Chapter 6 six

The next day, I was thinking of celebrating my birthday even in class. Our arithmetic teacher drew a lot of tree trunks on the blackboard and talked about some ghost tree planting problems: ten trees, nine empty, twenty trees, nineteen empty—— The talk made my head dizzy, and I didn't bother to listen. I kept thinking about playing chess with Qingsheng yesterday-it was really interesting!When he wanted to eat my rook, he deliberately said to me: "Be careful, master, I want to eat the rook." I quickly grabbed the chess piece in my hand, and laughed at him, and he also blushed and laughed, Showing a mouth full of stacked teeth, I really wonder why the beard on his mouth is so thin and soft?

I couldn't even stand it upright, so I suddenly had a weird idea: If I could touch Qingsheng's soft beard, it would be very comfortable - thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing, and Tang Daoyi, who was sitting next to me, took out his hand. I slapped my thigh and asked, "Crazy? Why are you laughing so well?" I elbowed him and stared at him, "Shh! Don't make any noise, he's thinking about the topic on the blackboard!" After school was over at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when I returned home, I left my schoolbag to Lao Zeng without even entering the gate and urged him to go back: "Go, go, go and tell your wife, I went to my aunt's for dinner I just came back." My mother is the most accommodating only when I go to my aunt's house, anyway, my aunt has a bad memory, and she can't remember so much when I go there, so it's best to go to her place.I had made up my mind a long time ago: first invite Qingsheng to go to Gaosheng to watch a Japanese drama, and then take him to Ha Shengqiang to eat horse meat rice noodles.I carried a piece of Guangyang and eight donghaos with me, which I just took out of my piggy bank this morning.Guangyang was last year's lucky money, and Donghao was won by throwing dice with Lao Yuan and the others on New Year's Eve.

I walked to the door of the birthday celebration house, the door was ajar, I pushed in and saw him curled up on the bed taking a nap with his face facing outside, I walked lightly to his head, he was sleeping so sweetly.I don't even know I'm here.I squatted down and looked at him carefully for a while, he seemed to be sleeping better than yesterday.Such a smooth forehead, a large lock of hair curled on it, and his thin lips were tightly closed. I saw his nostrils fluttering slightly, and he was sleeping very quietly. He was not at all like the boys in our family. The servants all fell asleep and "hulahula", their mouths were so crooked that they were ugly.I really don’t know why, when I saw the soft green beard on his lips, I couldn’t bear the joy, I couldn’t help reaching out and touching the soft fur on his mouth, I felt an itchy and numb feeling. It made me laugh, and he turned over and got up, grabbed my hand, his eyes were in a daze, and he didn't know what was going on. "Haha, am I playing with your soft beard?" I told him with a smile, and suddenly his face started to turn red again—red, red, red from the neck to the base of the ears.

"Wow, oh, oh, don't be ashamed," I urged him as I pulled him out of bed: "Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll invite you to the theater, and then we'll go to the small restaurant." He hesitated for a long time, hesitating, as if to say something but then he said nothing, and finally said: "I think we had better not go out, sir!—" "No!" I stamped my feet anxiously and shouted, "I specially brought the New Year's money to invite you. Here, look!" I took out a piece of silver and showed it to him, and while pulling him, I ran out of the door.

When I entered the theater, I found Boss Liu and told him that I invited a friend to come to the theater and asked him to give us two good seats. I intentionally took out four pennies and gave them to him. He quickly stuffed them into my bag and made a sound. Shouting: "This is not allowed, Master Rong, why do you still need to buy a ticket to see the show, please come!" He then led us to the third row. Qingsheng sat down and kept looking around with his eyes open, as if a country bumpkin saw something new when he came to the city. "Have you never been here to watch a theater before?" I asked him, he bit his lower lip and shook his head with a smile, very embarrassed, I was so surprised, I have been to Gaosheng many times, even myself I can't count it.I hastened to teach him the classics of operas as I could—I told him which lines were good and which lines were bad, what characters there were in this theater, and how each person described them. I talked with great interest.

Today's play is "Fan Jiangguan", and Fan Lihua is played by a second-rate actress named Jin Yanfei. I have seen this girl several times in the background. She is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Strange, she is a very pitiful girl.I heard from Lu Ningxiang that because her voice is not very good, she can only sing some Daomadan plays.This day she was wearing a martial arts attire, with trembling pheasant feathers on her head, and a pair of raised thrush eyes looking around, she looked so pretty. Qing Sheng was engrossed, his eyes fixed on the stage without turning his head.

"Hey, do you like this girl on stage?" I leaned into his ear and joked to him.He suddenly turned his head and looked at me in amazement, like a frightened little rabbit, his eyes wandered. After a while, he coughed a few times, did not answer, and suddenly turned his head, his face was purple. Swelling, I saw the veins on his neck popping up.I was so shocked that I didn't dare to make a sound. After the play, I invited Qingsheng to Ha Shengqiang to eat horsemeat rice noodles. We each ate five dishes. I wanted to treat him, but he definitely refused. After arguing for a long time, he finally paid for it.When we came out, we saw that it was still early, so I asked him to hold hands and slowly swing back down the street.I talked a lot with him along the way. It turned out that he had lost his parents long ago and lived on a distant uncle. Later, he got tuberculosis and they forced him out. Fortunately, he met Sister Yu who helped him.

"Why don't you work yourself?" I asked him. He was a little embarrassed and replied: "Sister Yu said I was weak and wouldn't let me work." I asked him a lot of things, and he always said that Sister Yu wanted him to be like this, and Sister Yu wanted him to be like that. I think it's really strange, this grown-up man, why does Yuqing's sister-in-law want to treat him like a child? . When we walked to the gate of our back garden and I parted ways with him, I asked him again: "Do you like watching theater?" He smiled and nodded. "After that, you often come to pick me up at the gate of the school, and I will take you there with me."

He mumbled and said: "I'm afraid—I'm afraid Sister Yu doesn't like it." well!It's Miss Yu again. As soon as I entered the room, I ran to Mrs. Yuqing and shouted: "Hey, guess what I'm playing with Qingsheng today?" She put down the wool and replied that she didn't know. "Let me tell you! Let's go to Gaosheng to see a play today, Jin Yanfei's—" I was about to tell her happily, but I didn't know that she didn't even answer, but lowered her head and knit her wool.I was so uncomfortable that I kicked her wool ball hard——

muttered: "What is this? People are so excited, you are here to pour cold water on it again." She still lowered her head and replied calmly: "The theater is not a good place. Don't go with Qingsheng in the future." Her voice was cold—she had never spoken to me like this before.When I went to the theater before, she didn't say anything when she knew about it. Why was she not happy about going with her younger brother? I don't understand.
