After eating early, Yu Xiangnian hurried out.

Two hours later, Yu Xiangnian ran back home.

She was wearing a bright red dress, black cloth shoes, and her hair was tied on top of her head with a red cloth flower.

Seeing this outfit, Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie's eyes widened and the corners of their mouths twitched.

What’s even worse is the makeup on her face!

Thick white powder was applied to the base of her ears, her eyebrows were thick and black, and her face was covered with rouge in circles. Her mouth was also painted all around, forming a large red circle.

Yu Xiangnian proudly turned around in front of Cheng Jingmo, blinked his eyes and asked him, "How is it?"

Cheng Jingmo couldn't bear to look at those thick, sausage-like lips and lowered his eyes. "...very...good."

Yu Xiangnian said happily, "Political Commissar Su helped us apply for some funds from the army, and we had uniform costumes and makeup made."

Her aesthetic sense is not biased.

But the sisters-in-law said that this was the way to dress for yangge dancing, so she believed it.

They put on the same makeup for them and were proud of themselves, thinking they were very beautiful.

Yu Xiangnian said happily: "Then I'll leave. You guys can watch my performance later!"

"Yes." Cheng Jingmo said, "There's still time, let's walk slowly."

I ran too fast, sweated, and my makeup was smudged, which was even more terrifying!

The shows on stage came one after another, but Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie watched them in vain. They didn't remember any of them, but they were looking forward to it all the time.

Finally, the host said, "Now, please welcome the family representatives to perform the Yangko dance."

Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie straightened their bodies, stretched their necks and watched the curtain on the stage slowly open.

More than a dozen women dressed identically had already taken their positions, each holding a red and white fan in their hands.

Cheng Jingmo accurately found Yu Xiangnian in the crowd.

Maybe because she was tall, or maybe because she didn't twist well, she wasn't standing in a conspicuous position, in the last row on the left.

The moment he saw her, the corners of Cheng Jingmo's mouth curved up.

The music started and the people on the stage began to dance.

Except for Yu Xiangnian, these family members were performing on stage for the first time. Perhaps they were too nervous. They could twist their limbs easily on weekdays, but their limbs became uncoordinated on stage.

Those twisted movements caused laughter from the audience.

The corners of Cheng Jingmo's mouth curved even wider, his gaze following that person, his eyes so tender that they almost melted.

The louder the laughter from the audience, the more nervous the people on stage became, and several people made mistakes in their dances.

Yu Xiangnian had to dance himself and keep comforting the family members.

But these family members were so nervous that they forgot their usual skilled movements, and the final scene was hard to describe.

Cheng Jingmo watched Yu Xiangnian twisting her steps while saying something to those people. Finally, she rolled her eyes and shut her mouth.

The music finally ended, and the people on the stage gathered together in a panic and struck a pose.

Some fans were on, some were closed, some were shaking their fans, and some were shaking their bodies.

Cheng Jingmo couldn't hold it in any longer and chuckled, but his laughter was drowned out by everyone else's laughter.

Only he could hear himself laugh.

The curtain slowly closed, and the audience erupted in applause, louder than in the previous shows. Some people even shouted, "Good! Good!"

Yu Jiashun sat in the center of the first row, smiling and clapping. He also said to Hao Yi next to him: "This show is great. I think everyone in the audience is very happy!"

Behind the stage, the family members who had already stepped down from the stage were still trembling with fear.

"Okay, okay, it's over. Don't be nervous." Yu Xiangnian comforted them.

"Oh, I made several mistakes just now." A family member said guiltily.

"I twisted it wrong too," another one continued.

"Me too."

"Me too."

“···”

One sound of self-blame after another.

Yu Xiangnian said nonchalantly, "It's okay. It's all about making everyone happy. Didn't you hear that our show gets the most laughter and applause?!"

Everyone felt better, it seemed that this was the case.

After the three programs, it was the family members' turn to perform clapper talk.

After the failed scene just now, the two family members who were performing the quick-speaking performance refused to go on stage no matter what.

Feng Aiqin talked until her lips were hoarse, but the two family members huddled against the wall with a look of grievance on their faces and refused to go on stage.

Feng Aiqin scolded them and said all the nice things she could, but the two family members just stood there with their heads down, realizing their mistakes but refusing to correct them.

The host has announced: "Now, please welcome the family representatives to perform a two-person allegro performance."

Feng Aiqin wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I beg you, my two ancestors, please come on stage quickly."

The two shook their heads violently.

Feng Aiqin clasped her hands together, almost kneeling down, "Ancestors! Ancestors! You represent all the family members of the family compound! We can't let this person down!"

Yu Xiangnian was also persuading the two of them, saying that they should not look at the people in the audience and just pretend that they did not exist.

All the words were said, but the two of them refused to go on stage.

The host's voice came, inviting them to the stage again.

The two of them even took a few steps back, vowing never to go on stage.

Failure at this critical moment?!

Yu Xiangnian wanted to beat them up. "It doesn't matter whether the performance is good or not. Just do it casually and go through the motions. No one will laugh at you!"

Feng Aiqun felt despair when she saw the two men ready to die.

His eyes caught sight of Yu Xiangnian beside him, and his eyes lit up.

"Comrade Yu!" She grabbed Yu Xiangnian's hands angrily, "You go up and perform in their place!"

Yu Xiangnian: ? ?

She hasn't learned it before, and besides, this is a two-person allegro, she can't split out into a Yu Xiangnian!

The host had urged them to go on stage for the third time, and the crowd's chatter could still be heard.

Feng Aiqun seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and held on tightly, pinching Yu Xiangnian's hands so hard that they hurt.

"You wrote this jingle, and you've learned it from them before, so you know a little bit. Just go up and perform it!" Feng Aiqin said, "It doesn't matter whether your performance is good or not. Just do it casually and go through the motions. No one will laugh at you!"

Yu Xiangnian looked at her in horror and kept shaking his head.

Although she wrote the jingle, she found it interesting to watch them perform the clapperboard when she had some free time after practicing the yangge dance, so she learned it from them a few times out of curiosity.

But that doesn’t mean she will be able to do it!

She can't afford to lose face by asking her to perform on stage!

The discussion in the crowd grew louder.

"Comrade Yu, this time it's up to you!"

Feng Aiqun had a resolute expression and a sharp gaze. She held her hand tightly, as if handing the spark of revolution to her.

Yu Xiangnian's expression was resolute, his eyes piercing. "No! I can't handle such a heavy responsibility!"

It's embarrassing, so let it be. All the family members are embarrassed anyway, and she can't be the only one to be embarrassed!

However, the moment she finished speaking.

Feng Aiqun and another family member quickly pulled her up to the edge of the stage, one on each side, and then pushed her together, not forgetting to stuff two clappers into her hands.

She stumbled out!
