The previous article wrote the story of Wu Kuihai and Wei Wenliang's master and apprentice, mainly about how the master spoiled the apprentice to heaven. Today we will talk about how the apprentice Wei Wenliang honored the master, and there is both righteousness, warmth, and laughter in this story.
Wei Wenliang was born in a family of Qu Yi. His father, Wei Yashan, played three strings and became blind in his 20s due to health problems; Wei Wenliang's mother was an actor in the old Mandarin duck tune. In the old society, the vast majority of Quyi families were very poor, and the Wei family was no exception. When Wei Wenliang was 7 years old, he followed his parents to Kanto and sold art to survive.
In 1947, in Jinzhou, the family performed one by one. The little Wei Wenliang sang a passage of "Four Joys" that he learned from his mother. Don't look at Wei Wenliang's small people, but this section of singing is straight and round, and everyone shouts well. At this time, one of the people in the crowd of onlookers suddenly fell in love with this little boy and thought that he was a good material for crosstalk, so he moved the mind of the apprentice.
This man's name was Zhang Wenbin, and he was also from Beijing, and he made a living by speaking cross-talk, and at this time he was also living in the northeast. When the Wei family finished acting, Zhang Wenbin took the initiative to find the Wei couple to explain their willingness to accept apprentices. The Weis agreed, because they felt that it would be good for the children to have more skills for making a living in the future. This time, there was no "introduction of baodai" and no master-apprentice contract, because everyone was wandering and making a living, so everything was from Jane, and the Wei family invited Zhang Wenbin to eat a dumpling.
From the perspective of cross-talk, Zhang Wenbin is not famous, it is said that he is still a sea green, and his cross-talk skills are not high. But Zhang Wenbin has the advantage that he will know more and will also teach apprentices. The apprentice was smart, and the master would teach, so soon Wei Wenliang learned a few paragraphs, and he could really make money! This child's cross-talk gradually became a little more famous. Soon after, the steward of a "big shed" (a performance venue with a shed that can shield the wind and rain) found the Wei family and asked Wei Wenliang to perform at them. The Wei family and Zhang Wenbin couldn't ask for it, and they quickly responded. Sure enough, Wei Wenliang was on fire in the greenhouse!
To be honest, when children say crosstalk, as long as they have a little look, it is easy to have an effect, which is the advantage of children, and this is still the case today. At that time, Wei Wenliang not only looked coke and cute: a small man, a big head, and stood on a stool on stage to perform; and the several cross-talks he learned were still very porcelain, so the reaction from the stage was warm, and the baggage sounded. The audience loved the little guy so much that they named it "Little Monster". Bandui, who had seen Wei Wenliang's performance in the shed, also praised him, which showed that Wei Wenliang really had two brushes at that time.
Zhang Wenbin taught Wei Wenliang to talk to each other, and the Wei family in turn gave him back. Zhang Wenbin was a bare stick, so the Wei family rented a room next to the house he rented, and took care of his food, clothing, and housing. The Wei couple also saved money to marry Zhang Wenbin as a daughter-in-law.
Just when everyone felt that there was some hope and running in life, Zhang Wenbin suddenly fell ill, and soon became terminally ill. Seeing that Zhang Wenbin was not long dead, one thing made him unable to close his eyes for a long time, because he had no children under his knees. The Wei family understood Zhang Wenbin's thoughts, and before he died, Wei Wenliang prostrated his head three times on his knees and said, "You are my master and my father." I am your apprentice and your son! Zhang Wenbin closed his eyes when he heard this, and he smiled and smiled. Zhang Wenbin's affairs must have been handled by the Wei family, and Wei Wenliang played the banner as a son. This is the first time that parents have fulfilled their "firstborn filial piety" when they are still alive.
The Wei family returned to Tianjin, and then there was the rescue of Wei Wenliang's sister and brother in the previous article, which led to the story of Wu Kuihai's annulment to find a door to collect apprentices.
As for how Wu Kuihai spoiled the apprentice, he wrote in the previous article, and I will not repeat it here. In turn, the apprentice Wei Wenliang was also very concerned about the master. No coincidence is not a book, Wu Kuihai is also an old bachelor like Zhang Wenbin. The apprentice Wei Wenliang always shouted that the master should quickly find a master, but how could the master not look proud, and did not trim the edges, and every blind date ended in failure.
Once Wu Kuihai was going on a blind date again, and the apprentice quickly made a Huada Zhongshan suit for the master, and also put his watch on the master's wrist, full of hope that the master could succeed this time. However, it backfired. Wu Kuihai still couldn't change the problem of not trimming the edges, although he was wearing a new dress and carrying a big watch, he squatted on the side of the road and smoked one cigarette after another, and smoked a cigarette butt. At this time, Ma Sanli happened to be passing by, and Wu Kuihai quickly greeted the third uncle. Ma Sanli asked: What are you doing here like a dog? Wu Kuihai said: Wait for the object. Ma Sanli looked at his cigarette butt, a face of folds, and said with a smile: Blown. Sure enough, this time it blew again.
Later, Wu Kuihai fell ill and could not perform, and Wei Wenliang was very anxious. Hearing that Gao Fengshan, the father of Gan, said that there was a living Hua Tuo in Beijing, he quickly took his master to the home of a famous doctor in Beijing to ask for medical treatment. The old Chinese medicine doctor took a pulse, looked at the tongue moss, and said solemnly to Wu Kuihai: "Mr. Wu, you smoke too fiercely." I can prescribe you a few pairs of decoctions first, but you have to quit smoking. Otherwise, it's not me scaring you, you won't be able to pass half a year..." At this time, Wu Kuihai's famous shaft temper came out: "You said that you weren't scaring me, I saw that you were scaring me." My neighbor's old man has been smoking all his life, and this year he is 93 years old, isn't it still good? After the old Chinese medicine doctor listened, his face sank and he said, "I still have to go to see a friend, I'm sorry, I don't send it." "People have issued eviction orders. The master and apprentice had to come out, and Wei Wenliang used the excuse to go to the toilet, and then ran back to the old Chinese medicine doctor's house to apologize and ask people to prescribe medicine. The old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed medicine, and the master and apprentice returned to Tianjin. Although Wu Kuihai took the medicine on time, the smoke was not smoked at all. Wei Wenliang hid his cigarette, and Wu Kuihai shouted and made a fuss. Finally, Wu Kuihai died of a terminal illness and was only 59 years old.
The master died, and Wei Wenliang, the apprentice, became the "eldest son" again. He bought the best coffin and birthday clothes for his master, and when he came out of the funeral, he still performed the ceremony of the eldest son, wearing a heavy filial piety to give the master a banner.
Later, Wei Wenliang's parents died one after another, and Wei Wenliang naturally wore filial piety for his parents. A "son" four lines "eldest son filial piety" has beaten "Ha Er" four times, probably only Wei Wenliang.
Later, Wei Wenliang himself said: "The two teachers are really good to me, and these skills of mine are also taught by the two teachers every word and deed." That year, Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone's children ran out to set off firecrackers. But I still had to put a blank piece of paper in front of me, and the spit star couldn't splash on the paper. Later, these two masters were sent by me a hundred years later." Speaking of this, Wei Wenliang said humorously, "I have also enjoyed playing with hats in my life, and I have played four times. Two masters, parents".
