The Shangyu Troupe's morning starts with Bai Bolin and Sheng Fu getting up to fetch water.

In order to facilitate the tour team, Wangzhuang built a campsite for the dozen or so troupes who came to perform to set up tents. There is also a temporary stove at the northernmost part of the camp. At noon and evening, there will be chefs from Wangzhuang to cook.Some theater troupes will boil water when the stove is not in use—although it is summer, many troupes come from the west and do not like to wash and drink directly from the river.Bai Bailin and Shengfu were the first to get up in the camp. They carried buckets of water from the Xiaohe River on the east side of the camp, and then boiled it with a big stove, and then sent the hot water to the tents where the members of the Shangyu Opera Troupe lived. The water allocated was very little, only enough for washing, so the Shangyu Troupe boiled water three times a day, and two other Onniao boys were in charge at noon and night.

Bai Bailin is 15 years old, the best age to be a Wenniaotong, and he is raising the only five-banned cat in the troupe.

Today is the last day of the performance in Wangzhuang, and it is also the day when the Shangyu Troupe performs. There are only two troupes left in the huge camp, and one of them is still loading the car, ready to rush to the next destination of the tour.

"The final performance was really bad."

"Well, woo."

Bai Bailin's exclamation was only met with Shengfu's low hum.

"Brother Shengfu, it would be great if you weren't stupid, we can still chat."

Bai Bailin kicked the stones away at his feet at will, and stopped looking at the convoy that was about to set off. He turned around to look at the water in the cauldron. On the surface of the water, several large bubbles burst, and several small bubbles were expanded.

"Hey! Brother Shengfu! Is it boiled? Fill it with water."

Sheng Fu said: "Hot, hot, hot!".He drove Bai Bailin away, and picked up the water ladle to scoop the water himself.Bai Bailin pursed his lips, not daring to look at Shengfu, and accepted the morning wind in Wangzhuang head-on, then rubbed his eyes desperately.

"Good! Good!"

After a while, Shengfu called out again, and the water was filled.Bai Bolin carried one bucket in each hand, Sheng Fu carried two buckets, and the two slowly walked towards the troupe's tent.The Shangyu Opera Troupe built eight small tents and one larger tent, eight for people and one for birds.

Bai Bailin and Sheng Fu went to the head's tent first, and Bai Bailin stood in front of the tent and softly called out: "Ming Jin, Ming Yin." A pair of twin girls gently opened the curtain and let They come in.The head's tent was divided into two parts by a piece of gray cloth. The other side of the curtain was the sleeping area. A bookshelf, a desk and several chairs were placed where the four of them were. Dozens of books were neatly arranged on the bookshelves. , Bai Bolin has read these books, there are tomes about Bo Minhui Escape, textbooks on comedy creation and performance, and various types of novels.Compared with the neat bookshelf, the head's desk is too messy, the ashtray is full of smoked cigarettes, several ledgers are scattered on the table, the oil pen is thrown on the ground, and the ink is stained. blanket.

Mingyin smiled and said, "Brother Xiaolin, brother Shengfu, you are here."

"What about the captain?"

A sad look appeared on Ming Jin's immature face, and he said: "Sister Lu Xi is still asleep, and she settled the accounts very late yesterday. Ming Yin and I just got up and are about to pack the tent."

"Wash your face first, the water will be cold in a while."

"Okay, Mingyin, quickly wake up sister Lu Xi."

Ming Yin carefully opened the inner curtain to call for the head of the team, Ming Jin took out the water basin from the bottom of the table, and Sheng Fu filled it with hot water.

"Okay, we're going elsewhere, you guys wash up quickly."

"Okay, thank you."

Ming Jin smiled sweetly at the two, Bai Bolin picked up the bucket, and left with Sheng Fu, then went to the larger tent next to it, and the roof was covered with a round blanket with colorful patterns.Bai Bailin called again softly: "Sister Ze, Sister Nan."

"Little Rin?"

Inside the tent, a gentle voice sounded.

"it's me."

"come in."

"it is good."

Bai Bailin said to Sheng Fu: "Brother Sheng Fu, you wait for me here, don't come in." He didn't know if Sheng Fu understood, but when he saw him nodding stupidly, he went in with water up.

Sheng Zenu and Dai Nangu lived in the same tent since they were young. Their tent was kept spotless. The white cloth used as the inner curtain was covered with patterns embroidered. A teacup and an already-lit scented candlestick full of grass and fat.On the right is a dressing table, and Dai Nangu is sitting facing the mirror, while Sheng Zenu is combing her hair.

"How come?"

Senior Nangu asked Bai Bailin with a slanted face.

"Today's firewood is not too busy, it's too late."

"Hurry up tomorrow, it's so uncomfortable to wake up early in the morning and not be able to wash your face."

"Okay, okay."

Bai Bailin put down the bucket, picked up the wooden basin standing by the tent, and poured water carefully on the ground, for fear of wetting the flowered carpet in the tent.

"Xiao Nan, today is a little slow, don't be angry with Xiao Lin." Sheng Zenu picked up the jewelry box and said: "Today's performance, you should wear this jewel hairpin!"

"Well, I used to wear this one, but what about the new one?"

"When I disturbed the sanitation yesterday, I received it in the box."

"Forget it, it's too troublesome to open the box, so just wear this. Which one are you wearing today? It won't be another Cui carved stone hair button, right?"

"Um--"

"Didn't I give you a blue engraved stone?"

"Then wear that."

"You really don't know how to dress yourself since you were a child. I'll comb your hair later!"

"Farewell, the hair you combed last time was laughed at by my mother."

"you--"

Senior Nangu was about to retort, Bai Bailin whispered to the two of them: "I have poured the water, sister Ze, sister Nan, please use water quickly, don't let it get cold."

Dai Nangu stood up, walked to the wooden basin and squatted down, stretched his hand into the basin to test the water temperature, and said, "As long as you are not the first to send it here, there is no hot water. Has the Shelu West risen?" ?”

"When I went, the leader was getting dressed."

"Waste of hot water." Senangu stood up, "Go early tomorrow."

"Ah."

Bai Bolin squeezed the handle of the bucket tightly and rushed out of the tent. Seeing Shengfu waiting there, he felt relieved.After delivering water to Nangu and Miss Shengze, it was much easier to deliver water to other team members. After the two completed their tasks, Shengfu went to Xiaohe to wash his face. Pour warm water into the basin and start to wash. His current mood is very similar to the mood when he was grabbing food with others in the morning - a new day has begun.

After washing his face, Bai Bolin took off his overalls, put on clean clothes, picked up the bird food bag on the small bench, and walked slowly out of his tent to the aviary.
