slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 409 Spiritual Construction
The village needed entertainment soon, and Hu Shijie and Miao Zhengwei decided to invite the local theater troupe from the county to sing a big show for several days.

The old people in the village are very happy to sing a big opera, but the young people in the village start to curl their lips, because the young people don't like it.

Old people love drama and listen to music less, which is also a generation gap between the two generations. Old people are not used to the performance style of modern singers. In their opinion, these people seem to be ADHD-like, and young people don’t like listening to procrastination. La's opera, a word ah, I think it is a waste of traffic for a long time.

This is also normal, there will be a generation gap when there is an age gap.

Sijiaping had just contacted the theater troupe in the county and finalized the cost of the performance, and they came here with great enthusiasm, led by the troupe leader himself, two or three small light trucks and a small van, towed The next day, the actors and the actors came to Sijiaping Village and began to set up a stage to sing.

Young people don't like to listen to operas, but they are very interested in watching the show. At noon, they bask in the sun happily, in twos and threes, with either a cigarette or fruit in their hands, squatting in the theater Looking around the table with a smile.

Cang Hai was also quite curious. He was fine at home, so he walked down the slope alone, and went to the wheat drying field to see how they set up the stage.

"Second brother! Come here"

Seeing Cang Hai coming down, Wei Changhao patted his side and signaled Cang Hai to come and squat beside him.

Cang Hai walked over with a smile, and squatted down beside Wei Changhao.

"When is the second sister-in-law's due date?" Wei Changli asked curiously as soon as Cang Hai sat down.

Cang Hai said: "March is not yet!"

Wei Changhao thought for a while and said, "Didn't that just end the New Year?"

"Well, the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month." Cang Hai nodded and said.

"What about you two? I told you that a woman's temperament is much more important than her face. What's the use of being beautiful and not doing anything after marrying? Don't be too picky, you can almost take it out with you. It's enough to have a good temper," Cang Hai casually persuaded the two brothers.

Now that the income in Sijiaping Village has improved, each guy and girl seem to have a higher vision. Generally, the guys and girls outside seem to look down on them. The guy wants to find a pretty one for a blind date, and the little girl wants to find a handsome one. Well, there are now two couples in the village, and the rest are still picking.

Wei Changhao said: "Second brother, we didn't choose very much, it's just that the girls we introduced these days are really not suitable, and each of them has a lot of conditions. Dowry gifts are fine, the minimum amount is 28 yuan, and our family’s money is blown by the wind..."

Cang Hai had nothing to say after hearing this.

In this part of the county, a large number of girls feel that the most important thing for them to get married is the bride price. Others want 18, and my husband's family has to give 20, so that they will have face.

If you have demands on others, then ask her what will she do?
Now there are some girls who don’t know how to cook or wash clothes, and they don’t take the wine bottle upside down at home. When people ask her what she knows, she will be different, neither this nor that!
Originally, Cang Hai wanted to arrange a job for him, but later, when he arrived in Sijiaping Village, how much money would he get a month? The people of Sijiaping are old, and it is only natural that they share the dividends of Sijiaping.Do you want to give the bride price?no way!

So now many people don’t pay attention to the set of Sijiaping Village at all. Instead, they push up the price of bride price. Just like what Wei Changhao said, around 30 is standard for Sijiaping Village. I don't know who gave them confidence. It seems that the children in Sijiaping Village can't marry a daughter-in-law except their daughter.

At the same time, the children of Sijiaping Village have also changed. Now each adult in each family can earn an income of one hundred thousand yuan after working hard for a year. Naturally, their vision has also improved, and they have become more rigid when they go on blind dates, unlike before. Sitting in front of a woman honestly like the vegetables in the vegetable market, let others choose and dare not make a sound, now looking at all the high-spirited girls, nine out of ten she will go back.

A man with money is naturally tough!
"Hey!" Cang Hai sighed.

Wei Changsheng said: "At first I wanted to see if there were any young girls in the troupe, who knew that after watching it for a long time, the girls were all aunts in their forties, and none of them were young!"

"If you expect to see a young and beautiful girl in the small theater troupe in the county, you are delusional!" Cang Hai said with a smile.

The small troupe in the county sang local operas, and outside of the city, people in other places might not understand them, so where is the room for development?
It’s not a big drama genre, Beijing opera or something like that still has such a huge market across the country, how big is the living space for small local dramas?Not to mention small operas, but Beijing opera troupes, how many opera troupes can be successful in the market?

When the village decided to hire a theater troupe, Cang Hai doubted whether there was any theater troupe in the county.

Because it is not the same now. In the past, the theater troupe was supported by the county, and all of them served the jobs of the public. They sang model operas. When the operas were released, some people watched them and others watched them the same way.Then, once the system was restructured, the living space of the troupe suddenly changed, people's life and entertainment changed greatly, and televisions entered thousands of households.

The good times of the opera troupe are coming to an end. On the one hand, there are fewer people listening to the opera, and on the other hand, there are more ways for ordinary people to entertain themselves.

When the opera troupe heard that Sijiaping Village was going to book a big play for a few days, and the price they offered was quite good, they were very happy.No, as soon as the deposit arrived, the head of the team immediately led the team over, and it was a waste of a day in the original three-day show.

"Haiwazi, Haiwazi!"

Cang Hai raised his head and saw Hu Shijie waving at him, so he stood up and walked towards the old man.

Wei Changhao looked at Cang Hai's back and said enviously: "It would be great if I had the ability of the second brother!"

"It's useless to think about it, second brother's ability? You can't afford the apartment in the magic city of second brother in your life." Wei Changli said to Wei Changhao in a very rude tone.

"You, hurry up and find your in-law's family," Wei Changhao said.

At this time, the young couple Cang Jing and Lin Zhijing came over holding hands, Cang Jing squatted beside Wei Changli, and opened her mouth to ask, "Has Changli found her husband's family?"

"Nothing!"

"Brother Changsheng, what do they say about whether the husband's family is not the husband's family!" Cang Jing said.

"She didn't pay attention. By the way, how is your brother?" Wei Changsheng asked.

The whole village knew about Cang Hexing's blind date yesterday, and now that they saw Cang Jing, they naturally wanted to ask.

Cang Jing said: "Don't mention it, my brother has taken a fancy to him, but he didn't like him, and the matchmaker sent word that my brother is not the type he likes!"

"Pfft!" Wei Changli was reaching out to drink water from the small kettle next to her, when she heard the words and spouted it all at once.

"Brother Hexing's looks are still picked?" Wei Changli said.

Cang Jing twitched her lips: "I don't know how beautiful I think I am. Besides, it's not that I don't know this woman. She is a year older than me. When I was in the first year of high school, she was in the second year of high school. Changli, you may have one too." Impression, junior high school belongs to our third class... ".

Cang Jing was very upset that a girl looked down on her brother.For a younger sister, her brother can look down on others, but it's not a thing for others to look down on her brother!

In this regard, Cang Jing has always stood upright!
Cang Hai came to Hu Shijie's side, and after standing still, he asked Hu Shijie, "Grandpa Hu, what's the matter?"

Hu Shijie said: "How is your renovation project going? It's been several months. Is it over?"

Cang Hai smiled and said: "It's almost done. My plan has been passed on to the teacher, and he is now helping to fill in the gaps. It will be almost finished in another month, and everyone will take a look at the next meeting."

When he heard that Guan Qidong was helping to check the final check, Hu Shijie showed a smile on his face. Now the villagers have a certain understanding of the fields that Guan Qidong, Xu Sheng, and Qu Guowei, these professor-level people who came to the village, have set foot in. learn.Hearing about the renovation plan of his own village, Mr. Na was naturally happy in Qidong.

"Then when will the construction start, and will it start this year?" Hu Shijie asked.

Cang Hai shook his head: "Our village won't be able to move this year, but all the materials can be prepared, such as bluestone slabs can be purchased, and we can just lay them down in the spring of next year."

Hu Shijie hummed, and then said: "I just thought about setting up a stage in the village, and it will be easy to invite a troupe to come over, just go on stage and sing, there is no need to set up a stage like now."

"Yes, I have designed a small stage, and I am waiting for the plan to pass through everyone's hands. After agreeing, it will start to move in the spring of next year, and the performance will be performed on the new stage in about September."

Before Cang Hai finished speaking, he heard someone applaud from the people next to him. Turning his face away, Cang Hai found that the director of the theater troupe was standing next to him.

The head of the troupe is about sixty years old, and I don't know why he hasn't retired yet at this age.

"If we can come to your Sijiaping to sing for three or five days a month, the situation of our troupe will be improved a lot!" The troupe leader said with a smile.

Cang Hai couldn't help being happy when he heard it.

Hu Shijie said: "Singing operas a few days a month? Then we won't be able to do any work, we can listen to operas all day long!"

"Anyway, we have no objection!" The head laughed.

At the beginning of the contact, the head of the group quoted a high price in his opinion. Who would have thought that Sijiaping would pay back the price a little bit, so he agreed, not only agreeing to the performance fee, but also The troupe's board and lodging are included.

It’s quite normal for a show to include board and lodging. If there’s a wedding or a wedding, the food is pretty good, but the place to eat is a bit careless. A bunch of actors just eat like that. They don't even bring food on the side of the table, and when it comes to Baoxi or performances in market towns, there is no need to mention food.

It is too difficult for theatrical troupes to survive now, and they are no longer in the front-end public jobs. Now even the county troupes are no different from the performance troupes outside the Danbang.

A stage was set up on the side of the road, and a ticket seller stood at the door to start the performance. In such a living environment, except for those who had no choice, all the people with a little knowledge disappeared.

Here in Sijiaping, not only is the money paid well, but the food is also good. Just for this lunch meal, there are fish and meat, and the chicken, duck, sheep and cattle on the table are almost full. For weddings and weddings, the troupe has never had such a sumptuous performance meal.

For a while, the people in the troupe had a good impression of Sijiaping Village.Everyone in the troupe felt that it would be better if they stayed in Sijiaping.

After chatting for a while, the group leader went to watch the people set up the stage, leaving Cang Hai and Hu Shijie talking.

"After listening to the play, why don't you take the big guys to Suzhou and Hangzhou for two days?" Cang Hai said.

Hu Shijie said: "Me? I haven't left the city until now, you let me take this group of children to Suzhou and Hangzhou to play? I think you and Miao Zhengwei should lead the team."

The village has decided to invite a theater troupe, which is for the elderly, and the young people are planning to travel for four or five days. There is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou. The first stop of the group tour in Sijiaping Village Arrived at Suzhou and Hangzhou, which is famous all over the world.
