Yang Ruoqing turned around and found that Liu Doukou's seat was empty and the person had disappeared.

Either he went to the toilet, or he went back to Lao Mu's house to cultivate feelings with Mu Zichuan, Yang Ruoqing thought to herself.

Zichuan used to be cold and indifferent towards Liu Doukou, and it was Liu Doukou who always chased after Zichuan to please him and show his affection.

It can be said to be a very classic story of a woman chasing a man. Now Zichuan actually took the initiative to pick up Liu Doukou and the others to watch the show. For Liu Doukou, he must be overjoyed and flattered, right?

It’s okay to cultivate feelings. I hope Liu Doukou can use his sincerity to cover Re Zichuan and let him feel at home as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing withdrew her gaze and continued watching the show.

We sang from the time the sun turned to the west until it got dark, and lanterns were lit near the stage.

Even if it gets dark, the play on the stage will not stop, and the people watching the play below will not leave.

The side sells buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks and twists, and you can have a full meal for just two or three pennies.

Some people brought meals to relatives and friends who were watching the theater, and it was very lively under the stage.

Because she was very full at Sun's house at noon, Mrs. Zuo suggested that she would just eat a steamed bun if she didn't want to eat at night, and she couldn't delay watching the theater.

So Yang Ruoqing volunteered to buy steamed buns.

I ran into Mu Zichuan at the place where he was buying steamed buns. He was also buying. The oil paper bag in his arms was full of steamed buns and steamed buns. Moreover, he was still standing in front of the frying pan waiting for the fried dough sticks.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming over, the two said hello.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Why did you take so much by yourself? Didn't your cousin come over to help you take it?"

Liu Doukou's seat had always been empty, but Mu Zichuan was the only one seen here, so Yang Ruoqing asked one more question casually.

In fact, I wanted to make fun of the two of them.

Mu Zichuan was stunned for a moment and said, "My cousin is watching a show over there and doesn't know that I'm here to buy food."

We had a heart-to-heart talk with Zuo Junmo last night, and Zuo Junmo's words gave Mu Zichuan a feeling of enlightenment.

After Zuo Junmo left, Mu Zichuan went to the west room where his deceased mother had lived before her death, stroked her deceased mother's spiritual tablet, learned from the pain, and figured it out completely.

You don’t have to get it if you like it.

If you don’t get it, let it go.

As a son, you must be filial. He failed and disobeyed his mother when she was alive.

His mother passed away, and his marriage was still her concern. She never got to see him get married, have children, or enjoy the joy of having his grandchildren around her for a day until she died.

He couldn't make up for it, but now he couldn't live in such a mess. Since he promised his mother, he must fulfill his promise.

Marrying his cousin Liu Doukou and treating her well were his last filial piety to his mother.

So he personally went to his uncle's house early this morning with gifts and picked up his aunt and cousin to watch the show.

The purpose of buying these food now is to give them a surprise later. From today on, he will be nicer to his cousin.

Because he knows how hard it is to like someone and wait for that person to turn around...

"Qing'er, are you here to buy buns and steamed buns too?" Mu Zichuan asked again, looking at Yang Ruoqing with a calm look in his eyes, a little distant, as if he was greeting an ordinary villager.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "I'll buy it for Mrs. Zuo."

Muzichuan nodded, "Say hello to the old lady for me."

"Yes, I will." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Then I'll go over there first, see you later!" Mu Zichuan said, turning around and walking towards the crowd over there, his steps brisk, his body tall and straight, and his back didn't seem so lonely, but showed a sense of happiness.

Yang Ruoqing was a little puzzled. She felt that when Mu Zichuan talked to her today, he was so polite and seemed so far away!

Well, it’s understandable when you think about it. After all, she has a fiancée, and she is also a married woman with a husband and children. It’s good to have a sense of distance!

After buying the food she wanted, Yang Ruoqing turned back to Mrs. Zuo.

She looked towards the Liu family again, but saw that Liu Doukou's seat was still empty, and Liu's mother had also stood up. She didn't know what she said to Mu Zichuan, and Liu's mother stopped watching the show and turned around.

Walk toward the outside of the crowd.

Mu Zichuan sat down at Liu's mother's seat, invited his aunt and others to eat, and then accompanied them with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing was a little suspicious.

Counting the time Liu Doukou left, almost an hour has passed.

According to the previous conversation between himself and Mu Zichuan, it was obvious that Liu Doukou did not go to Mu Zichuan during the hour he left.

She neither went to Muzichuan nor came back, so where did she go?

Going to the toilet?

It's impossible to squat for an hour with constipation, unless you fall into a cesspool.

But when she left, she took a maid and a servant with her. If she fell into the cesspit, she could be picked up, washed and brought back.

Now, Mother Liu apparently learned from Mu Zichuan that Liu Doukou had not returned to Lao Mu's house to look for Mu Zichuan, so Mother Liu was a little nervous, and she probably took someone to find Liu Doukou.

Where will Liu Doukou go?

"Strange, why was the fifth son-in-law replaced in the second half?" Mrs. Zuo muttered suddenly after eating a few mouthfuls of steamed buns.

Yang Ruoqing came to her senses and quickly leaned over to ask her what was wrong.

Mrs. Zuo then raised her finger and pointed at the young man in green clothes on the stage in front of her, saying: "That is the fifth son-in-law. His family used to be poor. He was just a poor scholar and was looked down upon by his parents-in-law."

"Now I am singing that he studied hard in his humble life, passed the Jinshi examination, and returned home in fine clothes."

"But I looked carefully and saw that the young man in Tsing Yi who sang the role of Fifth Son-in-law is not the same person as the one in the first half!"

Yang Ruoqing was also a little surprised when she heard what the old lady said.

"No way? With such thick makeup, can you tell that there is a change of person?" Yang Ruoqing asked, leaning down and squinting to look at the young man in Tsing Yi.

Mrs. Zuo said very confidently: "There has indeed been a substitution. In the first half, he had a mole between his eyebrows, about the size of a watermelon seed shell. I looked carefully."

"There is nothing between the eyebrows at the moment, and the appearance of the character in the first half is more elegant and handsome. Although the singing voice is somewhat similar, but if you listen carefully, it is more ups and downs. The one in the second half is obviously not as good as..."

Mrs. Zuo shook her head.

Yang Ruoqing stood up straight, "Well, since Madam, you said there was a replacement, then it must be a replacement."

Ashamedly, she had been distracted while listening to the play, so she didn't pay attention at all.

"I'll go ask the class leader and see what's going on." Yang Ruoqing said.

Because this substitution was made without any prior notice, the old lady was a little disappointed.

Yang Ruoqing can understand this, just like in the 1986 version of Journey to the West, the Tang monks played by Xu Shaohua and Chi Zhongrui are both handsome guys.

But in some episodes, the actor who played Tang Monk was as ugly as a purple eggplant, which the audience couldn't accept.

Directors and screenwriters do not need to give an explanation to the audience, but they must give an explanation to investors.
