Chapter 2310
Although his work in Chongjin County was busy, his painting and calligraphy had never been dropped. Sometimes, in his spare time, painting and writing were his best form of leisure and a way to cultivate his character.
However, he also knew that if he really wanted to achieve greatness in his art, bitter practice behind closed doors every day would be of no use. It is very important to draw on the strengths of others and absorb beneficial nutrients from other cultural forms.
Therefore, every time he went to a place, he would pay attention to the local folk culture. Xidu's folk culture forms are very diverse. He bought these folk items so that after returning, he could slowly ponder and absorb the nutrients in them, allowing his art to be improved.
After staying in Xidu for two days, Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya went to the capital to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the capital.
In fact, it had only been a few months since they last came to the capital, but for this annual Spring Festival, they had to come to pay New Year's greetings to these elders.
Human connections are established in these repeated interpersonal interactions. If you don't come to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, how can the relationship be maintained?
Therefore, every time the New Year comes, it is the time when Su Xinghui is most tired. Lu Xiaoya is fine; after arriving in the capital, she stayed at Elder Yu's home. Su Xinghui had to run to every family, and not a single one could be missed.
However, this time, Su Xinghui still couldn't meet Premier Nan because during the Spring Festival, Premier Nan, as a central leader, had to go down to inspect. On the day Su Xinghui arrived in the capital, Premier Nan was far away in Yuedong. Su Xinghui could only let Gu Shanmin bring his greetings to Premier Nan.
Su Xinghui didn't stop for a moment. By the second day in the capital, he had already visited all the places he should have. That evening, Su Xinghui was free. Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu specially took him and Lu Xiaoya out to watch a performance.
Speaking of this performance, it was not ordinary. This was the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet Company's visiting performance in China. The repertoire performed was the classic ballet "The Nutcracker."
The Bolshoi Theatre Ballet Company is one of the top ballet companies in Russia, and its level is also among the best in the world. "The Nutcracker" is one of Tchaikovsky's classic works. Especially since the scenes depicted in this dance drama are the Western Christmas, it has a strong festive atmosphere. Watching such a dance drama during the Spring Festival is absolutely appropriate.
For such a performance, it's not that anyone who wants to watch can buy a ticket. Without a certain level and status, even rich people might not be able to buy tickets. Of course, this problem was completely not a problem for the siblings Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu. As long as they wanted, there were no tickets they couldn't buy in the capital.
