Chapter 166 -166 Troupe

“It’s true, the aunties in the village have all been gossiping behind our backs, saying sister is growing more stunning by the day and has become the belle of Mo Family Village. Now that Big Bull Brother has arrived, Chuner really doesn’t have a chance,”

“Who said that? In Mother’s eyes, you and Xuexue are both equally beautiful, forever my precious darlings,” Madam Xie said with a smile.

Xuexue’s birth mother, back in her days in the Capital, was a beauty that could topple empires, ranking at the very top. Now, as Xuexue gradually grew up, it seemed she increasingly resembled her birth mother in looks.

“Hmm! Alright then.”

After all, Chuner was only five years old, and she wouldn’t really dwell on these issues. She then cheerfully added, “Mother, I want to go play with Xiao Gougou for a while before I come back.”

“Huh?”

Madam Xie peeked outside and said, “Chuner, it’s only just dawn, Xiao Gougou might not be up yet.”

“That’s not true, we agreed yesterday that we’d get up at dawn to see whose new clothes are prettier. Xiao Gougou’s mother also made him a new outfit.”

“This…”

“Oh, Mother, please let me go,” Chuner implored, tugging at Madam Xie’s arm and shaking it vigorously.

Seeing no chance to do her work, Madam Xie could only concede, “Alright, you go take a look, and if Xiao Gougou isn’t awake, come straight back, understood?”

“Eh! Okay!”

Chuner agreed joyfully and bounced out the door.

Since today was the first day of the New Year, Madam Xie had gotten up early to knead dough and make dumplings especially for the occasion.

“I heard that today, the Wealthy Master in the next village hired a whole opera troupe to perform at his house,” Madam Xie said leisurely as she picked up a dumpling and took a bite.

That morning, as Madam Xie went to the riverside to fetch water, she overheard a few women chatting about it. They had even planned to go watch it right after breakfast. Anyway, the custom here on the first day of the New Year was to just cook meals and not do other work. Besides, it didn’t cost any silver to go there, so checking it out to broaden one’s horizons could be nice.

“Is that so? Let’s join the fun,” Xuexue said excitedly upon hearing about the opera, putting down her chopsticks, her eyes sparkling.

Big Bull chuckled, “Sure!”

Madam Xie, who had first brought it up, however, seemed listless. She shook her head, “There will be too many people, I’m afraid of the crowd. You two go on your own.”

Xuexue: “What about Chuner?”

“She went to play with Xiao Gougou early in the morning and had just come back. After grabbing a bowl of dumplings, she ran out again.”

“Should we call her back to go with us?”

“You go with Big Bull, leave her be. She’s too small. Even if she went, she wouldn’t be able to see over the crowd and would just get anxious.”

Today being the first day of the New Year, everyone had time to spare, and with the play being free on top of that, there were bound to be many people going to watch. Describing the scene as packed with people was an understatement.

“Alright,” Madam Xie said so, and Xuexue thought it made sense, thus she didn’t say anything more.

After the dumplings, Xuexue and Big Bull set off on foot to the neighbouring village. Along the way, they saw many people from Mo Family Village also heading in that direction. Upon asking, it turned out they all wanted to go watch the play in the next village too.

When they arrived, the entrance to the Wealthy Master’s house was already crowded, with people even perched atop of the surrounding walls. There was no place left to watch the play from, they could only stand on the outskirts and gaze at the back of other people’s heads.

“Big Bull, what do we do? Should we go back?”

“Wife, do you want to watch the play?”

What a silly question! If she wasn’t interested, why would she bother to walk such a long distance and come all this way? Was it really just to look at the back of people’s heads?
