130. The Contradiction of Singing
After the party was over, Wu Ying was so happy that she couldn't stop talking about her, saying hello to anyone she saw.
The community director has notified her to speed up rehearsals and prepare to participate in the district-wide performance.
This time it was a big lottery.
It’s a big deal to represent the community in the district to participate in the performances. I’m not afraid that Lao Cheng will not cooperate with his neck. Not only should he cooperate in his spare time, but he also has to take leave to come back for rehearsal!
The old Zhao and his wife were in trouble and went home with a stomach full of anger.
Sitting at home, Aunt Zhao muttered.
"This Wu Ying is really not a thing! No wonder she didn't have to be with us. It turned out that he had secretly kicked us, organized a team by himself, and pretended to be angry and said that we were bullying her. Isn't this arguing?
Lao Cheng is the same. Even though he knows that his wife is wrong, he will help him anger us at critical moments! He has never sang a show before? It turns out that he still can't show it! Isn't this intention to get along with us? You are still comrades-in-arms and good friends with him. In the future, please stop interacting with their family."
Old Zhao was also annoyed and said to his wife: "Can you say less? If you don't interact with them, don't we Shihao still want to marry Xiaoxiao?"
"Just like the couple who don't understand the truth, Xiaoxiao is not much better! I heard a while ago that Xiaoxiao has found a wealthy man who is much older than her, and she is also a jealous thing! I think, it's better for this in-laws!"
"Look at you," Lao Zhao said unhappyly, "There was no conflict a while ago. You said all day long that Xiaoxiao was the one you grew up watching, with a handsome appearance, a good temper, and a calm and honest person. Why is it that even Xiaoxiao is not a good person after a while?"
Zhao Shihao also advised: "That's right, mom, just sing opera, it's worth it! I'll go to Uncle Cheng tomorrow and talk to him, let him have a drink with my dad, and this little thing will be over."
"Don't go!" Aunt Zhao glared, then frowned and asked Lao Zhao, "Hey, you say, who is the one who sang Diao Deyi? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Lao Zhao also frowned. This young man sang well. If there were old scholars singing so well in this film, he should have known him. But he didn't know him either.
Zhao Shihao didn't know Zhou Dalin either. He thought about it and said, "This person is definitely not from ours. I have never seen him."
Aunt Zhao said, "Stop being the eldest son-in-law Cheng Xiao is looking for?"
Lao Zhao waved his hand and said, "Absolutely impossible. Lao Cheng almost hit Xiaoxiao because he was disobedient and almost hit Xiaoxiao. How could he play on stage with that person?"
Zhao Shihao also said: "No. Uncle Cheng said that the man was from the provincial capital. He just let Xiaoxiao be his old daughter for the rest of his life. Xiaoxiao is not allowed to marry him!"
Aunt Zhao didn't believe it very much, frowned and said, "I have seen this family today, and there is no one who has the truth in his mouth. I have to inquire about who the singer Diao Deyi is!"
Aunt Zhao wanted to inquire about Zhou Dalin, but it was not that easy. Apart from contacting Lao Cheng and his family, Zhou Dalin did not appear in the community at all. Shenlong was not in the end, so there was no one in the community who knew him. Where could she go to inquire?
However, Lao Cheng and Lao Zhao are not as petty as their respective wives. After this matter, the two of them will do whatever they should do, and they will not affect their friendship. If Zhao Shihao has something to do or not, he will still come to Lao Cheng's house to visit. In addition to Wu Ying's attitude obviously getting cold to him and Cheng Xiao ignored him, Lao Cheng was still enthusiastic about him as always.
Zhou Dalin, who used opera singing to create a process, and the Zhao family was in conflict, which defeated Zhao Shihao's idea of chasing Cheng Xiao, and could only be said to be half successful.
But then, the sequelae of this damage trick began to appear.
When performing in the district, it is different from performing in the community auditorium. The performance is arranged in the Municipal Cinema Theater, which is a big place. At that time, the Municipal TV station and District TV station will have to record live videos and broadcast on TV news.
With such a big scene, the quality of the program needs to be improved, and Lao Cheng can't do it if he lip-syncs.
But Lao Cheng had no sense of music at all and was always not on the tune. It was difficult to teach this landlady to stay on the shelf.
Lao Cheng was not in tune with the instructions, but Wu Ying taught him, but he was not convinced. Only Zhou Dalin coaxed him in a coaxing and deceitful manner. He could sing a few words and cooperate for a few moments. The task of this teaching Lao Cheng put on the shelves fell on Zhou Dalin without hesitation.
Zhou Dalin originally wanted to go back to the provincial capital to see his parents, but now he doesn’t have to go anywhere. Let’s play with his future father-in-law. In the morning, his father-in-law trained him to run and climb mountains, and in the evening, he trained his father-in-law to sing operas.
I teach you one sentence at a time, one word at a time. At least I teach you the previous sentence, and I have some meaning in the tune. I will teach you the next sentence. I have almost finished learning the next sentence, but I forgot how to sing the previous sentence. It is not twice as difficult as Lao Cheng’s training him to run and climb mountains!
Cheng Xue doesn’t know how to learn, but he doesn’t say he’s stupid, but he also blames Zhou Dalin for not teaching well. I teach you running and climbing mountains, how can you make progress so fast? It’s because I know how to teach and teach well. If you teach me to sing opera, why can’t you teach me? That’s because you can’t teach me. You are not qualified as a coach!
Zhou Dalin was convinced directly.
"I tell you Uncle Cheng, this time we are going to the theater and performing seriously. It's not like being in the community auditorium, even if we sing and sing, only people in these communities know. This is to be listed on the TV station, and people in the city are watching. If you sing and sing on the stage, the whole Linshui will watch you make a fool of yourself! At that time, you will become famous and people will recognize you wherever you go. This is the one who sings and sings in the theater! By then, your face will be too big!"
Lao Cheng thought about it, this problem was really serious, and he didn't dare to take it lightly. He practiced during the day and at night, and even sang in his sleep when he was sleeping.
In the world, I am afraid of being serious in everything. Old Cheng became serious and just like in the army, he was completed as a military mission.
Practice makes perfect. Lao Cheng practiced like this for a month and it was really successful. He basically met the standards.
The theater performance was very successful, and Lao Cheng was really popular. Everyone who saw him praised him for his both civil and military skills, which was impressive. He was so proud that he hummed and sang lyrics when he walked.
Zhou Dalin forgot that Old Cheng became popular, and he became popular too. Not only Cheng Xiao’s original master, but the lobby manager recognized him. This is the wealthy man who went to the bank to look for Cheng Xiao and publicly embraced Cheng Xiao in the service hall! It turned out that he had already made up with Old Cheng’s family. It seems that Cheng Xiao’s marriage to the wealthy man was a foregone conclusion.
Zhou Dalin lived in Linshui for eight years and many people knew him. This time, Aunt Zhao asked several questions and finally knew who Diao Deyi was. After getting the exact news, she told Lao Zhao when she got home.
"Are you still thinking about letting Cheng Xiao be your daughter-in-law? Dreaming about you! Do you know who Diao Deyi is? That is the rich son-in-law Cheng Xiao is looking for! Old Cheng has been performing on the same stage with him, what does this mean? It means that Old Cheng has long recognized this son-in-law, and you are still here to make your dream of spring and autumn, and you don't even know that Lao Cheng plays with you!"
This time, Lao Zhao was really anxious.
Hey, Lao Cheng, you are so damn bad. It would be fine if you help your wife get angry with us, but how could you still fool us? You have recognized that rich son-in-law and urged my son to chase your daughter. Are you not playing tricks on us?
"No, I have to ask him to theory!"
Lao Zhao is also popular.
"People are playing with you as a monkey, why are you still arguing about it? If it weren't for Lao Cheng's support, could Wu Ying treat us like that? The dramas are almost done, and we will not act any more. It's fine to let us go. The key is that her purpose is too bad, just to make us unable to sing, so she can lead the man and son-in-law to sing that battle of wisdom together!
Look at Lao Cheng again. It’s obviously his wife’s wrong, but he still stands up to his wife to perform on stage. He doesn’t take us seriously at all! Look at it now, he clearly recognizes that rich son-in-law and coaxes our Shihao to chase his daughter. This is not just playing with us, but it’s just disgusting us!”
This time, Lao Zhao heard his wife's words and was so angry that he was breathing heavily on the sofa, unable to say a word.
The next afternoon, Lao Cheng came home from get off work and was on the north and south road to the east. He happened to meet Lao Zhao coming from the front. He said hello and said, "Lao Zhao, what are you doing?"
Old Zhao had a dark face, snorted at him, and walked over, making him confused.
Who is this guy angry with? Why don’t he ignore me?
He was still shouting behind Lao Zhao: "Hey, Lao Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
Old Zhao left without looking back and even accelerated his pace.
Old Cheng was a little depressed. Old Zhao was still unhappy about the opera. Is it worth it? Why is he getting old and getting smaller and smaller?
Lao Zhao ignored him, and he felt unhappy and went home to tell Wu Ying. Wu Ying beat Lao Zhao and his wife in the opera, and it was not a small victory or a big victory. She sang to the district. She exclaimed that in her heart, so she didn't plan to argue with the couple.
Lao Cheng went home and told her that Lao Zhao ignored him, and Wu Ying's anger came back again.
"He ignores you, you have to pay attention to him? With the couple together bullying me, they still have any reason? Don't pay attention to him in the future!"
From then on, these two families have become enemies and will no longer interact.
Lao Cheng felt uneasy. He and Lao Zhao have been friends for many years and have been in the same army. After so many years of friendship, it is inexplicable that such a thing as a performer has ended!
But soon after, he understood why Lao Zhao had such a big opinion of him.
As the New Year holiday was about to be on duty, the day before, Lao Cheng had to arrange his security guards to be on duty. He was in the office, convened a squad leader meeting, arranged the order of duty during the holiday, talked about key inspection locations, and the procedures for random inspections.
After he finished talking, the deputy manager added a few more words, and then everyone went home.
Before the deputy manager came out of his office, he said to him: "Manager Cheng, I'll give you a good wish for you in advance. I'll leave for a while and go buy some New Year's goods."
Lao Cheng teased him and said, "Did you buy it for your mother-in-law's house?"
The deputy manager was young, and he was less than thirty. He smiled and said, "It's okay not to coax my wife well, otherwise I'll be uneasy." He also said casually, "You have Maotai this year, right?"
Chapter completed!
