Qiong Yin lingers

Chapter 10 Running a Kindergarten
Speaking of his wife, the smile on Zhang Shennian's face became gentle: Huang Simi was jokingly called the "Seventh Princess" by the villagers: she was the seventh eldest among the six older sisters in the family.

Thanks to her father's knowledge of nine crafts, such as wall-building, carpentry, and field work, and the fact that her ancestors buried a load of silver dollars in the ground, Huang Simei has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child: when the family was tired of eating pomegranates, she picked them A small basket goes out to the commune to exchange candy, eats a mouthful of rotten teeth, rolls with pain every time, goes to the dentist and returns home and passes the commune, and can’t resist the temptation to secretly buy candy, and so on.

After getting married, she still couldn't help eating sweets secretly, Huang Simei was still like a child.

Meng Huaxiang hummed and said nothing, but her heart was so soft that this daughter-in-law was indeed the Zhang family who burned Gaoxiang.

After chatting with his mother, Zhang Shennian turned around and chatted with Wang Yunfei about business.

The two were chatting to the top, Zhang Wenqian trotted over with a step that no relatives would recognize, turned around a few times in a normal manner, raised her chin in a childish voice, and sang the classic aria of Qiong Opera "The Dirty Princess".

"Lang Jun, he is so chic, mighty, handsome and elegant, half-hidden, shy, charming and wanting to speak but silent... The sky is full of clouds, and the wind blows away. The rhyme is harmonious and the celebration is happy... I don’t know the difference, red and red, it’s wrong for you to be a court official,

I am a princess riding on horseback, you are a commoner supporting the horse's feet... Reading poetry and books, broad knowledge, it is not elegant to say this, you are flowers, I am butterflies, flowers lure butterflies, butterflies love flowers...I am not suitable for you , I am a majestic emperor, the eight-treasure phoenix crown is priceless, and the silver silk green shoes are shining...

I hold three passes to show my heroic name, I have tens of thousands of soldiers hidden in my chest, and I am accompanied by wind, cloud, thunder and lightning. The father and the king are fighting for the autumn colors, sitting in half the sky? ... There is no need for the princess to speak wildly, I will live up to the grace of the Lord, but you, relying on your father's power, are arrogant and lawless. "

She is dressed in Li brocade clothing with gorgeous colors and novel patterns. From the hat to the top, short skirt, and shoes, it is like the first appearance of a rainbow and the arrival of glory.

Coupled with her small arms and legs, she keeps singing and composing, and a long ribbon hangs on her shoulders, which is also used as a water sleeve, flying in the air from time to time, singing, singing, acting and fighting, what a lively drama Small and medium-sized people, almost made Renmeng faint.

Fearing that the Li Jin hat on his head would fall off, Xiao Nai Tuanzi tried to raise his head and nostrils to the sky while singing, making the two big men laugh and lean forward and back.

Zhang Shennian looked at his daughter's soft and cute appearance, and threw her daughter up to her neck: "My daughter is so beautiful! What a little princess!"

Huang Simi heard this sentence when she came in, she couldn't help laughing, and said that Zhang Shennian was obviously the one who didn't bring a baby: "You wait for two hours to see your daughter, and she will become a loach princess in minutes!"

Zhang Shennian hugged his daughter and kissed wildly: "If you become a loach, that is also the most beautiful princess loach in the world!"

The laughter of the father and daughter filled the room, making Wang Yunfei feel sore again.

Seeing Zhang Wenqian's full set of clothing, Wang Yunfei quickly got a lot of inspiration, and quickly explained to Huang Simmei that she could try to make some Li Jin's children's clothing: Now that the economy is improving, parents are more willing to spend money for their children.

Thinking of children's clothing, Huang Simei's eyes lit up, and she suggested that she could make some other accessories, such as hats, scarves, bags and so on.In particular, various scenic spots in Sanya have good legends, and the corresponding surroundings can be made according to these legends.

The price of finished clothing is high, it is not too everyday, and the price performance ratio is not high.

The "souvenirs" associated with children's clothing and scenic spots are easier for tourists to pay for.

The ideas of the two coincided with each other, and soon they drew a lot of patterns, which were ready to be handed over to the weavers to start work.

Wang Yunfei was very satisfied with Huang Simi's execution ability, and praised him again and again, but Huang Simi dared not take credit for it.

Her feelings for Li Jin are more complicated: it's probably because the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and she couldn't bear Li Jin's gradual decline and disappearance like Qiongju.

Especially watching the beautiful pictures of the weavers shuttle their hands on the loom, she strengthened her belief in protecting Li Jin—this is a "living fossil" favored by Huang Daopo, and it must be passed on from generation to generation!

*
The Li brocade studio is in full swing to make Li brocade garments. Through Huang Simei's "teaching formula", the nine weavers also gradually mastered the technique of double-sided embroidery following Zhong Lihua.But when they really want to make clothes on the loom, their double-sided embroidery still encounters a very big challenge: the difficulty of double-sided embroidery belongs to the level of "Master Tai" in the Li brocade weaving method, and there are only a handful of people in the Russian Xianling Society. And most of them are ancient and sixtieth old people.Zhonglihua can be said to be a unique flower, and it is a wonderful flower among the younger generations, and the characteristic of Zhonglihua is that it has no pattern.

Therefore, even if the newly learned weavers have mastered the technique, they cannot weave double-sided embroidered clothes freely and lightly on the clothes.

Zhang Shennian saw them and their frowning faces, and his mind moved: "Our Qiong Opera Troupe, in the early days, mostly practiced the master-apprentice system. The apprentices followed the master, using acting instead of training, and using acting instead of teaching. Since everyone has mastered the basic techniques , how about we all follow Sister Zhong and only draw the same pattern?"

Huang Simei was even more worried when she heard this, because she knew that Zhong Lihua was a good hand at weaving Li brocade, and teaching students was a chicken to a duck. The basic techniques of double-sided embroidery before were thanks to the fact that she made up a small tune for everyone to memorize. , but now with this ready-made garment, Huang Simi felt her scalp tingling: Could it be that in order to teach everyone, she has to learn a new skill?
Seeing Zhang Shennian speak, Wang Yunfei immediately echoed: "These days, I see my sister-in-law coordinating the members of the troupe, whether it's planting sweet potatoes in the field, or running a teahouse business, they can do everything. It can be called the ceiling of the management world. It is possible. I have observed that in the troupe, whether it is a conscientious singer, a man who is diligent in farming, or a young man who wants to start a business, they all obey your sister-in-law. Therefore, this Li Jin Studio, It seems that I can't do without you!"

Huang Simi felt concerned, but she had no choice but to sign the contract and build the Li Jin studio. She couldn't get off the horse, so she could only bite the bullet: "I will study with Sister Zhong first. If it doesn't work, let's figure out a way together and find another man." count."

*
The three of them talked about the details of Li Jin's studio, and before they knew it, it was lunch time.Meng Huaxiang yelled at the top of her voice: "Are you planning to sing like the song 'Sentimental Drinking Water' in Qiong Opera? Hurry up and eat!"

The three most important things for islanders every day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner!If there is anything else to do, it is to take a shower before dinner.Because of the hot climate, it is important to take a bath every day.But before that, there are three meals a day.Thanks to the beautiful environment near the sea and the mountains, most of the people on the island live a comfortable life. They go to the mountains to pick fruits and go to the sea to catch fish, and they will never starve to death.

Those who have worked hard like Zhang Shennian and Huang Simei are all good young people who are building modernization in the new era.Zhang Shennian took his wife by the hand and called Wang Yunfei back to the backyard teahouse restaurant.

The troupe is thriving, and every meal on the table is naturally rich and colorful: fried mackerel, miscellaneous fish and seafood soup, fried pork belly with soy sauce, boiled chicken, stir-fried soybean sprouts, and so on.

The weavers sat alone at a full table. Although they had been weaving Li brocade in the teahouse for several days, they still had deep inferiority complex because of the criss-crossed green tattoos on their bodies, and they were especially afraid of facing outsiders. Lihua dared not go to the main table.

Huang Simi knew their inner fear, so she didn't force them.In addition, she is now concentrating on how to start the Li brocade business and really help these weavers.

Twenty days after the meal, Zhi Niang murmured and said, "Sister Zhong, I, my family, the child is young, my family, I am not allowed to do it, I am sorry..."

The atmosphere at the dinner table dropped to freezing point in an instant, and Zhi Niang, who was talking and laughing at first, had a serious face on her face.After someone spoke first, others joined in one after another.

"My child has just been weaned, and my family also wants me to weave Li brocade on my back. I wonder if we can take the child with us?"

"My family is three years old, which is the age at which cats and dogs are disliked. My husband is also afraid that he can't take care of the child. If he can take the child with him, that would be the best."

"The one in my family can take care of the baby, but he said that if we can't make money, we both have to go to the northwest wind."

……

These weavers used to be the main labor force of the family. They not only had to farm the fields, but also cooked for the family and fed the pigs and children.Now that they are going to weave Li brocade in the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe, the family members are worried about their future income, but because of the loss of a labor force, they are naturally unhappy.

Of course, the main reason is that everyone has no hope for Li Jin's future - even if the teahouses of the Oriental Qiong Opera Troupe are booming, the Qiong Opera in ten miles and eight towns still has lost its former glory.

To put it simply, everyone has no sense of security and trust in family members who regard brocade weaving as work.

Of course, more importantly, they have just mastered the double-sided embroidery technique, and encountered the problem of shaping the whole garment.In addition, everyone in the family felt that the reason for women to become Li Jin was that they were "lazy" and didn't want to go to work, so they made various sarcastic remarks both openly and secretly.Coupled with other villagers' intentional or unintentional cynicism, saying that they want to take advantage of the Qiong Opera Troupe, these weavers have suffered tremendous psychological pressure.

Huang Simimei didn't expect that there would be another wave of ups and downs, and she slowly put down her chopsticks, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, everyone. Although I can't guarantee you that making Li Jin will make everyone well-off and rich, I can definitely guarantee it. It's better than farming. This point, everyone will know this when you look at Sister Zhong; as for the double-sided embroidered garment forming plan, I will help you sort it out and teach you with Sister Zhong as soon as possible, that is to say, you are here now, not just for a job , and can learn more high-end crafts such as double-sided embroidery, the future is promising! As for the child's question... let me think about it, I will give you an answer within three days. Please think about it again, okay?"

Compared to Zhang Shennian and Huang Simimei's worries, Wang Yunfei looked very relaxed. After dinner, he happily turned the corner in the teahouse. When he saw Huang Simimei, he did not forget to remind her: "Sister Mei, we have signed a contract! This Li Jin, we No matter what method you use, it must be delivered!"

Huang Simi gritted her teeth angrily: "Mr. Wang, you are also a major shareholder, so can't you help us think of a way?"

Wang Yunfei waved his hands again and again, with a smirk: "I am not your shareholder, but your Party A—in other words, we are in a business relationship, I pay the money, and you ship the goods. As for how the goods come, that is up to you." It shouldn't be my concern!"

In fact, Wang Yunfei had a kind of blind confidence in Huang Simei.

After these few days of observation, he could see that Huang Simi seemed gentle and weak, but she had more opinions and thoughts than Zhang Shennian.Not to mention the promotion of the Oriental Tea House, the adaptation of Li Jin's "March [-]rd" can be called a pioneering work.

Qiong Opera has been passed down for so many years. In the island, everyone is familiar with the classic plays, but this just limits the development of various troupes.

The Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe has been transformed into a brightly colored Li brocade costume, coupled with catchy script lines, isn't it just that the people from all over the world can sing by ear?In this way, in the ten miles and eight towns, including Erxian Village, in the fields, everyone sang Qiong opera ditties when they were not farming.

Whether it is Yangchun Baixue or Xialiba people, only the literary and artistic forms that can be widely accepted and praised can be passed down better.

Huang Simei's innovation is just like this!

Wang Yunfei felt ashamed of himself for such a handwriting and layout.

Therefore, Wang Yunfei believed that Huang Simimei would be able to come up with a solution to this small problem right now.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Zhang Wenqian jumped into Huang Simei's arms with her short legs: "Mom, help me adjust the TV antenna, the TV screen has become a rainbow!"

The Peony brand TV at home is the first color TV bought in the village. Nowadays, the children in the village like to watch episodes here when they are free, and watch cartoons together.Zhang Wenqian's favorites are "Alice in Wonderland" and "Sailor Moon", and she can't get tired of watching the reruns over and over again.

Huang Simei walked to the TV and moved the antenna to adjust the signal. After the yellow and blue rainbow bars on the TV jumped a few times, the picture gradually became clearer. On the TV, the host of the news network broadcasted the words: "Shanghai XH District Science and Technology Kindergarten was established, which is the first kindergarten in my country featuring early childhood science education..."

After a pause in the movements of her hands, Huang Simei stood in front of the TV and listened carefully to the "kindergarten" introduced on TV, her eyebrows raised more and more as she listened.Zhang Wenqian waited impatiently, stepped forward and hugged her thigh: "Grandma, you are blocking us! Get out of the way, we have to switch channels to watch "Sailor Moon"!"

Turning around and looking at the room full of little heads, Huang Simi was delighted, hugged her daughter and kissed wildly: "Oh, our family Qianqian is really the lucky star of my mother!"

Putting down her daughter, Huang Simei said loudly to Wang Yunfei when she went out, "Mr. Wang, I have found a solution—I want to open a nursery in the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe!"

"Nursery?" Wang Yunfei was at a loss, and Zhang Shennian who heard the sound was also puzzled.

After gesticulating happily, Huang Simei finally made a decision: "In short, in our Qiong Opera Troupe, we will set up a school to teach and play games for all children who have not yet reached school age, so that they can learn while growing up healthily. And Puzzle. By the way, it also has a very fashionable name called Kindergarten!"
