Director of the Centre

Chapter 216 The Folk Performance Market Is Dead ([-])

Han Xiaomei has made remarkable progress since living in Teacher Huo's house.Leaving aside academic performance, that's all there is to it anyway.The knowledge of the first grade is too simple for her. She learned it in kindergarten before. This time it is like putting chewing gum in her mouth and chewing it again. It is very boring.It can be seen that the national policy of not allowing kindergartens to teach primary school courses in advance is justified.

Han Xiaomei only needs 10 minutes to finish her homework after school every day, and she also takes on the task of helping the teacher to check the homework of other boarding students.

This pissed her off.

In addition to checking and tutoring classmates, Han Jin also organized everyone to go to the playground to play basketball and exercise after dinner.The outstanding physical fitness caught the attention of Mr. Huo's wife, who said, just train, maybe he can enter the school team in the future.Just let her practice dribbling and shooting every day.

One semester passed quickly, and during the summer vacation, Lao Han saw that his granddaughter had become dark and thin, and he was so distressed that he cursed, saying, what teacher, he turned the child into a construction worker.From now on, you are not allowed to go out to bask in the sun for the whole summer vacation, let me be white.Han Lu, you go out and buy ten catties of beef and two chickens to feed our granddaughter.

Can't go out, summer vacation life is done in one day, and the rest of the day is not easy.

Han Lu was still a little worried that the baby would damage his eyes by watching TV and playing computer at home all day long. Unexpectedly, Han Xiaomei asked his grandfather to buy a copy of "Xuan Mi Pagoda" and "Pang Zhonghua" to learn calligraphy at home, using both soft and hard pens.

When I was free, I also helped my grandfather with housework, choosing vegetables, and washing rice. When I was doing laundry, I threw Tao Tao's changed skirts into the washing machine, and messed up the good silk dresses.

Han Lu said "yo" and said, when did my daughter become so sensible and able to do housework, did I get up early today?

Han Xiaomei replied unhappily that when she lived at Teacher Huo's house, the teacher didn't help wash the clothes, so she had to do it herself.Otherwise, it's just a reprimand, which is very annoying.He also said that if I don't do it, not only will the cadres on duty be dismissed next semester, but even the head of the dormitory will be fired.

Little friend Han Jin: "I was fired in front of my good dean, and I still have the face to face my classmates in the future. Do I still have to lose face?"

Han Lu felt amused, what face do you want for a little girl?However, the 5000 yuan a month is really worth it for such a big change in my daughter in just one semester. How much has it saved my parents?If you don't say that he is a special-grade teacher, he is quite skillful!
……

At the end of August, the sound of cicadas is like rain.

Han Lu was smoking in the office, the doors and windows were wide open, and the air conditioner was turned off. The two women in the office couldn't stand the heat, so they fled to Song Qingshan to chat.

At this moment, he saw Huqin teacher Lao Liu approaching.

Han Lu: "Old Liu, come to go through the retirement procedures? What's the relationship between the two of us. Don't worry, I will help you with all the procedures, and I promise to complete them within a week, so there will be no delays."

Lao Liu and Han Lu used to be neighbors. When Director Han first started working, he took care of him a lot in his daily life.

Later, Lao Liu became a capable member of his wife Tao Tao's team.

He has finally reached his age and wants to retire.

Retirement is easy to say, but the procedure is quite complicated. It needs to go to several units and bring forward Lao Liu's file.Lao Liu used to work in the Sichuan Opera Troupe, and after it was merged into the Municipal Culture and Art Center, the files were somehow lost in the Employee File Management Center of the District Social Security Bureau, so he had to check.

After the formalities are completed, you have to wait for half a year before you can receive the money.

Old Liu said: "Don't be in a hurry, it won't be a few days sooner. Director Han, I have something to ask you. That's it, can I take away the huqin I often use?"

Han Lu was a little surprised. There were five or six huqins in Lao Liu's house, but the one he used most often looked quite old, with the paint peeled off and the pulp scratched by his hands.He doesn't know folk music either, but he heard people say that the qin sounds very good.

"Isn't that piano yours?"

Lao Liu replied that it was really not the case. This piano was passed down to him by his master. In those days, all musical instruments belonged to the work unit.Because I am used to it, I have feelings, and it is a relic of the master, so it is just a thought to put it in my hand.This is retired, I can't perform anymore, and I can still think of Master's voice and smile when he was alive, and the colleagues who worked together, such as Director Han, boss Tao Taotao, Ouyang Jin, and Sister Li.

Han Lu said: "This piano is not worth a lot of money. Things were quite chaotic back then. If you want to take it away, you can take it away. It's not a big deal."

"Thank you, Director Han." Lao Liu was very happy, and said with a smile: "Others are fine, the key is that the skin of this piano is python skin. Now pythons are protected animals, so it is very rare."

Han Lu asked, Old Liu, what do you plan to do when you retire?Lao Liu replied, what else can I do, go and get the children living there.Han Ludao is not far away, and I often come back to play when I have time.

Speaking of this, Director Han was a little sad: "Old Liu, there are quite a lot of old people who have retired and retired in recent years. Chang Yuehua retired, Shi Hongjun retired, Zhao Yi ran away, and Lao Jin was deaf and couldn't keep the door. Cheng Xiaojin, it’s you again now. Others are alright, but you are the best luthier in our city of Jinsha, the first bow in Jinsha! Can you always retire? If there is a major performance in the center, come and support it. The performance that should be given The fee is absolutely indispensable?"

Yes, there are quite a few people leaving in the past few years. The cultural and art center has dropped sharply from more than 300 people when Han Lu first started working to just over [-] today.

The most terrible thing is that there is no fresh blood to supplement, the actors are seriously aging, and the average age has reached 42.A group of aunts and uncles sang Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai on the stage, expressing lovesickness and performing beautiful love.The singer is not very energetic, and the audience also finds it strange.

Speaking of this, Han Lu paused, and let out a sigh: "Our unit's performance fee is only 20 yuan per performance, which will remain unchanged for ten years. You always have this skill, if you go to acupuncture points, you can get [-] yuan per performance."

Old Liu said: "What point to go, the current folk performance market is dead, there is no work at all."

"No job? I haven't paid attention to folk performances in the past two years. What's wrong?"

"Anyway, I can't do it anymore. I don't use acupuncture points, so I don't know exactly what's going on." Lao Liu said with a smile: "Director Han, my pension is not low. After playing the piano all my life, I'm really tired. Now when I see Huqin, I felt sick to my stomach, and it took me a long time to recover. I won’t act, I won’t act.”

"Then take it easy, come back when your hands are really itchy, I will arrange for you to perform two performances." Han Lu laughed in his heart.

This is indeed the case. There is a retired Chinese teacher in their Fishing Association.Once when he was out to play, Han Lu saw that he was bored, so he stuffed a magazine over and said, Teacher, take a look at him to pass the time.The Chinese teacher's face suddenly changed, and he kept saying whether he would read it or not. I have read articles all my life, and now that I am retired, I feel like throwing up just one more look at the square characters.

After Lao Liu left, Han Lu remembered what he said just now about the failure of the folk performance market, and he dialed Lu Chaoyang's phone number: "Chaoyang, Juju."

Lu Chaoyang: "Fishing? Don't dare, your sister Jian wants to beat someone."

"I don't fish, I really need to talk to you. I'll book a teahouse and treat you to dinner after drinking."

"No, I want to talk about you coming to my store, in front of Jian Jie."

"What a slob." Han Lu satirized him.

"Aren't you also afraid of Tao Tao?"

"I care, care, and love."

"I can go to you!"

Han Lu was stunned suddenly: "The store, what store?"
