Grandma Shen went to the countryside of Suzhou to visit relatives and has not yet returned to the city. Shen Xue still lives alone.

"Yan Fengying" is being played on TV. Ms. Ma Lan, a famous Huangmei Opera performing artist, gave a deeply touching performance, bringing the great master Yan Fengying to life.

Shen Xue steamed the fish head, sat down to chat with Wang Lin, and said: "I watched this show once when it first aired in the first half of the year. The ending of the show was so tragic. Yan Fengying was tortured to death, and she was disemboweled after her death. Belly, alas!”

Wang Lin didn't want to comment too much on this, because it didn't make any sense anymore, so he asked: "Since you can sing Yue Opera, and Teacher Zhao is willing to recruit you to join the Yue Opera Theater, why are you hesitant?"

Shen Xue smiled and said: "I'm almost 20 years old. It's a bit old for me to go to the Yue Opera Theater at this age. Those with a major in college usually start learning opera at a few years old and perform on stage around the age of ten."

Wang Lindao: "When it comes to career longevity, I think opera is longer than dance, right? There are many old people who can still sing opera at the age of seven or eighty, and the older they get, the more energetic they become."

Shen Xue pursed her lips and smiled and said: "That's true. Teacher Zhao Yi will retire soon, but her singing, reading, and acting are still very good. Even after retirement, she can still be a teacher and teach students. Dancing is not an option. , In our group, basically all the members over thirty years old have been converted into support staff."

Wang Lin muttered: "If you want to ask my opinion, I don't think you are great at all now because you have the skills. Whether it is dancing or singing, the next ten or twenty years will be your golden period. It just depends on which industry you like to develop in."

Shen Xuedao: "Let me think about this again! By the way, I promised you last time that I would perform a solo dance for you, but I never found the opportunity."

"Do you still remember? I thought you forgot." Wang Lin said, "I look forward to this day every day."

Shen Xuedao: "Whenever you are free, come to the song and dance troupe to find me, and I will dance for you in the practice room."

Wang Lin said: "Actually, you don't have to go to your group, you can just dance at your house."

"Here? The space is too narrow and you can't jump." Shen Xue stood up and said, "I'm going to take a look at the fish head."

After the fish head was steamed, she fried some green vegetables, and the two of them started eating.

"You live alone, aren't you lonely?" Wang Lin asked her.

"There are dozens of people in the yard! Every morning they start making noises before dawn. It's so lively. How can I have time to be alone?"

"Loneliness, shouldn't it be a state of mind?"

"It's okay. I've been used to being alone since I was a child."

Wang Lindao: "The loneliness I thought was not in the mountains but on the streets, not alone but among many people."

Shen Xue suddenly felt a little crazy. Maybe it wasn't until this moment that she truly understood the meaning of loneliness?

Wang Lin once tasted the feeling of loneliness.

After his parents passed away, Wang Lin lived alone at home. That kind of loneliness can devour a person's soul!

It was during this period that he and Liu Kun were still fighting fiercely with Geng Hao and others. As long as he didn't go home, he would do anything outside.

It was not until he married Li Wenxiu and had one more person in the family that he was freed from loneliness.

Although there was no harmony between him and Li Wenxiu, and the time they spent together was mostly noisy, it was this kind of noise that made him know that he was not alone.

Li Wenxiu has become Wang Lin's spiritual partner invisibly.

Loneliness can certainly give birth to freedom, but it can also create neurosis.

Wang Lin, who has experienced loneliness, heard Shen Xue say that she was used to being alone, and couldn't help but feel pity for her.

If there was someone by her side who could argue with her and liven things up with her, she would definitely understand how terrible the loneliness was.

"Shen Xue! Shen Xue!" someone shouted downstairs.

"Hey!" Shen Xue agreed, walked to the door, and said downstairs, "Bailing, I'm at home! Why are you here?"

"Oh, my little beauty, have you really forgotten? Didn't you agree to go see the venue?"

"Brother, I really forgot about this."

Wang Lin heard thumping sounds going up the stairs.

A young and beautiful young woman came into the house.

Whether it's a Yue Opera theater or a song and dance troupe, they are all places where beauties gather, and any one of them can be regarded as a peerless beauty.

The person who came here was Zhao Bailing, Shen Xue's colleague. On Women's Day, she and Shen Xue went to the Shenfang Factory to perform together.

When Zhao Bailing saw Wang Lin, he laughed and said, "I know why you forgot our agreement. It turns out that you value sex over friends!"

Shen Xue made a big face and hit her lightly with a pink fist: "I called you a talker! This is Comrade Wang Lin, you have seen him too."

"Hey, it looks familiar!"

"Have you forgotten? He is a mechanic at Shenfang Factory. Didn't we meet him when we performed at Shenfang Factory?"

"That's what I'm telling you! In order to save you, he broke the watch he received as a new reward, didn't he?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Oh, you guys have always been in contact? Isn't it good?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Comrade Wang Lin and I have a very pure revolutionary friendship!"

Wang Lin listened and smiled slightly: "Comrade Shen Xue and I are just ordinary friends. You go ahead and get busy. I'll leave first."

Zhao Bailing said: "It's okay, we just want to hold a dance training class outside. I made an appointment with Shen Xue to go see the venue together!"

"Opening a dance training class? This is a good idea." Wang Lin said, "I support you."

"Hey, what's the point of supporting us? It's just words, but no real actions!" Zhao Bailing lives up to his name, his mouth is like a lark, chattering non-stop.

Shen Xue smiled and said: "Wang Lin, don't mind. She is famous for being a sharp-tongued person, but she is actually a very nice person. She told me that your watch broke last time! You know how to do business.

If it doesn’t take up your time, can you accompany us to see the venue? You can also help us negotiate the price.”

Wang Linda said: "Okay. Why are you thinking about opening a training class?"

Zhao Bailing said: "Now that prices are rising so fast, if we don't think of ways to make some money for ourselves, we will starve to death sooner or later! The clothes on Huating Road cost dozens of yuan a piece. I don't dare to go shopping anymore!"

"

Shen Xuedao: "Many people in our group have begun to go to sea. Some people have gone to the south to perform, singing and dancing, and can earn four or five hundred yuan in a few days!"

Zhao Bailing said: "That's right! Su Hui and the others can earn two thousand yuan a month by running to Guangzhou! We are the only ones who are young and timid and don't dare to venture into the south."

Shen Xuedao: "Do you really think that money is easy to make? I heard Su Hui say that they all perform in nightclubs and drink with customers! Can you let go of your figure and face? Go drink with those playboys.

Amused?"

Zhao Bailing said: "Hey, I know. Su Hui and the others are all married and have children, and their families are burdened with heavy responsibilities, so it doesn't matter. We are still young girls. If we go out to do business and perform, how will we find a partner in the future?

?Shen Xue, didn’t a director ask you to act last time? Why didn’t you go? What a great opportunity? What if you become famous? What if you become a big star like Gong Xue? "

Shen Xue shook her head gently: "Acting? That road is not easy either."

Zhao Bailing said: "Yes, you care about the characters in other people's movies, but others care about your young and beautiful body! You and I are both the kind of traditional girls who can't let go, so we can't let go in society.

Here you go!”

Wang Lin secretly claimed to be strange, thinking that this Zhao Bailing was young but had quite mature thoughts.

The three of them laughed and went downstairs, each riding a bicycle to see the venue.

This is a large facade on the second floor, with an area of ​​more than 300 square meters, and there are two offices. Judging from the posters and promotional papers on the wall, this should have been the office space of a company before. After the company moved,

, this place becomes vacant.

The person in charge of renting is a middle-aged man who calls himself Manager Sun. He is short and fat, with squinted eyes. He always likes to look at people sideways, which gives people a very disrespectful feeling.

"So big?" Shen Xuehao asked, "Is it too big? How big is the practice room in our group?"

"A practice room shouldn't be about eighty square meters? We can have three or four practice rooms here, which I think is just right!" Zhao Bailing said, "It's not necessarily that we only have one class? Our time is limited, and we can't teach at different times.

.Besides, the children who come to learn dance don’t have much spare time. We must open more classes.”

Shen Xue whispered: "Bailing, we have just started, how can we have so much money to invest? First find a small venue and open a class to try. If the business is good, we will rent a larger venue."

Manager Sun raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said impatiently: "Do you want to rent it? Let me tell you, in our area, if you don't rent it today, it will be rented out immediately tomorrow!"

Zhao Bailing said: "Manager Sun, we rent, how do we calculate the rent?"

Manager Sun said: "One yuan per square meter, there are 350 square meters here, which is 350 yuan a month, and the rent is paid once a year, which is 4,200 yuan!"

Zhao Bailing and Shen Xue were both surprised. They looked at each other and their faces were inevitably pale.

Shen Xue said: "You have to pay 4,200 yuan in rent at one time? Isn't this too expensive? Manager Sun, can the rent be paid monthly? We rent it and we have to decorate it, which will cost a lot of money!"

Manager Sun sneered with a disdainful look on his face: "Seeing that you are well-dressed, I thought you were powerful people, so I just talked to you! If I had known you had no money, I wouldn't have wasted time entertaining you! What can I do if I don't have money?"
