"Who knows, I heard that many people in the village persuaded him to buy it, who can stop him?"

"It's a pity, this Zeng Youqu can't have burned his brain out by a fire, right? These hundreds of taels of silver, make two brick houses, and buy dozens of acres of high-quality fields, that's enough, and the rest will be left for the two sons to marry their daughters-in-law, seeing that the life of the small landlord is in hand, so confused?"

"Whatever, if he doesn't make a fool, where will we go? A dozen taels of silver, which is worth our hard work for more than half a year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"That's it, my daughter also said that in the town ready-to-wear store, I saw a set of clothes, I was too expensive, I wanted a tael and a half silver, I didn't let go, my mother-in-law and my daughter are not very fond of me for a few days, now I take this silver, go back and buy beautiful clothes home, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not allowed to offer me as an uncle. ”

There are many opinions, and most people are not optimistic about it anyway.

Zhang Heihu's face was tight, his fists were clenched tightly, what everyone said was exactly what he was worried about, and he didn't understand, so his aunt agreed to this?

Suddenly, two hands were placed on Zhang Heihu's shoulders, and when he turned his head, he saw Zeng Gao's eyes looking at him firmly, and said softly, "Don't worry. ”

He turned his head to look at Zeng Aijun again, and he also had a warm smile on his face, "You have to believe in peace of mind, believe in us." ”

Zhang Heihu frowned, what does it mean to believe in peace of mind? Could it be that the suggestion of buying a mountain was not the idea of my aunt and uncle, but the idea of Zeng Anxin?

His heart sank suddenly, and he panicked, what did Zeng Anxin want to do? She used to be a petty fight, and she only needed beautiful clothes and rouge and gouache, but now she actually made such a big joke?

No, he must have to talk to Zeng Anxin, I don't know if this mountain can be retreated?

Zeng Youqu naturally noticed everyone's discussion, but his original face was full of beard, so everyone could only see that his eyes were cold, his lips were pursed, and his lines were very steely, and the rest could not be seen clearly.

Zeng Anxin subconsciously squeezed Zeng Youqu's big hand, but Zeng Youqu smiled slightly, squatted down, rubbed his daughter's white and tender little face with his beard, and told her with movements, don't worry.

Tao Hai waved his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Now let's talk about the third thing, because this year's Zeng family's peace of mind has given our village the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival ceremony, so the county lord attaches great importance to us, so he decided to hand over the social drama activities on the night of the Spring Festival to our Taoyuan Town, Taoyuan Town has two villages, that is, we and Shengli Village, each village has four program places, but it is not so much, but it has to enter the town and the county to select, if you encounter the same, you may have to shout over to compete." Therefore, we must think of more ways and come up with more ideas, and when the time comes, there may be high-ranking officials from Beijing to watch social dramas? ”

The big guy immediately put Zeng Youqu's purchase of the mountain behind him, as if he couldn't believe it, "Village chief, what you said is true, can we really go to watch social dramas?"

The ancient social drama is equivalent to the modern literary and artistic report performance, which is divided into two kinds, one is the day of the spring, walking in front and behind the spring cattle, most of them are funded by some businessmen and hired people, and the musicians participate in it, performing such as Zhaojun out of the plug, Xi Shi Cailian, etc., and the masses like to hear the drama, to celebrate the New Year, pray for a good year.

The evening social drama of Meng Guo is organized by the program of each village and town, the big guy has been busy for a day, and after sending the spring cow to Liuxian Hall for offering, you can sit down and drink ingots tea, eat spring cakes, chat about the sky, and watch the lively and interesting social drama.

However, due to the limited number of county offices, in previous years, there were only a few people who could go to each village and town.

Because the people of Taoyuan Village have not participated in Xingchun for ten years, they have not had the opportunity to watch social dramas for ten years.

This excites them.

Tao Hai was also excited, and now that he saw Zeng Anxin, he couldn't wait to hold it directly to the desk and confess.

"It's not just about going to see it, it's about putting on a show. Mayor Shangguan said to me, let's come up with a specific program book in three days, everyone should be enthusiastic, and if you think of any good ideas, you will come to tell me. Don't hide any craftsmanship, now is when our Taoyuan Village shows its face in the county, when it is time to win glory, although our Taoyuan Village does not have the ingots of Shengli Village, nor the rich aquatic products of Qingshui Town, but we have the spirit of not admitting defeat. ”

Village Chief Tao is still quite good at inciting people, and sure enough, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm.

Some people raised their hands and said, "The shadow puppet show we played a few years ago, I still keep the box and tools, I will report one to my mother-in-law." ”

"I'm going to report one too, I'll walk on stilts and play with lanterns. ”

"My grandmother and my mother sing well, the water sleeves are so beautiful, I want to give my grandmother a opera. ”

Tao Hai waved his hands again, everyone discussed enthusiastically for a while, and then his voice was quieter, and he heard Tao Hai say, "Don't worry, let's send our family members over first, get the money to buy the mountain, and then go home to discuss and think about it, what wonderful programs to perform, and then come to sign up for registration." Tomorrow morning, we will hold the Spring Children's Audition Competition, and the next afternoon we will filter and screen the programs that everyone has reported, and if it is decided, we will have to rehearse it well. ”

As soon as the village chief's words fell, the crowd buzzed again, and at this time, someone asked, "Village chief, the town asked us to run a social drama, if we do it well, do we have a salary?"

It was the butcher of the village who asked this, and as soon as he spoke, he was immediately despised by the people next to him, "What a great honor it is for our village to participate in the social drama, you just go to the eyes of money?"

"I also think Hu Dahai is right, now the big guys are very busy, they have wages, it's not bad to play and do it, if you do it for nothing, who wants to, it's better to dry the grain at home." ”

Tao Hai's mother-in-law, Gu Shi, saw that the scene was a little chaotic, so she suddenly used a spatula to beat it vigorously on a leather gong.

"Are you the village head, or are our family village heads, and the words are not finished, what are you talking about?" As soon as Gu Tigress came out, the scene was immediately quiet.

Tao Hai took a puff of cigarette, spit out two circles, and knocked down the cigarette pouch, and when others stretched their necks, he said unhurriedly, "There must be wages, but after the eyes of the mayor of Shangguan, the program personnel who have been set down have wages, and those who are eliminated have no wages." ”

"Village chief, since you have said that you have a salary, let's talk about it, how much do you pay a day?"

"As long as the idea and program are good, after the mayor's eyes, I will first send 500 yuan, and then I will rehearse at home, and I will get my own tools and materials. When it comes to the performance, according to the capitation, 500 wen per person, as well as a meal and snacks, if the performance is good at that time, the county master will reward it, and the money will be calculated separately, and everyone will share it equally. ”

Many people who want to sign up are counting their accounts with their fingers in front of each other.

Usually doing work outside, the daily salary is up to 50 yuan, and the time is difficult for a long time is only 100 yuan, and it takes ten days to earn a tael of silver.

Now I can earn a silver or two when I go twice, and I can still be famous and show my face, which is very good, and many people are moved.

Some people even think that if the show they perform is praised by the county order, then the reward will still be uproaring.

"It seems to be good, as long as the show is over, one or two will be properly obtained, our family's shadow puppet show is to be captured, properly passed, where can I practice, when the work of the crops in the field is also done, the money is also taken, and it is also in the limelight, it is worth it." There is no need to go home to discuss, our family will report. One of the middle-aged men with rough skin and dark skin raised his hand and said.

Tao Li on the side hurriedly dipped the brush with ink, wrote it down in the booklet, and read it aloud, "The first to sign up is He Jiamin and his wife, shadow puppet play, that, what is the performance, there must be a repertoire, right?"

He Jiamin laughed, "I haven't played that thing for many years, and I won't remember it for a while, so you leave me a seat anyway, I'll go home and rummage things first, and then practice twice, and tell you the name of the song at night." ”

The corners of Tao Li's mouth straightened, these people, as soon as they heard that there was silver, their eyes were green, and they jumped up without picking up anything.

Zeng Anxin's heart moved, thinking of what the village chief said just now, Xingchun is daytime, and social drama is night, so there is no conflict, and now the family is short of money, and it is a little bit to earn a little.

She quickly squeezed to Zeng Aijun's side, pulled his sleeve, and the brother and sister chirped and discussed, and finally Shang Aijun stood up, raised his arm and said, "Our Zeng family newspaper has three programs, one is dancing, one is magic, and the other is singing mountain songs." ”

Zeng Gao was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of his younger siblings' move, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, his personality has always been introverted, but if it is about expertise, it is not nothing, so do you want to report one and earn some money for the family?

But he couldn't let go of that face, and when he was hesitating, he heard Village Chief Tao speak again, "During the Spring Festival, you need to have young strength to carry the spring cattle, there is a quota in our village, and I won't specify anyone." Because this spring ox is very heavy, and when the time comes, we have to carry the spring ox around the entire county twice, the road is relatively long, and the physical strength needs to be consumed, so I specially prepared a large stone stack in the courtyard. This stone lump weighs twice as much as the spring ox, and as long as anyone can hold it for more than half an hour, the quota will belong to whoever it is. ”

Zeng Gaoda's originally hesitant brows were loosened suddenly, and then his eyes lit up, this place was like it was tailor-made for him. Although he can't perform shows to make money for his family, he can work as a laborer.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Tao Hai said about the salary, "Because it is particularly difficult to carry the spring cattle, and it takes a lot of strength to shout with the trumpet while carrying it, so the salary is relatively high, in addition to five taels of silver, each person can also get ten catties of pork, a pair of good cotton shoes, and three meals in the town's Shangguanjia restaurant." ”

"Wow!" Suddenly, the people below were like the water in the pot boiling, and the voices suddenly became louder, and there were many crop uncles, who were proud of their own strength, and they all wanted to try it.

Tao Hai reiterated again, the next process, you can get money and sign up at any time, tomorrow morning is the Spring Children's Audition Competition, you don't have to register, just come to the scene to compete; tomorrow afternoon is the young and strong competition of the spring cow; the evening is the program screening meeting.

Then we can adjourn. The crowd slowly dispersed, but the enthusiasm on everyone's faces did not dissipate.

Naturally, every family was in a state of excitement this night.

Zhang Heihu was a little depressed, he didn't seem to have anything he could get his hands on, otherwise he would be able to help his aunt's family.

Singing mountain songs, he saw with his own eyes that Zeng Anxin won the first place, but who will perform magic and dance?

Zeng Aijun flipped his palm, grabbed a cucumber out of the air, and when he handed it to Zhang Heihu, he was still dumbfounded, "This, how did you do this?"

Second Brother Zeng overdid it, and suddenly found that his sex should not be so public, in order to avoid Zhang Heihu becoming suspicious, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be obedient and said, "A senior brother in the medicine hall taught it, it is called magic, in fact, this cucumber was originally hidden in my sleeve, but it was just a trick to remove it." ”

Zhang Heihu nodded suddenly in understanding.

Only Zeng Anxin knew that the second brother was picked directly at Youran Farm, okay?

Yu Xiaoli hurriedly pulled Anxin aside, "Anxin, just now your second brother said that your family is going to report three programs, what are you going to dance that dance?

Zeng Anxin tried his best to think about it, and he didn't think of what she had learned the year before last, but he didn't mention it, just smiled, "Sister Xiaoli, it's not that, don't ask first, this dance still needs your help." ”

Yu Xiaoli pointed to her face in disbelief and said, "I, I can't rest assured, where can I dance." ”

"I said you can, you can. I asked you, I asked you to do a segment, you take the hat to the pond to watch the fish play in the water, will you?"

Yu Xiaoli thought for a while, blinked and said, "Then what's not going to happen, I often do this, you don't just want to perform this, can you get by?"

Zeng Anxin immediately patted his chest and said, "You just put a hundred hearts, I naturally have a way." ”

Zeng Anxin was a host in her previous life, so she was naturally not bad in terms of talent, and she wanted to perform a dance that was very in line with the current environment, which was the spring night and rain.

has the most movements, and the most important thing is the two people who lead the dance, that is, her and Yu Xiaoli, and a group of background boards.

The backdrop is easy, and little boys and girls can be five or six years old, because they just need to sit in place, play some spring plants, and change their movements occasionally.

She pointed with her two index fingers, kept thinking about it, and now as long as she persuaded the people in the village to borrow the sons and daughters of each family, each person only had two or three movements, squatting in place and not moving, and after a short period of effort, she could get ten copper coins, who wouldn't want to?

Yu Xiaoli listened to her explanation, and it seemed that it could work, so she was relieved.

Zeng Anxin and Yu Xiaoli went home hand in hand, and told them about the idea they had just discussed, and everyone naturally agreed very much.

When Mrs. Zhang was young, she was also a person who liked to be lively, so she quickly asked, what kind of clothes do you need for dancing, and do you want to buy cloth to make them?

Zeng Anxin hurriedly shook her hand, where could she let her grandmother work hard for her own affairs, so she said, "The clothes are very simple, as long as they are red and green, anyway, the front and back rows, all of them are holding lotus leaves or branches as background boards, Sister Xiaoli and I, one wears green clothes and a red belt, one wears a red dress and a green belt, bare feet, wears a hat, and nothing else."
