"May you be happy and prosperous!"
With Liang Liang's final shout, the performance of "Wishing You Prosperity" came to an end.
"Today is the opening day of the Oriental Dance Hall. Last year, under the wise leadership of General Manager Ms. Qin Wenju, the Oriental Dance Hall ushered in a year of celebration. This year, under the leadership of General Manager Qin Wenju, the Oriental Dance Hall will surely usher in another glorious year. Our Gaobao Gushan Township United Farmers Band sincerely wishes the Oriental Dance Hall a prosperous business and abundant wealth in the new year. The following song, 'Harvest,' is dedicated to all the staff of the Oriental Dance Hall. We wish the Oriental Dance Hall another bountiful year in 1994."
Qin Wenju was overjoyed to hear this.
In particular, Liang Liang's statement about "under the wise leadership of General Manager Qin Wenju" hit her sweet spot.
My lover is quite eloquent.
As soon as Liang Liang finished speaking, gongs and drums began to sound around him.
Accompanied by the suona, pipa, and guitar, the gongs and drums performed a cheerful melody that lasted for a full minute, with the sound of "dong dong qi dong qiang, dong dong qi dong qi dong qiang".
They came and went in the streets and alleys.
The gongs and drums started beating
Men, women, young and old, come on!
Wu'er danced
Brothers and sisters, come on over!
Let's sing a song
Seven Long Dongqiang Dongqiang
Have a good year
Seven Long Dongqiang Dongqiang
What's drunk is fine wine.
…
The melody is cheerful and uplifting, and the beautiful tune, coupled with Liang Liang's loud singing, gives people a feeling of excitement and a surge of passion.
Seven Long Dongqiang Dongqiang
We held hands
bring it on!
Harvest, great harvest!
We are willing to give him everything.
Harvest, great harvest!
We wish that he will stay with us year after year.
After the first verse was sung, the joyful suona began an uplifting solo.
It's no exaggeration to say that the suona is the rogue of musical instruments.
When the suona is played, all the gods retreat; who can rival it!
The joyful suona music, when cheerful, is like colorful butterflies dancing; when high-pitched, it's like lightning flashing, or a wild goose soaring through the clouds; its clear notes cascade down the mountain stream, plunging into the ravine...
The onlookers listened with rapt attention.
They never imagined that the suona could produce such beautiful sounds, as if a river flowed within the suona's small brass skirt, a majestic mountain stood tall, and a flock of wild geese flew across the blue sky...
As the suona solo was nearing its end, Xu Mei, dressed in red, joined in with an electric guitar, and she even showed off a couple of fancy moves.
Liang Liang looked at this and felt exhausted. It was true that good things are hard to learn, but random things are easy to learn. He had accidentally discovered these two tricks, and she actually remembered them!
As soon as Xu Mei made those two moves, whistles rose and fell all around, like the croaking of frogs in summer.
There's no way around it; she's naturally beautiful, with a great figure and looks. If she adds a touch of coolness, it would be strange if the audience's hormones didn't swell up.
After the suona solo, Liang Liang sang the song again, and then the New Year's greeting ceremony ended amidst enthusiastic applause and cheers.
As soon as Liang Liang stepped off the makeshift stage, people were already making arrangements for the New Year's greeting performance.
Three hundred and eighty yuan is not a small amount, but every business owner hopes for good luck during the Chinese New Year. The farmers' band's performance was cheerful and festive, and the lineup of performers was also reasonable, with beautiful women and handsome men making people feel happy.
Several shop owners wanted the peasant band to visit their shops to offer New Year's greetings.
Qin Wenju also sent someone to help them make arrangements.
Even when we offer New Year's greetings, we have to wait until they've finished setting off their firecrackers; there's still some time to go.
I took this opportunity to chat with Qin Wenju for a few minutes.
"Wow! You're really something, you can always create surprises wherever you go."
"So-so, third in the country!"
Just as they finished speaking, Wang Fan and Gong Xihai walked out of the Oriental Dance Hall.
"Wang Fan! Gong Xihai is your apprentice? Really?"
"Who asked him to be an apprentice? He insists on calling me master, do you think I can just cover his mouth and stop him from talking?"
"Alright! Let's not discuss the master-disciple issue. Let's discuss how you had the nerve to leave my house while I wasn't home?"
"So Gong Xihai and Xie Dejun hired a taxi to pick me up from your house. We can't just let the taxi wait there for nothing, since you might not be back for a while, so I had to leave."
"So why are Gong Xihai and Xie Dejun in such a hurry to find you? To introduce you to potential partners?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Liang asked this offhand question, and Wang Fan burst out laughing.
His smile confused Liang Liang: "Ah! You're really introducing me to someone!"
"It wasn't me! It was Gong Xihai! Someone introduced him to a girl, and he insisted on dragging me along to see her and ask me for advice!"
What's going on here?
Gong Xihai wants Wang Fan to be his advisor when he's looking for a partner; these two are practically inseparable.
Isn't this utter nonsense? There seem to be a lot of bizarre things happening this year.
"So, what valuable suggestions did you offer?"
"I haven't watched it yet! I'll watch it this afternoon!"
"This afternoon?"
Wang Fan and Gong Xihai nodded at the same time.
Liang Liang could only express her frustration with a mixture of laughter and tears.
"Xiao Liang! You're usually very opinionated. Can you give me some advice? My friends and relatives all say I look older than I am. What clothes do you think I should wear to make me look younger?"
What clothes should I wear to look younger?
Gong Xihai nodded: "Yes, yes! That's exactly what I mean!"
"Then I suggest you wear open-crotch pants, they'll make you look smaller!"
Qin Wenju turned her head away in a flash, her curvaceous body trembling uncontrollably.
Wang Fan and Xie Dejun were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.
Gong Xihai wore a wry smile.
This guy only went to see his girlfriend on the afternoon of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. He ran to her house on the sixth day and called Wang Fan away. Liang Liang doesn't want him to wear open-crotch pants, she just wants to keep him in the sight of him!
It's simply impossible for Gong Xihai to go see his girlfriend wearing open-crotch pants, so Liang Liang's suggestion is just a joke.
Around 9 o'clock, the sound of firecrackers began to ring out on Huanghai Street, one after another, until about 9:30, when the sound of firecrackers finally subsided.
The streets were filled with white smoke, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder.
These factors did not prevent the farmers' band from moving their equipment from the Oriental Dance Hall to the entrance of a shop selling Tencent Qicai (a popular online gaming platform).
This pager shop is their first customer outside the Oriental Song and Dance Hall today, and they're going to perform there.
The performance, consisting of two songs and a few New Year's greetings, lasted fifteen minutes.
Then the boss pays, and the band immediately moves their equipment to the next place.
Around 10:30, four more performances were staged.
Time is running out; if time allowed, they could have performed two more shows.
Four games would cost 1,520 yuan.
I can't take on any more tasks today, but I did take on a few jobs to prepare for tomorrow.
The eighth day was an auspicious day, and quite a few businesses opened on the ninth. Gao Xing weighed the time and only accepted four jobs, not daring to take on any more, for fear of not being able to finish the performance.
