Chapter 355: Face-Making, Peony Pavilion

$353

After finishing, Qi Shuliang paid fifty dollars directly.

In fact, one sugar man only needs one dollar, and the rest is considered a tip.

The old man received the money and thanked him repeatedly. He couldn't make so much money in a whole day!

Going further, there were clay figurines.

"Shuliang, I want him to make one for us mother and son, in our image." Grandma Qi San said, these were all things she remembered before.

Seeing it again, she wanted to have it!

Moreover, the photo is flat, and this is three-dimensional, which is more interesting.

"Okay!" Qi Shuliang satisfied his mother completely, as long as his mother was happy.

The craftsman greeted the business and made two dough figurines according to Grandma Qi San's request. The clothes on the dough figurines were what they were wearing now, and they were painted, which was very lifelike.

Qi Zhengmin thought it was very interesting and clamored for it, so Qi Shuliang asked the craftsman to make all of them.

Anna got the small dough figurine that looked like her and liked it very much.

Qi Shuliang paid another fifty dollars. In fact, the dough figurines were only one dollar each at most.

When she saw the other things, Grandma Qi San only looked at them but didn't buy them, especially the food. Although she wanted to eat, she wasn't hungry, and neither were the children, so she didn't buy them.

All the way to the Jixiang Building!

The furnishings here are similar to those in the theaters in China before liberation. The waiters inside are also wearing a jacket, cloth shoes, and a melon-shaped hat.

Qi Shuliang and his party came in and were taken directly to the best box.

Soon, fragrant tea and four hot snacks were served.

The servants who brought them distributed snacks to everyone.

Grandma Qi San drank a sip of tea and ate a bite of snacks. The fragrance in the tea just removed the greasiness in the snacks. The taste was just right, a perfect match!

"It's rare to have such a theater abroad." Grandma Qi San said with emotion, "What opera is being sung today?"

"Kunqu Opera, a few passages from "The Peony Pavilion." Qi Shuliang smiled, he knew his mother liked to listen.

"That's great." Grandma Qi San praised, "If you don't like it, you can go out and play!"

"We like it." Qi Zhengmin quickly replied. This is the first time to accompany his grandmother to listen to the opera. He can't leave halfway, otherwise his father will not give him pocket money next week.

Fortunately, the snacks here are delicious. I will ask for more snacks later.

More and more people are listening to the opera, and soon the seats are full.

The actors in the backstage put on makeup, changed clothes, and prepared to go on stage.

The stage was rearranged and they were waiting for the time to come to go on stage.

Instruments such as flute, Xiao, suona, pipa, three-stringed, and moon guitar sounded.

The sound of the flute pursues the sound of the gossamer, and the effect of the gift board forms the characteristics of "flowing and distant" with the characteristics of Wuzhong folk songs, making Kunqu music famous for "graceful and charming, singing three sighs".

The traditional instruments of Huaxia country made familiar sounds, and Grandma Qi San followed the tune and nodded slightly.

The actors went on stage. The actress who played the woman was pretty and beautiful, and the actor who played Zhang Sheng was handsome and tall. The two sang melodiously, which was rare!

When encountering a passage that Grandma Qi San was familiar with, Grandma Qi San could actually sing along with a few lines.

Bu Bu Jiao, Zui Fu Gui, You Yuan Jing Meng...

Anna also listened carefully on the side, wanting to hear the meaning of such a graceful song.

He Tiantian didn't know much about opera. She ate snacks while listening. Qi Zhengmin did the same. When his mother wasn't paying attention, he ate like a groundhog.

Qi Shuliang smiled, looking at the stage, his mother, and his wife. When no one else could see, he put a small orange in Anna's palm.

Anna smiled because she liked to eat oranges the most, especially honey oranges.

Sometimes Qi Shuliang would turn his head to look at He Tiantian, Qi Zhenghan, and Qi Zhengmin, especially when he saw the crumbs of snacks hanging from the corners of his daughter's mouth, he took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his daughter's mouth.

He Tiantian watched Qi Shuliang's actions from the side, and was sure that Qi Shuliang was a man who respected and loved his family, his wife, and his children.

Looking at such a scene, He Tiantian couldn't help but imagine that she and Huo Yingjie were married, and the family watched movies and plays together.

Such a life must be very happy.

This is her current goal!

A play lasted about two hours, with a few minutes of rest in the middle.

After listening to the play, we had lunch at a nearby restaurant.

There was even roast duck here, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

He Tiantian finished half of it by herself, and also ate a lot of other delicious food.

He Tiantian was the smallest, and she ate very well, but soon she ate the most!

Qi Zhenghan looked at the stunned people and whispered, "Next time I bring you here, you don't have to eat so much at once, aren't you full?"

He Tiantian felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone staring at her, but she was still open and honest and said, "I'm strong and I eat a lot, grandma knows."

"Haha!" Grandma Qi San smiled, "Yes, I won't be full! Last year, the two of us could eat 145 kilograms of wild rabbits at home!"

Everyone smiled kindly after hearing this.

"Sister Tiantian, are you very strong?" Qi Zhengmin asked curiously, tilting his head, "How strong?"

He Tiantian thought for a while and said, "I don't know exactly how strong it is, but I once carried a bag of wheat in one hand, and a bag of wheat weighed 40 kilograms, and walked a kilometer with it."

"Ah?" Qi Zhengmin was surprised, "Can't you carry two of me and walk a kilometer?"

"I guess you can." He Tiantian nodded, proving that she was not a glutton, but because she was strong, she needed more energy.

Anna, Qi Shuliang did not speak, but listened carefully on the side.

Grandma Qi San smiled and said, "I don't know if Tiantian can carry such heavy wheat, but I know that during the Chinese New Year two years ago, your second uncle and I went to Tiantian's house to celebrate the New Year. We brought many gifts, probably dozens of kilograms, and all of them were carried by Tiantian alone."

"So that's it, sister Tiantian, you are so amazing, you are my idol." Qi Zhengmin smiled, his eyes sparkling.

This time, He Tiantian was curious and asked, "Why do you say that? Aren't you strong?"

"I can't beat the black girl in the class!" Qi Zhengmin pouted and said, that little black girl didn't dare to bully white people, so she bullied her.

"Zhengmin?" Anna was a little angry when she saw her daughter calling her classmates very impolitely.

This is too unladylike!

"Mom, you always blame me." Now that dad and grandma are here, Qi Zhengmin is bolder. "That Alice doesn't dare to bully the white people in the class, so she bullies me because I'm Asian. I'm as tall as her, but I'm not as strong as her, so I often suffer."
