Qiong Yin lingers

Chapter 17 Going East
Being praised by Lin Zirou, Huang Simei raised her eyebrows: "I also adapted an excerpt from the legend of Erxian Village. It describes the life of Princess Danya after she landed on the island. It tells the story of her life on the island and the big The story of nature falling in love, killing each other and finally surviving..."

As she spoke, she involuntarily raised her voice and put on a posture.Sing a few lines to them live.

Her unique sweet voice is combined with the rough and simple Qiongju singing, which is composed of characters and has a wide range.

The tone is elegant and stretched, and the melody is melodious and bright, sometimes high-pitched and agitated, sometimes euphemistic and lingering.

One after another pictures appeared in front of people's eyes, as if they could clearly see the appearance of Princess Danya living happily on the island.

After listening to this paragraph, Lin Zirou's belief in learning Qiongju opera was strengthened: "In the future, when I go out, I will say that my teacher is a descendant of the famous Dan Zhang Lujin! You have to walk sideways!"

Huang Simei and her looked at each other and smiled, not forgetting to bring Wang Yunfei along: "Then I have to ask Mr. Wang to lead us to be the wave of the market economy and find more good ways to inherit Qiongju opera!"

When visiting the kindergarten of Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe, Lin Zirou praised repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, your idea is really too fashionable! You know, only big cities like BJ and Shanghai are the first to open kindergartens! You are on an island, This is the first of its kind! What's more, look at the playground you made, every facility is so well designed!"

Especially in rural areas, parents work in the fields, and the dolls are either brought by the elderly at home, or follow their parents in the fields.

Huang Simei's original idea was to solve the worries of Li Jinzhi's ladies.But never expected that the food in this Oriental Tea House is so good, these weavers' dolls are only half a year old, and they are raised fat and fat.

In addition, after the kindergarten babies go back, they can't help but show off how fun it is in the playground of Dongfang Kindergarten.

Ever since, many children are crying to come to the "kindergarten".

It was not a profit-making organization at first, but because more and more children came here, Huang Simei had to expand a three-story one-story house, built two more children's playgrounds, and added three nutritious meals a day, every six months. Receive 50 yuan.

This price is not low. After all, the elementary school tuition at this time is only 60 yuan, but the kindergarten not only has an aunt who takes care of the children, but also has a teacher who teaches pinyin, literacy and counting, and three meals a day. Would love to send my kids here.

After Lin Zirou learned about the operation mode of Dongfang Kindergarten, she said to Wang Yunfei with a smile: "When I return to the provincial capital, I also want to open a kindergarten to enroll preschool children."

Wang Yunfei said with a smile that his wife is strict, and his wife can just tell her what to do, and the three of them laughed together.

Huang Simei is a real activist!
After sending Wang Yunfei and Lin Zirou away, Huang Simei went to Dongfang city to collect folk songs without stopping.

After Zhang Shennian went to sea, she took over the source of local goods into the city, and traveled all over ten miles and eight villages. In the current adaptation of the play, in addition to the legend of Erxianling, many elements of ten miles and eight villages have also been added.

However, Huang Simi knows little about the preferences of the people in Dongfang County.

This trip, Wang Yunfei brought his wife here, and while chatting with them, Huang Simei found that her knowledge was still too little.

The inheritance of Qiong opera, now she is constantly exploring ways, from the initial song and dance propaganda car, to the big drama tour in the Oriental Tea House, and now to the refined adaptation of excerpts, she is constantly working hard, but she always feels that it is still difficult to keep up with the times. pace.

The evolution of Qiongju opera should also be like the reform and opening up, with spring breeze everywhere and rapid progress.

She urgently needs to find a new way to get Qiongju on the giant ship of the times!

*
Meng Huaxiang saw that she was so busy that she didn't touch the ground every day. After getting up at the time of the cockcrow to practice, she hurried to the city; Push yourself so hard.

Huang Simei took out the letter that Zhang Shennian sent along with cassava, sweet potato and cash.

"Grandmother, do you know that in today's world, it's just the day and night? Not to mention anything else, the cassava and sweet potato are grafted on the basis of our island varieties! Another one, Zirou said, in In the provincial government, except for the performances of the big troupe, the Qiongju Opera Corner and Pavilion Fan Club in the early years have all disappeared. What I think is-our Qiongju Opera is still too quiet! However, to inherit Qiongju Opera, we must have Strong economic fundamentals..."

Meng Huaxiang looked around the teahouse, whispered softly, "Why don't we demolish the teahouse and build a tile-roofed house? Didn't you say that this huanghuali is valuable? Sell all the huanghuali in the teahouse, Ah Nian If you can go home, you don't have to work so hard, that's good!"

As she said that, the brilliance in Meng Huaxiang's eyes dimmed little by little, and her whole body was covered with indescribable sadness.

Sometimes, it takes a lot of money to stick to your dreams.

Meng Huaxiang originally thought that if she took over her mother's mantle, she could protect the Qiong Opera Troupe as before, as long as she practiced her singing and basic skills well.

Who knew that the pace of the times was so hasty, and when she was abandoned, she didn't even know why she was abandoned.

Huang Simei gritted her teeth and suppressed the eagerness to move in her heart: "Grandma, this is the only thought grandma left for you! If you really sell it for money, we will have no time to cry in the future! I will remember your words—no matter what Wherever we go, Erxian Village is our hometown, and Dongfangqiong Opera Troupe is our foundation. Our roots are firmly rooted here. No matter how far we go in the future, our hearts will be with you in the troupe! "

Nodding, Meng Huaxiang wiped away tears.

Why is she willing in her heart?
Just looking at his son and daughter-in-law running around like this, I really couldn't bear it: "Then you can just rest assured! The teahouse is on the right track, so you don't need to worry about it. By the way, there is also that excerpt, you should rewrite it less. When you are born, everyone wants to sing a few lines, and you let them sing by themselves, how easy? Why bother to adapt some excerpts every day?"

"However, didn't you say before that even if tea customers order songs, you have to buy one and get one free, and you can only sing a melody by singing a Qiong opera? Otherwise, I will ask Ah Nian to think of a way to reproduce our excerpts again. Add it in?"

"Oh! They sing Qiong opera, which is a waste of the treasures of the ancestors. The voice is out of tune, and the words are out of tune. It makes my ears angry! Anyway, you, just go and do your brocade and local goods business with peace of mind. Teahouse, leave it to me!"

Huang Simi was amused by her, and she leaned forward and backward with laughter, laughing until tears came out.

She clearly knew that her mother-in-law did this on purpose.

Huang Simei was busy collecting folk songs and collecting local goods during the day, and at night when she returned home, she would go to her desk to revise the script of Qiong Opera.

Zhang Wenxuan and Zhang Wenqian lay on her thighs eagerly every day, but she could only pat their backs and hum a ditty while holding a notebook to write and draw, doing the work of adaptation.

The karaoke record player in the restaurant was bought by Zhang Shennian from a trustee in Guangzhou. In order to insert it into the Qiongju opera, he spent an extra 3000 yuan to silence the singing voice of the Qiongju opera.

Unexpectedly, after the arrival of this karaoke record player, what tea drinkers order the most is not the embedded classic Qiong opera arias, but the popular songs that come with the record player.

For several months, except for the performance of Huang Simei's Qiongju opera excerpts, everyone sang on the karaoke record player, all of them were popular songs.

Meng Hua's aroma was so intense that it almost made someone hide the record player.

In the end, it was Huang Simei who kept the record player because of her good talk.

Now, in order to let her daughter-in-law have no worries, Meng Huaxiang actually offered to ask tea drinkers to sing on record players more often.

Huang Simi firmly remembered her mother-in-law's intentions, and at the same time, she repeatedly told herself: To carry forward Qiongju Opera, it is far from enough to rely on the efforts of a remote teahouse in Erxian Village.

Therefore, she has to work harder and think of more ways!

*
After Huang Simei spent a month gathering in the urban area of ​​Dongfang County, she had a bold idea: she wanted to go to Triangle Park to open a tea house and set up a stage!

After the fire at the Oriental Tea House, for a period of time, many people traveled thousands of miles to go to the Oriental Tea House to drink hot tea, eat some snacks, and listen to operas by the way.

But because Erxian Village is a certain distance from the urban area, and the loess road is full of potholes, every time I go back and forth, I have to work hard.

Especially after drinking high tea in the afternoon, it is very inconvenient to return late.

Build roads or go out?Huang Simei thought for a long time.

First of all, road construction requires various approvals, and at the same time, a large amount of money needs to be invested. Given the current situation where they are heavily in debt, it is difficult.That
The second is that even if a cement road is built, it will be a huge help even if it is far away from the village.

The success of the oriental tea house caters to the working habits of the Qiongxi area, and it has become a new fashion with high-quality and cheap tea and snacks.

More importantly, after arriving in the urban area, Huang Simi visited the villagers and the Dongfang Fishing Port Wharf, and found that they were more business-minded than the villagers of Erxian Village. There are all kinds of food stalls in the streets and alleys, including braised noodles, shrimp cakes and rice cakes.

Meals in the counties and urban areas are quite different from the custom of having three meals a day at home in Erxian Village.

Such a difference made Huang Simei afraid: she was afraid that she would not understand their habits, grasp their preferences well, and not be able to write a script like "March [-]" that was widely sung in ten miles and eight towns, and she was also afraid that Qiongju opera would stop here.

However, the more afraid she is, the more Huang Simi wants to create. If she stops at her own pace because of fear, isn't she just a frog watching the sky from a well?How can Qiongju be carried forward?

Since Zhang Lujin was able to lead the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe all the way from Linggao to Erxian Village with her own strength, and still be able to perform in ten miles and eight townships for decades in a remote place, then she also has the confidence to let the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe go out of Erxian, Travel all over the East, all over the island!

In [-], Guyu.

The dusty Huang Simi rushed into Meng Huaxiang's room after returning home.

Meng Huaxiang saw her hair flying across the temples, her face was haggard, her eyes were black and blue, her collar was only turned up on one side, her trousers were half rolled up, and there were a few dark purple blood marks on her face, she was frightened and asked repeatedly: "Why?" Good boy? Did you get robbed halfway? It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay to spend money and eliminate disasters, as long as people have nothing to do!”

"Grandma, don't panic, I accidentally knocked on the boat when I was out at sea...Grandma, I want to tell you something serious! I not only found the business experience to make a fortune! A good way for thousands of households! Grandma, we not only need to open a tea house and set up a stage, but also form a youth troupe to train the successors of Qiongju opera from an early age! At that time, grandma may have to work hard to be a teacher for the children of our Qiongju youth troupe , help me out."

Meng Huaxiang felt in her heart that the daughter-in-law was too optimistic and aggressive: the Oriental Teahouse itself was opened in the wooden attic of the Qiong Opera Troupe, and there was no need to pay rent. At the same time, the old-timers of the Qiong Opera Troupe Orchestra were also the vital force of the teahouse, so there were fewer teahouses. expenses for this item.

If it was going to Triangle Park, Meng Huaxiang wanted to deny this proposal just thinking about the rent and manpower.

After understanding her worries, Huang Simei said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, Ah Nian said that his overseas business has a promising future. Our husband and wife are Lian Lizhi. I think I can't fall behind."

As she spoke, she took out a few deed papers: "Look! I bought the land of the Triangle Park, including the two gazebos! Look, this is the rough design I drew, the two gazebos In the meantime, we set up the stage, facing the crossroads, and it must be very lively. Next to it, we can build a new Oriental teahouse with bamboo, following the example of the Oriental teahouse..."

When it comes to the emotional part, Huang Simi draws with her brushes and uses her hands and feet: "Grandma! After the youth troupe is trained, our Oriental Poor Theater Troupe can go out of Russia, go to the east, go to the provincial capital, go to the mainland, and then go overseas! Ah Nian Having said that, when the time comes, I will let you lead a group, and we will take a ship together and go on a sea tour..."

Meng Huaxiang originally had thousands of reasons for denying it, but looking at Huang Simei who was beaming with joy, she couldn't even utter a word of opposition: .

When talking about the future of Qiongju, Huang Simi's face seemed to be covered with a faint golden light. She was really planning the future of Qiongju with her heart.

Whether it is the former Oriental Teahouse and Land Reclamation, or the current Triangle Park Teahouse, in the final analysis, it is all for the better future of Qiongju Opera.

Smiling faintly, Meng Huaxiang took her hand: "It's his blessing that Ah Nian can marry you!"

In the past, my son always said that his ancestors burned high incense to marry such a good wife as Huang Simei, but Meng Huaxiang didn't think so.

But in the past few years, ever since Qiongju drama declined and Zhang Shennian set up a stall in the sea, Meng Huaxiang could tell that this daughter-in-law is really good!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and looked at each other, their eyes were red for a moment.

Huang Simei gave Meng Huaxiang a big hug: "Grandmother, don't worry! The Qiong Opera left by our ancestors will definitely get better and better! If I still don't have the ability to make it better, then let Wenxuan He Wenqian continues to take over the baton! One day, our Qiong Opera will not only go out of the island, but also go overseas!"
