Chapter 1373: Chapter 1195 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Axiang had heard from the simpleton about the play being staged in the grain-drying ground and that it was organized by Xia Dabao.

Xia Dabao notified every household except hers, leaving her feeling a bit disappointed.

Later, the simpleton came over to call her. "Sister, are you coming to watch the play?"

The simpleton had been lonely since childhood, so naturally he went wherever it was lively, especially to watch plays, though sometimes he didn’t quite understand them. Mostly, he just sat on a stool, staring intently at the stage, but he still enjoyed it.

Axiang shook her head. "No, simpleton, there are too many people over there. You can go by yourself, I’ll just stay at home."

The simpleton then hesitated. Axiang smiled, "Go on, simpleton. I’m mainly afraid of running into my mom and being dragged back home again by her. You wouldn’t want me to have to go back, would you?"

The simpleton shook his head, yet unsure whether to go or not.

"Simpleton, I really want to know what play Dabao and the others have put together. Go and check it out, and then come back and tell me what it was about, alright?" Axiang, knowing he wanted to go but didn’t want to leave her, had no choice but to say so.

Decided, the simpleton replied, "Then you be good and stay home, sister."

"Okay, you go," Axiang sent him off again.

...

Zhao Datu knew the play was organized by Xia Dabao, so naturally he went early with a bench to the grain-drying ground to wait.

Many villagers had already arrived, and Xia Dabao even distributed sunflower seeds to the people in the front row to crunch on while they waited.

A theatre troupe that considered things so thoughtfully was truly unmatched.

Zhao Datu, seeing people in the front munching on sunflower seeds, naturally wanted some too, so he went up to have a look around and realized that the seeds had already been handed out. But when Zhao Datu wanted sunflower seeds, there was naturally no way he wouldn’t get them. He wandered around for a bit until he found himself next to a kid named Er Gazi in the front row, whose parents weren’t there, and he bent down to reach out his hand to the kid.

The kid knew what Zhao Datu was after and, with his parents not around, reluctantly parted with a small handful of his not-so-abundant sunflower seeds. With the seeds in hand, Zhao Datu squeezed a bit closer to Er Gazi. That way, he managed to get a seat in the front row.

Once seated, Zhao Datu looked ahead and saw Xia Dabao talking to two particularly ugly women.

The two ugly women listened intently to Xia Dabao, though who knew where he had found such actors. If it weren’t for Xia Dabao’s presence, he would have gone up and teased them.

But after watching for a while, Zhao Datu felt something was off.

Why did these two look so familiar? They were unmistakably Wang San and Zhang Qianqian.

Zhao Datu couldn’t care less at this point and just made his way to the front. "Abao, how can you stage a play without calling me? Getting these two losers to act, aren’t you afraid they’ll botch the whole thing?"

He spoke too harshly. Wang San and Zhang Qianqian, having just seen Zhao Datu and fearing their behavior was somewhat inappropriate, now felt even more determined to act well later and reveal Zhao Datu’s misdeeds.

Seeing how Zhao Datu spoke, Xia Dabao just laughed. "Oh Datu, the reason I’ve gone through all the trouble to organize this play isn’t it for you?"

"For me?" Zhao Datu’s heart immediately blossomed with joy, "Really for me? You’re not kidding me, are you?"

"To kid you is to be a puppy. Go back down and watch carefully, don’t miss any of the exciting parts."

"Will do, I’m heading back now!" Zhao Datu was overjoyed. Xia Dabao had organized the play for him? Could it be that after he made Axiang angry, she finally saw the sincerity in his heart? So he staged this play for him to watch?
