After the Jia County Magistrates and the others were taken away, the villagers still hadn't fully recovered from what had just happened.
The children had also lost their usual liveliness, especially the people from Zhuangzi, Zhang Family and Wang Family. They seemed to have seen the world clearly for the first time. It was also the first time they knew that there was money in Zhuangzi and that many people were coveting it.
Only Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't have any reaction. As usual, they did what they were supposed to do. At the same time, they felt a little happy. The result of Li Xun's intervention was a little different from what they had expected, but the effect was surprisingly good. They believed that for a long time, no one would have any ideas about Zhuangzi.
"Xiao Bao, they're not in a good state. Think of a way to help them recover." Wang Juan looked at the villagers and the children. She knew that they were frightened by the bloody scene just now and the crisis Zhuangzi was facing. If this continued, it would leave some impact on their hearts.
Zhang Xiaobao looked around and saw that Li Xun had already gone to write the memorial with that so-called minister. He pulled Wang Juan into a room and found a stool to sit down. He also asked someone to make a big bowl of soup for him and Wang Juan to warm their bodies while thinking of a solution.
"When faced with this kind of situation, one is to adapt. The other is to let them occupy a commanding position and think that what they did was right. We are the kind of people who adapt. It doesn't matter what we encounter. They seem to be unable to do this, so we can only choose another way."
Zhang Xiaobao said out the two solutions and chose the second one.
Wang Juan also agreed with Zhang Xiaobao. Even if she and Zhang Xiaobao were to personally participate in the situation, they wouldn't feel uncomfortable, let alone just looking at what had just happened. However, they didn't know what to do with the second solution.
"Xiao Bao, where should we start? Are you going to talk to them one by one, like an instructor? " When Wang Juan thought of this, she kept instilling this idea into the villagers, giving them psychological hints.
"There's no need for that. It's not like we're going to make them fight all the time in the future. It's the New Year, and it's just nice. In the past, there was always a Spring Festival Gala. Let's make one too. Think of a program. Other than entertainment, it also has to be educational.
Make the best use of the time to think, and then find someone to practice. When it was the night of the 30th, everyone could not eat and drink all the time. Once they were on night watch, it would be a good time for them to enjoy all kinds of shows.
Let's include what happened today, and let them admire it while also acknowledging it. Describe the enemy as evil beyond redemption, describe us as glorious, and we are the kind of people who have grown wings. "
Zhang Xiaobao rolled his eyes and came up with this idea. He gestured to Wang Juan to fly.
"Birdmen?" Wang Juan felt that this was a good idea, and her mood improved.
"The kind with a halo on their heads. Now, divide the work and think of a way. Let's go home and think. We have to be quick. We have to think of a plan in four hours. Let them rehearse once."
Zhang Xiaobao made up his mind. He drank the soup in front of him in a few mouthfuls, burped, and pulled Wang Juan back home. At this time, the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Clan's people also put down the worries in their hearts. The matter was over, and they also returned home. There were still many things to do.
Two and a half hours later, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came up with a plan for this year's Spring Festival Gala. Compared to the past, it was like heaven and earth. There were no lighting effects, and there was no layout. It was just a simple program.
Zhang Xiaobao was in charge of crosstalk, skit, and other things. Although his writing skills were not as good as Wang Juan's, when it came to things that required standing up and performing, he was better.
Wang Juan was in charge of the singing and dancing. She only had to do the movements and didn't need too many basic skills. As for the songs, because she didn't know if the villagers would be willing to listen to some of her songs from that time, she could only choose the local folk songs and ditties. These things had some strong folk characteristics.
"Xiao Bao, who should we look for? Could it be that we look for the villagers? Then should we personally guide them? Or should we teach them to the people in the inner courtyard first, and then let the people in the inner courtyard teach them? "
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao finished part of their work, but found that it was not easy to find people. If they looked for the villagers, it would be difficult to explain directly to them.
"The people in the inner courtyard are enough. Why do we need to find others? I think Xiao Hong's voice is not bad. When she is releasing ducks and geese, her voice is very bright. Let her sing a better song."
Zhang Xiaobao felt that there was no need to have too many people, and the scene did not need to be too big. This year was the first time. As long as it was lively, it would be shocking enough for the villagers to encounter something they had never seen before.
"If her voice is good, what should we let her sing?" Wang Juan looked for a song in the folk songs she heard when she came here.
"Do you still need to ask? Xintianyou. Let her sing this." Zhang Xiaobao already had a song in mind that the people here would accept. He just had to change the lyrics. This was his specialty, although Wang Juan would hide away every time he changed the lyrics.
Wang Juan thought for a while and agreed with the song Zhang Xiaobao chose. She ran to the storeroom and took out an erhu. She slightly adjusted the strings and prepared to play a song.
This erhu was designed for adults. Wang Juan's hands were small. When she pulled the strings with her right hand, it was not enough. When she pressed left and right, her fingers were not enough. She had to tighten the strings so that the distance of her left hand was much better.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan who was tuning beside him. He went closer and looked at Wang Juan carefully. "I didn't expect you to know this too. Play 'Two Springs Reflecting the Moon'. "
Wang Juan ignored Zhang Xiaobao and continued to tune. When she was almost done, she started to play. 35612615 …
"Don't fool me. This is not an erhu song. This is a violin song. After the 'Liang Zhu' flute, it's the beginning." Zhang Xiaobao did not know how to play any instruments, but he could hear. He could tell right away and acted like he was an expert.
"What beginning? This is the main theme. It runs through the entire song." Wang Juan was much better than Zhang Xiaobao in this aspect. She had no choice. Her education was different from Zhang Xiaobao's.
"Only the beginning can run through it." Zhang Xiaobao was unwilling to admit defeat.
Wang Juan tried too. She felt a little tired and could not keep up with the music. The main reason was that she was too small and the erhu was too big. It was not specially designed for her.
She stopped playing the 'Liang Zhu' flute and started to play the erhu song. Zhang Xiaobao listened from the side and glanced at Wang Juan from time to time. He found that Wang Juan was even cuter at this moment.
"That's right. I've listened to this song many times. It describes the temperament of the pine and the cypress that does not fear the cold. When you listen to it, you will think of the poem that someone wrote. 'Heavy snow presses down on the pine trees, pine trees …'"
Zhang Xiaobao was still acting like an expert. He felt that he should show the same level as Wang Juan and let Wang Juan know that he was not bad in this aspect.
Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao's words and stopped playing. She said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Hurry up and do your work. Otherwise, it will be too late tomorrow. Also, remember, this song is called 'Horse Racing'. It's my fault that I didn't play it well. You didn't hear the fast rhythm from it."
"I like to race while listening to the song. You go do your work. I'll go find someone." Zhang Xiaobao did not show the slightest embarrassment. He stood up and went to find someone. He still looked like he was walking out slowly with his hands behind his back.
Looking at Zhang Xiaobao's leaving figure, Wang Juan suddenly burst out laughing. At this moment, Zhang Xiaobao was the most interesting.
Soon, Zhang Xiaobao called most of the people from the two inner courtyards of Zhuangzi. These people did not know what to do when they arrived at Zhang Xiaobao's courtyard. They looked at each other blankly and whispered from time to time.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took the questions they had written and walked out of the room. Zhang Xiaobao coughed and said to the crowd, "Tomorrow night, I think it's a little too boring to stay overnight. Therefore, Cuckoo and I came up with a plan, which is to make tomorrow night more lively. Now, let's divide into groups."
After Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, he did not wait for the people in the inner courtyard to respond. He directly went to pick people with Wang Juan. Zhang Xiaobao divided the people into two groups. One group looked decent, and the other was cunning. If looking at someone made people want to laugh out loud, then that person was Zhang Xiaobao's superstar.
Wang Juan, on the other hand, was trying her best to pick out the girls. She asked them who could sing well and who could dance a little. After this round of selection, it was already night time. Those who were chosen stayed behind, while those who were not chosen went back to work.
Among the people in the inner courtyard, there were a few talents. Some knew how to play a few kinds of huzi, some knew how to play the flute, and some knew how to play a few drums. When there was no one to use them, they could still support the scene.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan asked these people to eat first and come back immediately after eating. Musical instruments and other things could be found in the grocery store and the storeroom.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan naturally also had to eat. In order to save time, there was only one dish for this meal. It was shredded meat with dried tofu and a big bowl of rice.
"Cuckoo, I've decided. Starting tomorrow, we will think of ways to make violins and pianos. When the time comes, you can teach them to others. Next year, we will prepare in advance and hold a bigger party."
Xiaobao put the dried tofu into the bowl and ate it along with the rice as he whimpered.
"Do you think a violin is like a guitar? It's so easy to make, let alone a piano. If you can make a piano, you have the skills. Why don't we make something more practical? Eat well and don't talk nonsense."
