Chapter 50 52 Brush the Book
As for the fundraising activities to invite the opera troupe to sing, it is in full swing, but the fourth aunt is very unhappy to find her father and say, third brother, can I discuss something with you?
What's the matter?
The fourth aunt said that this time we invited the opera troupe to sing, can we not invite people from our village, I heard that there are still a few villages with a lot of opera troupes, so don't invite that, why is this?
Father asked suspiciously, this troupe is from your mother's village, if the troupe from your mother's village can come to us to sing, then your face will also feel very bright, hearing this, the fourth aunt pouted and kept shaking her head and said, It's because it's our mother's house, so I don't want to invite them, third brother, you don't want to think about it, if they really come to sing, according to the previous rules, I have to buy them some gifts, and I have to set off fireworks, I have to cook for them, invite these people in the troupe to come to the house, and I have to send them some tea in the past few days of singing, after this scene is sung, my money is also spent, and people may also be tossed to death, it really makes people feel scared when they think about it, the fourth aunt shook her head while talking, her face was full of resistance, so I said, third brother, I have to come to beg you, I will not open my mouth to beg others, you must help me in this matter, Don't invite this troupe to sing here, hearing what the fourth aunt said, my father suddenly cried and laughed and said, if the younger brother and sister actually want to invite a troupe to sing, it has not been decided at all, the fourth aunt said, but the third brother, you are now the village head, do you dare not listen to who you say?
Father waved his hand and said, but he can't say this, this singing is a major event in our village, all the people have already got the money, and when the time comes, we still need to discuss with these old people in the village which troupe to invite to come over and sing, hearing this, the fourth aunt stood up and said, I won't say much else about the third brother, I will say this in front today, if anyone says that they want to invite my mother's troupe, you must help me refuse, this matter will be wrapped up in you, After saying this, he walked out and left his father's house without looking back, and when his mother and the girl came from behind, they happened to see the back of him leaving, and what happened to his younger siblings?
The mother asked, so the father repeated what he had just said, and the girl and the mother looked at each other, and then laughed and said, Why is the fourth aunt always so funny?
Mother shook her head and said, I remember the last time my son was admitted to Tanhua, I invited people in our village to watch the play, and at that time I invited the drama troupe of your fourth aunt's mother's family, and the daughter-in-law in our village is not only your fourth aunt who married here from that village, but also two other families in our villageAt that time, there was a quarrel because of this matter, saying that your fourth uncle was a swollen face and a fat man, hearing her mother say this, the girl seemed to think of something, Dad, this time we don't want to invite this troupe, so that the two of them have to quarrel again, change a troupe and listen to it so that it can have a little freshness, and my father said That girl, do you have any favorite troupe in your heart?
When everyone wants to discuss, I can put forward an opinion, the girl thought for a while and said, I heard that the opera troupe in another village is also quite good, and every time it is the New Year, they also go to sing operas from all over the country, these villages are all villages near the foot of the mountain, and the popular operas of this generation generally come from the tunes hummed by these farmers when they work in the mountains, and later after some improvements, the script written has become a popular opera in this neighborhood. If you want to invite them to sing, because it's the Chinese New Year, it's best to choose some more festive programs to listen to, don't choose those scenes that are always crying and making trouble, my father nodded and said That's okay, I'll discuss all these words with these people in the village, it should be about the same, the girl laughed, although her father has been perfunctory with the fourth aunt that no matter which troupe you invite, you still need the people in the village to make a decision, in fact, these people in the village are not stupid, Of course, who gets more money for these things is up to whom, and the girl and the boy took more than half of the money, these things that want to sing the opera, but it affects everyone's minds, the father and several old people in the village discussed and decided on the troupe, and the father went directly to the village to talk about this matter, and the day of singing has been finalized, so the big guy is looking forward to finally coming to the morning before the singing, My father took these men in the village to set up a stage under the big tree, and after the stage was built, the weather suddenly became cloudy, and there were gusts of wind, and singing was a big event that caused a sensation in the whole village, these women and children had already come here to watch the excitement, and these people in the troupe took a lot of boxes, which contained all kinds of props and costumes needed by the actors, these things made people look really interested, and everyone ignored the cold weather. Standing outside and talking and pointing, this thing is like lighting a fire outside, but at night, although the wind is lighter, the sky keeps falling rain, which is simply pouring a basin of cold water directly on everyone's fiery hearts, especially those children are simply disappointed, because this stage was originally built outside, and now that it rains, there is no way to continue singing?
Xiaocao, do you say it will rain tomorrow?
Xiaoqing said, in fact, I don't know if it will rain or not, it should stop this rain, but before I asked these girls in the village, they all said this, mother, do I want to go to the play?
I don't want it to rain, my cousin hugged the neck of the fifth aunt and kept being coquettish there, and the fifth aunt cried and laughed and said, Okay, the weather will be clear after you eat these meals, and we can go out to watch the play tomorrow, is that really the case?
Of course it's true, then I'll eat now, and similar to these conversations have already been staged in many houses in the village, the girl washed up and returned to the room, the boy was standing next to the small cradle, and kept gently shaking the cradle, and the other hand was holding a book and reading, the girl took out a bottle from the dresser, opened the lid and adjusted something and slapped it on the face, and the fragrance began to slowly diffuse throughout the room, wafting to the boy's nose, He put down the book he was holding, looked up at the girl, has it been washed?
The girl turned her head to him and said, I have washed it, you go quickly, the water has been changed for you, the young man nodded and put the book in his hand aside and got up and walked into the bathroom, the girl came to the side of the cradle and glanced at Xiaoxiao's already asleep appearance, couldn't help but bend down and kiss him on the face, and helped her cover the quilt, and then returned to her bed, this tent is now a cradle to be raised, the basket is placed aside, as long as you reach out to touch, the girl is dressed and leans on the head of the bed, Pick up the book that the boy put aside, look at the rain outside the window and keep floating on the roof tiles made a slight sound, and compared to the impatient mood of other people now, the girl seems very calm, tomorrow can not sing can be sung the day after tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you postpone it for a few days, and you are not in a hurry to go to work, their pace of life can be slower so it feels very comfortable, early in the morning of the second day, after the mother made breakfast for the whole family, Deliberately took out the old man and the old woman's share and put it in the basket, girl, you and your cousin will give these meals to your grandfather and send them over, and then by the way, ask your grandmother if she wants to stew a bowl of custard for the child at noon, mother I know, I'll go see it later, the girl said, but now it's raining outside, you remember to wear a raincoat, okay, the girl agreed here, and then picked up the basket with her cousin and walked into the village, on the way the girl said to Sister Tang, Now Brother Xiaofeng's injuries are almost better, she hasn't been lying in bed all the time, she will take a certain amount of time to practice walking in the room every day, hearing this, Sister Tang's face showed a very happy smile, since this is the case, it would be great, if you always lie on the bed, it must be very uncomfortable, the girl nodded and said, After Brother Xiaofeng is completely well in a few days, it is estimated that he will start to handle the marriage of the two of you.
Hearing this, Sister Tang's face immediately turned red, what should I pay attention to?
