That year the flowers bloomed 1981

In the activity room of the Department of Economics, a group of students preparing to attend the New Year's Day party were rehearsing happily.

In fact, the small party in the class is just for self-entertainment, without too much pressure. Everyone is laughing and joking, and they have nothing to do with the must pay attention emphasized by the class committee.

Li Ye wrote a sketch script, divided it into several parts according to the roles, and gave them to the monitor Zhen Rongrong and the youngest Sun Xianxian respectively.

Sun Xianxian got the script early and has read it completely by now, but the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and his rather decent face turned into a shoehorn.

Brother, my first brother, you are vilifying me too much. You have to change me into a positive character.

What's so ugly about this character?

Li Ye said with a serious face: It is necessary for the show to make you wear a little cotton hat and a little cotton monkey. How can you still be so beautiful?

It's not that I don't mind wearing ugly clothes. I'm not afraid if you ask me to go on stage shirtless, but how can I use my intelligence to eat the noodles of my fellow villagers for free?

Sun Xianxian said anxiously: Look at the lines you wrote. I didn't eat the first bowl of noodles. I exchanged the first bowl for the second bowl of noodles. Why should I give you money? Isn't this a treacherous bad guy?

The Situation Short Drama written by Li Ye was actually the Sea Cucumber Fried Noodles that became famous decades later.

And Sun Xianxian, who speaks a very suitable native dialect, was undoubtedly designated by Li Ye as the protagonist who eats noodles.

As for the other characters, Li Ye could only let Zhen Rongrong worry about the mobilization. The other characters in this sketch had been fooled by the protagonist for a long time. Li Ye was worried that a bunch of arrogant and talented students would not want to take the role.

But Li Ye didn't expect that he was kind enough to give Sun Xian a protagonist and arrange such a big part of the scene, but he wasn't happy about it.

Li Ye suppressed his laughter and taught earnestly: Youngest, you have to look at the problem from an objective perspective. Although we are just performing a short play in the class, this is also art.

Art requires dedication from actors. You play a comedy role just to provide joy to everyone.

Besides, what kind of clown are you? According to you, no one has played the bad guys in the movie yet?

Sun Xianxian's face was full of grievances, and he frowned for a while, but he still said angrily: No, brother, the script you wrote is too ridiculous.

Pa~

It's up to you. You have to do it if you want to, and you have to do it if you don't want to.

Hearing Sun Xianxian's It's time to play, Li Ye immediately slammed the table.

That’s it!

Looking at Sun Xianxian's medium height and listening to his resentful tone, Li Ye felt that he had found the right person.

However, Li Ye's slap on the table attracted the sideways glances of everyone around him, and Mu Yunning, the head teacher who had just come in from the door, narrowed his eyes at Li Ye.

Li Ye, you have just joined the class committee, are you arrogant and arrogant to your classmates? Do you have to do it even if you want to do it, and do it if you don't want to? Do you need me to give you an ideological and moral lesson?

No, Teacher Mu, Li Ye was not fooled by Mu Yunning's harshness and said calmly: Sun Xianxian has some misunderstandings about his role. I am explaining the reason to him.

Ha, then I want to listen to your reasoning.

Mu Yunning sat across from Li Ye and waited for Li Ye's explanation.

Li Ye didn't explain anything, but gave the script to Mu Yunning: Teacher, please read the script first. Sun Xianxian said that the noodle-eating customer is too treacherous and he doesn't want to act. I think there is no problem.

Mu Yunning glanced at Li Ye, took the script and read it carefully.

After a moment, she asked Li Ye strangely: How do you know that some students at the school encountered fraud at the train station when they went home this year?

Of course Li Ye didn't know, but he said calmly at this moment: I just saw that the streets are a bit chaotic now, so I wrote a notebook casually, but in the end it ended with a good-natured misunderstanding. There are still many good people in this world.

The environment at the end of 1982 did have some slight flaws. In fact, people still constituted the majority, but cunning people were really not uncommon.

Out-of-towners don’t get real prices for meals, and long-distance drivers are often extorted 10 yuan to repair a tire.

The people around were surprised, and Sun Xianxian even blamed himself. Li Ye wrote a book that reflected reality, and explained so much to himself in a painstaking manner, but he thought wrongly, which he really shouldn't have done.

Mu Yunning thought for a while and said: Then let's rehearse now and see the effect. Who is the actor in this short play?

Li Ye pushed Sun Xianxian out. Mu Yunning originally selected several people, all of whom were backward elements who were unwilling to sign up for the show. Plus she herself only managed to make up five people.

Li Ye was deeply worried about the performance of these people. They were so coy, but they had no talent for comedy!

Sure enough, after the rehearsal started, the five people were in various situations. They either forgot the words or laughed.

But just this kind of stupid performance had the effect of being nonsense and made everyone laugh.

In particular, Sun Xianxian's accent of that lump was full of joy and won the laughter and applause of many classmates.

Mu Yunning, who was calm and composed, could hold it in at first, but later on he was laughing freely and tremblingly.

Li Ye took a look at some of the boys in the class and saw unusual expressions. He wondered if they would have any regrets after many years.

After Sun Xianxian and others rehearsed hard, Mu Yunning made the decision.

This short play is quite good. You should master it as soon as possible and participate in the selection for the school's New Year's Day party.

Sun Xianxian and others were stunned for a moment. The school party was going to be performed in the school auditorium. There were so many spectators, and they felt a little weak just thinking about it.

But if you think about it more carefully, you are also excited, right?

At the end of the day's rehearsal, Sun Xianxian followed Li Ye to the cafeteria, still reciting his lines as he walked.

Where's the sea cucumber? Did you eat it?

Playing with Nirvana?

Li Ye suddenly patted this little brother on the shoulder and pursed his lips in front of him.

Sun Xianxian immediately saw Bian Jingjing.

Bian Jingjing is really too tall. At 1.75 meters tall, she is taller than most boys nowadays. It is difficult for her not to be noticed.

Youngest! I have created a chance for you. Whether you succeed or not depends on you. My brother can only help you so far.

Sun Xianxian asked in confusion: What opportunity? Brother, what did you do for me?

Li Ye said: Did I create an opportunity for you to perform at the school party?

Sun Xianxian nodded and said: Although I'm not sure yet, I feel that our situational drama is better than those English short dramas, so it should be selected, right?

In the early 1980s, English was the undisputed King of Popularity. Many departments and classes at Peking University rehearsed various English plays and held various competitions.

From the perspective of future generations, you may not understand it, but if you watch movies from the early 1980s, you may understand.

In today's urban movies, if you want to highlight the excellence of the male protagonist, you have him learn and speak English.

Li Ye once watched an old movie, the name of which he forgot. The plot of the movie was a standard drama about a poor boy chasing a beautiful girl.

The poor boy was just in the library and asked to copy a few original English sentences from the book in the professor's hand. Then he started chatting, was appreciated, and finally won the heart of the professor's daughter.

This was nothing at first, but after the male protagonist chased the girl, he said something to the sanitation workers and ordinary people on the street that Li Ye didn't understand - Look, how much time these people have. It’s not worth it!”

And in the last scene of this poor boy, carrying a set of radio equipment that he assembled on his back, he climbed to the top of the mountain on a rainy night to call for strange shadows (aliens). Li Ye really didn't feel good at all.

With the general environment being like this, English dramas at this time are definitely gaining popularity. Sun Xianxian is actually not completely confident whether Sea Cucumber Fried Noodles from the Department of Economics can be selected.

Believe me, you will definitely be chosen, Li Ye said firmly: When the time comes, you can invite Bian Jingjing to watch your performance, and then discuss comedy.

Sun Xianxian scratched his head and said, Brother, is what you said OK or not? What if someone thinks I'm not steady?

.

Li Ye was speechless for a few seconds and had to ask: Youngest, what kind of boys do you think are most popular among girls?

Sun Xianxian stared at Li Ye for a long time, his expression looking as awkward as possible.

Brother, I know you are good-looking, and I also know that you are popular with girls, but can you stop showing off in front of me? I admit it in my heart. You have to let me praise you a few words, right?

Am I such a vulgar person?

Li Ye cursed with a smile, stopped beating around the bush with Sun Xian, and said directly: Girls prefer interesting boys.

What a funny boy.

You were very funny when you rehearsed just now, Li Ye guided patiently: If you can make yourself laugh twice a day, your success rate will be twice as high as others.

Of course, this kind of thing also depends on fate. It is very random. Even if it fails, it is no regrets. It is just a chance.

Sun Xianxian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked different.

Brother, I can definitely do it, definitely.

Boys who fall in love for the first time have one thought, and that is I've given my heart to you, why don't you like me yet?

Sun Xianxian is no exception.

. . . .

After entering the cafeteria, Li Ye separated from Sun Xianxian. He ate with Wen Leyu and didn't like acquaintances sitting nearby and disturbing them.

In addition, Sun Xianxian didn't want to sit next to Li Ye. He would always be fed a mouthful of dog food, and he would feel full before finishing the meal.

After the meal started, Wen Leyu quickly picked the dishes she didn't like in her bowl into Li Ye's bowl, and the things she liked in Li Ye's bowl naturally couldn't escape from the flexible chopsticks in her hands.

While eating, the two chatted, talking about the New Year's Day party.

Xiao Yu, are you going to perform on stage?

Hmm, our class's English chorus has been selected, and I'm the dubbing guitarist.

Li Ye was suddenly surprised and asked, Can you still play the guitar?

Recently, Li Ye met artistic young people playing guitar on the street and in school, but he really didn't know that Wen Leyu could play guitar.

Who doesn't know how to do something special? Wen Leyu nodded his head twice in succession and said: One of my mother's classmates is from the Fangdong Song and Dance Troupe. When they were studying Western music in the early 1960s, they studied Guitar

I stopped learning it after two years. The fingering technique is a bit rusty, but it is enough for simple music.

Li Ye happily said: Then you can teach me some lessons from now on. I want to learn guitar.

Okay, Xiao Nizi agreed simply, but then said: But you also have to teach me how to do stabbing.

.

Li Ye said reluctantly: If you want to learn how to stab, why don't you learn from Uncle Wen? He is also a master of stabbing!

My mother didn't let my father teach me, saying she was afraid that I would cause trouble, Wen Leyu pouted and said, As a result, my father stopped teaching me. I was so angry that I argued with my mother twice, but it was useless.

Then I can't teach you. I'm also afraid of your mother.

Li Ye expressed his stance wisely.

But Wen Leyu immediately narrowed his eyes and exposed two small teeth.

You're afraid of my mother, but not me?

.

There are also disadvantages to being influenced by what one hears and what one sees.

Wen Leyu was taught elegance in his bones by Teacher Ke. Likewise, he seemed to have learned some bad things inadvertently.

I'm kidding you. I told you not to be afraid of me a long time ago. You have a really bad memory. If you want to teach me, just teach me. If you don't want to teach me, can I still force you?

Wen Leyu quickly changed between mood and anger, and explained a few words with a smile, as if he was afraid that his feminine power at that moment would affect his virtuous image in Li Ziye's eyes.

Teach me, I will definitely teach you, Li Ye said dotingly, But you have to be prepared! If you practice stabbing, you will get calluses on your little hands.

Wen Leyu murmured happily: Caluses are just calluses. It's not like I haven't had them before.
