Chapter 10 Dinner Party
The venue of the evening dinner party was set in a nursing home in Lintong, 23 kilometers away from Xi'an, and it was held for the employees to take the opportunity of physical examination. In order to make this event lively and exciting, the park even mobilized family members to participate in the physical examination and celebration together. It's just that each family member has to pay 400 yuan for physical examination and 100 yuan for room and board.
Because it was a weekend, there were a lot of family members, and a 60-seater car and a 27-seat van were full. They drove out of Xi'an after getting off work on Friday afternoon. So, by the time we got to Lintong, it was already dark. As soon as he arrived at the sanatorium, Lin Hai helped Mr. Min in the office divide the room, and then followed Director Ding to the big dining room to decorate the venue. At this time, the nursing home has also sent people to set up the lights and sound. Moreover, the waiters in the restaurant have already set cold dishes and drinks on the ten large tables.
Because her sister Wang Yurong had to work overtime the next day, and her sister Wang Yuqing happened to be off duty, she came to participate in this event for her sister. Because she and Lin Hai sat next to each other during the ride, and kept talking intimately, Lin Hai seemed very happy. And Wang Yuqing is also very sensible, when Lin Hai gave everyone the keys and set up the venue, she always stood by the side to help him.
Once the venue was set up, everyone began to take their seats. Lin Hai naturally sat with Ding Yuan on the guest of honor, and Wang Yuqing sat next to him. After a brief speech by Director Ding, the dinner began. Everyone ate and drank and watched the show everyone performed. Lin Hai and Mr. Min served as the hosts of the party. Their cheerful and dramatic hosting keeps the people who perform the show and those watching the show interacting constantly, making the scene lively and interesting. On the table, there are chicken, duck and fish, a variety of stir-fried and cold dishes, as well as white wine, red wine, beer and orange juice. And the program has singing and dancing, sketches, allegro, recitation, as well as quizzes and lucky draws.
Lin Hai was obviously the center of the evening, and he would host the show, string words and introductions, and sometimes improvise a couple of sentences to set off the atmosphere. This made Wang Yuqing really feel why Ding Yuan said that Lin Hai was the treasure of their garden, and why teachers, students and parents liked him. She sat next to Chief Ding and listened to Chief Ding keep praising Lin Hai to her, while watching Lin Hai host the show intently.
At this time, Lin Hai suddenly reported the curtain and asked her to come out to drink a song. She has indeed prepared a song called "Hong Yan" and has been practicing for several days, but when she heard Lin Hai sing "In That Distant Place" just now, she felt that he sang so well, just like those professional singers on TV, so she felt as if she couldn't sing. However, everyone's applause was very warm, and she couldn't help but play. So, she went on stage, walked in front of Lin Hai, and said, "I can't sing well, you have to sing with me." ”
So, Lin Hai took her hand, and the two came to the stage together, and along with the music, she sang:
"Wild geese in the sky
Pairs are lined up
The river is long
Autumn grass yellow
The sound of the piano on the prairie is sad. ”
At this time, Lin Hai then sang:
"The wild goose to the south
Fly over the reeds
The sky is vast
Where are the geese going?
In my heart is the hometown of the north. ”
At this point, the two sang in chorus:
"Hongyan North returns
Take my thoughts with you
The singing is far away
The piano trembled
The prairie has a long affection"
His vocal range was wide and loud, and he was able to suppress her voice very lightly, but he kept it low, so low that it made her voice clearer and more prominent, and only when she was struggling to sing the high notes did he raise the volume a little, and when she had sung the high notes, he immediately lowered the volume. It made her feel like her voice was in the driver's seat all the time, and he was just singing along.
After singing a song, everyone applauded desperately to prevent them from leaving, so they had to sing another song to everyone. Lin Hai asked, "Which one do you want to sing?"
She asked him, "Is 'Love Song of the West Sea' okay?"
He said, "Okay, just sing "West Sea Love Song"" So, he said to Mr. Min, who hosted the show, ""West Sea Love Song". ”
"Love is like a kite with a broken string
I can't hold back the promise you made
I'm waiting
Warm spring at the top of the snow-capped mountains
Wait until the plateau
The lonely goose that returned after the snow melted"
She had never felt that she sang so well, so emotional, and she even felt that she was the most beautiful mezzone Zhuoma. By the time she finished singing this paragraph, tears were already glistening.
Lin Hai pulled her to the table, poured some red wine into her glass, and then, clinking glasses with her, said, "You sing so well and have talent." ”
She only knew that she loved singing, but never thought she had talent. However, girls don't like to hear people say such things. She looked a little coquettish, smiled at him with straight eyes, and said, "Without your help, I wouldn't have sung so well." ”
His eyes lit up at her, and he said, "You're not professionally trained, and it's good to be able to sing like this." ”
She said in a witty tone, "You're really talented." I won't dare to call you Aunt Xiao anymore. ”
He snorted at her and said, "A word?"
"Never break your word," she said. So saying, he raised his glass and clinked glasses with him.
After a while, the host came out with another show, asking a pair of lovers to dress up as a man and a woman to star in "Cinderella". Director Ding asked her and Lin Hai to star. She had never acted, and she didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I won't act." ”
However, Lin Hai didn't allow her to say anything, so he pulled her to the stage. At this time, there were already two female teachers who put props on her and Lin Hai's heads. Lin Hai wears a flower turban, and she wears a prince's crown on her head. Seeing Lin Hai with a flower turban on his head, everyone leaned back and laughed.
At this time, one of the teachers began to read the lines:
"One day, the prince sent the girls of the whole country to a ball and chose a wife from among them. Cinderella wanted to go, but her stepmother didn't agree, so she was only willing to take her two daughters and let Cinderella help her sisters put on makeup. Cinderella was very sad, and the elf was touched by Cinderella, and gave her a dress and a pair of crystal slippers, and reminded her to come back at twelve o'clock, otherwise, the magic would be invalid. Cinderella went, and the prince was captivated by her and only danced with her. When twelve o'clock came, Cinderella hurriedly fled and accidentally dropped the crystal slipper"
Wang Yuqing and Lin Hai improvised according to the lines read by the teacher. Lin Hai pretended to be Cinderella, he played very coquettish, very cute. And she dresses up as a prince, and she must act solemnly and majesticly in order to reflect the prince's demeanor. So she went to Cinderella's house with her head held high and the slipper in her hand, and when Cinderella's two sisters tried on the shoes, she made a contemptuous appearance, but when she saw Cinderella put the slipper on her feet, she was very happy, and then she took Cinderella and began to dance.
After the performance of this small play, everyone applauded enthusiastically. However, Chief Ding began to ask her, "May I ask this prince, why did you choose Cinderella as your beloved?"
She smiled embarrassedly at everyone, and looked at Lin Hai again, seeing that Lin Hai had been looking at her with that kind of fascinated gaze, her heart moved, and she said, "Because she is beautiful and her heart is more beautiful." Everyone applauded her answer.
After the dinner party, everyone either went back to the house to play mahjong, or went to the karaoke hall to sing. Originally, they also wanted to sing, but they wanted to go for a walk in the night. It was their first time walking at night. The night was dark, and the boulevard was quiet, except for the bright light from the lodging building.
At this time, Lin Hai suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at her with affectionate eyes. She knew he wanted to kiss her, but she had come to the party for her sister. Therefore, in the face of Lin Hai's passion, she was both eager and worried, and her heart was pounding violently. Maybe it was Lin Hai who saw her hesitation, so he didn't hug her into his arms, but led her to walk slowly.
"Lin Hai, I didn't do well in the past, don't you hold a grudge against me?" she said to him.
Lin Hai walked silently and said, "To be honest, I like you very much, but I still can't get used to you being cold and hot for a while, quiet for a while, and impetuous for a while. Therefore, I yearn for and am infatuated with your quietness and loveliness, and I don't like your impetuousness and restlessness. I sincerely hope that you will remain the way you are today, and that you will always be a quiet and lovely girl. ”
Yuqing nodded and said, "I'll try to do it." ”
