Chapter 9: Kneel

At the main table of the birthday banquet, he saw the old lady of the Shi family, an old man with pale hair and wrinkled face, but she was very kind, and there was always a smile on her face.

The old lady pulled He Xiangdong to sit beside her and asked about He Xiangdong's situation, He Xiangdong also answered one by one, and when she heard that He Xiangdong had no parents since he was a child, but just followed the master to learn art, the old lady sighed distressedly.

Shi Laosan also advised: "Mom, let the children rest, people say that they are tired of cross talk for a long time." ”

The old lady of the Shi family let go of He Xiangdong, and He Xiangdong also looked up at the pillar of the Shi family, Shi Laosan was about thirty years old, short and flat-headed, and looked much calmer than the boss of the Shi family, of course, the shrewdness of the businessman on his body was also very obvious.

Shi Laosan took out a red envelope from his arms and said to He Xiangdong: "This is your reward today, thank you for coming to the rescue." ”

"You're welcome. He Xiangdong stretched out the back of his hand and took the red envelope from Shi Laosan's hand. Artists never receive money with their palms up, they are performing arts, not begging.

In the past, when storytelling artists were selling their art to make money, they would open the fan and use the fan to receive money, or find a basket, which was not touched with their hands. This habit was later learned by cross talk artists, when performing in the tea house to make money, cross talk actors also took the basket to receive money, and when they had to use their hands, they also had their hands facing up, which was the rule.

It was getting late, it was getting dark, and the birthday banquet was over, at that time, the dinner party was eaten until dark, and it was not said that it was eaten until midnight, and you couldn't go back if you ate too late.

Out of Shi's house, He Xiangdong couldn't wait to open the red envelope and look at it, this time, his eyes almost popped out, and there was 20 yuan in the red envelope.

That's a lot of money.

At that time, the rural craftsmen worked for the owner, and it was only one yuan a day, and 20 yuan was a month's income.

He Xiangdong's heart thumped uncontrollably, as a child with only a few cents of pocket money, where had he ever seen so much money. He has already begun to think about it, even if the master goes out to perform arts, he can't make so much money, he will hand over the money to the master later, and the master may not know how to praise him.

"I was watching the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I heard the chaos outside the city, and the flag was waving in the air, but it turned out to be a soldier sent by Sima. He Xiangdong sang the Peking Opera "Empty City Strategy", and at the same time made the figure of Peking Opera come to a tyrant, cloud hands, kicks, lunges, riding horses and squatting crotch poses, straddle legs, whole sleeves, crowns, tight armor A whole coherent action was made, and a armor debut ceremony came, and he left after he was finished.

"Meow, meow...... Woo Woo ......"

After a while, Tian Jiani ran out, this is the code agreed between He Xiangdong and Tian Jiani, as soon as the sound of the cat and dog war sounded, the two secretly came out to meet.

He Xiangdong is now hiding outside the fence of Tian Jiani's house. Tian Jiani was a little surprised when she saw He Xiangdong and asked, "Why did you call me out so late?"

He Xiangdong mysteriously took out a roast chicken wrapped in a plastic bag from his big bag, handed it over, and said, "I brought you something good." ”

"Boom. Tian Jiani swallowed her saliva uncontrollably, her eyes could no longer leave the roast chicken in her hand, and she asked, "Where did you get this?" ”

"Of course, it's a good job. He Xiangdong proudly told today's story, focusing on his wonderful ability to save the scene in danger and astonish.

Tian Jiani's eyes were full of colorful ripples, and her eyes when she looked at He Xiangdong were full of admiration.

He Xiangdong said that he enjoyed it very much.

Tian Jiani said enviously: "Wow, you are really amazing, if I am asked to perform in front of so many people, I will definitely not dare, you ...... You're really amazing. ”

"That's, do you see, the reward given by people for this matter is a full twenty yuan. He Xiangdong took out the money again.

Tian Jiani's eyes lit up and she was impressed.

He Xiangdong deliberately said indifferently: "Hey, this is nothing, yes, you can eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, it will be cold." ”

Although she had swallowed several catties of saliva, Tian Jiani still resisted the urge to eat meat and said, "I want to give it to Master first." ”

He Xiangdong asked, "Your master said that you came in the morning, you don't blame him." ”

Tian Jiani said with a very serious face: "That's my master, he said that I was for my good, how can I blame him." ”

"Good boy. He Xiangdong praised and said, "Okay, you can eat quickly, I also prepared it for your master, that is also my uncle, can I not think about him." As he spoke, He Xiangdong took out a roast chicken from the big bag.

"Wow, you're awesome, I have to send it to Master quickly. Tian Jiani snatched the roast chicken from He Xiangdong's hand and trotted home, leaving He Xiangdong alone in the wind.

After a while, He Xiangdong couldn't cry or laugh, and opened his big bag, which contained a hoof and a bottle of liquor, which he was ready to honor his master. Tian Jiani's master never drank alcohol in order to protect his throat, and He Xiangdong's master didn't drink in his early years, but now that he is older, he is casual, and occasionally drinks a little.

He Xiangdong carried a few things to eat and went home, when he got home, it was already dark, and the house was still lit with dim lights, old-fashioned incandescent lamps, 20 watts, the light was not strong.

"Master, I'm back. He Xiangdong was already shouting at the door, and he trotted in directly, and when he pushed open the door, he saw the master sitting alone on the stool.

Fang Wenqi tonight was a little scary, sitting on the stool gloomily, staring at He Xiangdong with two eyes, and He Xiangdong was a little hairy in his heart.

He Xiangdong stood at the door timidly, and he didn't dare to step forward.

"What did you do today? Fang Wenqi asked in a deep voice.

When asked this, He Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little pride: "Master, I went to talk to others today. The Shi family, the Shi family, you know, is the 10,000-yuan household, his family holds a birthday banquet, and there is a shortage of manpower on the stage, so I saved them. They gave me money, 20 yuan, and all these ......."

"Bang. Before He Xiangdong could finish speaking, Fang Wenqi had already slapped the table.

He Xiangdong was startled and looked at the master blankly.

Fang Wenqi's face was even more gloomy, and he said angrily: "Who asked you to go out to talk about cross talk, who!" The last word was scolded.

He Xiangdong was already completely stunned, and he was also frightened, tears rolled in his eyes, he didn't understand, obviously he had performed very well and earned money, but why was the master so angry.

"Get down on my knees. Fang Wenqi shouted angrily.

He Xiangdong knelt down, and the tears of grievance finally fell.

Fang Wenqi's anger did not subside: "Cry, you are still embarrassed to cry, look at what you have done." And these things, what are you doing with them, ah? ”

Fang Wenqi threw away the hoofs and liquor that He Xiangdong had specially brought to honor him.

He Xiangdong's tears couldn't stop flowing down, and his thin body was trembling slightly, but he still couldn't hold back and didn't dare to cry.

"You kneel here and reflect. Dropping this sentence, Fang Wenqi turned around and went back to the bedroom.
