Venue: vegetable market exit

(Sister Tang comes on stage from one side, and Sister Four comes on stage from the other side after shopping. Sister Tang hit the fourth sister. )

Huei-fang: Hey, Sister Tang, are you nagging?

Sister Tang: Fourth sister, it's me. I'm looking for you.

Huei-fang: What's the matter, Director Tang?

Sister Tang: I gave it back to the director. That is my past history. Fourth sister, tell me frankly, do you want to have a boyfriend now?

Huimei: I'm in my fifties. What boyfriend has no boyfriend?

Sister Tang: I know someone, and I think you two are quite suitable. I'll introduce you if you like. Forget it if you don't want to.

Huei-fang: (covering her face with her hand first) Sister Tang? (urgent) Then what? Thank you very much

Sister Tang: Fourth Sister, I think you are still polite. It is my duty and responsibility to care about the body of empty nesters and their emotional life. Maybe I won't care about you after I retire. Same as before. You see, your daughter often calls me to care about you. She is very uncomfortable when she works outside.

Huei-fang: (whispering shyly) Alas, my dead daughter, what do you care about me? Everyone knows that.

Sister Tang: (caressing Huei-fang's shoulder understandably) Huei-fang, your man has been dead for several years. You are a literary activist in our community. It's okay during the day, and no one says a word to you at night. Your daughter has entrusted me several times to advise you to find a good man. Huei-fang, I'll take care of this, and I'll make you satisfied.

Huei-fang: (doubtfully) Are you satisfied with nothing? I said you were Sister Tang (shaking her head). Are you really Jie Fangbei's clock? Stop posing.

Sister Tang: Fourth Sister, think about it first. I left in advance. If you need anything, call me. Goodbye! (below)

Huimei: OK, call. Bye. (After seeing Sister Tang) I should go home, too. I have to rehearse in the afternoon. (below)

Sissy answers the phone at home.

(time: a few days later.

Venue: Simei's house.

Huei-fang mops the floor at home, pushing and going on stage).

Sister Tang: (on the stage, on the left, facing the audience, talking to herself) It's been several days, and I don't know what Fourth Sister thinks. I'm calling to ask. (on cell phone)

The mobile phone on the desk rings:? How I want to have a home, a place that doesn't need too much)

Huei-fang: Telephone, telephone, telephone again? There is no answer. I just won't answer it.

Sister Tang: What is this fourth sister doing? She's not answering her phone. (Dial again)

The bell on the desk rings again:? How I want to have a home, a place that doesn't need too much)

Huei-fang: (Stop mopping the floor and stand) It seems that I can't answer. Someone will introduce me to a boyfriend these days. Don't believe it? Look at Tang's other sister. The other day, she said that she would introduce her boyfriend to me. Actually, I have a crush on someone, but I'm too embarrassed to tell him. Huei-fang leans her handkerchief against the table and picks up her mobile phone. ) It's Sister Tang's phone. (She exaggeratedly presses the phone button, loudly) Hello, Sister Tang? Look, I'm confused, Jiaozi. I just saw your mobile phone.

Sister Tang: (mysteriously, definitely) Fourth Sister, I have all the information about that person. As long as you see her, you will be satisfied. What do you think?

Huei-fang: (hesitantly) Sister Tang, is he good in character? Does he love literature or singing?

Sister Tang: (hastily) Of course he has a good personality! He rented a house in our community. After the Wenchuan earthquake, he was the first person in our community to come forward and donate money. As for other hobbies? (Pretending to think) As I remember, he just likes literature and art.

Huei-mei: (happy) You know I want to find someone with common interests.

Sister Tang: (understanding) I know, I know. We agreed to meet at Guanyin Bridge at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. His surname is Cheng, and he is from Hekou.

Huei-fang: There are too many surnames. There are several men with this surname in our Song team.

Sister Tang: Fourth sister, I tell you, he is Hekou City, another is a big dog head, and the other is a big dog head.

Huei-fang: It doesn't matter what he does, whether he is the boss or the ear. I'm going to see the bird tomorrow. You introduced all the men anyway.

Sister Tang: I remember. Tomorrow at 3 o'clock in the afternoon at Guanyin Bridge, be there or be square.

Huei-fang: Be there or be square. Bye.

Sister Tang: Goodbye! (below)

(Huei-fang continues to mop the floor, dragging it around)

3 Guanyin Bridge blind date

(time: the next afternoon. Venue: Guanyin Bridge Fountain)

Huei-fang: (On the stage, monologue:)

Sisi, I'm 54 years old,

Sister Tang invited me on a date,

There are many people on the pedestrian street.

I want to know who that person is.

Funny people, (hiding their faces and laughing) have to go on blind dates at this age. I have a pension now. I applied for social security and medical insurance not long ago. I, one day, raised my shoulders and opened my mouth. Besides eating, I sing. Besides singing, I eat. What? What songs do you sing when you are old? Why don't I sing? Are there any rules for people not to sing when they are old? How old am I? I'm only in my fifties. How old am I? My daughter often tells me to be careful not to pull (note: this means falling) and trip, so let me find a man to accompany me. I know, but don't worry. (Proud) Not to brag, I haven't been to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Hong Kong and Macao in recent years except paradise. I've been everywhere. Everyone around you said, Huei-fang, look at you. You are too procrastinating. You want to see the world with so many foreigners. Yes, who told you to stay indoors? Now, you should go out like me. (thinking of a person) Alas, they don't know. My fourth sister also has something on her mind. Look at others laughing at home. What about me? Now we have everything except a speaker. (Suddenly thinking that I am happy to break my fingers) Hehe, it won't be bad in the future.

Man: (a puppy is running on the stage, and the man is wearing a mask behind the puppy) Huei-mei, Huei-mei?

Huei-fang: (Just about to answer back, I saw the little dog running towards the man, beaming. The man sat at the table, drank from an enamel cup and touched the puppy's head. Huei-fang glanced at the man, who was very nervous and wore a strange face. Huimei, Huimei, people have been calling me Huimei for decades. Why is a dog called Huimei? What a coincidence. (thinking again) fourth sister, fourth sister? Hehe, the name still sounds "hey, little hey, happy". However, if you looked at my hair the other day, it was all white. It was Sister Tang who forced me to bleach a chestnut color and let me put on some lipstick when I was dating. Oh, hey, look at my lipstick. It's really embarrassing. Look at my face. Is it red? Is it? That's right. I secretly rubbed my daughter's blush. Huei-fang touches the lipstick on her mouth, her pink face and her hair as she walks. That young man with a haircut is really, no matter how old I am, he still wraps a bubble flower on my head. Look at the wrinkles on my face. They can kill mosquitoes. God, I'm going on a blind date?

(Sister Tang goes on stage. Fourth Sister stepped forward to meet her. )

Huei-fang: Look, Sister Tang, you came earlier than me.

Sister Tang: Huei-fang, you came early, but I didn't. I am in a hurry. Look, you're still embarrassed.

(Holding Huei-fang) Huei-fang, come on! As if remembering something, she smiled and took out a piece of paper from her bag. ) This is a letter from Lao Cheng to you.

Huei-fang: (doubtfully) He wrote to me? My eyes are not good and I can't read.

Sister Tang: I'll read it to you. You agreed to the above conditions, and then you went to see him. Forget it if you don't promise. .

Huei-fang: (anxiously) Then read it.

Sister Tang: (glancing at the writing paper) Oh, my eyes are getting old. They were fine yesterday. Hey, masked comrade, please do me a favor.

Man: (stands up and stops suddenly, in Mandarin) Call me?

Sister Tang: Comrade, comrade, it's for you. Please come and do me a favor.

M: What can I do for you?

Sister Tang: Help me read something. This word is too small for us to read clearly.

M: (There seems to be reluctance and embarrassment on his face)?

Sister Tang: (Pun intended) Read it. You see, my help is a great help.

Man: (quietly, shyly taking the paper)

Lao Cheng is 65 years old this year.

Sister Tang: Speak louder, we can't hear you.

M: Lao Cheng is 65 years old this year.

Wear sportswear today,

Holding a small cup in his hand,

Carrying a plastic can.

Huei-fang: (laughs) Sister Tang, what did he learn? Tell him I can't write poetry.

Sister Tang: What poem is not a poem? It is his heart.

Huei-fang: (to the man) Then you can read it to me. Oh, that's weird. Why is he carrying a cup and a kettle?

Sister Tang: (explanation) Lao Cheng is very environmentally friendly when he goes out. He brought this to see you today. Today, I saw the old man in sportswear holding this thing. It must be him. Haha, that's your joint code name.

Huei-fang: What is the joint password? Don't you think this comrade is wearing sportswear and holding a cup in his hand?

Man: (Put your hands behind your back to hide something)

Sister Tang: (glaring at the man, as if dissatisfied) Huei-fang, read quickly and don't interrupt.

Huei-fang: (Listening intently) Ok, I won't interrupt.

(to man) Comrade, why are you wearing a shell?

Sister Tang: Do you care about other people's hobbies?

Huimei: OK, please read it.

M: I have never been married.

Still single,

People who live in warehouses without rooms,

There is not enough savings to eat food.

Huei-fang: Poor thing. She is over sixty years old and hasn't got married yet. Just eat enough. It doesn't matter without a house. I know. Deposit? We are all ordinary people, how can we compare with the rich? If we don't have it, we will have nothing! As long as this person is right.

Sister Tang: Shame on you. You know you love men before you meet them?

Huei-fang: It's yours. What a pity it is that a man doesn't have the love of a woman. You see, my mother and the old man both died young, so I'll marry one.

Honey, my husband died long ago. There were no old people when my daughter was thirteen or fourteen. You said I was poor, and you said my baby was poor. Take care of your heart.

Sister Tang: (a little excited) Huei-fang, you have suffered a lot. This old routine is definitely your best choice.

Huei-fang: It's fate. In the past, men were introduced to me. I'm afraid men will be bad to my children. I'm worried. I'm uneducated, and I'm always afraid that others will look down on me, isn't he?

Sister Tang: Lao Cheng is kind, diligent and honest. Maybe he already likes people like you.

Huimei: Then I'll cook and wash clothes for him every day, plus sing.

Sister Tang: Shame on you, you haven't seen it. Do you really think you can be a family with that old man?

Huei-fang: You have found the right person. I believe you.

Sister Tang: (jokingly) Want to have a boyfriend?

Huei-fang: (anxiously) Nonsense. Who's thinking? (pause) Oh, what else will he tell me?

Sister Tang: I haven't finished reading it yet. You see, you always interrupt others.

Man: I'm not ugly,

Eight blind date failures,

There is no fate of not meeting,

If you have strength, you are not afraid of poverty.

Huei-fang: I've only been kissed eight times, not much. After my husband died, at least a dozen men introduced me. I just don't want to see them. I see, this has become a man's man, even dare not kiss, still called a man?

Sister Tang: Huei-fang, you think well. He knows how to go on a blind date, which means he is normal.

Huei-fang: Yes, everything depends on fate. As long as you are diligent, you will never starve to death. You are old. What does it matter if you look good or not? Just getting by. Sister Tang, do you think he has anything else to say to me?

Sister Tang: Yes, listen.

Man: Forget it. I'm too embarrassed to watch it.

Sister Tang: Forget it if you don't look. I have work to do. I'm leaving.

I told you to study. This is our director Tang. The director asked you to watch it, but you didn't watch it?

Sister Tang: Here we go again. Call me Sister Tang.

Man: Director Tang, oh, Sister Tang, I'll read it, I'll read it (aloud again).

Passing Guanyin Bridge the year before last,

There is a woman I will never forget,

I'll sing for her,

Just want to see her every day.

Huei-fang: (I'm anxious) I haven't met her yet, so she can't forget that woman, sing to her and visit her every day. what am I supposed to do？

Sister Tang: Shame on you, you're not old now, and you're still jealous.

Huei-fang: (twisting her body) I'm not going, I'm not going, I really am not going.

Sister Tang: Lao Cheng is an honest man. Look, he's already told you everything. What happened to him?

Huei-fang: Has he finished?

Sister Tang: Do you still want to hear it?

Huei-fang: Yes.

Man: I'll treat you to tea today.

Sister said you were busy,

I know you anyway,

Propose to Simei Guanyin Bridge.

Huei-fang: (dumbfounded)?

M: If we are a family in the future,

I am a cow, I am a horse,

For the sake of future generations,

Pay all the extra wages.

Huei-fang: (pulls Tang aside in amazement) Sister Tang, who do you think this masked teacher is? I am familiar with the teacher's voice! But I don't remember where I heard this voice.

Sister Tang: Fourth Sister, you are not stupid, hehe. Do you know that this is a love letter from Lao Cheng? It is his true feelings that he proposed to you.

Huei-fang: (unable to conceal her inner passion any more) This dead old man, just say it to his face when he proposes, and write it on it? And ask others to help with reading.

Sister Tang: (laughs)

Huei-fang: (Holding Tang Jie's hand) Tell me honestly, Tang Jie, what exactly is this old road you are talking about? I believe I know him and he knows me.

Sister Tang: The old man likes you and he asked me to be your matchmaker. I have a crush on you for a long time, saying that you suffered a lot when you were a child, and I want you to live a better life in the future. Of course you know him.

Huei-fang: (Holding Sister Tang's hand) Sister, is it really him? The one I know?

Sister Tang: Fourth Sister, this is steamed, not boiled.

Fourth sister: (pour white)

I have known this old man for two and a half years.

Never thought about holding hands.

Widowed for more than ten years,

Dead wood meets spring.

Lao Cheng is a good boy,

Never drink or play cards.

He made it clear, hey,

Thank you for hanging up.

Sister Tang: (laughs) Well, you see, you are learning the accent of Lao Cheng. You have known each other for more than two years, and some people come to sing in the choir just to get in touch with you. Are you satisfied?

Huei-fang: (She can't close her mouth any more) Satisfied, satisfied! In the future, I told him that we don't need to keep the warehouse, and we will go to Guanyin Bridge to sing and play together every day.

Sister Tang: What a pity!

Huei-fang: (Looking at the time on the mobile phone, she said to Tang Jie) Tang Jie, you do your thing. I'll accompany the old man out.

Sister Tang: (smiling, taking out lipstick and powder cake, filling Huei-fang with some color and lipstick and pushing Huei-fang to the man) Huei-fang, let's go. The old city is waiting for you there!

Huei-fang: (The turning man is bumping into Huei-fang) Sorry, comrade!

(Old Cheng gets off the horse and stands in front of Huei-fang in high spirits. In addition to the cup in his hand, the kettle behind him hangs on his chest. )

Man: What are you sorry for? Hello! Fourth sister!

Huei-fang: (surprised) Old Cheng? Why are you? I think the sound is familiar.

Man: (embarrassedly) Huei-fang, this scene just now was not my idea, it was all Sister Tang's idea. I'm sorry!

Huei-fang: (shyly) (to Sister Tang on the other side of the stage) Sister Tang? Look at you! What a pity! He knows everything I think. (Turning to the man again) Old Cheng, old Cheng? I really didn't recognize you because of what you are wearing today.

Man: Huei-fang, I really like you. I entrust Sister Tang as a matchmaker. Did you just see it? .. just now?

Huei-fang: Do you know, Cheng? I have been waiting for this sentence for a long time. If you don't say anything today, our fate will be missed.

M: It's fate. You can't miss it! No!

Sister Tang: (happily) I don't think so I help them communicate. I'm a third wheel again. I'd better go. (quietly stepping down) sketch script

Huei-fang and the man look at each other and shake hands. Curtain call! (below)
