Chapter 104 [Song and Dance Hall]
This time, Ji Chunhua invited Chen Tianlang to talk at a special location, not a Western restaurant in a star-rated hotel, nor an ice cream or cold drink stall on the street, but a song and dance hall --- the Golden Horse Song and Dance Hall.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
The summer nights came late, and the sky had not yet darkened.
Chen Tianlang rode his outdated 28 permanent bicycle to this song and dance hall on Renmin Road.
There was a place to tie up bicycles next to the ballroom, and there was even an old man sitting who seemed to be in charge of watching the cars. Also, bicycles are big things these days, more than 200 yuan for a car, nearly three months' salary for a person, many people save money in order to buy a car, and they can't afford to lose it in order to dance.
In order to attract customers, the ballroom must of course provide high-quality service for good-looking cars, and the place where the cars are set up is also in good order, and motorcycles and bicycles are parked separately and look neat.
Chen Tianlang tied up the car and asked the old man who was watching the car for a license plate, which was still a simple license plate cut from playing cards, with a thin rope and a thin rope, which could be easily hung on the handlebar, but the license plate was stamped with a big red seal, and five big red characters were printed on it: Golden Horse Song and Dance Hall.
Carefully carrying the license plate into his arms, Chen Tianlang walked to the door of the dance hall, looked up at the very magnificent neon gold signboard, and couldn't help but think of a domestic drama "Seahorse Cabaret" in 1993 in his previous life.
The starring roles of this drama are Liang Tian and Chen Xiaoyi, both of whom are very popular TV stars in this era, but later Chen Tianlang learned that the screenwriters of this drama are even more talented, in addition to Wang Shuo, Liu Zhenyun, Haiyan, there is also a Ma Weidu.
Just as Chen Tianlang was staring at the big signboard and thinking, a voice behind him said: "Alas, I said that you are not entering or not? What are you doing blocking the door?"
Chen Tianlang turned his head to see that it was a fashionably dressed curly-haired young man, holding a woman in a short skirt.
At this moment, the curly-haired young man was holding a cigarette, his face was unhappy, and when he looked at himself, he was really stuck at the door blocking the way of others.
Chen Tianlang smiled embarrassedly, moved his steps, and got out of the way, and the curly-haired young man glanced at Chen Tianlang very much, and entered the dance hall with the woman in the short skirt, it seemed that he was a frequent visitor here.
At the door, the waiter in charge of guarding the door saw the curly-haired man coming, and hurriedly nodded and welcomed: "Oh, Brother Curly-haired, you are here." ”
When Chen Tianlang entered, the waiter just said, "Welcome." "There's a little bit of enthusiasm missing.
Walking from the outside to the inside of the dance hall, the light changed from bright to dim, Chen Tianlang was a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, so he stood next to him for a while, and when his eyes could almost see the vision clearly, he continued to walk inside.
As soon as he entered it, he smelled an indescribable nightclub smell in his nose, perfume, mixed wine, and the musty smell brought by the darkness, and then mixed with fermented nicotine and sprayed air freshener, which made Chen Tianlang's nose itch a little.
Looking around, Chen Tianlang has a feeling of passing through, the retro stepped stage is over, pulling colorful paper flowers, two horn-like searchlights, and a rock flash the size of a lion's head, which is blooming at the moment.
Because the hot time has not yet arrived, no one is singing on the stage for the time being, but the sound of the dance hall is turned on, and the poignant song "Tears of the Dancing Girl" by Taiwanese singer Han Baoyi is playing---
One wrong step is a lifelong mistake,
Go to the sea to dance for life
The dancer is also the pain in the heart of the human heart, to whom to speak,
For the persecution of life, tears fell into my stomach
Is this fate destined to live in that red dust all his life,
Dancing and shaking, swaying and hugging, personality has long been soaked in wine
Night Tango Cha Rumba
Who called me a dancer......
Looking around, there were about forty or fifty small round tables around the stage, that is, the wine tables in the ballroom.
It stands to reason that these wine tables are subject to a fee, unless you spend more than a certain amount to reduce the cost of using the wine table.
In this regard, many consumers who come to the dance hall have complained, but this is also an opportunity to show up in disguise.
If you invite a friend to come to the dance hall to play, if you can afford to sit at the table, it means that you have the ability and ability, if you can't even sit at the wine table, it means that you are a poor ghost, and you can only stand and play all night, let alone any ditch girl pickling girl.
It was still early, and the seats were basically empty, and Chen Tianlang saw that the curly hair and his girlfriend, who had come in first, had already sat down at the main wine table and ordered beer.
The woman in the short skirt snuggled in his arms and giggled, and from time to time pricked a watermelon with a toothpick and sent it to the curly hair's mouth, her posture and movements explained what it meant to be "".
Of course, in addition to such people, there will also be some people who seem to have a higher taste. For example, at this moment, in the middle of the dance floor, a man and a woman are hugging each other and dancing slowly to the song "Tears of a Dancing Girl".
The man is quite tall, wears glasses, wears a suit, and when he dances, he has a white handkerchief in the pocket of the suit, giving people a taste of the male protagonist of Hong Kong films. The woman's figure is very toned, with long legs, and she is also very good at wearing clothes. The two dancing is called a tacit understanding, and at first glance they are a master.
In addition, there is a living treasure on the dance floor, it is a scantily clad fat girl, no one partners with her, this fat girl is very ecstatic on the dance floor with the song and trembles, the fat is shaking, and she looks very high.
Chen Tianlang finally glanced at the entire ballroom, in addition to the guests he had just observed, in the dark corner of the ballroom, there was also a group of women with heavy makeup, all with thick eyebrows, red lips and white makeup, dressed in revealing clothes, and their posture was profligate, needless to say that Chen Tianlang also knew what they did.
There were also some sturdy men waiting at the door of the ballroom and at the back of the stage, smoking cigarettes, nodding their heads and whispering, like hunting dogs hidden in the dark...... Chen Tianlang couldn't help but look at these people a few more times, and one of the men with a small flat head immediately reacted and looked at them smartly. Chen Tianlang smiled at him casually, and then walked to the bar.
"Bring me a beer. Chen Tianlang said to the little girl at the bar.
It was a very innocently dressed girl, who looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, because she should be at school age, but she worked here, Chen Tianlang guessed that either she was not good at studying, or her family environment was too poor.
Most of the so-called beer in the dance hall is a large draft beer in bulk, and it costs a big glass for a dollar outside, but it is three dollars in it, which is a full triple.
The girl very skillfully took a large glass of beer and brought it to Chen Tianlang.
Chen Tianlang said "thank you" to her.
The girl blushed, and it was rare for someone in such a place to say such things to her, either to take advantage of them and tease, or to say some indiscriminate things.
Chen Tianlang was not interested in flirting with his sister, so he took a sip of beer, which tasted good. It's just that when he almost drank all the big glasses of draft beer, Sister Hua Ji Chunhua, who had made an appointment with the time and place, hadn't even appeared.
Looking at the signboard of this dance hall, you can know that this should be Ji Chunhua's industry, and in her own land, she still appeared so late, and this woman is too upright.
Chen Tianlang wiped a handful of beer foam from his mouth with the back of his hand, resisted the irritability of waiting for others, pushed the empty cup to the bar girl and said, "Another drink!"
……
As time passed, the dance hall began to be crowded, more crowded, and more lively, and waves of regular customers began to dance in the dance floor.
The dance music in the song hall was also changed one after another, and at this time the disco dance song "The Little Girl Under the Streetlamp" was played.
This dance music has been loved by young people since its release, especially in discos, and it is a classic dance music that must be played every night. Bright rhythms, relaxed melodies, and dynamic dance spots all attract people to the dance floor to show off their dancing skills.
At the entrance of the ballroom, six young men and women curiously walked into this unique place, their hearts were amazed, their eyes were embarrassed, and their expressions were like Columbus discovering a new world.
They've only heard of dance halls before, and they know it's fun and messy, and they've heard that dragons and snakes are mixed with everyone. But the more this happens, the more they arouse their curiosity to find out what is going on here, so tonight they came, and for the first time they came to this mysterious place where the teacher said it was immoral and could not be played casually.
Among them, the handsome boy has a tall physique, it is Xiong Changlin, an outstanding student of Nandu No. 2 High School, and he is followed by his best friends Zheng Peng and Wang Wei, as for the three girls, one is called Wang Wanqiu, the other is called Tang Ling, and the last one is Kong Yueyuan.
"Yueyuan, I know you don't like this kind of place, but we have finished the college entrance examination, so we should relax, besides, we are all adults as soon as we go to college, and we are no longer children, of course this kind of place can also be played." Xiong Changlin explained to Kong Yueyuan bitterly.
"Yes, Changlin has a treat tonight, let's have fun. I heard that you applied for SH Fudan University this time, and you will definitely be able to be admitted with your grades, and when you go to SH, we won't see each other, and here it can be regarded as helping you congratulate and help you see you off!"
Originally, Kong Yueyuan didn't come out tonight, but Xiong Changlin asked Zheng Peng to find a way, saying that tonight was the last chance, and he must confess to Kong Xiaohua, and even the roses used for confession were ready, just waiting for the moment of romance.
Zheng Peng thought of a way, asked the girls next to him, Tang Ling and Wang Wanqiu, to bring Kong Yueyuan out, and lied to her that they would go to the Baihe River to drink cold drinks to catch up with the old days, they were almost separated, and they finally got together.
Kong Yueyuan didn't want to come out, she just wanted to hide in the house and read, and she borrowed more than half of Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" from the library.
When her mother Li Hongmei saw this, she said to her that it was right to only focus on studying in the past, but she should also pay attention to building a good relationship with her classmates, and she may not know who can help whom in the future.
Father Kong Jianbang means that now that the college entrance examination has passed, even if it is a machine, it must be relaxed, if you reject people like this every time, it will give people the impression of being too arrogant and unsociable, which is not good for future growth.
Kong Yueyuan didn't expect that a trivial matter would be nagged so much by her parents, so in order to make her ears more relaxed, she agreed to come out to play. But I never thought that it was not only Tang Ling and Wang Wanqiu, two female classmates, but also Xiong Changlin, three male classmates, who asked me out to play.
For Xiong Changlin, Kong Yueyuan has no good feelings or bad feelings. If the thing that impresses him the most is not that he has a good academic performance and is in the top three in the class in every exam, but that he was knocked out of his front tooth by Chen Tianlang with one knee last time, and now that front tooth is still newly filled and looks ugly.
"Wow, how could I think of that villain. Chen Tianlang's shadow flashed in Kong Yueyuan's mind, and she hurriedly deleted it.
For her, she and Chen Tianlang are people from two worlds at all, she is about to go to college, and he didn't even take the college entrance examination, let alone be a college student.
His future is bright and full of flowers, but his is bleak and muddy, with no hope in sight.
I won't have any contact with this kind of mud anymore.
Yes, never.
