The people in the motorcade had only one unique skill, and that was singing red songs.
However, in this era, singing revolutionary songs has almost become a necessary skill for people, so the leaders decided that all staff only need to sing one song at the time, and each department must perform a new program.
Upon hearing the news, Li Xu and others hurriedly gathered together to discuss it.
But after a long discussion without any result, Master Song finally became anxious and said, "Old Duan, how about you perform a suona performance?"
Master Duan's face changed, and he said unhappily, "Come on, forget it. I only know half a song, and it's the kind used for mourning. If I perform this, I will be scolded to death."
The purpose of the performance is to celebrate. If he plays funeral music, how can everyone celebrate?
Liu Gang quickly followed up, "How about you learn a more festive song? Even for a wedding."
"Yes, you should learn something more festive." Everyone echoed.
Although it may not be so appropriate, it is much better than not performing at all, right?
"What are you thinking? Do you think learning a song is that easy? Besides, don't just focus on me. Lao Qi can also play the drums."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Master Qi shuddered unconsciously and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I was just playing it casually. I don't even know what song I was playing. How can I perform on stage?"
The drum was passed down from his ancestors, but no one in his generation knew how to use it.
When he's bored, he'll just knock a few times for fun, without any pattern at all. If he were to perform this on stage, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
Li Xu pondered for a moment, "Maybe it's possible, as long as it makes people excited."
Except for Master Qi, everyone else's eyes lit up, "Xiao Li, have you come up with a solution?"
Li Xu chuckled, "As long as we hit the drum harder and make the beats tighter, it should be almost done."
The others looked at each other, feeling that this was a bit unreliable, and asked, "Will this work?"
"Unless you have a better show to perform." Li Xu spread his hands.
As long as everyone is excited about what they are listening to, who cares about the rules?
After pondering for a moment, Liu Gang asked, "Lao Qi, what do you think of this idea?"
"Not very good." Master Qi shook his head like a rattle and answered without hesitation, "Whoever falls in love can do it, anyway, I won't do it."
"Are you afraid of being embarrassed, or do you think this idea is unreliable?"
“Both.”
Li Xu and the others were speechless. "Then what do you say we should do?"
"Think about it again and see if you can come up with a better program."
Master Wang laughed immediately and said, "I think what Xiao Li said is the most reliable."
"Lao Qi, you have seen it all. So many of the programs we thought of just now are really not up to standard. We can't really let Lao Duan perform the suona, right?" Master Song persuaded earnestly.
Then Liu Gang and others began to persuade him, but Master Qi remained unmoved.
Finally, Li Xu had no choice but to sell out his teammates, "Master Qi, since you don't want to go on stage, then find someone else to go up."
"Huh?" Master Qi was stunned. "Who should I ask to go up there? Who would want to go up there for such an embarrassing event?"
"Don't you still have an apprentice?"
"Yes, I still have an apprentice." Master Qi instantly became energetic and agreed without waiting for others to persuade him. "Then it's settled. Let Xiao Jianping perform on stage."
At this time, Master Song said, "Lao Qi, why don't you go back and get the drum so that he can get familiar with it first."
The performance was going to be in the afternoon, so the drums would have to be brought sooner or later, so Master Qi agreed without thinking.
Just like that, after a while, the sound of drums came from the motorcade.
The supply and marketing cooperative closed to the public at five o'clock in the afternoon that day.
After everyone gathered together, the director first went on stage to give a speech, then led everyone in singing a red song, and finally began the performance.
The first two people to come on stage were two middle-aged women, and they shocked everyone as soon as they opened their mouths.
"It is not easy for me to rule the country."
"Relying on the civil and military officials~"
Good job.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
This is the Henan Opera "Da Jinzhi".
And she sang very well. After just two lines, the audience started applauding, and everyone seemed extremely excited.
Liu Gang whispered, "If everyone is this good, I think our team will be at the bottom."
"It's okay to be at the bottom. It's good enough that someone can go on stage."
After saying this, Master Song shouted hello again.
The others didn't even bother to answer, their eyes fixed on the two people on the stage.
It’s no wonder that a small supply and marketing cooperative can be said to be full of hidden talents.
After the two men left the stage, some people started telling stories, some performed acrobatics, and some recited the contents of the "Little Red Book".
Finally, it was Xiao Jianping's turn to perform.
He took a deep breath, then swung his two drumsticks and hit the drum head quickly.
For a while, the dull sound of drums was heard continuously, which made everyone excited and applauded to express their praise.
Xiao Jianping became more and more excited as he knocked, and even closed his eyes.
Only when a sound different from the previous one appeared did he stop, open his eyes, and stare blankly at the drumhead.
Li Xu was shocked. "It's over. Could something have happened?"
At this time, someone in the audience shouted, "Why did you stop? Keep going."
Xiao Jianping looked up and replied awkwardly, "I'm done with my performance, Lao Su, come up and take the drum down."
Su Weidong and another apprentice hurriedly went up to lift the drum, but as if they saw something, they both opened their mouths wide and stared at the drum surface motionlessly.
This actually piqued the interest of the audience. A few people rushed up from the front of the stage. After seeing the condition of the drum, they were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter at the same time. "Haha, this kid actually broke the drum."
As soon as these words were spoken, more people rushed forward, and the rest of the people stretched their necks to look at the stage, laughing non-stop.
"I was wondering why it stopped suddenly. Turns out the drum broke!"
"This is a huge disgrace to the motorcade."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If they hear you, they might beat you up."
Hearing these words, Li Xu and others' faces instantly turned gloomy.
Then everyone stood up and walked towards the stage, and if they saw someone blocking their way, they would push them aside.
Perhaps worried that the motorcade might take action, the director quickly rushed to the stage and shouted, "Everyone watching, please return to your seats. Let the motorcade take the drum down and prepare for the next performance."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the spectators on the stage came down.
After all, they all knew that the people in the car team must be in a bad mood at the moment, so it was better not to bring bad luck upon themselves.
