Li Qixiu "Drama Actor"

Xue Meiping stayed awake all night.

When the sky was bright, she touched the pillow towel with her hand, and the pillow towel wet most of the pillow, and the tears shed all night were bittersweet. His son Bai Daqiang was admitted to the Ludong Regional Repertory Troupe, and he was transferred from agriculture to non-household registration, so he threw down the mud rice bowl and got the golden rice bowl......

She heard a soft knock on the door of her son Daqiang's bedroom, she turned on the light, the old clock on the chest of drawers struck 6 times, and hurriedly got up and dressed. His son Daqiang will report to the regional repertory troupe tomorrow, and today he will go to the town and county to move his household registration to go through the formalities, which is a major event that cannot be delayed.

Outside the house, there was a message from his son Daqiang, Mom, you can sleep a little longer, you have been busy enough in the past few days, you don't have breakfast, I will go to the village wonton department to buy some fritters and porridge and come back.

Xue Meiping's heart is hot, when her son is older, she knows that she feels sorry for her mother, you go to the county market to buy a good fish and cut more meat, and invite the women's director and the neighbor's aunt and aunt over for a meal tonight, these sisters are busy sewing bedding for you these days, not to mention, each family also sends eggs and peach crisp buns, Mom doesn't want to owe people love, invite them over for a meal tonight.

Bai Daqiang stood in front of Xue Meiping and held a brown paper bag in his hand, Mom, the procedures for the permit to move the household registration were completed yesterday afternoon, and after eating this morning, I wanted to kowtow to my father on the grave and burn some paper, and say goodbye to him.

Xue Meiping's smiling face sank, is that necessary? Let's talk about it when it's time for Qingming!

Bai Daqiang pointed to the offerings on the chair and said, Mom, I bought the paper and incense back, I don't know when I can come back when I left home to work this time, there is too much grass on my father's grave, I will go and clean up some new soil, don't let the villagers see the joke. said that there is no one in our Bai family.

Xue Meiping felt that what her son said had a certain truth, and her son didn't want to upset him if he left tomorrow, so she instructed her, then go early and return early, and pay attention to fire prevention.

Bai Daqiang came to his father's grave, cleaned up the weeds on the grave with a sickle, cultivated some new soil on the grave with an iron shovel, put the offerings on the table, and poured a bottle of liquor around the grave...... Dad, my son has good news for you, from tomorrow onwards I will not be a farmer, and I will eat public food, you must be very happy to hear it. Are you okay over there? When I was a child, I remember that you were always cold, and said that drinking some wine would warm you up...... Bai Daqiang couldn't help but burst into tears as he spoke......

Bai Daqiang always felt that there must be something between his parents. His childhood was spent in the midst of his parents' quarrels, even over trivial matters. My father served as the secretary of the party committee of the commune, and the commune was less than two miles away from home, and my father was afraid that the constant quarrel would have a bad impact, so he finally simply installed a marching bed in his own office in the commune, but he did not return home all year round.

My father was swept away by the flood when he was directing the villagers to move at the breach of the dam of the commune reservoir, and my mother rushed to the morgue of the commune hospital, lifted the white cloth covering my father's face, and did not cry or shed tears, but just said calmly, I have lived a lifetime, this time like a man.

After the father left for many years, the kind-hearted neighbor saw that it was not easy for the mother to pull Daqiang to live alone, and persuaded her to take another step, and the mother immediately turned her face, I am not guarding the archway for the dead ghost, I am afraid that my son will be angry......

When Bai Daqiang grew up, he didn't want to touch the sad past of his mother and father.

The next morning, Xue Meiping got up to make dumplings, watched her son eat two large bowls, and sent her son to the bus stop at the head of the village to wait for the bus.

After Bai Daqiang unloaded the luggage on the small cart, Xue Meiping pulled the two of them to sit on the bench of the bus station, Xue Meiping's eyes were red and said, your son has not wanted to watch the Lu Opera of the village and the county troupe since he was a child, saying that it was a sissy for the eldest daughter and little daughter-in-law, you play the favorite movie, as long as the county goes to our village to hang up the white curtain on the wheat field, you will not eat and take the little Mazha to occupy a seat there early, after watching the movie, take a stick and a broom, and learn the devil in the movie and the Eighth Route Army to perform on the kang, can memorize the words in the movie without leaving ten, and several times the kang collapsed, causing our mother to sleep on the door panel, and I was beaten by my mother for this......

Bai Daqiang took over the conversation, remember what you often scolded me, little rabbit, don't you learn to shout and drink dancing guns and sticks to be able to eat in the future?

Xue Meiping said with a smile, who would have thought that she would really eat this bowl of rice now!

The bus came from afar, Xue Meiping held Daqiang's hand tightly and said, son, work hard when you get to the unit, listen to the words of the leader, it is not easy for us farmers to find such a job, remember that suffering is a blessing.

Bai Daqiang met Wang Ronghong at the gate of the bus station in the Ludong area.

Bai Daqiang was very surprised, Rong Hong, why don't you tell me in advance, how good it would be for the two of us to take a car.

Wang Ronghong glanced at him, I didn't like you who had already been notified. It took two days of delay for my political examination form to be stamped at the secretary of the brigade, and all the formalities were completed yesterday. I came at 4 o'clock this morning by the car from the village to the harbor to transport sand, but I didn't expect to bump into you as soon as I got off the bus.

Bai Daqiang looked at Wang Ronghong, who wore a green scarf on his head, and said, The big beauty of our propaganda team is now dressed like a woman who sells eggs in the countryside.

Wang Ronghong was a little embarrassed by him, hurriedly took off his scarf and patted it on the shoulder, it was too windy to sit in the car of Lasha, this political trial was thanks to your relative who was a cultural and educational assistant in the commune, he patted his chest and said to the person who was engaged in the external transfer of the troupe, my family is not an upper middle peasant or a lower middle peasant, and stamped a seal on the external transfer materials and pressed his handprint.

Bai Daqiang nodded, there is such a distant relative, I should call him uncle according to his generation, and he hasn't moved for many years.

Wang Ronghong continued, he seems to know that you have been admitted to the repertory troupe, and when you went to the commune to get the certification materials, he joked with me that you may not call me uncle in the future, your uncle is very humorous.

Bai Daqiang smiled, my uncle loves to joke. There are so many things for the two of us, the bus can't be squeezed, you watch things here, I'll hire a tricycle.

Wang Ronghong interjected, the group should be reimbursed, right?

After a while, Bai Daqiang led a tricycle over, and the tricycle master looked at the luggage piled on the ground, then at the two of them, and stretched out a slap, 5 cents.

Bai Daqiang was about to say something, the tricycle master waved his hand and said, young man, you don't have to bargain with me, I'll tell you, from here to the repertory troupe is 4 stops, and the ticket for two people on the bus is two cents, and you guys get on the bus to occupy at least three people's seats, and the conductor has to charge you two cents. Take my car and luggage directly to the door of the repertory troupe, do I want you more than 5 cents? After speaking, he put on a posture of loving to sit or not.

Bai Daqiang thinks that he can save one, master, or 4 cents and 5, I don't take the car, and I can help you push the car in the back when I go uphill.

The tricycle master shook his head helplessly and smiled, young man, you can calculate better than me, calculate the account to the bones, I worship you as a teacher. I haven't opened it yet, so let's get in the car!

The tricycle master praised Daqiang while pedaling the tricycle, young man, you will be a family treasure in the future, and if I have a daughter-in-law, you will be the son-in-law of the door.

Bai Daqiang relied on his young age and strength to be inexhaustible, and the road of 4 stations has been running behind the tricycle, and when he encountered the uphill slope, he pushed hard in the back, and the tricycle master was happy to hum a small tune all the way.

The door of the repertory troupe was a small downhill, Bai Daqiang didn't know that he was still pushing behind, and the tricycle master hurriedly stepped on the chain of the car and shouted, don't push, don't push...... Nearly collided with an oncoming Beijing jeep.

The jeep driver was a soldier, and when he came down to see that the front of the car was not injured, he said to the tricycle master that the master should be leisurely, and it was not a trivial matter to crash the leader's car.

The tricycle master did not take care of the driver's words, and said while unloading his luggage that the People's Liberation Army was a great wall of steel that could not be damaged.

Bai Daqiang handed 4 cents and 5 cents to the tricycle master, master, put the money away.

Wang Ronghong reminded, master, give a ticket reimbursement.

At this time, a tall young woman wearing a military uniform and a green skirt and a plastic red hair card got out of the jeep, and when she saw Bai Daqiang and Wang Ronghong, she said enthusiastically, It turned out to be the two of you.

Seeing that Bai Daqiang and Wang Ronghong did not react, they hurriedly introduced themselves, my name is Zhang Yafeng, during the retest, I was in the first group, and the two of you were in the second group, if I remember correctly, the two of you are called Bai Daqiang and Wang Ronghong, and they are from Bohai County.

Two soldiers walked over, the man was burly and square, and he looked like a leader, and the woman had short hair and a round face, delicate and white skin, and a pair of majestic eyes under the military hat.

Zhang Yafeng introduced, this is our old man, a cadre at the prefectural committee level, and this is my wife, vice president of the 401 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.

Zhang Yafeng's father is full of red face, with a smile on his face, there is no need to introduce it so complicated, my name is Zhang Ye, and her mother's name is Liu Shuqing. In the future, you and Yafeng will work together, and you must unite and help each other. Yafeng, this child has a lot of shortcomings, you have to tolerate her more. After speaking, he took the initiative to shake hands with Bai Daqiang and Wang Ronghong.

Liu Shuqing saw that her daughter's face was a little unhappy and hurriedly said, when the political commissar is ill by occupation, he wants to do ideological work wherever he goes, let them be busy, let's go up and visit the regiment leader.

When Bai Daqiang came to the men's dormitory of the repertory troupe with his luggage, he found that there were only two beds in the dormitory, which were bunk beds and iron frame beds. The two lower bunks of the bed already had luggage, and a long-haired young man lying on the lower bunk with glasses was holding a book and reading intently, until Bai Daqiang walked to the bed, he sat up from the bed, you are also a student, my name is Ji Si, and I came yesterday.

Bai Daqiang listened to Ji Si's tone and the Tianjin Allegro on the radio and hurriedly said, My name is Bai Daqiang, and Mr. Ji Si is from Tianjin, right?

Ji Si nodded, you can't bear to call me a teacher, we are all senior brothers and junior brothers. You look handsome enough, your image really looks like movie star Wang Xingang, isn't this "making changes" (the meaning of Tianjin dialect) when sleeping on the top bunk is such a tall one?

Bai Daqiang didn't understand what "making changes" meant and said with a smile, I will sleep on the top bunk and turn over as much as possible, so as not to affect your rest.

Ji Si got up from the bed and stretched, then, at first glance, you are from a poor middle peasant in the countryside, honest and kind, not like a city person who is slippery, hypocritical and greedy.

Bai Daqiang looked at Ji Si, not understanding what he meant.

Ji Si pointed to a mark of a note torn off the side of his upper bunk and said, It turned out that the note was written with your name and let others tear it up, it turned out that the lower bunk next to you became my upper bunk, and the little citizen consciousness could not be ......

Who is behind the scenes to stir up the masses to fight the masses...... As soon as the words fell, a tall, thin-faced man walked in, and he put the basin and mop in his hand on the ground.

Bai Daqiang knew that the person who came was called Guo Xiaocong, and everyone else was so nervous during the re-examination, only he was a self-cooked, lighting cigarettes and pouring water for the examiners for a while, and handing fans to the judges for a while, so busy that he almost missed the venue.

Guo Xiaocong crossed his waist and said to Ji Si, you are a typical liberalism, just like Chairman Mao and his old man said, don't talk about it in person, talk nonsense behind your back.

Ji Si immediately retorted to him, you are a real person, I am not talking nonsense, I am telling the truth, did you tear off the note on this bed, you took a big advantage, and said that others committed liberalism!

Guo Xiaocong can't get off the stage a little, I want to clean up our dormitory, who is as lazy as you, I didn't sweep the floor and didn't wipe the table when I came yesterday.

Bai Daqiang saw that the two of them were getting more and more angry, and hurriedly persuaded, don't quarrel with the two of you, you are both in the same dormitory, don't hurt the harmony, I like to sleep on the top bunk, clean and no one sits.

At this time, there was a shout from downstairs, and the new students had a meeting in the rehearsal hall!

The rehearsal hall was bright and the wooden floors were clean enough to reflect the human figures. The walls of the hall are all inlaid with large mirrors, and the actors can see their training movements in the mirror by holding on to the handles.

A young woman with short hair and a strong body was sorting out the roster, and seeing her reminded people of Guo Fenglian, the captain of the Dazhai Iron Girl.

Bai Daqiang and her were in the same group for the retest, so he couldn't remember what her name was, so he asked Guo Xiaocong next to him, what is the name of this woman?

Guo Xiaocong replied in a low voice, and named a man named Jiang Aiwu, who looked like a gay man, with big shoulders and a thick waist in line with the image of workers and peasants.

Jiang Aiwu saw that everyone sat down, opened the roster folder and said, everyone be quiet, I will start roll call, whose name is called, please stand up, everyone get to know each other.

Bai Daqiang, Guo Xiaocong, Ji Si, Zhang Yafeng and Wang Ronghong, who were sitting below, stood up and appeared one after another.

Jiang Aiwu closed the roll call and said, Next, please ask Secretary Cao Weidong of the troupe to give instructions to our cadet team, everyone is welcome!

There were not many students sitting below, and the applause was not enthusiastic.

Secretary Cao stood up from the first row of seats, he was not tall, stocky figure, gray hair, deep forehead tattoos, his face was dark brown, and he looked bitter and hateful. He seemed to have just returned from working in the fields, put down his trouser legs with both hands, cleared his throat and said, I am a grinder and a crusher—really, I will not say anything politely, and we will touch the spoon in a pot from now on. The party branch of our delegation put forward several requirements for your cadet team, listen to Chairman Mao's words, and follow the party. To act in a revolutionary drama, be a revolutionary first. On weekdays, he practiced his basic skills hard and performed well as workers, peasants and soldiers on stage. When they meet, they have to speak Mandarin, and they are transferred from south to north to Maokeng......

The cadet team lowered their heads and covered their mouths, trying their best to restrain themselves from laughing, only Ji Si might not be able to hold back his laughter, and when he took the lead, the audience laughed along.

Cao Weidong patted the table with some annoyance and said, everyone should be serious, what I said is not coarse. Comrade Ji Si, you still have a smile on your face, your mouth full of Tianjin Wei dialect has to be changed even more, don't open your mouth is "well, well", shut up is the "uh, uh", affect everyone's enthusiasm for speaking Mandarin.

Ji Si lowered his head and muttered quietly, they are happy, what does it matter to me...... This is a Mandarin with a Tianjin flavor.

Perhaps it was everyone's laughter that affected Cao Weidong's interest in speaking, so today I will talk about these first, and then announce to you a decision in the regiment: Comrade Jiang Aiwu will serve as the captain of the cadet team. Comrade Jiang Aiwu is an advanced element of the county's educated youth, who joined the party at the point of the educated youth, and is a typical example of the county's educated youth......

While speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and light gray suspender pants quietly walked in with his head down, probably afraid of affecting everyone, so he found a seat in the back and sat down.

Cao Weidong stopped him, Director Ma Chuan, you came just in time, come to the front and talk to the students.

The cadet team all knew director Ma Chuan, and he was the chief examiner during the exam, but he didn't know his name.

Director Ma Chuan stood in place, Secretary Cao said that it was very important, and asked the cadet team to implement it conscientiously, and discuss the business matters with you after class and rehearsals. When Director Ma Chuan spoke, Bai Daqiang, who was sitting in front of him, smelled a smell of wine.

Cao Weidong was called to the office at 9 p.m. by Liu Shuxiang, director of the regional cultural bureau.

Director Liu Shuxiang looked at Cao Weidong with a surprised expression and said, Secretary Weidong is really sorry, I brought you here because of an urgent task, and I just came from Secretary Wang of the prefectural party committee.

Cao Weidong didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly took out his notebook and prepared to record it.

Director Liu Shuxiang waved his hand, don't remember, this matter is like this. Secretary Wang of the prefectural party committee went to Beijing for a meeting, and his comrades-in-arms working in the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department invited him to watch a drama "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains" performed by the General Political Drama Troupe...... Looking at Cao Weidong's unresponsive appearance, Director Liu Shuxiang went straight to the point, let's make a long story short, Secretary Wang asked our repertory troupe to rehearse "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains" immediately, and report the performance in the auditorium of the local party committee in the New Year, which can be regarded as a report for the repertoire of the repertory troupe.

Cao Weidong finally understood the reason why Director Liu Shuxiang called him so late.

Seeing Cao Weidong's daze, Director Liu Shuxiang emphasized the importance of the task, Secretary Weidong, let's start arranging it tomorrow, the whole regiment will hold a mobilization meeting, and I will go to the regiment to talk about it!

At the mobilization meeting of the whole troupe, Liu Shuxiang spoke for a full hour and a half, from the attention of the leadership to the political significance of the play, and then to the far-reaching impact of the founding of the drama troupe......

After the meeting, Cao Weidong summoned the members of the Party branch of the Youth League and the members of the Art Committee of the Youth League to the office and asked everyone to come up with ideas. There was a long silence in the audience, and everyone looked at each other, thinking that this was a task that could not be completed by throwing stones into the sky. People in the industry know that first of all, they must go to Beijing to watch the drama and get the script, and what is more difficult is to get the stage performance materials of the play's lights, costumes, Taoism, and effectiveness, which can not be mastered by watching a few plays, and there are no people and places in Beijing except Tiananmen Square, not to mention that the time required by the local party committee to perform is only 45 days.

Director Ma Chuan stood up, walked to the newspaper rack and took down the "People's Daily" to look at it, and was suddenly attracted by a message in the lower right corner of the newspaper, he put on reading glasses and read it several times, slapped his thigh and shouted: Great, it turned out to be the play directed by this kid, the problem is solved!

Everyone was confused by Director Ma Chuan's actions, and the captain of the stage came to say, Lao Ma usually doesn't drink in the morning.

Cao Weidong hurriedly asked, Lao Ma, which play are you directing?

Director Ma Chuan read the news from the newspaper...... After the performance in Beijing of the 10-part large-scale drama "Thousands of Rivers and Mountains," performed by the General Political Drama Troupe, the drama aroused strong repercussions in the capital's cultural and artistic circles, and the drama reflected the moving deeds of the Red Army in climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands and overcoming many difficulties. The screenwriter is Chen Qitong, the famous "Red Ghost" Red Army propaganda captain, who is currently the Minister of the General Political Department and the Ministry of Culture, directed by Wu Shaofeng, a young rising star of the Repertory Troupe, and starring Huang Kai, a famous actor of the Repertory Troupe......

Cao Weidong is still a little skeptical about this sudden surprise, Lao Ma, are you sure?

Director Ma Chuan said confidently that it must be no problem to learn drama. When I was a director at the China Youth Art Theater in Beijing, this kid had just graduated from Chinese opera and was assigned to the General Political Drama Troupe, and the leader sent him to Qingyi to learn directing with me.

When Cao Weidong heard that it was this kind of relationship, he firmly believed that it was no problem to go to Beijing to study opera, and Director Ma Chuan added another sentence, not only is it no problem to learn drama, but at least this kid invited me to give me a meal in Donglai.

I didn't expect the great difficulty to be solved so smoothly. Cao Weidong was really overjoyed, he left Director Ma Chuan alone and said, Director Ma Chuan, although Director Wu of the General Political Department and you have this kind of relationship, we have to express something in the group, I asked the secretary to buy 2 catties of sea rice and 4 catties of peanuts for you to bring, a little to show our hearts, people have helped a lot, and I also know that this is all for your face.

Director Ma Chuan felt his presence for the first time when he was transferred from Beijing to the repertory troupe.

Director Ma Chuan returned from Beijing with two main actors and the designer of the stage lighting costumes. Wu Shaofeng, his student who was a director of the General Political Drama Troupe, really gave him a long face, invited them to watch two scenes, and all the materials of the script stage were ready, and also arranged for the main creators of "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains" to hold a 3-hour symposium.

When saying goodbye, Director Wu Shaofeng held Director Ma Chuan's hand and apologized, the teacher was too busy this time, there are a lot of provincial troupes across the country to learn drama, I don't have time to accompany you to go shopping, Beijing in October is the season to see the red leaves, and I will make up for it next time.

Director Ma Chuan looked lukewarm and said, I'm here to trouble you this time!

Wu Shaofeng couldn't cry or laugh, teacher, this is not scolding students!

The comrades in the troupe who went to Beijing to study drama witnessed the prestige of Director Ma Chuan back then, and they all regretted that if he hadn't become a rightist back then, how could he have a division commander or brigade commander now.

After Cao Weidong heard this, he laughed twice and said, then it is not Ma Chuan.

The cadets of the cadet team, except for the B corner of Li Fenglian, the female propaganda captain who arranged for the Red Army propaganda team to sing, are all Red Army soldiers and Kuomintang soldiers.

The repertoire of the regional repertory troupe was staged in the auditorium of the local government committee on the New Year's night as scheduled.

Secretary Wang, who was born in the Red Army, turned off all official duties and sat in the 8th row of the audience 10 minutes in advance.

The secretary of the prefectural party committee personally observed the performance of a theater troupe, which had never been done before. The leaders of the prefectural party committee, the administrative department and the leaders of various departments rushed to the auditorium, and chairs were temporarily added on both sides of the good seats in the audience.

Director Liu Shuxiang often accompanies the leader to watch the play and understands the leader's intentions, he is afraid that he will not be able to answer the leader's inquiry about the relevant aspects of the play, so he asked Cao Weidong to call Director Ma Chuan to the right seat of Secretary Wang, without waiting for Secretary Wang to ask, Director Ma Chuan promised to answer the questions that the leader wants to know accurately and completely.

Director Ma Chuan saw a lot of leaders in Beijing back then, and it can be said that he carried a plough to the west - after passing through the lord of the land, the more he saw the high-level leaders, the less frightened he was, the more he was stunned, the export was full of chapters, witty words, and when the play reached the climax and the plot changed, he did not wait for Secretary Wang to ask, and preemptively talked about the relationship between the characters, the plot development and the specific environment, and Secretary Wang nodded again and again, full of praise.

No one expected that in the last scene of the play, an unexpected accident occurred on the stage.

The last scene of the play is the Red Army's victorious division, there is a simple cutscene, the Red Army soldiers hold steel guns, carrying big knives to chase the remnants of the fleeing Kuomintang, I don't know why, the big locust tree made of the set in the middle of the stage fell, and the audience sighed.

The show was a complete success. Secretary Wang stood up from his seat and took the lead in applauding, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked on the stage and shook hands with the actors in the front row one by one, walked to Li Youguo's actor and had a few cordial conversations, and then took a group photo with the whole group of actors, and pulled Director Ma Chuan to his right.

After sending off Secretary Wang's relevant leaders, Cao Weidong's face immediately turned cloudy, and he asked Jiang Aiwu to inform the Red Army soldiers who ran through the scene that they were not allowed to leave after removing their makeup, and held a meeting in the background to investigate the cause of the accident.

Director Ma Chuan whispered in Cao Weidong's ear that it is normal for a small accident to occur in the performance, and the leader is still very satisfied and fully affirmed. Everyone is too tired to rehearse the costume stage these days, let them go back early to rest, and it is not too late to have a meeting tomorrow to investigate.

Cao Weidong's neck twisted, his eyes glared and said loudly, this is not a small problem, can the big tree trunk in the middle of the stage fall into a small accident?

Director Ma Chuan saw that Cao Weidong was on the line, and shook his head helplessly, then you can check, I'm too tired and need to go home to rest. After saying that, he left in a hurry with his bag in his hand.

The Red Army soldiers who stayed behind were all cadets of the cadet corps, and everyone looked at each other, bowing their heads and no one dared to squeak.

Jiang Aiwu, as the captain of the cadet, knows how to cooperate with Cao Weidong's work, she is afraid that the investigation will not be able to go on in the cold, so she said, Secretary Cao is not on the line, and the trunk fell This is by no means an ordinary accident, we should sum up the lessons and find out the cause, in case such an accident occurs again in the future, I will give you a hint that the trunk fell after I passed the scene......

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Yafeng and Wang Ronghong, and behind Jiang Aiwu were the two of them.

Cao Weidong turned his gaze to Zhang Yafeng and Wang Ronghong, what was the situation at that time?

Wang Ronghong hurriedly said, Jiang Aiwu is behind Zhang Yafeng, I am behind the two of them, this matter has nothing to do with me at all.

Zhang Yafeng glared and asked, Wang Ronghong, what do you mean by this, according to what you said, I knocked down the tree trunk?

Wang Ronghong's head was facing the sky, I didn't say that you knocked down the trunk, anyway, you were sandwiched between me and Jiang Aiwu during the transition.

Cao Weidong seemed to hear a little eyebrows, it seems that the problem is with the two of you, it doesn't matter if young people make mistakes, you must have the courage to dare to take responsibility, tell the truth, don't delay everyone's time.

Zhang Yafeng was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, Secretary Cao, the trunk really wasn't knocked down by me. After speaking, he covered his face and cried.

"Secretary Cao, I know who knocked down the trunk!" As he spoke, Bai Daqiang walked from the crowd to Secretary Cao.

Everyone present was stunned, and their eyes focused on Bai Daqiang. Secretary Cao looked at Bai Daqiang and asked him, Daqiang, have you seen it clearly with your own eyes? This is not just a joke, who do you say knocked it down?

Bai Daqiang said three words, Jiang Aiwu!

The people present were in an uproar, especially Jiang Aiwu as if he didn't understand.

Cao Weidong seemed very calm, do you say that Jiang Aiwu has any real evidence?

Bai Daqiang said with certainty, when I ran through the scene, I was behind Wang Ronghong, and I clearly saw Jiang Aiwu's big knife and red spikes hanging on the trunk, and the trunk did not fall immediately at that time, and it fell after shaking a few times, you wait...... Daqiang ran to the shelf where the knife and gun were put and took a big knife, you can see that this big knife is missing a lock of red ears and hanging on the trunk of a tree.

Cao Weidong took the big knife and looked at it, and Bai Daqiang pointed to the three words Jiang Aiwu written on the handle of the knife.

Jiang Aiwu took the knife and looked at it and said, this knife is a prop I use.

All the people in the scene were waiting to see Cao Weidong's statement, Cao Weidong looked at his watch unhurriedly, the time was so late, fortunately, the truth of the accident came out, this matter is very important, tomorrow the regiment will write an accident report, and wait for the instructions of the leaders of the Cultural Bureau!

The leaders of the Cultural Affairs Bureau do not know whether it was because they were busy or because they felt that this was not a big deal, and they did not reply to the performance accident sent by the repertory troupe.

Director Ma Chuan talked about the class, and it was like a different person. A standard Mandarin speaker, with a blazing gaze and a radiant expression, makes it a pleasure to listen to.

Students, China is a civilized country with a long history of theatrical culture. By the beginning of this century, China's drama scene had been injected with fresh blood due to the introduction of Western drama forms, and Chinese drama had been developed and operated by the older generation of dramatists, showing a new situation of vitality. Here, we have to mention Mr. Cao Yu, the most outstanding playwright in modern China. In the 30s, Mr. Cao Yu created a trilogy of dramas, "Thunderstorm", "Sunrise" and "Wilderness", and the emergence of these three plays marked the maturity of Chinese drama. It is a bright artistic flower in the soil of China's national cultural tradition and the May Fourth New Culture Movement.

After director Ma Chuan finished the lecture, Jiang Aiwu distributed an ink and wax version of the script of "Thunderstorm" to each student. Director Ma Chuan asked each student to read the script carefully no less than three times. Then, according to your own experience of reading the script, sign up which role you are suitable for playing. The cadet team should rehearse the "Thunderstorm" and select the scene as the trainees' business assessment report.

Bai Daqiang listened to it fascinated. He has loved recitation and drama since he was a child. I really didn't know that there was so much to learn about drama. He felt that his ears and hands were not enough, and his notes were messy, and he wanted to use Director Ma Chuan's handouts to make up for what he didn't remember, but he found that Director Ma Chuan's handouts were empty, Director Ma Chuan was too powerful, and all this knowledge was in his head. Bai Daqiang felt that he should have a notebook, write down all the content of the class, and slowly ponder it if he didn't understand. No one is born from a mother's womb to be a great artist.

In the girls' dormitory, Jiang Aiwu, Zhang Yafeng and Wang Ronghong were all seriously looking at the mimeographed script of "Thunderstorm" engraved on wax plates. According to the director's requirements, after reading the script, each person will report the role they are playing according to their own image characteristics, and Director Ma Chuan will consider it uniformly, and then rehearse it as the student's regular report performance.

Wang Ronghong is a scheming person, she took advantage of Jiang Aiwu's free time to answer the phone in the communication room and asked Zhang Yafeng, which role are you going to apply for?

Zhang Yafeng grew up in the army compound since he was a child, and had little contact with the society, so he spoke and acted with a simple tendon, so he said truthfully, I haven't thought about it yet, which one do you want to report Sister Rong Hong?

Wang Ronghong said, there are only three female characters in the script anyway, I want to report Sifeng, the director will definitely not approve it, it is most appropriate to report Sifeng according to your image, but the director will definitely not be able to pass it.

Zhang Yafeng stared at a pair of big eyes and asked puzzledly, why?

Wang Ronghong jumped off the bed and sat next to Zhang Yafeng, you think about Jiang Aiwu is a party member and the captain of the cadets, she told me that she is also going to report to Sifeng, and the director will definitely approve her first, so neither of us has a drama, and the remaining one is Fanyi and one Lu's mother, let's choose one each.

Zhang Yafeng frowned and thought for a long time and said, I didn't think it was so complicated, this is business training and not the evaluation of advanced cadres.

Wang Ronghong heard Jiang Aiwu's footsteps going upstairs, if you don't believe me, just report to Lu's mother, I often play aunts and aunts in the school propaganda team, don't say it, she is back.

Director Ma Chuan announced the list of roles for the cadet team to rehearse "Thunderstorm", and the female role surprised the students.

Bai Daqiang—Zhou Ping, Ji Si—Zhou Puyuan, Zhang Yafeng—Sifeng, Jiang Aiwu—Fanyi, Wang Ronghong—Lu Shiping, Guo Xiaocong—Lu Gui

After Director Ma Chuan announced the role, the students corrected the words according to the roles assigned by the director, because the students' cultural levels were unequal, so the lines were read unevenly, and Director Ma Chuan's brows did not let go all morning.

Wang Ronghong held back a fire in her heart, except for the fact that Sifeng she reported did not approve, the director corrected her typos a lot when she was on the script lines, which made her very unable to get off the stage in front of everyone, and returned to the dormitory after class and slammed the script on the bed, and started a fire at Zhang Yafeng, you are really good at playing two sides and three knives. Didn't you say to report Lu Shiping? Why has he become Lu Sifeng now?

Zhang Yafeng explained, I did report Lu Shiping, and it was the director's decision to let me play Sifeng, why should I lie to you, please don't be so mean when you speak in the future, and leave yourself some morality.

Jiang Aiwu walked into the dormitory, you all don't say a word, I heard you two arguing downstairs, Director Ma Chuan also made a decision based on the characteristics of each of us, didn't Director Ma Chuan say, there are no small roles, only small actors, and they can be brilliant if they are played well.

People can't look good, Zhang Yafeng looks quiet on the surface, she doesn't smile or talk when she sees people, in fact, she has a stubborn side in her inner character, Director Ma Chuan arranged for her to play Sifeng this time, which she didn't expect. The harm caused by Wang Ronghong's words to her aroused her determination to play Sifeng well from the opposite side, and she couldn't let Wang Ronghong see jokes, let alone live up to Director Ma Chuan's expectations of herself.

If you want to play the role of Sifeng well, you will inevitably have to go through the scheduling with Bai Daqiang, the actor of the rival actor Zhou Ping, but fortunately, both of them are single, and they are grinding scenes in their spare time, and they revisit and rehearse the scenes filmed by Director Ma Chuan.

Bai Daqiang is now more fond of dramas, and feels that dramas can express their feelings vividly and openly, unlike when opera is more critical to express feelings, the long passage in front of them exhausts people's passion. Bai Daqiang also knows that the significance of this student report is not trivial, and the first impression is too important, especially when this business report is also associated with the regularization.

Zhang Yafeng and Bai Daqiang agreed to work overtime to rehearse every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night.

Lu Shiping played by Wang Ronghong, and the opponent actor is Lu Gui played by Guo Xiaocong. Guo Xiaocong was originally dissatisfied with the role of Lu Gui assigned to him by Director Ma Chuan, and he looked like he was getting by, and he didn't take it seriously at all. Wang Ronghong asked him to go for a walk together several times in his spare time, Guo Xiaocong said that he was busy with something at home, and said to Wang Ronghong that the two elderly people were not excited because of their passion, and Wang Ronghong was in a hurry, and there was no way to do it. She knew in her heart that if she continued like this, Zhang Yafeng's business report would definitely surpass herself. This caused her dissatisfaction and jealousy of Zhang Yafeng.

Wang Ronghong saw that there were only two people left in the dormitory, she and Jiang Aiwu said, there are a lot of scenes between you and Zhou Ping in the script of the team leader, didn't you watch you play against Bai Daqiang?

Jiang Aiwu said, I don't have many scenes with Bai Daqiang, we have two scenes in my spare time, and I see that he and Zhang Yafeng are always working overtime, so I am embarrassed to disturb Bai Daqiang again.

Wang Ronghong smiled coldly, they are so "hard-working", don't fake it.

Jiang Aiwu shook his head and said, that's not it, acting is acting, how can it come true!

There is still a week left before the professional report of the students, Guo Xiaocong uncharacteristically took the initiative to find Wang Ronghong to play and schedule, Wang Ronghong asked him with some puzzlement, are you busy with all those things? Are you afraid that you can't sit on the red bench and can't hang it on your face? Okay, the prodigal son will not change his money, and we will "rise" in the last week. However, we have to occupy the space in advance after dinner, or the rehearsal hall will always be occupied by Bai Daqiang and Zhang Yafeng.

Guo Xiaocong looked mysterious, don't worry, I have already found a place for the two of us to rehearse. Just around the corner next to the warehouse on the third floor of your dormitory where props are stored, I used old scenery cloth to surround a very large place, cleaned it up, pulled a light bulb, and prepared the coffee table, reclining chair, teapot and fan for Lu Gui's home.

After hearing this, Wang Ronghong said, Guo Xiaocong can't see that you are Sun Wukong's pregnancy - a belly monkey.

Guo Xiaocong made a silent gesture to Wang Ronghong, remembering not to let people know, it was a warehouse in the regiment, and no one was allowed to enter. We said that we would start at seven o'clock in the evening, and I would go first to turn on the lights, and we would quietly go separately.

Wang Ronghong never dreamed that the main reason for Guo Xiaocong's business report to make a 180-degree turn was. That day, when Director Ma Chuan rehearsed Lu Gui and Lu Shiping for Guo Xiaocong and Wang Ronghong, Wang Ronghong asked the costume master to find her an old-fashioned cardigan in order to find the feeling of the actor on the stage, the gown was worn on Wang Ronghong's body and was fat and big, Wang Ronghong could see the white chest and the red bra inside when he bent down slightly, Guo Xiaocong's eyes were straight, and Director Ma Chuan criticized him several times for not being mentally focused and not understanding the character of Lu Gui. also praised Wang Ronghong for his good understanding of the role of Lu Shiping, and let Guo Xiaocong and Wang Ronghong play against each other to find a feeling.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the two came to the set props warehouse on the third floor as scheduled, Wang Ronghong did not forget that Guo Xiaocong asked her to wear the big costume that she rehearsed during the day, and she had a sense of the scene.

As soon as he sat down to talk, Guo Xiaocong was a little absent-minded, his eyes did not leave the place on Wang Ronghong's chest, and the lines that had already been memorized were always eaten "screws" without the last sentence. Wang Ronghong entered the role from the beginning, but more and more found that something was wrong, the woman's feeling in this regard is accurate, Wang Ronghong subconsciously lifted the collar of the placket up and stood up and said, the lines are wrong, according to the scene rehearsed by Director Ma Chuan during the day, let's go and schedule!

Guo Xiaocong stood up suddenly, pulled Wang Ronghong tightly in his arms, and said breathlessly, Ronghong, you are too beautiful, your skin is so white, let me kiss you! After speaking, before Wang Ronghong could react, his mouth had already sucked Wang Ronghong. Wang Ronghong was so nervous that she trembled, and finally leaned softly on Guo Xiaocong's body.

Guo Aiwu understands the role of Fanyi very slowly, and has never entered the state of the role. But she worked very hard, put all her effort into memorizing her lines, and even memorized the words of her opponent Zhou Puyuan. People can't look good, Zhou Puyuan's actor Ji Sibei doesn't look at the image is not outstanding or even premature, but his understanding of the script of "Thunderstorm" is thorough and profound. can even tell the story of Cao Yu's other two dramas "Sunrise" and "Pekingese" completely, which makes Jiang Aiwu admire it so much, and even admires it a little, maybe because of her frequent contact with dramas, she doesn't think Ji Si's image is so bad, anyway, she thinks it's quite kind to listen to Ji Si's Tianjin dialect, well, and really good.

After Jiang Aiwu and Ji Si finished their lines for the first time, Ji Si said frankly, then, team leader, if we continue to face each other like this, we won't be able to enter the play a hundred times. You are like memorizing a text, and you are not the character of Fanyi at all.

Jiang Aiwu asked, then how do you say you can get into the role?

Ji Si said unceremoniously that an actor must first familiarize himself with the script, and then analyze the character you play in the play, analyze the background she is in, the relationship with other characters in the play, and at least write a personal biography of the character.

Jiang Aiwu was a little dizzy by Ji Si's words, I also worked hard and memorized the lines of the opponent actors, it seems that the kung fu was used in the wrong place.

Ji Si saw that Jiang Aiwu still didn't understand what he meant, so he took out a thick pile of manuscript paper from the plastic clip, Captain, this is my understanding of the script of "Thunderstorm", Zhou Puyuan's character autobiography and his relationship with other people in the play, just for your reference, your valuable opinions!

Jiang Aiwu took over Ji Si's thick materials, I really didn't expect that it would take so much effort to play a role, I must go back and study hard and read carefully.

Ji Si took out an envelope from his pocket, and said with a shy expression, "That's what I want to express, you must keep it secret for me when you go back and read it!"

Jiang Aiwu was a little surprised, could it be that Ji Si wrote a courtship letter with a good impression of him? Thinking that in addition to having contact with Ji Si during this rehearsal, he didn't have much contact with Ji Si on weekdays, and for some reason prompted him to have such an idea. Jiang Aiwu was not flustered, she had experienced too many such things in the rural educated youth point, in addition to the classmates of the educated youth point, the letter written to her was also the son of the team secretary and the son of the county party secretary were all rejected by her in a reasonable and restrained manner, facing Ji Si to work together for a long time in the future, she couldn't let him see herself in an embarrassing state in the future, not to mention that she was the captain of the cadet team, once it was passed out, it would not be good for anyone.

Jiang Aiwu is worthy of being a cadre, she said to Ji Si, some old comrades in the regiment reported to Secretary Cao, saying that someone in our cadet team is in love, do you know who it is?

Ji Si looked surprised, then, I don't know about this, our cadet team is hurrying up to prepare the business report, did the old comrades in the regiment misunderstand?

Jiang Aiwu said that where there is wind, there is rain. The regiment ordered the trainees to fall in love before they became regular, and if they found that they were in love, they would return to their original units. Ji Si, you also helped me look at the point, and when I found out about this situation, I told me in time, as the captain of the cadets, I have the responsibility to persuade them, and it is a pity that I was finally admitted to the repertory troupe and was dismissed. After speaking, she shook the letter that Ji Si gave her in her hand, but Ji Si didn't care about these and just nodded and said, Okay, I will definitely help you keep an eye on it, and report it to you in time if there is a situation, this is too much, I have become an underground worker.

Ji Si is a typical nerd character, he didn't feel that Jiang Aiwu was knocking on him to remind him, but was seriously completing the task given to him by Jiang Aiwu. Ji Si was smart, he calculated that there were only 4 targets left in the cadet team except for him and Jiang Aiwu. Once when Ji Si was reading the newspaper in the communication room, he heard Master Fan in the communication room say to him, Xiao Guo and Xiao Wang of the college team really worked hard, and they went to the warehouse on the third floor every night to play against each other, and it didn't end until ten o'clock, Xiao Ji never saw you working overtime!

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Ji Siwei immediately told Jiang Aiwu about this situation, but then he thought about what to do if Master Fan was dizzy and looked at the wrong person, this was the first task that Jiang Aiwu gave him, he must not make a mistake, in order to ensure that there is no mistake, he must see it with his own eyes.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Ji Si came to the communication room, picked up the newspaper and read it, his eyes staring at the door leading to the warehouse on the third floor through the window of the communication room. Just after 7 o'clock, Guo Xiaocong walked over from the men's dormitory, and when he was about to go up the stairs, he turned his head back and forth to see if anyone had found it. 5 minutes later, Wang Ronghong walked out, she didn't wear leather shoes but only a pair of cloth shoes upstairs, there was a faint light on the third floor, it was difficult to find if you didn't look carefully.

Ji Si simply took off his shoes and walked up barefoot, and the sound of the two talking came from the "rehearsal room" set up by the set film:

Guo Xiaocong asked, Rong Hong, how did I feel when I kissed you for the first time?

Wang Ronghong said that at first, I was nervous and didn't feel anything, but then I felt very good in retrospect, what about you?

Guo Xiaocong said, I thought at the time, if there is a way to hang your mouth on my mouth for a long time!

Wang Ronghong said, you can really figure it out, why aren't you so excited about kissing now?

Guo Xiaocong hurriedly said, there are, there are. In the future, if you come here at night, don't wear pants, how troublesome, just wear a skirt, you don't even have to wear underwear, how convenient! Look at you and look nervous, relax and no one will know.

Wang Ronghong hesitated a little, or forget it today, but I am the eldest girl who is said to be on the sedan chair, don't make an accident.

Guo Xiaocong said, don't worry, my classmate is a gynecologist, and she said that lesbians are the safest after menstruation, what is the insurance period.

After a period of silence, Wang Ronghong said in a low voice, Xiao Cong, you hurt me lightly.

Guo Xiaocong comforted, relax, relax, how about getting in?

Wang Ronghong gasped and said, I feel the neck stalk......

Ji Si didn't listen any more, and hurriedly went downstairs, his lower body was a little strange, and he had a spring dream at night.

Ji Si felt that there was a difference between men and women after all, and he couldn't report what he saw and heard to Jiang Aiwu in person, so he had to write a note, and he personally saw Guo Xiaocong and Wang Ronghong building a "rehearsal room" with a landscape cloth in the warehouse on the third floor, saying obscene things and doing hooligan things, and hereby report to Captain Jiang.

Jiang Aiwu saw the note written by Ji Si and felt that Ji Si was ridiculously pedantic, including the letter to himself that time, which was actually his application to join the group.

The business report group of the cadet team attaches great importance to it, and a special assessment and evaluation team headed by director Ma Chuan has been set up.

The business reports of each group of the cadet team made Director Ma Chuan, Secretary Cao and the assessment team very satisfied. According to the ranking of the score ranking, Zhou Ping played by Bai Daqiang and Sifeng played by Zhang Yafeng ranked first, Zhou Puyuan played by Ji Si and Fanyi played by Jiang Aiwu ranked second, Lu Gui played by Guo Xiaocong and Lu Shiping played by Wang Ronghong ranked third, and there was only 1.5 points between the second and third places.

Director Ma Chuan said to Secretary Cao that the students' performances were wonderful, each with its own merits, and our troupe was terrifying and hopeful.

After the assessment, it was Saturday, Bai Daqiang decided to go to the "Dongsheng Grouting Bag" shop next to the group for dinner to treat himself, and then go to Director Ma Chuan's house to return those foreign drama masterpieces, and by the way, see what else Director Ma Chuan's family needs help with.

When he was about to get to the grouting bag shop, Zhang Yafeng rode a Phoenix bicycle and caught up from behind, Daqiang, where are you? I went to the men's dormitory just now to find you.

Bai Daqiang said, the business assessment has achieved good results, I am ready to go to the grouting bag shop to treat myself, do you have something to do with me?

Zhang Yafeng jumped off the bicycle and achieved good results, which is the result of our joint efforts, why didn't you call me to eat steamed buns?

Bai Daqiang's face was flushed when he was asked, and he thought for a long time and said, I want to invite you to the restaurant to have a meal, and go to the bun shop to eat steamed buns, drink porridge and eat pickles.

Zhang Yafeng sneered twice, pull it down Bai Daqiang, I can't see the little Jiujiu in your stomach, you are afraid of spending money, and the old man who rides a tricycle can't calculate you.

Bai Daqiang is even more unable to get off the stage, don't listen to their nonsense.

Zhang Yafeng said, seriously, it's just right that you didn't eat. My dad went to a meeting, and when he heard that I had won the first place in the business assessment, he asked me to go to the guest house for dinner in the evening, and specifically instructed me to invite you to participate.

Bai Daqiang was a little surprised and said, I won't go, your father is such a big official, let alone eat when I see it, I'm scared and full.

Zhang Yafeng said unhappily, you are really, what a big official and a small official, in my eyes he is my father, go, my mother is also here, just the four of us, my mother also wants to see what Zhou Ping looks like who is playing against her daughter, you carry me. After speaking, he pushed the bicycle in front of Bai Daqiang, looking non-negotiable.

Bai Daqiang had a little impression of Zhang Yafeng's parents, on the first day of registration, at the door of the repertory troupe, the tricycle he and Wang Ronghong rented almost hit the jeep Zhang Yafeng was sitting in, which made Zhang Yafeng's mother unhappy, and the stern and indifferent eyes under the military hat were unforgettable.

When Zhang Yafeng led Bai Daqiang to his parents, his mother Liu Shuqing changed her reserved and indifferent face in the past, stared at Bai Daqiang carefully, and then slapped her face and laughed and said, Lao Zhang, look at how Yafeng's colleague looks exactly like when you were young, it really looks like a mold carved out.

Zhang Ye was also observing Bai Daqiang, he seemed to see himself when he was young, but he was not as straightforward as Liu Shuqing, he just nodded and said with a smile, a little like, a little like. Yafeng, haven't you introduced what your colleague is called?

Bai Daqiang stood there straight like a soldier and said, Uncle, my name is Bai Daqiang, and I was admitted to the repertory troupe with Yafeng.

Zhang Ye patted his head, I remembered, we met at the door of the repertory troupe on the day of registration...... Haha, don't sit down.

Zhang Yafeng stepped forward and took Bai Daqiang's schoolbag off his shoulder, what kind of treasure are you still refusing to put down.

Bai Daqiang was a little embarrassed, this was borrowing director Ma Chuan's book, and he was going to return it to him.

Zhang Yafeng continued, leave me a few books to read.

Liu Shuqing said to the waiter, let's serve the food, there are four of us.

Zhang Ye asked Bai Daqiang to sit beside him, and the waiter opened a bottle of Wuliangye and poured a glass for Zhang Ye and Bai Daqiang respectively. A scent came to my nose. Bai Daqiang said, uncle, I can't drink liquor.

Zhang Yafeng hurriedly said, Bai Daqiang, don't pretend, you have the largest amount of alcohol among the male students, drink it, this is a good wine, you smell a lot of wine.

Liu Shuqing asked the waiter to open a bottle of Tonghua red wine, Xiaobai, you must not be polite, this wine must be drunk, I am happy to make an exception today without a drop of wine!

Zhang Ye picked up the wine glass, Xiaobai, your aunt is right, today is the celebration wine to congratulate you and Yafeng on winning the first place in the business assessment. After finishing a glass of wine, drink half a glass.

Liu Shuqing hurriedly said, Lao Zhang, you take it easy, you forget your body when you are happy. My red wine is also dry.

Bai Daqiang stood up and held the wine glass in both hands, and said repeatedly, thank you uncle, thank you aunt!

Zhang Yafeng looked at Liu Shuqing with a wine bottle and asked for her mother's opinion, Zhang Ye pointed to the cup and said, full, full, I won't drink more than three glasses of wine.

Liu Shuqing said, let's go, your dad is happy today, I know it in my heart.

When each dish came up, Zhang Ye said while holding the dish to Bai Daqiang, eat more, eat more. You eat in the canteen on weekdays, and you can't buy these good things if you have money, and the place now even requires a ticket for tofu.

Bai Daqiang really opened his eyes today, he didn't expect ordinary pork to be able to cook so many kinds of dishes, as for those seafood high-end dishes, he had never seen let alone eaten them, but fortunately, every dish was served, and the waiter reported the name of the dish. He knew that the bowl of vermicelli thinner than the countryside was called "Buddha jumping over the wall", the one that was several circles larger than the clam and half the shell was called "abalone", he knew both shrimp and sea cucumbers, and he couldn't remember the other dishes, and he didn't want to remember, remembering what was the use, and he couldn't afford to eat it on weekdays......

Liu Shuqing held the wine glass with a red face and said, let me say a few words, Yafeng doesn't like to study since he was a child, he loves to jump and like literature and art, and now he has been admitted to the repertory troupe as he wished, and this time the student has won the first place in the assessment, which shows that Yafeng has talent in this area, this road is right, people make the best use of their talents, Xiaobai hopes that you will learn from each other and discuss more with Yafeng in business, you have an image of a worker, peasant and soldier, and you will definitely be a pillar on the stage in the future, cheers!

Bai Daqiang stood up, thank you for your encouragement!

Zhang Yafeng poured wine for Liu Shuqing and said, my mother is okay now, speaking of a set of things, she is worthy of being the lady of the house!

Zhang Ye took over, you forgot that your mother is an active member of the whole hospital to study Chairman Mao's works, and she often goes out to make reports, and I, the political commissar, are also willing to bow down!

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the celebration banquet for four people ended.

Zhang Ye and Liu Shuqing stood at the door of the guest house until Bai Daqiang gradually walked away carrying Zhang Yafeng's bicycle.

Liu Shuqing said to Zhang Ye, how is Lao Zhang, what is your impression of Xiaobai?

Zhang Ye looked at Liu Shuqing for a long time, and said, I don't understand what you mean.

Three months after the business assessment of the cadet team, all 6 trainees became regulars and became official actors of the repertory troupe.

The spring breeze of reform and opening up swept the land of China, and the national administrative region was the first to carry out the reform of the city, and the original Ludong area was changed to Ludong City, in order to meet the needs of attracting investment and opening up to the outside world, the regional repertory troupe was abolished and the Ludong City Song and Dance Troupe was formed.

The repertory troupe retains only a small number of stage artists and administrative personnel, and the original troupe personnel are divided into two destinations, the cadres are assigned by the Personnel Bureau to the organs or enterprises and institutions, and the workers are assigned to factories and mines by the Labor Bureau.

The cadet corps is a worker, all of whom are assigned to various factories. On the day the news was announced, Zhang Yafeng returned home.

Zhang Ye was the only one at home at home, and he had just returned from a meeting.

Zhang Yafeng saw that Liu Shuqing hadn't gotten off work yet, so he first told his father about the dissolution of the repertory troupe, Dad, now is the critical moment, you hurry up and talk to the city leaders, or you will assign me to the factory.

Zhang Ye took out a handkerchief and asked his daughter to wipe the sweat on her forehead, how old are you, Yafeng, you can't hold your breath like a child when you encounter something. What's wrong with being assigned to the factory, why can't my daughter go if others can go, you forgot what Chairman Mao said, the working class is the leading class. Zhang Yafeng said coquettishly, you are willing to let your daughter wear greasy work clothes and work three shifts in the workshop with the roar of the machine, and I will not go to say anything.

Zhang Ye was really a little anxious when he saw Yafeng, my daughter is a blessed person, this time my father will not arrange a job for you in Ludong City, let's go to the provincial capital to find you a job.

Zhang Yafeng looked unhappy, everyone is in a hurry to be like this, you are still in the mood to joke.

Zhang Ye scratched his daughter's nose with his hand, and she was small and had a big temper. Dad is not joking with you, I went to a meeting this time, and the organization asked me to retire half a year early and live in a dry rest house, but I can take a child with me, won't your problem be solved?

Zhang Yafeng's face immediately turned cloudy and clear, and he dragged Zhang Ye's arm, all thanks to his father's blessing!

Liu Shuqing opened the door and walked in, what is the blessing of my father, there is no part of my mother!

Zhang Yafeng pulled Liu Shuqing onto the sofa and told Liu Shuqing about the dissolution of the troupe and the early retirement of her father to move to the provincial capital to work in a rest house.

After Liu Shuqing listened, her mind hadn't turned for a while.

Zhang Ye said to Liu Shuqing, I will have time to accompany you in the future, go around the country, and make up for the time I owed you before.

Liu Shuqing stood up after hearing this, I went to the kitchen to cook, and the big mess of moving was really frightening.

After dinner, Zhang Ye watched "News Network" alone in the living room, and Zhang Yafeng called Liu Shuqing to his room.

Liu Shuqing looked at her daughter and asked, baby daughter, what's so mysterious?

Zhang Yafeng said, Mom, I didn't want to tell you about this matter so early, my dad suddenly retired and moved to the provincial capital, I can't help but talk about it!

Liu Shuqing looked at her daughter with both eyes, is she talking about a boyfriend?

Zhang Yafeng nodded, and said in her heart, no wonder people say that there is a telepathy between mother and daughter.

Liu Shuqing asked tightly, is that Bai Daqiang who is acting with you?

Zhang Yafeng lowered his head and said, yes, Mom, you are too powerful, I can't hide anything from you.

Liu Shuqing smiled, your mother can't rub sand in her eyes, when you talk about the unit, the name Bai Daqiang appears most frequently. Mom had already noticed it. How long has it been, has it been picked out?

Zhang Yafeng said that it has been more than half a year, and everyone in the group knows it. Guo Xiaocong and Wang Ronghong of the cadet team talked about it, Jiang Aiwu and Ji Si were also together all day long, saying to the outside world that they would review their homework together to prepare for the university entrance examination, and go to the grave to burn newspapers and fool the ghosts. Who knows!

Liu Shuqing asked her daughter, you tell your mother the truth, do you have a deep relationship with him? Do you know the situation at home, what do your parents do?

Zhang Yafeng said that his family was in the countryside, his father was the secretary of the commune party committee, and he died in the line of duty to fight floods and rescue people, and he and his mother rarely talked about his family.

Liu Shuqing thought about it, let's do it, I have a comrade-in-arms who works in the county of Bai Daqiang's hometown, learn about the situation of their family, and then make a decision.

Zhang Yafeng said, Mom, don't let my dad know about this in advance. We must hurry up, the plan for the diversion of personnel in the regiment is about to come down!

Zhang Yafeng returned to the group and was about to go to Bai Daqiang to discuss the matter of the two people, Wang Ronghong told her that Yafeng, Daqiang received a call from home in the middle of the night last night, I don't know what happened, I took the morning bus home this morning! Yafeng, why don't you take leave to go to Daqiang's house to have a look? Zhang Yafeng said, I know.

She knew that she had no reason to ask for leave to go to Bai Daqiang's house, what was the matter with such an unjustifiable name? It is necessary to find out what is really going on in Daqiang's house.

After the roll call, Zhang Yafeng rode his bicycle to the post and telecommunications bureau building next to the regiment and began to make long-distance calls to find people familiar with Daqiang, and after more than an hour, he finally got through to Bai Daqiang's classmate, the director of the county transportation bureau.

Zhang Yafeng asked urgently, Director Gong, what happened to Daqiang's family?

Director Gong said on the phone, Yafeng, don't worry, I just came back from the county hospital, Daqiang's mother had a heart attack in the middle of the night, Yang Yue'e, the women's director of Daqiang's godmother village, called me, and I sent a car from the bureau to take Daqiang's mother to the hospital.

Zhang Yafeng breathed a sigh of relief, is Daqiang taking care of his mother alone?

Director Gong said that there is still Director Yang Yue'e, Daqiang's godmother. The doctor said that the recovery of this disease is very slow, and it takes a while to accompany the patient, and Daqiang is definitely not good alone, and I am also thinking to see if there is any other way.

Zhang Yafeng said movingly, thank you Director Gong, you really saved Daqiang's mother's life, Daqiang is really blessed to make you such an iron buddy.

Director Gong said, don't treat me as an outsider, let's talk about it first, I'll have a meeting and call right away.

Zhang Yafeng sat on the chair in the business hall of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, feeling very sad, serving the sick number is what a big guy does, she is anxious and heartbroken, it seems that she and Daqiang have been connected emotionally.

Zhang Yafeng came home in the evening and told his mother about Daqiang's mother being seriously ill and hospitalized. After saying that, he was already in tears.

Liu Shuqing was reluctant to see her daughter's sad appearance, wiped her tears for her daughter and asked, what are you going to do?

Zhang Yafeng seems to have made up his mind, Mom, I am going to go to the county tomorrow to take care of his mother with Daqiang, people need help the most in this difficult time, not to mention that I am his girlfriend.

Liu Shuqing paused for a while and said, My daughter's kind-hearted mother supports you, you take a look at the situation at his home by the way, and his mother will be grateful to you for a lifetime. However, what do you say to the group?

Zhang Yafeng said that the reason is that my father is going to be transferred to the provincial capital to move and organize things.

Liu Shuqing nodded and said that this reason is sufficient.

Zhang Yafeng came to the county hospital, to everyone's surprise, not to visit and leave, but to ask the director of the transportation bureau to arrange a room in the county guest house next to the hospital, which looked like a long-term camp.

Bai Daqiang's godmother Yang Yue'e saw Zhang Yafeng's arrival, and she was very moved by holding her hand, exaggerating that Yafeng is not only very beautiful, but also has better eyes, and her godson has really burned Gao Xiang for eight lifetimes to find such a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law, who is a hundred times stronger than the four phoenixes in the play.

Bai Daqiang said to Yang Yue'e, godmother, you can go back and have a good rest, the past two days have burned you down, and there are many things waiting for you at home and in the village.

Yang Yue'e said, I will come back in two or three days after returning to the village, and bring some change of clothes by the way.

Bai Daqiang said, no need, I will ask you to come back when you need it, Yafeng couldn't leave for a while, and the director of the palace booked a room for her in the county guest house.

Yang Yue'e asked, the county party committee guest house? Heck, speaking of guest houses, when your mother was a waitress in the county party committee guest house, she was so beautiful that the whole county party committee compound was famous.

Bai Daqiang asked, my mother used to be a waitress in the county party committee guest house, why have I never heard her say it?

Yang Yue'e said, this is all a matter of how many years of tangerine peel and rotten grain, don't talk about it, I have to catch the bus.

On the third day when Xue Meiping was conscious and could communicate with others, she looked at Zhang Yafeng who was running before and after running in the ward, with a smile on her face, pointed at Zhang Yafeng with her finger, and muttered in her mouth, wind, it's wind.

Bai Daqiang was so excited that he cried with joy, and said softly, my mother recognized people, and my mother woke up. Dr. Shao led a group of medical staff to walk in, Dr. Shao is the attending doctor of the cardiovascular department, she walked to Xue Meiping's bed, looked at the various indicators displayed by the instrument next to her, flipped through the records of the nurses on duty at night, and wrote the doctor's instructions on the medical record and said to Bai Daqiang, the patient is recovering well, but he still needs to recuperate for a period of time, and he should not talk less and especially not be excited.

Xue Meiping recovered to the sixth day, and with the support of people, she could move a few steps on the ground, she looked at Zhang Yafeng who was sweating profusely, she was very upset, girl, you are so beautiful, and you are the child of a high-ranking cadre, serving me in the ward, an old woman in the countryside, I am really wronged by you!

Zhang Yafeng was very happy when she heard this, her hard work these days has finally been recognized, Auntie, you are too polite, all this is what I am willing. I look at Da Qiang, not the family. I heard Aunt Yang say that Auntie used to work as a waitress in the county party committee guest house and was a flower in the county party committee compound.

Xue Meiping smiled, don't listen to her nonsense, it's all the old imperial calendar in the past.

Zhang Yafeng said, Auntie, my father has worked in your county for four or five years.

Xue Meiping looked at Zhang Yafeng with wide eyes in surprise, the representative of the left and the army......

Zhang Yafeng said with certainty, yes, my father's name is Zhang Ye, and he was the deputy political commissar of the division at that time.

Xue Meiping let out a long sigh and fainted......

Xue Meiping was admitted to the intensive care unit.

The repertory troupe called Bai Daqiang and Zhang Yafeng to go back to the troupe to go through the relevant procedures, and if they don't go back, they will be treated as resignation.

20 days later, the original sign at the entrance of the repertory troupe was replaced by the Ludong City Song and Dance Troupe, and two square signs were hung on the left side of the entrance of the song and dance troupe, one read "Mandarin Duck" song and dance hall, and the other wrote "South Fist and North Leg" video hall.

The cadets of the Drama Troupe also went their separate ways.

Zhang Yafeng went to the provincial capital with his parents and was arranged to become an employee of the army in the film team of the cultural station.

Jiang Aiwu and Ji Siwei went to a medical university in Beijing.

Guo Xiaocong and Wang Ronghong contracted the dance hall and video hall.

Bai Daqiang took the initiative to ask to return to the county seat in order to take care of his sick mother. He entered the county cultural center as a worker.

Five years have passed imperceptibly.

After Zhang Ye's family moved to the dry rest house, the pace of life slowed down, and every day was very regular, Zhang Ye and Liu Shuqing went home on time at 7 o'clock to watch "News Network" after taking a walk every night, and what did not go well at home was Zhang Yafeng's marriage.

Zhang Yafeng believed that he couldn't get along with Bai Daqiang, and the matter of breaking them up rushed together, and he didn't even have time to talk about tears and sadness, and the two of them separated like this, especially when he heard Bai Daqiang and what she said, Yafeng, my mother said that she must die when she sees you again. She tasted the taste of knocking out her teeth and swallowing it in her stomach.

Zhang Yafeng sometimes got off work late when he showed movies, and asked the unit for a single dormitory. Zhang Yafeng's daily life has become two points and one line, dormitory-workstation, and go home on Sunday to get a change of clothes and have dinner.

Zhang Ye and Liu Shuqing didn't feel any discomfort at first, as time went by, especially when the two of them walked in the courtyard and met their neighbors and Zhang Ye's comrades-in-arms, they asked when they were going to be grandpa and grandma, and if their daughter got married and didn't invite us to drink wedding wine?

One of Zhang Ye's old superiors met him and put it on the root of his ear and said, Xiao Zhang, his daughter's marriage is a major event and should not be taken lightly. My second daughter found a master at the age of 38, and the other party was still a second marriage. Now there are two kinds of older young women in society, one is beautiful and dazzling, and the other is "a student and a science and engineering girl".

After Zhang Ye heard this, it was no less than sprinkling a handful of salt on the wound, and he had to pretend to be smiling on the surface, his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and fate is not enough, fate is not enough.

Liu Shuqing knows that her daughter's "stubborn temper" is coming up again, and she always picks tricks to cook her favorite meals when her daughter comes home on Sunday, and always says the same thing when she sends her daughter to the door, Yafeng's boyfriend's matter has to be hurried, your father and I are looking forward to hugging our grandson......

Zhang Yafeng is always tepid, and he is talking about it and will tell you, this sentence has been said for nearly 5 years.

On Sunday morning, Zhang Yafeng received a call from Liu Shuqing, Yafeng, I must come back for dinner today, your father bought fresh mackerel in the morning market, the leeks are head knife leeks, wrapped in mackerel dumplings to eat, this is your favorite food.

Zhang Yafeng felt like he was about to drool, okay, I must go home. Mom, my dad has a birthday next week, I'm going to buy my dad a high-end suit, he has worn a military uniform all his life, it's time to change it, you measure it and tell me.

Liu Shuqing was very excited, girl, you just have this filial piety, what are you doing with that money, I'll tell your dad when I go back, he doesn't know what happiness looks like.

Zhang Yafeng came to the International Trade Building next to the cultural station, wanting to pick out a brightly colored cashmere sweater with a dark blue suit for his father. Once she happened to see her father's eyebrows were white, she felt a sour feeling in her heart, she was in her thirties, and she couldn't let her parents worry about her anymore, her greatest wish and happiness, she knew better than anyone else.

Zhang Yafeng was looking around the cashmere sweater counter, and someone gently patted her shoulder and shouted, Yafeng.

Zhang Yafeng looked back, a fashionable strange woman standing behind her, light yellow shawl hair, thin eyebrows, the most popular orange-red lipstick on her lips, and a very familiar man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood next to her.

That fashionable woman is Jiang Aiwu, what's wrong with Yafeng, I don't even know a person who has lived in a dormitory for many years?

Zhang Yafeng was surprised and delighted, it turned out to be the two of you? What elixir did you eat and became a fairy descending to earth.

Jiang Aiwu is still the same as before, not as mysterious as you said, how can the big face of Fanyi be compared with the melon seed face of the four phoenixes.

Ji Si interjected on the side, well, the chassis is good.

Zhang Yafeng stretched out his thumb to Ji Si, Ji Si is the most skillful man in the world, and asked the young people who joined the league to take down the secretary of the Youth League Committee. You did it quietly like this, and you didn't invite me to drink the wine.

Jiang Aiwu explained that when the two of us were admitted to university, it was just in time for the dissolution of the repertory troupe, and the members of the cadet team went their separate ways. We were admitted to a medical university in Beijing, and after graduation, he did not return to Tianjin and followed me to the provincial hospital. In order to line up for the unit and divide the house, the two of us hurriedly registered, and when we got married, we went to Tianjin and our hometown. How are you now, still single?

Zhang Yafeng said seriously, he got over early, found a son of a high-ranking cadre, and gave birth to a son.

Ji Si smiled, Zhang Yafeng, you are really good, don't be funny, then why haven't you heard of it when you are really married.

Zhang Yafeng smiled when he saw Ji Si's serious appearance and said, In this way, you first ask me to make up for the two of you to make up the wine, and then I will tell you what kind of object I have found.

Jiang Aiwu immediately took over, hey, let's patronize and talk, there is really a dinner tonight, you must participate.

Zhang Yafeng said, I won't go, others will ask you to take me, and I will become a eater.

Jiang Aiwu said, if you know who is having a treat tonight, you can't let you go, tonight is Bai Daqiang and Wang Ronghong.

Zhang Yafeng was shocked, how did the two of them get together?

Ji Si shook his head, well, this dog can't change eating. After Guo Xiaocong and Wang Ronghong contracted the dance hall and video hall in the group, the business was very hot, and the man with money became bad, Xiao Cong and a woman who often came to the dance hall got better, this woman's Ma boyfriend was from the Public Security Bureau, and the video hall put a yellow belt to let people sue them, and finally the Public Security Bureau came to check, the song and dance hall and the video hall were even served in a pot, just in time to crack down, Xiao Cong was sentenced to 15 years, Wang Ronghong couldn't stay in the city, returned to the county, took the initiative to find Daqiang, and served Daqiang's mother in the hospital for two months. And they came together.

After Zhang Yafeng listened, she had mixed feelings in her heart, she remembered a sentence from Lu Shiping in "Thunderstorm", this is all fate, this is all unfair fate!

Jiang Aiwu saw that Yafeng was stunned, knowing that she had cut off contact with all the people in the repertory troupe over the years, she said that Daqiang and Ronghong have a 3-year-old son who always has a fever, and the county and city diagnoses are inconsistent.

Zhang Yafeng asked eagerly, is there any result of the examination?

Ji Si said that according to the main indicators of the current laboratory examination, there should be no big problem, and there are still a few indicators before the diagnosis can be confirmed.

Jiang Aiwu looked at his watch and interrupted Ji Si's words, don't say anything, see you at Fuhai Restaurant at 6 o'clock in the evening, and start talking about the old days early.

Zhang Yafeng must attend tonight's party, she wants to ask Bai Daqiang, what was the reason why her mother resolutely rejected her at the beginning?

Zhang Yafeng hung up the phone at home and told her mother that she would not go home for dinner tonight.

Liu Shuqing asked anxiously, my daughter's mackerel dumplings are almost finished, your father rode for an hour to buy them at Fisherman's Wharf, why is it so important not to go to the dinner?

Zhang Yafeng said, Mom, fry it in oil tomorrow morning and make a fried mackerel dumpling, I like to eat it even more!

Liu Shuqing asked again, is it a man or a woman who invites you to dinner?

Zhang Yafeng knew the intention of her mother's questioning, and didn't want to talk to her any longer, so she directly said that it was a male guest, and it would be safe to go home later, and the dinner would be at the Fuhai Restaurant not far from our house.

Bai Daqiang didn't expect Jiang Aiwu to surprise him on the phone because of Zhang Yafeng's arrival.

The moment Bai Daqiang and Zhang Yafeng met, they looked at each other and stared for a long time, and the emotional waves set off in their hearts were surging and echoing for a long time-

Wang Ronghong, who was standing on the side, noticed this, and stepped forward to hug Zhang Yafeng and said the line at the end of "Thunderstorm" "Sifeng, let my mother see you": "Thunderstorm" is really a classic, and a line will bring everyone back to the time of the cadet team.

Bai Daqiang sat in the position of the main escort. said to Ji Si, the position of this big guest should be our cadet captain, but if she doesn't drink, you can be the representative!

Ji Si hurriedly said, Daqiang, you are really good, then you are guests in the provincial capital, we should be the friendship of the host, Daqiang, you should be a guest. As he spoke, he went to pull Bai Daqiang.

Bai Daqiang's son didn't know what was going on, so he cried in fright, and beat Ji Si with his little hands, you are bad, you are bad, you are not allowed to beat my father! It caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Wang Ronghong hugged his son and said, Ji Si, don't let it go. We came to see our son this time, thanks to you and Sister Aiwu, we found a good doctor, and we don't know how to thank us.

Jiang Aiwu pushed Zhang Yafeng to the second guest position on Bai Daqiang's left and said, let Daqiang invite this meal, I don't know how to say that Wang Ronghong also stuffed a red envelope of 20,000 yuan into my bag, which is really a desecration of our friendship.

Wang Ronghong was told that he couldn't get off the stage, and muttered, I didn't give it to you, I asked you to take care of those doctors.

Bai Daqiang asked the waiter to open the cup of Moutai 2 taels and 2 taels he brought and slowly poured a glass, and a bottle of expensive French dry red wine had already been poured into the decanter.

Two hot dishes were served, fried prawns in sugar and braised sea cucumber with green onions. Bai Daqiang picked up his wine glass and made a toast, today is a big day, the first glass of happy meeting wine, I never dreamed that our cadet team except for Guo Xiaocong would meet here again, cheers!

Put down the glass, Bai Daqiang said to Jiang Aiwu and Zhang Yafeng, the ratio of you drinking red wine and white wine is 2:1.

Wang Ronghong covered the cup with her hand, I didn't dare to drink, there was no one to take care of the child after drinking too much.

Bai Daqiang said, it's rare to be so happy today, I know that 3 glasses of red wine is no problem with your amount of wine.

Jiang Aiwu persuaded him easily, drink some Ronghong, it's not easy for everyone to get together, I'll check you for three cups!

Wang Ronghong slapped the table and shouted loudly: The waiter is full!

Bai Daqiang picked up his glass and was about to say a toast again, but was interrupted by Jiang Aiwu, Daqiang, you are used to being a director in the village, let us all have a chance to speak today!

Zhang Yafeng was easy-going, the team leader was reasonable, don't be our turn to speak, drink too much and speak incoherently, and the words don't reach the meaning It seems that we are uneducated!

Jiang Aiwu picked up the cup and said, this second glass of wine, we wish Daqiang's son a thrilling illness, and wish the baby a speedy recovery!

Bai Daqiang was so happy that he said repeatedly, thank you, thank you for your blessings, my son Bai Xiaojun will grow up healthy and thriving with the care of your uncles and aunts! After speaking, he dried up the remaining half of the glass of liquor in one gulp.

Ji Si also followed suit, then lowered his head, and fell asleep on the table with a pale face.

Jiang Aiwu reproached and said that he couldn't change his impulsiveness in his life.

Zhang Yafeng picked up the wine glass, this glass of wine I hope everyone will come true, all are safe and healthy, and they will meet at least once a year, and no one is missing.

Everyone was unanimously in favor.

Jiang Aiwu put down his cup, this September is the 8th anniversary of the founding of our repertory troupe, and we all went to Daqiang Farmhouse Villa to celebrate and reminisce about the past.

Bai Daqiang said, I also set up a recitation association, all amateur recitation enthusiasts, let the members of the association and our cadet team recite on the same stage, the people are going to say it again this time, all of them are saying that there is no singing. Everyone laughed happily.

Ji Si was awakened by everyone's laughter, he rubbed his eyes and said I have a topic, then everyone has to tell the truth, we have the sprout of love, who will show it to each other first, what is the way of expression, it will be boring if you don't tell the truth.

Wang Ronghong was afraid that Ji Si would re-mention her and Guo Xiaocong's rush in the clothing room on the third floor and preemptively say, among Ji Si's male students, you are the sullen type, and you dare to write a courtship letter to the cadet captain.

Jiang Aiwu hurriedly said, this is wronged him, none of you may know, what he wrote to me was not a letter of courtship, but an application for joining the group.

Wang Ronghong hurriedly asked, then why did you sneak under the pillow?

Jiang Aiwu, at first, I also thought it was a courtship confession letter, afraid that others would know that it would have a bad impact on him.

Food and wine are exciting, and the past years are nostalgic. Wang Ronghong was affected by the emotions of everyone present, hurriedly fed his son, handed it to the waiter, and toasted the wine glass one by one, to make up for the less toasted wine-

Zhang Ye finished reading the evening news and was about to wash up and rest, Liu Shuqing said to him, Lao Zhang, it's so late, why hasn't Yafeng come back yet?

Zhang Ye said that the longer the time means, the more the two can talk, so don't worry about it.

Liu Shuqing insisted, I still can't rest assured, Yafeng's dinner is not far from our house, it's at the Fuhai Hotel, let's go over and have a look. The two of them went out of the door of the dry rest house, and it didn't take 10 minutes to arrive at the Fuhai Hotel, and they were about to ask the waiter in front of the front desk, when a little boy ran out and saw Zhang Ye and said, Hello grandpa!

The little boy's shout attracted Zhang Ye's attention, he looked at the little boy's chubby little face, felt so familiar and cordial, and the thought flashed in his mind, why does this child look so much like Bai Daqiang - Zhang Ye picked up the little boy and kissed him and said, the child really knows how to be polite, why don't you go home so late?

The little boy pointed with his little finger, and his father and mother ate inside.

The waiter at the front desk came over, and the child's father, Mr. Bai, was here to entertain guests, and it was estimated that it would end soon, so he was in room 108 next to him, and pushed open the door as he spoke.

Zhang Ye and Liu Shuqing stood at the door, the people in the room were amazed, Zhang Yafeng ran over, Dad, Mom, why are you here?

Wang Ronghong walked up to Zhang Ye and his wife, I am Wang Ronghong who is in the same dormitory with Yafeng, this is my son and Bai Daqiang, Xiaojun, come down and don't stain grandpa's clothes.

Xiaojun's two little hands tightly hugged Zhang Ye's neck and refused to let go, grandpa's beard was so prickly!

Zhang Yafeng introduced to his parents, Dad, Mom, these are all from our repertory troupe cadet team, do you have an impression?

Zhang Ye looked at everyone, there was an impression, an impression, but he couldn't name it. Pointing to Jiang Aiwu and asking, this is also from the cadet team?

Zhang Ye said a little embarrassed, people are old, their eyes and brains are useless, the two of us walked by here and broke in recklessly, you continue to reminisce, we won't bother!

Bai Daqiang walked up to Zhang Ye and his wife and said sincerely, Uncle and aunt finally met, we as juniors toast you with a glass of healthy and longevity wine!

Zhang Ye and his wife were very enthusiastic and no longer shirked.

Bai Daqiang held his wine glass and said respectfully, all the students of our drama troupe wish Uncle Zhang and Aunt Liu happiness and eternal youth in their old age!

Zhang Ye was very excited, and dried the liquor in the cup in one gulp, Liu Shuqing couldn't stop it if she wanted to, Lao Zhang, you never drink liquor, you can make an exception today!

Zhang Ye put down the cup and said, I saw the young man today, and I am much younger, so I am happy!

Liu Shuqing held a glass of water, children, I wish you a bright future with tea instead of wine!

Xiaojun staggered to Zhang Ye and his wife with an empty cup, wishing his grandfather and grandmother good health!

The audience was amused by Xiaojun's actions, Zhang Ye hugged him tightly excitedly, and made Xiaojun giggle with his beard.

Jiang Aiwu looked at his watch and said, Uncle and aunt, it's not early, you should go back and rest early, and we will discuss the reunion of the drama troupe and end it soon.

At 12 o'clock that night, Zhang Ye had a heart attack and had no signs of life when he was sent to the hospital.

Among Zhang Ye's relics, a yellowed diary was found, which was too old and the plastic skin was weathered and crumpled. This is the diary written by Zhang Ye to the three armies and two armies in Bohai County.

June 1

When I woke up in the morning, I found that the bedding on the bed was very messy, and strangely enough, there was a ball of blood on the white sheets, and there were two long hairs on the pillow. Xiao Xue, the waiter who cleaned my room full-time at the guest house, didn't see it, so I asked Bai Zhijian, the director of the guest house, to ask him to clean up the room. Bai Zhijian walked in with a large pile of bedding by himself, and while he cleaned up the room, he said in a voice as low as a mosquito, Xue Meiping took 10 days off.

June 4th

After work in the evening, I lay in bed and tried to remember what had happened last night.

Last night, a banquet was held at the county guest house, and the representatives of the two factions and the relevant personnel of the county toasted and congratulated me, and I did not refuse to come, drank too much, and was carried back to the room, and I fell on the bed and remembered to say a vague word, and asked the waiter to make a cup of tea and send it——

July 8th

I saw a ball of paper on the ground at the door, and when I opened it, it said, "I'm pregnant." The writing is crooked, and I recognize the words of the waiter Xue Meiping.

I thought about it for a moment, it could have happened when I had completely lost my memory, and it was strange that a person who had lost his memory could do such a thing.

July 10th

There are always more solutions than difficulties. If I want to solve this problem satisfactorily, I think of one person, and that is Bai Zhijian.

Bai Zhijian looks very delicate, with a fair face, very upright facial features, a bit of a small opera stage appearance, and the fly in the ointment is the lack of manly masculinity. The county gave him a monthly food subsidy of 12 yuan and 5 jiao, and the production brigade recorded his work every year according to the strongest labor force in the village.

I called Bai Zhijian to the office and poured him a glass of water myself, he stood straight in front of me like a soldier, and I asked him to sit on the sofa.

I said straight to the point, Xiaobai, what happened to Xiao Xue in my room, only you know.

Bai Zhijian lowered his head and his voice was like a mosquito, I, I didn't say anything to anyone, I dare to curse God.

I reassured him that you don't have to be nervous, I believe in you.

Bai Zhijian raised his head and looked at me and stood up, if you have any instructions, just give them, and I promise to complete the task successfully.

I pretended to be an understatement and said, I want to introduce Xiao Xue to you!

Bai Zhijian's eyes widened Looking at me, the shape of his mouth turned into a ○, and the sweat on his forehead flowed straight down.

The phone on the desk interrupted the conversation between us, and I said, don't worry, you can tell me when you go back and think about it.

August 1

Things went unexpectedly well, and Bai Zhijian and Xue Meiping will soon have a wedding.

December 31

When the work is over, I will leave Bohai County tomorrow, and in the evening I will clean up my things in my room, and on the table is the letter that Bai Zhijian wrote to me during the day, which is the first time he has written to me since he took up his post in the commune:

I heard that you are going back soon, so I'm sorry I can't go to the prefecture to see you off, but I will have a chance to see you later.

We have a good life after marriage, Xiao Xue gave birth to a son, and renewed the incense for our Bai family. Recently, I don't know why, Xiao Xue always had an unpleasant quarrel with me, and I quarreled when we met, I was afraid that others would say that my pride and arrogance had a bad impact, so I moved to a single dormitory in the commune, and went home once a month, and she couldn't find it if she wanted to quarrel-

After Zhang Yafeng took care of his father's funeral, he selectively copied a copy of the diary left by his father and sent it to Bai Daqiang.

Bai Daqiang wrote back to her after reading it, with only one sentence, but I didn't expect that the modern version of "Thunderstorm" happened to us.

Shandong Literature, Issue 6, 2024
