Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Show Begins

Legal education workshop.

Yesterday, when Tian Xiang saw those kids playing rough, she suddenly had the idea to invite the theater troupe.

Using the style of opera to showcase crime scenes, and then presenting it as a courtroom drama to educate everyone legally, so people can watch, listen, feel the tension and excitement, and achieve a great effect.

Model opera!

It’s not even New Year yet, and there’s actually a model opera to watch.

Everyone laughed, "Mr. Tian, really?"

Tian Xiang: "Why would I lie to you? Hurry over, I’m going to pick them up now."

Tian Xiang rode her bike to the residence compound’s entrance.

Just then, Zhou Jian was riding a tricycle, bringing a few elderly men and women along with a bunch of belongings.

Zhou Jian waved at Tian Xiang from afar, "Xiangxiang."

"Master, Third Brother, Second Sister..."

Tian Xiang greeted them all the way, leading the way on her bike, guiding everyone to the Fifth Residential Compound.

Although this was a charity performance with only seven or eight troupe members participating, Zhou Jian still brought their banner.

A red-edge yellow-base triangle flag with the big words, "Sanli Lane First Troupe," written on it.

Only the words "Sanli Lane" were small; "First" was the biggest.

Tian Xiang called out as she walked, opera’s here, hurry out to see!

Opera?

What event is this, and there’s opera?

Everyone ran out to see the excitement, looked at the flag.

Hey, there’s really a troupe here, the First Troupe!

Wow, who’s so impressive to have invited the First Troupe here.

If this were in those grand theaters, you’d probably need tickets to watch.

Hurry, bring a chair to grab a seat.

When Tian Xiang brought the people back to the basketball court of the Fifth Residential Compound, there were already dozens of people following behind.

Residents from other compounds came to grab seats, and those from the Fifth Residential Compound panicked, quickly went inside to fetch chairs, jostling with each other.

By the time the troupe members unloaded their props, the place was already packed with two to three hundred people.

Seeing so many people come for the performance, especially the old employees and intellectuals from Red Fifth Street, Zhou Jian was both excited and nervous.

Yesterday morning, Tian Xiang went to the troupe to invite Zhou Jian and a few older brothers and sisters to cooperate with her for promotional lectures. At first, Zhou Jian was reluctant.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help his beloved pupil, but he was afraid of performing poorly and embarrassing her.

They are the First Troupe of Sanli Lane, representing Sanli Lane, but since most members are old timers, they couldn’t do flips or splits and had few opportunities for large performances, mostly entertaining themselves or casually performing in nearby streets.

This was their first time at a place like Red Fifth Street.

If they performed badly and were met with fruit peelings, what would they do?

What’s the worry about performing badly, it’s not a competition.

Tian Xiang persuaded him by writing two story scripts tailored for the audience, requiring no flips, only to act as victims or security personnel, leaving moves like flips and kicks to herself.

At this point, Zhou Jian had no choice but to brace himself.

As the clappers sounded, the show began.

Tian Xiang donned simple costumes and stepped forward, having Meng Cheng’an, the temporary lighting technician, shine the light on her.

"Legal education to every household, a harmonious society for you, me, and him. Let’s talk about the Wang family from the south..."

Tian Xiang recited yesterday’s content, but with the addition of a situational performance, it was entirely different from just speaking, plus Tian Xiang had great skills, her punches and kicks were quite standard, with the help of chairs and tables, she could even flip, making the performance quite good.

People in the compound loved watching this kind of excitement.

Soon, four to five hundred people surrounded the inside and outside, those who couldn’t see moved chairs over to stand.

When Li Huai came to inspect, he witnessed the cheers and applause of the crowd.

This lively, is it really legal education?

Li Huai stood listening for a while, and yes, it really was.

Each time Tian Xiang committed a crime, she would provide an explanation, and when putting on handcuffs, she would express regret through narration.

This complete set covered three to four legal provisions.

Li Huai had first gone to the Third Residential Committee before coming here.

Chen Yong had formed a band, lecturing a while then singing a song. Although his singing was average, it was enjoyed by the young fellows, attracting over a hundred people to watch the excitement tonight.

As for the First Residential Committee, no need to mention, Tao Family had the resources, and Tao Huilan continued to distribute her knitting yarn, the number of attendees would not be lower than last night.

Li Huai was somewhat worried about Tian Xiang, afraid she hadn’t found a suitable method.

Now it seemed his worries were unnecessary.

Among the three young people, the one with the most active and clever mind was this girl Tian Xiang.

Li Huai was amazed, nodding continuously.

It’s quite good, but those old men and women, did she pay to bring them here?

She really invested heavily, hoping the overtime pay was enough for them.

While thinking, Yang Qunying came over, holding sunflower seeds and smiling, "Director Li, isn’t Tian Xiang’s program quite good?"

Li Huai: "It’s done well, very creative. Where did those elderly folks come from?"

Yang Qunying: "The white-bearded one is Tian Xiang’s master, the others are older brothers and sisters."

A bunch of old folks and a vibrant young junior sister, Li Huai was stumped.

Yang Qunying laughed, "It’s a personal hobby. You see Tian Xiang’s moves, quite standard, you know she practices regularly."

Alright then, didn’t expect she had such a hobby.

Yang Qunying didn’t expect Tian Xiang to invite several troupe members over, letting her worry for nothing.

Listening to the surrounding praises and discussions, Yang Qunying thought, no need to wait until the trial ends, she must immediately introduce her to her nephew from her family.

If they wait until her position is confirmed, suitors might queue up, and then it might not be them lined up.

On the table by the stage, Meng Cheng’an held the lamp in his hand, his gaze followed Tian Xiang.

He too didn’t expect she would invite the troupe over, nor did he think she was a member of it.

So she had such a vibrant hobby, her confident and composed demeanor was captivating.

But the thought of her being watched by hundreds of eyes made Meng Cheng’an uncomfortable.

He so wished to hide her away, just for him to see.

Tian Xiang prepared three programs this time, lasting just over an hour, two or three minutes over.

When she announced the end, everyone was still a bit unsatisfied.

"Mr. Tian, is there more tomorrow?"

Tian Xiang: "Yes, it’s a ten-day event, this is only the second day."

"Will you perform these again tomorrow?"

"No way, if you aren’t tired of it every day, I’d be."

"Alright, I’ll come again tomorrow."

Tian Xiang laughed heartily, "Grandpa, I’ll be waiting for you."

Everyone helped load things onto the tricycle.

Meng Cheng’an let down his rolled-up sleeves, and said to Tian Xiang, "I’ll give you a ride."

Tian Xiang: "No need, I’ll go back with Master and the others."

Since they came to help, she certainly had to go back with them to show her gratitude.

Meng Cheng’an paused, shifted his gaze, "Then, I’m leaving."
