Plot summary:
(Environment) It is early summer, and the sun is scorching the earth. In a golden wheat field, many strong men are in the field, waving the sickles in their hands and working hard to harvest the wheat in the field, while some women and children are holding water bottles and food boxes. , go to the fields to deliver water and meals to their families. They worked hard to cut the wheat and refused to stop for a moment. They were all covered in sweat, and some had cuts on their arms. Not far from these people, there was a woman wearing patched clothes, holding a child in her arms, and picking up the wheat left by others.
Zhuang Dingjia: Look, the sun is so hot today!
Strong Ding Yi: Yes, it’s really hot today. I really hope to finish cutting the wheat as soon as possible!
(Ajuan came from a distance with Xiao Doudou and a water bottle)
Ajuan: Dagang, are you tired? Come, take a rest, drink some water, wipe off your sweat, ah!
Dagang: Go, go, go, what are you doing here? Don't you see I'm busy? If you drink water to wipe your sweat, when will you cut the wheat? If we don’t cut the wheat, what will we eat in the future?
Little Doudou: Dad, just drink some water! If you collapse from exhaustion, we really won’t have anything to eat in the future!
Dagang: Okay, okay, put down the water. I will rest after cutting this piece. You two go back, don't get in the way here.
………………
(The author walked up to a strong man and pointed to the bitter sister-in-law in the distance)
Author: Excuse me, is she Who?
Zhuang Ding Bing: She is the most pitiful family in our village. We all call her Kusao.
Strong Ding Ding: Hey, it sounds quite pitiful. Her husband passed away early, leaving her and her mother alone to depend on each other. Hey, God really plays tricks on good people!
(The author walks up to Kusao)
Author: (with a smile) Kusao!
Sister-in-law: Who are you? I don't know you.
(The author trimmed his hair and thought to himself: I am the greatest poet and handsome boy in the world today. I am the charming, omniscient, ignorant, and the one in the hearts of all beauties. The idol Bai Juyi is also! )
Author: Oh, my name is Bai Juyi, just call me Xiaobai!
Author: Sister-in-law, what are you doing?
Sister-in-law: Hey, it’s a long story. At first, our family also had such a big field. After his father died, we could barely survive. But there was a drought a few years ago, and the harvest was not good. In addition, I did very little, and we were not given any tax breaks. The tax was 120 shi per year, but our family didn’t even have 100 shi, so they took the land back to us. (Sister-in-law sighed and looked at the sky with tears in her eyes) Father, please bless our child in heaven! Let him be well so that I can go up and accompany you!
The author thought: Why am I doing this? I have neither merit nor virtue, and I am not engaged in farming. Why do I still have a surplus of 300 shi a year at the end of each year, while these farmers don't even have 100 shi a year? There was a drought the year before last. Didn't the imperial court distribute relief grains and reduce taxes for three years? Why do we still have to pay taxes? It must have been those corrupt officials who got in the way and took these public properties handed over to the court as their own. Alas, the world is like this! I should do something for them. Students, what do you think?
The actors took their final call.
