Wang Ying was so happy that she couldn't help laughing, and the women and old ladies around her were also laughing heartily. Old Lady Xu brought a small stool and sat in the front row, laughing so hard that her gaps in her teeth were exposed.
"Why are you talking about Gousheng? I just think Gousheng is a good actor! Gousheng, grandma will make some hot pot later, come and eat it!"
"Xiao Douzi also acted well. Even though the way he walked was not stable, it still looked very realistic."
"Zaohua, your daughter is really good at learning. Your son Mancang is really like that usually. Hahaha..."
…
Some of the kids were still a little timid, but when they saw that everyone was laughing but no one was pointing at them, they gradually relaxed.
Tian Gousheng understood his mother's demeanor very accurately, and he put his hands on his hips like a big teapot: "Look at you! You drink cold water without washing your feet, and you touch the mud and then touch your mouth. You're just like your father!"
The little girl next to her pooped out her belly, found a clean spot and lay down: "Who said I touched the mud and then my mouth? I didn't, it was the old dog in our team who did that. He touched his feet and then his mouth, and sooner or later he would get athlete's foot... No, it was mouth fungus!"
Xiao Douzi was still conscientiously pretending to have a stomachache. Tian Gousheng was anxious and kept turning around: "Dad, what do you think we should do? Should we go find a doctor?"
The little girl lay down and began to rub her feet: "Why see a doctor? Drink some pot ash. Here, I'll go scrape it."
After saying that, he shook his hands after rubbing his feet and pretended to scrape the bottom of the pot.
The people below were laughing like crazy.
The little girl was scraping the bottom of the pot, and while scraping she accidentally scraped the "bottom of the pot" open.
Tian Gousheng was scolding the man in a pinched voice again, imitating his mother's usual behavior completely.
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
"Gousheng is such a good kid, he really looks like that!"
"Zaohua's kid is great. He scraped the ash from the bottom of the pot and made the pot leak. Haha!"
"Zaohua, did your husband really scrape the bottom of the pot at home? How come this kid acted so realistically!"
…
Several parents couldn't laugh enough, only Zaohua's smile was forced.
It’s nothing else, it’s just that her daughter learned it so well!
As for the foot rubbing skill, she learned it exactly like her husband Mancang!
Woohoo, how embarrassing!
This time she had to punish Tian Mancang! Tell him not to rub his feet anymore! If the kids see him rubbing his feet again, she would chop off his feet! This was too embarrassing to be brought back to grandma's house!
The children on the stage were all relatively young, and perhaps Wu Guihua asked them to act like their family members. The lines delivered by the children were very similar to those of their parents, and they were very free.
Wang Ying watched the whole scene from the side with her eyes bent.
The little girl rubbed some ash from the bottom of the pot, and with a burp on her head, she fed the little Douzi the water made from the ash. The little Douzi was already thirsty, so he gulped it down.
He just stood there in a daze, blinking his big eyes.
Tian Gousheng was anxious and quietly reminded: "You are dizzy! How can you continue the performance if you are not dizzy? Get dizzy quickly."
Xiaodouzi didn't understand why. His attention had been diverted long ago and he had forgotten what he was supposed to act.
Gousheng was so anxious that he wanted to go up and make the poor kid faint.
The little girl was also waiting for Xiaodouzi to faint so that she could pretend to cry, but Xiaodouzi didn't faint.
He even showed his teeth and laughed heartlessly: "Sister, I still want to drink some water!"
Gousheng was so anxious that he got angry, and the people below were already laughing so hard that they were crooked.
When Xiaodouzi's mother saw that Xiaodouzi didn't get any water, he stretched out his short legs and rushed towards her. Xiaodouzi's mother quickly dodged and said, "Go back and act!"
If he runs away, won't the show be unable to go on
Xiaodouzi's mother was afraid that Xiaodouzi would pounce on her and disrupt the show for the villagers, so she quickly hid.
Whenever Xiaodouzi felt wronged, he would whimper and tears would come out.
In a flash, Tian Gousheng rolled his eyes and said, "Oh my God, I've been poisoned to death!"
After saying that, he fell to the ground and didn't move.
People below: “Hahahahahahaha!”
The little girl was confused. This part... This part didn't say to perform it this way!
Wu Guihua was laughing so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She followed Wang Ying's advice and called a group of child actors. As a result, they came up with some unique laughs.
The little girl didn't know what to do. Xiaodouzi over there saw Gousheng faint and seemed to remember what he was going to act out.
He also fainted next to Gousheng.
When he fainted, he was afraid that the ground was dirty, so he directly pressed on Gousheng, causing the "fainted" Gousheng to let out a short cry.
Little girl:
It's already like this, what else can I do? Just keep on acting.
She pretended to lie down on the two "corpses" on the ground: "Oh my God! My child... my wife! How could you just disappear like this!"
What followed was a funeral procession, where the men cried and threw dirt and clods of earth on the two men, pretending to bury them.
Halfway through the burial, it was Tian Gousheng's turn, but the little brat didn't get up and just lay on the ground.
"It's all my man's fault. He rubbed his feet and then the pot, and poisoned my child to death. Folks, remember, the ash at the bottom of the pot is poisonous. Even gods and immortals can't save lives. You need real doctors to cure diseases!"
After saying that, Tian Gousheng's head tilted and his tongue hung out, giving everyone a performance of "dying with eyes open".
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
The happy atmosphere suddenly reached its peak, and Wu Guihua led everyone in applause.
The three little actors climbed up with red faces. Now they felt shy and hid in their mothers' arms amid everyone's praises.
Wu Guihua wiped away the tears from her laughter and stood up to read again the speeches that Wang Ying had prepared.
In general, I advise everyone to treat illnesses as soon as possible, and not to scrape the bottom of the pot. The ash from the bottom of the pot is next to the stove fire and charcoal, so it can't be cleaned. Relying on the ash from the bottom of the pot to save lives is just a folk remedy. If a person has diarrhea or feels uncomfortable, it may not be that disease, and you still need to see a doctor. Also, don't believe in those wild foxes who really think that the ash from the bottom of the pot can drive away evil spirits. It can't even cure diseases, let alone drive away evil spirits.
With the previous foundation, everyone's attention was more focused, and everyone listened attentively after Wu Guihua finished speaking.
They applauded Wu Guihua and asked some questions anxiously.
"Guihua, when are we going to talk about this next time? Why don't you pick a night and ask my man to see it too."
"That's right, Guihua, your performance was great. Tell me in advance next time so I can come early and get a good seat!"
"If you ask me, we can arrange it like this in the winter. Isn't it more interesting than just giving a lecture?"
"It's like watching a movie. I think it's more interesting than the movie."
…
Wu Guihua was surrounded by a group of chattering women, all of whom had only one central idea.
I still want to watch it.
Wu Guihua smiled cheerfully: "It's almost done. We still have to rehearse. This idea was given to me by Doctor Wang Ying. If you all think it's good, we can make a series of them later."
When they heard that it was Wang Ying who said that, these people believed even more what Wu Guihua said.
"I say, Guihua, why are you so reasonable? It's Ying girl who said it, so it's fine. We will definitely not drink pot ash anymore from now on!"
"We just want to drink, but I guess my dog won't let us. I said we don't need to urge this stinky kid to wash his feet when he comes back in the next few days."
"That's good, Osmanthus, you can't be partial. Our stones are not bad either."
"That's right, and there's also my Pan Ya!"
"My little Zhuang..."
…
Later on, it actually became a competition field among parents.
Tian Zaohua originally thought that it was not appropriate for her daughter to play a man, and it would easily expose her family's past. Just as she was about to wait for everyone to leave, she went to talk to Wu Guihua, saying that it was okay for her daughter to play the role, but could she at least give her a decent role
But now everyone seems to be scrambling for it.
Tian Zaohua wiped her face and squeezed in: "Guihua, my girl performed well, right? You have to save one for us next time!"
What request? I won’t mention it.
It would be great if I could just have a role to play!
As for men being embarrassed
Throw it away! Who told him to rub his feet
Rub the skin on his feet, rub the skin on his feet, why doesn't he rub it in his own bowl! ? He deserves the shame!
The excitement quickly spread throughout the brigade. Tian Gousheng now walked with his chest held high, looking very heroic and confident!
Tian Youfu only found out about this incident later and was very happy when he heard about it.
When the women's director was in office, it was extremely difficult to get everyone to attend the meeting. Even if they came, they would not listen, and would just gather together to gossip, or sew shoes or clothes. Now, it's better to ask the children to perform. How can these women not listen to the cadres and watch their children perform
I'm afraid everyone will be scrambling to get there!
Tian Youfu: "Director Wu, this is a good idea! You should also keep it in mind. When our team collects dates, the child who performs best will get an extra half pound of dates!"
I wouldn't give them candy or grain, but I could give them half a pound of dates, since they were all the team's own stuff. Every year, there were quite a few that fell down and we didn't have time to pick them up, so we gave them to the kids to make them happy.
Wu Guihua was extremely happy when she encountered an unexpected surprise.
Tian Youfu was generous in giving out the award and did not specify how many people he would give it to. I guess he thought that as long as the kids who participated performed well, he would give it to everyone.
Half a pound of dates is earned by the children themselves, so it will be a great time.
Wu Guihua got this good job and quickly came to Wang Ying to discuss countermeasures.
When she arrived, Wang Ying had just finished dinner with Old Lady Xu.
The pork ribs, potatoes, corns and beans were stewed, and a few mixed noodles were added on top. The noodles were eaten with the gravy, which was very fragrant. The pork ribs were also stewed until they were soft, and the potato noodles could not be picked up. Wang Ying used a spoon to scoop up the crushed potatoes, just like eating potato broth. The beans were also fragrant. Old Lady Xu didn't waste the oil now, and fried the beans in advance. The beans with shrunken skin were also delicious and tender.
Wang Ying was full and felt sleepy.
Old Mrs. Xu held the sewing ticket and looked at it with great interest: "This ticket looks good! Look at the printing, it's a completely different color from the normal food coupons!"
Wang Ying: "Xu Shuang means that we can go buy the sewing machine when it's convenient for you."
Old Mrs. Xu was so excited that she couldn't sit still: "It's convenient for me to do anything, it depends on your time! But this thing is big, it's not easy for us to move it home, right?"
Wang Ying tilted her head and said, "If it doesn't work, why don't we borrow the donkey cart from the brigade? There is always a way."
Can a living person be killed by holding his urine? If the donkey cart is not lucky, then find another way. After all, it is a big item, so just spend more on shipping.
Old Mrs. Xu was so excited that she turned around twice but still couldn't hold back.
"I'm going to go out for a walk!"
She had to go out and show off to her good old sisters first.
I used to live in seclusion because I had good food and a job. This kind of thing easily attracts attention.
But it was different with a sewing machine! Not only was there a few of these in the brigade, but even in the commune.
When she told this to others, not only did no one get jealous, but many people rushed to flatter her. Even if they didn't want to borrow it in the future, they still wanted to touch it and have a try.
Old Mrs. Xu was very proud and felt that her family's luck had really changed after they married their son-in-law.
In the past, even if the family was wealthy, life was not so easy.
Sewing machine, sewing machine, you have to tell others about it so that others will be envious!
Old Mrs. Xu has been steady all her life, but she can't keep her composure in front of a sewing machine. Who can keep their composure? A sewing machine is a family heirloom. If there is still an unmarried boy in the family, he can pick anyone in the countryside just by looking at the sewing machine.
Old Mrs. Xu went to chat with someone, and Wu Guihua walked into Wang Ying's house right after her.
She was so happy that she didn't know what to do. Today's meeting was a great success. Not only did a lot of people participate, but it was also very lively and supportive.
All of these were inspired by Wang Ying.
Wu Guihua came over with tomatoes in her arms. Her tomatoes were always good, sandy, sour and sweet. She brought a net bag for Wang Ying.
"Wang Ying, I don't know how to thank you. You see, it's all thanks to you that our meeting went so well. I just wonder if you can think of something else later?"
Wang Ying gave a general idea of the story this time, and told them to act out an example of a child getting into trouble after drinking soda ash from the bottom of the pot. Although Wu Guihua could make the decision on what to act out next time, she was still afraid that they would mess up the performance and ruin this good beginning.
Wang Ying: "This is not a simple matter. The following are gynecological diseases, pediatric diseases, falls of the elderly, childbirth, and pregnancy precautions..."
Wang Ying counted out a lot of them immediately by counting on her fingers.
Wu Guihua was both happy and worried: "This time it's like a stroke of luck. We can't let the kids do whatever they want next time, right? Should we make a script?"
Wang Ying was amused: "Isn't this a ready-made person? You can find an educated youth!"
You can't rely on the members to do the writing work. Wang Ying has her own things to do. After all, aren't educated youth with a certain level of education just right
Wang Ying gave Wu Guihua some advice: "Apply to the team leader. The educated youth are all weak and frail. They will be given a few work points for each performance. Ask them to compete for submissions. Whoever's manuscript is used will be awarded work points."
Wu Guihua thought about it and agreed. Besides, if the members were given a few work points for writing scripts for children, they would probably be happy with it.
After all, it is our own child who is going to perform, so we should give him some work points.
Wu Guihua left with full of energy.
Wang Ying picked up a tomato, washed it, and took a bite. It was sandy and the sweet and sour taste went straight to her taste buds. It was completely different from the tomatoes grown in greenhouses that had no tomato flavor at all. This was the real tomato flavor!
Wang Ying ate one and couldn’t help but took another one to cut and sprinkled some sugar on it.
The tomatoes dipped in sugar are sweet and sour and delicious. The remaining sugar water is not wasted and is drunk in one gulp.
Wang Ying happily ate the tomatoes and went to take a nap.
In the blink of an eye, summer arrived quietly.
Wang Ying and Xu Shuang went into the mountain again, this time purely to prepare things, so when they came down the mountain, the two of them brought a basket of wild rabbits and pheasants, and a basket of fish.
The small fish pond had not been discovered yet, but when Wang Ying was fishing, she saw that there were already a group of palm-sized fish in it. It seemed that they had grown up this spring.
She and Xu Shuang chose the big ones and caught five or six.
After taking it home, Xu Shuang did not dry the fish, but processed it into smoked fish. This way the fish is oily and can last for a long time.
Xu Shuang was busy for several days and made two large baskets of smoked fish. Because Wang Ying wanted to eat spicy rabbit heads, he simply kept the rabbit heads of each rabbit and made the rest into dried meat.
When everything was almost ready, Xu Shuang carried a large basket full of things and went to the brigade where his aunt lived.
When he went there, he deliberately avoided people and went there when it was almost evening. After he got there, he dropped his things off and came back.
Xu Shuang arrived home sweating. Seeing that Old Lady Xu was still waiting, she reported to her, "I have told my aunt. She told you not to worry. She asked her cousins to go to the countryside to collect some food. She didn't tell anyone and saved enough food to last for three months."
Old Lady Xu sighed, "I'm not worried about her safety. After all, your cousins are all at home, and no one dares to rob her. It's just... it's not a pleasant feeling to be hungry."
Even though Old Mrs. Xu married a cook, she also went hungry during the difficult years before.
People say that even three years of drought will not starve a cook to death.
But the grain could not be harvested and the cook could not turn it into food, so how could he not have been hungry
Xu Shuang's face didn't look very good either: "The situation at my aunt's place is more serious. I see that the wheat in their fields is sparse."
In fact, we all had our own big pot, and no one paid much attention to the public land, and then there was hail in the early spring.
Xu Shuang even heard from people who were eating there that in the Lazy Man Commune downstream, people there thought that it was public land, so it didn't matter whether they replanted it or not, after all, it wasn't their land, it wasn't their grain, and they thought that they would get grain sooner or later. So they just lay there and didn't replant.
Now everyone is lying at home, waiting for relief food to be distributed.
Old Mrs. Xu felt sad for the farmers who had been let down by God. She did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for the good things that the Lazy Man's Commune had done.
"These people are useless. They even dare to mess with the crops. No matter whether it is a good year or a bad year, if they mess with the crops, the harvest will be ruined. I think if they continue like this, people will starve to death sooner or later."
Life has obviously gotten much better in the past few years. In those years, there were natural disasters and we had to tighten our belts to pay back Big Brother. We all had a hard time. But now it’s obviously much better. As long as you’re willing to work hard, we rarely hear of people starving to death in the past two years.
But they can do it over there.
Old Mrs. Xu collected her thoughts and muttered about her own affairs: "Then let's not wait any longer. Let's go and get the sewing machine back in the next few days. Otherwise, the county may be in turmoil."
When people are hungry, they can do anything. It's better to stay at home.
Xu Shuang calculated the time and said, "That's about right. I'm going to take the exam at the beginning of next month, so let's go buy a sewing machine on the way. Let's do it together. I'll also send some things to Master, and we won't go into the city for the next two months."
Xu Shuang's exam was also moved up, and the one who decided to move it up was none other than Chen Dong.
Chen Dong first thought that the food price was going to fluctuate, and then he didn't want to be at the center of the storm. Anyway, there were only five people taking the exam, so it might as well be done early.
Wang Ying listened for a while, then asked, "Master, are you the examiner? Shouldn't you step aside? What if others accuse you of leaking the questions?"
Xu Shuang: "There are only a few questions in the exam, so it doesn't matter whether you understand them or not."
Being a chef is about skills, especially for the second-level chef certificate, which tests basic skills.
Wang Ying: "What are they testing?"
Xu Shuang: "Cutting, cooking, cuisine, and ingredients are the only things that will be tested at level two."
Xu Shuang explained in detail, "For example, cutting and matching tests color matching, shape matching, and utensils matching. Generally, a cold dish topic is given, and you cut and match the ingredients yourself, and choose the color. The shape depends on the knife skills. Cooking is stir-frying, sautéing, stir-frying, steaming, roasting, boiling, and baking. The more difficult ones are stir-fried liver tips or hanging chicken slices. The cuisine is a dish of the same cuisine that you prepared, preferably one that is well-known locally. The raw materials are the processing of chickens, ducks, and geese, including various pre-treatments, thickening and marinating, which is also a dish."
Wang Ying was very surprised to hear that this was the way to take the chef certification exam for the first time. "So you have to prepare a few questions yourself and take a few on-site exams, right? It turns out that the second level is so difficult."
Listening to what Xu Shuang said, it's not easy at all.
Wang Ying originally thought that it would be easy to pass the second-level chef certificate exam, but now it seems that it is extremely difficult.
Xu Shuang: "It's not bad. When you reach level one after level two, you will be required to have more creative dishes of your own."
Wang Ying's eyes rolled: "Then you have to try these things at home these few days, right?"
Xu Shuang smiled: "Of course."
Wang Ying raised her chopsticks and said, "As a wild judge, I must try it!"
Several people in the room laughed.
Old Lady Xu also chimed in: "You can ask Wang Ying to give you an evaluation. She has a very clever tongue."
After spending a long time together, Old Lady Xu also knew that Wang Ying had a picky taste, but fortunately, this girl would not waste food even if she was picky. She would not say that she would not eat it if it was not delicious, but would calmly talk to Xu Shuang. Shuang was also good, and he would take notes every time.
A few people were laughing when the postman's voice came from outside.
"Xu Shuang! Is Xu Shuang at home? There's a letter for you!"
