Chapter 14

Without his nephew's interruption, Yan Erhe's life has returned to his familiar track.

I am urged to get up by my wife every day. If I don’t need to hoe the ground after dinner, I can find a place in the village to watch people play chess, or have fun with a group of friends.

I go out to play wild from time to time at night. Although the rabbits are basically impossible to fight, the picture is just a joy.

It's just that in his spare time, he can't help but think about that trip with his nephew back then. For him, that experience was very exciting and very memorable.

Occasionally, I think that my nephew can make money, and my brother-in-law can also make money by setting up a Liangpi stall in the town, but I am the only one...

He is not someone who likes to think about these things. The reason why he suddenly thinks about it is because he has already spent a lot of money earned on the trip with his nephew.

Although the last time the meat was spent accounted for a large part of the money spent, he was used to the feeling of having a few dollars in his pocket, and now seeing that only the fare his nephew told him to keep was left, his heart gradually grew hairy. Scratch up.

This day, Yan Erhe looked at his nephews surrounded by a group of old men under the old persimmon tree at the entrance of the village, and finally couldn't help it.

When the nephew finished playing the song and walked home with the erhu in hand, he hurriedly followed: "Qijin, don't you say you're going to that oil field, aren't you going?"

Yan Changqing looked at the proficiency of the erhu skills and hesitated.

His recent progress in the erhu seems to be getting better and better.Especially recently, under the leadership of my grandfather, a concert at the entrance of the village was held. Not only the old men love to come to listen, but also the old ladies like it.

According to his own feeling, if the erhu skills with 50.00% progress and the advantage of his own child, he can go to the street to perform.

Then when it reaches 60.00%, you can almost be an accompanist in an ensemble, and more than 70.00% should be able to perform independently on the municipal stage.

When it reaches 80.00%, it should be able to achieve minor fame, go to a big stage without fear, go to a provincial-level TV station to say that I am an inheritor of traditional crafts, and it should not be a problem to perform independently.

90.00% must be at the level of a master, no matter how you have to have a one-in-a-million talent-fortunately, your proficiency panel can ignore this premise, as long as you persist, you can achieve it sooner or later.

If it reaches the second level, it is estimated that there will be a special effect or something, but it is not known yet, it is just his guess.

Because he played at the entrance of the village recently, the old men and women like to listen to operas, so he was asked to play drama shows.But he didn't have the score, so the old men and women sang to him, and then he played.

So the proficiency has been improving very fast recently, and it is infinitely close to 80.00%.

Truth be told, the feeling is addictive.

It's like playing a game to level up, thinking about how to go up to the next level, but after the leveling up, I want to go to the next level, and I can't stop at all.

The second uncle's words reminded him that he also plans to buy a bicycle for his family. If possible, he'd better buy a calf and come back as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed: "Then let's make preparations tonight. You and my second aunt agreed to leave tomorrow."

……

It still seems to be a familiar carriage, it is still a familiar tractor full of red bricks, it is still a familiar town.

The difference is that this time Yan Changqing and his second uncle entered the town, dumped a half-snakeskin bag of vegetables in the kitchen of the aunt’s house, and then went straight to the place where the bus often stops at the west end of the street. Tickets went up to find a seat.

The fare for adults is only [-] cents, and children don't need money.

Although Yan Erhe tried his best to keep himself calm and pretended that it was not his first time to take a bus, but he couldn't help looking left and right from time to time, and the condescending and slightly proud feeling when he looked out the window still deeply betrayed him.

As soon as the car started moving, he became even more energetic. While grabbing the handrail, he stared at the trees and houses flashing back outside the window, his eyes were deep and distant...

In fact, the car was pitifully slow, and before the town was out, someone waved and stopped immediately on the road.

After leaving the town, the speed of the car was just raised, and there was a village not far away, so the speed slowed down again, and then a few people came up, and then continued walking slowly.

It took nearly an hour to stop and go for thirty miles.

When I arrived at the station, I looked for a car to go to Tongshu County to go to the oil field.

It took more than an hour to walk more than 40 miles.

The advantage is that there are fewer people in the car now, so you don't have to worry about problems like no seats.

Obviously, the ticket price of about one yuan is still a bit expensive in the eyes of most people-it’s only a few tens of miles, and it takes half a day to walk without a bicycle. It’s worth wasting that money!

……

The oil field is a small town established 12 years ago. It has no official name. It was built because of the oil field, so the name is the oil field.After it was built, it continued to explore oil while mining, and it is still under construction today.

Most of the oilfield workers are demobilized soldiers, and only a small part are locals—because oilfield exploitation needs to occupy farmland, and those whose farmland is occupied can have a quota of employees.

Because these demobilized soldiers came from all over the country, they naturally brought the customary language and eating habits from all over the country.

It's just that as time passed, some customs gradually became less important, and the language gradually assimilated into only local dialects or Mandarin.

Only the delicacies of my hometown have not only taken root here, but also grown wantonly. Decades later, the oil wells are almost hollowed out, but the gourmet snacks are still there, and they are famous far and wide, becoming a famous snack town.

There is no station here either, the busiest place is the terminal.

When Yan Changqing got out of the car, what he saw were familiar things. In the restaurants and stalls on the roadside, hot dry noodles, oily noodles, steamed buns, rice noodles, barbecued steamed buns and cabbage, sausage noodles, fried noodles with duck blood and vermicelli soup...

Yan Erhe was simply a little dumbfounded, and it was a bit unbelievable to say that he saw many things here for the first time.

Although it's not time to eat, many snacks have already started to be prepared, and various flavors are coming out, which makes people's index fingers twitch.

Both of them felt a little greedy, Yan Changqing was satisfied in all aspects after his rebirth, except for his stomach and mouth; Yan Erhe's eyes just kept looking around, not knowing what to look at.

They even ignored that this place actually looks more developed than Tongshu County. The houses are relatively new, the roads are relatively wide, and the street lights on both sides of the asphalt road are also very neat.

There are clothes sellers not far away, and of course there are stalls selling vegetables, various farm tools, and daily necessities... In short, at first glance, I feel that this place is extremely prosperous and lively.

Yan Changqing couldn't help suggesting: "Second Uncle, how much money do you have? How about we have something to eat first?"

One sentence made Yan Erhe wake up, his face was a little embarrassed, and he stammered: "It's not yet noon... It's important to get down to business first..."

Yan Changqing understood that the second uncle probably only had the fare to go back in his pocket, so he didn't dare to spend it recklessly.

Then, show off first.

……

There was no need to go anywhere else, Yan Changqing found a curb under the shade of a tree on the side of the road and sat down, put a small iron bucket in front of him, tuned the piano, brewed for a while, and then began his performance.

He performed very hard. The small iron bucket in front of him was no longer the tin can containing earthworms, but a used paint bucket that he found at his aunt's house.

It's not very big, that is, it's about the same as a trash can.

His requirements are not high, he doesn't want to be able to fill it up, he is satisfied with filling half a bucket!
The melodious erhu sound is like a stream in a mountain stream. At the beginning, they simply flowed in the mountain stream, passing over the gravel under the stream, and passing by the flowers and plants by the stream. The grass swayed happily...

The jagged rocks can't stop their footsteps, but the curved waterway makes them more excited.

There are fish gently jumping out of the water, and water birds are strolling by the stream...

The creek flows out of the mountain stream, and the world suddenly becomes open. Between the blue sky and white clouds, there are flying wings. Among the green grass, there are cattle and sheep walking lazily in the sun...

The creek gradually merged into the river channel, so it became a big river.

On both sides of the river, there are endless rice fields...

The wind dances above the river, the birds sing in the wind...

……

Relatively speaking, people in the oil field have broader knowledge than ordinary people.

When many people had never traveled a hundred miles, they came from all corners of the country, brought their families and bags, settled in this strange land, and became oilfielders here.

And because it is more prosperous here, even street performers are not too unusual.

Fortunately, Yan Changqing didn't intend to fool anyone.

Just when he was concentrating on the erhu, the progress bar belonging to the erhu skill took another step forward silently.

Qu Youxinsheng, the first time he came to the oil field, Yan Changqing came with great hopes.

Because the surrounding area is not more prosperous than here, and there is no place where people come from more sources and have more knowledge than here.

So he exploded with great enthusiasm and unprecedented concentration.

The greatest significance of the goldfinger jade plate is that it will make efforts rewarding—and this is what most people desire. They hope that every effort they make can get the value they deserve, but they often fail to get what they want. .

But Yan Changqing's efforts must be rewarded. At this time, he forgot the paint bucket in front of him, which was a bit ridiculous for a busker, and even forgot that he was on the street.

The only thing I focus on is the erhu.

When he finished the song, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

It's like, after the farmers sweated, they saw the farmland where all the weeds had been removed; after the workers sweated, they saw the huge donkey-head oil pump swinging on the field...

So much so that when applause and applause suddenly sounded around him, he was startled and almost slipped off the curb...
