Chapter 110 (1/2)
Because he had an appointment with Yingqiao, Jiang Shu was full of expectations for tomorrow. That night, he went to bed early.
When she came home late, she felt guilty when she saw her sleeping brother: it seems that these days, day and night, are really exhausting.
I have to work during the day and go shopping with him at night. He's really taking people too close.
He reflected on himself a little and thought that he would have a day off tomorrow. After all, after a few days of observation, my younger brother seems very good, should not secretly contact with Yinglong.
……
The next morning, Jiang GUI got up in high spirits and was ready to go to work.
Because he was going to meet his boyfriend, he chose a casual suit that Ying Qiao once boasted, and then he took his younger brothers to go out with high spirits.
Seeing this, he leaned against the door of his bedroom and said, ”all the luggage has been purchased. Next Tuesday, the mission will arrive in Jiangcheng. In the last two or three days, you will have a good rest and keep your spirit. I'm going to a meeting tonight. I'll be back later. You go out to dinner by yourself. ”
“！！！”
Jiang Jiu's heart was cheering, but his face was silent. He nodded his head in an ordinary way: ”OK, what time do you come back? We can wait for you. ”
”It's hard to say. It's supposed to be nine at the earliest. You eat first, don't wait for me. ” He is not prepared for his simple brother.
Jiang Jiu nodded and went out to work calmly.
Wait until the unit, he was elated to should Qiao message, can't wait to tell him the good news!
[Fourth brother goes to a meeting in the evening! I didn't go home until nine o'clock!]
[would you like to have dinner together in the evening? I miss you
I'll come to see you after lunch break
Ying Qiao quickly returned the news: ”discuss where to go in the evening again.”
Jiang Shu is overjoyed. After setting a good time with Ying Qiao, he quickly finishes his breakfast and concentrates on his work.
……
At ten o'clock, director Cheng came to the office with a teacup and a large number of tickets in his hand: ”come on, let's get some tickets for each person. This is an activity to promote traditional culture in the south of my hometown. If you have time at the weekend, you can go and support it. If you have relatives who like it, you can go and have a look. It's not far from the south. ”
”What kind of activity?” Several people gathered together to get tickets.
Xue Meng looked at it and said, ”Yetai opera? It's been years, hasn't it? ”
Xiao Xiaoyu then said, ”yes, I remember when I was only a few years old, I only saw one or two wild stage dramas in my hometown in the countryside. It was very lively.”
”What is Yetai opera?” Jiang Shu looks curious. It should be fun to listen to their tone.
Even Zhang Tianxing turned his head to coagulate them, waiting for the answer.
Xue Meng was looked at by them, and he suddenly came up with strength and explained to them“ It was Yetai Opera Troupe. At that time, it was poor. There were many opera troupes running around in villages. They were called Yetai Opera Troupe. When I was in my hometown, I used to set up a temporary stage with a few rickshaws on New Year's day or when I wanted to sacrifice to the gods, and then invited a troupe to set up a stage to sing. ”
He seemed to think of something funny. He said with a smile: ”at that time, there was a lack of entertainment. There were Huangmei Opera, Huagu opera, Beijing Opera and Cantonese Opera from other places. There were lots of miscellaneous tunes. Adults and children would sing along. There is not so much attention paid to the troupe. When the troupe members go up to sing, some of us who can sing and are brave also move tables and set up platforms to sing the opposite drama. Whoever sings well will be cheered. At that time, there were a lot of people who played the opposite role. We called it ”playing the wild stage.”
”If you sing well, you'll be able to make a name for yourself in one show. If you're rich, you'll lose money. It's also an honor to talk about it. So later, the wild stage opera there became more and more lively. Every year, people from all over the country came to participate in it. Many people who wanted to make a big name on the wild stage came to take a good place with their bullock carts early and put on a good posture on both sides of the stage. When someone started, they would sing with their own voices. ”
”Are you so busy there?” Xiao Xiaoyu was surprised and said, ”I remember my family sitting at the bottom of the stage listening to the opera. There were popsicles and melon seeds sold everywhere under the stage.”
”We used to be famous actors. We all like to sing a few words when we have something to do.” Xue Meng's voice was aroused. He hummed a few lines of ”the son-in-law”, and said: ”you haven't seen that scene before. When someone opened his voice, the carts on the side of the road started to sing one after another. It's noisy at first, but in a few minutes, those half bucket of water will go away, and those left behind will have real kung fu. They don't dress up, and they don't have music. They only rely on good voice and real Kung Fu Qingchang. They are gentle in the bass, steep in the treble, and rush into the sky. Those who can listen will have a lot of moods and ears
It was the first time that Jiang Shu had ever heard of such a lively activity in the countryside when he lived in the Dragon Palace for a long time. He became more and more curious: ”is it the same with the Yetai opera in Nancheng?”
”I don't know.” Xue Meng scratched his head and threw the question to director Cheng with a smile: ”director, can you tell us about it?”
”You'll go and see for yourself. I've told you what else to see.” Director Cheng waved his hand: ”however, Nancheng has been vigorously developing its tourism industry in recent years and wants to develop its own characteristic tourism culture. This time, I guess I also want to try the water. I know the news that the stage is on the river, and there are night plays. This ticket is for the night play. ”
”And night play?” Xue Meng was even more surprised and hurriedly brazenly went to pick the tickets in director Cheng's hand: ”give me more tickets. My seven aunts and eight aunts all like to listen to plays. Take them with you
Director Cheng laughed and scolded. He gave him four more and refused to give them any more: ”go, I'll keep some of them myself.”
……
When director Cheng left, Xue Meng actively asked them to go to Nancheng together: ”it's only two hours' drive. Let's go there together, and we'll take care of them on the way. Go to the hotel on Saturday, stay one night, and return on Sunday. ”
Jiang Jiu was completely intrigued by Xue Meng's story. He thought that the fourth brother said that the mission would arrive on Tuesday, and there was still time at the weekend, so he agreed.
In the following time, while he was dealing with his work, he listened to Xue Meng's scattered talk about the Yetai opera that he had heard when he was a child. In a twinkling of an eye, a morning passed.
At the time of lunch break, he politely refuses Xue Meng's invitation to have lunch with him. After Jiang Jiu asks cool brother to help him take care of lion dragon and Jiaotu, he happily gets on Ying Qiao's car.
All in all, they haven't seen each other for a week.
Jiang Jiu's eyes are bright. He stares at Ying Qiao as if he can't see enough.
