Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

Mr. Liu's family is a rich family, and the Chang family all know it, but before the Liu family has nothing to do with him, it's not worth paying attention to.Now Mrs. Yu is standing at the gate, seeing that Mr. Liu is so rich, and a girl can hang out with this kind of family, so why can't she be hard on herself?There is no need to say anything.Seeing her dazed look, Xiaonan said, "Go back, what else can you say?" Wang Sun also smiled and said to her: "Just don't worry, our place is more comfortable than any big mansion, bigger than any big mansion." The mansion is going to be free again, under such circumstances, what are you dissatisfied with?" Mrs. Yu lifted up a piece of her skirt, wiped her mouth a few times, smiled and opened her eyes to Wang Sun and said, "Really, she is a month old. Can I earn fifteen dollars?"

Wang Sun laughed and said, "Why do you wrong me? You can get fifteen yuan a month here." She wiped the piece of skirt from her mouth to her forehead, and said with a smile, "That's kind of you! Is it calculated according to the solar calendar? Or is it calculated according to the lunar calendar? This year is a leap month, if it is calculated according to the solar calendar, we will suffer a loss for one month?" Wang Sun laughed out loud when he heard that, nodded his head and said: "Now outside Salary is calculated according to the Gregorian calendar, and it’s not a matter of one person to suffer a month’s loss!" Xiao Nan spends every day with rich people, and now he doesn’t take money so seriously, listen My mother's words made me feel a little embarrassed.So he pushed Yu Shi with both hands and said: "Go back, don't talk nonsense here. I will bring you something to eat later." Yu Shi said: "You don't have to give me something to eat, I can do it. How much should it cost? You can give me as much as you want." As long as Xiao Nan is willing to leave, Xiao Nan will not argue with her, and he will answer with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely bring it." Yu walked all the way Talking, talking non-stop all the way.Xiao Nan pushed her all the way to the entrance of the alley, fearing that she would pull her back home, so she turned around and walked back to Liu's house.Wang Sun laughed and said, "That's all right, if we break through this difficulty, she won't talk to you in the future." So he stretched out his hand to support Xiao Nan's waist, and walked into the house. I was a little embarrassed.Now look at the people of the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe, men and women are all like this, if you are alone, you don't have to hold any objections.After three days like this, she was already very familiar with Liu's family, and she didn't go home all day, and Mrs. Yu didn't pursue it like before, and she was on her own.

In the past few days, Hong Shiyi has been here three times.However, every time I come here, when I ask, Xiao Nan is always not at home. This is what layman Chang meant, thinking that although a girl is so poor that she collects coal cores, it is just the normal state of ordinary poor people, but it is not the right way to let a girl go to a song and dance troupe to learn singing and dancing.Hong Shiyi is a well-behaved poor man, so don't tell others, lest they will laugh at you.He thought so, so he didn't say a word in front of Shi Yi.Shi Yi had no reason, and he couldn't inquire about the girl's actions, he just wondered.But Xiao Nan was walking with a few fashionable ladies, this was what he saw with his own eyes.She was talking that day, but she was just playing around at Liu's house.There is Liu An who runs a singing and dancing troupe in this alley. Could it be that Xiao Nantou has joined his singing and dancing troupe?snort!This is very similar, isn't the girl who walked with her that day the same character in the singing and dancing troupe?For a talent like Xiao Nan, it is certainly aggrieved to ask her to collect coal cores, but it is not necessarily wise to ask her to sell her body and thighs on stage.Again, if a person is poor, he can do anything. If his family does not find a way out, he will starve to death. What can he do?If you really go to the singing and dancing troupe and put up an artistic signboard, you can still cover up your face.If it's not going to a song and dance troupe, it's a lower level than this, and it's really selling human flesh, so what?Seeing old man Chang, talking hesitantly, has he really entered this path?When Shi Yi thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder for Xiao Nan.It seems that Xiaonan's doing this has nothing to do with his life.Fortunately, I know where the Liu family is, so I went there to inquire first. If he wasn't in that team, Xiao Nan must have gone to a place that is not wise.He thought of how panicked he had been in Xiaonanjin Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe for a week, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he summoned up all his courage and went to inquire.The Liu family is a palace of art, there are only twenty girls, and of course the access control is very tight.

When Shi Yi arrived at the door, he looked inside the door for a while, and saw that there were two rows of green trees reflected in the vermilion lacquer door, gloomy and without a single noise, so he rushed in indiscriminately.Looking at the door from a distance, seeing a man in a suit coming out, he took a straw hat in his hand, nodded to the man, and said with a smile, "Excuse me, is this the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe?" I looked up and down, and saw that the gray bamboo cloth jacket on his body had turned pale white, and the straw hat with a thick stem was also yellow, so don't look at anything else.Of course, you can know that he is a very poor man, so he stared at him and asked, "What are you asking for?" Shi Yi saw him like that, and the boss was not happy, thinking to himself, what a big deal you are?Is it okay to ask you a few words?So he kept his face and said: "I'm speaking very politely, but it's not malicious to ask a friend." The man in the suit said: "Who is responsible for answering you?" After saying that, he turned his head and left.Seeing this look, Shi Yi was trembling with hatred, but what can he say?It is to find nails from others to touch.But he mustered up the courage to inquire about Xiao Nan's whereabouts, and he must not just slip back without getting results.Because of this, he was still lingering far outside the door, waiting for a second chance.I could have rushed through the gate and asked the concierge about her, but the concierge might not value my clothes?Moreover, asking about a woman will arouse people's suspicions, so it's better to wait at the door all the time.

Thinking of this, he put his hands behind his back and kept wandering on the road.Sure enough, what he expected was already won. Not long after, a group of men and women walked towards the door with smiles, and one of them was Xiao Nan in green silk.They turned outward, and they turned inward, just facing each other.So he reached out to take off the hat on his head, and nodded to Xiao Nan from afar.Xiao Nan suddenly saw him, first he stopped suddenly, as if he wanted to say hello.However, she suddenly realized something again, so she kept her face straight and kept her eyes forward, ignoring Shi Yi.Shi Yi took the hat in his hand, but stared blankly, the hat could no longer be put on his head.But there was a girl next to him, and when she saw Shi Yi's situation, she asked, "Hey, is that person greeting you?" Xiao Nan said, "Did he recognize the wrong person? I don't recognize him." , she glanced at Shi Yi out of the corner of her eye, and then left.When Shi Yi arrived at this time, he realized that it wasn't that she didn't see it, but that she didn't want to pay attention to it.If she just went to greet her, she would turn her face away, and maybe she would be accused of openly molesting herself.His face changed from white to red, from red to blue, from blue to pale again, it almost made him faint from anger.When he was in a daze like this, the group of men and women, happily, walked away.Shi Yi stood there for a long time, feeling very dissatisfied.Although you and I have not been friends for many years, the effort I have made for you is great.Not only do I know you well, I know your whole family well, how can you say you don't recognize me?You are not that extreme old-fashioned woman who doesn't have boyfriends. There are several men on the same road as you. For a man like me, shouldn't you be allowed to make friends?Yes, your friends all wear beautiful suits, and I wear shabby clothes. If you nod and say a word to me, you will lose face, so just say that you don’t know me, and you will be exempted from these trouble.Well, if you don’t recognize me, then you don’t recognize me, we just cut off contact from now on.How could such an older girl have such vicious methods?Well, finally I learned the lesson.

He stood at this door for half an hour. He was in a daze, unable to move, because he heard someone say: "What is this man doing! He keeps standing here." Looking back, there were two people standing beside him. Looking at himself through the door.I thought to myself, standing here, I probably attract some attention, what is the reason for the attention?Maybe it's because I don't dress well?He took a deep breath, lowered his head, and walked towards the hall.I saw a beautiful girl on the road, and I hated it in my heart. I felt that all beautiful women are like snakes and scorpions. When I meet this kind of woman, I should punch her three times and kick her three times. But the hatred in my heart.Thinking so, he walked back slowly.

When I got home, I didn't know it was sunset on the wall, and the pale yellow setting sun shone back on the yard, showing a bleak scene.He didn't know why he wasted a lot of time today, and he didn't know what way he walked, so he returned to the guild hall. He felt only a dejected consciousness, and the vague fact that man was like a dream.After returning to his own room, he suddenly sat down on the bed covered with straw mats, and suddenly a hatred came to his mind.Where did the quilt on this bed, the sheets on this bed go?Not all because of the woman picking up coal cores!The clothes to be changed were pawned for money and sold to her.When I wrote for her, I became encephalopathy, and after I became encephalopathy, I only slept in such an empty bed without bedding. Although she once went to the guild hall to see a doctor, she saw that the things in my room were so simple and rudimentary. , seems greatly disappointed.She thought I was poor and forgot that she was poor.She thinks I'm a paper laborer with trivial matters, and she forgets that she is a female thief who steals coal.I knew this earlier, and that day outside the West Bianmen, I should have ravaged it to my heart's content.What is morality?What is conscience?What is religion?This is all a pretense.She once wore such a letter № on her body, but did she ever have a little Buddhist concept of compassion?I hate it, and I regret it too.Why did I want to preserve her virginity that day?My life was almost in her hands, she just sent me a bouquet of flowers to comfort me, what do I want this comfort for?

Shi Yi sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed the straw mat with both hands, kicked his feet tightly, and looked at the hazy night outside the window with red eyes.He lifted a torn blue cloth pillow by the head of the bed, revealing a flat paper bag.Inside the paper bag were dozens of petals.Those are the residual flowers that Xiao Nan sent, and they couldn't bear to throw them away, so they stayed here.I pay attention to the flowers sent by others, but they despise me, what use do I want?Thinking of this, before he had time to open the paper bag, he tore it flat with both hands, and even the paper and petals were torn to pieces.The petals fell all over the ground, but he still felt that it was not enough to relieve his hatred, so he trampled on the shattered petals as much as he could for a while.Then he stomped his feet a few times: "Now I can breathe out this breath, I can breathe out this breath."

The head class in the guild hall was passing by the door of the room. After hearing this, he came in and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Shi Yi felt that he was insane and alarmed the outsiders, and said, "It's nothing. There are mice in the house again." The long class walked away, and he sat on the edge of the bed, his heart still beating wildly.I sat alone for a long time, and then I thought about it again, I am also very angry, she is a girl who picks up coal cores, what does she know?It's just a picture of what others eat and what they wear.If I live in a mansion by car today, and find her a place to play, and tell her not to pay attention to that young man in a beautiful suit, she will still ignore it.How many women in society who claim to be knowledgeable end up slipping into the arms of rich people?Can you teach a girl picking up coal nubs to have superhuman thoughts?It's only because I've been restless after three days of full food.If I hadn't met her at the gate of the Charity Association and hadn't pursued her, I wouldn't have this illness, and I wouldn't have this trouble.Counting and counting, it is always my fault. Since it is my fault, I can forgive myself and don't have to hate Xiao Nan.After thinking about it for a while, the anger in his heart seemed to calm down a little.But this whole month of hard work has been wasted for others, so I can't feel any regrets.Because from this day on, when I was walking on the street, I met a man and a woman walking together. When I saw that man with a cold eye, I must have sighed in my heart, alas!You don't need to be beautiful, the days of depression are still to come.Thinking about that woman again, I can't guess what vicious tricks you are going to use against this man?Only this honest and useless man will be fooled by you. If it is me, no matter how you flatter me, I will not be fooled by you.Now that his attitude has changed to this state, apart from work, there is nothing else that will disturb his mind.Although I had a little shortfall when I was sick, fortunately, I am a person who can endure hardships. I have no other purpose except to eat two meals of coarse pasta. After suffering for two months, the shortfall was filled.

It was already the time when summer went to autumn, and the Mr. Director of the Charity Association remembered that the refugees in some places had no food or clothing, but they were very miserable, so he organized a festival to relieve refugees from all over the world, and the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe also agreed. Doing one day's duty is the main program of this entertainment festival.Shi Yi heard the words of the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe, and his heart was moved. He thought, if I were to be sent to the venue to be a usher and picket, I would definitely not do it. I would rather stand at the gate to say hello. Coachman, as a vigilante, don't go into the amusement park to see the girls.Therefore, when the staff in the club were exercising one after another, Shi Yi was not tempted at all, and continued to work as usual.Mr. Director is also a stubborn old man. He saw all the staff, only one Hong Shiyi was not greedy for the entertainment in the game club.This person must be able to do things seriously and not be greedy for fun.So he was appointed as one of the ushers in the entertainment venue.Although Shi Yi was unwilling, but he was working in the charity association, and his qualifications and status were low. If such a decent job was obtained by the second person, the director would think highly of it.If you resign from this matter, it becomes a common saying, and you don't know how to flatter.Because of this, he did not express anything, but silently acknowledged his position.

Their entertainment party was held in one of the largest theaters in Beiping. There were so many visitors that there were no shortage of ushers, so there were as many as thirty ushers.Moreover, young people are afraid that they will not be able to fulfill their duties because they are too playful.Therefore, although there are many ushers in the field, there are not many ushers who can communicate with each other inside and out.Among the competent receptionists, Shi Yi is another one.He wore a new blue bamboo cloth gown today, and a colleague gave him a pair of old leather shoes to wear.He was also afraid that his image would become too insignificant, like a beggar, and he would feel uncomfortable with Mr. Li, so he got up early in the morning and cut his hair once.This time in the meeting place, although it can't be said to be gorgeous, the shoes are neat and tidy, at least guiding the female guests to take their seats, so that they won't be annoyed.At three o'clock in the afternoon, the play was about to end and the singing and dancing were about to take the stage. Shi Yi thought in his heart that Xiao Nan was a girl who had just joined the troupe. If you want to play tricks, maybe she won't come.He thought so, so he didn't leave the meeting. In fact, he was not allowed to leave.He thought, in case Xiaonan came, or he would inevitably meet him at the venue, let me sneak into the lounge to have a rest.Therefore, without saying hello to others, he quietly walked into the lounge. At this time, the ushers were a little tired, and they expected nothing to happen, some left, some took off the red silk strips of the ushers on their chests, and mingled with many people to listen to the opera.People who really do hospitality on the court, now they only stop once or twice out of ten.Therefore, although Shi Yi went to rest in the staff lounge, he refused to put down the note of the receptionist hanging in front of his chest.I just sat down and poured a cup of tea, but a waiter called outside the door: "Someone is looking for a waiter." Shi Yi looked at the resting staff in the room, and none of them had a note for a waiter. Someone called, it's my duty, so I had no choice but to walk out.When he went out to have a look, he saw two women in half-Chinese and half-Western clothes standing at the entrance, just wandering.I don't recognize the woman in front.On the opposite side was a woman wearing a lapel dress and a short jacket with a lapel collar and a long blue tie. Her hair had been cut and she had two five-inch braids hanging down her ears, and two big red knots were tied into one braid. flower.The front head is divided into two peaches, bending from the forehead to the sideburns, making the face more apple-like.When I saw it suddenly, I thought this woman was pretty.Take a closer look, isn't this Xiaonan, a girl from the Chang family?Fortunately, she doesn't recognize me as a friend anymore, so why should I be polite to her?So he kept his face straight, pretending that he didn't recognize her, and deliberately looked around and said, "Which one is looking for an usher? I am the one." After saying this, the woman in front greeted her and said, "It's us. Find an usher. We are members of the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe, please lead us to the backstage." Shi Yi nodded and said yes, but ignored Xiao Nan, who would speak first.She turned her eyes and smiled at Shi Yi: "Mr. Hong, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Shi Yi was sullen at first, just pretending that he didn't know her, and wanted to confuse this difficulty, but now Xiao Nan went first Speaking, this can no longer ignore others.However, before his words could be answered, the woman asked first, "Hey! Do you two know each other?" Xiao Nan smiled and said, "Yes, he is an old friend of my father's." Then, she turned around Xiang Shiyi said: "Are you very busy today?" Shi Yi said: "There is nothing busy, and you will be performing in this meeting?" Xiao Nan smiled; !" She is pretty, and she speaks so politely.Shi Yi smiled and said: "Okay, I must spare time to pay my respects later." As he said this, he led the way in front and led the two ladies to the backstage.Originally, quite a few people from their group had already come, and when they met each other, they gathered together to chat and laugh.In the backstage there are theater boxes of the old troupe, and there are drama performers coming in and out, plus this group of song and dance artists, it is already extremely chaotic. Under such circumstances, Shi Yi has no chance to speak , he had to withdraw from the background.But it's strange to say that my recent goal is to hate a lady when I see her. Today, after Xiao Nan's smile and a few polite words, for some reason, the hatred in his heart disappeared virtually. up.He thought, she might not be so indifferent to me, she refused to talk to me at the gate of the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe that day, it was just because my clothes were too tattered and it was inconvenient to greet me.It can't be her fault, it's just that I don't love myself too much.My clothes are not in good condition today either, but they are a little cleaner.But she was very polite to me. Although she said that I was her father's friend, she added an old word to "friend", which is still a sign of strong affection.She said that she also performed, but she ignored it. Why didn't her name be listed on the show?Thinking of this, he immediately found a program list and went to the lounge to check it carefully.what!All of a sudden, he discovered what kind of character Xiao Nan was.The program had a huge banner, and a line was printed: "The new singing and dancing star, Ms. Chang Qing, starred in "Little Painter". After the program, there were a few lines of introduction: "Ms. He is fit, has a bright singing voice, and has a particularly lively and innocent personality.After joining the troupe, he only practiced for a few months, and has been able to produce more than ten musicals. "Little Painter" suits Ms. Chang's personality, especially beautiful.After this play, the god of happiness played by Ms. Chang is also a wonderful work, and I sincerely hope that you can enjoy it silently. "After Tu Yi read this passage, he felt admiration in his heart, but he was still surprised. This is really unexpected. She, a girl picking up coal cores, went to this singing and dancing troupe, and suddenly became a star. Yes. When he was holding the program list, he heard a kind of violent applause in the venue. This may be the beginning of a song and dance drama. So he followed the example of others, took off the red silk ribbon of the usher, and quietly They mingled in the crowd. At this time, it really was singing and dancing. Shi Yi clicked on the program and looked down the same way.See the third section, it is a swan dance.Below is the co-starring of Ms. Liu Mianmian and Chang Qing.Early on, the applause was like pushing a wall down, and two girls jumped out of the stage.Of course, Shi Yi only paid attention to Xiao Nan.She was wearing a pair of short trousers that looked like a skirt but not a skirt, and her two snow-white round thighs were completely exposed. She only wore a vest on her upper body, and her two bare arms looked like two fat lotus root.Her whole body is white except for her neck, which is loosely wrapped with a red gauze, and her hair is tied with a red braid, two steel wires, and two small red balls on top, which are probably the symbol of swans. up.The two of them danced and danced on the stage, showing their curvaceous beauty everywhere. Although they didn't have to sing, she always looked at the audience with a smile.The people under the stage don't need to listen to her singing, they just look at her smiling face, they are already drunk. Shi Yi sat under the stage, as if he was also singing on the stage, his heart was beating wildly.However, many people present applauded, but he remained calm and did not move at all.It wasn't until the swan dance was over that he straightened his neck before he bent it down and let out a breath.He thought in his heart, she is really beautiful, she is really innocent and lively, she has great merits in singing and dancing.When I thought about it, I turned to the people under the stage, among the thousands of eyes, which one was not looking at her like a lantern?It's only me, I used to fight with her in the wilderness, and I can get what others can't get, but I was a little stupid at those times and refused to do it.He felt that he could really be complacent about this fact. No one who participated in the fair could compare with me.When he was in such a state of ecstasy, the little painter came on stage again. Xiao Nan was wearing a set of white navy children's clothes. The long curly hair on the back of his head and the two red cheeks all showed a kind of innocence and liveliness. Come charming. When she described a naughty child on stage, she didn't find it annoying, but only thought it was cute. This made Shi Yi's twenty-four points of annoyance and hatred for her, and now it will be eliminated.When the show was over, after two shows, she became the god of happiness again.This is even more beautiful. She is wearing a peach-colored dance dress and a long white gauze. In the soft music, she is really ecstatic.When people applaud, he can't help applauding.The song and dance drama is over, and the old drama is about to start.When the gongs and drums sounded, many people left their seats, and Shi Yi also left their seats.His two feet did not follow any order from his mind, but for some unknown reason, he walked towards the backstage.Most of the singing and dancing stars have changed their clothes and are going outside in twos and threes. As soon as Shi Yi entered the door, he met Xiao Nan at the head. She was holding a delicate little rattan silk bag full of bright red apples.Shi Yi recognized that this was the fruit of condolences to these singing and dancing stars in the charity association, and she probably shared this part. When she saw Shi Yi from afar, she nodded deeply and said, "Mr. Hong, thank you for your support!" After meeting Shi Yi, he didn't know what to say to praise him, so he became polite first Then he smiled and said, "I'm a person who doesn't understand art, but I don't know what words to use to praise it?" Although he said this, he still looked a little embarrassed, but he looked down at the apples.As soon as Xiaonan stretched out his hand, he took out two apples inside, stuffed them into Shi Yi's hands and said, "Mr. Hong, please use two!" How can I eat something to comfort you ladies?" Xiao Nan said with a smile, "We are old friends, are you polite?" The word "old friend" really made Shi Yi feel comfortable all over his body, as if he had been electrocuted.Holding two apples in his hands, he was speechless towards Xiao Nan.Xiao Nan is not like before, talking shyly.She didn't mind and said to Shi Yi: "My father misses you very much. If you have nothing to do, come and sit at our house!" Shi Jiao said: "Okay, I will definitely go." The female song and dance artist approached, put her hands on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "I'm hungry, go eat!" Xiao Nan nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Hong, bye bye." gone. Shi Yi took two apples in one hand, and he didn't feel that he was following Xiao Nan's back from the background, and walked out.When he arrived at the gate of the theater, the cars on the street were speeding past in front of him, which woke him up. For no reason, why did they come to the gate?So he fell in love again, without knowing it.
