Chapter 4356 Excerpts from the Opera
“I’ve been talking to Fengtang and Brother Zuo, and we’re all looking forward to inviting you, the old lady, to come over as a guest and just take a walk.”
“This year you finally get the chance. It's coming, we don't know How happy I am, there is no need to be tired, there is not much farm work to do in this new year, it is just cooking meals, entertaining guests and watching movies, everyone is happy!"
Yang Ruoqing's words, The old lady smiled happily and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I will continue to bother you here!" she said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled so hard that her eyebrows curled up: "Okay, very good, I can't wait for it!"
When Mrs. Zuo drank the soothing tea, Yang Ruoqing took the empty bowl and said to the old lady: "You "Lie down for a while, the afternoon show will not start until an hour and a half later. I will wake you up after an hour."
Mrs. Zuo nodded.
As people get older, they tend to lose energy, especially in the afternoon when they feel sleepy.
If you don’t take a nap at noon, you won’t have the energy to watch theater in the afternoon and night.
And when she was in Zuojiazhuang, Mrs. Zuo also had this kind of living habit. After many years, once the habit is formed, it is difficult to change.
Leaving the two maids brought by Mrs. Zuo from Zuojiazhuang to serve in the house, Yang Ruoqing returned to her house and took a nap.
The guests need to recharge their batteries, and she, the one accompanying them, needs to recharge their batteries even more. Don’t expect Mrs. Zuo to be in high spirits after watching a play, and it would be bad if she stays by the side and yawns all day long!
It’s just that she was the only one on this huge bed, under the empty quilt, and it seemed particularly empty, boring and cold.
I can only hug myself tightly, curl up my body, and step on a soup woman under my feet.
At this time, it was her time alone. In her own time and space, she could put down all pretense, release herself to her heart's content, and miss Luo Fengtang.
I missed his warm embrace, his strong arms, and the intimate feeling of him holding her tightly in his arms...
Thinking about it, I fell asleep without realizing it. , in the dream, she dreamed of him, and spent a short period of happy time...
In the afternoon, the sun turned west, and the sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums were heard from the stage at the entrance of the village.
Although spring has already arrived on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the late-spring chill is still raging across the earth.
Normally, everyone would probably stay at home and warm themselves by the fire.
But when the theater troupe entered the village, the enthusiasm for watching the theater burned up, and everyone no longer felt cold.
Carrying small stools and long benches, people gathered in small groups, calling friends, and flocked to the stage at the entrance of the village from all directions.
Children as old as Luo Baobao and others are keen to get under the stage or behind the stage to watch the actors put on makeup and change costumes, and they watch with relish.
Although they were chased away by the class leader after a while, and they ran away laughing when they were kicked out, but after a while these little guys gathered together again, you were pushing me, laughing and joking, it was so lively.
"Old madam, please take this hand muff."
Behind the Eight Immortals table, Yang Ruoqing put her rabbit fur hand muff into Mrs. Zuo's hand.
Mrs. Zuo raised her head and smiled at Yang Ruoqing, and said: "I'm sitting in the heating bucket. It's not cold at all, it's still a little warm. You don't need this, just take it!" ”
The hand cover returned to Yang Ruoqing’s hand.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Sun and Wang Cuilian next to her, and wanted to give her hand to one of them.
Unexpectedly, both of them waved their hands. Sun said: "I have not been used to using those things for most of my life. When my hands are cold, I hold a bowl of tea and warm my hands while drinking."
Wang Cuilian was cracking melon seeds while Said: "My hands are busy catching melons I'm knocking, covering my hand will only delay the matter, Qing'er, you should warm your hands yourself!"
After giving in like this, Yang Ruoqing stuffed her hand into the warm handcuff and placed it next to her left hand. The old lady watched the play with her.
The opening chapter is an excerpt from a play, and today’s excerpt is very funny.
It's about a family who has a daughter. The uncle the daughter marries is not very bright and is a bit stupid.
My daughter took this silly man of hers back to her parents' house. Before dinner, she privately told this silly man not to be so bored like a pig guarding his food when he ate with other guests later. When the boy was eating, she tied a rope to his feet, and she sat by the door and pretended to shell beans.
When the time comes, she tugs on the rope under his feet, and he will pick up a bite of the vegetable to eat. If she doesn’t tug, don’t pick it up. Just laugh when others talk to you.
The couple made a good appointment, and then the wine and food were served on the table, and the guests from the father-in-law's family also sat down one by one.
At first, the silly uncle and his daughter cooperated very well. The daughter quietly pulled the rope, and the uncle picked up a chopstick and ate the food. None of the guests at the table could tell that there was anything wrong with the silly uncle. Look, The rumors that he is stupid are false.
But in the middle of it, the woman went to talk to someone next to her, and two dogs came under the table.
The two dogs fought over the meat and bones and hit the rope that was holding the silly old man’s ankle.
This time was terrible. The silly old man raised his chopsticks and ate it all at once. Before he could chew it in his mouth, he picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.
In the end, my cheeks were almost bursting and I started to roll my eyes. Everyone at the table was shocked. My father-in-law coughed so hard that his throat was broken and he couldn't stand it.
Seeing this, bursts of laughter echoed around the stage.
Madam Zuo and Mrs. Sun were also full of laughter.
Old Madam Zuo said: "I heard this part of the story from a scholar before. Today is the first time I've seen it performed on the stage. It's really interesting!"
Yang Ruoqing Said: "This excerpt is just for fun. Let's warm up the scene first and then The atmosphere is aroused."
Mrs. Zuo said with a smile: "I also heard a little joke about the silly uncle."
At this moment, the excerpt on the stage has come to an end. , there will be a bowl of tea in the middle to prepare for the big drama below.
So, Yang Ruoqing asked Mrs. Zuo: "Madam, what kind of joke is that? Do you want to listen to it?"
"Do you really want to listen?" asked Mrs. Zuo.
Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly.
Sun and Wang Cuilian also looked at Mrs. Zuo expectantly, obviously wanting to hear it.
As everyone expected, Madam Zuo smiled and said: "By the way, my wife has given birth to a baby, so I sent this silly uncle to my mother-in-law's house to announce the good news."
The silly old man arrived at his mother-in-law's house and announced the good news. The mother-in-law brought out a basket of eggs and two kilograms of noodles, and told the silly old man: "Take the eggs and noodles back and cook them for my daughter. You must remember to wait. When the water bubbles vigorously, you can add the noodles and beat the eggs."
" The mother-in-law gave her instructions carefully, and the silly uncle also patted his chest. He showed that he understood, so he went home."
"When I crossed the creek halfway, I saw the gurgling sound of the stream, and the silly uncle remembered what his mother-in-law said. I immediately threw the noodles in, then cracked five eggs in one breath, got up and ran home..."
