Like all high school students, the future Lu Nan envisions is nothing more than the college entrance examination, going to a good university, finding a stable job, becoming a white-collar worker, marrying a wife and having children, and living a solid life.

However, by chance, he entered a teahouse and witnessed a community that existed like an antique. From then on, he met a group of the most incredible people, and thus had the same absurd dream as them, and started another kind of laughter and anger. scold life.

They are the most traditional people, and they are the most innovative people.

They have no size on the stage, and their tongues are vertical and horizontal, and their arrogance is boundless; but they set rules off the stage, inheriting from ancestors, social rules and family laws, which cannot be desecrated.

What they give to others is the happiest world, what they give to themselves is the saddest heart.

Crosstalk, a traditional folk art that is gradually declining, can once again bloom the flowers of hope in the hands of a group of young people who do not know the heights of the sky and the earth in the barren and ancient soil of Northwest China?

What you listen to is talk and learn to sing, what you watch is how to show your appearance, what you appreciate is delay and frustration, and what you laugh is the inconsistency of the world.

(One)

At the beginning of June, the sky in the western capital has become scorchingly hot, and it is the time when jelly and ice peaks are sold in the streets and alleys.Looking around, you will find that the number of student children seems to have increased all of a sudden. In food stalls, Internet cafes, and even cleaner bars, there are many more immature faces crowded together, as if a river with a sluice is pouring. come.Count the days again—oh!Understood.Just passed the college entrance examination.

For the students who have been holding back for three years, this is the most beautiful summer vacation.

Lu Nan was also wandering around in these streets and alleys, but he didn't feel as relaxed as his peers—he was here to find a job.

Lu Nan's hometown is in Shangougou, and he barely finished middle school here with his parents who went to work in the city.His grades have always been very good, and this is the main reason why his family is reluctant to let him give up his studies. Otherwise, given their family's circumstances, he should have dropped out of school to work long ago.Now the college entrance examination is also taken. Although the results have not yet come out, I feel that it is no problem to go to a good university. The problem is the money.

It is said that the tuition fee plus living expenses for a year of college is at least 1 yuan.This is really embarrassing for his parents.So on the second day after the college entrance examination, Lu Nan didn't need to make a sound at home, but very consciously began to wander the streets looking for a job, thinking about earning some living expenses no matter what, and trying not to reach out to the family as much as possible.

But these days, even college students can't find a job, let alone a student who has just graduated from high school and has no skills.Lu Nan is not afraid of hardships, and is willing to go to some supermarkets and warehouses to do the rough and heavy work of moving goods, but when people look at his small body like a piece of paper, they immediately frown and shake their heads, regardless of how he explains that he has actually practiced before. Two strokes of punching and kicking.

The son is so sensible and working so hard, how can parents see it, and immediately revealed the matter of Lu Nan's job search to relatives and friends who are also in Xidu.Lu Nan's uncle quickly found Lu Nan and offered him a place to go.

In one of the busiest areas in the center of the Western Capital City, there is a very large and high-end teahouse called Shouchun Pavilion.As soon as my cousin mentioned this, Lu Nan waved his hands repeatedly, "If you want to hire waiters in this kind of teahouse, you must know the tea ceremony. I usually can't even afford tea, and I only drink cold water if I want to drink... Where is such an elegant place? I should go! Let people look down on me again. Don’t go, don’t go.”

My cousin glared at him, "Look at your cowardly look! Weidao can't find a job. You just listen to me. I didn't ask you to work in Shouchun Pavilion. I know a cross talk troupe very well. The place of Spring Court is quite prosperous and lively. The owner of the team is good. I want to introduce you to their team as an apprentice, that is, to help them pick up the field, tidy up the utensils, and give them to the guests who listen to the cross talk at night. It’s light and clean, and you can also listen to cross talk for free, which is an eye-opener, how wonderful! The class leader is kind-hearted and easy to talk, as long as you work hard, I will never lose you.”

crosstalk?

This seems to be something that is far, far away from their generation.At most, every Spring Festival Gala, you can see a cross talk actor whose name cannot be named, and tell a joke that is not very pleasant, and you can't remember it afterwards.Lu Nan was shocked that Xidu actually had a live cross talk team by his side.After all, he is a teenager at heart, out of curiosity, Lu Nan agreed without much thought.

The next day, uncle led Lu Nan to Shouchun Pavilion.The cross talk scene is at night, and going to the teahouse during the day is quiet and people are idle.Shouchun Pavilion has a large facade, the private room for drinking tea is at the front and the second floor, and the crosstalk scene is separated, so you have to go around to the back, a small corner.Lu Nan glanced at it hastily, and reckoned that it would be able to seat 40 to [-] people; the stage was also crowded with the seats of the audience below, and it was estimated that the actors talked more vigorously on the stage, and their saliva could be straightened. Fly the faces of the audience in the first row.The plaque hanging on the small table is written with extraordinary power - "Chang Yuan Society".

Lu Nan recited it silently several times in his heart, and felt that the name of this club was very affectionate, as if there were many stories in it.

Uncle Biao was obviously very familiar with this cross talk troupe, so he led him up the stage in two steps, opened the curtain of "enlightenment" and went straight into the backstage.As soon as he entered the backstage, a puff of thick smoke rushed towards his face, almost choking Lu Nan.But the cousin looked very happy: "Okay! It's a coincidence to come today, Mr. Xie must be here, look at the smoke, it's scary to death."

Xie Ye must be the head teacher.Lu Nan frowned. According to his experience, this person has been smoking for at least 30 years, and he doesn't know what kind of old man he is.

The backstage is quite spacious, but the furnishings in the main hall startled Lu Nan—but seeing the dark old sour jujube branches and the Eight Immortals table, there were rows of ancestral tablets, which made people wonder where they had entered an ancestral temple!

Seeing Lu Nan's expression, my cousin smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Master Xie, he has such old-fashioned rules and respect in his mind, which is rare in this world nowadays."

Lu Nan began to doubt more and more whether the old man was really as "kind" and "easy to talk" as his uncle said.

Knocking on the door of a room in the corner, Lu Nan finally saw Master Xie's face.

Lu Nan was quite surprised.

A man about 30 years old, not tall, thin, with sharp edges and corners, only a pair of radiant eyes appeared in front of them.The man was wearing black overpants, a white underwear, and round-toed cloth shoes. There was still a half-lit cigarette between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and two bunches of heavy bodhi seeds were wrapped around his wrist.

Young, full of quack spirit.This is Lu Nan's first impression of Master Xie.

"Hey, brother Zhou came so early today? The storytelling field will have to wait for several hours before it opens. Are you...?" Master Xie walked in and talked to his uncle politely, his eyes were wide open After almost scanning Lu Nan, he paused in a measured manner, waiting for his cousin to speak.

"Hey, this is my nephew. Didn't he just finish the college entrance examination? I was in a hurry after the holidays and wanted to come out and find something to do. I thought about what a child who just left school can do, where can I let the child go to the unclean place?" He is a student boy who doesn't distinguish between grains and grains. Well, this kid likes traditional folk art. I think I'll ask him to help you. You don't have to worry about it, this kid has a real heart , the family situation is not good, so you can rest assured that you are at home, and you can save a meal for his parents. Look..."

Xie Ye was silent.

Lu Nan's heart immediately rose to his throat.My cousin had never talked to him before he came here, how could he expect people like his cousin who have been in the world for a long time to open their mouths with lies.What love of folk art, if asked, he doesn't understand half of the cross talk!

Xie Ye pressed the cigarette butt into the vat, smiled at his uncle and said, "Brother Zhou thinks highly of me. Let me have a chat with this kid, okay?"

The cousin went out with a smile, leaving behind Lu Nan who looked like an abandoned puppy, froze in place full of despair.

Xie Ye beckoned Lu Nan to sit down gently, "Haven't you asked for your honorable name yet?"

Lu Nan thought this person was very strange.At the first glance, I felt that this person was extraordinary, and there was such an old-fashioned toughness in every gesture.To be the head of the class at such a young age, he should be arrogant, but he is extremely humble, even a little humble.In short, this person is like a huge mystery, and there are too many contradictory temperaments in him, which makes Lu Nan curious.

"Uh... dare not. My name is Lu Nan, Lu from Malu, Nan from Nanmu. Hello, Uncle Xie."

Xie Ye couldn't help but sighed, "I'm 27 years old this year, but I'm a bit anxious. You don't have to call me Uncle."

Lu Nan's face immediately flushed red.I really want to find something to make up in a hurry, but I don't know how to word it.And for some reason, facing Xie Ye, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what he wanted to call Brother Sheng.

In fact, it's not that Xie Ye looks so anxious, it's just that Xie Ye has a strong traditional atmosphere and is too old-fashioned, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a young man of the same generation.

"Xiao Nan, I heard from your uncle's voice that you intend to let you learn art with me. But I see...you don't seem to have that intention, right? You just finished the exam and want to find a summer job, right? Sensible, very ambitious, good boy. If you want to come to us, it is not impossible. But you have to think carefully, whether you are just doing some fighting
