The two of them walked under a tree not far away. Deputy Captain Li stood still and asked, "Comrade Gong, did you see Xu Wei when you went to the city this morning?"
"Xu Wei?"
Gong Linglong pretended to reminisce and shook his head: "It rained this morning. There were not many people in the car, only five or six people. It seems that there is no Xu Wei."
"Are you sure?" Deputy Captain Li narrowed his eyes.
"I was the first one to get on the bus, and the others got on one after another. I think they are all middle-aged."
Gong Linglong looked serious and pointed to the family building in the East District, "There is a middle-aged couple who burn boilers in the East District. There is also a middle-aged lesbian who is also from the East District. I don't know whose family she is. She is dressed like a She is quite fashionable and fashionable, and she even put on makeup when she went out this morning. I saw her talking to the couple who burned the boiler, and they knew each other."
"I don't know the other two middle-aged women, and I haven't seen them in the family area. They should be hitchhikers nearby."
He paused for a moment and said, "There is one person at the end. I didn't see her face clearly. She was dressed very ordinary and looked like a middle-aged person. She was hunched over and lowered her head. She shouldn't be Xu Wei."
Deputy Commander Li got some news here, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."
"Deputy Commander Li, did something happen again?" Gong Linglong asked pretending to be curious.
"The art troupe has a rehearsal tonight. Xu Wei didn't come when we just gathered. Some people said that she went to the city, but she never came back. I came to inquire." Deputy leader Li told her.
"Well, you can ask the two comrades who burned the boiler and the cadre's family. They all live in the family building in the East District, and they should all know Xu Wei. I was sitting in the front passenger seat, and there were also Maybe I didn’t see it clearly.”
"OK."
Deputy Captain Li nodded. He had nothing else to ask and was in a hurry to find someone. After that, he left.
When Gong Linglong came back, the sisters-in-law at the door of the house had dispersed. Her mother was already cooking in the kitchen, and she immediately helped choose the vegetables and wash them.
After dinner, everyone gathered on time and went to the conference room to rehearse. Gong Linglong reviewed the dance first.
Bai Narcissus watched from the side. After they finished dancing, he smiled and asked, "Yumiao, is there any music accompaniment?"
"Aunt Bai, no one in the family home knows a musical instrument except me, so we can only use the radio to play music accompaniment."
Bai Narcissus thought for a while and asked her: "Yu Miao, can you borrow the flute?"
Gong Linglong's eyes lit up and she guessed with certainty: "Mom, can you play the flute?"
"Well, I can play the flute. The flute accompaniment for your dance is the best. Playing music accompaniment is not that good."
Seeing that she could play the flute, Wang Yumiao smiled brightly and said hurriedly: "Aunt Bai, I will go to Commander Xue to borrow a flute now. Please wait a moment."
"Okay, go ahead."
The flute was quickly borrowed, and Bai Narcissus gave it a try. When they continued to rehearse, the melodious flute sound followed the dance.
"sounds amazing."
The family members stopped reciting and all gathered together to listen to music and watch the dance.
After one collaboration, Wang Yumiao beamed: "Aunt Bai, you played so well. With your musical accompaniment, I feel more comfortable dancing."
"I think your dance moves can be modified, and some movements can be added in the middle."
Bai Narcissus put down the flute, walked to the middle position, took the homemade water sleeve from her daughter's hand, turned her feet lightly, and showed off a set of smooth, graceful and elegant movements with ease.
"Pa bang bang..."
When the applause started, Bai Narcissus stopped and smiled slightly: "I haven't danced for many years, my waist is stiff."
"Aunt Bai, you dance so beautifully." Wang Yumiao looked at her with burning eyes.
Gong Linglong's eyes were also shining at this time, and he was very excited: "Mom, I found that you are a great treasure."
"When I was three years old, I started learning singing, dancing and musical instruments from your grandma. I was very interested in these things when I was a child. Your grandpa and grandma spent a lot of time and money on training me. They often sent me to participate in various competitions. In fact, it is quite hard to learn these things. Studying and rehearsing day after day, year after year, the hardships behind it, only those who have experienced it know best."
A distant memory came to Bai Narcissus' mind, but she quickly put it down and started talking to them about business, teaching them little by little to change their dance moves.
After teaching them both, she had nothing to do and went to teach the children of the military wives.
They have memorized the poem by heart during this time, but have not yet started training on expressions. Bai Narcissus is proficient in teaching and has participated in many literary competitions before. Taking advantage of his free time, he carefully teaches them the details of the performance.
Normally, everyone's rehearsal ends at 8:30, but tonight, with Bai Narcissus patiently teaching me, the military wives and children didn't leave until after 9:00.
Before, it was purely reciting. Tonight, the positions were arranged, everyone's posture and manners were fixed, and the intonation flaws were corrected. Everyone gradually fell into the role, rehearsing and reciting over and over again, getting more neat each time.
After returning home, Gong Linglong made two glasses of milk. Mother and daughter each drank one, poured hot water and soaked their feet together until ten o'clock before going back to the room to rest.
The next morning, Gong Linglong got up early and cooked breakfast for her mother. She put a lot of fruit into her backpack. After eating, she sent her to the car and waited for the commuter bus to leave before going home.
As soon as they reached the door, Yuan's mother caught up with her basket, "Linglong, I'm back from buying a fishing net. I'll have to ask you to help me get the fish trap later."
"Auntie, did you go to the small market so early?"
"There is no lard at home. I heard from Yaping that there is lard to buy at the small market, but you have to go there early. Why don't I go and buy it early before Gangzi wakes up?"
As she spoke, Mother Yuan took a pancake from the basket and gave it to her, "Linglong, I just bought it at the market. Eat one."
"Auntie, I've had breakfast, please save it for Gangzi." Gong Linglong didn't answer.
"Here, I bought five, enough for him to eat."
The elder was generous, so Gong Linglong accepted it with a smile and said: "Auntie, when you go to the back mountain to cut bamboo, please let Gangzi come to my house. I won't go out in the morning."
"Okay."
Mother Yuan followed her back and asked again: "Did you just send your mother to the car?"
"Yes, my mother catches the morning train to go to work in the city, and she can only have one day off a week."
When they were rehearsing the show last night, Mother Yuan had nothing to do and took her grandson to watch. She heard other military wives talk about White Narcissus and knew that she worked in a nursing home, but she was not curious to find out anything else.
They had just arrived home when Yu Ximei, who had just finished hanging the clothes, came over and asked with a mysterious face: "Linglong, I just received the news that Xu Wei is missing. Deputy Commander Li came to see you yesterday afternoon. Is that right?" Ask about this?"
