The Pentium Era - South to North

Tan Shuzhen was not able to go to Beijing. The person who was most angry about this was her father, Lao Tan. Tan Shuzhen did not participate in the troupe's performance at the art festival. Feng Laogui and Lao Tan explained that it was mainly because there was no one in Yongcheng who could Lao Tan thought it was understandable to perform solo on such a big occasion, and the solo performance was the highlight of the opening ceremony. She needed Zhenzhen to support the scene.

On the day of the opening performance, he did not go to the scene, but the Yongcheng County TV station, with one camera, broadcast the entire performance live to the people of the county. Lao Tan watched Tan Shuzhen's performance on TV After singing solo, he also saw the reaction of the audience below. He felt that Feng Laogui was right. Without Zhenzhen, this performance would be ugly.

He also watched Xu Jianmei's two short plays and felt that this child still didn't make much progress, and that was probably it.

But when Lao Tan found out that Tan Shuzhen was not included in the list of performances coming to Beijing this time, he couldn't figure it out. If it was a helpless move to replace Tan Shuzhen with Xu Jianmei at the festival, what's going on now?

His own children know what Tan Shuzhen's abilities are. How could such an important performance in Beijing not have Tan Shuzhen? How could Xu Jianmei take the leading role?

Feng Laogui deliberately hid during those days and did not come home. Tan Shuzhen also disappeared. Even her granddaughter called for her mother every day, but she didn't know where her mother had gone.

Lao Tan wanted to go to the Cultural Bureau several times, and even went to the theater troupe to ask the director and Lao Li what was going on, and who made the list?

But Lao Tan was pulled back by Mrs. Tan. Mrs. Tan said, is this something she can ask? When you ask, it doesn't make it seem like Zhenzhen is inferior to others, and she still needs your old face to come out and support her. Ever since she was a child, when has Zhenzhen ever needed you to stand up for her?

Lao Tan thinks about it and it makes sense. This is really not something he can do. Today is different from the past. The Cultural Bureau is no longer the old director who invited him back. The troupe is no longer the old director. His son-in-law is still the head of the company. As for the deputy captain, if he wants to fight, he should fight for Zhenzhen. Why bother with your old face? I'm afraid that if you don't win the face, you will lose your own face.

Besides, is Zhenzhen worth fighting with Xu Jianmei? Given their strength, are these people blind?

Lao Tan has always believed that such mistakes will definitely be corrected and that such a thing will never really happen.

But the troupe still set off, led by the secretary and the county magistrate. Tan Shuzhen was left behind. Lao Tan felt that he was so ashamed that he did not even dare to go downstairs. He felt that as long as he appeared in front of people, people would definitely come to him. Pointing behind his back.

The second day after the troupe set off, Tan Shuzhen came home to see her daughter. The father and daughter started to quarrel without saying a few words. Lao Tan cursed Tan Shuzhen, Feng Laogui, Teacher Li, the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and even that What a bullshit old leader, he was also scolded by him.

"What the heck, he's just a country bumpkin. When he became an official, he felt that he was omnipotent and knew everything. He had to point fingers at everything. What he thought was a wise instruction was actually taken as a joke, and he still had the nerve to be shy. He is complacent on the stage. What does he know about literature and art? After talking for a long time, he is not a country bumpkin. He is not even a half-hearted person. A half-way person is better than him."

Lao Tan was cursing nonstop. Tan Shuzhen felt her head was spinning and wanted to run away. Lao Tan shouted angrily: "Where are you going?!"

"Go home."

"Go home? Go home and take your daughter back. There is no more drama to be performed, and your mother doesn't want to do it anymore?"

"But, I have to perform tonight."

"The troupe has gone to Beijing, what are you going to do?"

Tan Shuzhen suddenly felt a little discouraged. She murmured in a low voice: "I still have a cultural center..."

"Look at what you look like now. You can't perform well in serious performances. You go to some dance hall to sing in the middle of the night. Are you a singer? Are you going to sing Tianya Haijiao, or Lang Yamei? That song and dance hall Who are the people in there? Can there be a good person in there?"

Tan Shuzhen's mother was a little dissatisfied with Tan Shuzhen at first. She felt that if she didn't go to Beijing, she wouldn't go. It was not a serious performance in Beijing and it was no big deal. But when it came to singing in this dance hall, she was not angry at all. What she objected to the most was Tan Shuzhen singing in some dance hall.

Some time ago, she said she was rehearsing for an art festival performance. Mrs. Tan didn't say anything. The art festival has passed, why are you still going to the dance hall? Lao Tan was right, any good people there would be just hooligans.

Even if you sleep at home every day, you might as well hang out with these gangsters.

Tan Shuzhen couldn't bear the attack from both sides. She picked up her daughter and hurriedly left her parents' house. When she got downstairs, she discovered that she didn't even take her daughter's milk bottle or milk powder. She didn't bother to go back to get it. She just went to buy some on the street. Got bottles and milk powder.

Taking her daughter, Tan Shuzhen went to Teacher Shi. Teacher Shi told her that Jin Bo, the reporter from "Yongcheng Daily", had called you several times.

Tan Shuzhen pretended not to hear. She told Teacher Shi that she would not be able to sing for the next two days and would take care of her daughter at home.

"Aren't your grandparents helping to raise your daughter?" Teacher Shi was surprised.

Tan Shuzhen quickly said that her parents had not been feeling well these past two days.

"I met Mrs. Tan this morning and we stood and chatted for a while." Teacher Shi was even more surprised.

Tan Shuzhen had forgotten that Teacher Shi also lived in the dormitory courtyard of the cultural system and met her parents without looking up. She was a little embarrassed at the time and had to say that it was actually her grandpa who had a cold and was afraid of infecting her.

Teacher Shi nodded, that's it. It's true that he hasn't seen Mr. Tan Tan in the past two days. It turns out he is ill.

Tan Shuzhen asked for leave for only one week. This made Teacher Shi and other people in the art troupe very worried. They saw that fewer and fewer people came every night. Even those who still came asked questions when they came. Teacher Shi, is Tan Shuzhen coming?

"Come, come, definitely come, she has been feeling a little unwell these past two days." Teacher Shi told them,

"when will you arrive?"

Teacher Shi couldn't explain this. She couldn't explain to them the day after tomorrow. If Tan Shuzhen still didn't come, they would scold her and think she was cheating them of their ticket money. Teacher Shi could only tell them , come soon as soon as you recover.

Of all the people, only Shen Linlin was the happiest. Without Tan Shuzhen, she had returned to her original position in the song and dance hall. She felt that her singing skills had improved a lot in the past few days.

Although the appetites of those below have been whetted by Tan Shuzhen, no matter how hard Shen Linlin sings, there is still little applause, including the musicians on the stage who are listless when accompanying her.

But Shen Linlin still felt happy in her heart, and even some of her past arrogance was back. She pointed at a bit of black and cursed, "What's the matter with you?" Can you still blow it properly? If not, just take a rest.

Dianwu glared at her, but there was nothing he could do.

Haha, Shen Linlin was secretly happy in her heart. She liked to see them helpless, including Teacher Shi. She must be careful when talking to Shen Linlin now, otherwise, I won’t come either. Look at your song and dance hall, including this art. Group, can it still hold on?

Teacher Shi and others felt uncomfortable. In fact, Tan Shuzhen felt even more uncomfortable being alone at home. After dinner every day, it was the time she used to go to the dance hall to sing. People are very adaptable and dependent. She has adapted to this. She hurried outside, but now she was asked to stand in front of the window every day and watch the road ahead, which was getting darker little by little.

Tan Shuzhen now no longer sings at the top of her voice in the morning, but she can't sing at the top of her voice at night. After a few days, she feels that her throat is blocked and she feels uncomfortable all over.

From such a distance, she seemed to be able to hear the noisy sound in the dance hall, as well as the applause and screams. It was these applause and screams that made her miss and get used to it the most.

Tan Shuzhen felt that she had nowhere to vent her energy. She took a rag and scrubbed the cement floor over and over again. She put her daughter on the floor and let her crawl around the room. She always stood in front of the window blankly. Thinking about his own thoughts blankly.

As she thought about it for a long time, she felt a little panicked. She felt like she was floating in mid-air and couldn't land anywhere.

Her relationship is still with the troupe, and she also knows that it is impossible for no one in the troupe to treat her like Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan. Her salary is also paid as usual, and Teacher Li also checks her attendance every day. But she knew that she could no longer go back to that theater troupe. She could not go back to the place where she grew up, and it was impossible to go back.

Every time she passed under the high roof, her scalp would feel tight and her feet would speed up involuntarily. She was afraid of running into people from the troupe.

Although they met several times, the people in the troupe and her remained as usual, as if nothing had happened. It was as if Tan Shuzhen had been on Gao Hong a few minutes ago. Their voices and attitudes had not changed, but their relationship with each other had not changed. During this time, they were avoiding many things, which not only made Tan Shuzhen, but also the other party want to end their chat as soon as possible.

When Tan Shuzhen and the people from the troupe met, they had less and less time to chat. Finally, they just stopped. When they met again, they were accustomed to smiling from a distance, saying hello and walking over without stopping.

The troupe can’t go back, where will it go next? Tan Shuzhen herself didn't understand that although she could still go to the dance hall to sing every night and get a daily subsidy, this was not a formal job after all.

It is impossible for Tan Shuzhen to remain without a formal job and just float in the air.

When she was in Teacher Shi's office, Tan Shuzhen thought that she might just find a way to move the cultural center to work, but she knew this was impossible.

There are only a few cultural centers in a county, and the librarians are all in harmony. One is in charge of art, one is in charge of music and performance, one is in charge of folk literature, one is in charge of photography, and one is editing "Yongcheng Qunwen Information" 》 and a half-monthly tabloid. There is also a cashier, even the accountant is part-time accountant of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and the rest are the director and deputy director.

Tan Shuzhen can't do any other work, unless she comes and Teacher Shi leaves. How is this possible?

Tan Shuzhen looked outside, the sky was getting dark, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
