Chapter 442 Relics
Within the second ring road of the capital city, Shichahai, in an alley a few minutes away from the pedestrian street, Xia Mu and Wang Guo followed the elder brother to the place where he lived.

Xia Mu and the two sat on the chairs, looking at everything in the house in front of them, it was a little unbelievable, the house of more than ten square meters, the elder brother and his wife lived in such a room.

This is different from what others have said, living in the second ring road of the capital, the hutong life of hundreds of millions!

Xia Mu was holding a cup of tea that the elder brother's wife poured for them just now, and said in disbelief, "Senior brother, do you two live here?"

"Yes, this is your sister-in-law's house. In fact, many people think that life in the hutongs within the second ring road is good. To put it bluntly, it's just like that. You see, the house we live in is more than ten square meters. We are not bad. .

In fact, there are more large courtyards here, and some families live in a house of more than ten square meters.

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, you have to go to the public toilets in the alley to go to the toilet.

You need to take a simple shower by yourself when you take a bath, and you have to turn sideways to get in and out, let alone your personal space? "

Xia Mu nodded, curious: "Then sell the house here, at worst, move out of the second ring road, isn't that okay?"

"Hehe, now there is a price but no market, so many people are eager to sell it, even if it is cheaper, it's a pity not to let it go! Also, demolition is not allowed in the second ring road now, it would be great if the demolition is allowed."

Xia Mu nodded, this was different from the life he imagined in the alleys inside the second ring road.

At this time, the eldest brother's wife brought some fruits, put them in front of the two of them and said, "Actually, having a bite to eat and a roof tile to cover one's body is enough."

Then the elder brother's wife brought a folded small stool, sat next to her and continued: "Many people are in the same situation as us. Even if they move, they will be paid a million yuan, not to mention changing an apartment at the original location, even in the suburbs. The down payment is not enough.

I just hope that one day if the house is going to be replaced, it will be enough to be closer to the place where I grew up. "

Xia Mu nodded when he heard the words, and then asked: "By the way, my sister-in-law asked you something, how is this Peking opera actor doing now?"

"Alas..." a long sigh.

The elder brother's wife shook her head, and then said: "The income is very low, especially if Corey has never been popular before. If he can grit his teeth and enter the troupe without changing careers, he can only play tricks and share the leftovers. The lining is not enough."

Xia Mu nodded when he heard the words, and the elder brother also said with a little helplessness: "She is talking about people who graduated from the theater, not to mention people like me who have studied hard with the theater troupe since childhood.

Your sister-in-law and I can only do the work ourselves. Now opera performers earn extra money either from the funds allocated by the state, such as rehearsing new plays, or judging some awards.

Then there are those who receive special allowances, which can be several thousand per month, but it is not the turn of ordinary people.

The last thing is to run to the pier, follow the big names to run out of town, pay homage to the hall, and return the big head to the corner, and the remaining group of people will not have much points. "

"Then there are many opportunities to go out and perform at the dock?"

The elder brother shook his head: "The income from running the dock is also very sluggish."

The elder brother's wife said helplessly: "Not to mention us who do our own jobs, although those famous actors have their own studios, but these studios are basically affiliated to the troupe.

There are also those who have completely left the system and went to sea, Wang Peiyu.

But even for her, when she left the Shangjingyuan and went out on her own, it was a bloodbath!
In the end, he had to go back to the courtyard, which was the case for all the popular top actors, not to mention other people. "

But Wang Guo also became curious. He just heard the couple talk about the awards, which means that as long as they have real skills, it is possible to stand out, so he was curious: "Then why don't you participate in the awards? Although I don't I know opera, but I saw that you two performed in the teahouse, and many fanciers liked it very much!"

The elder brother smiled helplessly, and said to his wife at the side: "Daughter-in-law, tell him, you know the twists and turns here better than me!"

"The reason why we can still perform in the teahouse on weekends is thanks to the care of the teahouse owner.

As for the awards, it's all about the actors in the troupe. It's not our turn, and the depth of the water is not something ordinary actors can afford. "

"That's right, how many people end up throwing away the hard work they have worked so hard on since they were young, and it's just a pity that they have all the skills in civil and martial arts." The elder brother sighed helplessly, and then said: "Your sister-in-law and I , I really can’t bear to lose this ability. You also know, those of us who were born in opera, when we were young, how did we make a movement, a kick, a somersault, a piece of opera, and a song.

I really can't bear to throw it away for no reason, so your sister-in-law and I go to work from Monday to Friday, and we go to act when we have a chance on weekends. "

Xia Mu knows this kind of feeling, it is like studying hard for ten years, the knowledge learned so hard is approaching the college entrance examination, but is refused to enter, this feeling can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

Xia Mu felt the same, and then asked: "Eldest senior brother, was master okay when he left?"

"Master, the old man left peacefully. I also contacted a few brothers who could be contacted. You also know that our brothers come from all corners of the country. Once separated, it is difficult to get together.

I planned to go to your hometown and look for you through your family members, but when Master was in critical condition, I was not allowed to go, for fear of delaying your future, saying that you just had a little prospect in the film and television industry, so it will not be a distraction. "

Hearing this, Xia Mu burst into tears, his chest felt uncomfortable, and he said with a bit of tears: "I'm sorry Master, Master accepted me as a disciple for nothing."

The elder brother patted Xia Mu's shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows are the normal state of this world, so don't take it to heart."

"By the way, brother, master once asked my family to send a message, asking me to help him with something, do you know?"

The senior brother nodded, then got up slowly, rummaged through the room for a while, then took out a wooden box, handed it to Xia Mu, and then said: "This wooden box was given to me by Master before he died, and he said it was waiting for you to receive it." When the news came to him, let me give it to you, but the master didn't let me see what's in it."

Xia Mu nodded and took it, opened the wooden box, and immediately inside the wooden box, a book that was firmly bound together with a needle and thread appeared in front of Xia Mu.

The pages of the book are yellowed, probably because of its age. This book looks like it was made by one person, more like a manuscript.

And on the letter, there was an envelope. Judging from the texture, the envelope was new, and the two things were obviously not of the same age.

Look at the name of a person written on the surface of the envelope—Xia Mu!
Xia Mu understood immediately, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and read it.
