Qiong Yin lingers

Chapter 27 Towards Prosperity
As soon as the time to welcome the "public" arrives, the whole village is full of noisy firecrackers one after another.

In the sound of firecrackers, Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping recited "BJ Time" with music and poems on the rear projection TV.

"At this moment, our hearts are beating close to midnight on New Year's Eve, and we are hearing the rapid rush of the Year of the Ox coming from the snow!"

"At this moment, the reform and opening up of China is facing winds from all directions. When the second hand of BJ time moves, it is the whole river running up and down."

"Tonight, let us take advantage of the night of New Year's Eve and gather towards zero. Stepping on the remaining snow of this century, we will countdown and sprint towards prosperity."

"Let us announce to the world at the speed and name of BJ Time: China will send an invitation to future time in advance."

In Qiong opera, there are countless patriotic arias and whole plays, such as "Song of Righteous Qi", "Red Flag Never Falls" and so on.

Zhang Shennian and Huang Simimei, who have studied Qiongju opera since childhood, also have a simple family and country concept and passionate patriotism. Hearing this passage, they are all excited and passionate.

They were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. Now they are the beneficiaries of the reform and opening up market economy, and they have a deep love for this land.

While the firecrackers were jumping, Huang Simimei and Zhang Shennian looked at each other and smiled. Huang Simimei said softly: "Time is also sending us an invitation. Reform and opening up, construction of four modernizations, seize the day and night! This year, I think more How to respond to Comrade Xiaoping’s call, get rich first and get rich later, and lead Erxian Village to become rich collectively!”

Zhang Shennian is full of praise for "BJ Time", and agrees with both hands and feet to his wife's proposal: "The writing is great! We are experiencing a great change of the times! We are witnesses and witnesses of history, He is also a builder of modernization! Now that our life is booming, we must not forget our folks and elders! Simei, you just let go, if you need me to communicate with my mother, just say it!"

Huang Simei's family was well-off back then, and the villagers were greatly surprised that she was willing to marry Zhang Shennian.

But at this moment, Huang Simi had a sweet smile on her face, knowing that she was married correctly: Zhang Shennian has ideas, dares to fight, dares to break through, is responsible and responsible, such a man, even if he falls down once, can make a comeback.

Today's Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe is able to survive the ups and downs, all thanks to her husband who took the first step and went to Sanya to set up a stall as a peddler.

If not, she would not follow in his footsteps and open up a wasteland troupe; if she did not have a husband who went to Yangpu without forgetting her home, she would not have come up with the idea of ​​running a teahouse, nor would she have thought of renovating the land for new seedlings.

If the husband and wife are of one mind, the profit will be cut off.

Now they have not only paid off the loan, but also have a huge sum of money in their lives, which can be said to be proud of themselves.

Huang Simei thought about giving back to the society and helping more laid-off workers to find a job: "I thought about it. At present, we not only have local product sales channels in Sanya, Haikou and Yangpu, but also sea transportation, so we will expand It is a good way to open up wasteland, hire migrant workers to cultivate, or cooperate in contracting..."

"My wife is really the most kind-hearted in the world! I really burned high incense in my previous life!"

Zhang Shennian laughed loudly, Huang Simi patted him angrily: "I still want to ask the village chief to sponsor a primary and secondary school..."

The best way to get these laid-off families out of the haze is to let their children go to the future and let them see hope!

Therefore, she wants to open a primary school and junior high school in Erxian Village, like the previous Dongfang Kindergarten, with very low fees and good educational conditions.

Because now the children in Erxian Village have to go over mountains and mountains to study in the big village next door.

As a result, the cost for each family to provide a child to study will quietly rise.It is also for this reason that many children in Erxian Village are reluctant to continue their studies after barely finishing the nine-year compulsory education.

Huang Simei probably knew that, on the one hand, it is a long way to go to study and the cost is high; on the other hand, because of being away from home and having a poor foundation, it is easy for them to form a "poor student effect" during their studies.

Especially now that a large number of workers have been laid off, it will be even more difficult for these parents to support their children to study.

Zhang Shennian gave another rainbow fart to Huang Simmei: "Education is a century-old plan! Now we only think about helping the fathers and villagers to sell the local goods and let everyone get rid of poverty, but we forget that spiritual poverty is better than material poverty It's even more frightening! If the children of Erxian Village are like their ancestors, facing the loess and back to the sky, the future of Erxian Village will not change much! Knowledge can change destiny!"

Nestled in Zhang Chennian's arms, Huang Simi felt full of happiness again: no matter what she wanted to do, Zhang Shennian would always support her.

The husband and wife were discussing the plan to help Erxian Village. Before they knew it, the loud crowing of roosters came from far and near to their ears.

When the New Year arrives on the first day of the first lunar month, every household sets off firecrackers.

Huang Simei got up after a nap, and hurriedly put on new clothes for the child, and put on a new red dress for herself.

Influenced by Meng Huaxiang, the whole family from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year must wear some red on their bodies, and they cannot wear all white or all black.

She was wearing a double-sided embroidered red two-piece suit specially made by Zhong Lihua: a modified cheongsam-style shirt with mid-sleeves, paired with an ankle-length A-line skirt, and long earrings made of Li brocade lines. With her hair coiled up high, she looks dignified and charming.

After the whole family prepares food and drinks, people from the family come to pay New Year's greetings one after another. First are the seven aunts and eight aunts of the troupe, and then the business partners of the husband and wife. It is extremely lively.

Zhang Wenxuan and Zhang Wenqian received the red envelopes and went to the canteen at the door to buy cars and guns.Although Zhang Shennian often buys them all kinds of toys, the New Year's money is still basically handed over to the canteen.

Especially Zhang Wenxuan, the room is full of piles, all kinds of machine guns and toy cars; Zhang Wenqian is a variety of dolls, most of which are placed on the bed.

Huang Simei often muttered that she didn't want them to pile up so many things in their house.

But Zhang Shennian was famous for doting on his children, and he supported them openly and secretly. Huang Simimei's words were useless, so he could only helplessly watch the three of them play happily in the yard.

Wang Yunfei brought his new daughter-in-law to pay New Year's greetings. When they saw Meng Huaxiang, they all bowed together and sealed a big red envelope: "Gong Xi Fa Cai! I wish you good health in the new year, and you will perform Wudan on stage every day!"

Wang Yunfei has become a loyal fan of Meng Huaxiang since watching the excerpt of Meng Huaxiang's "Mu Guiying in Command", and he will always be in awe when seeing her.

Meng Huaxiang also admired this young and motivated junior, and often asked Zhang Shennian to learn from him.But ever since Zhang Shennian called Wang Yunfei and Lin Zirou about their divorce, she began to have a prejudice against Wang Yunfei: she grew up and grew old under the influence of "truth, goodness and beauty" in Qiong Opera, and what she hated most was "Chen Shimei" Fu The practice of changing wives and leaving the chaff is nothing more than the consummation of the chaff's wife not going to court.

Although Zhang Shennian repeatedly mentioned to Meng Huaxiang that the reasons for Wang Yunfei and Lin Zirou's unsatisfactory marriage were complicated, Meng Huaxiang firmly believed that Wang Yunfei was stunned by the market economy, and I'm sorry for Lin Zirou, who has been with him for many years camaraderie.

Also because of this reason, Meng Huaxiang only sent a big red envelope to Wang Yunfei's second wedding, and even Huang Simei didn't allow her to participate.

Wang Yunfei didn't mind this at all, and even called Meng Huaxiang directly, saying that the new wife is also a good one, and the old lady will definitely like her in the future after seeing people's hearts for a long time.

A few days ago, Wang Yunfei made a special phone call to ask Meng Huaxiang to show him face, and not to let the new wife down when he came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.

Meng Huaxiang still has this measure.

Whether you like it or not, for those who celebrate the new year, Meng Huaxiang accepted the red envelope with a smile, and wrapped a big red envelope for each of them: "The world belongs to you, and the new year will be good! Peace and safety! Be healthy! Good luck!"

Wang Yunfei was so happy that he sighed a few times, and pushed the new wife with his arm: "Quick! Thank you, old leader! She is a golden word, and if we take it, we will be able to go smoothly for a whole year!"

The new wife smiled and bowed together with Wang Yunfei, looking very cute.

*
After Wang Yunfei and his wife Lin Zirou divorced, they were depressed for a long time.

He drank to soothe his sorrows, and couldn't sleep every night. During that time, Secretary Liu Xinru never left, and accompanied him through the darkest time.

After Wang Yunfei regained his strength, the two formally dated, and then they got married as a matter of course.

Zhang Shennian knew that Wang Yunfei was not an ungrateful person, the matter between him and his wife Lin Zirou was a family matter after all, no matter how others looked at it, it was just a crowd of onlookers.

But every time Meng Huaxiang mentioned it, she would curse and curse: "Sure enough, if you have money, you will turn bad! This Wang Yunfei must have made money, and his heart was broken, and he left his original wife! It's like Chen Shimei is reborn..."

He even wished to behead Wang Yunfei with a dog's head, and Zhang Shennian was frightened. He repeatedly explained to her that they broke up peacefully, and the divorce did not treat Lin Zirou badly.

It's just that the old man couldn't listen to it anyway, and always felt that Wang Yunfei was wrong about the divorce.

Fortunately, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Huaxiang finally did not lose his sense of proportion, and Zhang Shennian, who was on the sidelines, felt relieved.

*
Zhang Wenxuan and Zhang Wenqian happily ran in the door with fireworks in their hands. When they saw Wang Yunfei, they shouted: "Uncle Wang, Happy New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

Wang Yunfei stuffed them with big red envelopes, with a special light in his eyes: "Oh, I don't know when I will have such a big cub! Hahaha, come on, uncle hug!"

Zhang Shennian poked him quietly with his elbow: "If it wasn't for your old age saying that career is the priority, let sister-in-law get rid of it first..."

It was only after he blurted out that he remembered that Wang Yunfei and Lin Zirou had already separated, Zhang Shennian awkwardly stopped the conversation, and dragged him into the room for a drink.

One of the reasons for Wang Yunfei and Lin Zirou's divorce is that they have been married for many years, and Lin Zirou's stomach has not moved.

Wang Yunfei seems to be unrestrained, but in fact he is very traditional in his bones, and his mind is full of the old thinking that "there are three types of unfilial piety and no descendants are the biggest".

Over the years, the business has grown bigger and bigger, and his wife has watched him soar all the way, but has always been depressed, and she also figured out his thoughts.

When they got divorced, Wang Yunfei was willing to give up most of the family property.

So, the two broke up peacefully.

As soon as Zhong Lihua entered the door, she heard Zhang Shennian calling Wang Yunfei to drink, and shouted loudly with hearty laughter: "Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy New Year! You can't drink without me! Let us sisters go together!"

Behind her are nine mighty families, all sisters who have followed her to learn and weave Li brocade in the past two or three years.

Zhong Lihua, who was originally shy and introverted, not only became an excellent Li Jin teacher after being "taught" by Huang Simimei, but also treated people and things with grace, completely losing the restraint she had when she first left Erxianling.

Behind her, all the elder sisters with green tattoos were talking and laughing happily, no different from the Han residents.

After the table, everyone pushes and changes glasses, which is very relaxed and natural.

*
Between the toasts and cups, Weaver Fu Wenli led the two children to Huang Simimei: "These are two cubs from my family. They both like to sing operas. I wonder if they can ask for a meal in the Qiong Opera Troupe?"

After Fu Wenli became a weaver, the whole family has been living with Huang Simei as local goods, and later tried to plant new seedlings. Their family was also the first batch of supporters. After Zhang Shennian returned to the island to develop, her husband Liu Hongqiang took the initiative to invite Ying to become a weaver. became Zhang Shennian's full-time driver.

Now that Zhang Shennian seldom floats on the sea, the focus has shifted to the development of the island's business. The husband and wife can be regarded as following Zhang Shennian and Huang Simi, and living a good life little by little.

The two children fell in love with Qiongju opera because they were studying in Dongfang Kindergarten. After returning home, they yelled for their parents to play the disc every day.

That's why Fu Wenli brought them here today, hoping to join the group as apprentices.

Looking at the big bright eyes of the two children, Huang Simei was in trouble, and turned to look at Meng Huaxiang.

If it was in the past, Huang Simimei must be ecstatic, especially when the troupe is currently out of business, it is a great joy to have fresh blood come in.

But now, the Qiongju opera market is declining day by day. Even if Huang Simi does her best, spends a lot of money on publicity vehicles, and adapts excerpts, it still can't save the current decline of Qiongju opera.

In addition, Qiongju opera also needs children's skills. Nowadays, children have nine years of compulsory education, and parents are reluctant to let their children suffer extra hardships. It is even more difficult to cultivate talents.

Meng Huaxiang was so anxious to put up new advertisements on the telephone poles several times, but she came back in succession, feeling extremely disappointed.

It is also because of this that Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe has not accepted new ones for a long time.

Seeing her daughter-in-law's eyes asking for help, Meng Huaxiang's eyes dimmed: because Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao stepped on the Qiong Opera Troupe after they left, she was completely chilled, and because the teahouse business is booming now, and Qiong Opera performances are not popular, she has lost her original The kind of pride that must send Qiongju opera to the Spring Festival Gala.
