Chapter 374 Farewell Chorus
The day before his departure, the Political Department organized a farewell party for Lu Shixu. To facilitate Qi Xu's attendance, some military families were invited to participate.
Under the enthusiastic encouragement of their comrades and wives, Qi Xu and Lu Shixu were both pushed onto the stage and asked to sing a duet.
Qi Xu asked. "Brother, do you sing well?"
"It's okay!" Lu Shixu thought he was pretty good, because every time he partied with his comrades, he would receive a wave of warm applause after singing.
Besides, he also wanted to show off his singing voice and outdo Lin Youqian. The people in the artillery team said that Pao Ye was a singing god, but who knows, it was probably just an exaggeration.
"Brother, what shall we sing?"
"Well, let me think about it!"
Being in the army, of course, singing military songs and revolutionary songs was the most appropriate. Lu Shixu thought for a long time and found a duet that was particularly appropriate for the situation.
"Then sing, 'My Motherland and I'! Can you sing it?"
Qi Xu is full of confidence.
"Of course I can do this!"
As the prelude sounded, both performers were in full swing, their emotions were full, and their passion was blooming, while the audience also clapped and beat the rhythm.
But when Qi Xu's voice rang out, everyone's expressions almost broke, and they forced themselves to smile, almost having the word "deadly" written on their faces.
Why does a girl who speaks so nicely sing so badly?
God is really fair. When he opens a window for you, he will close a door for you.
The voices of Xiao Pao's wife when she sings and when she talks are two completely different things. When she talks, she is in the fairyland, and when she sings, she is in the underworld.
After finally waiting for the male vocals, they thought they could cleanse their ears and block out the torturous sound. But unexpectedly, Lu Shixu's voice was even more explosive, a savage blow to the soul, piercing the listeners' eardrums, and everyone wished they were deaf.
But I can't even cover my ears, I have to force myself to smile and applaud. Oh my God, what a torture this is.
When others sang "My Motherland and I", they sang it in a majestic and prosperous way.
The chorus of the two of them, one is half dead and the other is a mad demon. The prosperity and beauty of the motherland have been ruined by them. It has directly regressed 100 years and returned to the pre-liberation era with one song.
Even if the two of them sang badly, there was still applause and cheers.
There was also a brave soldier who shouted out as usual.
"Great singing, another one!"
Aunt Fat slapped his stupid head hard.
"One more song, are you going to die?"
Qi Xu blinked his big watery eyes and asked in confusion.
"What's the matter, Auntie Fatty? Didn't we sing well?"
These two siblings, one is Colonel Lu and the other is Colonel Lin’s wife. Both of them are from wealthy families, rich, powerful and influential. Who would dare to offend them?
Aunt Pang forced a smile and said it against her conscience.
"You sang very well, very well, and it was so beautiful. I have never heard such a beautiful voice in my life."
The flattery he was doing was exactly the same as the ones those boys in school used to do.
Qi Xu asked sweetly with a bright smile.
"Really?"
Auntie Fatty affirmed forcefully, "It's true! It's even more true than the atomic bombing of Pearl Harbor!"
Amidst Auntie Pang's forced praise, Qi Xu completely lost himself and happily shouted at Lu Shixu.
"Brother, let's sing another song!"
"Okay!" Lu Shixu was even more excited than her.
Behind the scenes, Aunt Fat and the young soldier were subjected to a wave of silent curses and were almost shot to death by everyone's hateful eyes.
Qi Xu and Lu Shixu sang with passion and enthusiasm. Even though they were completely out of tune, they were still immersed in the song.
"Second brother, am I singing well?"
"Great! It's a perfect match for me!"
Lu Shixu is of the same kind as her, and she can be said to have found a soulmate.
Qi Xu said proudly.
"Growing up, my mom and my classmates all said I sang well. The only exception was that Lin Youqian who said my singing was terrible, like a saw pulling bones. That was all bullshit. It pissed me off!"
Everyone thought that Pao Ye was upright and outspoken, which was a perfect description.
Lu Shixu ordered another song to comfort her.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Lin Dapao doesn't like your singing, but Second Brother does. Today, Second Brother will sing with you to the end."
"Okay, I'll sing it to the end. I wish my second brother a bright future and good luck in his work!"
Now everyone is going to collapse.
These two really have no self-awareness at all. They only care about having their own fun and don't care about the lives of others at all!
There is a saying that goes, the worse a person sings, the more they love to sing. It is absolutely true.
Encouraged by everyone, Auntie Fatty bravely stood up again, mustered up her courage, and timidly raised her hand.
"Hey, Director Lu, Xiao Pao's wife, why don't you two take a break first and let me sing a song too."
Lu Shixu glanced over coldly, and Tian Youwei broke into a cold sweat for his wife.
"Director Lu, my wife is craving a song. Please take a break and let her sing a song!"
Lu Shixu threw the microphone to Tian Youwei, and the warning he conveyed was self-evident.
Despite the immense pressure, Auntie Pang sang "The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" with a resounding voice, giving everyone's ears a chance to breathe.
Just as everyone was about to applaud enthusiastically, Lu Shixu said something coldly.
"With this level of skill, you still dare to grab the microphone? Deputy Political Commissar Tian, your wife is quite brave."
"Having a loud voice is different from singing high notes. It's awful!"
Tian Youwei really had a lot of grievances. If the other party was not in a high position and he could not afford to offend him, he really wanted to smash the microphone.
No matter how bad my wife's singing is, it is still a hundred times better than your crocodile roar and wild boar howl.
You sing like a bear throwing a can, and you still have the nerve to say others sing badly. Is there any justice in this world?
After complaining a thousand times in his heart, Tian Youwei respectfully handed over the microphone.
"Yes, yes, Colonel Lu, you are right. You sing beautifully. Keep going!"
After the brave Aunt Fat was turned into cannon fodder, no one dared to touch the microphone anymore. They all sat in a neat row, enjoying the torture of the divine song, and then, against their conscience, gave warm applause after each song.
"Well sung, very good, very good!"
Bring these two crazy performers to the top of the world.
After a night of revelry, Lu Shixu and Qi Xu were completely excited and their voices were hoarse, and everyone's ears were almost broken.
After Lu Shixu left the military industry institute, everyone started complaining.
"Oh my god, it was terrifying! Who would have guessed? Director Lu and Xiao Pao's singing was more terrifying than an atomic bomb. I really, really regretted going to that farewell party. It almost cost me my life."
"Don't talk about you. Last night, when I heard Xiao Pao's wife and Colonel Lu singing, I almost saw my great-grandmother."
"If you miss your great-grandmother, ask them to go to your old grave and sing a verse. They might even be able to bring all your ancestors back to life!"
…
These words accidentally reached Qi Xu's ears.
She grabbed Ale and Axing and asked.
"Is my singing really that bad?"
