Liang Liang's parents sat in the center of the stage, their faces beaming with smiles. It was the first time they had ever heard their son sing on stage.
I used to think he sang in a terrible, howling style, but I never expected him to actually do it on stage.
When did this kid learn to play the guitar?
The elderly couple looked at each other, neither of them knowing the answer.
They don't have a guitar at home, and they've never seen their son play it. How could he suddenly learn it?
Liang Liang bowed to the audience and said, "Thank you for your support, folks."
"Brother Liang Liang sang so well, please sing another song." Xu Mei didn't hold back her praise, and then made a new request.
The people from Liangshui Bay chimed in, "Yeah! One more song, one isn't enough!"
"Yes! One more song."
Liang Liang could only apologize: "I can't come. Because of the short notice, I only rehearsed one song. I'm afraid I can't come today. Maybe I can come another time."
After saying that, Liang Liang waved to the audience and left the stage.
Unfortunately, he couldn't leave the stage; the applause was so enthusiastic that they brought him back.
"Did you really only rehearse one song? Or should we just sing another one with guitar accompaniment?"
"Sing two more songs! No, no, no! Three!" Xu Mei, fearing things would get out of hand, danced around excitedly in the audience.
"I can't sing too many songs, there are other programs, so I'll sing 'My Fellow Villagers' instead."
"well!"
Another round of applause erupted from the audience.
This song, released in 1990, was a very popular song in rural areas.
Liang Liang didn't lower the key; he started the prelude directly in the G major key of the original song.
"I was born in a small mountain village, where my elders and fellow villagers live. Their beards are full of stories, and their simple smiles are filled with their local accents..."
While eating sunflower seeds backstage, Mu Shuihua on stage became worried.
This is a song sung by a female singer in high notes, and this guy just went straight for the high notes without lowering the pitch. If he couldn't hit those notes, he'd be in big trouble.
Mu Shuihua felt a pang of anxiety, and even the melon seeds lost their flavor.
"Ah! Fellow villagers! Ah! Fellow villagers, even if the tree grows a thousand feet tall, it will never forget you."
Although the song was originally sung by a female singer, Liang Liang didn't think its high notes were very high. He felt that raising the key by two keys wouldn't be a problem.
Liang Liang sang the first chorus with a smooth and melodious voice, earning a thunderous applause.
Encouraged by the applause, Liang Liang gave an impromptu solo performance.
Unfortunately, the villagers didn't understand. Although his fingers were beautiful, like butterflies flitting among flowers, they didn't attract much attention or receive much applause.
After Liang Liang finished singing the first chorus, Mu Shuihua felt relieved and started happily cracking sunflower seeds again. She even kicked Bi Sheng, who was smoking next to her with his head down.
"Old man! You're not happy that I'm taking someone in? See? We've struck gold!"
Bi Sheng chuckled to himself.
He was indeed not happy that Mu Shuihua had taken in people without asking permission during the day.
But now he knows they've struck gold.
He was eight years older than Mu Shuihua, which made him the "old thing" in Mu Shuihua's eyes.
"If I run into Asia again next time, I'll definitely show Li Hui that even if he's gone, his mother can still eat sticky rice cakes." At this moment, Mu Shuihua gritted her teeth.
When Caixia, one of the troupe's two mainstays, left, Mu Shuihua wasn't particularly heartbroken. After all, Caixia had joined the troupe halfway through, so her departure was understandable.
However, Li Hui's departure from the Asia Song and Dance Troupe dealt a heavy blow to the couple.
Li Hui was an orphan taken in by the couple. During his eight years in the song and dance troupe, he was practically raised as their son. But he was seduced away by a vixen from the Asia Song and Dance Troupe.
If his parents treated him badly, it's understandable that he left.
At that time, Mu Shuihua was not pregnant and thought it was impossible for her to get pregnant again. She truly raised Li Hui like her own son, even finding him a teacher to teach him to play the guitar, and trying her best to match him with Ming Hongling...
But none of this could stop Li Hui from leaving; that ingrate left without even looking back.
After Li Hui left, Bi Sheng was disheartened and almost dismantled his team.
Although the team was eventually retained, Bi Sheng's desire to quit never left the company. In three or four months, Mu Shuihua would give birth, and at that time, this makeshift team might not even exist anymore.
But now, an even more outstanding young man has appeared in their song and dance troupe, which makes Mu Shuihua proud.
Regardless of whether this group will still exist in the future, she will definitely go after the Asia Song and Dance Troupe if she encounters them again.
Liang Liang, unaware of the troupe leader and his wife's worries, continued singing on stage.
To Liang Liang's surprise, the audience stood up and started singing along when she sang the second chorus.
Did this cause a scene to explode?
He was only the second to take the stage; the climax seemed to have come a little too early.
As the last note faded away, the applause from the villagers lasted for a long time.
Liang Liang bowed to the audience again, and this time he really stepped down from the stage.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, a series of laughable sounds filled the air.
"Hey, you guys trying to show off how tall you are? Everyone's off the stage, what are you still standing for? If you all stand there, what about the rest of us?"
The person in front retorted, "Who told you to be so short? If you were as tall as Mu Tiezhu, we could stand on stools and still not block your view."
Laughter erupted all around.
As soon as Liang Liang stepped off the stage, Lanzhi and Cuihua surrounded him.
"Liang Liang! When you sing, you're really... really..." The two good-for-nothings couldn't find the words.
"So cool and awesome, right?"
"Yes, yes! That's exactly what I mean."
Mu Shuihua walked over at this moment: "Go away! Wait until the performance is over before you get aroused. Go get ready, the next two to perform will be you."
Lanzhi and Cuihua went to prepare, laughing and joking.
Mu Shuihua handed Liang Liang a bottle of water.
"Xiao Liang! Is your throat feeling uncomfortable?"
It's certain that Liang Liang will be the backbone of their song and dance troupe in the coming months, so of course we need to keep an eye on him.
"I don't feel any discomfort."
There was nothing wrong with singing two songs. In his previous life, although his band hadn't made a name for themselves, they had participated in some performances and sang more than a dozen songs in a row many times, and he never had any discomfort in his throat.
"That's good! I was worried that you would strain your voice by singing such high notes. You should prepare some songs that are less difficult in the future, instead of always singing such high notes."
"Thank you for your kindness, boss lady!"
Next, Liang Liang began to learn about life in the song and dance troupe.
Since he was new to the troupe, he didn't know how to help with other matters, so he was quite free for the rest of the evening.
The performance lasted until after 10 p.m.
After the event ended, Liang Liang said goodbye to Mu Shuihua and then took his parents home.
Starting tonight, he will no longer live at home. He will be traveling with the dance troupe to the next performance venue to stay overnight, beginning his life of wandering the world.
