18 Singing the gong

"Did you hear that? Today in the central square, there is going to be a good show, I heard what the white-haired girl is called, do you want to go and see it together? In a humble tea shop in the western residential area of Jilong Gang, a few coolies dressed up as people were sitting together shouting a pot of bad wine and a few dishes while eating and drinking, and shared their fresh information with each other.

"What kind of play to watch, I still have to go to work tomorrow, after this job, the whole person seems to be scattered, how can I still have the leisure to go to the play!" A simple and calm strong man on the side said with a tired face.

"I said the sixth child, this money is inexhaustible, now our life is much better than when we were in our hometown, as long as you work normally for four hours a day, it is enough to feed your family, why do you have to work so hard, you have to work hard for five or six hours a day!" Another young swarthy man stood up and persuaded: "Look at me, go to work on time on this day, get off work on time, don't live too comfortably!" ”

"Fuck off, you, you are one person to feed the whole family and not hungry, where is my burden! Six or seven people in the family have to wait for me to go back to feed, if I can still do it now, do more work and save some money for the family, and when I can't do it in the future, who will feed the family! The honest middle-aged man named Lao Liu retorted.

"Then you can't work so hard every day, you have to take a break, although our brothers often meet, but you don't go back to the party to play, so everyone doesn't want to call you!" Several others also tried to persuade the companion.

After all, I heard that this square drama thief is good-looking, mainly because this drama is not like the Kunqu Opera and Huangmei, and many times everyone may not understand what is played above, and the dialogue of the whole vernacular text is simple to understand, and it is about the things they have heard from time to time in their neighbors in the past, which makes people very cordial.

A few people talked about it, but finally dragged the old friend next to them to the central square of Jilong Harbor, at this time there was still some effort before the opera started, but the originally wide square was already a crowded scene.

A few people relied on themselves to work as coolies on the dock, with a good strength, and they were stunned to push away the crowd blocking in front of them, and Wang went inside, wanting to find a suitable place to watch the play, but they didn't want to call back halfway.

"What for? What for? Don't you know that the position in front is a special seat for the elderly, weak women and children? Give me back the squeeze in there! A soldier of the defense team held a wooden stick and pointed at a few tall guys: "Go back, go back, go back and line up, is there any quality!" ”

A few strong men were stopped by a guard to stop their footsteps, nodded and apologized, only to find that the place in front of the people leaning on the stage was reserved for children and the elderly, and it was only from this front that they could see that they were lined up in several columns, waiting to enter slowly!

With a blushing face, a few strong men ran back to the back of the line, obediently lined up, and waited quietly for a while for the guards to arrange for them to enter, and at the same time gave them instructions on where to sit.

didn't let everyone wait long, and before it got dark, the guards skillfully settled the people who came to watch the show.

Choosing to build a stage in the square is to fancy its spacious territory, in addition to the stage to accommodate thousands of people is no problem at all, but the only bad thing is that the more you go back, the more difficult it is for the lyrics on the stage to float over, so that the people behind you can hear the specific lyrics.

But the troupe also has a way, since you can't hear it, then you can always read it, on the beam above the stage, there will be a rolling banner, on which will simultaneously display the singing and speaking words of these actors on the stage.

In the Ming Dynasty, this synchronous banner may have a sense of adding to the snake, after all, there are a few people who can read and write, but in the Hongmen territory on Dayuan Island, this banner does put the finishing touch, solving the problem that the sound in the open area is not widely spread, although it affects the actual experience of watching the play, but it can also make most people understand what this scene wants to express.

The play of the white-haired girl is a script written by Li Tianyang based on the later play of the same name, and then handed over to Chen Yumo and the others to organize the rehearsal of the play.

In addition, there are also "Liang Zhu", "Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage", inspired by the love story between Heiwa and Tian Xiao'e in the later "White Deer Plain", and other plays are also in rehearsal, but now the first one to appear in Hongmen is "The White-Haired Girl".

Yumo finally gave birth to a child for Li Tianyang, this time she did not disappoint the elderly Mrs. Wu to drink Sanniang, and the eldest grandchildren of the next generation of the old Li family were finally born, which not only made Mrs. Wu happy, but also made Wu Daofu and Zhao Xingdou and these old people excited.

This also means that Li Tianyang has finally had a successor to this large piece of foundation, and in Li Tianyang's house, these older generation, and even many of the new generation of leaders, have always been worried about Li Tianyang's lack of heirs.

You must know that Li Tianyang is now twenty-seven or eighteen, and his wife Chen Yumo is three years older than him, in the eyes of the ancients, she is already a middle-aged woman, if she can't give birth to a son, who knows who will lead their team after Li Tianyang returns to heaven!

The thinking of the son inheriting the father's business, no matter how Li Tianyang changes the thinking of his team members, I am afraid that it will not be able to change in one or two generations, until Li Tianyang's second child lands, it is like a reassuring pill so that most of the whole team has the backbone, and there is no need to worry that this beautiful team will have no heirs.

As for what kind of future the much-anticipated little milk baby will have not long after it was born, that's a later story, so I won't talk about it here.

After giving birth and confinement, Yumo began to clamoring to come out to do something, Yumo itself is not an idle master, and it has been the limit of what she can endure for more than two consecutive years to have children at home and take care of children.

In fact, when she was pregnant with a child, Yumo had already found Li Tianyang in private and vomited a lot of saliva, but Li Tianyang was hindered by Yumo's body at this time, as well as the attitude of Mrs. Wu and Sanniang, so he didn't dare to let Yumo be too tired, and when he turned his head, he thought of something to relieve her boredom, that is, to select some people from the students of the Jilonggang Branch of Bengang Academy to form such a drama club, which can not only enrich the daily life of the team, but also allow Yumo to find something to do, and it will not be too tiring.
