The sunset was blushing, and the pedestrians were in a hurry. The master was shaking the bells all the way, walking through the crowds lightly. After a while, he took me to the ancient bell tower.

"Master, what is the word written on it?" I pointed to the plaque on the ancient bell tower and asked behind him about my confusion for many days.

"Are you talking about what words are on the plaque?" The master raised his head and looked at the mottled plaque under the setting sun, "'Jade Vibration and Gold Sound', written by Qianlong when he went to the south of the Yangtze River."

"I didn't recognize the word 'too' before," I sighed sincerely.

The master continued to explain, "Qianlong went to Jiangnan for seven times and took a boat from the Grand Canal. He came down here for the sixth time and rested for one night. He liked to write and write poems. He might have been idle that night and his hands were itchy, so he wrote these four words, but he seemed to have written a lot of the same words everywhere."

We entered the cultural center and came to the classroom behind. We saw the monkey face stretching its neck and looking out. When we saw my master and I rode in, we hurriedly came out.

"Brother Lu, I haven't seen you these days. I heard you have been promoted." The monkey said with a flattering look on his face.

"Just become a little secretary at the factory. What a promotion, or work hard." The master replied indifferently.

"You are just a preliminary, and you will definitely have to change in the future. Maybe you will be the secretary in two years." The monkey winked and continued to flatter.

"Director Zhu, do you think I look like a secretary?" The master was in a good mood and joked with Monkey Face, "Don't say much. When I got off work today, Director Tong called me and said he was coming to see it tonight. The workshop attached great importance to this. How have you practiced recently?"

"There is no problem with rehearsal. Our Xiao Guo has put in his strength for you. It's just that there is something wrong with the band, and Xiao You, who is shaking the sand hammer, is unwilling to do it." The monkey said with a bitter face.

"I heard that it's okay, 'It's dead butcher Hu, don't eat a mixed-haired pig', I brought Xiao Wu again and asked him to push it first. Last time he was already good. As for the musical feeling, it can't be solved overnight. Let's slowly grind it in rehearsal." When I saw the master say this, the monkey's face's eyes and nose wrinkled together again.

Shortly after we arrived, Yin Hong came with the female rehearsal worker. As soon as she entered the door, she saw me and wanted to come up to say hello, but the master stopped him: "Director Tong is coming tonight. Everyone should prepare quickly and start rehearsal."

The master said, and the female workers began to take off their coats and change into high heels. Just as everyone was changing their clothes, Modern Xiao Guo rushed in like a gust of wind. She saw the master beside the monkey face and couldn't help but look surprised. The master did not look at her charming eyes flying over and urged him to start rehearsal quickly. Xiao Guo pouted his little mouth and was a little unhappy for a moment.

Everyone consciously lined up in two rows, Yin Hong stood in the middle. Xiao Guo summarized yesterday's situation and explained the key points of the dance, emphasizing that it must be done, otherwise it would be difficult to look at the movements that were tightened. Xiao Guo did a few movements while talking, which was indeed charming and full of temptation.

The band members also arrived, and the master handed the pair of sand hammers to me again. Xiao Guo asked our band to prepare first. She started shouting rhythm in her mouth and asked everyone to follow their movements. This program has been rehearsing for many days, and everyone's movements are more skillful. Because during the first rehearsal, everyone was wearing normal clothes and the movement range was not large. They just followed Xiao Guo to imitate. This time, they changed into shorts, bat shirts, expanded their chests, turned around, and kicked their legs. When a row of snow-white thighs were raised in front of my eyes, I was stunned, and my face was red to the ears.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Before a set of movements was finished, the short and fat Director Tong pushed the door and walked in. Behind him was not only a follower, but also a shiny bald head.

"Oh, Secretary Cui, you are here too." The master was a little surprised, put down the cello leaning on his body, and quickly stood up.

"Let me see everyone." Lao Cui looked at the master who was greeting with white eyes, and held his hands affectionately. "The former spinning workshop is an advanced unit of our cotton mill's cultural and sports. I'll encourage you."

"Although Secretary Lu was transferred to the factory department, he still did not forget our old man. It depends on you to win the championship this time." Director Tong quickly continued the conversation and flattered the master.

"Secretary Lu is the pride of your Qianyi." Old Cui held the master's hand and shook it hard twice.

"I left Qianyi, but my heart was still in Qianyi." When the master said this, the follower immediately laughed flatteringly.

"Okay, we won't waste everyone's time, hurry up and rehearse." Secretary Cui looked around everyone and urged with a smirk.

"Hey-girls, let's cheer up and show the rehearsal results of these days to the leaders." Modern little Guo shouted in a sharp voice.

"The band is ready." The monkey face also waved a thin shirt and directed us to pick up the guys in our hands.

The strong music sounded loudly, and under the leadership of Xiao Guo, more than a dozen beautiful little daughter-in-laws began to jump.

"Go out of vitality, out of charm, out of passion!" Xiao Guo called out while leading the dance.

Yin Hong's eyes were empty and her face was gloomy. Although she followed the rhythm, she still jumped wrongly twice, especially her 170cm tall and beautiful long legs. Her steps were too big when changing formation, destroying the entire formation and making her companions fucked. Fortunately, such a problem did not affect the overall situation. A group of beauties held their chests, collapsed their waists, twisted their faces, and raised their butts. When more than a dozen pairs of thighs were raised at the same time, Fatty Tong and the follower's eyes straightened, and Old Cui's white eyes flashed with greed.

"No, not bad, with the style of the new era." Lao Cui stood up and praised repeatedly.

"Thank you for your concern and create new glory!" Director Tong took the lead and slapped, and warm applause suddenly erupted in the classroom.

That night, after Lao Cui and Director Tong and others left, everyone was very excited because Lao Cui brought gifts to Monkey Face, Xiao Guo and the band members, each with printed fabric; Director Tong said that all the staff in the workshop who participated in the rehearsal had the first prize for the month. Everyone felt depressed that Yin Hong seemed to be out of shape. She, who had the best dance foundation, always had a mess, which made everyone stop several times, which made Xiao Guo take off his face and get angry in front of Monkey Face.

I was in a bad mood at first, but when I saw Cui Laoba, I was even more angry, and I was always unable to concentrate. In addition, I was not skilled and could not make the rhythm. At the end of the rehearsal, Monkey Face said in front of the master that I could not do it, and he looked for someone else. Although the master was a little embarrassed, he had nothing to say. He could only leave the gate of the cultural center and patted my shoulder comfortably.

It was almost midnight, and the meteors passed by the night sky with coolness, and the dim street lights were filled with tired laziness. The master pushed the car and walked side by side with Yin Hong, talking and laughing happily along the way. Yin Hong laughed slightly and no longer had the melancholy expression just now.

"When we finish this performance, we will go to Wolong Lake for a picnic." The master suggested with a smile.

"Okay, it's better to be the three of us." Yin Hong agreed happily.

"Wu Ping, I didn't throw the slingshot I gave you?" The master turned his head and asked at me in the dark shadow.

"No." I was following the two of them, and I felt indescribable boredom.

"You guy is really good at playing slingshots. We will compete again when the time comes." The master continued.

"This is unfair." My words blurted out, which made both the master and Yin Hong stunned for a moment.

"Why?" The master looked at me with a little confusion.

"Because... you use a gun, I use a slingshot." I murmured in a low voice.

When we returned to the living area, the master sent us through the miscellaneous forests and came to the gate of the courtyard. He said reluctantly: "The factory department has divided me a dormitory and will move there in two days."

"That's great. If you move, you have to invite us to dinner." The bright red eyes blinked charmingly.

"Of course, it's scheduled for this Saturday." The master agreed readily.

The night wind was strong, and it spread across the black ginkgo treetops, and a whimper made a sound. Yin Hong and I stood in the yard. She yawned, covered the corners of her mouth and said to me: "Brother Wu Ping, it's getting late today, hurry up and take a shower and go to bed."

The night wind became strong and it was wild. I came out of the distribution room and came to the front yard with a basin. Just when I turned on the faucet by the water table, a gust of cold wind sucked my face hard. I couldn't help but look up. Amid the sound of running water, I saw a woman in red sitting on the branches of the ginkgo tree above my head.

In an instant, my scalp became numb and my hair was overwhelmed, and I almost collapsed on the ground: "You are..."

The woman in red had bloody eyes and wanted to speak with sad eyes, but she opened her blood-lost lips and struggled desperately, but she couldn't make a sound. I felt a sudden sense of emotion and remembered that my grandmother once said that ghosts could not speak human words. I suddenly understood what was happening in front of me. This was the female worker Xiao Li said, the wife of a rural primary school teacher. She still had no worries and was still floating in this lonely courtyard.

"Although we don't know you, I know your grievances. I am a primary school apprentice who came to take over. I don't have the ability to complain about you and ask for your forgiveness. You can live here safely. Let's get along well. I hope you will have the day when the clouds and mists will clear your grievances and reincarnate..." I suddenly lost my fear and silently muttered to the red-clothed soul.

The female ghost in red probably understood my prayer, and a slight smile appeared on her pale face. Her smile was very beautiful. She must have been a beautiful wife and a charitable mother before her death. It was a pity for her husband and children...

That night, the wind outside the window always slapped my window frame, and the female ghost in red made a sound of sand and lingering in my ears. In the early morning, I was awakened by urine. When I opened the door and woke up, under the sparse starry sky, I saw a wisp of mist floating on the small building in front, always surrounding the bright red room.
