Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 186 Second Place

Today is the day of the big party, and everyone in the factory is in high spirits.

Zhang Weiguo made preparations early in the morning and changed his clothes.

It was brand new work clothes, a performance that represented the working class, so it was more appropriate to wear work clothes.

There are no formal dresses at this time.

The most common thing to wear is work clothes.

These work clothes can also be modified to wear by children.

You can tell what the parents do for a living by the work clothes their children wear.

As Zhang Weiguo walked along, he saw that everyone was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.

Everyone is still looking forward to today's performance.

In this era, there are not many programs for you to watch, so everyone cherishes the opportunity to perform a free program.

In the morning, the factory began to arrange people to set up the stage.

Steel rolling mills have no shortage of these iron racks.

The stage was built and the lights were installed.

The performances are all at night. How can they be performed without lights? You can't see them at all.

Not only should there be more lights, but they should also be brighter.

They are all 200-watt light bulbs.

The time is set at 5pm.

At four o'clock, someone came.

People from other factories come earlier, and they won’t come to the steel rolling mill when they have nothing to do.

Take this opportunity to visit in advance.

The steel rolling mill is full of workers from other factories.

By half past four, everyone was ready.

The actors were also backstage, some dressed up and some put on makeup.

At this time, it is popular to put on blush.

Xia Meng finished her makeup and Zhang Weiguo also tidied up simply.

Xia Meng, who was already very beautiful, looked even better after putting on some light makeup.

Zhang Weiguo was a little dazed when he saw this.

It’s not that Zhang Weiguo has never seen a beautiful woman before, but it’s rare to see one as beautiful as this.

Looking at Zhang Weiguo staring at him.

Xia Meng slapped Zhang Weiguo directly.

Zhang Weiguo reacted immediately.

I'm a little embarrassed.

"Are we the first to perform?" Xia Meng asked.

"Let me check the program."

“We’re the sixth show.”

"It's the sixth performance, so there's no rush now."

Five o'clock is almost here.

There are two hosts, a man and a woman.

Both of these people are announcers, not announcers for the steel mill.

The two people introduced themselves briefly and then invited the leader to speak.

There was no time for the leaders to speak, and the speeches of several factory directors made everyone drowsy.

They are all slogans and words of encouragement.

By the time everyone was unable to sit still, the speech on the stage had ended.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, the speech finally ended. If it had continued, people would have run away.

No matter what time it is, leaders’ speeches are the biggest waste of time.

You don’t know why the leader has so much to say and never stops talking.

The most annoying thing is that I have to add two sentences.

After the leader finished speaking, the first program began.

The first program was a piece of Shandong quick talk.

The show was pretty good, and the stage was full of people.

It's really stressful.

As the programs were being performed one by one, Zhang Weiguo and Xia Meng took out the lyrics and memorized them again.

The two sang the song together.

Make sure there are no issues.

Next, a few girls danced.

The dancing was average, with some girls' movements being very stiff and unable to keep up with the rhythm.

It's pretty good to be able to jump like this.

After all, they are not professional dancers, so it is still very difficult to unify so many people.

That’s nothing, just seeing the girls’ faces.

It’s really hard to put it into words.

What's applied on the face looks like paper.

Zhang Weiguo does not agree with this kind of aesthetic.

People at that time all put on makeup like this, except Xia Meng.

Xia Meng has her own aesthetic.

It is an aesthetic that completely transcends this era.

Soon, it was Zhang Weiguo and his group's turn to perform.

"The next program is the song "By the Butterfly Spring" sung by Zhang Weiguo and Xia Meng from the Third Purchasing Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Please welcome them with applause."

Zhang Weiguo appeared in work clothes and Xia Meng wore ethnic costume.

As soon as the two of them came on stage, they were eye-catching.

The two began to sing, their voices were melodious, clear and pleasant.

It seems to be able to bring people into the scene.

After the two performed, they received thunderous applause.

The performance of both of them was loved by everyone.

This kind of singing is comparable to professional level.

The performance of both of them was very successful.

After the two got off the stage, they were very excited.

Xia Meng hugged Zhang Weiguo excitedly.

Zhang Weiguo was also very excited. It was his first time to perform in front of so many people.

It feels like a concert.

After the two finished their performance, they couldn't contain their excitement.

The duo's performance was successful without any mistakes.

From now on, there is nothing more to do between the two of them.

The two also found a seat to watch the next performance.

Some sang Peking Opera, and some sang Huangmei Opera.

There are many types of performances, including acrobatics.

However, the acrobat lost his grip and dropped the bowl.

The shows were performed one by one until all the shows were finished.

Everyone felt that they wanted more.

Next is the time to announce the rankings.

Bring all the prizes to the stage.
