Chapter 333 Emergencies and the Deceased

Walking on stilts is one of the traditional folk activities in China. Stepping on stilts is commonly known as binding firewood feet, also known as "stilts", "stepping on stilts", the performers have strong skills, lively and diverse forms, and are deeply loved by the masses. This kind of folk activity, in the later life before Li Liang's drunken rebirth, almost lost a trace in the daily life of the people. Only occasionally in some officially organized folk activities can you see a little figure!

Li Liang followed his sister Li Meng, Chenchen and Zhang Junjie and a group of them, and after greeting the surrounding neighbors, they suddenly found that on the streets of Jiefang Street in Hekang County, a group of colorful people with unusually bright red faces appeared, dressed as different opera characters, and swaggered on stilts on Jiefang Street in Hekang County!

After this group of people stepping on stilts, they were followed by a group of folk actors wearing tea-picking costumes, babbling and singing tea-picking operas! Gannan tea-picking opera is one of the traditional opera genres native to Gannan in Gannan Province, which was formed as a play on the basis of local folk lanterns and tea-picking songs and dances, and its production and circulation have a long history.

In this era, people's spiritual life is very poor. Only the families of ordinary administrative organs, enterprises, and public institutions and workers have purchased television sets, and it is good for ordinary people to have a radio at home that can listen to the radio! Even many people do not even have a radio at home, and the electrical appliances at home may be just a flashlight! People who cannot see television or hear the radio will not be happy to see these folk activities that are not usually common during the Chinese New Year!

Li Liang and the others were curious and watching, and gradually, the entire Jiefang Street was crowded with people who heard the sound! Everyone called for friends and family members to come out of their homes, and watched the performers who were stepping on stilts and singing tea-picking operas!

For a while, the entire Hekang County was like boiling water, and the cheers of the onlookers rose and fell, which in turn seemed to encourage the performers and encourage them to perform harder!

Such a posture will of course alarm the police of the Chengguan Town Police Station in Hekang County.

Over the past two years, the public security situation in China has become worse and worse, and the public security has issued several circulars urging public security cadres and policemen in various localities to put the maintenance of public order in the first place in their current public security work!

No, when people gather on the streets to watch folk performances, something goes wrong!

Just when Li Liang was looking at it, suddenly, Li Liang faintly heard a burst of women's screams from the opposite alley: "Come on, someone is playing hooligan!"

At first, Li Liang didn't care, although he had already told Xuan Ming to pay attention this year, and he also knew that the social security in the past two years was not very good, but he really didn't expect that such a thing would occur on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the eighth and third years!

When the sharp female voice continued, the people standing near Li Liang heard it.

In recent years, there have been quite a few hooligans, but there are also quite a few people with a sense of justice! At that moment, a few people who heard the shouts followed the origin of the sound and groped all the way to the past!

Li Liang heard the shout, and naturally Chenchen, Junjie, Zhang Meng, and Li Meng also heard it, they glanced at each other, and followed the group of people with a full sense of justice through the crowded crowd and walked to the alley across the street!

At this moment, a young man wearing big bell bottoms ran out of the alley and ran out of the depths of the alley in a panic!

"Catch him, he's a hooligan!" a woman screamed in the depths of the alley!

So the crowd who came to check on immediately surrounded this panicked young man who ran out!

Li Liang and the others came late, and when they came to the front, the big guy had already pressed the young man in bell bottoms to the ground.

At this time, a woman who was limping and wearing a grass-green cotton coat walked out of the depths of the alley. This woman looks a little old, Li Liang looked at her quietly, estimating that she was in her thirties, probably because of the New Year, she rubbed some powder on her face, and she looked a little charming!

"Tell you to eat the old lady's tofu!" The woman didn't say a word, rushed to the young man who was pressed to the ground by everyone, and went up to slap him twice!

These two slaps were pumped hard, and the young man who was pumping screamed, and two anthurium prints appeared on his face soon!

"What do you think of this eldest sister?" someone asked!

At this time, some people in the crowd of onlookers coaxed: "I think let's just send it to the police station!"

"It's too heavy to send him to the police station, or let's beat him up like this, so that he will have a long memory in the future!"

The young man who was pressed to the ground listened, and said with a snort: "Don't send it to the police station, don't send it to the police station." I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!"

"Now I know it's wrong, why didn't I know it was wrong when I ate my tofu just now?" The woman gave him two more slaps, "This thing, just now I put my hand into my clothes and touched my mother's ***!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the onlookers such as Chenchen and Junjie turned red!

Li Meng hurriedly led Chenchen and Junjie out of the crowd of onlookers, ready to go home!

Zhang Meng saw that Li Meng was about to withdraw, and hurriedly withdrew. He is now Li Meng's twenty-four filial husband, since he got married, Li Meng said that he never said two, Li Meng said that he would never catch a rabbit when he caught a chicken!

Only Li Liang stood there and did not move, and he found that the young man who was pressed to the ground looked a little familiar! He thought about it in his mind for a long time, and finally remembered. Why does this guy look so much like a good friend he met in Xima Township a few years later?

In his previous life, after Li Liang graduated from Gangshan Normal School, he was assigned to Xima Township Central Primary School.

I remember that on the first day of my registration, he carried a suitcase of luggage and got on the bus bound for Xima Township at the bus station.

But after getting off the bus, Li Liang found himself dumbfounded, it turned out that he inquired with the people in the polder of Xima Township and found out that the Central Primary School of Xima Township was not in the polder, but on a mountain bag in the north of the polder!

The mountain bag doesn't look very high, but it is very heavy when you drag a large box of luggage, especially when there are many books in the luggage!

I remember that at that time, when Li Liang was walking on the mountain road to the primary school with the box, a young man passing by, when he learned that Li Liang was a teacher who had just been assigned to the Central Primary School in Xima Township, took the initiative to help Li Liang lift his box very enthusiastically, and helped Li Liang mention it all the way to the gate of the primary school before leaving!

At that time, Li Liang stood at the gate of the school, watching this young man leave, this young man was wearing a cool and bad bell bottoms that are rarely seen in the countryside, with a Chinese face, and the whole person made others look very comfortable, but he walked a little strangely, walking very slowly!

Later, Li Liang stayed in the Xima Township Central Primary School for a long time, lived alone, and gradually learned to cook in the dormitory assigned to him by the school! Sometimes in the morning, when Li Liang went to the market in Xima Township polder to buy vegetables, he could also see this young man.

At that time, this young man had already started a business of killing pigs and selling meat on the polder, and with the continuation of reform and opening up, the state gradually relaxed the restrictions on the sale of live pigs and allowed individuals to engage in this business!

Li Liang went to his stall to buy meat more often, and gradually became familiar with this young man! Occasionally, when the young man lowered his head and cut meat, he could also chat a few days!

Slowly, Li Liang learned that this young man was a native of the village near the polder in Xima Township, and once when he entered the city during the Chinese New Year, he didn't know why he was beaten, and when he came back, his legs became faster and he was a little limped!

This young man is a good person, he sells meat, unlike other stall owners, he is never short of catties or two, so there are many people who love to buy meat from his stall. When he encounters the kind of old man who can't eat meat a few times all year round, and occasionally buys back meat, he can only cut half a catty or eight taels, and he will spare a little more ribs, barrel bones and other things for them!

The author has long said in this book that people in this era do not like to eat pork ribs and lean meat, and what they love most is big fat slices! But when they meet an old man who can't even eat meat a few times, a little bit of pork ribs and barrel bones given by the stall owner is enough to make them grateful to Dade!

When Li Liang went to buy vegetables, he saw it many times and thought that this young man was good, so the two slowly became acquainted. Later, Li Liang learned that this young man's name was Zhang Jinhuan, and his grandfather was a butcher who killed pigs before liberation, and after the reform and opening up, he inherited his ancestral business and became a butcher. His family considers Zhang Fei, a reckless man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as his ancestor, and he slaughters more dogs than he pursues. So although Zhang Jinhuan has been selling meat on the polder since the 80s, when other butchers have made a fortune, his family's life is still ordinary, he married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to two babies, and his life is not good or bad!

Once when Li Liang was fine on the weekend, he invited Zhang Jinhuan to eat in his dormitory at school, and the two drank a few glasses of wine and opened up the topic.

Li Liang laughed at him at the time: "Zhang Jinhuan, you said that you are also killing pigs and selling meat, why did other people's families get up early in the new house?"

Although Zhang Jinhuan was dizzy from drinking at the time, he still said in a loud voice: "That's because our Zhang family has a family motto!"

It's just that Zhang Jinhuan, who has such a good family discipline, has no good life; first, his leg was hit with a problem; and then once, not long after Li Liang was transferred from the Xima Township Central Primary School to the township government to work, he heard that Zhang Jinhuan stabbed a gangster who molested women on the street with a bone scraper in his hand during a meeting, and was later sentenced to several years, leaving a wife with two children, and life was very difficult!

At that time, the people in the township also spontaneously organized petition representatives and went to the Hekang County People's Court to plead with the judge, hoping to give Zhang Jinhuan a light sentence!

Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Liang reunited with Zhang Jinhuan in advance in such a way, Zhang Jinhuan, the thug who dared to stab a molesting woman in the street, was the kind of person he hated the most a few years later, could it be said that it was because after the molesting woman was caught, his leg fell and he limped when he walked faster? That's why he hated molesting women so much a few years later?

Since Li Liang recognized Zhang Jinhuan, he couldn't ignore this matter, could he really just watch this friend from his previous life get injured in the leg like this?

"Liangzi, what do you want? Let's go back!" Zhang Meng turned around and pulled Li Liang, who was still watching!

"Brother-in-law, wait a minute!" Since Zhang Meng and his sister Li Meng got married, Li Liang changed his words and called Zhang Meng his brother-in-law!

After Li Liang finished speaking, he walked up to Zhang Jinhuan, who was held down by the masses, and said with a smile: "This sister, I see that you didn't suffer any losses, and gave him a few slaps, so forget about this matter! I believe he should never dare again in the future!"

Zhang Jinhuan, who was held down by everyone, saw that someone was speaking for him, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, I won't dare in the future, just bypass me this time!"

"Which green onion are you, it's too easy to spare him like this, isn't it?" said the victim woman a little reluctantly.

At this time, before Li Liang could speak, someone in the crowd burst into laughter: "What kind of green onion do you think he is? The supermarket at the corner of the street is opened by his family, you should all go! Also, "The Story of Spring", everyone has heard it, this is the song he wrote!"

The person who spoke was Zeng Xi, I don't know when she also mixed into the crowd!

"Ah, it's him?"

"He's Li Liang?"

"Wow, he's so handsome!"

Li Liang's name is well-known in Hekang County, since last year Gangshan Radio Station did a program, in which Li Liang, the songwriter of "The Story of Spring", which was popular all over the country, was still a student of Hekang No. 1 Middle School, people in Hekang County who had listened to the radio have inquired about Li Liang's situation. When everyone learned that Li Liang not only could write songs, but also had a first-class academic performance, they paid more attention to this teenager in Hekang County!

Many people in later generations will habitually think that people in the 80s will not chase stars, in fact, people in that era will also chase stars, and Li Liang, as if he is a star around them, is more and more respected by the people!

When the victim woman learned of Li Liang's identity, she said embarrassedly: "Classmate Li Liang, I'm sorry, I was wrong, just do what you say, I have no opinion!"

"It's okay, then let's let him go!"

After listening to what Li Liang said, everyone let go of Zhang Jinhuan's hand. Zhang Jinhuan stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and thanked Li Liang: "Thank you, I promise never to dare again in the future!"

Li Liang smiled: "It's okay, meeting is fate, let's talk while walking!"

Zhang Jinhuan seemed to want to take this opportunity to get out, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay!"
