1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 19 The suona sounded, and the play ended ~
"Master, look, I wrote it!" Xia Tian happily stuffed a book of "Children's Literature" into Old Man Ma's hand.

Ever since I started learning Peking Opera from Old Man Ma, I often come to visit in the summer.

Sometimes he would bring him food and drink, and sometimes he would come to practice the new boxing techniques he had learned with him.

Let me tell you that recently there were a few guys nearby who were so foolish as to want to "compete with" me, but I beat them all.

When Old Man Ma was young, he was a famous actor and a well-known martial artist, so his skills must have been quite good.

Now that I am old, have a lame leg, and am in poor health, I always advise people not to make too much noise in the summer, to be forgiving when possible, and to be sensible.

The old man is very nice. It is easy to get along with him. You can learn a lot from him and listen to him tell interesting stories about the old society. I often come here in summer.

The master and the disciple chatted for a while, and then sang a few songs, feeling very relaxed.

I learned things too quickly in the summer, including body posture, eye expressions, singing style... the four basic skills of singing, reciting, acting and fighting, which I could learn and practice easily.

Originally, Old Man Ma just planned to teach casually, and Xia Tian just planned to learn casually, but just like that, they almost learned everything that could be taught and learned.

Sometimes Old Man Ma even sighs to himself: Genius!
He is not only a genius in Peking Opera, but also a genius in martial arts.

He also knew that Xia Tian was learning martial arts at the Children's Palace.

I didn’t expect that I could write articles?!
"You wrote it? Which one?!" Old Man Ma seemed a little excited.

He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart - he was a low-class person and had suffered a lot, and he always hoped that Xia Tian could walk the right path.

Xia Tian found the article "Gudong is Coming" for him. "It's this one. Including the cover painting, I gave him four yuan in total."

As he spoke, Xia Tian handed over a pair of cloth shoes.

"Nei Liansheng? Why are you buying this thing? Take it back and let your dad wear it." Old man Ma refused to take it.

"My dad's feet are one size bigger than yours, so he can't wear them."

"Then you keep it and wear it!"

"Look what's on my feet? Take it quickly! My new manuscript has been approved and will be published next month. Money is a bastard, we can earn it again if we lose it." Xia Tian sat there, looking like a dandy young man from a wealthy family in the old days.

Old Man Ma shook his head helplessly and accepted the cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

Nei Lian Sheng is a century-old brand. It was founded in the third year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign in the Qing Dynasty, which was in 1853 AD. It has continued to this day and just restored the old signboard of "Nei Lian Sheng" this year.

The saying goes "wearing Ma Juyuan on the head, Ruifengxiang on the body, Nei Liansheng on the feet, and Sidaheng around the waist", the old Yanjing people pay the most attention to this.

It's called a tunnel~
……

Although I was enrolled in a university after graduating from elementary school, I was not enrolled in a university at the Children's Palace yet.

I'm learning painting, calligraphy, and musical instruments.

When the teacher of the painting class is busy now, he asks Xia Tian to take care of other students. As for learning musical instruments, he can learn it quickly and become proficient in it after a while, and then he changes to another class as soon as he becomes proficient in it - which makes the teacher very angry.

The martial arts class is even more senior, and the sky changes color when hearing it~
Xia was practicing swordsmanship that day. The three-foot-high sword in his hand shone with a cold light. He looked so handsome!
As expected, how can practicing with a spear be so cool?
The handsome young man standing with a sword in his hand is so cool!

People are darker these days and healthier. But in summer they are white, two shades whiter than their peers who are tanned like black loaches.

With his tall stature, delicate features, sharp eyebrows and eyes, he is truly lethal.

Many young ladies aged 15, 16, or 17 who were unaware of the situation privately inquired about Xia Tian's news.

A few days ago, there was a bold young lady who, after Xia Tian was practicing swordsmanship with his fellow junior brothers, boldly approached him and asked him his name.

Xia Tian: "A little red in the Central Plains~"

"Ah? I asked you your name?"

"A lonely figure on a cold river, an old friend from the rivers and lakes, why do we have to know each other when we meet?"

Xia Tian put away his sword gracefully, bowed, turned around and walked away. In just three or two steps, he reached the end of the corridor.

Just install B and go~
What a joke! Women will only affect the speed at which I, Zhongyuan Yidianhong, draw my sword.

Of course, soon this new girl will learn Xia Tian’s real age from other female classmates.
Recently, Coach Liu introduced two old boxing masters to me. One of them is from Shandong Province, and the other is from C State in Hebei Province.

We all got in touch through friends and friends of friends, and no one believed Xia Tian’s claim that he could master any style of boxing in a week.

Coach Liu used this trick and I don’t know how many old masters he provoked.

And Xia Tian never embarrassed him.

There are thirteen or fourteen masters now, and they know more than thirty kinds of boxing, weapons, etc. It's not difficult at all.

For many people, you have to learn, and after learning you have to practice.

Because the brain has learned it, but the hands cannot.

Some boxing techniques have very strange power generation methods, which require years of practice, usually three to five years to master. It takes a lot of effort!
But here in the summer, basically you can learn it just by watching and teaching it once.

After practicing a few times, you will be able to find the power and strength, as if your body is born with this ability. You don’t need to practice, you just need to “think about it”.

Others have learned it in their brains, but their bodies haven't reacted yet. But for Xia Tian, ​​every muscle in this body is "very obedient". Those skills that take years to develop into muscle memory can be done in just a few days for him.

This is simply a boxing killer!

I don’t know how many old masters suffered setbacks here in the summer.

After learning boxing, many people got drunk at Coach Liu's "thank you banquet".

While drunk, he recalled how difficult it was for him to learn boxing in the first place, how much hard work he put in, and how he was beaten again and again by his master.

Now I encounter such a monster!

On the one hand, the boxing skills have been passed down, but on the other hand, I feel very unbalanced.

"What the hell is this? How can this be possible? I practiced for a year and a half before I found the power, and my master said I had talent. He only practiced for four days, and in the middle he also learned a set of Seven Star Praying Mantis Boxing?!"

……

"You want to learn suona from me?!" Chunba Yang Qianli was a little surprised.

Xia Tian knew about it. Ever since he moved to Yanjing, he knew that there was a stupid boy in the Xia family next door. Later, he suddenly became smart and had a very close relationship with his own Dachun.

He often comes to eat and drink, and asks his wife to sew clothes for him - Xia Ma's needlework is notoriously bad.

Whenever there is any work like suturing trouser legs, I ask Chun Ma for help.

Chunma is an old tailor. She used to be a tailor in Northeast China and now she is in charge of tailoring in a garment factory.

Neighbors all find summer novel.

Although the child liked to fight, he was the first batch of children from the neighborhood to be tamed, so he suffered less beatings.

Since you don't hit your own children, then fighting is not a big deal.

Especially in the summer, she is sweet-talker, willing to help with anything, smart, good at grades, and good-looking. Who wouldn’t be proud of her?
But Chun's father never expected that Xia Tian suddenly wanted to learn to play the suona from him.

He knew that Xia Tian could play the harmonica, and had learned the erhu and flute at the Children's Palace, but suona... not many people learn it these days!

"Why are you learning this? I heard from your mom that the dance troupe wants to train you to play the piano, but you don't play the piano but the suona? What's wrong with you, kid? You are stupid!"

Dachun's family moved here from the Northeast a few years ago. Xia Tian felt very familiar with their accent. They seemed like fellow villagers from several lifetimes ago.
“It would be great to learn to play a fine instrument!”

Dad Chun is actually very envious of Xia Tian's talent. He really hopes that his own son Chun will have some musical talent as well.

As a result, his only musical talent was channeled into playing drums.

That’s right, Dachun can play drums, and he’s quite good at it—his grandfather was a drummer in the production team, and he’s been influenced by him since he was a child!
As the saying goes, children taught by grandma can dance, and children taught by grandpa can play drums.

It is said that Dachun could play drums when he was five years old!

However, Dachun's attitude was very improper. He just opened his mouth and rolled his eyes, and knocked twice to fool people.

Summer gave him a nickname: the world-weary drummer.

Just like working in social C!
Father Chun: Look at Xia Tian, ​​he has flute, erhu and piano! Look at us, we have suona and drums! Why is there such a big difference?
Xia Tian is really good at talking: "Suona is really nice to listen to, but it's hard to play harmony, so it can only be played solo.

So, I always feel that the suona is the loneliest instrument. It is unique, leading the trend, and sings its own joys and sorrows.

One erhu plays a lifetime, and the whole play ends with the sound of the suona.

Uncle Yang, I love this suona, please teach me how to play it!"

Chun's father couldn't help laughing as he scratched his head - he felt that the suona he had been playing for twenty years had suddenly become more powerful!
Teach! I must teach! Xia Tian is the one who understands me and the suona!
So after dinner, neighbors of all ages, men and women, moved their bamboo couches and rattan chairs into the alley and occupied the best seats.

Start enjoying the suona ensemble of Summer and Spring Dad!
Xia Tian learned very quickly, mainly focusing on finding the pitch - which was later called absolute pitch. If the fingers were obedient, the lung capacity and dantian qi would be sufficient.

It is the culmination of the Nine Yang Divine Art, and all the martial arts in the world are within your reach.

"Hey! This is a great song. When I get married, you guys play it for me!"

"Ha! This song is great! When I die, you guys play it for me!"

Soon the time came, and the broadcast sounded during the sunset period.

"China Radio Station, now broadcasting to preschoolers: Children, the little speaker has started broadcasting, beep, beep, beep."

"I'm Doraemon. I'm very busy at work. I take care of all the letters from the children. I open the mailbox for the little speaker."

"…The loudspeaker is over. Goodbye, kids."

No one had a TV these days, so people in the alley would come here to listen to the radio, chat, play chess, etc.

This Shanghai brand radio is so powerful that it is said that sometimes the "enemy stations" in Taiwan can be received on the southeast coast.

Yanjing is definitely not an option, it’s too far away.

Zhang Qilin came again yesterday and told Xia Tian that the article "Little Horse Crossing the River" will be published next month. By the way, what will be published next month?

I got a new round of royalties, and I have another month of fertile time!
What are you planning to buy for your mom in the summer? A box of vanishing cream?
I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
