They went to a larger karaoke bar, rented a private room, added some drinks and fruits, and had a great time together as a family.
When this thing was first introduced, there were no private rooms, and people ordered songs in the hall, which was a bit like the music restaurants of later generations.
To order songs at this time, you have to hold the booklet, but there is no touch screen remote control.
Xu Manman flipped through the playlist and realized that she had been careless. All the songs on it were "old songs" to her, and she only knew a few of them.
While she was still struggling to decide which songs she could sing, Xu Jianguo was already standing in the middle of the venue howling, "You are like a fire in the winter..."
The sound was surprisingly good. Wang Ruxia next to her was playing the rhythm with a bell to cheer for her husband.
Xu Manman finally chose a song called "Probably in Winter", which is one of the few old songs she could sing.
It was in their previous life, during junior high school music class, that an old teacher taught them to sing.
It was very interesting at that time. The music class happened to be the last class on Friday. The boarding students who had lived in the school for a week were eager to go home, but the old teacher took his time and taught them to sing sentence by sentence.
Everyone was still out of breath at the beginning, but the closer it got to the end of the get out of class, the louder the singing became like the howling of wolves. They were just hoping that the teacher would let them go two minutes earlier.
Of course, it is impossible to start the class early, and the teacher with a bad taste will ask them to sing the chorus twice more in the last two minutes, and will not let them go until he is satisfied with the singing.
At that time, children in rural areas did not have electronic products such as mobile phones, and they had no concept of pop music. The only songs they were exposed to when they were young were the national anthem, revolutionary songs, or children's songs.
The songs taught by the old teacher, such as "Probably in Winter", "The Lonely Sandbar is Cold", "Has Anyone Told You", etc., were the most popular music they could access at that time.
Until now, Xu Manman can hum along naturally when she hears the prelude.
"You asked me when I would return home,
I also asked myself quietly,
Not now, not when,
I think it was around winter..."
Putting down the microphone and returning to his seat, Jin Zichu pulled Xu Manman over to lean against his arms, "No matter when or where, Xiao Jin will be with Manman."
Xu Manman smiled and squeezed its hand back, "Don't just talk, come up and sing a song too?"
What surprised her a little was that Jin Zichu finally chose a Cantonese song, "I Just Like You".
Hearing the clear and magnetic male voice, Xu Manman felt a little drunk just by listening to the sound.
When it came down, it received unanimous applause from the audience.
Xu Jianguo said, "Brother-in-law sings Cantonese really well, teach me next time."
Wang Ruxia added enthusiastically, "I want to learn it too. I want to learn 'Thousands of Songs'."
My wife is happy, and Jin Zichu is happy too. Today, almost every request is granted. The Cantonese class will start soon.
Then Chen Ming shouted, "I have nothing, oh... when will you come with me..."
The pink bubble that Xu Manman and Jin Zichu had created before was shattered into ashes.
Zhang Wenjun sang the more fresh and clean song "Childhood".
For the entire afternoon, everyone sang one song after another in the private room, and later on, men and women even started singing duets.
Moreover, selling alcohol in karaoke is a perfect match. When you sing until your mouth is dry, you naturally need to replenish some water. When you are slightly tipsy, you will be more interested in singing.
When everyone came out of the karaoke, it was already dark. Except for Jin Zichu who was still fine, Xu Manman was even staggering as he walked.
She doesn't like beer, so she mixes cola with white wine. Although the proportion of the mixed beverage is relatively high, she drinks quite a lot, and in the end, she is a little drunk.
They had made preparations before coming about not drinking and driving, so they didn't drive here today. Fortunately, this place is relatively close to home, and it only takes about ten to twenty minutes to walk home.
Although it is not necessary to wear a cotton-padded jacket at this time, it is still a bit chilly when the wind blows on spring evenings.
Xu Manman was wrapped in Jin Zichu's coat and held in his arms. By the time they returned home, the alcohol had almost worn off.
But the smell of alcohol on him could not be avoided. Afraid of being seen and scolded by his parents, Xu Manman took Jin Zichu out through the main door that he had not used for a long time. Xu Jianguo called his sister unsportsmanlike and said that if the couple wanted to go back to the house, they would be discovered no matter which door they went through.
Xu Manman doesn’t care whether I die or my fellow Taoist.
However, Xu Jianguo took advantage of his drunkenness to throw a tantrum at his sister and brother-in-law, and insisted on staying with them with his wife. However, Xu Manman didn't know whether he would have the face to face his little wife tomorrow.
