Chapter 32 Participation in Activities

Seeing that Fat Tiger and Wang Furong were reconciled as before,

Yuan Li breathed a long sigh of relief, returned to the dormitory alone, and slept peacefully.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and when he woke up, it was already noon, Yuan Li stretched out with satisfaction, dressed and got up.

Yesterday I had an appointment with Ma Piao,

This afternoon, we went to the senior community to participate in the activity, and Yuan Li found that he seemed to have entered the senior life in advance.

After a brief lunch, I took a taxi to the Donghai Senior Community Center.

Tokai City Senior Community.

Yuan Li has been waiting at the door for half an hour,

The horse floated to hold the thermos cup in his hand and walked slowly to arrive here.

Yuan Li saw the figure of the horse drifting, and hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed the horse floating, and said:

"Grandpa Ma, you're finally here, I thought you wouldn't let my pigeons go!"

Ma Piaolai smacked his lips, waved his hand and said:

"How could the old man lie to you, it's just that you came early, and the community activities haven't started yet!"

"Yes, yes, it's early. ”

Yuan Li nodded and asked:

"Grandpa Ma, shall we go in now?"

The horse floated up and straightened his waist and waved his big hand:

"Let's go, let's see who dares to laugh at me today. ”

Yuan Li helped Ma Piao to enter the Donghai City Senior Community Center, saying that the community center was actually an activity center converted from an old movie theater.

After walking into the community, Yuan Li found that it was already crowded with people, and it was almost about to fill the entire space.

It is not only the elderly who come to participate in the event, but most of them are accompanied by their children, which is why there are so many people.

"Oh, the old horse is coming!"

Ma Piaolai had just found a place to sit down, and a little old man with reading glasses greeted him:

"It's been an early year, and you've been the last to show up in previous years. ”

Before Ma Piaolai could speak, another little old man accosted him:

"Old horse is different this year, I don't see the young man standing behind the people. ”

Ma Piaolai held his head high, with a smug face:

"What's the matter, don't you always joke that I attend the event alone every year, but this year I was accompanied by juniors. ”

Yuan Li smiled and nodded to the two little old men who were talking to Ma Piao just now.

The little old man with reading glasses glanced at Yuan Li a few times, and then leaned into Ma Piaolai's ear:

"Old Ma, I haven't heard you mention anything about this young man before. ”

Ma Piaolai opened the thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly:

"A few days ago, I just recognized a grandson, and there is nothing to say, it's just that he is tall, looks spiritual, plays chess well, can sing and dance, and is versatile. ”

Ma Piaolai's words were red at the root of Yuan Li's ears, is this cow a little overblown.

Afraid that others would see his embarrassment, Yuan Li hurriedly turned his head and shifted his gaze to other places.

I have to say that the atmosphere of this event is still very good, there are chatting, chess, square dancing, and even more, pulling their children on blind dates one by one.

This lasted for about twenty minutes, and an old man in a wide suit with gray hair walked up to the stage with a microphone.

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

The old man tried the sound and said loudly:

"Old guys, let's find a place to do it,

The event is about to start now. ”

The old man's words carried a lot of weight, and the old man and the old lady, who were originally scattered, hurriedly found a place to sit down.

Seeing this, the old man on the stage nodded with satisfaction, raised the microphone and said again:

"Time is like an arrow, and before you know it, another year has passed, and this year we have met many new friends, and we have also sent some old friends away.

In any case, our big family is getting better and better, and many empty nesters like me find happiness here, find the passion of their youth, and hope that each of us can enjoy our old age here!

I won't say much nonsense, now let's start the first program of this event, please enjoy the dance brought by the beautiful girl team!"

After the sparse applause, five or six old ladies with an average age of about 60 years old walked onto the stage in colorful clothes and heavy makeup.

At the same time, the loudspeaker with poor sound quality sounded music:

"Spin and jump, I close my eyes ......"

The beautiful girl team danced when they heard the song, and their graceful posture attracted the little old man below to applaud.

"Shhh ”

The horse floated to put his hand in his mouth, blew several times without whistling, and almost blew out the dentures, and then gave up.

Yuan Li wiped the saliva that flowed to the corners of his mouth, and shook his head with a smile.

After the opening dance, there is a cross talk performance, erhu solo, poetry recitation, etc.

Like Yuan Li, the young people who came to accompany him looked at the stage with a yawn on their expressions, but those old people watched it with relish.

The show went on for more than an hour,

With the end of a wonderful square dance,

The old man who had just started to preside took the stage again.

He cleared his throat and raised his voice:

"Time always flies quickly, this event has come to an end, this year we decided to come to a different place, is there anyone who wants their children and grandchildren to perform on stage!"

No one replied, Xu is that these old people know how capable their juniors are, and they don't want them to be embarrassed when they come to power.

Ma Piaolai patted Yuan Li's arm,

whispered:

"Little friend, why don't you perform on stage?"

When Yuan Li heard this, his head shook like a rattle, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Grandpa Ma, I'm not going, I'm just accompanying you to the event, I don't want to go on stage. ”

Ma Piaolai had a straight face, a little unhappy:

"You kid, it's not like you don't know how to be talented,

It's not okay to go up and give the old man a long face twice, I'll ask you. ”

Yuan Li waved his hand, looking embarrassed:

"Grandpa Ma, just spare me! I don't want to be a good bird, and besides, I don't know what to perform on stage. ”

"Alas. ”

Ma Piaolai sighed, shook his head and said:

"Xiaoxiao's birthday tomorrow, I originally wanted to invite you to my house as a guest, but since you don't want to help the old man, I won't force you to ......"

After Ma Piao finished speaking, he couldn't hear Yuan Li's reply for a long time, he turned his head suspiciously, and found that Yuan Li's figure had disappeared.

"Hey, hello grandparents. ”

Hearing the voice from the stage, Ma Piaolai hurriedly looked, only to see Yuan Li directly grab the microphone and say with a bright smile:

"My name is Yuan Li, I am the grandson of Ma Piaolai Ma's grandfather, since no one is on stage, then I will simply sing a song to everyone!"

When the words fell, the old people looked towards the position where Ma Piaolai came, Ma Piaolai squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea, this kind of feeling of attention is really good!

Yuan Li scratched his head,

Ask the audience:

"What songs do you like to listen to, why don't I sing any of them?"

"Good!"

"Sing whatever you want!"

"Young man sings boldly!"

Some of the little old men who were playing chess in the small park recognized Yuan Li and responded loudly.

Yuan Li saw this,

The corners of the mouth hooked a touch of arc,

Then you're welcome......
