings in advance, I forgot to buy pork head meat."

Xie Shuangchen said, "Where are you so busy?"

Yao Sheng said: "Sense of ritual!"

There is no pork head meat, no appetizers, and it is not bad to be able to pull out two heads of garlic from the kitchen.It is very simple for three people to eat. First cook three plates and put them on, counting more than 100.The dumplings are full on the plate, and you can tell who made them.Yao Sheng's bag is very pretty, and the one that is so ugly that it affects the appetite is made by Ye Ling, even if it is ugly, it is still big.

"It's okay." Xie Shuangchen commented, "It's not broken, so I don't need to drink some soup."

Yao Sheng poured wine for everyone, toasted and said, "Come on, cheers to my new opera club!"

"I haven't promised you to come yet!" Xie Shuangchen shouted.

"Don't listen to bastard's chanting!" Yao Sheng kept shaking his head.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "I wish Boss Yao the best of luck!"

"Look at his enlightenment." Yao Sheng gave a thumbs up, "How else can you say that he can be admitted to Tsinghua University but you can't?"

Xie Shuangchen said, "I can make dumplings."

Yao Sheng said: "Building the motherland does not depend on you making dumplings."

"You two are really..." Ye Ling has nothing to do now, and can only listen to the two of them arguing, and after a long time, she becomes numb, "Boss Yao, anyway, our place is idle on Mondays, so you can use it .But tickets may not sell very well on Monday..."

"It's okay, I'm not doing this to make money." Yao Sheng said, "Didn't I say I was recruiting actors, to be honest, I met a lot of good young people. Some of them studied since childhood, and some became monks halfway through , but they're both very purposeful and confident, and I like that."

"What about Feifei?" Ye Ling suddenly asked, "Does he still sing?"

"Him?" A faint smile appeared on Yao Sheng's face, "I hope he sings, he is talented and educated, it's a pity not to sing. But I don't know how to tell him, he...he might still would repel."

"Not necessarily." Ye Ling denied Yao Sheng's opinion, "He has been with you for so long, and he can more or less see your hard work from you. Do you know how nervous he was when he went to see your performance last time? Shocked? The audience sat down, staring at each other without saying a word, that kind of eyes can't deceive anyone."

"I hope." Yao Sheng said, "Miss Ye, why don't you give me some side-talk later?"

"No!" Xie Shuangchen jumped out, "You got him away, so what about my business? Our second lady is very popular, do you know how many mothers come to see him every day?"

Yao Sheng looked at Xie Shuangchen with an expression of "what the hell are you talking about?" Ye Ling said, "Boss Yao, let me try it. I also think he is suitable for singing. He is always a little bit wronged by us."

"Ms. Ye!" Xie Shuangchen said, "Why are you turning your elbows out?"

"Eat yours!" Yao Sheng said.

Yao Sheng didn't talk too deeply with Xie Shuangchen about the drama club. After all, he hasn't recruited actors yet, and it won't be able to start for a while.

He lingered at Xie Shuangchen's house for a long time before leaving. He didn't help Xie Shuangchen clean up, and ran away with a wave of his sleeves.Xie Shuangchen still had to clean the dishes, Ye Ling wiped the table outside, leaned against the kitchen door and asked, "What do you think about Boss Yao?"

"Is what he does different from mine?" Xie Shuangchen said, "It's just that I did it helplessly. He has ideals and ambitions."

"But the result is the same." Ye Ling said, "Did you ask Fei Fei to sing in an opera?"

"Second Miss is not my son, can I control it?" Xie Shuangchen said, "Doesn't everything depend on him?"

Ye Ling lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Hey, it's not worrying."

Xie Shuangchen pointed to himself: "Then what about me?"

Ye Ling said: "You are already an older child, you have to learn not to quarrel with others."

The next day was the beginning of a week of work for the Wing Ping Club. Xie Shuangchen and Ye Ling were the last of each program, but they were the first to come every day.

Yang Qirui also came very early, making an appointment with Xie Shuangchen.Seeing him enter the backstage, Xie Shuangchen still greeted him and said, "Brother Yang, isn't he busy with work recently? A civil servant is fine."

"Don't talk about it." Yang Qirui said with a smile, "I'm here today to tell you about this."

"What?" Xie Shuangchen jokingly said, "You were discovered by the organization because of socialism?"

"No." Yang Qirui waved, "I want to quit my job and concentrate on talking about cross talk."

"What?" Xie Shuangchen was surprised, and Ye Ling was also surprised.What Yang Qirui said was ordinary, but the listeners thought it was a blockbuster.

Ye Ling asked first: "Have you already resigned or are you planning to resign? I advise you to calm down, this is not an ordinary thing. Have you discussed it with your sister-in-law?"

Yang Qirui said: "I just told her, so I came to tell you."

Xie Shuangchen felt that this matter was unusual, so he changed his previous idle attitude, and said solemnly: "You have eaten and seen more of the world than I do. I think since you said this, you must have thought about the same thing. Yes. But I have to tell you the truth, let’s not think that the business is okay now, but it’s a level of support for the family. I have no problem with young people like them who are struggling, and everyone can feed themselves and the whole family. Yes. You have a family and a family, this kind of practical problem... I have to explain it to you. "

"How can I not know?" Yang Qirui said.

"Then..." Xie Shuangchen asked, "What about sister-in-law?"

Yang Qirui said: "When I told her at first, she didn't believe it. Do you know what I am like at home? Hey, it's nothing special. It's not much different from ordinary middle-aged people in their forties. The difference is the middle-level cadres in the unit. For a person like me who has no ambitions, it is difficult to go up. The current position is a safe zone. At home, he is a mediocre good husband. I think I have done everything I can for my family. My family life is very happy, without ups and downs, but I always feel that this is not what I want.”

It is absolutely no surprise that a young man in his 20s said these things, but it is different when an uncle in his forties said these things.

"In the beginning, Lao Chen and I came to our agency to try it out, just like finding a leisure activity for ourselves." Yang Qirui continued, "But after being with you for a long time, I was infected by your drive, and suddenly felt that my mentality was like I also became younger. The kind of enthusiasm that only existed in my student days was burning up. I counted on my fingers. If I can live to be 80 years old, I have already passed half of my life, and I have not yet done my job. What do you want to do, do you want to live the rest of your life in such a mediocre manner?"

Yang Qirui chatted with his wife for a long time. Fortunately, his wife is a very understanding person. After the initial shock subsided, she was willing to do it and listen carefully to Yang Qirui's original intention and plan.

In fact, what shocked my wife even more than this news was that after more than ten years of husband and wife, she had no idea that her husband had a hobby of talking about cross talk.He hides so well that he never shares it with anyone but like-minded partners.

This may be the only space for people of his age, which has nothing to do with family, relatives, work or social relations. In this world, he can find the happiness and dreams of his youth.

He is free, happy, and not bothered by the world.

"I think very clearly. My daughter-in-law also supported me after knowing my thoughts." Yang Qirui said, "Forty is not confused, which means that when a person reaches 40, he has experienced a lot and will have his own. Judgment, I can see my life clearly at this age. My daughter-in-law asked me, isn’t it too late to suddenly pursue my dream in my 40s? Actually, I doubted it earlier, but I can’t now. Tao Huabi is 50 Compared with the old godmother who started her business at the age of [-], I'm still a fresh meat."

Xie Shuangchen said with a smile, "We're just talking about cross talk, and we don't sell chili sauce."

Yang Qirui laughed out loud, and Ye Ling laughed too.

"Anyway, that's what it means. I'm full of energy now!" Yang Qirui said, "Dreams are not the right of you young people, and I can do it too. And I don't think young people have the opportunity to start again, as long as one person If you are willing, no matter what stage of life you are in, you can do it all over again.”

Ye Ling asked: "What about Brother Chen?"

"Him?" Yang Qirui said, "He should solve his middle-aged crisis first. I'll date him when he's free, and usually I'll do my own thing. By the way, my wife will come to our show tonight."

"What?!" Xie Shuangchen stood up awkwardly.

"What's wrong?" Yang Qirui said.

Ye Ling said: "Oh, it's okay, he will play "Fenhewan" tonight."

Xie Shuangchen's husband and wife drama, the focus is on one input!Now he is very worried that his sister-in-law will drag Yang Qirui home after finishing watching "Fenhewan".

Didn't Brother Yang's just-started dream career overturn on the spot?
