The Pentium Era - South to North

No matter how late she went to bed the night before, Tan Shuzhen would definitely get up at around six o'clock the next morning to hang her throat.

There is also a stone fence in front of the Yue Opera Troupe, but this stone fence is not as high as that of the Wu Opera Troupe. Above the stone fence, close to the hillside on the left, there is a lush castor field.

The location of the Castor Field turned out to be a garbage dump, where garbage had been piled up over the years without being cleared away. When the sun shines, it emits a stench.

Later, someone couldn't stand it any longer, so they scattered a few handfuls of castor seeds there, and the castor plants began to grow. Although everyone's garbage continued to be dumped there, it didn't look so dazzling because of the cover of the castor beans. The smell is also isolated.

It's just that in autumn and winter, after the castor beans have declined and withered, the garbage dumps are exposed again. However, the garbage dumps at this time are scattered with a large number of castor poles and leaves. Although they are messy, they are not so eye-catching. In addition to autumn and winter, the garbage itself is not Everyone is used to such a strong smell.

In March of the following year, when the temperature in the valley rises, there is no need to sow seeds. A large number of castor seedlings will naturally grow in that area.

Castor is originally a delicate plant that requires careful care, but when it comes here, everyone says that the castor in the Yue Opera Troupe is just like the Yue Opera Troupe. It grows wild as it grows.

Coming from the castor field, there is a row of fig trees along the edge of the stone farm. Every morning, Tan Shuzhen stands between the two fig trees, facing the outside of the valley, singing her voice, her voice being squeezed by the green hills on both sides. Being able to walk in one direction and wandering out, even people from the Wu Opera Troupe can hear.

When they heard the sound coming from the valley, they knew that Tan Shuzhen had gotten up.

After getting married, Feng Laogui and Tan Shuzhen never had sex together again.

At first, when Tan Shuzhen went down, after a while, Feng Laogui followed her as usual. Tan Shuzhen just opened her voice for a while, and when she saw Feng Laogui coming down, Tan Shuzhen stopped talking. She wore bloomers and walked away along the fig tree. , walked to the castor field, stared blankly at a few chickens eating garbage in the shade, and then went up.

Feng Laogui was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Tan Shuzhen was unwilling to hang up with him. The next day, when Tan Shuzhen went downstairs, Feng Laogui did not follow her, but sat the steel pot for cooking porridge at the door. On the briquette stove, open the lid slightly so that even if the water boils, it will not leak out.

Feng Laogui went downstairs and walked outside along the road. Tan Shuzhen looked at his back and sent him off with a babbling sound.

Feng Laogui walked up the semicircular slope. Xu Jianmei and several young practitioners were standing between the camphor and tallow trees, babbling and hollering. Feng Laogui stood on the side and followed suit. He raised his voice, then went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to work.

Almost from the second day of their wedding, they had never had sex together, and even had breakfast separately.

Marriage did not bring them closer, but just crossed a threshold, found their respective places under the same roof and continued to stay. Because of what, the two of them knew very well, but no one wanted to mention it again.

…

Feng Laogui heard Tan Shuzhen's babbling voice coming from downstairs. He sat up on the bed and wondered whether he should wait for Tan Shuzhen to come up and tell her about the list. He saw an empty glass on the table. , this is also the tacit understanding they formed. It was Tan Shuzhen telling Feng Laogui that for breakfast today, she would drink milk and eat biscuits instead of making porridge.

Feng Laogui stood up, took the dental cup and towel, and looked at the empty cup on the table. He felt that the cup was not telling him not to stop making porridge, but that it was saying, you can go.

After Feng Laogui finished washing, he went downstairs with his handbag and walked to Gaofang. He saw Xu Jianmei still standing there with several young practitioners, babbling and hoarse.

Feng Laogui did not stand aside today. Instead, he went directly to the office, lay down on the desk, and continued to sleep. He did not wake up until Xu Jianmei brought him an enamel bowl of porridge and a salted duck egg and knocked on the table. Come.

"What are you doing? You had a fight with Tan Shuzhen last night and didn't sleep well?" Xu Jianmei asked.

"What do we have to argue about?"

Feng Laogui said angrily. As soon as he said the words, he felt that Xu Jianmei's words were wrong. Did she really know about the list?

Feng Laogui looked at Xu Jianmei and asked, "Did you hear something?"

Xu Jianmei opened a pair of innocent eyes: "What did you hear? What happened? What will happen to this shabby theater troupe, please tell me, Laogui."

Feng Laogui quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, just prepare well for your rehearsal."

"It's still early, isn't it my afternoon? There are only three lines in total in the morning, and I have memorized them backwards. Whatever preparation is needed is up to you and Tan Shuzhen."

Xu Jianmei pouted and said. After hearing what Xu Jianmei said and looking at her expression, Feng Laogui felt that she didn't know about it yet.

Feng Laogui remembered that the reason why he never told Tan Shuzhen or revealed it to Xu Jianmei was actually that he still hoped that Ding Baigou would change his mind when he woke up. Nothing happened.

In this world, news is always faster than people running. What Feng Laogui didn't know was that the whole group knew about the list change last night. Only Tan Shuzhen didn't know, and what's more, only Tan Shuzhen didn't know. He thought others didn't know yet.

At nine o'clock, as before, Tan Shuzhen arrived at the practice room. As soon as she entered, almost everyone stopped and looked at her. Tan Shuzhen was stunned for a moment. What happened to these people today?

She quietly lowered her head and looked at herself, but found nothing. When she walked aside to put her bag away, she took out the makeup mirror inside and secretly took a look, and then she felt relieved.

But after the rehearsal started, there were still a lot of problems. First, when Feng Laogui was acting opposite her, it seemed that he never dared to look at her. He was avoiding her eyes. His words were dry and dull, not brilliant at all, and he always made mistakes. They had to start over again.

It was not until the fourth time that the maid played by Xu Jianmei ran up and was supposed to say: "Miss, Miss, the master and the old lady are here." But Xu Jianmei said "the master and the old lady are here." People present included Feng The old man and the musician both laughed.

Tan Shuzhen was completely annoyed and cursed: "What happened to you today? Can you still rehearse well?"

Everyone else was silent. When she saw Xu Jianmei still laughing, she became even more annoyed and shouted at her: "Is this your first day of acting? You can't recite all three lines in a play. Are you sorry?" "

Everyone stood there stunned, watching them silently.

Xu Jianmei snorted, raised her head, spun around in half a circle, turned to Tan Shuzhen, and walked away.

Tan Shuzhen was so angry that she wanted to rush over and hold her back. Teacher Li quickly stepped in front, clapped her hands and said:

"Okay, okay, everyone is tired from rehearsing these days. That's it for this morning. Let's go back and rest first."

Xu Jianmei walked straight out. Tan Shuzhen looked at Teacher Li. The teacher sighed and said softly: "Go back and rest for a while, your eyes are bloodshot."

Tan Shuzhen was still angry, stuffed things into her bag randomly, and left.

Teacher Li walked over and asked Feng Laogui: "You didn't tell her?"

Feng Laogui nodded.

"You——!" Teacher Li glared at Feng Laogui and cursed: "I really don't know what you are thinking!"

Tan Shuzhen came down from Gaofang and walked towards the valley.

"Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen." Someone called from behind.

Tan Shuzhen stopped and turned around. She saw Xiangxiang calling her, and Tan Shuzhen was waiting for her to approach.

Xiangxiang looked behind her, then looked at Tan Shuzhen and asked, "Don't you know yet?"

"Do not know what is this?"

"Hey, you really don't know anything, you idiot..."

Xiangxiang pulled Tan Shuzhen and walked a few steps forward, walking behind a transformer placed between two poles so that people coming down the slope would not be able to see them.

Tan Shuzhen asked doubtfully: "Xiangxiang, you are so sneaky, what do you want to say?"

"The performance list of this arts festival has been changed. For these two plays in the troupe, it is not you but Xu Jianmei who is on stage."

Tan Shuzhen almost laughed. Is there any funnier joke than this? She felt that Xiangxiang was teasing her, but looking at Xiangxiang's serious face, and thinking about all the strange things in the morning, Tan Shuzhen suddenly felt that she had no idea, and she asked:

"How did you know?"

"Everyone in the group knows it, but you don't know it, and this noble guy didn't tell you?"

Tan Shuzhen shook her head and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday afternoon, that Ding Baigou came. He, Lao Gui, and Teacher Li decided on it after discussing it in the office."

Tan Shuzhen was shocked, and her face turned pale. She felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand. No wonder, no wonder, this morning, from the moment she walked into the practice room, everyone treated her as a joke. Look, I'm still so proud.

She thought of Xu Jianmei's "hum", that brisk turn, and the disdainful back that was thrown at her. Tan Shuzhen felt that her head was going to explode, and her hands and feet were cold.

You, you, Tan Shuzhen, you are really a joke.

"Zhenzhen, are you okay?" Xiangxiang asked.

Tan Shuzhen tried her best to control herself. She shook her head and said it's okay, it's okay, Xiangxiang. I just wanted to tell the group to see if I could replace someone. Over at the cultural center, learning songs is very time-consuming, and Teacher Shi is very demanding. Yan, Xiangxiang, let me tell you something. Don’t tell others.

"Okay, Zhenzhen, tell me."

"Do you know who we invited for this art festival? Dong Xhua! Haha, guess what Teacher Shi told me? She said, let me go on stage to compete with her. Of course I wouldn't think so. Big star, how can I compare, but Teacher Shi is asking for it, what can I do? It’s very busy there, and I don’t even feel like I can handle it here..."

After talking about it, Tan Shuzhen felt that her words were incoherent. Tears were rolling in her eyes and about to roll out. Tan Shuzhen quickly took Xiangxiang's hand to say goodbye and turned around to walk into the valley.

The sun has not yet reached the top of the head, it is still overcast in the valley, and the cool breeze is blowing. Tan Shuzhen walks forward, tears flowing uncontrollably.
