Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Are the conditions for joining Youth Club too high?"

Yu Li frowned slightly and said: "Judging from the current economic income, few people can afford to pay 100 yuan a year as membership fees."

"Besides, the age limit is no less than 16 years old and no more than 25 years old. This condition is too harsh."

"This is just a screening condition for membership, not a core assessment condition. You missed the point."

Zuo Jie sat upright on the sofa and explained very seriously: "Age and membership fees are just standards for testing people's hearts."

"Besides, the benefits you can enjoy by joining the membership are far greater than the assessment requirements. Brother Li still guarantees this."

Li Xuewu nodded, not in a hurry to explain, but motioned for him to continue.

"The core assessment conditions include academic qualifications, background, work, interests and hobbies, etc."

After several months of training, Zuo Jie already has the appearance of a talented young man.

When reporting on work, I am no longer lazy or joking as before, I am very rigorous.

"The requirement of being over 16 years old ensures the legal compliance of the foundation for the establishment of Youth Exchange, and at the same time, it also allows the development potential of the target to be examined."

Although his notebook was open, he didn't look at it. It was obvious that he had kept these in mind.

"Based on high school education, if you are already working, this condition can be relaxed to junior high school, but the work situation must be investigated and inspected."

"Those who have graduated from high school and have not joined the workforce must conduct an investigation on their background, as well as on their knowledge, social interaction, conversation, interests and hobbies, as well as their plans for future life."

"Those who have graduated from high school or above and are already working must conduct an investigation on their work situation, and conduct an interview to examine their family background and overall strength."

Zuo Jie closed his notebook and said: "Education level is a major criterion for membership assessment. People without learning ability will not have much potential."

"That is to say——"

Yu Li thought about it and asked: "Educated people should look at their knowledge, unlearned people should look at their abilities, and those who are knowledgeable and capable should look at their backgrounds."

"Yes, but in the final analysis it still depends on potential."

Zuo Jie nodded and said: "Those who have not participated in work have not received training. The only basis for judging potential is learning and interest."

"Those who are already working can naturally evaluate a person's potential from work ability and social ability, and then conduct basic and personality tests."

He spread his hands and said: "No one is a god, and I am only a young man. Naturally, I dare not say who has a promising future and who has no future."

"However, if I can make the mesh of the sieve thinner, the fish I catch will be better after all, don't you think so, Brother Li?"

"Well, that makes sense—!"

Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile and nodded. He took a sip from the teacup Zhou Xiaobai brought to him and asked, "How many people have been recruited? Are there ten?"

"No, seven, seven for now"

Zuo Jie said calmly: "Youth Club adheres to the principle of preferring lack rather than excess, being responsible to the organization, and being responsible to its members, and strictly controls the entry level."

"What is the channel to join the membership? Sign up by yourself? Or..."

Yu Li thought for a while and asked: "How was the interview arranged? Did you go for the interview, or did you ask someone for help?"

"The interview is mainly about club management"

Zuo Jie explained: "I am very familiar with Deputy Director Wang Zheng. She helped me a lot, and of course, Brother Huang and Brother Ma."

"As for the channels for membership, I am currently considering the sponsorship system, with two quotas for club members and three quotas for club management each year."

He looked at Li Xuewu and asked with a smile: "Brother Li, can we afford it?"

"Haha - don't ask me, I don't know"

Li Xuewu chuckled, waved his hand, pointed at Yu Li and said, "Ask Director Yu, although she is not in charge of your money bag, how much does she know?"

"Even if there are fifty members and seven managers, there are only 120 assessment quotas per year."

Yu Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "How high is the elimination rate? Not all of them will pass, right?"

"On the contrary, it can be very strict."

Zuo Jie touched his nose and said: "It is tentatively planned to start recommendations in February every year, start inspections in March, and officially accept them on May 4th Youth Day."

"Of course, this is the first year, and the situation is quite special. I am doing all the inspections and investigations, mainly with the help of Sister Wang Zheng's relationship."

He looked at Li Xuewu Hui's report: "It is expected that 40 people will officially become members of Youth Hui during this year's Youth Day."

"Well, that's good. Rare things are worth more."

Li Xuewu gave him the project, and Wang Zheng taught him. Huang Qian helped him. There was no problem with the general direction.

"It doesn't matter if there are too many people or too few people. What's important is to organize the activities and people's hearts well."

"Yes, I have also discussed this with Sister Wang Zheng. Youth Club mainly focuses on learning and exercise, and the same is true for the membership resources provided."

Zuo Jiehui reported: "The first is learning resources, including culture, art, physical skills, shooting and other professional skills."

"The second is identity resources. If you have the status of a Youth Club member, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to Dongfeng No. 1 Club membership after passing the annual inspection."

"Youth Club members will also customize exclusive badges, numbers, clothing, briefcases, etc. to facilitate contact and help each other in work and life."

"The last one is Zhengzhi Resources. The Youth Club regularly organizes exchange activities and invites members of the Dongfeng No. 1 Club to participate in exchanges."

Zuo Jie looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "Brother Wu, I have made many study plans. Please support us more."

"Haha——! I don't care!"

Li Xuewu smiled and teased him: "President Zuo is capable and talented. These problems are naturally not a problem for you. How can I be used?"

"Brother Wu, please stop teasing him."

Luo Yun glanced at Zuo Jie, stood up, walked to Li Xuewu's sofa and sat on the armrest.

"You still have to draw a line for him. He is so young and has no serious work experience no matter how hard he trains. You can't just let him go."

"Look at-!"

Li Xuewu pointed to Luo Yun who was pushing his shoulder in a funny way, and asked Zuo Jie and others: "You have to find a girlfriend, okay? Someone is thinking about you."

"Hahaha--"

Several people in the room followed Li Xuewu's words and looked at Zuo Jie teasingly, and they all laughed.

Luo Yun felt a little embarrassed, pushed Li Xuewu's shoulder and said, "Brother Wu, I am also a member of Youth Club. I am fighting for my own interests."

"Well, this is a good explanation. It seems more mature than the one just now."

Li Xuewu didn't care about Zuo Jie's self-interest. He knew that Luo Yun and Zhou Xiaobai were both in Qingnianhui, so this was considered a first-come-first-served basis.

"The steel rolling mill has some benefits, including joint trade and internal benefits. I can allocate some to you at my discretion."

He took a sip of hot tea and said: "The service department is gradually connecting with the trade supply chain of the steel rolling mill. You just wait for the distribution."

"There are also internal resources of the steel rolling mill, including preferential prices for cars and motorcycles, admission qualifications to the factory's education system, etc."

Li Xuewu put down his tea cup, looked at Zuo Jie and said, "There are never enough resources. It all depends on how you use them. It is not enough to attract members with material enjoyment and political resources."

"Youth Hui can also find a unique path, learning while growing, exercising while growing, and realizing while growing."

He nodded slowly and said: "Even if the members of the Future Youth Club cannot enter the Dongfeng No. 1 Club, they must be outstanding people when they walk out."

It is difficult to enter the Youth Club, and it is even more difficult to enter the Dongfeng No. 1 Club. This is the standard perception.

Youth Exchange can examine work and identity background, and recruit members for training and inspection.

However, the screening conditions for Dongfeng No. 1 Club are stuck. The first requirement is deputy director level and above.

In other words, even if you join Youth Club, but you did not reach the position of deputy director level or above during the youth cadre period, you will not be able to enter the Dongfeng No. 1 Club.

This door exists virtually, but it actually exists. The threshold is the secondary point.

In the past, it could be said that Wang Zheng was a serious student, but she was the first to join, just like Luo Yun and Zhou Xiaobai of Qingnianhui.

Of course, these two people are his own people that Li Xuewu is training, and their future is guaranteed.

Li Xuewu placed high demands and expectations on Youth Hui.

It is not only the "nurturing field" of Dongfeng No. 1, but also an incubation port for young cadres.

Taking Dongcheng as the foundation, attracting young talents to cultivate and influence them, and then receiving the education and guidance of Dongfeng No. 1 Club, they will surely become a star.

Dongfeng One's temporary recruitment standard is cadre status. This year, Li Xuewu intends to discuss with other managers to introduce some scholars and scientific researchers to increase the membership richness.

This is a place for mutual learning and improvement, not a playground for eating, drinking and having fun.

Continuously introduce new knowledge and new ideas, and collide, react, fuse, and ferment in a safe furnace until a new basis for thinking is produced.

"Brother Wu means that you have to have your own thoughts, which are realistic thoughts, not random thoughts, and don't set your goals too high."

Luo Yun looked at her boyfriend and warned: "Relying on Dongfeng No. 1 to open the Youth Club can be an orderly inheritance, but it must also have its own essence."

"I know, the essence is growth"

Zuo Jie said thoughtfully: "The most precious thing in Youth Center is actually youth, the future, and unlimited possibilities and choices."

"Don't define it too clearly"

Li Xuewu shook his finger and said: "I have not defined its existence in detail, so there is no need for you to draw a circle for yourself and limit it."

"Yes, I understand"

Zuo Jie raised his head, looked at Li Xuewu confidently and said, "I will make full use of the resources here and the connections here."

"Finally I figured it out——!"

Shen Guodong smiled and patted his leg and said, "It must be your partner who talks about you!"

"Hahaha--!"

——

Coming out of the office of the director of the management office, Luo Yun smiled and joked with Li Xuewu.

She held Zhou Xiaobai's hand and walked out. Zuo Jie was still talking to Li Xuewu.

Neither she nor Zhou Xiaobai went home tonight, so they rested in the dormitory, and Zuo Jie did the same.

They took the first step, and when they reached the door of the billiard room, Zuo Jie caught up with them.

"Brother Wu, won't you go back tonight?"

"I don't know, why am I asking?"

Zuo Jie was stunned when faced with Luo Yun's question, and said funnyly: "How about I go back and ask?"

"Are you stupid?!"

Luo Yun rolled his eyes and said, "You said you got so much help from Xiaobai, why don't you want to help? It's just a matter of course."

"Oh—you can't help but mention this!"

Zhou Xiaobai really wanted to know if Li Xuewu was staying here tonight, but she was embarrassed to tell Luo Yun.

Even if Li Xuewu lived here, she wouldn't dare to do anything. This was not Jinmen.

Zuo Jie reacted and said sheepishly to Zhou Xiaobai: "I really didn't expect this, I'm sorry, Xiaobai."

He pointed in the direction of the door and said, "I didn't see Brother Li's car, which means he didn't want to go back tonight, maybe he wants to live here."

"What if I call the driver?" Luo Yun rolled his eyes and said, "What's the use of just guessing."

"It's impossible. I'll have to fight early."

Zuo Jie shook his head and said: "Besides, their club management will have a meeting here tomorrow. He may have run away because he wanted to save money."

Luo Yun pouted but did not refute this statement. Instead, he pulled Zhou Xiaobai towards the dormitory and said as he walked: "Next time you report to Brother Wu, remember to make a draft. Don't think about anything."

"What's wrong? Isn't it good today?" Zuo Jie shrugged his shoulders with some confusion and said, "Brother Wu said he was very satisfied just now."

"It doesn't matter if he's satisfied, you have to let him take the initiative to pay attention to you, you know?"

Luo Yun looked back at him and said: "You have to know that whether it is a club or a youth club, the core is him, not you."

Walking into the courtyard, there was no one around now. She frowned and nodded at Zuo Jie and said, "Don't think too highly of yourself or be self-righteous. Ask for instructions more often and report frequently."

"As for -"

Zuo Jie was a little unwilling to hear what Luo Yun said, and frowned: "Brother Wu requested this project, and he appointed me as the person in charge."

"You still know!"

Luo Yun glared and said, "Make rules and systems. Have you asked Brother Wu?"

"I just knew to ask you, Sister Wang Zheng, right?"

She nodded Zuo Jie and said, "Do you think Wang Zheng and Huang Qian are the most helpful to you? Do you still remember what you just said?"

"Think carefully——"

"What did I say?"

Zuo Jie followed Luo Yun to the dormitory in confusion, complaining: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you always talking to me?"

"Am I quarreling with you? You are really capable. I don't know what to do with you!"

Luo Yun stopped and turned around to look at Zuo Jie and said, "Think about what Sister Yu Li asked you when you reported, how did you answer, and what did Brother Wu say when you asked for money!"

While Zuo Jie was still thinking about this, Luo Yun pointed at his chest and asked, "What do you mean you didn't see the point? This is what you should say? What qualifications do you have to talk to her like this!"

"No matter how great your Youth Club is, it still has to hold activities in this courtyard? Do you know who is in charge of this courtyard?"

Luo Yun glared at him and reprimanded: "I think your ability has not improved, but your morale has become high."

She pointed in the direction of the management office and said, "Now that you are out, Shen Guodong and Yu Li stay there to talk to Brother Li. Do you know what this means?"

"Don't think too highly of yourself. Brother Li is already looking at you. I'll tell you who to talk to when you ask for money."

Luo Yun looked at Zuo Jie as if he were a fool and said, "Do you know what the topics of the club management meeting tomorrow will be?"

"The daily management of the club will be officially handed over to the management office. From now on, Yu Li will be your superior and a serious leader!"

"Brother Li has told you several times to report to Yu Li, and Yu Li has also taken the initiative to ask you, what are you doing? You are impatient to report to her!"

"I...I don't have it either."

Zuo Jie seemed to understand what was going on and murmured: "I really didn't think about it that much. I just thought about being a manager. Setting rules and regulations and interviewing members are trivial tasks. I just don't want to trouble Brother Wu."

"So you dare to make your own decisions?"

Luo Yun sneered and nodded: "I don't know who gave you the courage. If Brother Wu doesn't nod tonight, I'll see how you open the Youth Club!"

"Zuo Jie, you have to listen carefully to Luo Yun's words. She is not scolding you, belittling you, or bullying you."

Zhou Xiaobai stood aside and persuaded: "I felt that you were despising Sister Yu Li at that time. You looked at Brother Wu when the report was critical several times. The way Sister Yu Li looked at you was wrong."

"I know, Xiaobai, I didn't think much about it"

Zuo Jie walked to the wooden chair beside the corridor and sat down. He held his head and said, "I really didn't want to despise anyone, let alone ignore anyone."

"But you did this-"

Zhou Xiaobai took Luo Yun and sat beside him and said, "You have no experience working in an agency, but you have to know that he doesn't have to read it, but you have to report it."

"Besides, you don't know if he will read it. Even if he doesn't, he will leave it to professionals. Do you think this is the case?"

"Well, I'm just too busy."

Zuo Jie covered his face and said: "Recently, I have only been thinking about how to put up a fight quickly, and I have forgotten why I put up a fight."

He looked at Luo Yun and said, "But I can guarantee that everything I did was aboveboard, and I didn't betray Brother Wu or the club."

"Otherwise, why do you think you can get financial and policy support from Brother Wu tonight?"

"Otherwise, why do you think you can still sit in this position and talk?"

Luo Yun glanced at him and said: "Brother Wu doesn't have the same experience as you. I know that you are young and just starting your career, and there will always be times when you lose your mind."

"However, it's already reached this point, and we have already recruited seven members. You didn't even report to Brother Wu, and you even created some system on your own initiative."

She frowned and looked at Zuo Jie and asked, "Are you sure that your personal relationship with Brother Wu is so good that you don't have to worry about his doubts about your loyalty?"

"Luo Yun, it's not that serious."

Zhou Xiaobai shook Luo Yun's hand and said: "Qingnianhui, like Zuo Jie, is a seedling planted by Brother Wu. There must be a process of growth."

"But you can't expect Brother Wu to always be so tolerant and understanding of you."

Luo Yun looked at Zuo Jie and said, "Even if Brother Wu understands, are you sure Yu Li can understand too?"

"I didn't think about this, and I didn't know that Yu Li was going to be my supervisor."

Zuo Jie sighed and said, "I've been really busy lately and haven't paid attention to anything."

"I just keep my head down to plow the land, but I don't know if I have raised my head to see if I have plowed other people's land."

Luo Yun couldn't afford to be angry with him, so he said helplessly: "Yu Li can take over the shift in the management office and is also in charge of the office business at the recycling station. Su Qing is helping her out. Don't you understand?"

She asked bitterly: "Didn't you have a good relationship with her before?"

"Yes, even if I'm busy, I can't see you."

Zuo Jie scratched the right side of his face, his face burning with panic. He was not a fool, he was much smarter than Luo Yun and Zhou Xiaobai, otherwise Li Xuewu would not have trained him.

The reason why Luo Yun and Zhou Xiaobai, who were bystanders clearly, noticed that he was going to drift off and warned him was that he was completely confused.

When these issues were explained and explained clearly, he himself came to his senses.

Today, he came to report to Brother Wu on the progress of the youth exchange work, but it was Yu Li who asked him, and she asked him several times. He thought Yu Li had a problem with him.

In particular, Brother Wu never expressed his opinion and even asked him to report to Yu Li but he didn't pay attention.

Later, Luo Yun was even asked to take the initiative to stand up and help him smooth things over with Brother Wu.

He didn't hear the truth about what Brother Wu ordered, he just thought it was a joke.

I am really stupid. When I am in Brother Wu's position, how can I just joke casually when talking about work? There must be something wrong.

"Stop pulling your hair. How can you become smarter if you are bald?"

Luo Yun still felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to see him struggling and uncomfortable. He gently patted his hand holding his hair and reminded him: "You know how to ease the relationship, right? You don't need me to teach you this, right?"

"I know, I know"

Zuo Jie raised his head and smiled tiredly, and said, "Thank you, Luo Yun. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been so complacent without knowing it."

"Oh, stop laughing, it's even uglier than crying -"

Luo Yun slapped his face away in disgust and said, "Those resources you mentioned, even if Brother Wu has promised you, don't just use them foolishly. Ask Sister Yu Li for instructions, do you understand?"

"I know, I know, I won't make such a low-level mistake again, just this once! I promise!"

Zuo Jie smiled bitterly and patted his forehead and said: "Next time if I am so arrogant and arrogant, just give me a slap to wake me up."

"Hmph - who was still unconvinced just now?"

Luo Yun snorted, curled his lips and turned away, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Zuo Jie was generous. Although he still cared about the embarrassment in the office, he still took the initiative to hug Luo Yund and said, "I'm sorry."

"Oh my god - why are you like this!"

Zhou Xiaobai stood up and covered his eyes as if he couldn't bear to see it, and said: "People in the public don't know how it feels to take care of me."

"Hey - you have really changed!"

Luo Yun slapped Zuo Jie's hand away. She was not used to intimate gestures outside, not even at night, not outside.

But this did not delay her from counterattacking Zhou Xiaobai: "I was in the office just now, and I don't know who it was..."

"Yeah - Luo Yun! You dare to say it!"

Zhou Xiaobai pouted, blushed with embarrassment, kicked Luo Yun and said: "We hurt each other, right?"

——

"Are you going back tonight?"

Yu Li sent Li Xuewu and Shen Guodong out and looked at Li Xuewu with some resentment.

"Would you like me to find someone to drive you?"

"No, I'll just ask Guodong to drive me. It's just one more thing to do."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and refused, without looking at Yu Li. He raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already half past nine.

He tightened his clothes and said, "I'll come over at eight o'clock tomorrow. I'll leave early. I have to visit relatives in the afternoon."

"I can't say what time they will arrive."

Yu Li pursed her lips. She didn't believe it when Li Xuewu said he would take Shen Guodong's car home.

Han Jiankun and his car were already waiting here before going home, so there was no need to take Shen Guodong's Willys.

Especially now, in the middle of the night, and their children are young, how could he go back in the middle of the night.

This is a way of saying that if you have children at home, especially the younger ones, they basically won’t go out to play at night.

Another thing is that the adults try not to go home too late, for fear of bringing something dirty into the house at night.

You say you don’t believe this stuff, but you can’t find the reason why your child won’t sleep and cries for no reason at night.

After all, the child is young and cannot speak. He cannot express clearly what he is afraid of or what makes him feel uncomfortable.

You, sir, just suffer the consequences. If he cries, don't go to bed. It'll be up to you when it comes up.

It can be said that the child is hot, the child is cold, the child has a rash, but this is not the reason.

But can you guarantee that it won’t happen?

Try not to hang out in the middle of the night, adults and children alike.

If you are a young person, you can play and sing every night.

Wake up at 2 pm, have breakfast at 4 pm, then eat, drink and have fun until 9 pm, go directly to the bar and spend the night, go home and go to bed at 7 am.

It doesn't matter how you play this night, even if you are drunk and someone picks up your body on the roadside, it will only be a physical injury.

Young people are full of firepower and will not do this.

Li Xuewu himself is not afraid, but he cannot guarantee that his children will not be afraid either.

So what he said about taking Shen Guodong's car home, Yu Li just thought he was talking nonsense.

Of course, everything had already been explained to her, and she wouldn't want to get to the bottom of it to know where he was going.

Where else could we go! ——

"Yeah, okay, just stop here."

Li Xuewu stopped Shen Guodong and jumped out of the passenger seat of Willis.

Shen Guodong glanced at the door and asked with a smile: "Go in over the wall?"

"Haha, you don't care about me——"

Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Remember to take care of your yard and Biaozi's, don't mess with it."

After saying that, he motioned for him to get out quickly so as not to delay his own affairs.

Shen Guodong gave an American salute, smiled evilly, stepped on the accelerator and left.

Li Xuewu stood at the gate and watched the car lights disappear at the entrance of the street, then turned and went up the steps.

As he was looking at where on the courtyard wall he could climb in, footsteps suddenly came from the courtyard.

"Ahem——"

"Ha--stop coughing and open the door."

Li Xuewu recognized Tong Huimei's voice and greeted her with a smile.

Squeak——

The wooden door was opened after the door bars were removed. Tong Huimei poked her head and looked out, and was surprised and happy to see Li Xuewu standing outside the door.

"You scared me!"

She opened the door and motioned for Li Xuewu to go in, saying angrily: "Jiaojiao and I were listening to a play. She said there was a car noise at the door. Maybe it was you."

"Then why doesn't she come out?"

Li Xuewu entered the courtyard with a smile and teased her: "What if there are bad people? It's better not to come out next time."

"No bad guy can get in. There are people living around here. I can hear every shout."

Tong Huimei has lived here for a long time, and she has gradually become familiar with the neighbors.

It’s hard to say whether it’s better to have more, but it’s okay to meet and say hello, do business or just chat.

With the foundation between neighbors, she and Jin Jiaojiao no longer feel scared at night when they live here.

When neighbors asked about their jobs, they just said they worked at the club.

They are all in the same street, which is familiar, and the neighbors are not wary of them.

This courtyard was previously used as a residence for opera singers. Now it is normal for two girls to live there.

"She was scared and said that if you weren't the one who would be frightened, I would be too."

Tong Huimei smiled and said: "I'm afraid that you will jump into the yard and ask me to open the door at the door of the room. It will be frightening, especially after going to bed."

"I know, I won't do that next time."

Li Xuewu, on the other hand, followed what was good and cared about their feelings and did not give orders.

Tong Huimei had long been accustomed to his gentleness. She turned around and closed the door, put down the door bars, and followed him into the yard.

"Why are you here today? Are you from the club?"

She blinked and said, "I didn't even hear you came to the club."

“I came here after get off work in the evening.”

Li Xuewu explained: "I was late to do some work over there. I still have work tomorrow, so I didn't want to go back and mess around. I came here to rest for the night."

He looked at Tong Huimei with a smile and asked, "What's wrong? You're not welcome?"

"Look what you said, whenever you come, I will be happy anytime."

Tong Huimei smiled and said: "Jiaojiao too."

"What are you talking about me?"

Jin Jiaojiao opened the door wearing slippers. She heard Li Xuewu's voice and greeted with a smile: "I made a bet with my sister just now. I told her it must be you who came, but she still didn't believe it."

"Yes, yes, your ears are bright."

Tong Huimei smiled and let Li Xuewu in, and at the same time asked Jin Jiaojiao to make tea, while she went to the kitchen to fetch face wash.

Jin Jiaojiao followed Li Xuewu into the house, helped him take off his coat and asked with a smile: "Don't you have to go to work today? Isn't it Saturday?"

"Work, go to the club after get off work"

Li Xuewu sat on the armchair, rolled up his shirt sleeves, looked around the room and asked, "Is the stove still burning?"

"Yes, we have to practice in the evening."

Jin Jiaojiao walked up to Li Xuewu with the tea cup and put it on the coffee table. She explained in a sweet voice: "I sweat a lot and don't wear enough clothes. I'm afraid of getting sick, so I keep the stove burning."

"Well, are there enough firewood?"

Li Xuewu took a sip from the tea cup. He would drink a lot of tea tonight, so he should wait until he gets up.

Jin Jiaojiao packed up the fans and swords on the Eight Immortals table and replied: "It's enough. Brother Guodong sent a lot of them over. He also told us that if we are missing anything, just tell the club and he will know."

"Well, he told me"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I've been busy with work recently and can't take care of you. Do you need anything in life?"

"There is nothing needed, we are both simple"

Tong Huimei, who walked in with a washbasin, replied: "You can buy whatever you need, or you can tell the club and Brother Guodong will send it over."

"I wish I could eat all three meals a day at the club, and we won't have a fire when we go home."

She motioned to the washbasin, stepped on her feet and helped Li Xuewu roll up the collar of his shirt, and then wrapped it with a towel.

"Want me to wash it for you?"

"No, I'd better do it myself"

Li Xuewu took off his watch and handed it to her and said, "I have a burden if you serve me like this. You are no longer the eldest son of a landlord."

"Look what you said, where is this from?"

Tong Huimei put down her watch and waited beside him with a towel. After he finished washing, she held the towel and wiped his face.

Li Xuewu is tall. Although she is slim, she still has to put her feet up.

"I heard an old man say before that a young master from a landlord's family is more comfortable than this. When he comes to eat, he opens his mouth and when he comes to wear clothes, it is not a lie, it is true."

"Yeah, that's what they all say."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, looked at her and asked, "Is there such an introduction in the play?"

"There are many, but they all pass by in passing."

Tong Huimei pointed to the books on the cabinet and said: "There are many books, some criticizing, some admiring, and some discussing."

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the books hidden on the cabinet here. Being an opera singer does not mean that he is uneducated.

You can say that they don't have diplomas, because they don't go to school, so of course they don't have diplomas.

But it would be nonsense to say that there is no culture. The culture in the drama is no less than in historical works, and is even more interesting, but it is not rigorous enough.

For the same libretto, if you know the background, era, and influence of the story in the play relatively well, or even have a thorough understanding of it, you will naturally sing it with emotion and flavor.

Otherwise, if everyone can sing dry dramas, why would there be so few actors?

Mai Xiaotian pointed out the way for the two of them. It is not enough to have a good foundation or a good voice. They also need to have cultural background.

The competition between artists is a real fight. If you have a good voice, hey, so do I!

You have good work, hey, so do I!

I have cultural heritage, but you may not!

Comparing with each other, I will defeat you!

Now the basic skills of the two of them are quite solid. Learning singing from Mai Xiaotian and his wife is a rapid progress, and it's smooth and smooth.

However, after all, the two of them are still young. One is eighteen and the other is seventeen, which is the most critical period for the growth of skills.

Step by step, it is no longer walking like building basic skills or learning drama, but crawling.

From now until the age of twenty-six or seven, how high you can climb depends entirely on your personal destiny.

If you say that at the age of 26 or 7, I have a personal performance style and a personal perception and understanding of opera, it means that you have become an actor.

Becoming an actor is not about the audience praising you and you becoming an actor.

But when your skills are perfect and attract the audience to praise you, you are considered an actor.

To put it more intuitively, can you say that the little black fat man in future generations did not speak well of his previous relationship?

On the contrary, just listen to it, it's old and cynical, laughing and scolding.

But, compared to the time when he was popular, you can always feel that he owed some popularity back then.

He is anxious, anxious for life, anxious for career, anxious for fame and fortune, so the artistic works will be sharp when they are realized.

what to do? Use time and culture to sharpen your spirit, accumulate it, and you will become enlightened.

Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao have also reached this stage. They are very skilled in their skills. They can master whatever they learn and master.

But, when Mai Xiaotian and his wife taught them, they discovered that the two girls had accumulated too much experience and were walking too fast and in too much of a hurry.

Having ability is naturally a good thing, but you have to stretch it a little bit. As the old saying goes, you have to cherish your blessings.

You deserve to enjoy so much blessing in your life, but you wasted it all in your teens and twenties. Do you still want to live?

A person's artistic career is short-lived. Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao are now receiving guidance from famous teachers and improving their skills rapidly, which is in sharp contrast with the needs of real-life performances.

In this society, there is no soil for them to display their talents. It is as if they have been isolated and learned the skills of slaying dragons.

In life, the two people in the dream can only keep studying to numb themselves.

Therefore, the loneliness in reality and the anxiety in study made the two of them feel confused.

It is useless to learn well or quickly.

Mai Xiaotian found some books from his collection and the club's library and gave them to the two of them, telling them to read them and understand them.

After finishing cleaning and lying on the bed, Jin Jiaojiao was still talking about this matter.

She can't read books, especially when the words are densely piled on a page.

When she was a child, she was forced to learn by her mistress using the hand-clap method, including reciting poems and plays.

Now she has started to learn drama, and after knowing so much, she still has to read, which is a bit unbearable.

"Have you ever thought about what will happen in the future? Five years, eight years, fifteen years, or beyond."

Li Xuewu was lying on the bed, looking at the gauze curtain on the top of the bed, and said: "Singing, life, or a certain stage of life, a certain pursuit."

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Jin Jiaojiao got up and lay on Li Xuewu's chest, looked at him and asked, "Can't we always live like this?"

"Haha, then why are you studying opera? Are you just living like this?"

Li Xuewu held his head slightly and glanced at her, his smart eyes were like a deer's, pure and confused.

"Learning opera...learning opera is to sing opera"

Jin Jiaojiao thought for a while, frowned slightly and said, "But now we have no place to sing, and we still need you to support us."

"It's natural for me to support you."

Li Xuewu patted her slender waist and said, "I can support you even if you want to live like this for your whole life."

"You don't have to think about making money to live, let alone the troubles in life. You only need to think about why you learn this opera."

"I don't know..."

Jin Jiaojiao looked at Tong Huimei on the other side. Her sister was also confused at this moment, but she didn't say it like her.

"What I want to say is that just because you don't have a stage to perform opera now, it doesn't mean you won't have one in the future."

Li Xuewu pulled the pillow and raised his head and said, "The reason why I support you to continue pursuing this art is that I hope you can stand on the stage confidently and brilliantly one day, show your skills that you have practiced for many years, and shock everyone's jaws."

"Really...really?"

Jin Jiaojiao looked at him in surprise and asked, "Can we perform on stage? How long will it take? How long will it take?"

"It doesn't depend on the external situation."

Li Xuewu looked at her and said, "It depends on when you are ready to make a big splash."

"I...I think I know what you mean. Let me think about it. Let me think about it."

Jin Jiaojiao was pinching her chin and thinking, and Tong Huimei over there had already raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu with a sparkling look as he approached.
