Chapter 522 I dare not watch Guanyin from now on
After two days of "intense" rehearsals, the performance was held as scheduled.
The village can be described as "empty of people". Under the propaganda and call of the village government, almost most people put down their farm work and came with their families to watch.
The village theater is crowded, with hundreds of people at least. If it hadn’t been expanded, it might not be able to accommodate it.
Although they are all farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, everyone is very orderly. The performance has not started yet, and they are chatting with each other with smiles.
"Yongwen, I heard that today's program has Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai? I don't know how the effect is. I still remember the effect of you and Pei Zhi working together very clearly."
As an important cultural event in the village, Shang Yongwen was certainly not absent, and he was also a member of the village theater. Listening to the sighs of the elders in the village beside him, he just smiled and said nothing.
The other party looked forward to it and asked: "When can I see you perform on stage again? You and Peizhi are the most talented people in the village. After you guys quit, the theater has been in a state of depression. , not that good.”
“Hey, I don’t like hearing this. Does it mean that I am not good at work?”
A voice pretending to be dissatisfied.
"Dean Ma."
Shang Yongwen greeted.
"Hey, Lao Ma, I didn't mean that, but Yongwen and Peizhi's performances back then were so outstanding that it's hard for anyone to surpass them."
Village Committee Ma Chunsheng, deputy director and director of the village theater, approached and said, "We can't always stay in the past. We have to be more tolerant to today's young people. I watched the rehearsal for this one and I won't let you down."
“Really?”
Ma Chunsheng smiled: “Can I still brag? Do you know how much effort I put into finding this person?”
“Then can we? That's all, let's wait and see."
"Just wait."
Ma Chunsheng looked at Shang Yongwen, "Yongwen, I haven't seen you for a long time."
< br>“The pond has been quite busy collecting shrimps recently.”
Shang Yongwen smiled implicitly.
Looking at this junior, Ma Chunsheng had mixed feelings in his heart.
Obviously a person with a great future has been delayed.
It's not that it's not good to stay in the countryside. The other party's shrimp pond farming is now doing very well, but this child should have a greater future.
“The village will plan to establish a cooperative next. By then, it will be convenient for everyone. You don’t need to be so busy anymore. You only need to raise the shrimp well. The village will be responsible for marketing and logistics.”
"Really, that would be great."
Ma Chunsheng smiled and said: "Everyone's life will get better and better."
Shang Yongwen nodded.
Ma Chunsheng looked at him.
"Pei Zhi is back, did you know?"
"I know."
"Have you met?"
Shang Yongwen shook his head: "I've been busy recently, so I haven't had time yet."
He almost looked at the two children. The grown-up Ma Chunsheng hesitated to speak, and finally patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "I don't know if I will have a chance in this life to watch you two perform together again."
Shang Yongwen He smiled and said: "It is already a world for young people now."
"Look at what you said, aren't you a young person yourself? How old are you?"
Shang Yongwen smiled and Silent.
"Yongwen, I think it's time for you to consider important matters in your life. There are three unfilial piety, the worst is not having children. If you can trust me, how many girls can I introduce to you?"
< br>"Dean Ma, thank you. But this matter depends on fate and cannot be forced."
"I think you just don't want to find it."
Being over thirty is indeed nothing in a big city, but in rural areas, it is quite an older man.
In rural areas, if you are single in your thirties, you will most likely be criticized. Even if Shang Yongwen has a good reputation in the village, it will not change the deep-rooted traditional concepts.
"Yongwen, it doesn't matter that you are strong now, but people always get injured and sick. You have seen a lot of this kind of thing everywhere you go to help people. Have you ever thought about it? , if you fall down one day, who will take care of you? This person still needs to find a companion."
Ma Chunsheng is sincere and thoughtful.
“Dean Ma, I know.”
Everyone else calls themselves Director Ma, but this child always calls himself Director Ma.
Ma Chunsheng sighed secretly, not knowing whether the other party listened to his words.
"Pei Zhi is coming."
Suddenly.
There was a buzz at the entrance of the theater.
Everyone rushed there spontaneously.
Ma Chunsheng turned around, with a hint of excitement on his face, "Pei Zhi is here, Yong Wen, let's go together."
"There are too many people, Dean Ma, you Go."
Ma Chunsheng hesitated, but finally did not force himself and walked towards the door alone, "Give way, everyone, give way"
The Lan family is with Zhang Zhishu. Get up.
Wu Guangjiang did not overstep his authority this time and gave up the C position.
Looking at the girl walking side by side with the village party secretary and enjoying the almost worshiping gazes of the villagers, she felt extremely proud both in her heart and on her expression.
Martial Saint also came, of course, this little brat didn’t bring Goudan with him anymore.
“Secretary Zhang.”
Ma Chunsheng squeezed over.
Secretary Zhang nodded, "Old Ma, how are you preparing?"
Ma Chunsheng smiled proudly, "Don't worry."
"That's good."
Same Zhang Zhishu said hello, and Ma Chunsheng looked at the grown-up woman.
Even he couldn't help but have a hint of awe in his eyes.
"Peizhi, long time no see."
Lan Peizhi smiled slightly.
“We haven’t seen each other for several years, but you are still as young as ever.”
She seemed to be more polite to the deputy director of the village committee than to Party Secretary Zhang.
"Haha, why are you young? You are already old. In a few years, I plan to retire."
"Old Ma, you can't give up your responsibilities so early. If you retire, who will be in charge of our theater?"
Zhishu Zhang joked.
A group of people chatted at the door for a while and then walked into the theater.
"Pei Zhi, you haven't been here for a long time, right?"
Zhishu Zhang asked.
The others walked on both sides of the two of them in tacit understanding.
Lan Peizhi nodded lightly.
Revisit the old place.
But things have already changed.
The theater is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. It is much more spacious than it was back then.
All eyes from all directions were focused on her, and there was a lot of discussion.
As the most successful person in the village, almost everyone in the village has heard her name, but that doesn't mean everyone has seen her.
Among them, many people still have memories of her that were only ten or twenty years ago.
“She is that girl from the Lan family? So beautiful? I almost can’t recognize her.”
“Who says it’s not? Tsk tsk, this temperament, I can’t believe it’s from our village "
"How could that guy Wu Guangjiang give birth to such an outstanding daughter?"
Amidst the buzzing, one person was particularly calm and did not peek at the reborn woman, An Ran. He sat in his seat and waited patiently for the performance to start.
“Brother Yongwen.”
Suddenly.
A shout rang out.
Wu Sheng had already touched the side.
“I knew you would definitely come.”
The boy had a proud expression as if he was predicting the future.
"Why don't you sit with your sister and the others?" Shang Yongwen asked,
"There are too many people, I feel uncomfortable."
Wu Sheng sat down next to him, "Brother Yongwen, my sister is going to visit you that day, but you are not at home."
"I am very busy during this period, so I will go back at night."
"Brother Yongwen, the market for shrimps is good this year, you should be able to make a lot of money, right?"
Wu Shengren asked in an impish tone.
Shang Yongwen smiled.
“I can only say it’s okay.”
Wu Sheng rolled his eyes.
"Why are you so polite? I won't ask for red envelopes from you. At most, I'll let you give me some shrimp."
"If you want to eat shrimp, come to my house and get it. I'll definitely take care of it. "
"Hehe, this is what you said, my sister used to love eating shrimps."
Shang Yongwen smiled and said nothing.
"I don't know if that guy can act. There are so many people, and if the acting fails, it will be an embarrassment to our family."
"That guy?"
< br>"Jiang Chen. My sister's friend, Brother Yongwen, you met a few days ago."
"He participated in the show?"
Shang Yongwen was surprised.
"Well. Lao Ma was just being polite, but he actually dared to agree."
Shang Yongwen had long been accustomed to this kid's character, but he still educated him: "How to speak Yes, are you polite? If your sister finds out, she will have to deal with you."
Wu Sheng curled his lips.
Shang Yongwen looked towards the stage.
"Brother Yongwen, was this the stage where you and my sister performed back then?"
"Well, it was just not so lively at that time."
"Brother Yongwen, why don't you talk to my sister sometime and act together again? My parents always said how good my sister was at acting when she was a child. I want to see it."
Wu Saint encouraged.
Shang Yongwen smiled and shook his head.
“Brother Yongwen.”
Wu Sheng grabbed his arm. This kid was not incapable of acting coquettishly.
“Don’t think about this matter.”
“Why?”
Wu Sheng looked puzzled.
"Your sister is not a child anymore, and neither am I. Even if I were willing, she wouldn't be willing."
"Who says she is not willing? I can do her job. ”
Shang Yongwen smiled dumbly.
"Then you are really looking for trouble."
Seeing that everyone had almost arrived, Zhang Zhishu walked onto the stage without saying too much nonsense. He simply said a few words and announced the start of the performance.
Of course there can’t be only one show.
In addition to the young people brought in temporarily, the village theater also has its own team, which is also responsible for weddings and funerals in the village.
It is naturally difficult to expect high artistic content, but everyone performed their best, and the villagers gave them face and gave them constant applause.
But Wu Sheng, this kid, lacked interest and sat on the chair, drowsy.
"The next program dedicated to everyone is Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, everyone is welcome."
Hearing this, Wu Sheng cheered up, sat up straight, and stared expectantly stage.
Shang Yongwen’s eyes were calm.
The best viewing position is Lan Peizhi, who is sitting with Party Secretary Zhang with an expressionless face.
Accompanied by a string of music.
A woman in ancient costume came out, it was Tian Xue.
Almost everyone is familiar with the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. Even though it was a one-man show at the beginning, Tian Xue was not nervous at all. With an excellent performance, he played a smart and beautiful man who can embroider and cut phoenixes. , and also likes the image of a talented woman who writes and reads.
Then the maid appeared and gave advice to the young lady who wanted to study in a school in another place.
Women disguise themselves as men.
Zhu Yingtai, played by Tian Xue, dressed up as a handsome young master, and her maid dressed as a book boy, successfully persuaded her parents, took her luggage, and embarked on a journey to study in a foreign school.
"It's too hot, let's take a rest."
After walking for a while, Zhu Yingtai rested in a small pavilion by the roadside. At this time, the male protagonist made his debut.
I saw another scholar and bookboy walking out from behind the curtain, holding a fan and wearing Qingzi clothes. If it wasn't Jiang Chen, who else could it be.
The corners of Lan Peizhi’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Holy shit, I can’t tell, this guy looks pretty cool in this outfit.”
Wu Sheng muttered.
Shang Yongwen next to him watched quietly.
"Is Xiongtai also going to the academy to study?"
"Is it possible that Xiongtai is also going to study?"
In the pavilion.
The two started chatting, exchanging names, and the conversation was very congenial. According to the development of the story, they became sworn brothers.
"Brother Liang is two years older than me. From now on, just call me brother Yingtai."
The two of them happily went on the road together.
The rehearsals in the past few days have indeed paid off. The two of them have a tacit understanding of each other. Not to mention flawless, at least it is much better than the previous show.
In addition, Tian Xue also paid great attention to the costume props. Tian Xue bought them online with his own money, so he easily attracted the villagers.
Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo successfully entered the school to study, and happened to be assigned to study at the same desk. They got along day and night, and naturally became the best friends.
"Pei Zhi, he is somewhat on the level of you and Yongwen back then."
Zhishu Zhang praised in admiration.
Lampei was silent.
"Brother Liang, I tend to move around a lot when sleeping, so I used a book box to separate our beds so that I wouldn't disturb Brother Liang's rest."
Because Zhu Yingtai was well prepared. , so even if they slept in the same room, Liang Shanbo didn't realize that the other party was a woman.
The plot is step-by-step, almost the same as before, except that the actors have been changed, which made some old people in the village, including Zhang Zhishu, feel a little bit in a trance.
"Yingtai was not born to a girl, so why are there ring marks on her ears?"
Until a certain class, the direction of the story deviated from what it was many years ago.
Have to admit it.
Tian Xue is indeed a meticulous and responsible person. Considering that she has pierced ears, she made minor and reasonable changes to the script.
"There is a reason for the earring mark, why did Brother Liang become suspicious."
Zhu Yingtai held the scroll in her hand and said calmly, "There are many temple fairs in the village to honor the gods, and I play the role of Guanyin every year."
She raised her head and glanced at Jiang Chen, "Brother Liang, you have to concentrate on your work. If you don't care about your future, you want to wear a hairpin skirt."
This look is indescribably wonderful.
Jiang Chen’s performance is also superb. It was probably at this time that he began to doubt Zhu Yingtai’s gender, but he was not sure. The conflicting psychology was accurately expressed in his facial expressions, which made The villagers can easily feel it.
“I dare not look at Guanyin from now on.”
A voice came from the stereo.
It was like Liang Shanbo’s thoughts at this moment as he stared at Zhu Yingtai.
The previous lines were all designed by Tian Xue, but this one was the only one added by Jiang Chen.
Everyone agreed that it was the perfect finishing touch.
"I just said this guy is an actor."
Wu Sheng muttered something.
Shang Yongwen, who had also performed the same story and the same character on this stage, looked dull, and his eyes reflected the stage lights, showing no sadness or joy.
