"Ouch! Three flower baskets! The salary I give you is not enough to buy three flower baskets!"
As soon as Du Chen handed over the flower basket, Lao Guo started teasing Du Chen.
"Don't even mention three! The money for one isn't enough! Teacher Guo, remember to add more money!"
Du Chen also answered with a smile.
"Backstage! Remember to give this classmate extra money today!"
Aunt Yu smiled and joined in the conversation.
………………………………
After the performance ended in the evening, it was already past eleven o'clock. Led by the waiter, everyone went backstage.
"uncle!"
As soon as Wang Yue entered the backstage, he saw Lao Guo sitting there drinking tea and taking a break.
"The brat is coming!"
Old Guo said with a smile, looking at Du Chen and his group.
"Hey, this is quite a big scene! They really came to demand their wages!"
Aunt Yu is still you Aunt Yu, you make everyone laugh as soon as you open your mouth.
"Stinky boy, why don't you introduce your friends?"
"Uncle, these are all good buddies from the same dormitory. This one! The one who just started the commotion is him, Du Chen from Yuncheng! This one..."
Wang Yue introduced several people to the fat black woman Aunt Yu one by one.
“Not bad, not bad!”
Old Guo always has a smile on his face. It is obvious that the man in front of him has a big heart, and the current difficulties are nothing to him.
"Who among you wants to learn crosstalk? Du Chen, is that you?"
Lao Guo asked Du Chen curiously.
"Boy, do you want to learn crosstalk?"
Aunt Yu also asked Du Chen curiously. It was obvious that Du Chen's performance just now aroused Aunt Yu's curiosity.
"Mr. Guo, Mr. Yu, it's not me. Although I also like crosstalk, I'm really not suited to this line of work. I can't bear the hardship."
Just based on their attitudes, Du Chen had to explain to them respectfully. Although he liked crosstalk, he liked the happiness that listening to crosstalk brought him more. Moreover, his life was good now, so Du Chen didn't want to suffer this hardship anymore.
"Oh? So who's going to study?"
Teacher Guo looked at the others curiously. Wang Yue had only mentioned it to him briefly, and he would have to meet the person in person to confirm the specific situation.
"Teacher Guo, this is my friend, Zhao Pengfei!"
Du Chen pulled Zhao Pengfei over and asked him to face Lao Guo and Aunt Yu.
"Yes, he's handsome!"
Old Guo praised Zhao Pengfei.
"Teacher Guo, Teacher Yu, hello!"
Zhao Pengfei greeted the two of them in a somewhat dry voice.
"Kid, why do you want to learn crosstalk?"
Old Guo noticed that Zhao Pengfei was a little nervous, so he asked kindly.
“I just like crosstalk.”
Zhao Pengfei answered dryly.
"Okay, you look like an honest kid, but do you know my conditions?"
Lao Guo is not a god, and he doesn't know whether the other party is suitable for this line of work. As for Zhang Pengfei being nervous and unable to relax, this is human nature. Take it slow. I can only say that I will take him with me and give it a try first.
"Du Chen told me to come over every day to serve tea and water and clean the place!"
"Yes, that's right. Apprentices all come here this way. How about it? Are you willing?"
"Teacher Guo, I have no problem with the work, but I'm worried that I may not be able to come every day."
Zhao Pengfei explained everything to Lao Guo honestly.
"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"
Lao Guo frowned, not knowing whether the other party really had something to do or was just lazy.
"Teacher Guo, I'm still a student, a junior college student. Sometimes at night I worry about things happening at school, like class meetings..."
As Zhao Pengfei spoke, he looked at Lao Guo's face, wanting to see his reaction.
"Well, that's no problem. Going to school is good! Learn a lot of knowledge! If you have classes or class meetings in the evening, you don't have to come! But if you don't have to, you have to come every day. Not only will you be asked to serve tea and clean, you can also watch other teachers perform, and I will also find time to teach you! How is it? Are there any difficulties?"
When Lao Guo heard that the other party was a student, he felt a little happy. After all, students can be trusted, and after all, they are considered cultured people.
"Teacher Guo, no problem! Then I'll come over tomorrow?"
Zhao Pengfei saw that Lao Guo agreed and asked the other party happily. After seeing the performances of the masters on the stage today, Zhao Pengfei became more and more interested in crosstalk. He also hoped that one day he would be able to go on stage and perform such a piece for everyone.
"Well, you can come over tomorrow, but you don't have to call me teacher, just call me master!"
Old Guo said to Zhao Pengfei with a smile again.
When Zhao Pengfei heard Lao Guo ask him to change his address, he fell to his knees without anyone noticing. Without waiting for the next move, Lao Guo quickly grabbed Zhao Pengfei's arm and helped him stand up.
"Hey, what are you doing, kid?"
"Don't you have to kowtow and serve tea when you become a disciple?"
Zhao Pengfei asked Lao Guo in confusion, while Du Chen on the side silently gave Zhao Pengfei a thumbs up. I didn't expect this kid had such a trick.
"Silly child, wait until you are truly a disciple before you kowtow and offer tea!"
Old Guo gave a wry smile and then briefly explained the apprenticeship process to Zhao Pengfei. Aunt Yu was watching Old Guo with a smile on her face, clearly gloating over his misfortune. She knew Old Guo well, and with this kneeling, the apprenticeship was essentially sealed. After all, Old Guo hadn't experienced the things that would happen in the future and was still the idealistic Old Guo.
