Chapter 245 Condolence Performance
Around noon, Wei Shuan and his two sons returned home happily, carrying a two-pound pheasant.

As soon as they entered, Wei Qing greeted the father and his two sons warmly, "Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, you're back? Give me the pheasant. There's some freshly drained rice porridge on the table. You can have some first. The meal will be ready soon."

Wei Qing's sudden attentiveness surprised and flattered Wei Shuan and his two sons.

Especially the two brothers, Wei Guojun and Wei Guoliang.

Wei Qing used to not even give them a second glance, but today she's acting like she's possessed.

Liu Sufeng called the father and his sons into the main room and told them everything Wei Qing had said when she knelt down and kowtowed.

Wei Shuan had no objection to Wei Qing staying at his home temporarily; having an extra pair of chopsticks wasn't a big deal.

If Wei Qingzhen gets into university, their Wei family will be able to bring honor to their ancestors.

Besides, Li Hongying only has one daughter, so it's impossible for her to really abandon Wei Qing to her fate.

Li Hongying owes them a debt of gratitude for taking Wei Qing in.

Li Hongying's husband is now a government official; who knows, he might be able to help the family in the future.

The eldest sister-in-law, Bai Chunyan, and Wei Shan also had no objections.

With Wei Qing around, it's like having an extra free helper at home; they don't have to do any housework anymore.

As for the Wei brothers, Wei Guojun and Wei Guoliang, they had even less objection.

And so, Wei Qing was accepted by the Wei family.

After having breakfast early in the morning, Wei Shan happily combed her hair in front of the mirror.

Today is market day in town, and she made plans with her fellow villagers to go and see if there are any interesting items.

Her wedding with Zhao Jingyang was set for next month, and she went to town whenever she had free time.

On the one hand, it was to buy dowry, and on the other hand, it was to experience the life of city dwellers.

City dwellers live in apartment buildings, drink tap water, cook with coal, and don't need to work in the fields; they can simply go to the street to buy whatever they need.

The thought of her living such a good life in the future makes me dizzy with happiness.

"Xiaoshan, you can take this and use it."

Wei Shan's eyes lit up as she stared at what Wei Qing was holding.

Lipstick!

She had seen it at the counter of the town's supply and marketing cooperative, but didn't have the money to buy it.

"I bought this before, but I've only used it once or twice. I won't need it anymore, so it's a waste to leave it here."

Hearing Wei Qing say that, Wei Shan took the lipstick, unscrewed the cap, twisted out the rosy lipstick, and applied it to her lips while looking in the mirror.

After applying the lipstick, looking at the vibrant, luscious color in the mirror, Wei Shan said to Wei Qing with satisfaction:

"Then I won't be polite to you."

Wei Qing smiled, her gaze falling on the two braids on Wei Shan's chest. "Nowadays, young women in the city like to cut their hair short; it makes them look more energetic."

Wei Shan was eager to get closer to the city women, and upon hearing her say that, she became curious and inquired about what kind of short hair it was.

Wei Qing said, "I also need to get a haircut, let's go to the market together."

Wei Shan agreed.

When they arrived at the barbershop in town, Wei Qing cut her own hair first.

After getting her hair cut, Wei Shan thought it looked really good, so she also got the same short haircut as Wei Qing.

The two are cousins, and their facial features are somewhat similar, as are their heights.

After getting the same short haircut, the resemblance increased from three parts to five or six parts.

Those who don't know the situation might think the two are twin sisters.

After getting her hair cut, Wei Qing went to the market and taught Wei Shan how to dress like a young woman in the city.

Wei Shan benefited greatly from the experience and gradually grew closer to and trusted Wei Qing. Occasionally, Wei Qing would curiously inquire about her relationship with Zhao Jingyang, and she was happy to tell Wei Qing.

Every time she finished speaking, Wei Qing would praise her with an extremely envious tone, saying things like how lucky she was, which always greatly satisfied her vanity.

……

Before they knew it, it was time for the cultural troupe to go out and perform for the troops.

This time we're going to the old revolutionary base area of ​​Sichuan and Shaanxi.

In addition to the performing arts troupe, Lu Dezhao, as a representative of the military region, will also lead his team to go along.

This performance tour will last for a month, and An Hui has prepared plenty of warm clothing and medicines for her son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After a train journey of more than six hours, the team successfully arrived at the first stop of their performance tour – Bacheng.

After two days of rest, the performing arts troupe held its first performance at the Bacheng Theater.

Jiang Moli's short dance drama "Chasing Dreams" is also on the performance list.

This is also the first performance of "Chasing Dreams".

Jiang Moli stood below the stage, watching her creations being presented on the stage, feeling both proud and a little melancholy.

As the task progress bar continues to rise, the countdown to leaving has gradually begun.

After she completely disappears from this world, when people see "Chasing Dreams" again, will they miss the existence of her?
Thinking this, Jiang Moli summoned the system: "After I leave this world, will my memories here be erased?"

"Won't."

"So, do I just disappear into thin air, or do I leave in some other way?"

"The host can choose their own method of escape from the world, such as disappearing, natural disasters, etc."

"I see. So, can I choose to ascend to heaven on the spot? Like, a seven-colored Buddha light descends from the sky, and I ascend to immortality in front of everyone, riding on the Buddha light. Hmm, something like that."

system:"……"

The performance went smoothly.

In the afternoon, the reception office hosted a banquet at the local government canteen to entertain the cultural troupe and the military region's visiting group led by Lu Dezhao.

We're leaving for Tongxian early tomorrow morning.

After dinner, the members of the performing arts troupe decided to go out for a stroll, and Jiang Moli went along with them.

There are quite a few local specialties in Bacheng. Jiang Moli picked out some and bought them, planning to mail them back from the post office early tomorrow morning.

Back at the guesthouse, before I could even settle in, someone came to tell me to go to Yang Liqiong's room.

Upon arriving at Yang Liqiong's room, they found Fan Qiuyun there as well.

Yang Liqiong got straight to the point: "The show 'Chasing Dreams' has received a lot of complaints and boycotts from citizens, and the authorities have decided to suspend all subsequent performances of 'Chasing Dreams'."

Fan Qiuyun was very confused: "Why? What's wrong with the program?"

Yang Liqiong looked at Jiang Moli and said, "The implication is that the spirit promoted by 'Chasing Dreams' does not conform to the mainstream ideology and has a negative impact on family harmony and social stability."

For the first time, Jiang Moli felt helpless about this result.

The message of "Chasing Dreams" is to call on contemporary women to be independent and self-reliant, and to break free from the shackles of traditional ideas.

However, in people's current mindset, a woman's value lies in marriage, childbirth, and housework; a virtuous wife and loving mother is what everyone considers a good woman.

Even if a woman goes to work, she should be content with her lot, prioritize her family and marriage, and should not show her face in public.

The shackles and constraints imposed on women for thousands of years were not something an ordinary person like her could challenge or overturn.

After explaining the situation, Yang Liqiong told them to go back to their rooms and get some rest.

Although "Chasing Dreams" has been suspended, the performances to comfort and encourage people must continue.

Jiang Moli went back to her room, packed some of the sesame cakes she had bought, and hid a bottle of Jiangkouchun liquor in her clothes. The dog sneaked out the door.
