My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 219 The Dance Troupe Disbanded
After Aunt Li and Xiang Xin gave birth one after another, life became calmer.

Early in the morning, Yang Lina was leading the children to pick grapes. Looking forward, the grapes finally ripened.

Lele carried a small basket in her hand, and the children all looked excited. There is a lack of fruit in the market now, and the little ones have long been salivating over the grapes in the yard.

Last year, due to climate change.

The vines are almost dead, and after careful care this year, they finally returned to fruiting, and the yield seems to be quite large.

"Mom, that bunch is red." Lele shouted, pointing to a bunch of half-green and half-red grapes.

Yang Lina looked at the basket in her little daughter's hand, which contained at least two or three catties of grapes, so she shook her head and said:
"I won't pick it anymore, I'll pick the rest after I raise it, a little bit a day, if I pick too much, I won't have anything to eat later."

Lele pouted.

Ma Lingling stepped forward and pulled her little cousin: "Lele, let's wash the grapes!"

"Okay." Lele immediately became happy again.

After washing the grapes, the children were still very sensible. Lele picked the reddest bunch of grapes and handed them to Mama Xu.

"Grandma, eat grapes." Lele had a "treasure offering" expression.

Mama Xu happily took the grapes: "Okay, grandma, taste it to see if it's sweet or not. Our family is very filial."

After speaking, he picked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Grandma, is it sweet?" Ma Xu asked impatiently.

Mama Xu spat out the grape seeds, "Well, it's really sweet, I don't remember it being this sweet before?"

"We learned in biology class that the large temperature difference between day and night is conducive to the accumulation of sugar. Isn't the raisin in Xinzhou very famous!" Ma Lingling explained with a smile.

Yang Lina came over and interjected: "Oh, what Lingling said really makes sense. Now the temperature is more than 40 degrees during the day and seven or eight degrees below zero at night. The temperature difference between day and night is almost [-] degrees."

"Okay, try it too, it tastes really good."

Immediately afterwards, Mama Xu peeled a grape for each of the three grandchildren, carefully removing the grape seeds.

"Good seven... so sweet... grandma wants more!" Dabao said while hugging grandma's thigh.

"Okay, okay, grandma will peel it for you."

On the other hand, Ke Ke’s speed was very fast. In less than 5 minutes, the grapes were almost wiped out, and there were only the last two bunches left, which were reserved for Xu Dong and Xu’s father.

"Mom, why don't you pick some more?" Lele said coquettishly.

Yang Lina shook her head resolutely: "No, the leftovers are still green. If you eat too much, your teeth will become sour. Let alone eat at noon, you can't bite the tofu."

"No, I want to."

"It's useless for you to act like a baby. If you say no, you can't do it. School will start soon. Hurry up and do your summer homework. I will check it later." Yang Lina said with a straight face.

Xu's mother came over and coaxed: "Lele, do your homework well, grandma will make you air-dried chicken at noon."

"Grandma is so nice!"

……

In the afternoon, Mother Xu went out with Er Bao in her arms.

We made an appointment yesterday. At two o'clock this afternoon, the square dance troupe will have a party organized by Wang Xiujuan.

Seriously speaking, the last time Mama Xu did a square dance was probably in March, less than half a year ago.

The meeting place is still the old place, the activity center for the elderly in the Xiangxie Family Community.

"Old Zhang, you're here." Wang Xiujuan came over to say hello.

"Well, Old Wang, you came quite early!"

"It's okay to be idle at home, so I might as well go out early." Wang Xiujuan replied casually, and then teased the child: "Little baby, tell grandma, how precious are you?"

Although Wang Xiujuan has been to the courtyard house many times, she still can't tell the triplets apart.

"I'm Erbao." Erbao said in a milky voice.

"Wow, it's the second treasure. Our second treasure is so cute. Let grandma hug her?"

After Wang Xiujuan finished speaking, she took the second treasure from Xu's mother, then went to the children's play area on the side, and put the little guy in it.

This is the first time that Er Bao has seen so many little friends. The little guy was a little nervous, but soon started playing with the kids.

While looking at her grandson, Mama Xu chatted with Wang Xiujuan about homework.

"Old Wang, how is your house search going?"

Wang Xiujuan waved her hand: "Don't mention it, I'm still looking for it. I want to rent a house alone, and I don't want to live with other people."

"There are several office buildings in Fumao Plaza on the right side of my house. I heard that they are going to be converted into public rental housing. Why don't you go there and apply for a public rental housing? The rent can be much cheaper." Xu Ma suggested.

"No, our family has already applied for public rental housing, so we can't apply for a second apartment." Wang Xiujuan sighed.

"Why don't you just move your account out, so you don't have to be restricted."

Wang Xiujuan still shook her head: "Forget it, the exposure of this matter will not have a good impact on Zhang Kai. It's not worth it for such a trivial matter, so I'll look for it again!"

"That's right, there's no rush, take your time." Mama Xu echoed.

After another half an hour, almost all the people on the list were present, but compared to last year, the number of people attending the party today was almost one-third less.

Most of the dancers disappeared during the previous flu epidemic.

The remaining small part also because of the housing reform, or into the police; or moved to other communities; or simply like Wang Xiujuan, living in public rental housing.

At two o'clock sharp, the party officially began.

As soon as Wang Xiujuan came up, she threw a shock bomb, saying that she would disband the dance troupe.

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately questioned: "Old Wang, the dance troupe is doing well, why should it disband?"

"Oh, I don't want to disband the dance troupe, but our square dance really can't go on."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiujuan explained: "Now every household is short of food and can't get enough to eat. Who still wants to dance? Isn't this a waste of energy?"

There was a lot of discussion for a while, and the director was right. The dance troupe seemed to have not danced in the square since mid-June.

"Old Wang, the dance troupe will disband as soon as it is disbanded, can we keep the wechat group, we can chat if we have nothing to do." Mama Xu suggested.

"Lao Zhang's idea is good."

"Yes, let's keep the dancers anyway, we can meet up and sit together when we are free."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Xiujuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's keep the WeChat group!"

At this point, the dance troupe was officially disbanded.

After that, everyone chatted together for a while, and at three o'clock, people left one after another. Mama Xu was bored, so she simply dragged Wang Xiujuan back to the courtyard.

"Mom, you're back, and Aunt Wang is here too. Why is it so early this time?" Yang Lina stepped forward to take the second treasure.

"Ah!" Xu Ma sighed, "Your Aunt Wang disbanded the dance troupe."

Yang Lina was surprised: "Aunt Wang, the dance troupe is doing well, why did it disband?"

"You don't do square dancing anymore, why do you still keep the dance troupe?"
