First of all, briefly introduce "social drama":
Lu Xun's short story "Social Drama" is selected from Lu Xun's collection of novels "Scream". Social Drama is one of Lu Xun's masterpieces, written in 1922 and 10. When the author was young, he watched social operas in the countryside for a long time, but when he was an adult, he watched Peking Opera in Beijing, which was boring. The author praised the excellent quality of peasant children in the comparison of memories, leaving readers with a simple, gentle and lovely image of rural children. The countryside is the author's childhood paradise, where he can go fishing, herding cattle and watching social dramas. The author describes the true psychology of children. At the same time, the psychological description of the work is also excellent, such as the eagerness to watch social drama when you can't rent a boat, and the ease when you have a boat, which is really touching.
Second, use the original "social drama":
It is our custom in Luzhen that every married daughter, if left unattended, will go back to her family for the summer. At that time, although grandma was still in good health, her mother had already shared some housework, and she couldn't go home for many days in summer. After sweeping the grave, she had to take time to stay for a few days. At this time, I live in my grandmother's house with my mother every year. That place is called Pingqiao Village, which is a remote riverside village not far from the sea. There are less than 30 households, all of which farm and raise fish, and there is only one small grocery store. But now I'm a paradise: because I'm not only given preferential treatment here, but also exempted from reading "Official Rank Drinks the South Mountain".
I play with many children. Because of the tourists from afar, they all got their parents' permission, reduced their work and played games with me. In a small village, almost all the guests in the family are open. We are all about the same age, but when it comes to seniority, we are at least uncles and some are squires, because we all have the same surname and belong to our own family. However, we are friends. Even if we quarrel occasionally and hit the squire, the people in the village, old and young, will never think of the word "offending people", and 99% people can't read.
What we do every day is probably to dig earthworms, put them on small hooks made of copper wire, and lie down by the river to catch shrimps. Shrimp is a nerd in the water world. It never dares to hold the tip of the hook with its two pliers and send it to its mouth. It takes half a day to catch a big bowl. This shrimp belongs to me as usual. The second is to herd cattle together, but perhaps because of the death of higher animals, oxen and buffaloes bully strangers and dare to bully me, so I always dare not approach, so I have to stand at a distance. At this time, the children no longer forgive me for reading Rank Rank, but all laughed.
As for my first hope there, I'm going to see a play in Zhaozhuang. Zhaozhuang is a large village five miles away from Pingqiao village. Pingqiao village is too small to play by itself. How much money is given to Zhaozhuang every year is a joint venture. At that time, I never thought about why they had to act every year. Now I think it's either a spring match or a social drama.
Just when I was eleven or twelve years old this year, the date has arrived. I didn't expect it to be a pity this year. I couldn't get on the boat in the morning. There is only one ship in Pingqiao Village that leaves early and returns late. It is a big ship and there is no reason to keep it. The rest are small boats and are not suitable for use; People from the center went to the neighboring village to ask, but no. They have already set it for others. Grandma was very angry and blamed her family for not making a decision earlier and rambling. Mother comforted Yi, saying that our play in Luzhen was much better than that in the small village. How many times a year? Forget it today. Only I am anxious to cry, but my mother strongly advised me not to pretend, for fear of making my grandmother angry again, and not to go with others, saying that I was afraid that my grandmother would be worried.
It's over anyway. In the afternoon, all my friends went, and the play had already started. I seem to hear the sound of gongs and drums, and I know that they are buying soybean milk to drink under the stage.
I didn't fish shrimp and ate less this day. Mom was too embarrassed to think. When it was time for dinner, grandma finally noticed and said I should be unhappy. They are too careless, which has never been hospitable manners. After dinner, the teenagers who saw the play also got together and talked happily about the play. Only I don't talk; They all sighed and expressed sympathy. Suddenly, one of the smartest double happiness proposals appeared. He said, "Big ship? Isn't Uncle Ba's boat back? " A dozen other teenagers realized this and immediately encouraged them to get on the boat with me. I am very happy. However, my grandmother is afraid that she is a child and unreliable; Mom also said that if you ask adults to go with you, there will be work during the day, so it is unreasonable to ask him to stay up late. In this hesitation, Shuangxi saw the details again, and then said loudly, "I'll write the guarantee!" " The ship is very big; Fast boys never run around; We all know water! "
Really! None of these teenagers can swim, but two or three are good at making waves.
Grandma and mom also believed, so they stopped rejecting them and smiled. We rushed out the door at once.
My heavy heart suddenly relaxed, and my body seemed to stretch beyond words. As soon as I went out, I saw a white-covered boat moored on the flat bridge under the moon. Everyone jumped off the boat, pulling the pole happily, and pulling the pole after Afa. The young people sat in the cabin with me, and the old people gathered at the stern. By the time my mother sent us out and told us to be "careful", we had set sail, knocked on the bridge stone, stepped back a few feet, stepped forward and got off the bridge. So he set up two paddles, one for two people and one for each person, shouting in a joke, and with the sound of splashing water from the gurgling bow, he flew radially forward on the river with mung bean fields on the left and right sides.
The fragrance of beans and wheat on both sides of the river and grass at the bottom of the river mixed with water vapor to blow on the face; The moonlight is hazy in the steam. The faint black rolling hills, like warm iron ridges, ran far to the stern, but I felt that the ship was very slow. They changed hands four times, and gradually saw the faint Zhao Zhuang, and seemed to hear the blowing of the Song Dynasty, and there were several ignitions. They think it is a stage, but maybe it is a fishing fire.
The sound was probably the flute, dancing and melodious, which calmed my heart a little, but I was lost again. I thought I should be scattered with him in the night wind with the smell of beans and wheat.
The fire is approaching, and it really is a fishing fire; I just remembered that what I saw before was not Zhaozhuang. Facing the bow is a clump of cypress pine. I also went to play last year and saw a broken stone horse lying underground and a stone sheep squatting in the grass. After crossing the forest, the boat turned into a fork, and Zhaozhuang was really in sight.
The most striking thing is a stage standing on the open space by the river outside the village, which is vague in the distant moonlight and almost inseparable from space. I suspect that the fairyland I saw in the painting appeared here. At this time, the boat went faster. Soon, people appeared on the stage, red and green. In the river near Taiwan Province, the awning of the people watching the play was black.
"There is nothing near Taiwan Province. Let's watch from a distance. " Afa said.
At this time, the ship is slow and will arrive soon. Sure enough, it's not near the stage, so everyone has to get off the pole, which is farther than the shed facing the stage. As a matter of fact, our Baimang boat doesn't want to be with Wu Peng's boat, and there is no open space. ...
When the boat stopped in a hurry, I saw a man with a black beard, with four flags on his back and a pike in his hand, fighting with a group of shirtless people. Shuangxi said that it was a famous steel-toed old man who could turn 84 somersaults in a row. He counted it himself every day.
We all huddled in the bow to watch the battle, except the steel-toed old man who didn't do somersaults. Only a few shirtless people turned over, turned over for a while, and all went in. Then Xiao Dan came out to sing, and Shuang Xi said, "There are few visitors at night, and the steel-toed old man is also slack." Who will show the white land? " I believe this is true, because there were not many people in the audience at that time. The country people can't stay up all night for tomorrow's work, so they all go to bed early. Only dozens of idle people in their own village and neighboring villages stand sparsely. Of course, the families of the local rich people on Wu Peng's boat are also there, but they don't care about going to the theater. Most of them go down to the stage to eat cakes, fruits and melon seeds. So it can be counted as white land.
However, I don't care about watching somersaults. What I want to see most is a man in white cloth, holding a big snake essence on his head with both hands, followed by a yellow cloth jumping tiger. But after waiting for a lot of time, I didn't see it. Although Xiao Dan went in, a very old niche came out at once. I was a little tired, so I asked Guisheng to buy soybean milk. He went for a while and came back and said, "No, the deaf who sold soy milk also went back. Yes, I did. I also drank two bowls. Now go and get you a spoonful of water. "
I don't drink water, but I still look at it. I can't say what I see. I just feel that the player's face has become a bit strange, the facial features are not obvious, and there seems to be no harmonious height. The young yawned a lot, while the old talked about their own affairs. Suddenly, a clown in a red shirt was tied to a post and whipped by a man with a white beard. Everyone just cheered up and smiled. This evening, I think it's really the best discount.
However, Lao Dan finally came out. Lao Dan was my biggest fear, especially when he sat down to sing. At this time, I saw that everyone was disappointed, and I realized that their opinions were consistent with mine. At first, Lao Dan just sang back and forth, but later he sat in the middle chair. I'm worried; Double happiness, but broken mouth, mumbling curses. I waited patiently. After a long time, I saw Lao Dan raise his hand. I thought he was going to stand up, but he slowly put it in its original place and continued to sing. Several people in the whole ship couldn't help sighing, while the rest yawned. Double happiness finally unbearable, said, I'm afraid he sings until dawn, we'd better go. Everyone agreed at once, and they were as enthusiastic as when they set sail. Three or four men rushed to the stern, pulled out the pole, backed off a few feet, turned the boat around, started paddling, scolded Lao Dan, and walked towards the pine forest.
The moon hasn't set yet, and it seems that it won't be long before I come to the theatre. When I left Zhaozhuang, the moonlight was particularly bright. Looking back, the stage was as ethereal as the first time, covered with Xia Hong. Blowing to the ear is a flute, which is very melodious; I suspect that Lao Dan has gone in, but I'm embarrassed to say that I want to go back and have a look.
Soon, Song Berlin was behind the boat, and the boat was not slow, but the darkness around it was only thick, so it was already late at night. When they talk about actors, curse or laugh, they speed up the swing. This time, the excitement of the bow is even louder. The boat was like a big white fish carrying a group of children, jumping in the waves. Several old fishermen who fished all night stopped the boat and watched and cheered.
There is still a mile to Pingqiao Village, but the boat is slow. The boatmen said they were very tired because they were too hard and had nothing to eat for a long time. This reminds me of Guisheng, saying that the Podocarpus is in full bloom and the firewood is ready, so I can steal some to cook. Everyone agreed and immediately parked the boat near the shore; In the fields on the shore, all the dark oil is solid Podocarpus.
"Ah, Afa, this is your home, and this is the old six. Which side should we steal? " Double happiness jumped up first and said on the shore.
We all jumped ashore. Afa jumped up and said, "Wait a minute, let me see." So he touched it back and forth, straightened up and said, "Those who stole from us are much bigger." With a promise, everyone dispersed into Afa's bean field, each picked a handful and threw it into the hut. Double happiness thought that if Afa's mother knew that she was going to cry and scold, everyone would go to her father-in-law's field on June 1 and steal another handful.
We older ones are still rocking the boat slowly, some go to the back cabin to make a fire, and the younger ones peel beans with me. Soon the beans are ripe, so they are left floating on the water, surrounded and eaten by hands. After eating the beans, I set sail again, washing the dishes, and throwing the pods and shells into the river without leaving a trace. What worries Shuang is that the salt and firewood he used were taken from Hachi's boat. The old man is very careful, he must know and scold. However, after discussion, it boils down to not being afraid. If he scolds, we'll let him return a dead tree he picked up on the shore last year and call him "Ba Kuozi" to his face.
"Come back! There will be mistakes. I said I write a package ticket! " Double happiness suddenly said loudly on the bow.
I looked at the bow, and there was a flat bridge ahead. There is a man standing at the foot of the bridge, but that's my mother. Double happiness means talking to Iraq. I walked out of the front cabin and the boat entered the flat bridge. When I stopped the boat, we all went ashore. Mom was quite angry, saying that it was past midnight and why she came back so late, but she was very happy and invited everyone to eat fried rice with a smile.
Everyone said that they had eaten snacks and wanted to sleep when they were thirsty. It was better to go to bed early and go back separately.
The next day, I didn't get up until noon, and I didn't hear any news about the Bagong Salt Chai incident. I went shrimp fishing in the afternoon.
"Double happiness, you kid, stole my beans yesterday? I refuse to choose well, and it's broken a lot. " I looked up and saw that my father-in-law got off the boat to sell beans on June 1, and there were still a bunch of beans left on the boat.
"yes. Our treat. We didn't want you at first. Look, you scared my shrimp away! " Double happiness said.
When my father-in-law saw me, he stopped and smiled. "Treat?" That's right. "So he said to me," Brother Xun, was the play good yesterday? "
I nodded and said, "OK."
"Can beans be eaten in China?"
I nodded again and said, "Good."
Unexpectedly, my father-in-law was very grateful on June 1 day. He gave a thumbs-up and said proudly, "This is really a talented person who has studied in Tuas! My beans are all carefully selected, and the country people don't know whether they are good or bad. They also said that my stupid boy is not as good as others'. Today I'm going to send some to our aunt to taste ... "So he went over with a hammer.
When my mother asked me to go back for dinner, there was a big bowl of cooked Podocarpus on the table, which was given to me and my mother by my father-in-law on June/Kloc-0. I heard that he also praised me to my mother and said, "I have learned at an early age, and I will definitely win the first prize in the future." Aunt, you are lucky to write a package ticket. "But I ate beans, but they weren't as good as the beans last night.
Really, until now, I really haven't eaten good beans like that night, and I don't watch any more plays like that night.
