Chapter X: Base Areas
Lu Changdong is already forty or fifty years old, and he is in charge of a party in Shuanghe Town, so he is naturally a bit level.
The reason why Hugou Village Primary School was abandoned was because Lu Changdong built a town primary school in the town, and the unified management and planning of educational resources improved the work efficiency and the quality of the students.
There is a Hugou village in the town, and there is a Zhang family in the village, which has been passed down from generation to generation in the old shadow puppet play, and Lu Changdong knew it on the day he arrived.
Now a few people in Hugou Village are quietly planning such a big thing, if it weren't for the call from the deputy director of the Cultural Bureau, even he would have been kept in the dark.
It's not something to be done casually, it's an intangible cultural heritage!
Once the old cavity is successfully declared and becomes an intangible cultural heritage, Hugou Village will be famous, and Shuanghe Town will also be famous.
When the time comes, hang a sign, the birthplace of the old dialect, the inheritance of the old dialect, and the economy of Shuanghe Town can also make a large part of the surrounding towns and villages.
That's a big deal.
"Xiao Zhang, we are all our own family, if you bring it up, won't we still help you?" Lu Changdong said earnestly.
Mayor Lu was right. Zhang He didn't dare to refute, but felt a little regretful in his heart.
If I thought of this, I would have gone to Lu Changdong a long time ago, why bother to find Feng Hao, and I could also open other conditions from Feng Hao.
But it's over, and there's no point in regretting it.
Zhang Delin and several old people also rushed over at this time.
"Mayor Lu. A few old men greeted each other.
Lu Changdong hurriedly got up, and now in his eyes, these old men are treasures, and they are the key to whether Shuanghe Town can become famous.
Old artists need respect.
"Delin, it's going to be hard for you now, our whole town will go all out to support you, you will sing in Hugou Village in the future, and the meal will be provided by our government. Lu Changdong said.
Zhang Delin nodded with a smile and thanked them repeatedly.
Lu Changdong took care of their food, which can be regarded as an expression of attitude, but it also revealed that the town can't give anything else.
Shuanghe has no other source of income, and finances are strained, so it's good to have a few mouthfuls of food peeking through your fingers.
Lu Changdong put the key in Zhang He's hand.
"Xiao Zhang, I'll give you this key, you can use it as you like, you're welcome, this place is also placed, when you don't want to use it, just return the key." ”
"Thank you, Mayor Lu. Zhang He took the key and thanked him.
Lu Changdong patted Zhang He's shoulder, and was very emotional, things are not people.
Zhang He is the first undergraduate student in Hugou Village, when he was admitted to university, the whole village sat at the table, and Lu Changdong also came, at that time Zhang He was still a child, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a young face, and now he has become a big boss.
Hugou Village produces capable people, but no one learns the old dialect.
The times are changing, and no one knows how long traditional culture can last.
"The town will hold a theatrical gala in a few days, if you change it, you will participate in our town's theatrical gala first, let's see for ourselves first, if there is no problem, we will report." Lu Changdong admonished.
This sentence also woke up Liu Xingwu.
It's just his wishful thinking to change it, and it has to go through the test of the market, and the people say that it is really good.
Art should not only show its own charm, but also serve the public, and self-appreciation will only bring extinction.
"Mayor Lu, please rest assured, if it is corrected, I will show you the first one. Liu Xingwu said with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll go. Lu Changdong patted his ass after speaking, and prepared to leave.
Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "The rice is on the pot, eat a meal and then leave." ”
After that, Zhao Yun directly grabbed Lu Changdong's arm and persuaded him.
"Mayor Lu, you have come all the way here, if you don't even eat, others will say that our Zhang family has slammed the door. Zhao Yun persuaded him.
has a flexible brain and can say with a mouth, if he hadn't married Zhang Xing, a stuffy gourd, maybe he would have been able to make a career.
Zhao Yun is deeply liked by the elders in the village.
Zhang Delin waved his hand and said, "Mayor Lu, stay and have a meal together." ”
The old man spoke, and Zhao Yun hurriedly ran to the kitchen to put a plate of dishes out.
Zhang He and Liu Xingwu also went to the kitchen to set up a handle and helped Zhao Yun get everything ready.
A large round table, where everyone sits around, is placed a bottle of Xifeng wine.
"I'm going back to town later, so I'm not going to drink anything. Lu Changdong refused.
It doesn't matter if you don't drink, after all, you are a state cadre, although you can't mess around casually when you're outside.
Zhang He grabbed a child who was playing around, and took out a ten-yuan paper ticket from his pocket.
"Go buy two large barrels of fresh oranges, and keep the rest of the money for yourself. Zhang He commanded.
When the child saw that it was ten yuan, he smiled and ran out immediately with the money.
There are many fresh oranges in unity, more C and more beautiful, four dollars and five cents in large barrels, nine dollars for two barrels, and one dollar can be left as a running fee, and children are willing.
As soon as he ran out, all the other children chased after him.
This dollar is a huge amount of money for them, and those who see it have a share, and they must be wiped out.
Zhang He and a few people sat on the edge of the table, and there were dishes on the table.
It didn't take long for the group of children to return, with drinks in one hand and snacks in the other, all looking like they had robbed a bank.
Open a drink, one cup per person, everyone is eating steamed buns and vegetables, and the bowl in front of them is porridge made of grain grits, home-cooked, down-to-earth, and Lu Changdong is also happy to eat.
"Xiao Zhang, you should do a good job in this matter, the town will hold a celebration party for you when the application for the World Heritage is successful. Lu Changdong continued.
Everyone doesn't know if the old man can succeed in applying for the World Heritage Site, but young people always need a little encouragement if they want to do things.
After eating and drinking, Lu Changdong was sent away, and everyone returned to the village.
Zhang He and Liu Xingwu didn't care about resting, and went directly to the Hugou Primary School in the village.
The elementary school was in tatters, with a large old iron door with a rusty lock hanging from it.
Inserting the key in, crunching, Zhang He tried several times but didn't twist it, and almost broke the key.
Finally, I ran to the car to find lubricating oil, filled the lock hole a little, and then opened the lock.
"Find time to buy a new lock, this place is ours for the time being, we need to clean it up. Zhang He said.
Hugou Primary School is not big, there is a room inside, there are three rooms, an office, a storage room, a classroom, there is a small open space outside, there is a square platform in the open space, and a flagpole stands on it.
The walls of the house were made of earth, the roof was made of tiles, and it was old, and the windows on the doors and windowsills were covered with dust, and the windows were made of wood, and the green paint on them had fallen a lot, which was very mottled.
Two men walked in, took the keys and opened all three room doors, and examined the inside.
The classroom was empty, the desks and chairs had long since been moved to the town elementary school, and there were still two brooms, a broom, a dustpan, a bucket, a mop tied together with rags, and some discarded sundries in the storage room.
There was still a broken desk in the office, barely functional.
"What a place. Liu Xingwu sighed.
Walking in here, I was very excited to think that this would be their place after this place.
The two young men were full of energy, and they carried buckets to the well to fetch a bucket of water, and cleaned the house inside and out, wiping everything inside and out.
"The classroom will be used as a training room in the future, and the size is just right, and you can set up a bed in the office, so you can sleep when you are busy. Liu Xingwu planned.
Although he has seen a big scene, Zhang He is also very happy when he looks at it.
The two of them went to the city to buy some things, bought locks, and changed the locks on the doors of the three rooms and the padlocks on the doors.
Zhang He is an engineering student, he has been in the factory for several years, and his hands-on ability is not a problem, just change the lock, even if he dismantles the door, there is no problem.
By the time the two of them had packed up, it was already night, the evening breeze was blowing through the sky, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the stars were dotted.
There was a color striped cloth on the ground that they had just bought, and the two of them spread it out directly and lay on the ground, looking at the sky with their eyes.
"Comrade Lao Liu, today I announce the appointment of you as the head and artistic director of the Laoqiang Art Troupe!" Zhang He joked.
"Comrade Lao Zhang, I announce the appointment of you as the head of the logistics department of the Lao Xiang Art Troupe!" Liu Xingwu was not polite.
With that, the two of them burst out laughing.
"Why am I the head of the logistics department?" Zhang He was not convinced.
"You don't know art, and you can't sing old words, you say you have nothing left but money, no, you can't make a lot of money from your broken factory, so let's clean honestly." Liu Xingwu said with a smile.
Zhang He was angry when he heard this, and got up from the ground.
"Who said I couldn't sing the old dialect?" Zhang He was not happy.
"Will you?" Liu Xingwu didn't believe.
"I'll sing you a little bit. ”
"Here you come. Liu Xingwu's eyes widened and he hurriedly got up.
Although he knew that Zhang He was from an old family, he had never heard him sing old words.
Zhang He cleared his throat and took a deep breath.
"His eldest uncle and his second uncle are all his uncles!"
When the singing sounded, Liu Xingwu was dumbfounded, he could really sing.
"The high tables and low benches are all wood. Zhang He continued to sing.
"The sun is full and the moon is bent in the sky. ”
"Men laugh and women cry on the kang. ”
Liu Xingwu listened to it with relish, although compared with Zhang Delin and the old people, the singing voice is still a little worse, but it is also very good.
"Why is it gone? Liu Xingwu hurriedly said.
When I heard the itch, it was gone.
Zhang He said: "I won't sing in the back." ”
"Then you still say you can sing?" Liu Xingwu showed a hint of disdain on his face.
"One section is also sung. ”
"There is no successor to the old Zhang family. Liu Xingwu looked up to the sky and sighed.
Zhang He pushed it up, and the two scuffled together.
In the evening, Liu Xingwu pushed the motorcycle and left the village alone, and Zhang He also returned to the house.
When passing by Zhang Deyun's house, Zhang He found that the lights inside were still on.
He walked over and found the door open with a small crack and was about to help close it.
As soon as he walked up to him, he glanced sideways.
Inside the room, Zhang Deyun was sitting at the table, holding a shadow puppet in his hand and looking at it carefully, his face full of reluctance.
