A quarter of an hour before and after the time. The location is at the entrance of a certain alley, under a small tree. figure grandpa song Song Yu'e Yu Zhifang Qi Lingyun [Curtain opening: Grandpa Song's tea stand.There is also a small bamboo pole next to the stall, surrounded by straw, on which are simple toys made by Grandpa Song - a small windmill, a small rooster made of chicken feathers and straw.The old man sat on a small bench, stood up and looked around from time to time, and then sat down again, making small toys. [Song Yu'e waits, waving as she walks: "See you later, Mrs. Wei!" Sister Wei's voice: "Goodbye, girls!" Grandpa Song stands up.

Grandpa Song Yu'e!Yu'e!obedient!I'm home? Song Yu'e is back, grandpa! Yu Zhifang Qi Lingyun Grandpa Song! Grandpa Song!Sit down, sit down!Drink tea as you like, whoever drinks it will pour it himself!Yu'e, have you passed the exam? Song Yu'e, guess what?grandfather! Grandpa Song (looks at them one by one) Seeing your expressions, I have to say, you all passed the exam!Right? Grandpa Yu Zhifang, you have good eyesight! Grandpa Song is almost eighty years old, can he lose his eyesight?Girls, ever since there were female tram and car drivers on our street, I said to myself: OK!My Yu'e is doing it!She will definitely not live aggrieved like her grandma and mother, and die in a worthless way!Girls, you've come at a good time!Yes, who knows what earth-shattering things you will do!My old man dare not say it, for fear that it will be too small, and I will wrong you!

Grandpa Qi Lingyun, we are going to be salesmen, can we stand up to the sky? Grandpa Song is hard to say, girl!You can tell me, since my legs and feet failed, I set up this small tea stand and made some small things.Before liberation, everyone said that, and I also believed that: I am a person of little use.However, in the past few years, with Chairman Mao leading everyone, people seem to have changed. Anyone who drinks a bowl of hot tea from me will say thank you, which makes me feel that I am not completely useless!For these small gadgets, the old neighbors will give two points if they have money; , I felt that I had indeed done a great thing!I'm going to sing: Little boy, how fat, the rooster crows and the world is bright!Little girl, how beautiful, take a sip of water from Grandpa!

Grandpa Song Yu'e, once I earn a salary, you won't need to sell tea anymore. How can Grandpa Song do it? This stall is a sign of our alley, a small inquiry office. If you want to ask for your name, you don’t need to ask the police, just ask me.I know whose dolls have rashes, and whose children have cheeks. I will tell everyone here immediately. Be careful, don’t ask the children to play with the pony, because the pony has cheeks!Your filial piety, Yu'e, I understand.However, I still have to set up this stall.I can reduce the price by half, and change the two points to one point, isn't it more decent?Well, if I go out of business, everyone will see that the sign on the alley entrance is gone, and they will guess wildly: Isn't Uncle Song dead?That influence is not good!not good!

Yu Zhifang is really bad! Yes, Grandpa Song, Yu'e, I can see that Chairman Mao's intention is to let poor people like us live a long life, live more vigorously, and be respected.Yes, this is fresh and interesting!Drink, girls, there's plenty of tea! Qi Lingyun We are not thirsty, grandpa! Grandpa Song let me take a good look at you!Three salesgirls, just wow, nothing else to say!Come to think of it, isn't this new?What a man can do, you can do too, what courage, what a heart, who knows, Miss Qi! ... Song Yu'e's name is Ling Yun, grandpa! That’s right, Grandpa Song, isn’t his nickname Yun’er, I dare not call him that anymore!Ah, who knows, Qi Lingyun, in three to five years, you won't be the manager of a department store?

Qi Lingyun me?I'm afraid I don't have that much ability! Grandpa Song, there is still a female minister now!You, Yu Zhifang, who knows, if you don't take a long train or a large ship's cargo, you will go everywhere in the mountains, the south, the sea, and the north? Yu Zhifang Grandpa Song, I haven't seen a ship yet! Don't be too busy, Grandpa Song. When you escorted a ship of goods across the ocean, didn't you see the ship?You, Yu'e, little granddaughter, maybe carry a big bag of groceries, climb, climb, climb to the mountain village, and send socks, handkerchiefs, floral cloths to the big girls and daughters-in-law there... Tell them to welcome you, thank you!Yu'e, would you like to go?

Yu Zhifang, Yu'e, if you think you are too tired to climb the mountain, let's change, you put on the boat, and I will go to climb the mountain! Grandpa Song, have you inquired, what are you selling? Song Yu'e is probably cloth, department stores, candy or something.This is what I think. Doesn’t Grandpa Song sell oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cabbage and tofu? Qi Lingyun read what you said, Grandpa, selling candy is enough, but also selling cabbage and tofu? Miss Song, grandpa, don't draw a moral on yourself!As a salesperson, you should know everything.I sold green vegetables back then, so the knowledge in it is great!

Grandpa Yu Zhifang, when you are free, tell us how to pack the vegetables!This time, Yu'e and I were able to pass the exam, thanks to your contribution! Grandpa Song, what credit do I have? Yu Zhifang, if you don't teach us how to abacus, nine out of ten you won't pass the exam! Grandpa Song, in fact, my abacus is not very good!Can only add and subtract, not multiply and divide! Yu Zhifang will solve the problem, grandpa!Yu'e, shall we go to Ling Yun's house? What is Grandpa Song doing? Song Yu'e, don't worry about it, I'll be back in a while. Hello Grandpa Song, let's go, I'll close the stall right away.

Goodbye Yu Zhifang, Grandpa! Goodbye Qi Lingyun, grandpa! Grandfather Song Lingyun, remember, cabbage tofu is more important than candy! Qi Lingyun, this old man, is inseparable from cabbage tofu! (laughs, sing the first song of the first scene with them) Grandpa Song's little girls, how energetic and smart! (Closing the stall) Even if Ling Yun is soft, he will definitely be able to work hard!Well, my old man also has to make a wish: when it comes to "May 1st" and National Day, I will brew several large pots of tea, fragrant and hot, so that everyone can drink for free, so that they can go to the parade!It's not a big deal, it's more or less a meaning, express my mood!That's right, after drinking tea, let's all go, and call Chairman Mao for me a few times!After drinking tea, don't fall behind, shout long live the chairman!
