091: The aunties danced so well
As the host, Jia Song first gave an opening speech and said some high-sounding words.
Then the meeting officially began, and Jia Song introduced it in a sonorous and powerful broadcast voice:
"Now, please welcome our Eighth Company's Yangko Troupe to perform a revolutionary Yangko for our comrades. Everyone, please welcome!"
“Clatter—”
Applause.
The people in the audience applauded and cheered, and stretched their necks to look towards the office, unable to wait to see the yangko dance.
Wu Yanping, sitting in the crowd, hadn't expected such enthusiastic reactions. His heart suddenly sank. "How could anyone actually enjoy watching something as cheesy as the yangge dance?"
Soon, the loudspeaker above the office blared.
Then, the office door opened, and five women with red ribbons around their waists and red makeup on their faces ran out in small steps.
As soon as the five people appeared, the audience burst into laughter again:
“Hahahahahaha——”
Even Yu Jiahui, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Ying's face painted like a big tabby cat.
In this era, let alone a group of women, even those young and beautiful girls hardly wear makeup. So when a group of people see the women they see every day, all dressed up in red and looking festive, just like the fat dolls in the New Year pictures, they all find it funny.
The five women were a little nervous when they went on stage, but when they heard how happy the audience was, they were no longer nervous. Following the music from the loud speakers above their heads, they began to dance with the red silk cloth in their hands. They lined up in a row, moving forward, back, left, and right, and twisted their hands rhythmically.
When Yu Xiaoye was choreographing, he also added new elements to the yangge, making it look more exciting.
The formation changes at any time, but the dance movements are uniform and not chaotic at all.
The red ribbons in the women's hands and the two flowery fans in Sai Jinhua's hands dazzled the dancers, and the people in the audience couldn't take their eyes off them.
After twisting her body on the stage, Sai Jinhua led the team to circle around the venue, interacting with the people in the audience as she did so.
The audience in the audience stood up one by one, clapping and chatting with the women of the yangko team.
The children followed their mothers closely, grabbing the corners of their mothers' clothes, as if to say to others:
Look, this is my mom! My mom dances so well!
Even Widow Wang’s children were a little nervous at first, worried that others would laugh at their mother, but now seeing how much everyone likes their mother and others’ performance, they feel very proud!
The atmosphere on the scene was unprecedentedly warm.
Yu Xiaoye stayed in the office and looked out nervously. She found that the performance was better than she had expected, and she finally felt relieved.
The aunties in the yangko team are awesome!
However, there are also people who are indifferent to this program, or even very opposed to it. That person is Wu Yanping.
Wu Yanping was sitting in the front row. Just by feeling the warm atmosphere around him, he felt cold sweat all over his body and his head was buzzing.
How is this possible?
How could they possibly like watching such a tacky yangko dance?
Wu Yanping felt like she was short of breath and about to faint. Just at this moment, Rao Li, who was sitting in the back row and had just fought with her a few days ago, cheered her on desperately:
"Good! Good! The aunties danced so beautifully!"
Wu Yanping saw stars.
Zhong Qi and Bai Nannan beside him were also attracted by the yangko team and didn't care how ugly Wu Yanping's face was.
Wu Yanping finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and staggered away.
Zhong Qi and Bai Nannan didn't know when Wu Yanping left.
The first show is over.
The aunties from the yangko team danced all the way back to the office.
As soon as he entered the office, the aunties were all panting and still wanting more. Yu Xiaoye rushed over to congratulate them:
"Mom, Auntie, you guys are so good at dancing!"
The five aunts excitedly hugged Yu Xiaoye, all of them were grateful and happy:
"Little wild girl, thanks to you, we sisters are able to have such a great time today. We haven't had this much fun dancing in years. It's so refreshing!"
"Look at those gentlemen staring at us—"
"It's not just the old men, aren't those young people staring at us too?"
"Because the aunties are so pretty today, and they dance so beautifully!"
"Hahaha, our Xiao Ye is still the sweetest one!"
They hugged and touched Yu Xiaoye one by one, almost kneading him into a pancake.
Outside, Jia Song gave another speech. The content of the speech was nothing more than that the form was great, this was good, that was good, and everyone was good!
Life is getting better and better and people are getting richer and richer.
Anyway, just squint your eyes and brag blindly, it's all a routine.
After that, he announced the start of the second show:
"Next, please welcome Yu Xiaoye, the daughter of a farmer and worker from our Eighth Company, to the stage to perform a quick-paced piece for us. Please give her a round of applause!"
Yu Xiaoye had already been standing inside the door, holding a clapper and ready.
After Jia Song finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out with a smile.
Another round of applause.
People were not interested in the clichéd speeches, but were looking forward to the performances. Especially after watching the yangge dance, they found that this year's Labor Day performance was quite interesting and different from previous years, so they were looking forward to it even more.
Seeing Yu Xiaoye’s small stature, two pigtails, and a row of neat, glutinous teeth, she looked adorable.
When Yu Jiahui saw his daughter, he stood up and led the applause, regardless of the bandage on his arm, like a number one fan who was livening up the atmosphere.
Yu Xiaoye waited until the applause died down, then bowed to everyone with dignity and said in a clear voice:
"Now I will bring you a Labor Day Allegro—"
She practiced the allegro with both hands skillfully, producing a crackling, crisp and clear rhythm.
His movements were skillful, his body relaxed, and his words clear, making him look like an experienced artist:
Clang, clang, clang,
Don't gossip.
Table 1, Captain Yang, the most hardworking captain of the Eighth Company,
Captain Yang, how is it?
Get up at five in the morning, sleep at midnight, work in the wind, work in the rain,
A great role model for men, women, young and old!
Clang, clang, clang,
When people are happy, they are in high spirits.
Celebrating May Day,
Let's talk about labor.
We farmers and workers are busy all day long, building the country's granary.
Willing to contribute, the Great Northern Wilderness is no longer barren.
Thousands of miles of fertile fields, growing crops————
Yu Xiaoye performed a full fifteen minutes of allegro, with hundreds of lines, without any lag or forgetfulness, and the whole process was smooth and fluid!
The whole audience was stunned.
When she finished her clappers and bowed in thanks, there was a moment of silence in the room, and no one had recovered from their shock.
After a moment, there was a burst of warm applause.
The applause lasted for a long time.
Captain Yang, who had just been cueed in the quick-paced performance, laughed so hard that his beard flew up.
If the yangko dance just now was purely for setting the mood, then her clapper talk showed her real skill.
It's impossible to do it without some basic knowledge.
