In fact, there were many happy things in the countryside that could not be listed. However, for the sake of those beautiful memories, I wrote them as eternal memories, planted in people's hearts, in the hearts of love.
The most interesting thing was to watch the play. In summer, there would be an opera troupe in the village. At that time, the opera troupes were all organized by the people themselves, and they mainly sang the duet. He didn't know if they were invited by the village or if they were here to perform. In short, they were here to perform. At that time, the leaders of the team were extremely busy. They had to choose a location for the troupe and sing there. They had to make people feel comfortable and relaxed. Jia Kun remembered that the stage was set up on the lawn in front of his house. The stage was tied up with poles and a mat shed was set up on it. The mat shed was mostly made of canvas bags. It was mainly used to prevent rain and block the hot sun. It also had a certain visual space. It was very creative.
After the stage was set up, the two sides of the stage were surrounded by stands. Then, wooden stakes and boards were used to build the stands. The stands were high and low. At the highest point, it was very cool. It was bright and could be seen from afar. Only officials and some people with status could sit on such seats. They did not need to buy tickets. They were free.
There were people from the countryside watching the show, as well as people from other places. The locals who were close to their homes would bring stools or chairs from their homes. Whoever arrived first would occupy a strong spot and sit there without moving. Then, a few people came in one after another and sat down in an orderly manner. At this time, most of the people in the village who contacted the other villages were people who came to visit their relatives in the village. One spread the news to ten, ten spread the news to a hundred, and everyone knew. This was very lively. Those who did not know each other and those who knew each other came to each other. After the filming was ready, the actors were about to appear. At this time, the children were even more lively. They chased each other and ran straight. The adults shouted to stop them,
"It's time to perform. Stop it."
However, they still didn't listen. The adults caught one and slapped his butt. After that, those who saw it became obedient.
As everyone waited anxiously below, some of them actually whistled, and some of them shouted anxiously,
"Hurry up and come out. I'm so anxious.”
Someone who could control his temper snatched a bite from him and said,
"Why are you so anxious? I want to go home early to nurse the child."
At this moment, it stopped. After a while, the curtain was pulled open and the actors appeared. At this time, the audience was very lively. Everyone was clapping and shouting.
At this moment, the people watching the show were all different. Before watching the show, they all dressed up. The young ladies put on makeup and powder, and the young men dressed up beautifully. They all wanted to see their partners or go on blind dates. The young ladies dressed up very beautifully. They put on new clothes that they couldn't bear to part with. They applied rouge and powder, parted their bangs, tied their braids, and felt satisfied. Then, they came here. The young men did the same. They put on their most fashionable clothes and new cloth shoes that they hadn't worn for a long time. He felt that he was very energetic, so he came here as well. Therefore, this was a good place for young people to fall in love and relax.
Most of the opera performances were two-person turns, and some were even a scene. People loved to watch "Returning A Cup" and "Splashing Water Before Horse." When it came to these two programs, people were like frying pans, shouting and cheering. It could be said that it was very lively and cheering.
Sometimes, the performance would last for two or three days. It was so lively that the village felt like it was a happy occasion.
Then there was the outdoor movies. At that time, the movies were all shown in the town. The whole town took turns to show them, one brigade after another. Every time it was Jia Kun's turn, it would take a month or half a month. Every time the movie was about to arrive, people would run around to tell each other. When they heard that the movie was coming, they would not feel hungry or eat. They just wanted to watch the movie immediately. The whole day was spent in anticipation and longing. Finally, it was time for dinner screening. This time, all the villages within ten miles had arrived, and most of them were screened at the headquarters. The projectionist was a full-time job. When the movie was sent to the brigade, the brigade would drive the car to pick it up and the projectionist would follow. Before the screening, everyone would help to erect the screen and secure it on all four sides. They would use ropes to add weight and nail it to the ground. After it was secured, it would be fine as long as it felt that the wind could not blow it down. It was as if everyone was watching a show. They sat in front of the screen and brought their own stools. There was no need to line up. They sat down and watched the movie. In the beginning, they had to act in a fake film. It was about crop cultivation and product introductions. No one liked to watch it, but they had no choice but to watch it according to the projectionist's projection. When the film was shown, everyone was focused and immersed in the role of the movie. It was already half the night before they dispersed and returned to their own homes. Those from other places had to walk another three to four miles. When they returned home, they also felt the joy and fulfillment of the day.
In the countryside, other than these two events, there were other events that were worth remembering. It was as if these beautiful memories were forever stuck in his heart and could not be erased even if he wanted to.
