Wen's mother, who was very strong, was full of anticipation for the yangge dance competition. Every morning after breakfast, she would stroll to the brigade office to practice with Big Mouth and others.
Also practicing were the yangge dance team and those performing with giant-headed dolls.
The brigade office was bustling with excitement every day, drums and gongs resounding through the air.
The neighboring brigades were equally lively.
That day, Qin Jiu finished his homework and could hardly sit still, as if there were pins on his seat. Using the excuse of needing the bathroom or because it was too hot indoors and needing some fresh air, he would run out to look in the direction of the brigade office.
Seeing him stand up once again, looking as though he was about to head out, Yi Chichi lifted her head from the embroidery rack and glanced over.
"Going to pee again?!"
Qin Jiu, foot poised to step outside, froze, and turned around like a robot.
