Chapter 79: Condolence Performance

This time Liu Jingxin really misunderstood the system, to be precise, he misunderstood Tong Wenxuan.

The two of them went to the Japanese teppanyaki buffet last time, and chose a slightly corner location.

After ordering a good meal, the two only chatted a few words, and then got to the point.

Tong Wenxuan said: "I just heard from a few volunteers that they are preparing a performance for the elderly people in the nursing home, and the time is scheduled for this Sunday afternoon. Do you have time, can you put on a show?"

Hearing this, Liu Jingxin knew that there should not be "Tong Wenxuan's wish" this time, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "Yes, but I can only sing, and I can't do other shows." ”

Tong Wenxuan didn't seem to expect Liu Jingxin to agree so happily, and said with a happy face: "Just sing, you can sing so many songs, just choose one that suits the occasion." I think "When You're Old" or "Where Has Time Gone" are quite appropriate. ”

Liu Jingxin smiled faintly, shook his head slightly, and said: "On this kind of occasion, it is definitely not okay to choose songs casually." I just wrote a song that I could sing to them when the time came. ”

Tong Wenxuan said with anticipation: "What kind of song, can I listen to it first?"

Liu Jingxin shook his head and said: "It's just been made, it's not perfect, you'll know when the time comes." ”

This performance is scheduled on Sunday, the time is actually very close, and because many volunteers have their own study, work and life, so this performance should be a little casual in preparation, there is no rehearsal, not even a program list, only a general order of appearance, which is really a bit arbitrary.

After all, the volunteers are not professional, and it is really not easy for them to have this kind of heart.

Regardless of whether others are casual or not, Liu Jingxin attaches great importance to this performance.

After he returned, he wrote down the new song on the score, and then made the preliminary arrangement, completing the playing and singing version first, and as for the band version, he was not in a hurry to do it. Comparatively, the rehearsal of the band's "100 rock songs" is more important, after all, the time is too tight.

This time, because it was in a sanatorium, it was not suitable to move the entire electroacoustic band over, so on the day of the performance, Liu Jingxin came to the sanatorium alone with the box piano that the system rewarded him.

Like last time, Tong Wenxuan had been waiting at the gate of the sanatorium in advance, and when she saw that Liu Jingxin had finally arrived, she hurriedly pulled Liu Jingxin into the sanatorium and rushed to the central park.

In the shade of that small park, there were already a lot of old people sitting around at this time, and in the open space in front of them, there were several middle-aged aunts dancing fan dances.

Although there was a lot of randomness in this performance, the aunts seemed to have really put in a lot of effort, dressed in uniform costumes, and danced very neatly.

Grandma Tong sat in the crowd with the portrait in her arms, and the people on the left and right were a short distance away from her, I don't know if it was because she didn't like Grandma Tong, who was a little withdrawn, or because she felt that Grandpa Tong's portrait was unlucky.

Tong Wenxuan took Liu Jingxin aside and introduced him to an aunt surnamed Sun, and then jumped up and down to find his grandmother.

This Aunt Sun is very rich, with big wavy curly hair on her head, and she has already laughed before she speaks, which is especially easy to communicate.

"Xiao Liu, thank you so much for your support to us!" Aunt Sun thanked.

Liu Jingxin said: "It should be, it should be." ”

Aunt Sun took a piece of white paper full of creases and handed it to Liu Jingxin and said, "Look at it, this is the program list we have set, and we will give suggestions." ”

Liu Jingxin took the piece of paper and found the three words "Tong Wenxuan" in the scribbled handwriting of that line, the specific program was not written, and it was expected to refer to Liu Jingxin's playing and singing.

Liu Jingxin's appearance was arranged near the middle, with a poem recitation in front and a cross talk in the back.

In fact, Aunt Sun said that she asked Liu Jingxin to make suggestions, but in fact, she showed Liu Jingxin whether it was appropriate to arrange his program in that position.

"Pretty good. Liu Jingxin said and handed back the program list.

In fact, Liu Jingxin doesn't care about his first appearance, he came today for only one purpose, which is to sing the third original song he wrote to these grandparents.

Aunt Sun was very talkative, and pulled Liu Jingxin to talk about things and talk about homely things for a while, and she didn't stop until it was her turn to perform the show.

Liu Jingxin took out the guitar from the piano bag and walked to the side and pretended to wait, but he was actually afraid that Aunt Sun would come back from the show and then pull him to chat.

The two of them are separated by a generation, and they don't have so many topics in common, and the content of the conversation is nothing more than Liu Jingxin's family situation.

Liu Jingxin is really worried that if he continues to talk, Aunt Sun will pick up all the genealogy of his family.

Alas! It's just a chat, but as for making it the same as a political trial? How embarrassing!

Sure enough, after Aunt Sun came back, she saw Liu Jingxin hiding aside and practicing the guitar, so she didn't continue to bother Liu Jingxin, turned her head and chatted with others.

The show ended one after another, and it was finally time for Liu Jingxin to appear on the stage.

Liu Jingxin's previous program was a very cute little Lori poem reciting "My Grandmother". That little Lori should have learned to speak, her voice is very sweet, her voice is full of emotion, and her body movements are slightly stiff, but they are quite professional.

It's just that the background music used for this speech is "The Dawn of Heroes", which makes Liu Jingxin feel very awkward to listen to.

When Little Lori's soundtrack poem recitation ended, it was finally Liu Jingxin's turn to appear.

Liu Jingxin saw that several old men had fallen asleep in wheelchairs, and some old ladies had also gathered around to chat. These old people don't seem to have much interest in this performance.

When Liu Jingxin came to the center of the open space with his guitar, only Tong Wenxuan applauded excitedly.

He smiled at Tong Wenxuan, did not immediately report the curtain, nor did he start playing and singing directly, but under the gaze of many people, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the string of familiar and unfamiliar numbers again.

"Grandma, I'm Xiaoxin...... I wrote a song for you and I want to sing it to you......"

While Liu Jingxin was talking to his grandmother, he waved at Tong Wenxuan.

Tong Wenxuan was stunned, got up and came to Liu Jingxin's side.

Liu Jingxin handed the mobile phone to Tong Wenxuan and said, "Please help me get the mobile phone next to me, I'm afraid my grandmother won't hear it." ”

Many people felt very puzzled when they saw this scene, and several actors cast inquiring glances at Aunt Sun, and Aunt Sun spread her hands and said that she didn't know what Liu Jingxin was doing.

Liu Jingxin first connected the box piano to the speaker, then pulled a chair and sat down, adjusted the height of the microphone stand, took a few deep breaths to adjust his state, and then slowly closed his eyes, recalling the bits and pieces of his childhood with his grandmother, and raised his hand to play the strings gently.
