Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Agree that you will be my godfather?"

"How about it, God of Wine? When my son is born, can you adopt him as your godson?"

"Okay, according to the rules of our Xia country, we have to give a name to our godson. I'll think about what name to give him later."

Before the child was born, Bakayev wanted the child to recognize him as his godfather.

Isn't it just adopting a godson? Given his relationship with Bakayev, there is certainly no problem in adopting Bakayev's son as his godson.

Considering the strength of the Bakayev family in the Great Mao Country, there would be no loss for him to adopt this godson, and it would also be beneficial to Pangu Group's discovery in the Great Mao Country.

He accepted this godson.

According to the rules of adopting godsons in the Xia Kingdom, the godson must be given a name with the same surname as his own.

What's a good name for Yang?
Look back and think about it carefully.

"Bacchus, please help put the dishes on the table and prepare to eat."

"Uncle Ba hasn't come back yet, aren't we going to wait for him?"

"He's not coming back for dinner today. He's eating at my uncle's house with my father-in-law and Illya's uncle."

Dad told my uncle, father-in-law and Illya's uncle that he had something to discuss, so they went to my uncle's house for a drink.

We have to entertain Yang Yukun tonight, otherwise he would also go to his uncle's house.

"Mom, Illya, let's have dinner."

"Illya, slow down."

"It's okay mom, there are still several months until the due date, no need to be so cautious."

"Xiaokun, please sit down."

"Okay, Auntie, please sit here."

"Cheers, God of Bacchus."

"Walk."

"Try my cooking skills."

"Not bad, old Ba."

"I wanted to cook two Xia dishes to treat you, but unfortunately the Xia dishes I cook are not tasty. Let me practice a little more. Next time you come to my house, I will definitely let you eat authentic Xia dishes."

Bakayev likes Xia cuisine very much, so he bought a cookbook from Xia.

Unfortunately, he has limited talent in cooking Xiaguo cuisine, and the Xiaguo cuisine he makes tastes a bit worse than what he had eaten in Xiaguo.

"When you are free to go to Xia Country again, I will make you roast duck."

"I don't think I'll have time to go to Xia Country in the short term."

"It's okay. Next time I come to Wuhai Port, I'll bring you some roast ducks that I made."

"Okay."

After eating and drinking, Yang Yukun drank tea and chatted with Bakayev.

Bakayev complained to him about some trivial matters at work, and Yang Yukun agreed from time to time and expressed his own opinions on this and that.

After dark, Yang Yukun said goodbye to the Bakayev family and returned to the hotel.

The next morning, Yang Yukun went to the Kremlin to visit his old friend Boris, gave Boris two jars of wine, and had lunch in the Kremlin before leaving.

In the afternoon, Yang Yukun went to Natalia's house and delivered the things that Natalia asked him to bring back to Wuhai Port to Natalia's parents.

Valery was not at home, not even in the Port of Five Seas. His unit was stationed in Leningrad, far away from the Port of Five Seas.

Previously, Valery asked Natalia to tell him that she would take him to hunt brown bears next time they came to the Port of Five Seas. But now Valery had no time to rush back from Leningrad.

In the evening, Pollock and Natasha hosted a dinner party, and Yang Yukun had dinner with Valery's parents, daughter-in-law and son at Natasha's house.

"Xiao Kun, you came at the right time. My play based on the Xia Guo play Teahouse will premiere at the Wu Hai Zhi Gang Small Theater tomorrow. Here are the tickets. You must go and see it."

"Tomorrow night at seven o'clock, right? I will definitely go."

"The ballet I adapted from Xiaguo's drama is now in intensive rehearsal and is expected to premiere at the Five Seas Harbor Grand Theater next month. If you have time, you must go and support me."

Influenced by his daughter-in-law Natasha, Pollock also developed a keen interest in Xia culture.

In addition to being a professor at the National University of Five Seas, he is also a poet who has published several collections of his own poems. He is also a playwright of some note and has written some pretty good plays.

The last time I went to Xia Country, I watched a lot of Xia Country's dramas, and I came up with the idea of ​​adapting Xia Country's dramas into localized versions for Mao Country.

The play he adapted from Xia Guo's drama "Teahouse" will premiere tomorrow at the Wu Hai Zhi Gang Small Theater. In order to adapt the play well without losing the connotation and charm of the original play, he really worked hard and thinks that the adaptation is pretty good.

He also adapted a ballet based on the traditional opera of the Xia Kingdom.

The ballet is currently in rehearsal and will premiere at the Five Seas Harbor Theatre next month.

"If I have time, I will definitely come to watch the premiere of your ballet adapted from the traditional opera of the Xia Kingdom."

Yang Yukun was also very curious about the plays and ballets that Pollock adapted from Xiaguo's dramas and traditional operas. As a Mao Zedong, could Pollock adapt Xiaguo's dramas and traditional operas well?

Pollock said, “I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

"I'm looking forward to it very much." Yang Yukun looked out the window and said goodbye to Pollock and his party: "Uncle Valery, Aunt Maria, Sister-in-law, Pollock, Natasha, I won't bother you anymore. See you at the Five Seas Harbor Theater tomorrow night."

"it is good."

"See you tomorrow."

"Walk slowly, Xiaokun."

"Goodbye Uncle Xiaokun."

"Xiao Wa, Xiao Bo, goodbye."

After returning to the hotel, he took a shower, turned off the lights and went to sleep. The next morning, he had a quick bite to eat in the hotel. Yang Yukun went to see Ajelina again and had lunch at Ajelina's house before leaving.

…………

"Director Yang, this is our revised plan, please take a look."

The previous plan for investing in a chain of gold shops was rejected by Yang Yukun, so Anasha called a meeting of the company and made a new plan based on Yang Yukun's requirements.

"Not bad." Yang Yukun read the plan carefully. This time the plan was well done: "The chain gold shop will focus on the Xia country market, and the jewelry designers should also be from Xia country. The jewelry design should integrate and reflect the traditional culture of Xia country."

"Director Yang, I understand." "Execute it."

Yang Yukun signed his name on the document, and the chain gold shop plan could be implemented.

"Director Yang, the head office will arrange for someone to go to Xia Country immediately."

"Just arrange it."

"clear."

"Is there something wrong tonight?"

"It's okay, what's wrong, Director Yang?"

"I'd like to invite you to see a play." Yang Yukun handed two play tickets to Anasha.

Yesterday he asked Pollock for a few more tickets for the play, gave two to Ajelina, kept one for himself, and the remaining two were just right for Anasha and his wife.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang. I will be there on time."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Yang Yukun left the Pangu Group headquarters, went shopping in the mall, bought some things and put them in his portable planting space.

When going out, of course you have to bring back some gifts for your wife, children, relatives and friends.

Now that things in the country of Damao have come to an end, he plans to return home in two days.

At 6:30 in the evening, Yang Yukun arrived at the Wuhai Port Small Theater.

"Xiao Kun."

"Pollock, I wish you a successful premiere of your adapted play."

"Thank you."

"nervous?"

“It was a little bit nervous.”

Pollock was not a fledgling playwright, he was a very mature playwright.

However, the play performed this time is adapted from a Xia Guo play. I don’t know whether the audience can accept such an adaptation and understand its connotation and charm.

The premiere was about to begin, but Pollock was still a little nervous.

"We have a saying in Xia country, whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. I believe the premiere will be a great success."

"Xiao Kun, thank you. Natasha and the others have already gone in. You can go in too."

"I'm waiting for two friends."

Ajelina and Anasha had not arrived yet, and Yang Yukun and Pollock were chatting at the door of the small theater.

At the entrance of the small theater, there is a poster of "Tea Room" with the names of the screenwriter, director and main actors on it.

Judging from the content presented in the poster, the scene is somewhat different from "Tea House". After all, it is a localized adaptation for Russia and naturally cannot be copied here, otherwise it will not suit the local environment.

"My friend is here."

Seeing a Pangu Wrangler off-road vehicle parked in front of the Five Seas Harbor Small Theater, Ajelina and Chekov got out of the car.

"Adelina, Chekov."

"Xiao Kun."

"Let me introduce you. This is Pollock, the screenwriter of today's play." Yang Yukun introduced: "This is Ajelina, and this is her husband Chekov."

"Hello Pollock," Ajelina said, "I know you. I've seen your ballet."

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to the premiere of my new play. Please come in."

"Xiao Kun, let's go in together."

"You guys go in first, I have two friends who haven't arrived yet."

"Then we'll wait with you."

"Here it comes." Another Pangu Wrangler off-road vehicle drove over. Yang Yukun's eyesight was relatively good, and he could see from a distance that it was Anasha's license plate.

Anasha said, "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, we are late."

"There are still twenty minutes until the show starts. You are not late."

"Director Yang."

"Hello, Alina." Yang Yukun said, "This is Anasha and Alina, Adelina and Chekov, and our playwright Pollock."

"Anasha, Alina, hello."

"Hello, Adelina, Chekov, Pollock, nice to meet you."

"The show is about to start, let's go in."

Pollock said, "Xiao Kun, you go in first."

"it is good."

Yang Yukun, Ajelina and his wife, and Anasha and his wife walked into the Five Seas Harbor Small Theater, came to the theater where "Tea House" was being performed, and found their seats according to their ticket numbers.

"Old Uncle Valery, Aunt Maria, Sister-in-law, Natasha."

"Xiao Kun, you're here."

"There are a lot of people."

"Pollock is a famous playwright after all, and the lead actor of this play is also a very famous drama actor in Wuhai Port. It's not surprising that so many people came."

“Hey, there are fellow villagers here.”

Yang Yukun heard a few familiar accents in the theater, turned around and saw that there were indeed a few Chinese people whispering.

Judging from his young age, he is probably an international student from China who came to Wu Hai Zhi Hong to study.

Pollock's play is advertised as an adaptation of a Xia country play, so these international students in the Five Seas Port will be attracted to come and watch it.

Ten minutes later, the actors came on stage and the performance began. (End of this chapter)
