Chapter 143 Skit Rehearsal
More than half a month before the Chinese New Year, those who came back to report brought news to the caravan, asking them to go home early to celebrate the New Year and to remember to prepare programs. They also brought the "Taoyuan Daily" with them.
The newspaper wrote about the "Spring Festival Gala" and also wrote about the rewards for the top three performers in the program in large, bold fonts.
The first place will receive twenty taels, the second place will receive fifteen taels, the third place will receive ten taels, and there will be three most popular prizes, each with a prize of five taels.
As soon as Long San got the newspaper, he started to worry. What were they, a group of big and strong men, going to perform on the stage?
If he had told me earlier, he wouldn't have come out this time.
This time we brought the goods to the southwest, and we sent all the top experts. After all, this side is in chaos now, and we were afraid that we couldn't protect the goods.
Fortunately, with the girl's blessing, everything went smoothly. As long as we hung the small black flag of Taoyuan Village, we would be warmly welcomed in every village we went to.
Long San sighed. Long Qi, that old guy, was the most active one and no one knew what their team would perform.
The newspaper said that each team of the Dragon Guard must perform at least one show.
Long Yinwei is worried, but the other people in the village are not. Everyone is working hard for the bonus.
The first place is equivalent to two months of work in the factory, it's like getting it for free! It's just a performance on the stage, how can it be more difficult than digging for food in the soil before?
Because of the gala, the women became kind-hearted and no longer allowed their children to work in the factory. Instead, they urged them to participate in the competition.
Lumei wanted to perform the stone-breaking trick with her chest, so she has been running around the village looking for stones these days.
Long Shi thought about it and decided to give his man a golden spear to lock his throat. For this purpose, he went to Wang's house and agreed with Wang Bing'er to lend her the spear.
Long Jiu: ???
If this woman wants to change her man, she can just say so directly. There is no need to take his life.
Yu Chaosheng specially wrote two formal invitations, inviting Xiao Shan and Ningyuan City Lord Jiang Qinghe and their families to attend the Taoyuan Village Spring Festival Gala.
The last time the Tartars attacked, Ningyuan suffered heavy losses and a lot of food was stolen. It was the timely provision of low-priced supplies by Taoyuan Village that allowed them to catch their breath.
Especially after knowing Xiao Shan's attitude towards Taoyuan Village, he didn't care much about this strange village.
Even Xiao Shan has to flatter others to build good relationships with them, but his background is not as good as Xiao Shan's!
After receiving the invitation, Jiang Qinghe personally wrote a reply and expressed his request to meet Mr. Chaoyang.
He and his sons are all fans of Mr. Chaoyang's books, and his wife and daughter are fans of "Anonymous Lay Buddhist". Every time an issue of "Taoyuan Women's Newspaper" comes out, they cut out the serialized stories of "Anonymous Lay Buddhist" and bind them neatly. After the stories of "Anonymous Lay Buddhist" go on sale, they buy many copies in a row.
According to him, only women would like such eye-catching things, and he couldn't stand it at all.
Jiang Qinghe stuffed the exposed "The Iceberg Prince and His Maid" into the bookshelf and thought so in his heart.
He doesn't like reading them at all and has stuffed them into the deepest part of the bookshelf.
……
……
Ten days before the Chinese New Year, all the caravans returned to Taoyuan Village.
Yu Chaosheng announced that all factories were on holiday and everyone was asked to go home and have a good rest to prepare for the competition. The preliminary round would be held in three days, the semi-final in five days, and the rehearsal in seven days.
During this period, no one is allowed to come to his house to disturb him, he needs to sleep soundly.
Xu family.
Xu Yuanzhi was surrounded by his family, and everyone was talking at the same time, which made him feel overwhelmed.
"No, Zhier, you can't leave us!" Yan Cuicui slammed the table.
Xu Yuanzhi shrank his neck.
He teamed up with his classmates and decided to act out the flooding of Jinshan Mountain in "The Legend of the White Snake" by "Anonymous Layman". He was drawn to play Fahai, and even asked Liu Zhen to sponsor his clothes.
"Mom..." Xu Yuanzhi really didn't want to be with his family.
This group of adults can’t be led at all!
"Even if you want to perform The Legend of White Snake with your classmates, you have to give your family some advice!" In the end, Xu Yuanzhi's father made the final decision. Xu Yuanzhi: You guys shook me!
……
……
Also set to perform in "The Legend of White Snake" with Xu Yuanzhi are San Gouzi, Liu Zhen and Liu Ru.
Well... San Gouzi drew Xiaoqing, Liu Zhen drew Bai Suzhen, and Liu Ru drew Xu Xian.
Xu Yuanzhi was relieved from the bottom of his heart. Although he wanted to play Xu Xian more, when he thought that Bai Niangzi and Xiao Qing were played by Liu Zhen and San Gouzi, he felt that his Fahai was very good! There is no better than this!
In addition to their "Legend of the White Snake", there are also "The Monkey King 3", "Grey Princess" and "Snow White".
The competition was so fierce that Xu Yuanzhi felt that if he didn't try his best, he might not even make it past the preliminary round.
Because his family was pushing him too hard, he simply arranged for a role in "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", with his grandfather playing the role of the old ox.
This is definitely not a personal vendetta, it's just that his grandfather is the oldest.
Hey.
The Pan family was also arranged by the younger generation. Pan Zhong and Pan Xiao looked at each other, their eyes rolled, and they took out the "Seven Fairies" borrowed from their aunt's library.
They both played the vicious stepsister in "Grey Daughter" and they really can't play the Seven Fairies!
The adults had no idea what was going on in the children's minds and thought they were giving serious advice, so they started studying the script in earnest as soon as they got it.
So much so that quarrels could be heard in the village every day.
"No, no, no, it's written in the script that you should give me a seductive look. What kind of look is that? Are you pouring manure on someone else's field?"
"Come on, come on, it's easier to talk while standing! If you can do it, come on!"
"I'll do it if I want! Just watch me! That's what we call a seductive look!"
“Hahahahahahahaha! You have an eye cramp hahahahaha!”
……
……
In the Wu family courtyard, Old Mrs. Wu was assigned to play the grandmother in "Grandma Wolf", and the head of the Wu family, Wu Ze, was arranged to play the wolf.
As soon as he put on the wolfskin borrowed from the Liu family, there was a burst of laughter in the yard. Everyone laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs, and Old Mrs. Wu laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face.
Wu Ze was so embarrassed that he wanted to take off the wolf skin, but he was immediately held down by his two younger brothers.
"Brother, this is exactly the effect we want. Even if we can't get into the top three, we have to win the most popular award!" Wu Yang, the second son of the Wu family, tried his best to hold back his laughter, and his face turned red.
Wu Yuan, the third son of the Wu family, also spoke up and advised, "Yes, big brother, we agreed that we can't lose to the Qi family!"
Wu Ze gritted his teeth. He wanted to say he would not act anymore, but then he remembered the harsh words he had said to Old Man Qi two days ago, "Forget it! So what! So what!"
Perhaps because of the influence of Pan Yingying and Yu Chao over the past year, they have learned to read and read so many storybooks, so the people in Taoyuan Village do not think that performing on stage is disrespectful or immoral.
The Liu family, for example, was very actively preparing.
Liu Mingxuan only said, "We in the Liu family must not lose face for Yingying," and the whole family began to prepare enthusiastically.
First, they held a group meeting to discuss and decide on the script, and then decided on the actors for the roles. The whole family joined in. Although they couldn't expect to get into the top three, they could still look forward to the most popular award.
After angrily updating 10,000 words, I found that the data had dropped sharply. Sister Pan and Old Yu cried, and Qizi also cried.
