Chapter 40 Played a tune

The days when there are beautiful women to accompany the gym are happy, and the happy days always pass very quickly. Unconsciously, ten days passed, Mu Xiaobai came to say goodbye to Chen Yang, and Chen Yang didn't keep it, but just gave her a gift and asked her to go home and open it again.

The gift is wrapped in brocade paper and looks exquisite. Mu Xiaobai thought it was something valuable, and when he was about to excuse himself, he thought about it and accepted it.

When he arrived at home, Mu Xiaobai opened the brocade paper and revealed a box, which was made of wood and was not valuable. Open the box, and inside is a frog puppet.

Mu Xiaobai picked it up and took a look, thinking that this puppet was neither expensive nor good-looking, and he didn't know what Chen Yang thought when he took this as a gift. At this time, she heard her mother calling her downstairs, she agreed, and threw the frog puppet on the bed, and the puppet bounced to the ground.

On September 3, the Yanjin Chen's Group Sunset Red Healthy Elderly Competition officially kicked off.

According to the original meaning of the Municipal Sports Bureau, this healthy elderly competition is to organize several elderly people to sit together, pull the erhu who can pull the erhu, write a few strokes of calligraphy who can write calligraphy, and dance a square dance for a square dance, and then give each person a prize, which is in the past.

But with the participation of Mr. Chen Yang of the Chen Group, things have changed.

The first is that there are many people who sign up. Many retired entrepreneurs have signed up, and everyone seems to see the competition as an important social event.

The second is that there is a lot of money. The Chen Group took the lead in donating 3 million, and then various enterprises followed, and the Sports Bureau received a total of 12 million in activity funds. With such a lot of money, you can't help but make a big scene.

The third is the high degree of social attention. I heard that Mayor Zhao Dejian also attached great importance to this event, and let out the wind and said that the finals would be present in person.

Because of the above three articles, the Sports Bureau attaches great importance to it, and several leaders sat down for a meeting and decided to follow the variety shows of major TVs, and also hold a preliminary round, semi-final, and final. In order to encourage the majority of the elderly in the city to participate, incentives have also been taken out: all the elderly over 65 years old, as long as they sign up for the competition, will be rewarded with ten eggs, or a bag of fruit.

This trick is a high-level move, which not only makes the rural elderly pour out of the nest, but also makes the unsalable fruits of the fruit farmers in Yanbei County sold out all at once. Even Mayor Zhao praised the Sports Bureau, saying that they always take the farmers' suffering to heart, which is worthy of recognition.

The leaders of the Sports Bureau were greatly encouraged.

Of course, regrets are not without them. The main thing is that the standard of this healthy elderly person is difficult to determine.

Originally, the Sports Bureau consulted Yanhu Hospital, and there were several standards, which were called "eyes with spirit, harmonious voice, not abundant in shape, strong teeth, sharp waist and legs, and small veins".

But then a veteran soldier who had fought in the war said: My eyes are blank because one eye is left on the battlefield, and the voice is not harmonious, because I screamed in my throat under artillery fire. You say I'm not a healthy old man, and I don't accept it. As soon as all the judges on the scene heard this, the wind changed drastically, and the veteran soldier immediately won.

As a result, the audience applauded.

What the people want.

So it's hard to determine. Fortunately, there are not many veterans participating in the competition, just this one, Lin Qingsong.

Chen Yang could have entered the finals directly, because the Chen Group was the largest sponsor of this competition, and the Sports Bureau gave a direct promotion place, but Chen Yang took the initiative to give up.

He knew that he couldn't ask for this place, and if he asked for it, he would be questioned, and then good things would turn bad.

Chen Yang's preliminary match was held in Yanhu Gymnasium, and many elderly people on the scene basically took eggs or fruits and left, and did not participate seriously at all. The old men who had the patience to sit until the end made it to the semifinals.

The semi-final was held at the Yanxi Gymnasium, there were no eggs and fruits to take, and many of the finalists did not come. Chen Yang looked around, there were probably more than thirty old people left.

The more than 30 old men obviously came prepared, and at the request of the judges, they all performed some talents. There are those who dance square dances, those who write calligraphy, those who play tai chi, and there are also several performing instruments, and one who plays the erhu is particularly good.

When it was Chen Yang's turn, he was supposed to dance a dance of Mu Xiaobai's old age as planned, but suddenly he felt uncomfortable. He had been on the scene for so long, and he thought that there was indeed a huge difference between himself and these old people, and that he really shouldn't have come to participate in this competition.

In other words, he shouldn't think of himself as an old man.

That's when he really realized where he should be.

But he was already standing on the stage, and he couldn't help but perform, and he didn't want to dance the old dance, so what should he do? He remembered a song he used to play in college, so he asked the judges: Do you have any ocarinas here? The judges said no. Chen Yang wanted to give up acting.

At this time, an audience member came up from the audience and handed Chen Yang an ocarina.

Chen Yang played a tune and left.

The scene was originally very noisy, as soon as Chen Yang came on stage, the audience immediately became quiet, everyone felt that this old man was different, and they couldn't say what was different. I just think that this old man will do something exciting, and he should be quiet and wait for him to start performing.

Then Chen Yang played that tune.

The people in the audience, as well as the judges on the stage, were stunned, they had never heard this song before.

I can't say what it feels like.

They even forgot to applaud.

They watched Chen Yang step down and then go out, thinking that he was just going to the toilet and would be back soon.

Everyone knows that many elderly people have frequent urination.

However, when all the games were over, Chen Yang did not come back.

The judges all knew that it was Mr. Chen Yang, the old father of the sponsor Chairman Chen Jiashan, who extended the competition by half an hour.

Half an hour later, before Chen Yang returned, the judges called Director Xu Minfeng of the Sports Bureau. Xu Minfeng hurriedly called Chen Jiashan.

Chen Jiashan was also surprised, and found Chen Yang and asked. Chen Yang said he didn't want to participate. Chen Jiashan was confused, but there was no way. I had to call Director Xu Minfeng and say that my old father suddenly felt unwell and decided not to participate in all the games in the future.

Xu Minfeng was also helpless.

The game was broadcast live on Yanxi TV. It is conceivable that few people want to watch this kind of competition between the elderly, unless there are their own relatives and friends inside.

Mu Xiaobai didn't go to the scene, but after watching TV, when Chen Yang came on the stage, she thought that the old man would dance the old dance that her cousin taught him, and she practiced for a month, isn't it just for this day. Who knew that Chen Yang did not dance, but played a tune on the ocarina.

Mu Xiaobai was very surprised at first, but was immediately attracted by the song.

When the song was over, she realized she should have recorded it, but it was too late.

She sat on the bed for a long time, and suddenly remembered the frog puppet given by Chen Yang, and she couldn't find it after looking for it, and finally found it under the bed. She held the puppet and felt that Chen Yang was too strange, and it was a mystery.

When Chen Yang's old friends learned that he had withdrawn from the competition, they all called to ask, but Chen Yang didn't answer any of them. Those old guys can't help it, because Chen Yang is a person with a strange temper.

In the final result of the competition, the veteran soldier Lin Qingsong won the championship, and Mayor Zhao Dejian personally presented the award.

But talking about this game after the game, what impressed everyone the most was not the old soldier, but the tune played by Chen Yang, which was so strange that no one had ever heard it, and I don't know if it was temporarily made up by the old man of the Chen family on the spot.

Some people say that the old man Chen Yang retired from the competition in order to fulfill the old soldier, and some people say that Chen Yang knew that he couldn't compare to the old soldier, so he withdrew early to save face for himself.

This was all unexpected by Chen Yang. Overall, the half-way game didn't damage his reputation, but rather added to his mystique.
