Shen Yu and his friends bought sleeper tickets in advance and sat all the way to Beicheng. There was no train station in Lanbei County, so they had to take a bus from Beicheng to Lanbei County.
Mr. Shen greeted Mr. Zhou, and when they arrived in Beicheng, they boarded a bus that was carried by a Pingju troupe from Beicheng that was going to the countryside to give a performance to express their congratulations.
As soon as Shen Mingxi got into the car, he had an idea.
She really wanted to invite the Pingju troupe to Kaoshantun.
Because my grandparents love to listen to Pingju Opera very much, if they go to Kaoshantun to give a congratulatory performance, they can bring them over.
What does it mean to have your wish come true? This is what it means to have your wish come true!
After a roundabout conversation, the deputy head of the troupe in charge of the itinerary learned about the relationship between Mr. Zhou and Shen Yu's family. He immediately decided that the third stop of the rural consolation performance would be set in Kaoshantun.
Besides, the transportation there is quite convenient, and Kaoshantun is the largest village among the communes in Lanbei County, so it naturally has the largest population.
Moreover, the old captain is an old soldier from that time, and there are several old heroes like him in the village.
This can fully constitute the conditions for a consolation performance.
Shen Yu didn't expect that this time when he returned to Lanbei County from Beicheng, not only would there be a convenient car ride, but there would also be such a good thing.
I was very happy at that moment.
When something like this happened, no matter which commune or brigade it happened to, the people there would be extremely happy, and might even be said to welcome it with drums and gongs.
So there is no question of saying hello in advance.
After arriving in Lanbei County, the Beicheng Pingju Opera Troupe's car drove to the county cultural center, where naturally someone received them.
Zhu Youcai already knew the outcome of the matter, but he didn't know when they would arrive in Lanbei County. However, he kept the house warm every day these days.
The goods brought to the county town were basically sold out, and I earned more than 1,000 yuan.
Even Zhu Youcai felt that the import of this stuff was a little too small. If he imported a few more trucks, they would be sold out. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Whether in the countryside or in the county town, the Chinese New Year is very important, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year is very strong in this era.
When Shen Yu and his friends arrive in the county, they will definitely come to the house to say hello to Zhu Youcai.
It was just past noon and Zhu Youcai was keeping account in the room, recording each item very clearly, ready to hand it over to Shen Yu when he returned.
Then he saw Shen Yu and the others enter the house. Although they were cold, Zhu Youcai felt warm in his heart.
Without any delay, Zhu Youcai actually drove a carriage out of the neighbor's yard.
In the early 1980s, the only means of transportation in Lanbei County were bicycles and horse-drawn carriages. Of course, the most common horse-drawn carriages were owned by large and small teams, but there were also many people in the county who used horse-drawn carriages to transport goods and people, which could be considered another means of transportation.
It started to appear in the autumn of last year.
Come to think of it, there are only ten buses in the entire county.
It cannot meet the travel needs of ordinary people before the Spring Festival at all.
The neighbor's carriage is rented, and it costs six yuan for a day.
From nine in the morning to nine at night.
Without further ado, the group got on the carriage and headed back to Kaoshantun in a mighty procession.
Shen Mingxi lay on the warm kang in his bedroom, thinking drowsily that his own home was still the best.
Zhu Youcai knew that the old man would come here again in two days, so he planned to wait here and then go back to Yuncheng with the old man after the New Year.
But he had to drive his carriage back.
Because the People's Armed Forces Department called the brigade headquarters and asked Shen Qingshan to go to the People's Armed Forces Department for a physical examination, the time was set for tomorrow.
When Shen Qingshan was selling goods at Xiji Market, he met Minister Xu of the People's Armed Forces Department again. After chatting for half an hour, Shen Qingshan had almost decided which path he would take in the future.
He's going to special teams.
That is the team that Feng Anze is in charge of now.
The team he often led had only a dozen people, but in fact there were small teams all over the country. Each team was equipped with twelve people and a team leader.
Shen Qingshan also heard from Minister Xu that there is a special academy in the special forces, and the knowledge learned there happens to be what Shen Qingshan is interested in.
But he did not agree to him immediately, but said that he would make a decision after Shen Yu came back.
Since his son had made his choice, Shen Yu naturally supported him.
So Shen Qingshan followed Zhu Youcai to the county town, and Zhu Youcai would accompany him for a physical examination tomorrow morning.
If he passed, Shen Qingshan might have taken a completely different path after the Spring Festival.
Some things can only be decided after he passes the physical examination.
The days after returning home were particularly busy, distributing gifts and visiting relatives and friends, especially to my grandparents in Chenjia Village. Shen Yu also sent them two large bags of gifts.
Now, Old Man Chen from Chenjia Village stands tall. His son-in-law is no ordinary person. After all the hardships, he has become the son of a big family. The old man does not have the feeling that he cannot reach the family of a wealthy family.
First, he knew that Shen Yu was not the kind of ungrateful person, and second, the last time Shen Junsheng and his friends came to Chenjia Village, they gave him enough face.
And because of the old ginseng roots, the vegetables produced in those baskets of space, and the wild boar meat that was sent, Shen Mingxi's grandparents are in very good health now. Not only do they have rosy complexions, but their voices are also loud.
Although they did not do business, they had no worries about food and drink.
Shen Yu also agreed that he would bring his brother-in-law with him the next time he went out to do business.
This time, Shen Yu and his friends brought them a lot of things when they returned from the capital. The villagers used to look down on Old Chen, but now everyone envies him. Although some people gossip about him, Old Chen doesn't take it seriously at all.
I just feel that the days are getting more and more hopeful.
And these three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Qingshan had finished his physical examination and was waiting for the results, while the Beicheng Pingju Troupe finally arrived in Kaoshantun.
Everyone knew this long before.
Everyone was looking forward to it every day, and finally they came.
If it were summer, we would hold the meeting in the square of the brigade headquarters or in the threshing ground, but this was winter, so we held the meeting in the brigade headquarters. Fortunately, the auditorium in the brigade headquarters was very spacious.
Build a stage on the north gable, and as for benches, the villagers can bring their own.
And just last night, Shen Yu had already brought the entire Chen family over.
In this era, a big play or an open-air movie is a major festival.
It is even equated with the Chinese New Year.
The director of the Pingju Opera Troupe is a woman, who is also the mainstay of the troupe. She is 35 years old this year and has been married for ten years. However, because she performed on stage while pregnant, she had an accident while doing martial arts moves, which resulted in miscarriage and injured her body, and she can no longer get pregnant. So she devoted all her energy to the drama career she loves.
