lines from Jia Ling's sketch "Year after Year" in the Spring Festival Evening of 2116
Jia Ling: Dear audience friends, Happy New Year! I'm not happy at all to see everyone so happy.
Audience: Goddess
Jia Ling: But as your goddess, I haven't been home for three years. I don't know. Three years later, how are my family? I remember, my strongest father (Xu Juncong); The most masculine second uncle (Yu Bu); The oldest and most fashionable aunt in the village (Zhang Xiaowen). I'm back. Wait, but let them know that in the past three years, I have changed from a small waiter in a small restaurant to an old waiter in this restaurant. Will they laugh at me?
Audience:No.
Jia Ling: They certainly won't, but I think they will. Then what will happen if I tell a white lie and say that I am doing well? !
The first situation:
Jia Ling: Auntie ...
Auntie: Jia Ling is back
Dad: Daughter
Juwan: Show it to Juwan. Jia Ling is really good! Fat again!
aunt: don't listen to your second uncle, really! Let auntie have a look. Well, I did gain weight.
dad: it's good to be fat. Being fat proves that you earn more money outside.
auntie: I don't think I can earn 511 million yuan this year.
Sit down ...
Uncle: Don't tell Uncle when you come back. Uncle will pick you up in the car.
Jia Ling: Uncle, did you buy a car?
juwan: the village chief sold it to me cheaply.
Jia Ling: The village chief is very kind to you.
sec. uncle: what's good? the pedal is not bad. can you sell me? (bicycle pedal) haha .......
Aunt: Go to the side, each orthographic. Ling, I always hear from your father that you are doing well, right?
Jia Ling: Not bad.
Aunt: Still modest. Your dad told me that Jia Ling is the big boss now.
dad: yes, I did.
Jia Ling: Dad, why are you telling my aunt this?
auntie: I didn't just tell auntie. Tell it to everyone in the village.
dad: yes, I did.
sec. uncle: Jia Ling, your father is in our village now, which means you are alive. People who used to be quiet are not only talkative, but also show off in an ostentatious manner there.
Dad: Jia Laoer, who are you talking about?
Jia Ling: Dad, please hold back.
dad: go up there and stay. I'll sit next to my daughter. It's annoying
juwan: that's right, big brother.
Dad: Look how much it is now.
Jia Ling: That's good.
dad: sure, I'll tell you. My daughter's job is good in Shanghai. What are the main advantages? Tell them what's good about it ...
Jia Ling: Well, the company is really developing smoothly. There are many fields involved. Like education, catering, logistics and so on.
aunt: why do you think you are so much better than me?
Jia Ling: Aunt, why do you suddenly praise me? When you praise me, you seem to want to ask me for something.
Auntie: What are you talking about here? Auntie doesn't ask you for anything. Aunt is really happy for you.
Jia Ling: That will do.
Auntie: Not only Auntie is happy for you, but even my little niece is happy for you. Speaking of my little niece, she needs your help.
Jia Ling thought, Give me a pause. It seems that mentioning my little niece is a trap, and it is true to ask me for help. No, I have to change the subject first.
Jia Ling: Aunt, don't say that yet. I heard that your family bought a new big German shepherd, which is very beautiful, isn't it?
Aunt: Oh, my big German shepherd is not only beautiful but also human.
Jia Ling: Really?
Aunt: Speaking of my big German shepherd, who do you think he likes best?
Jia Ling: Who do you like?
Aunt: My little niece. Speaking of my little niece, I really need your help.
Jia Ling thought again: One leng after another. It is said that the urban routines are deep, and I want to go back to the countryside. It seems that the rural routines are not shallow. Forget it, I can't hide. Just ask something.
Jia Ling: Auntie, what do you want with me?
Aunt: Well, she didn't take the college entrance examination this year. But the score is not ideal. See if you can help with the exam. Is to help the serious, find a serious one.
Jia Ling: No, how many points did she get?
Aunt: 261
Jia Ling: That's too low. How can I take the 261 exam?
Aunt: I forgot to add English and math. Look.
Jia Ling: What about that?
Aunt: 271
Dad: It doesn't seem so good this time.
Jia Ling: That's it. It's not easy.
dad: what's the matter, ling? It's not easy, you have to do it with some effort. How good your aunt used to be to you. Do you remember when you were a child, once you fell from the mountain and got hurt all over? The first person to take you to the hospital is your aunt. Have you ever wondered what this is all about?
Jia Ling: Because she pushed it.
dad: didn't she do it on purpose? Right? I'm telling you, Ling, you must not forget your roots.
what is Ben? We are born from the same root, so why bother to fry each other?
Jia Ling: OK, forget it, Dad, I'll do it!
Dad: That's right.
Jia Ling: I don't know if it can be done.
dad: it must be done.
juwan: Jia Ling is really good. She won't forget her roots when she is successful. My little brother can't. It's also a long way from where you were in Shanghai.
Jia Ling: What's wrong with him?
sec. uncle: I don't even want to say
Jia Ling: great.
sec. uncle: two days ago, I had to buy a car. That car is easy to buy, so the Shanghai license plate can't be obtained. Didn't you buy that car for nothing? He bought it, so what can be done?
Jia Ling thought again: Shanghai license plate? Then I really can't do it. No, I have to strike first.
Jia Ling: Uncle, then he really bought it for nothing. No one can get a Shanghai license.
Uncle: Yes, I heard. You have to shake the number. There are many procedures.
Jia Ling: Yes.
sec. uncle: the Shanghai license, can anyone do it if they want?
Jia Ling: Didn't my second uncle ask me for a Shanghai license?
juwan: juwan is confused. Did your dad say he could do it for you?
Jia Ling: Uncle, I misunderstood you. Anything else, just let me know.
sec. uncle: get an account, well, they said that with an account, the license will be easy to handle. What about the rest? We'll just run by ourselves.
Jia Ling: No, Uncle, do you want to register?
juwan: ok, let's have one.
Jia Ling: No, Uncle, it's not as simple as you think.
juwan: why, ling. Don't want to help my uncle? (talking and looking at Jia Ling's dad)
Jia Ling: No, Uncle
Dad: What's the matter, Ling? Can't you do this little thing?
Jia Ling: I can't do it.
dad: at the beginning, our family's account was signed in Huludao from Shanghai, and I said it was moved here. This is now moving back from Huludao, so why not do it for a few things? It's just that Shanghai is too big for me to find the north. Otherwise, I'll run for two days by myself and get it all figured out. I'm telling you, people must not forget their roots. What is Ben?
Jia Ling: Dad, that's so. Shall I try my best to try it out?
Dad: That's right,
Aunt: Jia Ling is so nice. Good people, promising, don't forget their roots.
juwan: that's true.
Auntie: You said that whoever marries our Xiaoling is not blessed.
juwan: yes.
dad: wait a minute. Tell you what, my daughter has grown up now. Follow me with high vision. Most people don't like it
Jia Ling: Yes, it is.
Uncle: Leave it to me, big brother.
Auntie: Just say our child. An advantage. Just say the image, not to mention it; You just say this figure, you can put it aside first, okay? Just say, just say who you want.
Jia Ling: Then I don't have any advantages?
aunt: how can I not? How white these shoes are. Well, leave it to me. The richest man in the east of the village. Boss Wang's eldest son is not married yet. Let me get him for you, ok?
sec. uncle: ah fu, come here.
ah fu: hello, my name is ah fu. Nice to meet you.
Jia Ling thought: What is this situation? To introduce me to him. Potato figure, eggplant face. Is he a crop? I hope he doesn't like me.
a fu: aunt, this will do. A big face and a big plate can give birth to a son.
aunt: do you think so?
Jia Ling: No.
(I can't lie to them that I am doing well, so what will it be like if I tell them that I am doing badly? )
Aunt: Jia Ling is back.
Jia Ling: Yes.
sec. uncle: ling, that's really nice. Put on weight again.
aunt: don't listen to your second uncle. Let aunt see, well, she is really fat.
dad: life is good, just be fat. Come, sit down.
juwan: Jia Ling, don't tell juwan when you come back. Uncle will pick you up in the car.
Jia Ling: No, the pedal hasn't been fixed yet.
aunt: I'm sensible. I always hear from your father that you're doing well, right?
dad: I tell you, my daughter works in Shanghai.
Jia Ling: Dad, Uncle, Aunt. I have something to tell you. In fact, I'm doing very badly.
aunt: what do you mean?
Jia Ling: I just don't know what's going on. It's so difficult outside now.
aunt: how are you doing?
Jia Ling: It's not so bad. I don't have it anyway. Ability to run schools and Shanghai hukou. Aunt, I want to tell you the truth, don't laugh at me, okay?
Aunt: Ling, look what you said.
Jia Ling: Can that little aunt laugh at you?
aunt: you say.
Jia Ling: Actually, I worked as a waiter in a school canteen in Shanghai for the past three years. After three years of experience, I became an experienced waiter.
Auntie: So you said that education was involved?
Jia Ling: the school canteen.
aunt: catering?
Jia Ling: mixed rice
Auntie: Logistics?
Jia Ling: Deliver food
Auntie: Wait a minute, so you are talking about education, catering and logistics?
Jia Ling: Deliver rice in the school cafeteria.
Jia Ling's narrator: What is this? Didn't you agree not to laugh at me? Then what's this? Happy for me from the bottom of my heart? Forget it, the most important thing now is not to make my father feel too bad.
dad: Allah is so sad.
Jia Ling: Dad
Dad: Don't call me Dad, I don't have your mother. Let me ask you something. You told me that you bought a house in Shanghai now, was it false?
Jia Ling: It's false
Dad: So you told me that you became the boss of your company, was it false?
Jia Ling: It's fake
Dad: OK, even if all these are fake. Then you tell me that it must be true that you are dating Hugh?
Jia Ling: This fact really fooled you.
juwan: Jia Ling, leave it alone. I'll explain to your dad. Brother, don't be angry yet. You have to think more about your children.
Jia Ling: Listen to my second uncle.
Jia Ling: Jia Ling, you have to understand it in a different way.
Jia Ling: Yes!
sec. uncle: can this be fate? she is unlucky. Destiny is doomed to be worthless. Whatever!
Jia Ling: What are you talking about, Dad? Sit down.
dad: you stand there and listen to your second uncle. Your uncle has been judging people since he was a child.
Jia Ling: What are you kidding? He has been divorced for three times. That's what they did to me.
dad: come on, second child, it's useless. Say it quickly.
juwan: since our children are not like that. That bastard can't be mixed up. In my humble opinion, just leave her with me and let's take care of her.
dad: the second child is right. Just stay at home. Don't go anywhere.
Jia Ling: What am I doing at home?
sec. uncle: it's no good, just get married. Cooking, washing clothes and having children.
dad: isn't her life bad? Who can marry her?
juwan: her aunt, help her.
aunt: I'll take care of this. The eldest son of boss Wang, the richest man in the east of the village, is not married yet.
Jia Ling: No
Auntie: I'll help you find him. Ah fu, come here.
ah fu: hello, my name is ah fu. Nice to meet you.
Jia Ling's narrator: What is this? Do you want to marry him even if you pretend to be poor? Potato figure, eggplant face. He is a crop. I hope I'm so poor that he won't like me.
a fu: auntie, this won't work.
aunt: then who can do it?
ah fu: a big face and a big plate can give birth to a son.
aunt: do you think so?
Jia Ling: No.
Jia Ling's narrator: It's not good to say that you are well mixed, and it's not good to mix badly. What should I do? Or I'll tell them the truth. Forget it. What may not happen then? Nobody's to blame, just mix yourself up. What home will it be? What year will it be? Go back to Shanghai and continue working.
sec. uncle: Jia Ling, why don't you come in when you go home? Your daughter.
Jia Ling: Dad
Uncle: Let Uncle see, he's put on weight again.
aunt: don't listen to your second uncle, it's really fat.
dad: life is good, just be fat. Enter the house.
Jia Ling: Dad, Uncle, Aunt. I need to talk to you.
dad: what are you talking about?
Jia Ling: Actually, I have been in Shanghai for three years, and my life is not what you think.
dad: what's it like?
Jia Ling: Standing on a tall building every day, looking at the little ants on the ground, their heads are very big; Their legs are very thin; They hold Apple phones; They wear Nike Adi; I will be late for work; They are in a hurry. Year after year flies away, or that little savings. I still can't afford many things I like. Life is always in trouble. I'm not used to it yet. I quietly made a promise to take her to Mongolia. Neither supercilious nor unhurried, maybe that's what life should be like ... Maybe I'll find the freedom I want after I'm 61. This is my life. It's not very good, but it's not very bad. I always think that there is still a dream, in case it comes true. For so many years, I dare not tell you the truth, for fear that you will be sad; I'm even more afraid to tell you lies, lest you ask me to do things, and I can't do it; Sometimes I'm too scared to even go home. But now I also want to understand that everything needs to be faced bravely. You can say whatever you want.
dad: the food is getting cold, so hurry to eat.
juwan: what's going on? tell juwan next time that juwan will pick you up in the car.
aunt: exactly. Are you seeing someone?
Jia Ling: No?
dad: just forget it, I'm telling you that won't work!
