60s: I have a store

Chapter 213: Jinsha River
Lai Fang asked quietly, "Brother, can we eat peanuts and melon seeds?"

After saying this, the little girl looked at Zhou Yimin with pitiful eyes.

Zhou Xuqiang interrupted quickly: "Laifang, how can you ask your brother for food?"

After all, his family lived so well thanks to Zhou Yimin. If he continued to be greedy and made Zhou Yimin disgusted, it would be difficult for his family to stay in Zhoujiazhuang.

You know, the whole Zhoujiazhuang is getting better and better with the help of Zhou Yimin. The villagers should know that if Yimin dislikes someone, that person will definitely have a hard time in Zhoujiazhuang.

Zhou Yimin rolled his eyes and handed over a bag of peanuts and a bag of melon seeds: "Eat slowly, or there will be no more after you finish it."

"Uncle San, don't say that. As the eldest brother, what's wrong with giving some peanuts and sunflower seeds to your younger brothers and sisters?"

Zhou Xuqiang felt relieved when he heard Zhou Yimin say this: "Hurry up and thank big brother!"

Lai Fu and the other two said in unison: "Thank you, big brother!"

After saying that, Sanxiao ate while watching the performance on the stage.

Zhou Yimin also handed a bag of peanuts to his grandparents: "Grandpa, grandma, you eat them too, maybe we can't waste them!"

The old man and grandma looked happy: "Great!"

After a while, Lu Anguo came over with a dozen bags of peanuts and melon seeds.

He trotted over to Zhou Yimin and said breathlessly, "We still have about 28 packs in stock. Add those we just bought, and that's 12 packs. If you want all of them, you can save two yuan, which is yuan."

Although I will earn two dollars less, if I can sell all of them, I can still earn about three dollars and sixty cents. If I miss it, I don’t know when I can sell them all.

I had just been shouting for nearly half an hour, and only sold two packs.

Zhou Yimin said: "I can buy them all, but you have to do me a favor."

“Section Chief Zhou, don’t even mention one, even if it’s ten, it doesn’t matter.” Lu Anguo responded.

Zhou Yimin was quite satisfied with Lu Anguo's attitude.

You have to know that when you go shopping now, the sales clerks are very arrogant. Not only will they not provide any service, they will also give you a cold shoulder. A very small number of them will even beat or scold customers. It's not like the 21st century, where customers are everything.

"It's not a difficult problem. Just help me distribute these peanuts and melon seeds to the elderly and children. Just give each of them a handful."

Lu Anguo didn't expect that Zhou Yimin would share all the peanuts and melon seeds he bought, and he even shared them among the elderly and children in the village. He admired him from the bottom of his heart: "Don't worry, Chief Zhou, I will definitely take care of this matter."

Zhou Yimin couldn't help but nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Then he took out twelve yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lu Anguo.

After Lu Anguo took the money, he began to distribute peanuts and melon seeds to the elderly and children in Zhoujiazhuang, and explained that they were given to everyone by Zhou Yimin.

Since everyone in Zhoujiazhuang had a seat, it was easy to tell who were from Zhoujiazhuang and who were from other villages.

It is unacceptable that the performance held in Zhoujiazhuang does not have any privileges at all.

And if most people in Zhoujiazhuang were standing, many people behind would probably be blocked and couldn't see anything. Lu Anguo quickly began to distribute peanuts and melon seeds to the people who should receive them.

At first, when the old branch secretary received it, he was also shocked and waved his hand hastily, saying, "Comrade, I don't want to buy it."

Although I was a little greedy, but when I heard that it cost 50 cents for a bag, I was no longer greedy. After all, it might take me two or three days to save up 50 cents. It would be better to leave this money to my son and grandson.

Lu Anguo explained: "Old comrade, this is free. Section Chief Zhou invited the elderly and children in Zhoujiazhuang to eat this."

After saying that, he grabbed a handful.

The old branch secretary was a little confused, but still took it.

If he hears anyone saying something bad about Zhou Yimin in the future, he will be the first one to not let them go.

The old branch secretary was not the only one who thought this way. Basically, every elderly person who received the letter thought the same way.

Without Zhou Yimin, Zhoujiazhuang could not get through the food shortage so easily. You know, there were more or less people starving to death in other villages.

Most of those who did not receive peanuts and melon seeds had no objections. Even if they did, they did not dare to speak out, for fear of being driven out of Zhoujiazhuang by the whole village.

Happiness means time always passes quickly, and suddenly it’s time for the last program, which is "On the Bank of Jinsha River" brought by Xin Fengxia.

On the Bank of the Jinsha River tells a story: In 1936, during the Long March, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army crossed the Jinsha River and entered the Tibetan compatriots' settlement. In order to provoke relations between the Tibetans and the Red Army, a certain party pretended to be the Red Army and abducted the chieftain's daughter Zhuma. The Red Army was misunderstood by the Tibetan compatriots and was cut off from food and water. They worked hard to expose the conspiracy and were able to continue northward.

The work vividly shows the bravery and fearlessness of the Red Army soldiers, the simplicity and kindness of the Tibetan people, and the deep military-civilian ties between the Red Army and the Tibetan people.

When this classic work was performed for the first time, representatives of the "five major schools" of Pingju opera, including Xin Fengxia, Xiao Bai Yushuang, Wei Rongyuan, Ma Tai, and Zhang Defu, gathered together to perform on the same stage for the first and only time.

Famous actors such as Xi Baokun, Zhao Lianxi, Xi Caichun, Li Zisen, and Chen Shaofang also made appearances. Even Zhao Lirong, who was already quite famous at the time, played an ordinary Tibetan in the play.

This powerful artistic combination not only improved the overall artistic level of the repertoire, but also set an example for the inheritance and development of Pingju art. Many classic singing segments are still talked about by drama fans today.

Among them, Xin Fengxia played the role of Zhuma, the daughter of the Tibetan chieftain, who was lively, brave and heroic, and successfully created the image of the first Tibetan female on the Pingju stage.

However, this time it is definitely not the original cast, but only members of the Experimental Pingju Troupe. However, Xin Fengxia still plays the role of Zhuma, the daughter of the chieftain of the tribe.

As Xin Fengxia performed on stage, the atmosphere reached its climax. Many people could not help but shout out loudly, but were immediately warned with eyes by the people around them. If they continued to shout, it would definitely arouse public anger. For their own personal safety, they were better not to shout out.

The audience, which had been noisy at first, suddenly became quiet, with only the sounds coming from the stage.

An hour passed quickly, and Xin Fengxia and all the troupe members bowed to the audience and left the stage.

Many audience members were still immersed in the performance that had just happened and did not want to leave. However, for everyone's safety, the old branch secretary still arranged people to evacuate the audience and let everyone go home.

Just when the old man was about to leave.

Zhou Yimin shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, don't leave yet. I have a surprise for you later."

I asked Xin Fengxia to come over and chat with my grandparents.
