071 [Letter] Asking for tickets
"Yan Ge, hello!
I have received your letter, and I am glad that you can write to me, and I am glad that you have made a few good friends over there, so that you can avoid the boredom of studying alone in Beijing.
I also received the tapes you sent, every song is very good, the noise is indeed gone, every night I will listen to the tapes you sent me to sleep peacefully, especially the original scenery of the hometown, I like it very much, it reminds me of some interesting things when I was a child.
I heard you say that you went to military training in September? The days of military training should be hard, right?
I still remember that when I first joined the art troupe, I also went down to the grassroots troops to give condolence performances, and the soldiers there worked hard every day......
Do you remember the last time you mentioned to me that the art troupe was going to be disbanded? Recently, there has been a little rumor that our art troupe is about to be disbanded, and I ran to ask Captain Zhuang Jing, and she said that she didn't know either.
I've been working here since I was 18 years old, and I don't know how I'm going to deal with it if the troupe really disbands, maybe you're right, since you love dance, you should go to a bigger stage.
By the way, the training course you ran has been very good recently, I chatted with Grandpa Li two days ago, and he said that the training course has now been expanded, and there may be more retired employees of the art troupe to become training teachers in the future.
Well, that's pretty much it, and finally I hope that you will study hard in Beijing, and in the future, you will be able to buy your album in the video store and hear your songs on a bigger stage.
Best regards!
Cheng Shaojun, letter dated October 13, 1986. ”
The art troupe is about to disband?
After reading the letter, Li Yange really didn't expect that he would be disbanded so soon, and there would be rumors within the Rongcheng Art Troupe that they would be disbanded, so it seems that it should be officially disbanded next year.
In fact, whether the art troupe is disbanded or not, it naturally doesn't matter to Li Yange, but you must know that although Cheng Shaojun's fate has changed in August, she is still a very sensitive person, and now she can have the idea of developing on a bigger stage, which makes him very happy.
Looking at the beautiful pen words again, Li Yange paused, took out a piece of letter paper from the drawer, took out the newly bought fountain pen, and wrote down all the recent events in a free manner.
Whether it was forming a band or performing in a dance hall, he wrote everything in the letter, and also encouraged Cheng Shaojun to come to Beijing to realize her dream since childhood.
After a while, he blew on the still dry handwriting, folded the letterhead, found a letter bag, put the paper in it, stuffed it into his arms, and prepared to mail it back to the campus mail office later.
"Yan Ge, what are you doing?"
The door to the dormitory behind him was pushed open, and Shek walked in.
Li Yange turned around and said, "It's nothing, why did you come back?" Didn't you say to ask Chen Shuya? ”
"Yes." Xue Ke stopped talking, and sighed heavily.
"Why sigh?"
"It's nothing, it's... I promised Chen Shuya to let her into our band. ”
"Isn't that right...... Yes? You promised? ”
Li Yange thought he had misheard, and stared at Xue Ke in astonishment.
"Well, I promised her. Hey, don't worry, listen to what I'm talking about. ”
"You say."
Xue Ke paused, sighed again and said: "Just now I went downstairs to the girls' dormitory to find her, and asked her if she wanted to join our band, she said yes, originally I wanted to tell her that our band has enough manpower, but who knows that before I could speak, she told her about her situation, I couldn't bear it for a while, so I said that you should try it for a few days." ”
"The situation? What's the situation? Li Yange roughly guessed something.
"It's Chen Shuya's family."
Then Xue Ke said little by little.
Chen Shuya's family conditions are very poor, it is really poor, if Liu Wen and Tian Zhennan are poor in the family, but they can barely afford them to come to Beijing to study, but Chen Shuya's family is different.
Her father died early, and there was only one mother in the family, and in order to treat her father, their family already owed a lot of money.
But later, Chen's mother insisted on letting her daughter study, and she worked hard to make money to pay off her debts.
Although there is no tuition fee for studying at the university now, there is still a lot to pay for tuition and miscellaneous fees, books, etc., and this money, including the money to buy train tickets, is borrowed by Chen's mother from relatives and friends.
Every month, the state gives Chen Shuya a living allowance of 18.5 yuan, as well as a poverty subsidy of 2 yuan, 20 yuan per month, she has to send back 15 yuan to repay the debt, according to Chen Shuya, their family still owes about 3,000 yuan in foreign debts, such a large amount of money, it is difficult to repay it by Chen's mother alone.
So when Chen Shuya heard Fang Yuanchao say that they earned 20 yuan when they went out to perform, her mind immediately became active, thinking about whether she could join the band so that she could earn some money to subsidize her family to pay off her debts.
After hearing this, Li Yange frowned, she had been in college for four years, and Chen Shuya had never mentioned the situation in her family, but everyone saw that she was very simple in food and clothing on weekdays, and she also knew that her family background was not very good.
But this situation is very common today, Li Yange's peers, almost all of them have brothers and sisters in the family, and they are rarely an only child like him, and when there are more children in the family, they will be much simpler in terms of eating, drinking, and wearing, which also leads to many college students being very frugal on weekdays.
It's not like later generations who often have dinners and class reunions, and it's good to spend a few cents to watch a movie.
But what she never imagined was that Chen Shuya not only had poor family conditions, but also owed so many debts outside because of her father's illness.
What is the concept of 3,000 dollars now?
This is equivalent to a monthly salary of 100 yuan for employees of state-owned enterprises, and it takes three years to pay it back without eating or drinking.
Li Yange didn't know what Chen Shuya's mother did, but she was definitely not an employee of a state-owned enterprise, otherwise even if she owed 3,000 yuan, as long as she worked hard for a few more years, she would still be able to pay it back, so that she wouldn't even need to find someone to borrow the money for her daughter to buy a train ticket to Beijing.
"Tell me, how could I not agree to this situation?"
Xue Ke is a native of Beijing, and the conditions at home are not the best, but his father, mother, grandparents and grandparents are not employees of state-owned enterprises, or they have the establishment of a certain public institution, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing at all.
"Well, you're right, but we don't need that many people in our band." Li Yange can understand Xue Ke's mentality at that time, and he also agrees, if he puts himself in Xue Ke's shoes and replaces him with him, he will also nod and agree.
Shek thought for a moment and said, "I also know that the band doesn't need so many people, but ...... In this way, my share will be given to Chen Shuya in the future, and you also know that the conditions at my home are not bad, not bad. ”
"There's no need, if Chen Shuya knew about this, I'm afraid she wouldn't agree, and I'm afraid the environment of the dance hall is not suitable for her."
Chen Shuya's character Li Yange barely knows a little, he is a person with strong self-esteem, and being able to confess to Xue Ke is probably the biggest concession, otherwise it is impossible to leak out of the four years of college.
"What then?" Don't look at Xue Ke who talks a lot on weekdays, and he is a squad leader again, so he has no idea at this time.
Li Yange: "Anyway, you don't have to go these days, you take her to rehearse and rehearse, I want to find a way first." ”
Xue Ke patted his chest and said, "This matter is what I should do, if there is anything that needs me, just say it!" ”
"You'll be needed soon."
"If you say something, you can help me!"
"Let me think about it."
Li Yange actually had an idea in his heart, but he didn't know if it would work.
