There are many parents who come to the school to watch the party, and naturally there are elderly people. In that era without TV, listening to opera was a rare entertainment enjoyment, so many old men and women were very happy to hear the familiar sound of gongs and drums.

In this opera excerpt, Xu Ning's role is the princess of the Liao Kingdom, while Mr. Zhou's role is Yang Silang.

Xu Ning had thought he would be stage frightened before, but when he stood in front of everyone, he realized that there was nothing to worry about. This was a party and a lively place. Moreover, today the performances were all students. Even if you didn’t sing well, most of the people were just looking for fun and would not be strict with a child.

This week, with the help of Teacher Zhou and Teacher Yan, Xu Ning also learned a little bit of drama posture. Naturally, there was no way to compare with those famous opera artists, but he also copied it. With the performance of her young girl, many of the elderly present were also happy.

This is the advantage of age. Some people don’t like to listen to opera, but if they see a little doll performing on the stage, even if they don’t like to listen, they will join in the fun and watch it.

Xu Ning stood in front of the microphone. Seeing that the microphone was facing the position of her eyelid, Teacher Zhou smiled and moved forward to her downward. The small movement caused everyone in front of him to burst into laughter.

"Teacher Yuan is really, why don't you know how to take care of our students' height?" Teacher Zhou looked up at the female teacher standing under the podium on the left.

Knowing that Zhou Yan was joking, Yuan Qiuyu, a music teacher in the high school department, was about to bend down when she laughed, "Oh, I forgot about this."

Xu Ning calmed down and cleared his throat. With the accompaniment of the gongs and drums, he held the orchid fingers and started singing.

"I was so scared that I was sweating all over my body after hearing his words. It was only fifteen years since he spoke the truth recently. It turned out that the Yang family general changed his name and surname. He missed his hometown and wanted to be reunited..."

Not to mention the classmates at school, even Xie Zheng couldn't help but be stunned. This little girl's voice was really surprising, transparent, loud and scented. Looking at the age of adults around her and those who like to listen to opera, they shook their heads and some even followed the gongs and drums and family, which obviously they liked it.

"Mr. Concubine!" Xu Ning shouted this, and in an instant, many students from the school laughed. Even Teacher Zhou next to Xu Ning covered his laughter and trembled with his shoulders.

Zhou Yan looked up at Yan Meifeng in front of him. Seeing her squinting her eyes and almost laughing and dying, it was really funny.

Although it is a plot requirement, it is also very funny to be called by his own students by the son-in-law. Besides, Yang Yanhui is the son-in-law who is a son-in-law in the opera.

However, after Xu Ning finished singing the next few sentences, Teacher Zhou also held his smile and clasped his fists at the audience in front of him, shouting: Princess!

"Hahahaha..." The principal of the school sitting in the front patted his thighs and burst into tears.

When comparing other programs with this teacher-student opera duet, they all felt that it was too dull. They would not think wrongly about a word of a princess or a princess. They were just too funny.

Mr. Jiang and his wife and Mrs. Xu both like to listen to operas. Usually, there are people who come to sing big operas in the village. Mrs. Xu and Gao Xiulan, the "best friend", must have to carry a small stool to listen to operas, and even struggle to squeeze in front of them. They can be considered old drama fans.

"Ningning's little voice is really good." Old Master Jiang was particularly happy to hear it.

"I am a good couple and I have a great kindness. Why should Princess Xian be too humble? One day, Yang Yanhui was frowning, but he would never forget Princess Xian be as kind as a mountain."

Zhou Yan is as Yan Meifeng said. Although she is only in her twenties, she is also a veteran fan. She is not proficient in singing but also very eye-catching.

The teacher and student sang back and forth on the stage, and the people below were very lively.

Even people who don’t like to listen to operas are very serious. After all, the opera singers are all known to them in reality, rather than those grass-roots teams who are thousands of miles away or do not know them.

"Songying is far away from this road, how can you return it overnight!" This singing style was quite fast, and Xu Ning dared not neglect any.

"There are long distances between Songying, and the fast horse will be whipped overnight." Teacher Zhou also calmed down and tried his best.

"Just just now, you can express your wish to the sky~" As soon as Xu Ning finished his singing, the applause immediately roared.

"Okay!" The principal in front simply stood up and applauded vigorously.

Some of the drama fans present also enjoyed listening to it. Even if they just sing so casually, there were many flaws. But how high can they ask for when looking at the beautiful and pretty little girl in front of them?

If Xu Ning's ability was really comparable to that of those famous opera artists, he would have been chosen by others long ago.

The two bent down here to thank the gifts, then walked down the podium, Teacher Zhou sat down in the front corner, and Xu Ning was looking for her family on the spot.

"Ningning, here." Xu Jianjun stood up and waved at his daughter.

Many students and parents followed Xu Ning and then saw Xu Jianjun.

Looking at Xu Jianjun's decent dress and mental appearance, they thought it was normal for such a handsome father to give birth to such a beautiful and lovely daughter.

There is no more space here. When Xu Ning comes over, Xie Zheng gets up and gives her a place.

"Brother Zheng, please sit down, I can just lean on my dad."

"It will take two or three hours to disperse. How tired you are squatting on the ground?" Xie Zheng said: "Sit here, I'll go find Zhou Tao."

"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Xu Ning did not continue to decline. Mr. Jiang and the others moved and asked Xu Ning to sit down between Qin Xuejuan and Mrs. Xu.

Qin Xuejuan held her daughter's shoulder, "My daughter is so great, she sang so well."

Leaning in her mother's arms and smelling a faint fragrance emitted from her body, Xu Ning felt a little shy at this time, "Just let you not be embarrassed."

"No shame." Old Master Jiang looked over and gave her a thumbs up, "The little girl is very powerful, and she will have two more sessions with her grandfather in the future."

"Okay, I'll learn a few more periods when I go home and sing with you." Xu Ning nodded happily, "Okay Sha Jiabang?"

"This is good, grandpa sang very well."

Gao Xiulan waited for the old man in a angrily way and said with a smile: "You are very good at bragging."

In the crowd, Lu Xuejiao held the corners of her clothes with both hands and twisted them, twisting them all to deform.

Her main purpose today is to see Xu Ning's jokes, but the more she listened, the more she felt uncomfortable, especially when she received so much applause, which made her even more feel that these applauses were slaps on the face, embarrassment and humiliation made her almost turn against each other.

As time passed, the show gradually came to an end, and many people present left. Now it is winter, and it usually starts dark around five o'clock in the afternoon. Many families have people waiting for dinner, and those who are left are all the families who come to see the party. Don't worry about going home late.

After six o'clock, this year's party came to an end. Not surprisingly, the opera sung by Zhou Yan and Xu Ning teachers and students became the most popular program tonight.

"Next, please ask Teacher Zhou and Xu Ning to come up and receive the award."

Xu Ning walked onto the podium, and then the principal walked up to the two of them with the prizes, "I didn't expect that Teacher Zhou also participated this time. The prizes were all prepared for the students, so you can do whatever you want."

Teacher Zhou laughed and said, "What teacher's student is, this is what we won."

The prize is a stationery iron box and a notebook with a small lock, and of course it also comes with a key.

Xu Ning took it and bowed to the principal to thank him. Instead, Teacher Zhou was holding the prize and was a little amused and crying.

"I really can't use it. I don't have any secret to write a locked notebook." Teacher Zhou quipped the prize to Xu Ning. "After Xu Ning entered the second year of junior high school, he entered the top of the class in his studies and will continue to work hard in the future."

"...Thank you, Teacher Zhou." Seeing that she had another set in her hand, she thought she would give Zhang Meng a set, and she couldn't use that much.

Then the usual principal speech was followed, and the entire school began to leave after 6:30.

"Xu Ning, you are really so competitive." Zhang Meng came out of nowhere and held Xu Ning's arm. "I saw that man's face. It's so ugly. Don't mention how happy it is."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Before Xu Ning could answer, a woman next to her raised her hand and patted Zhang Meng on the back, "Every girl is from every family, it makes people laugh."

Zhang Meng stuck out her tongue and said to Xu Ning: "This is my mother."

"Hello, aunt." Xu Ning greeted the other party, and then gave her a set of prizes in her hand, "We each have one set."

"Give it to me? You're so generous." Zhang Meng was surprised with the prize, "Just keep it yourself, I don't have a pencil case."

"One set is enough, I can't use so much." Xu Ning didn't care. He looked at Zhang Meng's mother next to her and smiled at her, "Aunt, Zhang Meng and I are good friends. Besides, this is a prize, and it was not bought by me, so don't talk about her."

In fact, mother Zhang really wants to scold her daughter a few words. The child is not counting, so you just take it with him. Do you still know if you are ashamed?

However, seeing Xu Ning say this, she didn't feel embarrassed to say what she said, "I have it at home. This is the award you won, what are you doing for her?"

"Zhang Meng is also nice to me, and I am happy to share it with her."

When Zhang's mother saw Xu Ning's appearance, she was also very fond of her daughter.

"Big girl, your daughter is so sensible."

Qin Xuejuan was naturally happy when others praised her daughter, but she couldn't act too much. She just said modestly: "My eldest sister's daughter is not bad either. She sent a lot of seafood to our house this summer vacation, and I like it very much."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Meng's mother waved her hand, "My mother's home is by the beach. Every summer vacation, they both go to the sea to get there. When they come back, they bring a lot of seafood. If you like it, they will give it to you next year."

"Then I won't be polite to my elder sister." Qin Xuejuan smiled heartily and said, "I'll come to my house to play with Zhang Meng when I have free time in the future."

“This relationship is good.”

Not long after, the two mothers were having a lot of chatting. Xu Jianjun smiled at Zhang Meng's father, "Women get together, they can just say it."

"It's not like that."

The two families separated at the fork in the road, and the two mothers seemed reluctant to leave. They both invited each other to visit their homes, causing everyone around them to shake their heads and laugh.

Zhang Meng led his younger brother to follow his parents home, "Tomorrow, New Year, the day after tomorrow I will go to you to do your homework the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xu Ning nodded, "Come with your brother."

"No, he is very naughty." Zhang Meng rubbed his younger brother's crouching and refused, which attracted the little guy's retort.

New Year's Day, the Chinese New Year is not as important as the Spring Festival, but it should be lively.

When he woke up early in the morning, the old lady carried a feather duster and cleaned around the house. Xu Jianjun carried a big broom to clean the yard and doorstep. Because Qin Xuejuan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, she hardly did anything now. She just sat around the coal stove to sort out the diapers and clothes needed for the child when he was born, etc. The baby clothes were cut by the old lady, and Qin Xuejuan only needed to sew them with a pedal sewing machine.

At first, Qin Xuejuan didn't know how to do these things. She bought the pedal sewing machine at home a few years ago. The old lady used it very quickly as soon as she bought it. On the contrary, Qin Xuejuan learned it with her mother-in-law for several days before she learned it.

After washing up, Xu Ning said to the old lady: "Grandma, let's kill a cock."

"I killed a big rooster yesterday, and it was hanging in the stairs." The old lady explained, "Would you cook at noon?"

"Yes, I'm on vacation, you guys will relax, I'll do it." Dig a little out of the bottle of snow cream, apply it on your face, and then wiped your hands. It smelled fragrant, "By the way, my space has been expanded, it should be two acres of land now."

"What did it happen?" the old lady asked curiously.

Their current population is one and a half acres per capita, but their granddaughter's space now has two acres of land.

"I don't know either." Xu Ning was also very curious about this, but he did not grasp the rules. "One acre of vegetables is enough, what should I plant that acre of land?"

"The grain cannot be planted." Qin Xuejuan said, "Otherwise we can't take it out and thresh it, which makes people feel suspicious. It's better to plant fruit trees."

The old lady naturally thought of this and echoed: "Your mother is right. When the spring begins, I will plant some fruit seedlings for you, so that our family will not have to buy fruits to eat in the future."

"Okay, listen to you."
