Six days have passed, and Shen Yun has not found anything abnormal in the scope of Chunwang County.

The troupe is finally invited, and all villages are setting up stages. Regardless of men, women and children, the village went into battle, and everywhere was full of laughter, which was more lively than the New Year.

Inviting drama is an old tradition in Chunwang County. When it comes to important days such as the Chinese New Year, the August Festival, the birthday of the Emperor's grandfather, the gods, or the Great Harvest Year, if there is some surplus food, several neighboring villages will often make an appointment to invite a stage to come over and take turns singing in each village. As for the specific number of days of singing, it depends on the surplus food of the villagers. At least one day, or at most three days or five days.

This time, the scale of the invitation is the largest in history. Except for Shenjiazhuang, all the surrounding villages joined in.

Because there were so many villages that invited the opera, the villagers had to agree: Each village was only allowed to invite one day of opera; each village sang from noon until the time of the lantern, a total of three plays; they also set up a specific repertoire with the troupe, and the requirement was that it should not be repeated within three days; after the last performance, the troupe immediately moved to the next village. Dinner on this day was taken care of by the next village. Then there is breakfast and lunch the next day (originally the villagers of Chunwang County used to eat two meals a day. Later, under the influence of Shenjiazhuang, the vast majority of people now have developed a new habit of three meals a day. After two years of bumper harvests, the villagers had saved surplus grain at home, and went to Shenjiazhuang to do odd jobs, and they could earn some active money, and their lives were more comfortable, so the hospitality troupe also had an extra meal).

As for how the landlord should entertain people from other villages, this is still according to the old tradition. According to the villagers, in the past, life was tight, and if they got one or two buckets of surplus grain, they would take it out and have a lively time with the surrounding villagers, not to mention, now that the family not only has surplus food, but also surplus money, and the days are getting more and more prosperous. That will certainly not be a disadvantage to the folks.

In addition, during the invitation period, how to distribute the manpower in the village, each village also has a mature mechanism. This year, the distribution and management of each village are the same as in the past, and there are also very big changes in many aspects.

Among them, the biggest change is that the women in the village also received errands for the first time in history. Some big girls and little daughters-in-law who are recognized as very capable have even become stewards, and even manage several middle-aged men under their hands.

This was unthinkable in the past. Because inviting a play is definitely a big event in the village, and women were not qualified to participate in this kind of big event before. A very small number of them were assigned errands, and only the village chief or the female dependents of the patriarch's family were assigned. Moreover, they are not allowed to show their heads, and the cat is boiling water, cooking and washing dishes in the kitchen the whole time.

But now, in the villages, it has quietly become a fact. And everybody thinks there's nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Because the villagers here are used to it.

Women, like men, can also go to Shenjiazhuang to do odd jobs. If she is a capable person and has been recognized by Shen Jiazhuang, then her salary is the same as that of a middle-aged man.

Especially after the opening of the women's literacy class, the women gradually became literate, and more and more of them could write and count.

There are more and more errands that they can do in Shenjiazhuang.

Sometimes, men can't get them. Because many of the big and small stewards in Shenjiazhuang who are responsible for sending errands are also women. They are more partial to women. And the women who were chosen were also very competitive, and every time they did their errands beautifully and neatly, no worse than the men.

After this kind of thing happened a lot, the men were also convinced, and they lost their temper completely.

Over time, from the village chief, the patriarch to the half-grown child, no one dared to underestimate the women in the village anymore.

And the women made money, bought some needles and threads, pulled up rulers and cloths, bought jewelry, and even raised children and daughters, and paid out of their own pockets. No more palms up, begging the men in the family. As a result, they are confident, their waists are straight, and they are gradually more involved in affairs at home and abroad. Unconsciously, even the most broken-mouthed and old-fashioned old woman in the village accepted that women go out to do things like men and make decisions like men.

This is how the atmosphere and tradition have changed subtly.

Shen Yun was very happy and very happy to see such a change. He often couldn't help but think in his heart, if his grandmother, mother, and ninth sister were still there, they could live like this, how good it would be.

Moreover, this is the normal way - heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and the Tao has a good way. Yin and yang, dry and kun, when has there been a distinction between dignity and inferiority, high and low? People are divided into men and women, and they should be the same. Just because women's physical strength is inherently inferior to that of men, women should not be beaten into the dust, wantonly bullied, squeezed, and exploited. This is the same as not because mortals are born without spiritual roots, and the resources and time required for cultivation are far greater than those of monks with spiritual roots (so far, a large number of practices have proved that it is a misjudgment to say that mortals are inferior to monks in cultivation. As long as you find the way to awaken your talent, mortals will practice, and monks with spiritual roots will not be allowed to practice), depriving mortals of their qualifications to practice, wanton bullying, oppression, and exploitation, it is exactly the same principle.

Two days before the invitation to the play, Qi Bo came over with a large stack of red posts to ask for instructions: "Brother Yun, this is an invitation from each village to our Zhuangzi, saying that thanks to the care of our Zhuangzi, we have had a bumper harvest one after another, and invite the people in our Zhuangzi to watch the play." The big guys also want to join in the fun. But if so many of us go, won't it cause a lot of trouble for the neighbors?"

Shen Yun said with a smile: "It's hard to be warm, and everyone has worked hard for so many years, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to be happy." To go is to definitely go. After thinking about it, he said, "The people in the door, whether they are elders or ordinary disciples, are not allowed to ask for leave to go out during the play. However, each person can go out and listen to the play for two days. To go or not to go, what are the specific two days, all up to voluntary registration. Your elders will be responsible for the overall arrangement. Anyway, there are so many days, so you must make sure that the number of people who go out every day to listen to the red is about the same. Also, during the period when the villagers invited the play, the patrol work of Zhuangzi and the surrounding areas should be grasped more tightly. With so many people gathered together, there must be no mistakes. ”

After listening to this, Qi Bo knew what to do, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go and make arrangements, and before tomorrow afternoon, I will come up with a specific arrangement table." ”

Shen Yun nodded and said with a smile: "The neighbor's house is doing good deeds, let's go and join in the fun, and it's not good to go empty-handed." You draw up a list and propose in my name to prepare the same gift for each village. Let the people who went to the theater that day bring it over. “

"Then are you going?" Qi Bo knew that he would not come forward, but since he met, I had heard him compare the things in the play, and felt that he was a person who liked to listen to the play, so he wanted to lobby again.

Shen Yun pointed to the stacks of pulse cases piled up on the table, as well as the account books, and said, "I owe so much work, where can I find time here?" Just have fun. ”

In fact, there was a more important reason why he didn't go - just a quarter of an hour before Qi Bo entered the door, Daoist Yunjing finally sent a message: he had found the traces of spies on Yuqian Island. I track it with Duanmu.

He has ordered the two of them to stare people to death, and once they find out that the island side of Yuqian Island has a connection with people or forces on this side of the mortal world, he will report it immediately. At that time, he will rush over as soon as possible and personally strangle all the conspiracies in the cradle.

Originally, he planned to cast a long line to catch big fish. However, after returning to Shenjiazhuang, he saw that there were still ten miles and eight towns in Zhuangzi happy, happy, and jubilant, from the old man with white head to the little child in Huangkou, all of whom were silent in the joy of the harvest, and he suddenly felt that it was not worth it from the bottom of his heart—why let those people destroy everyone's hard-won good life? In other words, are those scum worthy?

His new understanding now is: To deal with all the villains who try to destroy everyone's happy life with their own selfishness, they should stretch out their claws and chop them off, and never leave them to see the sun the next day!

"Yes. Ziber didn't expect to move him, smiled, and didn't say anything more.
