Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Chapter 31: Trivia Completed
Yang Yunsheng looked at the words written on the rice paper, wondering whether his master had written them intentionally for him to see, or whether he had thought of writing these two words in the beginning.

As for Ting Yunxuan, even if he was listening to Yunxuan, he would definitely not think about saying good things about Ting Yunxuan all the time.

Of course, I won’t say bad things.

"It's going well. Cao Yunjin has run Ting Yun Xuan very well. Many audiences still follow him even after he left Deyun Club. All the tickets are sold out before every performance. There are even people from other places who come to Dijing specifically to see his crosstalk."

When Yang Guangyi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

It’s not that I think Cao Yunjin doesn’t deserve the audience, but I feel a little regretful about the current relationship between Lao Guo and Cao Yunjin.

Although people outside are commenting that Cao Yunjin is the apprentice who looks most like Lao Guo.

Such words are naturally not good words.

But it also shows Cao Yunjin's level of attainments in crosstalk.

Or no one in Deyun Club dares to say that their crosstalk skills can surpass Lao Guo in the future, or even dares to think about it.

In Yang Guangyi's opinion, Cao Yunjin is a qualified apprentice, except that he is a little arrogant.

No one had expected that things would turn out like this between him and Lao Guo.

When Yang Yunsheng and Yang Guangyi met this time, Yang Guangyi didn't think about the fact that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he decided to test Yang Yunsheng's basic crosstalk skills.

After all, he is his most proud disciple. If he is asked to test his basic skills, he will be slapping himself in the face.

The two chatted about some recent events, several of their senior brothers, and several crosstalk theaters in Tianjin.

The chat lasted until noon.

Until Yang Yunsheng's teacher's wife Zhang Xiuning came to the door of the study and knocked on the open door.

"Alright, you two masters and apprentices, stop chatting. The meal is ready. Let's talk at the table!"

Yang Yunsheng quickly stood up and said, "Master's wife, let me help you!"

Zhang Xiuning did not refuse, because Yang Yunsheng was half a son to her and Yang Guangyi.

Five dishes, one soup, and a bottle of Jingu Daqu.

This was a gift from someone for Chinese New Year.

Since Yang Yunsheng has arrived, we naturally have to serve him some food.

At noon that day, Yang Guangyi drank a full pound of wine and his face turned red.

When Yang Yunsheng left, he was already lying on the bed snoring.

Zhang Xiuning originally wanted to let Yang Yunsheng stay here for one night, but Yang Yunsheng said that he had to arrange a graduation banquet for his sister, so Zhang Xiuning did not let Yang Yunsheng stay.

After taking the bus back home, Yang Yunsheng slept until almost six or seven in the evening.

After getting up, Yang Yunlan came back on her electric scooter and brought him a bowl of noodles and a few cloves of garlic.

If you eat noodles without garlic, the taste will be half as good.

In fact, Yang Yunsheng no longer eats garlic much, but he couldn't resist his sister's kindness.

The third day after returning home was Yang Yunlan’s graduation banquet.

The banquet was held at a restaurant in town.

Each table cost 280 yuan, there were 17 tables, and the cigarettes were Double Happiness cigarettes that cost 72 yuan a pack.

The retail price of a hard-box Double Happiness pack is eight yuan. If you buy in bulk, it will cost seventy-two yuan per pack.

We don't produce those flashy, showy cigarettes that are just for show.

In his hometown of Tianjin, everyone buys cigarettes for eight yuan a pack, or even Jiangshan for six yuan a pack. Yang Yunsheng doesn't want to do anything special.

In the end, the total amount of donations on the books was close to 50,000 yuan, with more than 200 names on the list.

In fact, there are still many people who have not come. These people are the friends Yang Yunsheng made when he was performing crosstalk at Mingliu Teahouse.

Now that Yang Yunsheng is listening to Yunxuan, these people naturally won't think about getting involved with Yang Yunsheng anymore. In the evening, the family gathered together to settle accounts.

Qin Xiufen took out more than 49,000 yuan and handed it to Yang Yunsheng.

"You take care of the money!"

Yang Yunsheng did not refuse. He pointed out ten thousand and looked at Yang Yunlan.

"This ten thousand yuan is for your tuition at the start of the semester and your living expenses for the first two months. If you want to buy clothes, I'll take you there, and I won't give you any extra money."

Yang Yunlan didn't say anything. The tuition fee was only 6,600 yuan, and the remaining 3,400 yuan was enough for her to do many things.

There was also the two thousand yuan that Yang Yunsheng had given her before. After she went to Qingdao, she still had more than a thousand yuan left, which was definitely enough for two months' living expenses.

Yang Yunlan has always been very frugal. When she was studying in the city, she only had 500 yuan a month for living expenses.

But every week when she came back, she would bring some snacks for Qin Xiufen.

There are very few places where she needs to spend money.

Yang Yunsheng counted out another 30,000 yuan and said to his mother, "I'll deposit this 30,000 yuan into your passbook tomorrow. I'll give you the rest after I pay for cigarettes and alcohol!"

At the banquet held in town, the other party only sent four bottles of beer and one bottle of white wine.

The large bottles of juice on each table and a bottle of canned herbal tea for each person were all bought by Yang Yunsheng.

If you buy these two items at the supermarket nearby, you can get a refund or a supplement if you buy more.

When Qin Xiufen saw Yang Yunsheng push 30,000 yuan to her, she pushed the money back in front of Yang Yunsheng.

"When the time comes, just leave me one or two thousand. You can keep the thirty thousand. You're not the same as before. You have expenses everywhere in the Imperial Capital, and you also have to take care of your sister. I'll just take some money for purchasing goods, that's all."

There are two bank cards at home, one is for Yang Yunsheng’s marriage, with a one-year fixed deposit.

One is the dowry saved for Yang Yunlan's marriage, which was saved for five years.

There was 100,000 yuan in Yang Yunsheng's card, but not much in Yang Yunlan's card, only 30,000 yuan.

It’s not that Qin Xiufen is partial, but she feels that when her daughter gets married, Yang Yunsheng, as her brother, should also contribute something. This is his intention.

Yang Yunsheng looked at the 30,000 yuan pushed over to him and said nothing more.

We are all family, and Yang Yunsheng now plays the role more like the head of the family.

Perhaps Tianjin people have been trained to be independent since childhood.

Yang Yunsheng has observed people in many places, and most of them lack responsibility.

Especially for those who feel that their parents are still around and can support them, they will feel that nothing matters.

Yang Yunsheng doesn't judge other people's lives, but he has understood how to be independent and take on family responsibilities since the moment his father passed away.

Perhaps, he also envies such people.

But there was no other way, he had to force himself to move forward.

After taking care of the chores at home, Yang Yunsheng returned to the capital.

Yang Yunlan did not go with them. She was only fifteen years old now, and she had to wait until the end of August to go to Dijing. Then Yang Yunsheng could just pick her up at the train station.

After all, there is no need to come to the capital so early.

She will stay here for the next four years, and if she wants to pursue a master's degree, she will have to stay longer.

If you stay in the capital for work or marriage, you will have time to visit every inch of land and every tourist attraction in the capital.

Then there is Yang Yunlan, who also wants to spend more time with her mother.

Even though the capital is not far from Tianjin, it is not easy to come back.
