Wang Xiaofang chimed in, "Okay."
Song Ning frowned slightly, wondering what Huo Chunmei was up to.
Soon, the family sat on small stone benches in the courtyard and began to admire the moon.
“To appreciate the moon, beautiful scenery alone isn’t enough. Sister-in-law, you can play the piano, can you play a song?”
After saying that, Huo Chunmei took the accordion and handed it to her.
Song Ning thought to herself that she shouldn't spoil the mood in this situation, and since she was also in the mood, she sat down in the courtyard and began to play the zither.
This time, she played "Tian Mi Mi" (Sweet Honey).
The melodious piano music immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors.
After all, the songs of that time were both politically correct and professionally competent; there were no love songs like that at all.
But to be honest, this is the first time everyone has heard of it.
The neighbors all live in one big courtyard. Although each household has its own small yard, you can basically see into each other's yards.
Everyone gathered around the courtyard, watching from behind the wall.
"You played so well."
"Yeah, there are such great songs."
Soon, neighbors started applauding her.
Coincidentally, Yuan Yan, the deputy head of the cultural troupe, was visiting her family in this compound. She heard the song as she passed by.
So she stopped and listened carefully.
It has to be said that this piece of music, in terms of style and everything else, was something she had never heard before.
After the piece was finished, Yuan Yan stepped forward and said, "Comrade, you played the accordion wonderfully. I'm the deputy head of the cultural troupe. Would you be interested in applying to the troupe?"
"A performing arts troupe?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ning immediately became interested. If she joined the performing arts troupe, wouldn't she be closer to Huo Bei'an?
Upon hearing this, Huo Chunmei immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Yuan Yan. "Hello, Aunt Yuan, I'd like to audition for the performing arts troupe?"
Yuan Yan looked at Huo Chunmei with some impatience. Over the years, Huo Chunmei had been pestering her to join the art troupe, but she was just too untalented. If it weren't for Huo Chunmei's sake, she wouldn't have bothered with her at all.
“Your skill level is too low, you should practice for a few more years.” After she finished speaking, she stepped forward and took Song Ning’s hand, her face full of smiles. “Comrade, your skill level is very high, no one in the art troupe can match you. I hope you can consider it.”
Seeing Song Ning stealing the spotlight made Huo Chunmei feel uneasy, and she dug her nails deep into her palms.
Why is it that she practices so hard to get into the performing arts troupe but doesn't get any praise or can't get in, while Song Ning gets praised by everyone and is even begged to join the troupe?
Why? That's so unfair!
