December 30, 1996.
Feng Haidong brought his whole family, including his parents, parents-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law. The only ones who didn't come were his older brother and younger brother who were still at work, and his older sister and second sister.
Even Feng Haidong's sister-in-law and brother-in-law, as well as his sister and brother-in-law, came with their children.
Everyone came to the city's grand theater to watch the performance that the TV station had carefully prepared for New Year's Day.
Of course, the reason so many people were together was to watch Feng Qifan perform on stage.
The performances proceeded one by one.
Finally, it was time for Feng Qifan and his group to take the stage.
Mr. Hu, Feng Qifan's violin teacher, led Feng Qifan and the children onto the stage.
After the host went on stage to introduce the program,
Teacher Hu led the children in bowing to the scene and the camera.
Then, the children stood in their respective places.
Feng Qifan was the one who stood out from the crowd because he was the lead violinist for tonight's performance and also the performer of a solo section in the middle.
Upon seeing Feng Qifan standing on the stage, his relatives and friends in the audience immediately burst into laughter.
Aunt Lu Wanhong exclaimed first, "Wow, our Fanfan is so handsome! He looks just like a star on stage!"
Lu Yaobin, the brother-in-law, continued, "He is indeed very handsome, no wonder he is my nephew."
Lu Yue, nestled in her father's arms, asked, "Dad, why isn't Brother Fanfan standing with everyone else?"
Lu Yaobin explained with a smile, "Because your brother Fanfan is their leader, he has to stand out on his own, just like the lead singer of a choir."
Lu Yue exclaimed, "Wow, Brother Fanfan is so amazing!"
Lu Yaobin said, "Yes, Fanfan is very capable. Yueyue should learn more from Fanfan in the future."
Feng Qifan's aunt, Chen Cuiping, also said, "Fanfan is really becoming more and more outstanding."
Then Chen Cuiping turned to her daughter Lu Shiyi and said, "You should also learn a lot from your brother."
Lu Shiyi stared at the stage and couldn't help but mutter, "But I can't play the violin, Mom, why don't you send me to learn the violin?"
Hearing her daughter's words, Chen Cuiping said, "You still blame your mother? When you were little, your father and I asked you what you wanted to learn, and you said you wanted to learn to draw."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi suddenly realized, "Oh right, I can draw."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yue immediately said, "Sister, you can draw, and Brother Fanfan can play the violin, but I can't do either. I want to learn them in the future..."
At this point, Lu Yue hesitated, unsure of what she should learn: "But what should I learn?"
Lu Shiyi said, "You can learn to dance, and then your brother can play the violin while you dance."
Lu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Sister is right, I can learn to dance."
Then Lu Yue turned to Feng Haidong next to her and asked, "Uncle, can I learn to dance?"
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Okay, if Yueyue wants to learn to dance, then next year your uncle will find you a good dance teacher to teach Yueyue to dance."
When Lu Yaobin saw his daughter actually asking his brother-in-law, he was both amused and exasperated, asking, "Yueyue, why don't you ask your father? Why don't you ask your uncle instead?"
Lu Yue turned to look at her father and said, "Dad, you don't understand."
These words immediately amused everyone around.
Zhou Xiaoxiao, who came with them, laughed and said, "Look, your daughter said you don't understand. You never take good care of your daughter, and now she's not close to you anymore."
At this moment, Lin Guojin also said, "Yes, you should also take better care of Yueyue in the future, instead of always leaving her with your older sister and brother-in-law."
Lu Yaobin said helplessly, "Isn't it because the company is busy? Now that it's the end of the year, I'm even busier."
Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong took the opportunity to remind his brother-in-law: "Don't forget to collect the debts. You need to get back all the money owed to you before."
Lu Yaobin said, "I know, I know, it's just that some units aren't very generous with their money. They're all friends, so I..."
Before he could finish, Feng Haidong immediately interrupted him: "Don't think like that. You're wrong to think like that. Doing business is doing business. You have to get back the money that's owed you. Otherwise, how will you pay your employees for the New Year?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity to say, "Yes, yes, brother-in-law is right."
Feng Haidong concluded, "Alright, I won't say any more today. Anyway, we must start collecting debts next month."
At this moment, the performance on stage has already begun, and everyone stops talking and listens quietly to the performance.
On stage, a group of children were playing a very festive piece of music.
This is a violin ensemble piece that Teacher Hu arranged together with the teachers of the art troupe for today's performance.
Especially noteworthy is a violin solo by Feng Qifan.
Feng Qifan remained very calm and composed. Although it was his first time performing under such a camera, he still performed with ease and appeared to be very experienced and seasoned on stage.
At Mr. Hu's suggestion, they even performed an impromptu piece, which brought the atmosphere to a climax.
After the performance, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Perhaps not everyone at the event understands violin playing, but everyone can still tell whether the music is good or not.
Feng Qifan and the group of children on stage performed a very serious ensemble piece on such a stage. It was a very festive piece to celebrate New Year's Day, and it really made everyone in the audience feel the joy.
The children who came to watch also applauded Feng Qifan.
Amid applause, Feng Qifan and the others bowed in thanks.
Seeing Feng Qifan leave the stage, Lu Yue immediately said, "Dad, let's go quickly. Brother Fanfan and the others have finished performing. Let's go pick up Brother Fanfan."
Lu Yaobin was both amused and exasperated by his daughter's words: "Can you please not be in such a hurry? Fanfan's performance has ended, but today's show isn't over yet. We have to wait until everyone else has finished performing before we can leave."
Lu Yue asked curiously, "Aren't we going to pick up Brother Fanfan?"
Feng Haidong said from the side, "No need to rush, your brother Fanfan will have to wait a while. After the whole performance, brother Fanfan will go on stage with the others and give us another curtain call."
Upon hearing her uncle's words, Lu Yue immediately became obedient.
Feng Haidong and the others watched the entire performance together.
Seeing all the performers come back on stage at the end, and city leaders also come up to shake hands and take photos, I was deeply moved.
Because Feng Qifan and his nephews were children, they were able to squat at the very front of the stage for the final group photo. Lu Yaobin also took out his borrowed camera and took a picture of his nephew.
After the performance, the whole family left together, and they were still very happy as they walked out of the theater.
After Feng Haidong brought his son out, they reunited.
The whole family gave Feng Qifan a thumbs up and almost shouted in unison, "Feng Qifan is great!"
