Rebirth: Perfect Rural Life - Chapter 254
“Well, Dad, you seem to have a full chest. Have you thought about it for a long time?” Fang ruxiu asked.
“It’s not a long time. I had this idea in my heart after you told me last time.” Fang Changfu said, “just in time, the store will open. Your cousin and they can also come to our store to help.”
After hearing this, he laughed and said, “those boys are idle at home. There is no place to use their energy. Let them do something.”
Mr. Ye said, “you don’t care about them, and there’s no need to open a shop for them. They are so skinny. Going to your shop must make it a mess.”
Both old people knew that Fang Changfu wanted to introduce a job to his nephews. After all, there were so many lands and mountains in the Ye family, but there were more and more people. In recent years, servants planted other people’s land, but servants planted other people’s land can only just eat enough. It’s good to have a job and bring some income to the family.
“Yes, then let them run errands and take care of those shops for us to see if they are flexible.” Ye Shi was not very willing before, but she felt comfortable when she heard that Fang Changfu was trying to find a way for her brother’s son.
“By the way, why didn’t they come to pay New Year’s greetings today?” Fang ruxiu was puzzled. According to reason, they were going to pay New Year’s greetings at their own house at this time.
“I don’t know. Maybe they must have gone back to their daughter-in-law’s mother’s house today. My daughters-in-law are all lucky and my grandmother is alive. Maybe their mother will go to their mother’s house this year, so they can only go to their mother’s house today.”
As soon as he explained, Fang ruxiu understood. Nowadays, people in the countryside get married early. Many grandma and grandma are only 30 years old and very young.
“It’s OK. They’ll come tomorrow.” ye also said aside.
Fang ruxiu nodded and said, “I just said it casually.”
During the Spring Festival, everyone didn’t have anything to do. They all visited their neighbors. Early this morning, Fang Yizheng and Fang Yixue sent Fang Changhui home to eat at her house. It was a year of worship, and then there were few relatives.
Fortunately, Fang Changhui is the aunt of Fang ruxiu’s family, and her aunt has nothing. Otherwise, they will be tired to death just by visiting relatives.
However, Fang ruxiu’s family is only free these days. In a few days, Fang Changfu will go to the people who have business contacts in the county. At that time, they will start to be busy again. Therefore, during this period, everyone will be at home and discuss the development plan of the whole year together.
Fang Changheng’s shop doesn’t plan to expand any more. This year, Fang Changfu will make more money steadily, while Fang Changfu plans to open a grocery store. Fang ruxiu is still busy with his own shop. Fang Yizheng intends to pretend to study hard, but in fact, he wants to go to the Western Regions for business in the second half of the year.
Other people are busy. Ye Shi is in charge of the whole family. Fang Yicheng and other children are reading, and Yinyin is learning medical knowledge with Feng Bi’An. I hope she can become a female doctor as soon as possible, so that Fang ruxiu and others can directly find her when they see a doctor.
Of course, she is still too young. She just celebrated her fifth birthday last year. This year, she is only six years old. Fang Yicheng is seven years old. However, he is very clever. Now he knows a lot of words. Fang ruxiu is very satisfied with his performance last year.
After all, whether in business or reading, the whole family is working hard for the future life.
Leisure and comfortable days always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, the year has passed. On the 15th of the first month, Fang ruxiu’s family invited someone to come and drive a platform outside the old house to put lights and movies. Almost the whole village came to see it. Even the people in the next village came to see it after hearing the news.
Originally, Fang ruxiu wanted to take everyone to the county to see the lights, but Fang Weicheng suddenly wanted to see the lights, so Fang Changfu specially invited someone for him.
This light shadow play, ah, is actually a shadow play. Some people hide behind the curtain and pull these leather dolls with lines, with all kinds of movements behind them.
Oh, don’t underestimate the small shadow of the lamp. There are several people in a play team, including control line, singing, erhu and drums. It’s like that there are villains performing joys and sorrows behind the white curtain.
However, the people in the general control line are also responsible for singing. For some smaller groups that sing lantern movies, he can sing a play for you alone. However, Fang Changfu’s invitation is relatively large. Two people sing, including the control line, another one plays erhu and one plays Ruan. There are four people in total, which is a great drama team.
Some children crowded to the front, and it was interesting to watch the people behind the white paper cloth move around. The people on the stage didn’t know what they were singing. Anyway, some old people looked with interest and even burst into tears when they saw the emotional place.
Fang ruxiu is also looking at it, but she just looks at it for fun. She can’t appreciate others. Maybe she watched more entertainment programs in her previous life. For this kind of lamp shadow play, she can enjoy it with an artistic eye. As for the stories they played, they were old and lost their teeth in her eyes.
After watching it for a while, she went back to bed alone. When she wanted to get up and leave, she found that there were a lot of people behind.
When it was not dark, some people got the news and had filled the open space with stools to occupy their seats. Until now, there were four or five people crowded on this one that could only sit on two or three stools. Some didn’t bring stools and stood in the back with relish. Some children rode on the shoulders of adults.
“Is it so beautiful?” Fang ruxiu knew that these were attractive, but she really didn’t expect that the lantern film should be so attractive. The reason is that there was too little entertainment for ancient people. Even ye sat next to Yu and watched with interest.
“Ruxiu, why do you get up?” Ye noticed Fang ruxiu’s action, so he pulled her down and sat down and asked her not to block other people’s eyes.
Fang ruxiu sat down after knowing it. Forget it. It’s rare to be able to watch a play with Yu and have a good life. Even if you know more about the culture here.
“Blue clouds and yellow flowers, the west wind is tight, and wild geese fly south. Who is drunk in the frost forest at dawn is always crying.”
Now the stage is singing the story of the west chamber. When they heard the sympathy, they blinked. Fang ruxiu looked sideways and found that ye and Yu were waking up with handkerchiefs.
Is it so moving? Fang ruxiu shook her head. She had heard this story before, but she never caught a cold.
Fortunately, the story was coming to an end. Soon the lantern singer took down the lamp, replaced it with a new shadow puppet and sang a new play. This song was “aloes to save the mother”. More and more people were moved. Fang ruxiu looked and felt more and more interesting, so he looked at it seriously. No wonder this lantern movie can attract people. It still has its unique charm, but it needs to calm down and look. It is not suitable for the fast-paced people in his previous life.
It was not until midnight that the play stopped. Some of the people were not satisfied, but they had to disperse. Someone asked Fang Changfu: “brother Changfu, will you play tomorrow?”
“Play.” Fang Changfu replied, “play for three days.”
“I’ll have to come early tomorrow to take a seat,” said the man, and then hurried home.
In this winter, there are no moon and stars in the sky. In the countryside, it’s really dark at night. However, some people bring hemp poles, light them with fire folds, and then go back with their partners in the village, talking and laughing. It’s also quite delicious.
very impressive. Fang ruxiu remembered at this time that the man standing outside had been blowing the cold wind all night. However, Fang ruxiu sat in front of her, and there were a lot of people outside to keep her out of the wind. She didn’t feel cold.
The next day, still in the afternoon, the door of the old house was full of stools, but in the evening, ye would not go any more. I’ve seen it for half a night yesterday. I’ve seen enough.
However, Ye Shi and others still have more to say. Anyway, the people invited by her family are not afraid of losing their place. For three consecutive days, she sits in the front with Yu Shi and her sisters in law every day and watches the play with relish.
Fang ruxiu suddenly remembered the popular movies in the countryside a long time ago. She thought that if there were movies here, the whole town would come to see them. Unfortunately, she didn’t know this technology, otherwise she could open a cinema to make money.
“Mom, what famous things have you seen when you go to see the lantern movie every day?” Fang ruxiu couldn’t help asking, “what’s good about the lantern movie?”
“It’s good-looking. You see how lovely the shadow puppet is and how touching the story is. If you don’t go to see it, you don’t see people in other villages. They all come to see it at night.” ye said, “how well the opera singer sings.”
Fang ruxiu didn’t understand, but she nodded and left to work on her own affairs.
During the festival, she will go to the county town, mainly to see her shop, and then urge Zhong Li and others to practice martial arts well.
Fang Yizheng decided not to go into the official career, so he also went to hang out with Zhong Li and others, and went to the county city with Fang ruxiu. This time, Fang ruxiu won’t stay in the county city for long. She only took Fang Yiqin with her, and no one else took it with him.
This time, Fang Yizheng and others brought back a lot of gemstones from the western regions. Fang Ru embroidered half of them to Peng Hanmo and gave him the design drawing to make treasures according to the design drawing. Then he went to his shop and asked about the business of the shop at the end of the new year.
This year’s business is good, but it still can’t be as good as Fang ruxiu imagined. However, this time he bought a batch of good gemstones. It’s really a waste to put them in this shop. In the county city, as long as there is a treasure to finish the axis.
Fang ruxiu discussed with Peng Hanmo, Li Decai and others and decided that when he made the treasures, he would go directly to Fucheng to hold an auction, so that these treasures could be maximized.
