Chapter 135: Chapter 131: Ji Xizhi Isn’t the Center? (Two Updates Combined)_2

By the time the stage was fully set up, it was already near dusk.

The guests, including villagers invited from various parts of Lishui County, had all changed into their outfits and arrived.

All the performers for the five acts were packed into the dressing room, making it as noisy as a marketplace.

Many villagers were sweaty-palmed, worried about being broadcast on TV today and afraid they might forget their lines.

The show’s guests were helping to run through the lines.

“Oh no, how was that move supposed to go? My mind goes blank when I get anxious!”

“Oh dear, I wrote the lines on my hand, but I sweated so much that it smudged clean off!”

“Write them on the back of your hand, write them on the back of your hand!”

The other groups of participating villagers were all nervous.

Except for Ji Xizhi’s and Zhu Xiu’an’s groups.

Zhu Xiu’an didn’t invite villagers; he followed Ji Xizhi’s suggestion and recruited a class of elementary school kids from Lishui County for a big chorus. The kids had performed at school before and didn’t really have any concept of the cameras, so standing together, they were less likely to feel nervous.

The guests Ji Xizhi invited were all villagers, primarily those she had interacted with while helping Director Wan recently.

The emotional state of Ji Xizhi’s group of supporting villagers was completely different from the other groups.

While other groups were immersed in tension and anxiety, Ji Xizhi’s group was not.

They even had time to chat, as one aunt skillfully took out some peanuts and sunflower seeds from her pocket, while another pulled out a crumpled plastic bag for the shells.

They each took a handful of seeds, cracked them open one by one, and ate them.

When the seeds reached Ji Xizhi, she didn’t hesitate, took some, and joined in on the snacking.

As she snacked, she joined the conversation, saying, “Hmm, I’ve recorded a document of disputes from various households over the past few days, which will be left with Director Wan, and you can refer to it later.”

“I’ve also written about other related issues, and in due course, Director Wan will communicate with each village head; everyone still needs to brush up on their legal knowledge.”

Villagers said, “This girl is really good, no wonder she got into Qing University!”

“Let’s give a great performance today!”

“Yes!!!”

Ji Xizhi cheerfully motivated her team, “Alright, today’s stage performance depends on all of you!”

The villagers nodded earnestly.

Fans in the livestream watched Ji Xizhi’s team looking like a breath of fresh air, being somewhat out of place backstage, almost bursting out laughing into the camera.

[Pfft hahaha~ Eating seeds and chatting! The auntie even brought her own trash bag, how considerate “thumbs up”]

[Why does this group seem so relaxed? Isn’t Ji Xizhi’s group performing last, which means they’re the grand finale? She’s not anxious at all?]

[I’m getting curious, what is Ji Xizhi’s group going to perform?!]

[Is there even a need to ask? It’s definitely about legal awareness!]

As fans in the livestream speculated and anticipated, night finally fell.

The large square of Lishui County was packed with people; the show had already extended viewing invitations to each village in Lishui County, but the specifics of attendance were left to the village and county arrangements.

Considering the cooler evening temperatures and the fact that some elderly individuals weren’t in suitable health to come out at night, they were organized to watch the livestream by their respective villages.

The remaining attendees filled the entire square, with many bringing their own chairs. For safety, the show had already designated areas and exit routes before the show started, ensuring the safety of this viewing.

At six-thirty in the evening, night had fallen, and the show officially began.

The host was an experienced local from Lishui County.

With a humorous opening, the host quickly transitioned into the first act.

Zhu Xiu’an entered with a group of little kids in matching suits and red scarves. Under the soft lights, they kicked off with Zhu Xiu’an’s harmonica, then joined by the students’ chorus. The song choice was simple—a children’s legal awareness song.

Zhu Xiu’an’s harmonica blended perfectly with the children’s voices, creating a great opening effect; the villagers below were also very supportive.

Once the song ended, there was a unified applause and cheers from the audience!

[I didn’t expect Zhu Xiu’an’s stage performance to be so good, not bad, quite a surprise~]

[The villagers below seem to really enjoy it, seems like the live effect is nice~]

[Villagers: Honestly, I’ll cheer, my kid’s on stage, how can I not support? Don’t steal my kid’s stage data!]
