In front of the North Gate

Regular time always flies by.

After the spring equinox, Shi Jichang's work became extremely busy again.

Lou Huaiyu entered the mission department and was considered "one of his own people", so he also began to participate in the weekly regular meeting, watching Shi Jichang speak on stage that he did not understand.

Shi Jichang said that there is another small but powerful wild team in the south, and they will also come to Pingcheng from the southwest to join them.

"When they capture Yao County, the tough bone, the entire area to the south of Pingcheng will basically belong to our jurisdiction." Shi Jichang pointed to the map and drew a circle on it.

Lou Huaiyu didn't fully understand, and Ji Chang explained to him afterwards, that is, to help that team come over, and then head north together.

Lou Huaiyu asked him puzzled, "What about Pingcheng?"

"We will keep some people." Shi Jichang was silent for a while, then said, hesitating several times, never asking Lou Huaiyu if he wanted to stay.

After that, Shi Jichang was absent for three days, and when he came back occasionally, he only said a few words briefly, and then went to a meeting that Lou Huaiyu was not suitable to attend.

It's just that this time, Lou Huaiyu found the meaning of doing things every day and had a goal, so even if he didn't see Shi Jichang every day, he didn't feel so hard.

In the last few days of February, Lou Huaiyu also started to get busy.

The Ministry of Propaganda and Education suddenly held an urgent internal meeting, saying that it was necessary to schedule a few programs temporarily for the Ching Ming Festival—for the newly merged team, all the people in Heping City.

At the beginning, the Ministry of Propaganda and Education was just stunned and silent. After a few moments, excited discussions broke out quickly, and the minister couldn't stop clapping and shouting.

He also knew how excited everyone was when they hadn't performed for several months, so he had to shout at the top of his voice: "You are free to cooperate with each other to produce a few shows, and then we have to choose one! Prepare well! Hurry up! Qingming The New Year’s Eve doesn’t come until the end of next month.”

After being reminded like this, Lou Huaiyu remembered that Qingming Festival is only fifteen days away.

The discussion below became quieter for a while, and then became louder. The content also changed from simple excitement to excitement and tension. Many acquaintances had already gathered to discuss what they could perform.

Lou Huaiyu is most familiar with Zhou Liang and Hu Haitian in the department, so he couldn't help getting together at this time.

The three of them were rather shy, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't speak for a while.

In the end, it was Hu Haitian who broke the silence. He let out a high and rubbed his forehead: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for the three of us? You two can sing Yue opera or something together. I'm a layman. ..."

"Nothing." Lou Huaiyu and Zhou Liang said almost in unison.

After speaking, all three of them laughed.

Let's discuss a few words. Zhou Liang first suggested that the rap industry is ashamed of the practice for more than a month. They are newcomers, and they should work hard to prepare a new opera. At worst, it will not be as good as other people's programs, so they won't be on it. up.

Both Lou Huaiyu and Hu Haitian agreed, and the three continued to discuss carefully, and finally chose a classic work "A Doll's House" that their predecessors have starred in several times in the south.

The time passed faster when he got busy, and Lou Huaiyu was also distracted, only to realize that he hadn't seen Shi Jichang for seven or eight days.

The pace of their rehearsal program is very tight.

A Doll's House was not a very long play, but it was only to be presented as a performance. The whole performance must be too long, so the three finally chose to perform with a more conflicting climax and ending.

Lou Huaiyu will play Nora, Hu Haitian will naturally play the duplicity husband, and Zhou Liang will play the lawyer who informs him that her troubles have been resolved after her husband rushes out of the house.

The whole program started with Lou Huaiyu being slapped to the ground by Hu Haitian, heartbroken, and the climax was when Hu Haitian and Zhou Liang solved the problem, and after returning home, they pretended to be gentle and showed their utmost love to Lou Huaiyu in front of outsiders.

The wife played by Lou Huaiyu finally came to her senses and chose to leave while the two were still talking.

The themes of the repertoire call for resistance and equality are very clear. Compared with those, what is really difficult for Lou Huaiyu is the need to transform the singing and performance forms of Yue opera that he has been accustomed to for more than ten years.

Shaoxing opera is tactful and reserved, and a word of love should be sung delicately with a handkerchief covering your face.

The new songs are... very open.

Lou Huaiyu felt the temperature of Hu Haitian's hand on his waist. For the stage effect, Lou Huaiyu had to lower his waist slightly, and most of the weight was on this hand.Even through the thick coat, Lou Huaiyu still felt a little awkward.

Hu Haitian looked at him intently, and sang: "My dear Nora, you are always so beautiful and gentle."

Lou Huaiyu was distracted by the palm and didn't connect for a while.

Hu Haitian was stunned for a while, and smiled: "Why are you distracted again?"

As he spoke, Lou Huaiyu pushed hard with his hands, and Lou Huaiyu stood up straight, almost sticking to Hu Haitian's body tightly.

Lou Huaiyu immediately took two steps back, looked at Hu Haitian and Zhou Liang with some embarrassment, and said honestly, "I'm still not used to it."

The rapid transformation of the husband's attitude is the highlight of the play. In order to show the difference and contrast, the two have a lot of contact in this scene. Zhou Liang clapped Lou Huaiyu's shoulder clearly and encouraged him: "Little Huaiyu, dedicate yourself to art!"

Pushed away by Lou Huaiyu.

Hu Haitian took the initiative to say: "I'm sorry, anyone who can avoid touching you will try not to touch you, even the one just now had to work hard, and I also..."

Lou Huaiyu quickly interrupted him: "It's not your problem."

The three of them rested for a while, and Lou Huaiyu went to wash up alone. After thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed again.He thought, this kind of performance can be seen everywhere, and he is also a boy, so if he even minds touching, it is indeed too hypocritical.

Starting again, Lou Huaiyu exhaled and said with a smile: "Dedicate yourself to art, come on!"

After liberating the psychological barrier, the rehearsal went much smoother.

As newcomers, the three of them were also very affirmed when they chose to perform a new opera, so on the day of the selection of the program in the department, they unexpectedly got a high number of votes.

Lou Huaiyu felt that she hadn't been this happy for a long time, she was still breathing, and she was hugged with her two companions, and when she looked up again, she found that Shi Jichang was standing at the gate of the courtyard at some point, leaning against the wall, watching them.

Lou Huaiyu was in a very good mood today, the corners of his mouth that were already uplifted all of a sudden, and he got off the stage and rushed over.

"You're back!" Lou Huaiyu said with a smile.

The programs of the three of them were already at the bottom, and after the selection of the programs, they were soon disbanded. Shi Jichang looked at Lou Huaiyu who looked up and smiled at him in the crowd.

Lou Huaiyu's eyes are as pure as a spring, with thin skin and tender flesh, red lips and white teeth. At first glance, it seems that he has never experienced hardship. It is hard to imagine how complicated and difficult this boy will be when he beats up the spoiled young master. talk about the past.

But at this moment there was a smile in those eyes, there was nothing but his own reflection.

Shi Jichang looked at him silently for a while, then raised his hand, rubbed his head, and responded vaguely.

Zhou Liang and Hu Haitian also came out and greeted him: "Xiao Huaiyu, let's go eat first."

Lou Huaiyu nodded with them, tugged at the corner of Shi Jichang's clothes in a blink of an eye, and said to him, "You have been away for a long time this time."

He couldn't wait to talk about the selection of his program, and he talked endlessly about the differences between new operas and Yue operas, as well as the relationship between him and Zhou Liang and Hu Haitian during the few days when Shi Jichang was away. get along.

"Brother Haitian also learns faster than me," Lou Huaiyu stated with his head down, "I will study harder in the future. If you have time at night, you can teach me to read more books, okay?"

Lou Huaiyu said: "I have learned a lot of words recently!"

After he finished talking happily, he realized that Shi Jichang was listening absent-mindedly.

"What's wrong with you? Is the mission not going well?"

"No." Shi Jichang's tone was firm.

The corners of Lou Huaiyu's mouth involuntarily dropped a little, and he was a bit apprehensive before asking again: "What's the matter?"

Shi Jichang didn't say anything, just grabbed Lou Huaiyu's wrist, told him not to go to the cafeteria for lunch, and brought back specialties for him to eat.

The two walked side by side, Lou Huaiyu looked down at her wrist which had not been loosened, the corners of her mouth rose again, and continued to talk about the new things of the past few days.

When he was about to reach Shi Jichang's room, Shi Jichang suddenly whispered, "You never called my brother."

Lou Huaiyu was talking excitedly, but didn't hear it, and only realized after finishing speaking: "What did you just say?"

Shi Jichang shook his head, and dragged him in to eat specialties.

After Zhou Liang and Hu Haitian greeted each other, they walked towards the dining hall.

He was also happy today and talked a lot. He couldn't help but praise his wise choice of plays. After talking for a long time, at first, he heard Hu Haitian respond with a few words, but then suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Liang stopped strangely and turned around to look, only to find Hu Haitian stopped at the corner, looking back, not knowing what to look at.

"What are you doing there?" Zhou Liang was puzzled.

Only then did Hu Haitian turn around and start walking again, but he didn't answer Zhou Liang's question.

The author says:

remind!This is half overhead Ha! ! !There are many things I made up, which do not conform to historical facts, and the place names are all fake! (It is not clear which teams are the various teams in it hahaha)

That "A Doll's House" really has such a play, but the content is not exactly the same as what I wrote.
