Chapter 42 Alternative Classrooms
Seeing Zhou Heng coming, the people on the five taxis all got out of the car.
Jiang Xiaoxuan sat in the first car, and after getting out of the car, she smiled at Zhou Heng and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou, please take us to your Teacher Liu's house, is it okay?"
She had only been here once, and she said she hadn't written down the way yet.
After more than a dozen people got out of the taxi, they all gathered around, and the five taxis turned around and left.
Zhou Heng looked at such a large group of people, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you brought, what are you looking for? What are you looking for our teacher Liu? He is seventy years old and can't stand the toss." ”
I have never heard of any relatives outside Mr. Liu, but he has taught in Longxi Village all his life, and almost all of them know what relatives are in the family.
If you want to say that he is full of peach and plums all over the world, but he has only taught elementary school, what is going on with this large group of young people from other places?
Jiang Xiaoxuan said to him in a gentle tone: "That's the case, didn't I shoot the shadow puppet show performed by Teacher Liu and Teacher He last time? They are all shadow puppet lovers, and they want to come over to see and learn to observe." ”
The rest of the young men and women immediately said, "Yes, yes, we're just here to learn." ”
"We won't bother Mr. Liu too much, just come and have a look. ”
Zhou Heng understood now, it turned out that this was the case, these people did look like college students.
So he said, "Oh, Mr. Liu is at home, but Mr. He works as a consultant in the city and doesn't usually come back." ”
You can't do shadow puppetry.
The last time Lao He was here, it happened to be a weekend holiday. He and Teacher Liu were bored, so they entertained themselves.
Obviously, Jiang Xiaoxuan had never considered this problem, and she was suddenly stuck.
She turned to look at the young people behind her and asked, "What do you say?"
She led the way, but she couldn't help it when the people weren't there!
She only thought that the person was from the village, and he was so old, so he must be in the village. So I didn't think about the appointment time.
A group of college students did not have much social experience, and they also discussed problems when they encountered them, and some said that we should hurry back to their city;
Some people said that they don't have a bus stop here, and now they are afraid that they will not be able to go back to the city;
Some people say that now that this point is over, even if they rush to the city, it is estimated that they will be off work there, and they will definitely not be able to meet anyone.
Twitter has no clue.
Zhou Heng waited for them to discuss, but did not say anything.
At this time, a girl came up and asked him with a smile: "Hey, handsome guy, that beautiful kitten is your family, right? Why didn't you take it out, let's see?"
Zhou Heng: "......"
How can there be a cat in the countryside who can hold a cat at any time?
Eighty percent was told to her by Jiang Xiaoxuan, it seems that this is another cat lover, and she asked the cat just after saying hello.
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked back at Xue Shi and whispered: "You are serious, now you are talking about things." ”
Gu Xueshi pursed her lips and said in her heart: You can only be serious in front of outsiders, and you are crazier than me.
However, she did not expose her to her face.
They finally discussed the result, anyway, they are all here, why don't you go to Mr. Liu's house first.
Zhou Heng led a large group of people through the villages and came to Teacher Liu's house.
Longxi Village is a remote village, and it is only during the harvest season that there are some strangers who buy crops, who come by car to buy things, or some people who sell things here, and there are few strangers who usually come.
Today, more than a dozen young men and women came to Hulala, and everyone who saw it couldn't help but take a second look.
Now that the world is in turmoil, I always read the news that some people go to the countryside to cheat old men and old ladies, or human traffickers steal children or something, and they dare not be careless.
Don't look at them all dressed brightly and look young, but who knows what a liar looks like? Who will write the word "liar" on the door of their heads?
Fortunately, Zhou Heng walked in front, otherwise, they would have to be careful.
Even so, someone still walked out and asked him, "Xiao Heng, are these your friends?"
Zhou Heng replied to them: "This is a college student from other places, who wants to come to learn from Teacher Liu to sing shadow puppetry." ”
Some people were full of "oh, oh" sounds.
came to the door of Teacher Liu's house, Zhou Heng saw Teacher Liu sitting inside through the open courtyard door, and he was listening to the erhu alone.
Zhou Heng shouted: "Teacher Liu, you have guests at your house today, these students are all here to visit you." ”
Teacher Liu looked out, yo, there are so many children!
No, the young man in his twenties is not a child in his eyes.
But he doesn't know any of these children!
Teacher Liu let them all go into the courtyard.
When he saw Jiang Xiaoxuan, he immediately recognized it, and happily chatted with her.
The old rule, they talk about things, and Zhou Heng acts as a translator.
I heard that these are all interested in shadow puppetry, and they are all admired to learn and observe, Mr. Liu's happiness, don't mention it.
As a teacher, he has a hobby and fun of teaching and educating people, and someone comes to the door to apprentice, which is what he is happy about;
Especially when they came for the shadow puppet show, it made him even happier.
This old art, which is about to be cut off, has been neglected for a long time, and he is really excited that so many young people suddenly come with the purpose of learning.
Lao He often discussed with him some shadow puppet plays, composing music, action scenes, and sometimes talking about some modern improvements, so he also has some shadow puppet objects here.
Having said that, he and Lao He have different opinions on the improvement of shadow puppetry.
He believes that in today's era, shadow puppetry can be slightly improved to cater to modern aesthetics and tastes, otherwise, sooner or later it will be forgotten;
But Lao He believes that shadow puppetry is a traditional classic opera, an old art, and it should uphold the old tradition and preserve the original flavor, which is the most authentic and authentic local shadow puppetry, and it is best to preserve even the dialect singing, otherwise, even if it is barely inherited, it is no longer the original.
The two often argued, but they couldn't get a result.
It doesn't matter if they can't get results, and it doesn't prevent them from entertaining themselves often.
These students listened to Lao Liu's explanation, and then took the shadow puppet objects one by one, admired them carefully, and let out bursts of exclamations.
They are all students of the Film and Television Academy, and what they learn is about beauty and art, so they have their own aesthetics and thoughts on these objects.
The courtyard was lively, and the outside of the courtyard also began to be lively, and many people crowded at the gate of the courtyard and began to watch.
Mr. Liu is a respected teacher in the village, he is 70 years old, and he has never had any relatives from other places in his family, and at this time more than a dozen young people suddenly came to visit, which completely aroused the curiosity of the people in the village.
It was strange to see that they were interested in Teacher Liu's shadow puppets, asking questions, and hearing that they were all speaking Mandarin.
There are very few people in the village who speak Mandarin.
Even those who came to buy crops and sell things spoke dialects within a radius of dozens of miles, and no one from farther would come.
Mr. Liu enthusiastically and tirelessly explained to the students, answering everything he knew.
He still has a little regret, why is Lao He not here today? Otherwise, he will be able to answer more things.
After all, Lao He is the inheritor and can answer more professionally, and he is just a teacher who has taught music and can play musical instruments.
But the students didn't care at all, and asked him to play an erhu on the spot, to sing a voice, they wanted to feel it.
Teacher Liu was naturally happy, and when he chatted with young people like this, he seemed to be much younger.
Let's have a section of "The Ugly Son-in-law Returns to the Door", anyway, they can't understand the dialect singing, and they sing the same thing, so let's have a brisk one, which doesn't sound dull.
It's a pity that Lao He is not there, if he is there, he can control three or four shadow puppets by one person to have a real shadow puppet show.
Teacher Liu can only play erhu and sing, but he can't control shadow puppetry.
When people get old, even if they have learned many times, their fingers seem to have aged and are not as flexible. If it was a skill that was learned at a young age, it would definitely be learned.
The tune is melodious, the old man's singing voice is vicissitudes and atmospheric, and he can sing all over the yard without a microphone. Sometimes funny and witty, with realistic expressions, just like the characters in the play.
As soon as he picked up the erhu and started singing, he seemed to melt into it and no longer cared about the outside world.
He sang devotedly, and the students listened attentively, not only feeling the charm of this unintelligible dialect singing, but also feeling the artistic enthusiasm of the old man.
Isn't this a different kind of classroom?
It wasn't until after five o'clock that the men came back to their senses from their amazement.
It's a pity that Mr. Liu's family is going to prepare dinner, and it is inconvenient for them to continue to disturb.
Although Mr. Liu's wife also tried her best to keep them from having dinner together, looking at the old lady's staggering figure, the students were really embarrassed to bother and politely refused.
Walking out of the courtyard gate of Mr. Liu's house, the students fell into a discussion again.
It's so late, what's for dinner? This must not go back, where to stay at night?
When they came, they really didn't think about it so much, thinking that when they arrived, they would take a car back to see it, and at least they could go to the town, where they would have a place to eat and live.
I thought so, but I didn't know that I didn't arrive until the afternoon, and I only listened to a class, and it was almost evening. They didn't think in advance, so they asked for the phone number of the taxi driver and called it when they went back.
The real problem is in front of the big guys. What to do?
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at Zhou Heng with her eyes.
Gu Xueshi also looked at Zhou Heng with her eyes, it didn't matter if she left or not, she wanted to hurry up and see the kitten.
So, the students also looked at Zhou Heng with their eyes.
Zhou Heng has one head and two big.
These children are not reliable in doing things! What is the use of going out and not planning anything, and now looking at themselves?
Among these people, he only knew Jiang Xiaoxuan at best, and it was no problem to take care of her food and accommodation alone, after all, she had lived there last time.
But all of a sudden, there are so many people, and his family can't arrange it!
His family was supposed to cook for so many people tonight, and with so many people, he couldn't make the old lady tired.
