On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the team leader, Father Yang, came back from a meeting in the commune and asked everyone to gather in the sun drying yard to talk things over.
Yang Rui and Wen Nuan walked slowly, and since their home was relatively remote, they were basically the last to arrive.
After they arrived, Father Yang began to talk: "Everyone is here, right?"
"Well, Uncle Captain, just tell me! He's freezing to death. Just look at my little kid and he's blowing his nose!"
"Captain, we're all here! Just tell us!"
"..."
Father Yang then started to talk: "This year our commune has a performance on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. What will we perform?
It’s still our big Yangko! Only one team from each brigade is allowed. If any brigade wins the commune performance and takes first place, it can go to the county performance!
Our Yangjiatun brigade cannot do errands! "
"That's necessary. Let me tell you, Uncle Captain, the people in our brigade are as capable as those in the commune. That is to say, they are a little weaker than them in terms of clothing!"
Sister-in-law Cui is a good performer at Yangko, and she has a lot of say in this.
"Yes, the Gangzi family is right! If you have people from our village, they will be great!" Some people agreed with Sister Cui's words, and the Gangzi family refers to Sister Cui.
"Yes, then everyone is awesome. I think back when I was young, there was no one within a dozen miles around who didn't praise me, Ma Cuihua!"
"Go, go, you shameless old man! Why are you everywhere?"
"Hey, why are you dissatisfied? Back then, I was standing in the front row!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Isn't the salesman in our village Yang Laosi? Do you still remember? When Yang Laosi was little, he was so naughty!"
"Remember! Then why don't you remember? Tuike can eat delicious food. Two children are pushers. There is always another person in our village. It's Yang Laosi. It's always him.
Pushing and twisting at the same time, it’s a great performance! He was just replaced two years ago when he grew taller! "
"Why should I change it? He won't be on the children's side anymore, but on the adults' side, won't he be the first in line?"
"Yes, yes, I also remember that he was probably a teenager at that time, and he twisted a green snake. It was really exciting! I just watched him during the whole scene!"
"..."
"..."
Nuan Nuan looked at Yang Rui next to him and twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn't imagine him doing the Yangko dance, and he was also doing it like a thief!
Yang Rui naturally noticed the strange look in his wife's eyes and touched his nose in embarrassment, but he also acquiesced in his past "great achievements".
The main reason was that there were not many good food at that time, so he was happy to go and eat good food just by dancing the Yangko dance. What you eat is real!
Also, when he was young, he looked handsome, with red lips and white teeth.
As soon as he put on the little clothes, put on makeup, and finally put a rouge mole on the center of his eyebrow, there was no one in the whole village who was more handsome than him. This was also one of the reasons, so the adults in the village were willing to let him superior.
Father Yang pressed down the hand that was covered with a muff, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Stop it first! Listen to me! Otherwise, don't go! We are the last in the village!"
The captain showed off his power, and the entire sunbathing area became quiet.
Father Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Who will join the Yangko team in our village this year?
Let’s just say it first, if you can’t move your arms and legs, don’t sign up here. That means you, Si Ganba!
It's okay to dance around in our village, but if you go out and show your eyes, you will be a loser! "
As he spoke, he pointed directly at an old man in the crowd, his name was Si Ganba.
Si Ganba's life was not good. His parents died early and his family was poor. He grew up eating a lot of food. He never married a wife, so naturally he had no children.
Originally, I was the fourth eldest child in my family, with three older brothers and two younger brothers.
They are called Da Lai, Er Diao and San Fatty respectively, the middle one is called Si Ganba, and the two younger brothers are called Wu Qiuzi and Liu Monkey respectively.
And because his parents died early and didn't give him a big name, his nickname, Siganba, never changed.
Anyway, due to war, famine, illness and other reasons, he was the only one who survived.
But now that he is older, fewer people call him Si Ganba. Most people call him Si Shu and Si Shu Grandpa.
There were no entertainment items at this time. In order to relieve his loneliness, he would do a big Yangko dance when he had nothing to do.
Just twist it, if you twist it out, you will be called a kowtow, and your hands and feet will not obey orders. He is from the same village, and no one will laugh at him.
But when it was related to the honor of the entire team, he couldn't be allowed to do it.
"Hey, Brother Qing, I'm not going to come. I'll be a non-staff member for them, delivering tea and pouring water, right?"
Siganba knew that Yang's father had always taken good care of him, so he was very close to Yang's father and always called him "brother".
Yang Daqing is Yang’s father’s name!
Yang's father then nodded: "Who is going? Hurry up and let us choose the people in the team first, and then we will rehearse and rehearse quickly. The performance will be held in a few days!"
Sister-in-law Cui was the first to raise her hand to sign up: "Uncle Captain, I'll go!"
Father Yang nodded: "The one from Gangzi's family counts as one!"
"Captain, I'm going too!" The person who said this was Song Chunfang, the women's director. How could such a great event be without her?
"Okay! Our women's director will come too!" Yang's father teased with a smile, but it was not because Song Chunfang was a brigade cadre that he let her go, but because Song Chunfang really performed well.
"I'll go too!" Ma Cuihua, who spoke at the front, actively signed up!
Father Yang then nodded: "Ma Cuihua is going too, don't look at her talkative words, she does have some skills!"
Then, several women signed up one after another.
Yang's father shouted again: "Where are the old men in our village? Let the old women come! Then what use are you?"
At this time, Si Ganba suggested: "Brother Qing, let your fourth child take the role! He is great. He played the role of Lao Lang in Green Snake at that time. Why don't you let him try again this time?"
As soon as Si Ganba's words came out, the eyes of all the young and old men in the village were focused on the corner where Yang Rui and Nuan Nuan were standing.
At this time, Yang Rui was really...unspeakably miserable. He wanted to go back a few years ago and slap himself to death.
He stumbled and refused: "No, Fourth Uncle, I won't do it this time!
My wife is pregnant right now, so I don’t have to worry about those things! When we go to the village performance, I'll show it to you! "
"Don't worry, if you don't go, what's there to see? I won't be rated first!"
Yang Rui was a little helpless: "Fourth uncle, don't put such a high hat on me!"
At this time, Erxiu also said beside him: "Brother Rui, why don't you go and I'll be your partner then!"
"Yes, yes, you two worked as pushers when you were young! Now you two play the role of Green and White Snake, which is definitely worth watching!"
