Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Five Little Lark Concert
On September 30th, Donggang Central Primary School held a concert by Shenxiang Little Bailing.
Each class in the school must arrange a program to participate in, and judges will score each program and select the first prize for the grade and the school's excellence award.
Therefore, as soon as school starts in the fall, teachers in each class begin to make full preparations.
There is self-study class every afternoon and all time is set aside for rehearsal.
Xu Haiyuan, a fourth-year student, and Xu Jinping, a second-year student, are both the best students in the class. How could they be left out in such an occasion?
Xu Jinping, Yang Haoyu, Jiang Chunhong, and Zhao Honghui were selected by the head teacher, Teacher Yu, to be the lead singers and perform poetry recitations.
Not to mention Xu Haiyuan, who was directly selected by the school to work with several fifth-grade students as the announcer.
Anyone who participates in such a program, especially a lead singer, host, etc., has certain requirements. They must look good and dress up beautifully.
The teacher of Class 1, Grade 2, decided that the children in the back chorus should wear white shirts, black pants and white shoes.
This set of clothes should be regarded as a unified feature of this era. As long as there is some kind of activity, it is basically this outfit.
Of course, not all families can afford it, and many children have to borrow it.
The teacher of Class 1, Grade 2 is young and has just started working for a few years.
It is the time to be proactive and work hard to evaluate outstanding teachers, and every activity is full of enthusiasm.
The teacher felt that the four leading singers in front of them should dress up better and stand out from others.
It happened that one day the teacher saw Xu Jinping, wearing a red plaid suspender skirt, a white shirt, red leather shoes, and a plastic hairpin on her head.
The teacher looked very good-looking and thought it would be appropriate to wear this dress for a performance.
But when I called Xu Jinping over and asked her carefully, I found out that her aunt had sent her this outfit back from the capital, not bought it locally.
The teacher felt embarrassed. The clothes were not easy to adjust and she was afraid that Jiang Chunhong's family would not be able to get them.
There was no other way, so the teacher called all the parents of the four lead singers over and wanted to discuss with them what clothes their children should wear for the performance.
Of course Su Anying doesn't care, her sister-in-law takes care of her children's clothes all year round.
Without waiting for the season, Xu Shiqin sent back a large package of everything from the capital.
There is no problem with Yang Haoyu's. The Yang family is in good condition, and they only have one child, so they are not lacking.
In addition, Xu Shiqin did not regard Yang Haoyu as an outsider. Every time he chose clothes for Xu Haiyuan, Xu Jinping and the others, he would send them back to Yang Haoyu.
Not to mention anything else, Yang Haoyu has a red plaid suit that matches Xu Jinping's skirt very well. It looks so handsome in it.
There is nothing wrong with these two children, and there is nothing wrong with Jiang Chunhong's family.
My parents both work in the grain depot, so I don’t need money. If I can’t afford it, I’ll have to go to a tailor shop to get it done.
But the other little boy, whose family conditions are average, is incomparable to these three.
I can still pick up my brother's white shirts, black pants, etc., but if I want other clothes, my family really doesn't have the ability.
Su Anying still remembered that Xu Haiyuan wore a blue suit when he attended Little Bailing's concert last year.
Xu Haiyuan went to school early. His clothes from last year should be suitable for the little boy to wear.
So I told Teacher Yu that I could lend it to Zhao Honghui.
But Jiang Chunhong’s is not good, there is no suitable one at home.
After all, Xu Jinping is more than one year younger than Jiang Chunhong, and Jiang Chunhong is taller than Xu Jinping.
Fortunately, Jiang Chunhong's family was not short of money, so she told her teacher that they would make a blue suspender skirt.
So, on September 30th, the four lead singers of the second grade class, two red and two blue, were all dressed up very smartly.
Xu Jinping has a good voice, sings well, and can recite poems without any problems. Her voice is full of emotion and she has won countless applause.
Not to mention Xu Haiyuan, who was dressed in a small black suit, white shirt and red bow tie.
The little boy is already fair, so he looks better dressed like this.
The teachers and students below, as well as the people watching the excitement around them, all looked at the good-looking little boy who announced the curtain. Some of them didn't recognize him, so they had to ask around.
I heard that he was the eldest son of Xu Shiyan's family, captain of the Young Pioneers of Donggang Central Primary School, and one of the city's three best students.
It suddenly dawned on me that he was a child of the Xu family. No wonder he was so outstanding.
At the end of the performance, Class 1 of the second grade won the first place in the second grade as expected, and also the first place in the school.
The children were very happy. Teacher Yu, the teacher of Grade 1, was so happy that he bought candies for the children.
Then I will inform everyone that there will be a five-day holiday for National Day including Saturday and Sunday.
Students in this year and year still have farm holidays, including May Day and National Day, but they won't be available in two years.
Because the children behave well, there will be no homework during the holidays.
Now, the children were even more happy. They rushed out of the classroom and ran home happily.
"Grandma, I'm back. We have a five-day holiday on October 1, and the teacher hasn't given us any homework yet."
Xu Jinping and Yang Haoyu held hands and ran into the yard, telling their grandma the good news immediately.
No matter what age you are, no matter how much you love to study, your child will always have the same opinion on the matter of teachers not leaving homework. I am so happy.
"Look at your little face, how happy are you that you don't have to do any homework?
That's just right. It seems like the weather is going to change tomorrow. You two should go change clothes quickly and help me pick all the vegetables home."
Zhou Guilan glanced at the two children, one wearing a red plaid skirt and the other wearing a red plaid suit, and quickly asked them to change their clothes and go out to work.
Anyway, Yang Haoyu was in the Xu family all day long, and he was no different from his own children. He did the work he had to do, and he never treated him as an outsider.
Yang Haoyu had clothes at Xu's house, and Zhou Guilan washed them and put them away.
So the two of them hurried back to the house, changed into a set of old clothes, and then went out to help Zhou Guilan pick vegetables.
The weather this autumn has been good. It has not rained and the sun has been good. There is no need to go into the house to dry the goods.
However, the weather forecast last night said it would rain today, and it would be a bit cloudy in the morning.
Zhou Guilan was worried that it would rain at night and then frost and cool down immediately on a sunny day, so she quickly put away all the vegetables in the vegetable garden.
Xu Chenghou took care of the Xu family's vegetable garden with great care, and the vegetables grew well.
There are still a lot of green beans on the bean rack, and the late cucumbers are growing just right. There are also many large and small eggplants in the eggplant field, not to mention slices of red peppers.
After all, Xu Jinping and Yang Haoyu were young, and the bean rack was too high to reach, so they carried earthen baskets to pick peppers, eggplants, tomatoes and the like.
Regardless of whether they are big or small, they are all picked back, even the young leaves of the peppers.
Blanch the young chili peppers, chili leaves, and tender beans in boiling water.
Add green onions and garlic slices, then add salt and MSG, marinate, and you can eat it in a few days.
It's delicious to eat with pickles.
Not to mention red peppers, they can be picked and threaded, hung under the eaves to dry, and kept for cooking, making spicy cabbage, etc.
Zhou Guilan also learned a way to make hot sauce from others. It happened that there were a lot of peppers planted this year, and there were many red peppers.

She also planned to make some chili sauce and put it away to eat later.
