like her

Theatrical troupes come to the town to sing, at most it takes a week, at least it takes four or five days.Look at the situation of the folks raising money.With more money, I naturally sang for a few more days.

Board and lodging are generally in the homes of the folks.

Whichever house has extra rooms, divide it into a few, and live together for a few days.

Everyone doesn't recognize their birth, and they don't say they find it troublesome.On the contrary, I feel that it is a rare fate and honor, and I take care of it with great enthusiasm.

In the early years, Ruan Gai's family also had an aunt. She liked Ruan Gai very much, and not only taught her the basic steps and hand movements of singing.

I also took Ruan Gai to see her costumes.

She said that these costumes have been worn since she started on stage until now.

It is her most precious thing.

There are also some hairpins, which are very delicate.

When she said this, there was a smile in her eyes.

She on stage is completely different from her off stage. On stage, she has makeup on her face, so that people can't see what her original appearance is at all.Every step you take and every word you say is shaping the characters in the play, for their joy, anger, sorrow and joy, succession and reunion.

The ten years of hard work in the audience are all for the sake of showing in a moment.

After removing the makeup, she returned to her original appearance.

With her plain face facing the sky, she raised her head slightly, looked in the direction of the sky, and told her story in very ordinary words.At what age did you start learning opera from a teacher, when did you get to be on stage, and how did you feel when you were on stage for the first time.When did he join the opera troupe and began to go to the countryside to sing operas all over the country.

At that time, Ruan Gai was young, and she could not remember much of what she said.

But Ruan Gai still remembers that he was very curious at the time.

Aren't you tired after running so many places?

I grew up in this town since I was a child, and I have never been to other places.

Well-behaved, he started going to kindergarten with short legs, and then went to school.No one told her what the outside world was like.

At that time, the person in front of her was about 30 years old, but he had already traveled countless places.

Ruan Gai has never heard of many places, but she has been to them all.

And in Ruan Gai's cognition, aunts like her are either taking care of the children at home or going out to work.In addition, there was one more thing about her that impressed Ruan Gai very much.

Even she would sit on the edge of the field and smoke a cigarette when no one was watching.

In the smog, she looked at the horizon indifferently.

At that time, Ruan Gai had never seen anyone around him who knew how to smoke with women.Moreover, the movements and postures can still be so natural and handsome.

It's like a kind of sustenance when the emotions are released.

Ruan Gai stood beside her and asked her that sentence.

"Auntie, don't you feel tired after traveling so many places?"

She stifled the cigarette butt.

With a smile: "This is the life I expect, it can also be said to be my dream. I traveled all over the country to sing operas until I couldn't do it anymore. Maybe then, I will stop. .”

"Then you don't have your own family and children?" Ruan Gai doesn't quite remember why she asked such a sentence at the time. From her cognition at that time, it seemed that aunts as old as her had husbands and children. child's.

So I asked instinctively.

If she met her again, she would definitely not ask such a question.

Because everyone has their own way of life and pursuit, no one stipulates that it must be the same.Embrace life according to the pace of life you like.

This is taking responsibility for your own life.

As she said at the time:

"I came to this world with my own mission. Everyone is. Some people are to become other people's wives and mothers of children, while some people find another way to pursue their own life. This is not all Is it a normal thing?"

It's just that Ruan Gai was young at that time, and her experience and thinking could not support her to understand those words.It was later that she read a lot of books and met Brother Zhou again.

Met the little dirty boy again.

She smiled and told herself: "Gai Gai, I really like dancing. Every time I dance, I feel so happy."

When she saw her standing on the stage, when she started to dance with the rhythm of the music, the scenes and pictures at that time suddenly appeared in Ruan Gai's mind.

Since then—

When Ruan Gai talked about the person in his memory again, he never called her aunt again.

But sister.

A sister who has her own dream and strides forward for her dream, always young.

She hopes that she will be like this in the future.

Or, that little dirty boy who loves to cry is also going forward bravely.

Childhood memories made Ruan Gai instinctively fond of troupes and plays.

In her heart, she naturally hoped to see that sister again, but the theater troupe who came to Lin Town later were not that group of people.

But in Ruan Gai's heart, there is always something to look forward to.

I always feel that I will see the person I want to see again, but no one thought that in the next few years, the times will develop rapidly and smart phones will become popular.

People's entertainment methods are presented in various forms.There were telephones everywhere, and later mobile phones became popular.

Household color TVs are also readily available, and some families even use network cables and computers.

At that time, it will be rare to see opera troupes set up to sing operas.

The strong old people in my memory have inadvertently deepened the wrinkles on their faces, and some of them are on crutches.Occasionally, when passing by their house, they will hear the sound of babbling and singing.

Ruan Gai at that time, for some reason, had red eyes again.

I don't know if it's because she has never seen the person she wants to see.It was still too windy, and it blinded my eyes.

People who are not good at expressing will always have more delicate and soft thoughts and emotions than ordinary people.

Will also think more.

Ruan Gai belongs to such a category of people. When she was silent, most of them were thinking in her heart.Unconstrained and unconstrained, messy, unable to tell others.

Even occasionally entangled, why the sky looks best when it is blue.

Once after a heavy rain, the sky looked very bright.

White clouds are blossoming, pressing one by one.

Obviously what was washed was the earth, but the sky was also purified very clearly.

She stood at the vent of the eaves, her eyes fixed on the direction of the horizon.

At that time, the little dirty boy was standing next to her, and she couldn't help asking her, "Little dirty boy, tell me why the sky is the most beautiful when it is blue."

The little dirty boy raised his head slightly, and his immature voice sounded: "Gai Gai, do you mean the blue sky now?"

"Yes, at this moment."

"Um……"

"I don't know why the blue sky is beautiful, but I just feel that I am very happy to look at the blue sky with Gai Gai now. I feel happy, and what I see in front of me is very beautiful. Woolen cloth."

This statement is quite novel.

Ruan Gai smiled.

"Gai Gai, you must be the same as you are now. Smile more to look good. It's as beautiful as the blue sky." When the little dirty boy suddenly said this sentence, Ruan Gai found himself smiling so hard famous.

This little dirty boy's mouth is really strange.

At night, Ruan Gai recorded what happened with the little dirty boy in his diary.Write down the date of that day.

If the diary had a search function, if you search for the three words 'little dirty boy', a large number will pop up.

Most of them are very trivial everyday.

But it doesn't feel greasy.

It all happens naturally.

The repertoire that the troupe sang on the second day was "The Butterfly Lovers", which Ruan Gai liked very much.

In order to prevent the sudden accident yesterday, Ruan Gai did not make an appointment with Zheng Bo to go to the theater.Before the show was about to start, I said hello to the little dirty boy, and I couldn't go to the small stall to buy snacks for the time being today.

The little dirty boy asked why.

That candied gourd is so delicious, she wants to eat it again.

Ruan Gai confessed truthfully: "There is a play I really want to see tonight, I must go and wait in advance. I won't get a good seat if it's late."

"Blessed Lovers" has such a heavy weight in Ruan Gai's heart, let alone those old people who often watch operas.It is also extremely preferred.

As soon as Ruan Gai finished speaking, the little dirty boy took her hand, very excited: "Then Gai Gai, let's go!"

Ok?

"Hurry up and take a seat! Be sure to take the middle seat!"

puff.

I have really been on stage since I was a child, and I know exactly which position is the best.

The two arrived at the auditorium under the stage half an hour earlier, but people at the scene had already moved the stools to occupy their seats.Needless to say, they are all chosen positions.

"What to do, Gai Gai, we were in a hurry and forgot to bring a stool."

Yes.

She also forgot.

Go back and get it?

Ruan Gai thought to himself, it would take about ten minutes to go back and forth.

Aren't all the good positions taken up?

Is it possible to stand or squat?

Just when Ruan Gai was debating whether to go back or not, she heard someone behind her greet her: "Ruan Ruan!"

Needless to say, she knew who it was.

She turned her head and shouted, "Brother Zhou, you came so early."

But Brother Zhou didn't reply to her, instead he squatted on the ground and greeted the little guy: "Hello, Duqing."

The little dirty boy also waved his hand very politely: "Brother Zhou, good morning."

He is really Ruan Ruan's little follower.

Brother Zhou smiled.

"By the way, can I wear the dance clothes and shoes I made for you?"

Ruan Gai really didn't expect that Brother Zhou, who has always been calm, would blow her head off at the beginning.

The little dirty boy was a little puzzled: "What dance clothes and shoes?"

Zhou Ge looked at Ruan Gai, she was using gestures to imply that Zhou Ge should stop talking, but the middle-aged Uncle Zhou said he didn't see it, and overemphasized: "Ruan Ruan, didn't you lighten up those dance clothes and dance shoes? ?”

"You don't want to hide it yourself, do you? Those shoes and clothes are too small, you can't afford them."

The little dirty boy also fixed his eyes on Ruan Gai.

Ruan Gai smiled.

But he was gnashing his teeth in his heart, Uncle Zhou was too much!

Brother Zhou smiled happily.

He knew that this girl definitely didn't give away the dance clothes and shoes.

She doesn't care what the reason is, anyway, this girl sometimes changes her temper, so she has to go along with it.

I am not very good at expressing my emotions and doing things quietly behind my back. In the future life, I will always suffer more.

The little dirty boy felt aggrieved, "Gai Gai, do I really have dance clothes and shoes?"

Ruan Gai slapped his chest fiercely, and hurriedly said: "I have some, I forgot to give them to you. Don't cry, I'll bring them to you in a while."

The little dirty boy shook his head: "But I want to see it now."

Ruan Gai: "..."
