Time: Contemporary
Place: Village Committee
Character: Secretary Zhang - Secretary of the Village Branch
Old Man Li - Farmer , only one daughter
Zhang Cuiying - the wife of Mr. Li
Tian Laohan - a farmer, has three sons
There are many people.
Scene: Place a table and a microphone on the field. A few chairs.
[Secretary Zhang comes on stage.
Secretary Zhang: (speaks through the microphone) Hey! Villagers, please pay attention! The one-child subsidy was distributed at the village committee today! Villagers who meet the criteria are asked to go to the village committee to collect it immediately! (Enter)
[Old man Li and his wife enter the stage.
Old Man Li: Old lady, what kind of money do you think the village committee asked us to collect?
Zhang Cuiying: It’s the one-child subsidy.
Old Man Li: Oh! Old lady, you see, our life is pretty good now. We don’t have to worry about food and clothing. In fact, you can take the one-child subsidy or not!
Zhang Cuiying: Why don’t we want it? We only gave birth to one child and we have contributed to the country. This country specially condoled our condolences. Why don’t we want it?
Old man Zhang: When it comes to receiving money, you are active, hey! Didn't you also cry and make trouble at the beginning that you must still give birth?
Zhang Cuiying: Hey! At that time, I thought that having more children would bring me blessings, and that I would be able to provide for myself in old age if I had more sons!
Old man Li: They say that having a son is for old age, but I don’t think so! We are just a girl now, and we still don’t have someone to take care of us in our old age.
Zhang Cuiying: That’s our filial piety.
Old Man Li: How is it? Just listen to me and just have one child, right?
Zhang Cuiying: Yo! It’s true that I listen to you, and it’s not all thanks to the country’s policies.
Old Man Li: Hey! The country's policies are good, but many people didn't understand it at the beginning and insisted on having a few sons!
Zhang Cuiying: You old guy knows how to laugh at people all day long. In fact, now that I think about it, there are really many benefits to having only one baby!
Old Man Li: Then no, if we are just dragging them along, we don’t have to work hard to earn money to feed them.
Zhang Cuiying: Yes! Having too many children is trouble. Not only providing them with food and clothing, we don’t have to worry about studying, finding a job, or finding a wife!
Old Man Li: Hey! I am afraid that if my son marries a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother in the future and does not provide for the elderly, then it will be all in vain!
Zhang Cuiying: That’s right. Aren’t the old Mr. Tian and his wife in our village like that? I have given birth to a lot of sons, and the hard work has become overwhelming. But my wife is exhausted, and my son doesn’t care about him anymore, he’s all alone! How pitiful
!
[Old man Tian came on stage and heard what Zhang Cuiying said.
Old man Tian: Cousin, who did you just say is so pitiful!
Zhang Cuiying: (flustered after seeing Old Man Tian) I, I didn’t say anyone was pitiful!
Old man Tian: Why not? I heard you were saying that I was so pitiful!
Old Man Li: Cousin, my wife was just saying that your sons are so impressive!
Old man Tian: Don’t swing the hammer there. I clearly heard her saying that I was so pitiful, but you are still there helping her to make a round call! ]
Zhang Cuiying: I am telling the truth. Your sons don’t care about you, you are so pitiful!
Old man Tian: (unconvinced) I am so pitiful, I am so pitiful. No matter how pitiful I am, I still have a few sons. Unlike some people who cannot even give birth to a son. Why! She gave birth to a daughter, she married far away, and she had a headache and fever, and no one had to listen to her.
Zhang Cuiying: (Noisy) You have so many sons, it’s not like you don’t have anyone to take care of you now. I didn’t have a son. If I didn’t have a son, at least I still have food to eat. At least my daughter still knows how to care for me. How can she be like you? There are so many sons, and every one of them is gone.
No, I won’t even support you.
Old man Tian: (very angry) You, you, you.
Old Man Li: My dear, don’t be angry. My wife’s words are a bit irritating, so don’t be surprised.
(Old man Tian turned around and left without answering)
[The crowd came on stage one after another and greeted each other.
Secretary Zhang: OK! I guess everyone is here already. The one-child subsidy will be distributed immediately. Before receiving the subsidy, let me say a few words! (?)
Old Man Li: Village Chief Zhang, what you said is really right! We listened to the government and only had a baby girl. Now, aren't we living a pretty good life?
Zhang Cuiying: Yes! When we grow old, we won’t have to worry about food and clothing. You see, the country still remembers to take care of us, the one-child households.
Old man Tian: Yo yo yo! What you say is better than what you sing. You only have a daughter. How can you be so majestic? Let me see who will pay your respects if you die tomorrow.
Old Man Li: My dear, you are wrong. I am living a good life now, and the government can subsidize me, so I am not anxious at all.
Besides, now that a new trend has emerged, when I return to the mountain after a hundred years, my daughter and son-in-law will approve me as a mourning filial piety.
Village Chief Zhang: Don’t fight anymore, now! Please come and collect them one by one in order!
[Receive subsidies one by one.
Old Man Li: Village Chief Zhang, thank you to the government for remembering us!
Village Chief Zhang: Dad, you responded to the country’s call to have only one child and made a great contribution to the country. The country will never forget you.
[Old man Tian stepped forward to sign.
Village Chief Zhang: Dad Tian, ??it seems that there is no subsidy from you this time!
Old Man Tian: Why do you have Old Man Li’s and not mine?
Secretary Zhang: Uncle Tian, ??this time the subsidy is for the one-child subsidy. Uncle Li only has one daughter, so this subsidy belongs to him! But you have three sons. According to regulations, you cannot receive it.
Old Man Tian: No, I don’t care what your rules are. As long as Old Man Li takes it, I will take it.
Secretary Zhang: Dad Tian, ??I know that you are living a very poor life now, and your son doesn’t care about you, but I do issue the one-child subsidy in accordance with regulations, without you. of.
Old man Tian: I am not afraid of anyone laughing at me now. I am really worried about what I eat now! If you don't give me subsidies, I, I will starve to death in your village committee. (Squatting on the ground and crying)
Old Man Li: Biao, let’s do this! Anyway, I’m not short of money now, so you can take my subsidy back and use it first! Pay it back to me when you have money.
Old man Tian: This, this,
Old man Li: Don’t be embarrassed, we are all aware of your situation!
Village Chief Zhang: Dad Tian, ??just take it first! Our village committee will immediately find a way to obtain the pension for you from your son through legal means.
Old man Tian: Thank you!

Answer: 131je - Intern Level 12009-9-26 19:41
Reporter: King (King), Minister (Minister), Queen (Queen), Ka Princess Mila (Ka), Maid Dusibella (Servant), Prince Simon (West)
Setting: Palace hall with doors on both sides. There is a seat for the king, queen and princess in the hall, with a bench on each side.
(The king sat on the throne, covered his face with a handkerchief and fell asleep.)
Voice-over: The minister is here! (Enter the minister. The king wakes up with a start and lifts the handkerchief from his face)
KING (moves to sit upright) What's the matter? What's the trouble again?
Sir, it’s still the “old problem”, Your Majesty.
Wang Oh - tell me.
Your Majesty, Prince Simon came to propose to the princess. As far as I know, he doesn’t know yet, doesn’t know yet...
King, you mean that he doesn’t know the princess yet. Appearance...
Yes, Your Majesty. The beauty of the princess is covered up, but in fact the princess's heart is very beautiful.
King My dear minister, we are not talking about the soul now, but about marriage. Of course Princess Camilla is the kindest person in our kingdom.
(Enter the Queen, the King stands up, and the ministers bow.)
Queen (excitedly) Are you talking about Camilla? (sitting down)
KING (returning to the throne) Yes, dear.
Later (to the minister) How is Simon?
Your Highness, we have not yet found out the details about him. But I have boldly told him how excellent the character and temperament of Her Royal Highness the Princess are...
The latter is nonsense, she still can't get married until now...
(Princess enters. She Young, happy, healthy, but not beautiful)
Oh, are you talking about state affairs? sorry.
King Camilla, don’t go.
Chen, can I go down now? (The king signals his ministers to exit)
King Camilla, I want to talk to you seriously about marriage.
Card Okay, Father.
King Well, your mother and I have a little plan, and it involves your maid Dusibela.
Ka Dusi Bella?
Wang is exactly her. Let Duce Bella dress up as you.
Card Dress up as me? This is not good.
Wang It doesn’t matter, just design a harmless scam and hold the wedding immediately. According to wedding customs, the bride must wear a veil so that she can surprise the groom after the wedding.
(Ka shakes his head. Voice-over: The maid Dusi Bella has arrived!)
King Okay, Camilla, go back to your room now.
(The Queen leads Camilla out. Dusibella enters. She is beautiful, but she says nothing.)
Her Royal Highness the Queen mentioned to you that you should pretend to be a princess. What happened?
The servant mentioned it, Your Majesty.
Wang Hello. I will take you to where you should go and wait for Prince Simon to come. (Part 2)
(Prince Simon strolled up, sat on the bench, and sighed deeply. Princess Camilla enters.)
West Ah, hello!
Ka (very surprised) Who are you? How did you get here?
West My name is Carlo, and I am a servant of Prince Simon. I guess you must be Princess Camilla’s maid!
Card Hmm. (Sit on the left half of the bench)
West So, do you know that Prince Simon is here to propose to Princess Camilla?
Card Of course.
The sound of the suspension bridge being lowered in the west was so loud! I just couldn't stand it, so I sneaked here.
Card, but how did you get here?
West Well, there is only one way in. Climb up the beech tree, swing gently, and then hold on to the city wall.
Ka You said you swung across the moat from a beech tree? How dangerous that is!
West That’s why I’m so tired, I was so nervous just now.
Ka If it were me, I wouldn’t be nervous at all.
Xi, say it again, I must have heard you wrong.
I'm not nervous at all because it's a normal thing for me, and I'm much lighter than you.
West I always thought I was brave, at least five minutes ago I still thought so, but not now.
Ka You are indeed brave, you came here successfully the first time.
Xi, you have been here many times!
Card Oh, no, I failed the first time when I was a kid.
Xi, you mean you fell down?
Card No, it fell into the moat.
West, can you swim?
Card Of course. I swam back and started all over again, and finally made it over the third time.
West, you will do it for me later.
Card Oh, I want to show it to you.
West You should teach me how to swim first. I've heard of swimming, but never...
Ka You can't swim?
West No. Don't make such a fuss, there are a lot of things I don't know how to do.
Card You can’t swim, but you swing from a beech tree! And you are much heavier than me! Who is braver? It’s still you! (Silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed)
Xi, what are you laughing at?
Card Oh, there's a joke about me.
West I have one too. You tell me first, and I'll tell you when you're done.
Card This joke is so secret that no one in the world knows it except me and the other woman. When I was born, one of my godmothers told me I would be beautiful.
West She is so right.
Ka But when I grew up, I looked average. Later, my godmother said that I would become beautiful only when I meet a real Prince Charming.
West Why is that?
Card Because Prince Charming can see my beauty, my godmother said that the most precious thing in the world is self-confidence, and the most terrible thing is to be complimented. A simple appearance can help cultivate a beautiful heart.
West But in my opinion, you...you are the most beautiful woman in the world.
Card Ah, have I met the prince charming in my heart?
West I really love you very much and hope to have a wedding with you today.
Card But before discussing marriage, you must tell your joke.
Xi Well, listen. Prince Simon looks average. He was afraid of being ridiculed by the princess, so he asked a handsome servant to pretend to be the prince, and finally changed back at the critical moment.
Ka How did they arrange this scene?
The prince will wear armor at the wedding and will not even take off his helmet.
Ka (laughing excitedly) Hey, great!
West Wonderful? This isn't that fun, why are you always laughing?
Card Oh, here's another secret.
Xi Then I also have a secret.
Ka You talk first this time.
West Well...actually I am not Carlo! I'm Simon... Hey, why didn't you pass out or...
Why did it have to be like that? There are many similar things recorded in history books.
West Really? I've never read history.
Card Now let me tell you my secret. Since it was recognized that Princess Camilla was not beautiful, the king and queen arranged for a maid to do the blind date on her behalf. As for Camilla, she can only say that she is a maid.
West So, you are Princess Camilla?
Card Yes.
At this moment your servant is expressing his sincere love to my maid Dusibella!
Xi You are the most beautiful, kind, honest, and lovely woman in the world, and you are also so brave.
Ka (laughing) Simon!
West (laughing) Camilla! (Hearing voices outside) Camilla, see you when the veil is lifted.
Cassimon, see you later when you take off your helmet.
(Prince and princess exit.)
