These famous characters are also the signature of the troupe, and their stage names have become another name for the troupe. It is often said that:

The play of Hei Erni written by my village.

Xiangyang Village has started a play, it is Zhou Dani's play.

The Changzhuang temple fair invited the play of the little black cow.

However, most of the troupes perform in permanent theaters. The original courtyard of the brigade headquarters was built with a stage mound, and it became a simple theater, which was operated by a special person. The original house of the brigade headquarters was used for the members of the troupe to live and rest.

In the spring and winter farming season, the theater operators come forward to invite plays, and the money for the plays is also spent by them, and they provide food and accommodation for the theater troupe free of charge. The masses need to pay for tickets to watch the play, generally charging two cents per person and bringing their own seats.

During the New Year's holidays, some villages will also invite opera troupes to sing. Generally, the old people in the village are worried, and each family redeems money to invite the opera troupe, praying for good weather and abundant grains.

Hantun Village invited the show this year to thank the King of the Yellow River and thank him for saving the village from flooding last year.

When they got home at five o'clock in the afternoon, the stage was already set. To the south of the fortified platform in the west of the village is a wooden stage made of stakes and planks.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a high stage, a tent set up with a green canvas, a purple curtain, and a red banner with a big word "Zhangmiao Yu Opera Troupe" written on it.

Listening to the old people in the village, the Zhangmiao Yu Opera Troupe is a big opera troupe here, this troupe travels all the year round, no name and no faction, but it has the ability to coax the atmosphere lively.

The troupe lived in classrooms in the school, where desks were used to make makeshift beds, and meals were provided by the village staff. The heating wall in the classroom burned two days in advance, and the temperature in the room rose to more than 20 degrees, which was very warm.

The stage sits north and faces south, separated by green canvas from the front and backstage, and the backstage is where the actors prepare for makeup, and the front desk is pulled with a golden velvet curtain.

To the north of the stage is a high platform, and under the stage is a village forest, which can accommodate thousands of people to watch the play. It is enough to fit the folks of three towns and five miles, and people from nearby villages can see it when they come.

In the place where the stage was directly facing the stage, the people of the village put up a long bench and occupied a good position in advance.

Every family in the village has relatives living in it, and there are many new faces all of a sudden. The daughter-in-law's mother's family and the married daughters are all invited to the house in advance to live and watch the play in peace.

Aunt Asaka's mother's family came, and Aunt Katsuo also called her father. My aunt's maiden home is close, and I'll come back tomorrow when I listen to the play.

Two relatives lived in the family, and both the aunt and uncle started cooking. Anyway, there is a lot of food prepared a year ago, most of it is cooked food, and cooking is simple.

Last year, the two of them set up a garment factory in partnership with Aunt Chaoxia's maiden family and the second grandfather's family in Osmanthus Village, which is the first individual garment factory since the implementation of the production responsibility system, and also the first garment factory in Pingcheng County.

The two of them are related to their uncle's family, and Osmanthus's father-in-law is the village party secretary, and the garment factory is in his yard. The people in the village thanked them for finding a way to make money, but it didn't cause a big reaction.

For Hantun Village, the individual and the collective are the same, and the management fee is withdrawn. But for the organizers, the difference is huge.

For a long time, half of the processing fees of the garment factories in each village have been used by the collective, which is a high income.

In general, there are 30 people in the garment factory in the village, and each person earns 50 or 60 yuan a month. More than 30 people provide nearly 2,000 yuan of income to the village every month.

In the garment factory in their village, half of the income belongs to the two of them, they share half of it, and half of the family's income, and the monthly income is more than 100 yuan.

This can be regarded as a high income in the countryside, and osmanthus is more valued in the in-law's family. She is now a mother of three.

The three children are all boys, and the eldest is five years old. He has a long tiger head and a tiger brain, and is taller than his peers.

This is exactly what the osmanthus mother-in-law is looking forward to, the osmanthus in-laws look at the child very seriously, and the osmanthus is still the same as in the mother's house, what to do is in a hurry.

Every time I go back to my parents' house, the second grandmother tells her to be more stable at her mother-in-law's house, but her natural temper is changed when she says it.

Every time her husband came with him, he would defend her when he heard it: "My father and mother like osmanthus have such a character, she is hearty and generous, and she goes straight to everything she does, and she doesn't hide it." ”

There were nearly twice as many people in the village at once, and it was very lively, which reminded Youyou of the nursery rhyme "Watching the Big Opera".

Pull the big saw, pull the big saw,

Grandma's house, singing a big opera,

Pick up the daughter-in-law, please son-in-law,

The little grandson is also going,

Build a tent today, hang a color tomorrow,

Lamb buns are placed upward,

Don't eat, don't eat, eat two hundred.

Pull the big saw, pull the big saw,

Grandma's house, singing a big opera,

Pick up the daughter-in-law, please son-in-law,

The little grandson is also going,

Don't eat, don't eat, eat two hundred.

Hantun Village invited not only the daughter, but also the son-in-law's family. Jiege, Jingzhi and Zhao Fang invited their in-laws' relatives to their homes early.

After they came, they were ceremoniously entertained by their daughter-in-law's family, not to mention eating and drinking, and the old people in the family accompanied them to show respect.

The old people of these families were still a little worried, but what they saw and heard after coming here finally relieved their hearts.

In particular, seeing that their son's family is living a prosperous life, and the new courtyard of five main houses is made of mixed bricks, which makes them even more satisfied.

The third daughter of Jing Zhi's second grandmother's family, watching Jing Zhi live a good life in her mother's house, said to her father and mother sadly: "Why didn't you think about recruiting a son-in-law for me at that time, if that were the case, I wouldn't have to suffer now." ”

Her mother slapped her on the face: "You don't have a long heart, can you compare with Jing Zhi? When is she when are you?"

Her daughter asked puzzledly: "Mother, what are you talking about, I can't compare to Jingzhi there, I am old now, and when I was young, I was also a famous handsome girl." ”

The old lady pointed to her brows and counted her down: "You also look handsome, but you don't have Jingzhi's life."

She has caught up with a good time, and now how many good young men are vying to be the son-in-law of our village.

At that time, who was willing to plug the door upside down, wasn't your father and I afraid that you would be aggrieved?

You also say that you are a well-known handsome girl, and even if you want, we are reluctant to find you a son-in-law.

If it weren't for you, your Dao brother would be able to take care of three families in one family. Fortunately, Jingzhi recruited a son-in-law to reduce the burden on your brother.

His own boy is small, and he will be tired enough if we are all old. ”

Her daughter understood, and in turn stabilized the old man: "Mother, don't you still have my sisters when you are old, we are better now, and we can provide for you in old age."

How can you really let Brother Dao Dao support you alone, Jingzhi, who is a granddaughter, can support you, if our daughters don't make any efforts, they must not let people pay attention to death.

Not to mention that it's better now, even if we put it aside, we can't do without our parents. ”
