Chapter 258 Come one, come one
"Xuelian, you received the prize, why did you run down here without saying thank you?"
As soon as Ye Xuelian ran to the backstage, Yu Jiao and Liu Qian, who were on good terms with her, came up to her and said with a frown.
ah?
Ye Xuelian was startled and looked up with a confused look on her face.
Her mind was so full of shame and embarrassment at losing to a country girl that she didn't even think about this.
"You didn't even bow to express your gratitude. Won't the leaders in the audience think that you are unhappy to receive this prize?" Yu Jiao said again.
Liu Qian walked to the stage entrance, glanced at the audience, then walked back and said, "I see that Captain Chen's face has turned black."
Because of the previous incident, Director Chen already had some opinions about them. Not only did he ask the entire troupe to review the situation last time, but he also punished them by not allowing them to perform on stage for a year and only requiring them to be responsible for logistics.
These Ye Xuelians made Captain Chen lose face in front of the senior leaders, and Captain Chen's dissatisfaction with her would probably be even greater.
Liu Qian and Yu Jiao looked at Ye Xuelian with some concern.
The latter looked at the thermos in his hand and wanted to go on stage to remedy the situation, but it was too late.
He blamed the country woman on the stage for disturbing his mind and stamped his feet in anger.
"Okay, now it's the last riddle. Whoever answers it first will be the winner."
The host cleared his throat and said, "There's a place standing alone among the mountains and rivers. Name it."
"Fuling!"
Yu Hui gave the answer almost as soon as the host finished speaking.
They say whoever answers first will be the winner, so you have to be quick.
The host was stunned at first, not expecting Yu Hui to answer so quickly.
The logistics officer shook his head in frustration. He knew the answer, it was just that he was too slow to speak.
Host: "Correct answer, the answer is Fuling."
There was silence for three seconds, followed by thunderous applause.
"Yeah, my mom wins."
“My mom is number one.”
"My mom is number one, number one!"
"See the person on the stage? That's my sister-in-law."
The Gu family was so happy that they were going crazy, and Gu Huai couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Gu Huai, your wife is really good. Not only does she cook delicious meals, but she is also good at guessing riddles. You are really lucky." Deng Changan said to Gu Huai with a smile.
He even secretly went to the noodle shop to eat noodles, and they tasted really good.
In order to avoid the people in the noodle shop knowing that he was Gu Huai's old boss and not charging him for the noodles, he always went there when Gu Huai was not around.
Gu Huai, who was always steady, smiled so hard that his mouth opened wide, revealing a row of big white teeth.
"Comrade Xiao Yu, do you have anything to say to everyone?" the host said to Yu Hui who was pushing a bicycle.
The officer who received the radio bowed and left the stage after expressing his gratitude.
Yu Hui pushed her bicycle to the microphone and mentally composed her words. "At this moment, I'm very excited and very happy. I'm very grateful to the military district leaders for giving me this opportunity, allowing me, as a military family member, to participate in this event, win the competition, and receive this bicycle."
"Thank you." Yu Hui bowed solemnly to the leaders in the audience.
Commander Zhan and others nodded in satisfaction.
One leader even glanced at Chen Min, his eyes clearly saying, "Look at the military families, then look at the soldiers in your art troupe."
Chen Min couldn't raise his head anymore.
"Comrade Xiao Yu, you have won such a big award, shouldn't you express your gratitude?" the host said with a smile.
Yu Hui tilted her head. Hadn’t she already expressed it?
"Shouldn't you put on a show for us all?"
"Is this what you all think?" the host asked loudly to the audience.
"yes……"
"You can't take such a big award for nothing. You have to do the whole show."
"That's right."
"Come on, come on..." The people in the audience clapped their hands rhythmically and cheered.
Yu Hui was very embarrassed standing on the stage, her pretty face flushed.
The Gu family members did not let her go either, and followed her and shouted, "Come one, come one."
Especially the little ones, they clapped and shouted enthusiastically.
Liu Qin, Wen Zhaodi's parents-in-law, Ye Xuelian and Yu Jiao in the backstage were all waiting to see how Yu Hui would step down.
How could she, a country girl, perform any show?
I guess they would just sing a few folk songs and make a fool of themselves.
Gu Huai saw his young wife looking embarrassed and awkward on the stage, and heard someone booing behind him. He turned around and glared at that person.
Yu Qiang: ...No, why is the deputy commander glaring at me?
The booing was about to lift the roof of the auditorium off, so the host stepped out to control the situation.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment and let's listen to what Comrade Xiao Yu has to say about the performance."
The audience fell silent, all looking at Yu Hui on the stage.
Yu Hui wasn't one to shy away. She took a deep breath and said into the microphone, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll give you a performance! Okay, let's sing "Yingshanhong."
"Yingshanhong, this song is quite difficult," the host said with a smile, "someone come and play the piano accompaniment for Comrade Xiao Yu."
"She even asked someone to play piano accompaniment for her. Can she keep up with the accompaniment?" Yu Jiao muttered softly while looking at Yu Hui on the stage.
Liu Qian: "Yingshanhong, she really dares to sing it. The tune is quite high, and many people in the chorus can't even reach the high notes!"
Ye Xuelian also felt that Yu Hui would definitely not be able to keep up with the accompaniment and sing the high notes. She felt that this person had no self-awareness at all and was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
The piano teacher went on stage and sat in front of the piano. Afraid that Yu Hui wouldn't know when she would come in, he didn't play the prelude and let Yu Hui sing first.
The host helped Yu Hui push her bicycle aside and left the stage for her.
Yu Hui nodded to the piano teacher, took a deep breath, and opened her voice.
"Night shift, looking forward to the dawn."
As soon as she opened her mouth, a hint of surprise flashed in the piano teacher's eyes, and the accompaniment quickly followed.
"In the cold winter, I am looking forward to the spring breeze." Yu Hui straightened her chest, raised her head, and sang with emotion. Her voice was loud and melodious.
Ye Xuelian, Yu Jiao and others were dumbfounded.
How could she sing so beautifully, following the piano accompaniment without missing a single note!
Liu Qin and Wen Zhaodi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were also dumbfounded. They thought the attendees could only sing folk songs, but they didn't expect that they could also sing red songs, and sang so well.
Chen Min looked up at Yu Hui on the stage with admiration in her eyes. She thought such a good singing talent should join their art troupe.
When the people in the backstage chorus heard Yu Hui's singing, they all walked towards the entrances leading to the stage and backstage.
"How come she sings Yingshanhong so well? She sings it better than Wenying."
Wenying is recognized as the best singer in their choir and has the highest voice.
I have been sick and hospitalized these days and am not in the group, otherwise Yingshanhong would have been on tonight's show.
"She hasn't hit the high notes yet. She hasn't practiced, so she might not be able to hit them."
“That’s right…”
The leaders of the military region all looked at Yu Hui on the stage with admiration. They didn't expect that she could bring them such a surprise.
The song was so beautiful that it reminded them of the look in the eyes of the common people wherever they went over the years, who were all looking forward to their arrival. They felt very excited and filled with emotion.
