Reborn to be rich

Chapter 67 Professional Actor
Zhang Guodong came to the village with a tractor. Today is the New Year’s Eve until the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. The township will be very lively. Both sides of the street are filled with all kinds of meat sellers, snacks, ironware, and vegetables. Zhang Guodong parked his car at the cattle and sheep. City, got out of the car and came to a pork stall on the side of the road.

This year, the price of pork in the village is RMB 30. Zhang Guodong bought two front pork legs in preparation for going to Baiyun's house on the second day of the first lunar month.I bought two sets of pig intestines and six pig hearts. Things in the village are much cheaper than those in the county. It only cost Zhang Guodong more than 50 yuan to buy some of these, which can weigh more than [-] catties.

Asking the butcher to show me the car, Zhang Guodong walked to the second team of Ganjing Village. I haven’t seen her for almost a month. It’s been several days since the winter vacation. Baiyun once said that he would go to Zhangjialing Village to look for him, but I haven’t seen her yet. Come, Zhang Guodong intends to visit her house.

Arriving at the door of Baiyun's house, there are also many pig butchers in their village today. The second brother Baiyun was watching the excitement at the door of a pig butcher's house. When he saw Zhang Guodong coming, he lowered his head and walked away quietly.

Zhang Guodong was a little puzzled, he was already familiar with the second brother Baiyun, so he didn't know why he had to avoid him when he saw him.Arriving at the gate of Baiyun's house, Zhang Guodong heard someone talking in the yard, he knocked on the door and heard the voice in the yard suddenly disappeared, after waiting for a long time, no one responded Zhang Guodong had to give up, maybe it's inconvenient for Baiyun's family to have something to do today !

Driving back, Zhang Guodong heard the sound of gongs and drums in the village as soon as he reached Yaozipo. From today's Xiaonian to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sound of gongs and drums in the village will not stop every day for more than 20 days.When they got to the village, everyone in Zhangjialing Village gathered around the entrance of the brigade, beating gongs, drums and performing Yangko, and many people from other villages gathered around to watch the excitement.However, there are still so many people around the Qin Opera Self-music Class, and many people who want to take the stage are waiting in line to perform.

"Brother!" Zhang Xiaoyue saw Zhang Guodong running over happily, she looked at the pork on the tractor, and didn't buy any snacks, her face immediately turned down.

"What are you looking at? You little slander cat only knows how to eat your mouth! How did you sing just now?" Zhang Xiaoyue can only sing "Fifteen Guans", and she has to sing for a while these days, let alone her voice. Well, recently I have gradually become a little star in the village.

"Humph! I'm singing really well now. I didn't sing a word just now. Everyone applauded me!" Zhang Xiaoyue said proudly. She scored 92 points in mathematics and 79 points in Chinese in the final exam. Belonging to the top five ranks in the class, he has become a good boy in the teacher's heart. You must know that Zhang Xiaoyue was the third bottom in the class half a year ago.

"Look what you're proud of. After learning "Fifteen Guan", I will teach you a piece of "The Fate of the Tiger's Mouth". In a few days, I plan to invite a few professional teachers to teach you about the play. By then, you will be able to do it as long as you study hard." Much better."

Because of Qingyun Temple and Baoyushu, Zhangjialing Village has the strongest cultural atmosphere in the entire Ganjing Township. This is Zhang Guodong’s opinion that Zhangjialing’s strongest advantage is that the village has only set up a self-play class, and all team members are novices. In this way, so many people from the surrounding villages have come to see it. Seizing the opportunity to make this a feature of Zhangjialing Village will bring endless benefits in the future.

The New Year’s Eve in the countryside is very lively, and every household has entered the atmosphere of the New Year’s Eve. In the afternoon, Zhang Guodong called Zhang Xiaoliang. After the two discussed it, it is absolutely necessary to hire professional teachers. Yongkang County has its own drama school, which is opposite to the county high school. A famous card in Yongkang County. Now is the time for the students to go on vacation. Zhang Guodong intends to go to the school to see if there are any teachers who stay behind.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Guodong drove a tractor and took Zhang Xiaoliang with him to the county opera art school. The opera school looked more grand than high school. Zhang Guodong came to the guard room with a young man in his 20s watching door.

"Hello! Is there anyone still in our drama school? I'm looking for the teacher of the drama school." Zhang Guodong took out a Monkey King cigarette, and the other party looked at it and put it on his ear happily.

"Most of the teachers have gone back for vacation, and there are only three teachers who are far away from home. What can you do with the teachers?" the guard boy asked.

"Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon! Our village has set up a self-play class, and I want to invite teachers to our village to give guidance."

"I advise you to give up on this idea! Why would the teachers who teach here go to your village? If you want to try, I won't stop you. Come and register and go to the No. 4 teacher's building. Usually, at this time, the teachers are all there. Practice in the hall on the first floor." The young guard let Zhang Guodong and Zhang Xiaoliang open the door, and Zhang Guodong walked directly to the direction pointed by the guard.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the No. 4 teacher building, Zhang Guodong heard an elegant sound of Banhu coming from the hall, followed by the voice of Yazigu and a child.

Zhang Guodong walked into the hall. There were two old men and a middle-aged woman in the hall. The parents Zhang Guodong knew. She will win the Huaxia Opera Peony Award in 3 years, which is the highest honor award in opera.

"What are you two doing?" After singing the song, the middle-aged parent looked at Zhang Guodong and asked.

"Hello, teacher! We are from Zhangjialing Village, Ganjing Township. Our village has opened a self-play class of Qin Opera. I would like to invite teachers to come to our village to give advice."

"Sorry, we are the teachers of the drama school, we can't hand over to others at will, please leave!" Everyone in the field seemed to be dominated by this middle-aged woman, and they all watched quietly.

"Mr. Gong, look at how deserted this school is during the Chinese New Year. Our village is so lively and lively. It will not delay your practice. You can take the time to give everyone some pointers every afternoon. It is not for you to make a trip in vain. You go there for 10 days a day. One yuan subsidy." Zhang Guodong continued to persuade.

"You know me? Can you give me 10 yuan a day?" Gong Xiaoqing looked at Zhang Guodong differently. Her family is from Xinjiang, and she has big eyes typical of Xinjiang women. She didn't go back today because her home was too far away. Treat yourself with ten yuan a day, which is more than you can earn by yourself.

The teachers who teach at the theater school in Yongkang County are actually some elderly actors from the county theater troupe. They often go out to perform, and usually earn hundreds of dollars a month. This may be the most respectable job in Yongkang County. up.

"Teacher Gong's Sister-in-law Xianglin sings very well. I am honored to have heard your performance. If you are willing to go to our village to give advice, you will pay 10 yuan a day until the school starts. We will send you back when the time is full for food and lodging in the village." Zhang Guodong Hearing that the other party wanted to go, he quickly added.

Gong Xiaoqing asked Zhang Guodong about Zhangjialing Village in detail, and Zhang Guodong answered them one by one. At this time, Zhang Guodong knew that Gong Xiaoqing was the pillar of the county theater troupe, the vice principal of the theater school, and the two old men next to him were the school's musical instrument teachers. Zhang Guodong is willing to give 3 yuan a day to each of the two musical instrument teachers, and even the three apprentice children Zhang Guodong also gave 2 yuan subsidy.

"Having said so much, don't make fun of us!" Gong Xiaoqing suddenly realized that the two of them looked like teenagers, where did such big kids get their money.

"Mr. Gong, otherwise, you should pack your things first. I will go to the bank to withdraw money. It will be exactly 15 days from today to the 23th of the first lunar month. This is 529 yuan. Teachers and students, my tractor is right outside the door." Just pack up your things and put them in the car and wait for me.” Zhang Guodong didn’t wait for the other party to explain, and went to the county agricultural bank with Zhang Xiaoliang to withdraw the money. When he returned to the school, the three teachers and three students were ready. Hand it over to Gong Xiaoqing directly.

"It's not that we don't believe you, Village Chief Zhang! Or we'll settle the accounts when we leave with a deposit of 100 yuan..." Gong Xiaoqing said with some embarrassment, so much money is not a fortune for any village. It was a small expense, and when he got here, he also believed Zhang Guodong's saying that he was the captain of the village team.

On the tractor, the actors are not so pretentious at this time, and it is very good to be able to sit on the tractor. Some actors have to walk more than 50 kilometers a day for the performance, which is not uncommon.

Back in the village, the sky had gradually darkened, and the crowd in the village self-play class was still singing lively. Hearing the sound of singing in the village, Zhang Guodong clearly saw that the three teachers on the tractor were obviously relieved. This self-play class obviously had some roots , It is easy to teach.

"Village chief, who is pulling this?" A villager asked seeing Zhang Guodong coming back with a tractor, and many of the singing crowd looked over.

"Everyone get out of the way. This is a professional Qin opera teacher I hired from the county. They all help to take down the salute." Zhang Guodong stopped the tractor, and the children took down the teachers' salute just as he was about to help.

"Are they all teachers? Why is there such a young teacher?" A child pointed to the three opera students in the car.There are three opera students, two boys and one girl. The boy is about 12 or 3 years old, and the girl is only a little over ten years old. They look similar to Zhang Xiaoyue.

"Of course, they are all teachers here, they are all specialized in studying, and they are much better than us in any way, and we will call them little teachers when we meet in the future." Zhang Guodong said to several opera children in the village. The students lowered their heads shyly when they heard this. It was the first time for them to be called a teacher!
"Since you are a professional teacher, let's sing a few words!"

"Sing a song!"

"Come on!"

……

Everyone shouted from the side, Gong Xiaoqing signaled to a male student to sing first, and the actors had to show their voices when they got to the place, and the order is usually to put the good ones last.

Two musical instrument teachers took their stools and sat next to Zhang Chengmao. Zhang Chengmao suddenly felt a pressure coming from him. He looked at Yazi drummer next to him, trembling and not knowing what to do.

Business and professionalism can be seen from the posture. The fourth grandfather playing Yazigu stood up when he saw a teacher setting up his Yazigu. Generally, only one pair of Yazigu is needed for the accompaniment of Qin Opera.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Teacher Yazigu had just started playing, and everyone couldn't help but look a little bit. The teacher who played the banhu began to play the first song. This is a piece of "Ertangshezi" that Zhangjialing Village's self-music class often plays, but the professional teacher just doesn't take the lead. Similarly, at this time, everyone just wanted not to make mistakes, and walked slowly following the teacher's rhythm. When the male student finished singing, all the accompanists could not help sweating.

The applause of the onlookers sounded, the professionalism is different, every pitch is very accurate, not everyone will be lucky as soon as they finish singing.

First there were two male students, then a female student, and finally Gong Xiaoqing came on stage in person.

"Everyone from Zhangjialing Village, I am very honored to be here today. I will be here for more than half a month to discuss and learn from each other. If you don't know anything, you can ask me. I specialize in learning singing. "Counting Arhats" is for everyone!"

When the accompaniment sounded, Gong Xiaoqing opened his mouth, and the noise around him disappeared immediately. Gong Xiaoqing's voice was like a double sweet wine, bringing you into the world of opera characters. All the surrounding sounds seemed to have disappeared, and everyone was quietly appreciating Watching Gong Xiaoqing's performance.

"It's not a loss at all for ten dollars a day! The winner of the 'Peony Award', it won't work for her to sing a song without tens of thousands of dollars in three years." Zhang Guodong thought silently while watching the performance in the field.

After Gong Xiaoqing sang, no one dared to appear on the stage again, the sun had already set, and Zhang Guodong planned to distribute the six people he had invited to each house in the village. Unexpectedly, before he spoke, all the villagers rushed to bring several teachers to their homes.

"Okay, teacher Gong Xiaoqing will stay at our house, teacher Wang will live at my fifth uncle's house for pulling banhu, teacher Qian will go to my fourth grandpa's house for playing teeth drums, and the student who sings Xu Sheng will go to Zhang Xiaoliang's house... entertain the teacher in everything The family subsidizes 1 yuan per day." Zhang Guodong distributed all the people, and those who did not get the distribution were very disappointed.

Going home at night, Zhang Guodong arranged Gong Xiaoqing in Zhang Xiaoyue's room and let Zhang Xiaoyue and Zhang Ping sleep together. He intended to give Gong Xiaoqing a chance to teach his fourth sister more.

Gong Xiaoqing came to Zhangjialing Village this time to change clothes and took a set of clothes, and the rest were books, which made Zhang Guodong's impression of her much better. At night, Hu Yue'e was cooking, and Zhang Guodong set up a 2-meter-high crossbar in the corner of the yard. , hung up half of the bought pork, put all the wood under the pork and lit it, and suddenly the yard was shrouded in thick smoke.

Zhang Guodong brought the cypress branch prepared by his second brother from the door, threw it into the smoke pile, and then put a layer of salt on the pork and let it smoke slowly by itself. The bacon needs to be smoked for at least 12 hours. Let the younger brothers and sisters take turns watching the size of the fire, Zhang Guodong went home and washed all the pig intestines and soaked them in water, and tomorrow he can enema and roast the sausages.

While helping Hu Yue'e to make dinner, Gong Xiaoqing was shocked by the situation at Zhang Guodong's house. The three large machines in the yard of Zhang Guodong's house were worth a lot of money at first glance, and the dinner they prepared tonight was braised pig's trotters, braised pig's intestines, and potatoes Chacha, cold pickled vegetables, rice porridge, peanuts, red dates, and white steamed buns are the staple food.Such a sumptuous dinner, even city dwellers can't usually eat it.

Gong Xiaoqing originally thought that Zhang Guodong's family made such a sumptuous dinner today just to receive her. After dinner that night, she found that everyone was used to the food here. There were no rural guests to eat first, and the rest of the children ate. He has been educating his younger siblings to have balanced nutrition and not to eat only meat without vegetables. In the process of preaching, he also included his own understanding of nutrition, which made Gong Xiaoqing look at him with admiration.
