084: Visiting Sai Jinhua at night
After Sister Jin was released from labor camp, the two finally got married. More than 20 years had passed since then.
Xiao Pu finally became Lao Pu, and the once stunning Sai Jinhua also became middle-aged and her beauty faded.
The relationship between the two had been well hidden, and the other people in the company thought they had fallen in love here. Later, when they heard Lao Pu tell the truth after drinking, they realized that they had a deep connection.
Xu Ying also gradually learned about Sai Jinhua and Lao Pu's past from other people's gossip.
But there was no time to say so much at the moment, so Xu Ying only told Yu Xiaoye that Sai Jinhua had been born in a brothel and had been in labor reform.
Obviously, Jia Song was a little worried about letting such a person with a questionable identity officially participate in the Labor Day performance.
People of this generation are too deeply influenced by class concepts to be eradicated.
But Yu Xiaoye is a young person who grew up in the 21st century and received an education that advocates equality for all, so she is not affected at all.
Finally, with Yu Xiaoye's efforts, Jia Song agreed to let Sai Jinhua form a yangko team to perform yangko.
Well, one more show.
Then, Yu Xiaoye remembered that he could play clappers in his previous life, and decided to compose another clapper about Labor Day.
Jia Song agreed readily.
This adds two more programs.
The last one is that Yu Xiaoye can’t go on stage alone, otherwise it will become her own exclusive show. She must find someone else.
Upon some inquiries, I heard that there were actually quite a few people in the company with talents, but some of their talents seemed a bit out of place. For example, there was actually a master of Peking Opera in their company. It was said that the man came from a Peking Opera family. His father and grandfather were both famous Peking Opera actors, and he himself was also a cadre in a provincial cultural unit.
Later, he was implicated by his father and grandfather and was sent to a company in the Great Northern Wilderness Farm to receive re-education from the working masses.
This is a treasure-level figure.
Even though these people are now unwelcome in the company, once this period of time has passed and they return to their old jobs or are reinstated, the gap between them will immediately become apparent, and then everyone will no longer be the same kind of people.
Some people have become artists, while others are probably still farmers.
Therefore, when Yu Xiaoye learned that there was such a master in the company, he decided to contact him and see if he could invite this master to come out.
Jia Song looked at the several programs proposed by Yu Xiaoye and found them not revolutionary at all. Although he was a little dissatisfied, since the matter was handed over to her, she was the only one who could handle it, so he agreed to all of them.
Yu Xiaoye also assured Jia Song that if the performance was successful, the honor would belong to everyone.
If the performance fails, then the responsibility is hers and she has to bear it herself!
After reaching a temporary agreement, the three members of the Yu family left the office.
But they did not go back immediately. Yu Xiaoye decided to take action tonight. The family of three split into two groups. Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye went to look for Sai Jinhua, while Yu Jiahui went to the men's dormitory to visit the demoted Peking Opera master to see if he could invite him to perform.
In short, this mission is related to whether they will have new clothes to wear in the future, so they must go all out.
Moreover, it would be a good thing to take this opportunity to make friends with people in the company.
As for whether they would offend the "young lady", the three of them felt that there was no need to care about her at all!
Sometimes, people are praised for their kindness. The more you take her seriously, the more superior she feels. She doesn't think that people are polite to her not because she deserves it, but out of politeness and cultivation.
Therefore, the three members of the Yu family felt that there was no need to be bound by their duties for such a self-righteous young lady.
The three of them separated at the intersection, and under the starlight, Yu Xiaoye and his mother went to Sai Jinhua's house.
Arriving at the gate of Sai Jinhua's house, Yu Xiaoye suddenly remembered:
"Mom, when we first arrived here, I think they arranged for us to live with this family?"
Xu Ying looked around and recognized him:
"It seems so. What a coincidence! If we didn't have Ocean Space, we would probably be neighbors with Sai Jinhua."
The mother and daughter walked outside the fence and saw that the light was on on the glass window of the main room. A figure was reflected on the window, which was Sai Jinhua's shadow.
Xu Ying held onto the fence and shouted inside:
"Sai Jinhua? Is Sai Jinhua at home?"
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Xu Ying. Come out for a moment. I have something to tell you—"
While Xu Ying was talking, Yu Xiaoye quietly observed his mother's tone and expression, and was surprised to find that his mother had now completely integrated into the life of the company and was no longer as cramped and uneasy as when she first arrived.
Even my accent has changed unconsciously.
The door to the main room opened, and Sai Jinhua came out wearing a cotton-padded jacket. She looked around and saw two dark figures standing outside the eastern fence. She asked:
"Xu Ying—is that Xu Ying, the newcomer to our company?"
"Yes, it's me."
Sai Jinhua was very surprised and quickly ran over to open the door for them:
"Hey, what brings you two here?"
Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye walked towards the courtyard gate, and Xu Ying came to greet them again:
"I came to talk to you when I had nothing to do."
"fast forward!"
The mother and daughter entered the courtyard. Sai Jinhua warmly invited them into the house. When they came to the inner room, they saw a man sitting in the room. The man was not good-looking, of medium build, and looked honest, but he was fair-skinned and his face was neatly groomed, not as rough as the local men.
This is Sai Jinhua’s man—Lao Pu.
The man who served Sai Jinhua as a servant in the brothel.
Today, Lao Pu is a cart driver, responsible for sending people and food to the fields every day. Xu Ying has ridden in Lao Pu's cart several times, so she has seen Lao Pu before. Xu Ying greeted Lao Pu in a familiar manner:
"What is Lao Pu doing?"
Lao Pu sat cross-legged on the kang with a round winnowing basket in front of him.
The noodles were made of tobacco leaves that had been dried last year. He rubbed the dried tobacco leaves together and said in a muffled voice:
"Get some tobacco."
"Oh, are you getting tobacco leaves?" Xu Ying asked for the sake of conversation.
Sai Jinhua Road:
"Hurry up, take off your shoes and get on the kang. It's cold outside. It's warm on the kang. Come on!"
Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye didn't hesitate to take off their shoes and get on the kang.
When they took off their shoes, Sai Jinhua discovered that both mother and daughter were wearing high-quality cotton socks. She was surprised and said,
"Wow, you two are wearing such nice socks!"
Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye realized that they were exposed. Logically speaking, their family was so poor that they could not afford to wear socks that cost 60 cents a pair.
I haven't visited anyone else's house these days, nor have I taken off my shoes before getting on the kang, so I didn't realize this problem.
Now that Sai Jinhua pointed it out, I realized that I had indeed been negligent.
Yu Xiaoye explained with a smile:
"It's actually a defective product. I bought it from an acquaintance back home. It's not expensive, so I only wear it when I go out."
"oh oh."
