Chapter 4 Act I Scene III

A few minutes before and after the time. The location is Qi Lingyun's home. figure Yu Zhifang Song Yu'e Qi Lingyun Qi Mu and Yu Mu Tao Yueming, Miss Zhao. [Curtain opens: The three girls come to the courtyard of Qi's family.Someone in the room was talking. Yu Zhifang Lingyun, let me take a look first.See if your mother is happy or angry. (creeps on tiptoe, looks out the window, then backs away) My mother's here, too!And a young lad! Didn't Song Yu'e tell Ling Yun that the matchmaker came again? Qi Lingyun, your mother is really nosy, Zhifang! Song Yu'e, let's see who that young man is, Zhifang!

Yu Zhifang (looks again, comes back) That salesman Tao Yueming, I know him! Song Yu'e, let's listen outside, don't go in yet. (The three tiptoe out of the window and sit together on the stone steps) Mother Qi (in the room): How many brothers do you have? There are two brothers, Tao Yueming, and an older brother. Song Yu'e's population is simple! Mother Yu's brother has a great temper! Yu Zhifang lied, there is no such a brother! Mother Qi has a sister-in-law? Tao Yueming did not! Yu Zhifang doesn't have an older brother, where is her sister-in-law? Why isn't Mother Qi married yet?

Tao Yueming's words made me sad!He is a salesperson in a department store. How many times he has met girlfriends, invited them to watch movies, and invited them to dinner.At the end, as soon as he said that he was a salesman, he was gone forever!Poor big brother, how poor big brother! Yu's mother is right, I told Yueming, don't get married in order, change it, my brother can advance.There are only two men in a family, it doesn't look like a family!Aunt Qi, I think this marriage is very suitable, and the match is right! Song Yu'e is well matched, both are salespersons! Tao Yueming has new things and new ways, I can get to know Miss Qi, and make friends first.Although I am young, don't worry, I am extremely stable!

Yu Zhifang is a bit of a liar! Mother Qi, our girl's heart is so high.She was determined to be a movie star.In terms of appearance, she is sure enough!She is the most respectable on this street.However, I am not too happy.How should I put it, if she really becomes a star, wouldn't she have to marry a big shot?There are not too many big people! Isn't Mother Yu going to apply for film school these two days? Qi's mother is right, I don't know if I can pass the exam! Yu Zhifang (Song Yu'e said together with her) We all passed the exam! Mother Qi (runs out with Mother Yu and Tao Yueming): What did you pass the exam?

Yu Zhifang (with Song Yu'e) Salesperson! Tao Yueming what?Salesperson? Song Yu'e is!Don't you like it? Tao Yueming, I... like it!like! Qi's mother, Lingyun, have you gone too?Yu'e's grandfather sells big bowls of tea, so it's a step up for her to stand at the counter.You, Ling Yun, have you forgotten that your grandfather passed Juren and your father was a middle school principal?People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Why would you want to sell needles, threads and brains, ginger for three yuan and vinegar for two yuan? Qi Lingyun, I, I didn't go, Mom!

Mother Qi, did you graduate from junior high school just to stand at the counter?This Mr. Tao said that his eldest brother is a salesperson, and he couldn't even find a match! Yu Zhifang has a saleswoman, but his elder brother has hope! Mother Yu, old girl, you don't have the right to open your mouth! Yu Zhifang, why shouldn't I open my mouth?We are going to serve the people, what right do you old ladies have to stop us? Mother Yu's old girl: Don't brag!Since having you, the family has been in trouble!Dad told you to die, and the family was short of rice and coal, and couldn't even get a wife, so no one would come to be a matchmaker!It took a lot of effort, and how many times I ran, to marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to a baby, and have a large population.You should stay at home honestly, hold the baby and do the work without waiting for your sister-in-law to urge you.But you run out with all your heart, like a herd of wild horses chasing after you.You don't want to, no one cooks, washes and holds children, and you are exhausted, mother and sister-in-law, who are you worthy of!Sorry who!

Yu Zhifang's mother, I will go to work, and I will still do the housework when I get home!But, Mom, you and your sister-in-law have to move your hands too!When everyone starts their hands, everyone's hearts are touched together, and they are amiable!You just sit still, treat me like a slave, and can't go on talking!Our life is tight enough, mostly because you and sister-in-law are lazy! Mother Yu, do you dare to say that mother is lazy?I think you are going to rebel! What about Yu Zhifang, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the host's house, hang out with the west's house, and take it with you to matchmaking and introduce partners!A girl as old as Ling Yun, do you need to worry about her?

Mother Qi (to Mother Yu) Big sister, (pointing to Tao Yueming) Is this young man the one you mentioned last time? Mother Yu is!I didn't finish talking just now, I just wanted to say, he will be promoted to a section member in three or two years! Tao Yueming is right! Yu Zhifang bah!You young man is worthless!It's not that others look down on the salesperson, it's that you look down on yourself, so you don't have any revolutionary energy? Tao Yueming, then, I don't know that girls here like salesmen? We don't count Song Yu'e as one, we don't like salesmen who look down on us!

Tao Yueming, I made a mistake!However, my love is true, not fake at all!I often walk here to and from get off work, and I often see Ms. Qi.Whenever I see her, I think, if I have such a girlfriend, I will do whatever I am asked to do!Go up the mountain to fight the tiger, and go down to the sea to catch the dragon... Yu Zhifang, forget it! (Turning to Mother Yu) Mom, why bother?Isn't it better than doing this when you have time to unpack and wash cotton-padded jackets and trousers? Mother Yu, old girl, see you at home, I won't argue with you here! (to go) Aunt Tao Yuemingyu, don't go!There's nothing I can do if I'm alone!

Mother Qi, young man, please come out too! Mother Yu, you go west, I go east, don't wait for others to go outside! (Down) Tao Yueming, I, I... Young man Song Yu'e, we young people's affairs are up to us to decide.What on earth are you doing? Tao Yueming is a salesperson! How many years has Song Yu'e been doing it? Tao Yueming has more than three years. Song Yu'e Zhifang, shall we make him such a friend?He has experience, learn from him! Tao Yueming That's great, I have quite a lot of experience!I'll go buy movie tickets right away, okay? Mother Qi, forget it, young man!Still those two words: Please come out!Lingyun, you should study hard at home and take the high school entrance examination in the summer vacation!Just say what you want, and I won't allow you to sell cabbage tofu!

Mother Qi Lingyun!I didn't go, but do you want cabbage and tofu? Mother Qi? If Qi Lingyun didn't sell it, what would you eat? Yu Zhifang Lingyun, great question!Ask again! Mother Qi Lingyun, look, there is no idle young man in the alley, only me!Can I not want to go out and do something? Mother Qi, then, are you still going? Qi Lingyun did not!I want to talk about this reason!Don't underestimate the salesperson, everything is knowledge! Tao Yueming is right!Department stores are full of knowledge! Mother Qi Lingyun, do you see that in our society, everything we do is for the purpose of building socialism?Look at the female bricklayers, wearing long rubber boots and wearing a small hat on the head, how proud they are, they are not ashamed!The female tram driver was running proudly and clangingly in the middle of the main road, so proud and not ashamed!So I think it is very good for Zhifang and Yu'e to be salespersons! Mother Qi, they are them! Aunt Yu Zhifang Qi, what's the matter with us? Qi's mother Zhifang, I think you are so proud of yourself, how dare you talk to me? Yu Zhifang, why am I unhappy?I am determined to serve and strive to be an activist. Is it a shameful thing? Aunt Song Yu'e Qi, you always look down on my grandfather and always say that he sells big bowls of tea, but everyone in the alley calls him Grandpa Song. After all, he serves people with hot tea and hot water. What did you do for whom? Mother Qi, you can't control it!Ling Yun, have you gone or not? Qi Lingyun, I'm going! Qi's mother can't call it!no! Qi Lingyun, wait until I finish talking!I went to apply for the film training class, I'm afraid you disagree! Mother Qi, look, what's the trouble!How can I disagree?Did you pass the exam? Qi Lingyun will reveal it tomorrow. Mother Qi, good boy, mother can rest assured now!You are born to be star material!Come on, be good!Mommy will get you something delicious!I said Sister Zhao, Sister Zhao! Sister Zhao (up) is here!What are you doing? Mother Qi, go to the street again and buy a chicken with sauce or something. Miss Zhao, what about me?Have you thought about it yet? Mother Qi will talk about it later, you go shopping first! (hands the money) Here you go! Miss Zhao, all right!I'll be right back! (Down) Qi Mu Zhifang, Yu'e, you go home! Tao Yueming, what about me?old lady! Mother Qi, look at the way and go out, don't stumble!Ling Yun, come on! Qi Lingyun, Zhifang, Yu'e, see you tomorrow, let's go together! Mother Qi going together?where? Qi Lingyun, didn't I go to the film training class to watch the list? Mother Qi is right!Look at how confused I am! (Entering the room with Qi Lingyun) Tao Yueming, two girls, what should I do? Yu Zhifang wants to tell me, you have to think highly of yourself first, and be a model salesperson.Otherwise, your love will not succeed! Hello Tao Yueming, your idea is great!But girl, people look down on salespersons, how can salespersons be role models? Song Yu'e said just now: You are the one who looks down on the salesperson, so you can figure it out! Tao Yueming, this is difficult!You see, with my physique and intelligence, if I work in the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant, or the Qinghe Mill, or the First Machine Tool Plant, I must be a role model!However, I am a salesperson, and I am inferior to others when I stand at the counter to sell things. Do I still have to have a playful smile, and when I see old people, I have to call out to old men and women;Am I, my dignified man, so worthless? Yu Zhifang, you can't be a big man, just look at our big girl!We'll make a sample for you to see! Tao Yueming take a look?When you are trained, you will really stand on the counter!Don't talk about the dignified big girl! Mother Qi (at the door) I said, young man, go home, there is no hope for you here!There is a big difference between a salesperson and a movie star! (enter) Song Yu'e let's go, what are you waiting for? Tao Yueming let's go!This saves my movie ticket money, and people will play it themselves! See you tomorrow Yu Zhifang, Ling Yun, hurry up!
