In front of the North Gate

Although Shi Jichang talked about what he wanted to learn and told him in time, but in fact, after Liang Sibo's team arrived, Shi Jichang was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat.

At first, Lou Huaiyu was still tangled between looking for Hu Haitian and troublesome Shi Jichang. One day, after having dinner with Jichang, they walked back together. When they saw Shi Jichang's black and blue eyes that could not be ignored, he didn't want to ask him any more.

Shi Jichang said that he was busy with the merger.

Lou Huaiyu didn't understand what merging was, so Shi Jichang explained to him that merging was almost turning their team into Liang Sibo's team.

Although I don't know other reasons, based on Lou Huaiyu's own judgment, he also feels that Liang Sibo's team is stronger.

Lou Huaiyu didn't get along with any team for a long time, and he didn't know many people, and the standard for judging a person's side was mainly based on clothing.

Shi Jichang and the others usually wear their own clothes, short shirts and padded jackets, old and new, but Liang Sibo's people always wear uniforms with tight feet, and rarely even take off their hats on weekdays.

Lou Huaiyu has been with him for a few days, and he can find that people in uniform are always very polite and friendly to him, full of enthusiasm. Although they don't know each other, they always smile and nod when they meet. Then staggered with them.

People in uniforms are always well-disciplined. When eating, they eat together without making a sound, and their sitting postures are particularly upright.

Lou Huaiyu once said this while having dinner with Ji Chang. Seeing that Ji Chang straightened his back unobtrusively, he said, "Yes, they are very disciplined and their organization develops very fast."

As soon as Shi Jichang finished speaking, the well-disciplined Liang Sibo straightened his back and sat beside Shi Jichang.

Liang Sibo is also tall, but he is still a little shorter than Shi Jichang, and he loves to smile more than Shi Jichang. When they met, he greeted him generously: "See how long you have just started eating, let's go together."

Shi Jichang stepped aside, making the three of them form a triangle.

As soon as Liang Sibo came, it was a little awkward for the two of them to discuss this comparison, so there was a weird silence for a moment.

Liang Sibo started a new topic first.

He took a white flour steamed bun, took a bite, and asked Lou Huaiyu, "I heard you are an opera singer?"

Liang Sibo asked this question very plainly, without any emotional color, so Lou Huaiyu just glanced at Shi Jichang briefly, then nodded and said: "Yes, Yue opera."

"Shaoxing opera...that's fine too..." Liang Sibo muttered for a long time, but Lou Huaiyu didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't dare to express his opinion easily.

Liang Sibo then said: "Then your skills and voice should be pretty good, right?"

This time, before Lou Huaiyu opened his mouth, Shi Jichang had already spoken.

"He is very good at singing." Shi Jichang said. Lou Huaiyu looked over, but Shi Jichang didn't look at him, but seemed to be eating seriously. "The day I won this place, I also want to thank him for singing well on stage. The servants were all fascinated by it, and didn't notice us too much."

Lou Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat, and the hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened, a little unspeakably happy.

"That's it!" Liang Sibo was even happier than him, and said without a word, "That's great."

Lou Huaiyu didn't understand the meaning of the phrase "too good" that day. A few days later, when Liang Sibo came to invite him to participate in some club activities during lunch, he found out.

Liang Sibo said: "The higher-ups now feel that ideological education is also a top priority, but the cultural level of the people is limited. If you want the broadest masses of the people to participate in the revolution, you must use the most widely spread and most popular methods."

Lou Huaiyu felt that sometimes Liang Sibo was very similar to Shi Jichang, for example, now, he didn't understand a single word he said.

Liang Sibo probably noticed it too, so he changed his approach: "I saw you were learning how to shoot a gun before, and you were not proficient. Shi Jichang also said, you have not been here for a long time, right? We have soldiers who don't need to shoot guns, and they have played a decisive role in the revolution." It works."

Lou Huaiyu understood a little, and her heart beat suddenly a little faster.

He intuitively felt that what Liang Sibo was going to say next could bring him a different kind of happiness than when he was close to Shi Jichang, and give him a reason to stay here for a long time.

"You don't need to shoot guns, you don't need to fight, you can do it, what do you mean by staying here...?" Lou Huaiyu asked him with his eyes open.

Lou Huaiyu cut his hair short, and the hair at the back naturally fell down on both sides of his cheeks, making his face smaller and his eyes bigger. Looking at people from bottom to top, he looks round and cute.

Liang Sibo's smiling eyes were bent, and he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Lou Huaiyu, but he didn't know where he wanted to touch, because before he touched it, he remembered something and retracted it, saying: " Yes, I want you to be a literary soldier."

That afternoon, Liang Sibo led Lou Huaiyu to a room in the front yard that Lou Huaiyu had never entered.

The room was empty, all the furniture had been evacuated, only a long table made up of four square dining tables in the center of the room, and the sides were already full of people.

Lou Huaiyu stood at the door and looked around, but didn't see Shi Jichang, but saw Hu Haitian sitting at the end of the table.

There were two empty seats next to Hu Haitian, Liang Sibo asked him to sit, and Lou Huaiyu sat next to him.

As soon as he was seated, Hu Haitian smiled lightly.

But when Lou Huaiyu looked up, Hu Haitian didn't seem to be smiling, but looked seriously at Liang Sibo who walked to the front, and applauded when Liang Sibo stood still.

Lou Huaiyu also applauded belatedly, seeing Liang Sibo waving at everyone: "You don't need to applaud me, I will applaud everyone in the audience later."

Many people laughed happily.

Liang Sibo said again: "Today, there are mainly two things. One, our mission department traveled from the south all the way to the north, and finally came to Pingcheng, where we finally officially settled down. It was the first time that we officially gathered together to share with everyone. Say something hard."

Some people applauded at the bottom, and some people said that Team Liang had worked hard.

Lou Huaiyu was in a fog, so he had no choice but to clap along in a daze.

Liang Sibo waved his hand again, and after everyone was quiet, he said again: "The second one, after coming to our Pingcheng, I discovered the hidden dragon and crouching tiger!"

He laughed loudly: "When I first came to Pingcheng, I added a three-yuan general to our team!"

Lou Huaiyu was still at a loss, Liang Sibo had already said by name: "Three new players, Zhou Liang, Hu Haitian, Lou Huaiyu, please introduce yourself!"

Lou Huaiyu was startled at first, but later felt that the first name was a little familiar.

Before he could figure it out, Zhou Liang had already stood up.

Zhou Liang was sitting in a relatively front position before, and the person sitting next to him was tall and strong, so he was not seen from Lou Huaiyu's position. Now that the person stood up, Lou Huaiyu suddenly recalled that this was the relationship with him before. Zhou Liang who performed for Yamaguchi together.

Zhou Liang probably saw him too, smiled at him, and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Liang, I was not sensible before, and I stole your things..."

When Zhou Liang said this, he bowed deeply: "Thank you for taking me in, for understanding me, and for teaching me a lot. From now on, I will try my best to do what I can do, like Team Liang told me, what is that? ...burn yourself, and emit the brightest light!"

Zhou Liang said it sincerely, and when he got up, there were tears in his eyes. Lou Huaiyu still remembered that he lowered his head and said "what's the future?"

Lou Huaiyu had very complicated emotions in his heart. He felt happy and guilty at the same time, and there was also a little bit of envy and jealousy that could not be ignored.

But this complexity was quickly broken by Hu Haitian who was beside him.

Hu Haitian stood up and introduced himself in a mid-spirited voice: "Hu Haitian, I sang operas when I was a child, but later became a bandit. Is this not a good thing? I'm singing operas again. Please give me some advice!"

Hu Haitian clasped his fists and came to a very quack-like ending. After finishing speaking, he received a round of applause and a few words of welcome.

Then, Hu Haitian sat down and watched Lou Huaiyu with everyone.

Lou Huaiyu was a little nervous, so he stood up in a daze, and said in a low voice, "My name is Lou Huaiyu."

After finishing speaking, I don't know what to say.

According to Hu Haitian's logic, he should say: I came to Pingcheng to sing opera with my master, and later became a concubine for the Japanese. Now that the Japanese have been kicked out, they come back to sing opera.

Lou Huaiyu couldn't tell.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for him to continue talking, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him.

Lou Huaiyu held his breath, and in the blink of an eye, he just wanted to get one sentence, and blurted out: "Lou Lizhiming, Lou Huaiyu who was exposed by Huaiyu."

Everyone froze for a moment, Liang Sibo took the lead in laughing, and applauded: "Good name, good name."

There was also sparse applause from below.

Lou Huaiyu felt that this difficult self-introduction was barely over, so he sat down with a sigh of relief.

But he didn't want to, Liang Sibo said again: "Next, according to the old rules in the team, all new members have to show up and sing a sentence for everyone to hear, don't say I'm a layman, randomly choose people."

Lou Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat... After that night's performance, he hasn't spoken for more than a month.

"How is it?" Liang Sibo looked at everyone, "Who will come first?"

As soon as Liang Sibo finished speaking, Zhou Liang stood up: "Me."

Not seeing each other for more than a month, Lou Huaiyu didn't know what happened to Zhou Liang, but felt that he was much taller and taller, which was very different from before.

"I sang Yue opera before," he said, turning his head to look at Lou Huaiyu. "It's only been more than half a month since I sang the new opera. It's not good, but I want to sing it for everyone."

After finishing speaking, before everyone could react, Zhou Liang had already sang: "The north wind blows, blowing the cypress branches in front of my court. The tree is firm and not afraid of the wind, and its integrity is still self-sufficient, and the heart will not change after the frost."

Zhou Liang sang something that Lou Huaiyu had never heard before, but he sang very steadily and very well, and everyone applauded after he sang a line.

Hu Haitian also applauded, and when the drum was over, he quickly stood up and said, "I can't sing better than anyone else. I haven't sung for many years, and I don't pay attention to it. Let's sing something you remember."

Judging from Hu Haitian's singing skills later, Lou Huaiyu felt that he was being humble.

Although Lou Huaiyu sang Yue opera, he also listened to a lot of Beijing opera in the north for several years, and felt that Hu Haitian's singing was full of momentum and his voice was stable, which was considered very good.

Hu Haitian also got the applause, sat down and asked Lou Huaiyu with a smile: "How about it, I didn't expect the instructor to sing well, right?"

Lou Huaiyu nodded and said truthfully, "Good singing."

Liang Sibo was already urging him: "Lou Huaiyu, it's up to you at last."

Lou Huaiyu had no choice but to expect Ai Ai to stand up.

He likes to sing and perform on stage, but at this time he felt inexplicably nervous, cleared his throat twice, and then sang: "He doesn't do iron cavalry with swords and guns, and he doesn't imitate mountains and cranes. He doesn't play tricks on Fengyue, but he is like a son and daughter whispering in a small window."

Lou Huaiyu started with no foreshadowing, and then stopped abruptly after singing only one sentence. When the voice stopped, everyone in the room was stunned.

Lou Huaiyu felt a little apprehensive all of a sudden, but the next moment, he heard the first applause coming from behind.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw Shi Jichang walking in clapping.

Soon, everyone applauded, and Liang Sibo boasted: "Although I don't understand, I think the singing is good, very good!"

Shi Jichang sat down beside Lou Huaiyu, filling the last vacancy in the circle.

Lou Huaiyu immediately felt less nervous, and he probably didn't notice it himself. After Shi Jichang sat down, Lou Huaiyu quickly moved the stool away from Hu Haitian, and leaned closer to Shi Jichang.

Lou Huaiyu also didn't see Hu Haitian scrutinizing his stool while Shi Jichang looked back at him.

Lou Huaiyu only cared about approaching Shi Jichang, and asked softly, "When did you come?"

Shi Jichang smiled, turned his head, and got closer to him, telling him: "You introduce yourself, Lou Lizhiming, when you were exposed to Huaiyu."
