"Bang bang bang" I don't know when, the gong in the village shook the sky.

I went out to see the lively Wen Anhao, and after a while, he ran back in a hurry, and before anyone arrived, he shouted: "Good news, good news"

Hearing Wen Anhao's shout, Wen Anze stood up from the stool, still eating roasted sweet potatoes in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "What good news?" ”

After Wen Anhao, whose face was covered with sweat, came in, he said to everyone with a smile: "Just now the village notified that tomorrow, there will be an opera troupe performing in the open space above the river beach in front of the village. Also, now the people in the troupe are already coming one after another."

Wen looked at Wen Anhao, who was dancing and almost jumping, smiled and took out a handkerchief from the side, pulled his son over, and wiped his sweat for him with a smile.

Wen Anze on the side heard the news, and because he was too excited, he was choked by the sweet potato in his mouth and kept coughing. Wen Qing'an immediately handed him a glass of water, patted his son's back, and said with a smile: "Be careful, this news makes you so excited, how do you usually teach you?" ”

Wen Anhao waited for Wen to stop wiping his sweat, clenched his hands into fists, and said excitedly: "Daddy, can we go now?" May I? ”

Wen Qing'an turned his head to look at his two sons with an expectant face, nodded with a smile, but still reminded: "You must pay attention to safety, and you can't cause trouble to others."

The two brothers got permission and hurriedly stood up and walked outside. But Wen Anze, who was in front, hadn't walked a few steps, so he turned back, pointed at Wen An'an and asked, "What about my sister, can we take my sister there?"

Wen Anan smiled and opened her arms to Wen Anze, she really loved this big brother to death. Even she didn't expect Wen Anze to think of her at this time. Wen Anze must be an angel sent by God to save her from boredom, come on, come on, take her with you.

Hearing his sister babbling at them that he didn't understand, Wen Anhao also walked to his brother's side and said eagerly: "Look, my sister also wants to go back with us."

Wen Qing'an looked at Wen An'an, who was looking forward to it, and then looked at the two brothers who were in a hurry to get out, turned his head and said to Wen's: "Otherwise, you can go play with the children."

Wen looked at his son and daughter, and shrugged at Wen Qing'an regretfully: "When the sister-in-law of the family is coming, I can't take them there." However, you don't have anything to do at home anyway, you just take them."

After some discussion, in the end, Wen Qingan carried Wen Anan on his back and went out with his two sons. Along the way, you can see adults and children, greeting each other and walking towards the open space on the river beach.

Before you reach the clearing, you can hear the noise ahead, and the noise explodes above the riverbank. After getting closer, Wen Anan noticed that the open space, which was almost the size of half a football field, was now full.

When Wen Anze, Wen Anhao and a few children saw this situation, they didn't care about the adults around them, and ran towards the crowd in the open space with laughter.

In the middle of the clearing, a dozen sturdy men were building a simple stage out of wooden planks, the stage had taken shape, and a large pile of planks and ropes were placed next to it. At the back of the stage were three or four flatbed carriages, neatly stacked in a dozen large wooden boxes, some of which had now been opened to reveal the colorful costumes and props inside.

To the west of the carriage, near the river, a few people were talking and laughing in gray tents, and a few old men were lighting fires around the tents.

"Hurry up," a dark-skinned middle-aged man stepped out from behind the stage and shouted to the people who were laughing at the tent.

Hearing the man's reprimand, although several people smiled on the surface, they still slowly fiddled with the tent when they turned their heads.

The man looked at this situation and stopped talking, but just took a deep breath. Then he tightened his hand and walked towards Wen An'an. When approaching Wen Qing'an's side, the man stopped and smiled at Wen Qing'an: "I'm sorry for you, the stage is still being set up, and the play will start tomorrow."

Wen Qing'an saluted the man, and then returned with a smile: "In the following Qing'an, because the children are clamoring to come and see, they took the liberty to disturb and cause you trouble, please forgive me." But, who are you? ”

In ancient times, although opera was one of the main forms of entertainment for the aristocracy, it was called the lower ninth class, and it was a lowly job. The person who eats this bowl of rice is not as good as the minions of the high gate. Sometimes, even the general public rarely looks up to them.

Wen Anze is another salute and an honorific title, which made this man stunned. But after all, he experienced wind and rain, and he was only a little flustered at the beginning, and then immediately recovered his humility just now, and also learned Wen Qing'an's decent Shi Yili, and said: "The villain is not talented, he is the head of this troupe."

Before Wen Qing'an could say anything, someone patted him on the shoulder, and then he remembered a hearty voice in his ears: "Qing'an, why are you here too?" ”

Just that palm, Wen Qing'an didn't need to look at it to know who Lu Dao was. Touching his shoulder, he turned his head helplessly and said, "Brother Lin, if your hand is a little heavier, the younger brother's shoulder is estimated to be wasted."

Lin Shaoyu smiled and touched his head and said: "Where, where, big brother, my palm power is still far behind, you haven't seen those who practice martial arts, people are really powerful." Like you, tsk, it's not enough for people to warm up."

Lin Shaoyu smashed his mouth as he spoke, looking at Wen Qing'an's body with disgust.

Wen Qing'an was so disgusted by Lin Shaoyu, and he was also laughed at angrily. I just praised him. Don't look at this Brother Lin's usual appearance as an honest farmer, if you really just look at his appearance, you can really be deceived. But in fact, this man's stomach has no fewer twists and turns than his own. No, a few words of dominance ran to him.

Lin Shaoyu joked with Wen Qing'an, turned his head and seriously introduced to the class master on the side: "Qiao class master, this Mr. Wen is the only one in this town, and he is now the master of our village."

Hearing that Wen Qing'an was a lifter, it was not only Master Qiao who was surprised, but also Wen An'an's daughter.

Lift people? Although she is not very familiar with the examination system of this dynasty, in her impression of the ancient times of her previous life, the title of lifting people means that not only do you not have to pay taxes, but also have the opportunity to get an official and a half-job.

Qiao Banzhu's surprise was not easy for Wen An'an at this time, he took the troupe to the north and south of the river, and saw a lot of the world, but he had only heard of someone climbing up for power and money, and he had never seen someone who was willing to be a teacher in a village without asking about his identity obtained by putting ten years of cold windows.

Watching Master Qiao's eyes change from admiration to looking at a fool, because it was not the first time he had seen it, Wen Qing'an didn't care much, just smiled indifferently: "Master Qiao doesn't need to be surprised, there are more things in this world than I have seen below, compared to those prosperous and vain, I prefer this kind of peaceful days of green vegetables and cabbage."

There is no sadness and no joy, but it reminds Master Qiao of the pickled things he has seen in the Gaomen Mansion, yes, how many people can want to escape the cage of luxury, but how many people are willing to leave behind the temptation that eats people's hearts.

The atmosphere was a little heavy because of what a few people said. Wen Qing'an didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, so he turned his head and observed in the open space for a while, and suddenly wondered: "Are those children also from this troupe?"

Hearing the mention of his own drama troupe, the head of the Qiao class followed Wen Qing'an's eyes and looked at the children who were busy going back and forth in the clearing: "Yes, these are the ones we brought, is there any problem?"

Wen Anan also followed Father Wen's words and looked at the children, almost the same age as Wen Anze and Wen Anhao, seven or eight years old, carrying knives, guns and props back and forth in the open space, and there were a few children in his own village around him, there was nothing strange about it.

Wen Qing'an turned around, frowned at Lin Shaoyu and said, "It's cold now, adults can still stand sleeping outside." I'm afraid those children will suffer a lot of sins at night, and we don't see it, but we can't let it go."

After listening to Wen Qing'an's words, Lin Shaoyu also had a dignified face, completely losing his original straightforward appearance, but giving people a kind of majesty of a superior person. Looking at Lin Shaoyu like this, Wen Anan seemed to understand why this man could become the head of a village at a young age and be respected by the people in the village all the time.

Lin Shaoyu touched his chin and thought about it for a while: "How is it in the private school?" ”

Hearing Lin Shaoyu's words, Wen Qing'an thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's okay during the day, it's still too cold at night."

After saying this, both men fell silent. After a while, Lin Shaoyu looked at the children running and laughing in front of the stage, and suddenly smiled: "Since those little rabbit cubs have played together, I will tell the adults in the family to take the family to live for one night, if you don't want to, we are arranging to go to another house" They of course refer to the children in the troupe.

From the time when the two men around him discussed, Qiao Banzhu has been standing there with his head bowed, and at this moment, seeing that the two of them have finalized the matter, Qiao Banzhu can no longer hide his inner emotions, walks in front of the two, bows deeply, and says in a choked voice: "No one has ever treated us as human beings like this."

It's just a few words, but it keeps knocking on the souls of Wen An'an and several people. They didn't know what the expression of the man with his humble head bowed was, nor did they know what pale words he should use to comfort this man. Even the blood and tears contained in those words, they didn't know what to say.

The reason why people are human beings is that even if they have abandoned their dignity and humble life, they can lick the taste that is integrated into their bones and blood, which is called 'dignity'.

On this day, Wen Anan understood from this beginning, her crossing, not only a happy family, but also a loved one, but also involved in this.

Tu: Happy New Year's Day, everyone!! O(∩_∩)O
