Chapter Eighty-Three: A Faintly Unsettling Look
The performance to commemorate the third Teacher's Day was arranged to be held at the Shengli Grand Theater, and only five programs in the entire first grade group were selected by the school, and Zhang Jiaming's first grade class took up three of them, in addition to the class chorus "Singing and Smiling" and Lin Na's girls' solo "The Love of Green Leaves to Roots", Zhang Jiaming's "White Birch Forest" was also selected unexpectedly.
Mr. Wu, the head teacher, was very appreciative of Zhang Jiaming's successful organization activities, every time he saw Zhang Jiaming in the past two days, his eyes were full of love, but Zhang Jiaming was accidentally selected by his own program and felt very depressed, I couldn't keep a low profile!
The theatrical performance time is set at half past two in the afternoon on the day of Teacher's Day, and students who have performance tasks should arrive at the backstage of the theater half an hour in advance to wait for the show, and when Zhang Jiaming arrived at the lounge backstage of the theater at 1:50, the students in the class were only halfway there.
Lin Na saw Zhang Jiaming come in and stood up from the chair and said, "I just looked at the program list, this performance is the third appearance of our class's chorus, and we will hurry up and have the last joint practice after all the students in our class have arrived." ”
"Well, some of the problems that arose during rehearsals yesterday and see if they are corrected today." Zhang Jiaming nodded and said.
Lin Na stared at Zhang Jia and understood the logo on the pocket of his shirt and said, "Ah, this is Jinlilai's shirt, it's very expensive, but wearing good clothes is to lift your spirit!" ”
Zhang Jiaming's heart is the daughter of a rich family after all, like this era, there are really few children of such a big age who can recognize the brand of this dress at a glance, and even many children have never heard of this brand.
Zhang Jiaming smiled and said, "Imitation! If you buy it at a stall, it's ten yuan a piece! ”
Lin Na pursed her lips and said, "You just pretend!" My dad has several shirts like this, and every time I iron him, will I admit my mistake? Cut! ”
Zhang Jiaming instructed the students to stand in the formation they had rehearsed before starting the last joint practice before the performance, and the school's music teacher also came over to make some suggestions.
The host of this performance is Xiao Bin, the president of the school's student union, and another girl from high school, at this time, Xiao Bin is wearing a black suit and red tie, and is sitting on a chair five or six meters away from Zhang Jiaming and chatting with the hostess.
Zhang Jiaming looked at Xiao Bin quietly, he felt that the president of the student union had a youthful and old temperament, especially those eyes faintly gave people an unfathomable feeling, making people feel that this big boy was not so simple.
Maybe the sixth sense is working, Xiao Bin felt that someone was watching him, so his eyes swept over keenly, Zhang Jiaming naturally staggered his eyes, looked at Lin Na and said: "Lin Na, you sing the song "The Affection of Green Leaves to the Roots", I will hear if you have improved compared to yesterday. ”
Lin Na smiled and nodded, lightly opened her red lips to reveal her bright teeth, and a beautiful singing voice floated out, "Don't ask me where I'm going, my heart is attached to you, don't ask me where I'm going, my love is holding you, I'm a green leaf for you, my roots are in your land, and I bid farewell to you in the spring breeze......"
It should be said that Lin Na's voice condition is very good, and she sings with emotion, completely expressing the charm of this song to the fullest, Lin Na sang a song and then ushered in bursts of applause in the lounge of Nuoda, Zhang Jiaming noticed that Xiao Bin also smiled and applauded.
Lin Na said to Zhang Jiaming with a bright smile on her face: "Jiaming, you also sing your song "White Birch Forest", let me feel how it is." ”
Zhang Jiaming smiled and said, "Didn't you already hear it during the rehearsal yesterday?" ”
Lin Na replied, "I haven't heard enough yet, you can sing it again." ”
"Okay!" Zhang Jiaming nodded, "The quiet village is covered with white snow, pigeons are flying under the hazy sky, and the birch trees are engraved with two names......"
Zhang Jiaming's voice was neither high nor low singing Pu Shu's "White Birch Forest", suddenly, his sixth sense made him feel that there was an unusual gaze staring at him, Zhang Jiaming looked at the man's gaze, at this time Xiao Bin quickly took his eyes back, but in this less than a second of eye contact, Zhang Jiaming tasted surprise from his eyes, well, or it is more appropriate to describe it with the word shock.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, Zhang Jiaming, who has rich life experience, still keenly captured this feeling.
At this time, Zhang Jiaming inexplicably felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, this kind of uneasiness was something he had never encountered in the past three years or so, even in the face of gangsters like Wang Cripple and the little bad breed that people could not avoid, he had never had this kind of uneasiness.
Zhang Jiaming's singing voice did not pause at all, but he said in his heart, this kind of gaze is really strange, it should be that only things that are thought impossible to happen happen can make people have this kind of expression.
He's just like me......
Zhang Jiaming didn't want to continue thinking about it, he himself felt ridiculous about his own absurd and bizarre idea, and he thought that a special situation like his own was just an exception in this world.
At the end of Zhang Jiaming's song, he also ushered in bursts of applause in the lounge, and then other students who participated in the performance also joined in the preparations before the performance, and the lounge suddenly seemed a little noisy.
At half past two, the microphone on the stage sounded on time, and the principal made a few brief opening remarks, and then warmly invited Secretary Wang of the Municipal Party Committee to come to the stage to make an important speech.
"Teachers, students, in order to commemorate the arrival of the third Teacher's Day in the country, we are here to gather solemnly, the great people's educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi once said......"
Secretary Wang spoke passionately for ten minutes before handing over the microphone to the principal, and the principal thanked the leaders at all levels and said loudly: "Now I announce that the commemoration of the Teacher's Day theatrical performance has officially begun!" ”
Immediately after the stage, the host Xiao Bin's announcement came, "Next, please listen to the chorus "Whenever I Gently Walk in Front of the Teacher's Window", the performer, all the students of the third and fifth classes of junior high school. ”
With the music and singing on the stage, the uneasiness in Zhang Jiaming's heart has long been relieved, even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you are a prophet like me, so what? You're young and old, and I'm still a little ghost! When the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, then it is deeper than the other person's Tao practice.
The chorus of Zhang Jiaming's class appeared in the third row, because there were forty-nine students in the class, there was just one more person in the four rows, so Zhang Jiaming volunteered to take on the chorus conductor work, and it has been more than three years since he came back.
Zhang Jiaming turned his back to the audience, waved his baton in a dashing manner, signaled the music to go, and the song also sounded with the music, "Please bring my song back to your home, please leave your smile, please bring my song back to your home......"
The chorus of the first class won warm applause from the audience, and Zhang Jiaming, on behalf of the whole class, turned around and bowed to the audience, and then left the stage in an orderly manner with the students.
Lin Na's solo show was ranked sixth, after getting off the stage, she took her bag to the dressing room next to her to change her clothes, five minutes later, Lin Na came out in a lotus lotus dress, her hair has been coiled into a bun, and it is also embellished with crystal rhinestone ornaments, this outfit makes people feel a little mature, and a classmate with a pen name called Xiao Qingliang has already seen the enthusiasm.
"Next, please listen to the song "The Affection of Green Leaves to the Roots", sung by Lin Na, a student in the first class of junior high school." The hostess announces the curtain.
Lin Na smiled, two hands with the skirt of the stage, as soon as Lin Nafu appeared, I heard bursts of excited cheers from the audience, it seems that Lin Na will definitely sit on the title of Yangjiang No. 3 Lieutenant Colonel at the end of the song, no, I also have to strive to be a colonel!
"Don't ask me where I'm going, my heart is attached to you, don't ask me where I'm going, my love is holding you, I'm a green leaf for you, my roots are in your land, farewell to you in the spring breeze......"
As soon as Lin Na opened her mouth, the audience was silent, and the beautiful girl's singing voice lingered in the sky above the entire Grand Theater, and even the well-informed Zhang Jiaming suddenly gave birth to the illusion that this song should only be in the sky, until the audience resounded with warm applause and cheers that Zhang Jiaming's consciousness returned to the world.
As soon as Lin Na returned to the backstage with a charming smile on her face, a group of girls surrounded her like stars holding the moon, chattering and praising her.
At this time, Zhang Jiali and several classmates also entered the lounge, and Zhang Jiali's program was relatively late, so she came late.
"Sister!" Zhang Jiaming smiled and leaned over to say hello.
"Jiaming, Lin Na is dressed so beautifully today, like a little fairy! Well, it sings better! Zhang Jiali said to her brother with a smile.
"Sister, your singing is no worse than Lin Na, I am optimistic about you!" Zhang Jiaming waved his fist to cheer up his sister.
"Pick up the good ones to make my sister happy, but sister, I still have self-knowledge! Oh yes, Jiaming, you're the first to appear, and I'll have to be your accompanist when I go back! Zhang Jiali said.
"Ninth, it's time for me to appear after singing on stage, sister, you have to play it for me!" Zhang Jiaming said
"Well, don't worry!" Zhang Jiali nodded vigorously.
At this time, the voice of the host Xiao Bin came from the stage, "Please listen to the song "White Birch Forest" below, the singer, Zhang Jiaming, a student in the first class of junior high school, please applaud warmly!" ”
Zhang Jiaming heard that Xiao Bin gave himself more of the curtain this time than others, and said the sentence "Please applaud warmly".
"Jiaming is your turn, let's hurry up to the stage!" Zhang Jiali urged.
"Hmm!" Zhang Jiaming nodded.
Zhang Jiaming wore a crisp white shirt on his upper body and navy blue trousers on his lower body, and came to the microphone generously, turned around and nodded to his sister sitting in front of the electronic piano to start, Zhang Jiali talked about the prelude to the song "White Birch Forest" very skillfully.
Zhang Jiaming closed his eyes slightly and opened his singing voice with great devotion, "The quiet village is full of white snow, pigeons are flying under the hazy sky, and the birch trees are engraved with two names, they swear to love each other for the rest of their lives, one day the war burned to his hometown, and the young man picked up his gun and ran to the frontier ......"
Zhang Jiaming finished singing the song "White Birch Forest" very carefully, and the audience immediately burst into very warm applause and the screams of several girls.
Zhang Jiaming returned backstage and was also treated as a star, while Zhang Jiali was willing to stand next to her younger brother like a green leaf, with a happy smile on her face.
Zhang Jiaming and Lin Na's performance ended perfectly, and both of them returned to their seats in their classes in the theater to continue watching the rest of the performance.
Zhang Jiali is the penultimate appearance, Zhang Jiaming saw that the flower silk scarf tied around his sister's neck was bought for her on Fuyou Road when he went to Huhai to participate in the National Book Fair that year.
"Mom, I want to say to you, the words came to my mouth and swallowed ......" Zhang Jiali played and sang "Mother in the Candlelight" on stage.
Zhang Jiaming took a closer look at the audience and found that everyone was listening attentively, when Zhang Jiali sang the ** part of the song like crying, Zhang Jiaming saw that a female teacher in front of her left had clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, and her eyes seemed to be a little moist.
At the end of the song, under the warm applause from the audience, Zhang Jiali bowed and thanked and left, Lin Na said to Zhang Jiaming who was sitting next to her: "Jiaming, your sister is not only beautiful, but also sings so well, I have the opportunity to introduce your sister to me, I like your sister so much." ”
"My sister likes you very much, and I'll find an opportunity to introduce you to you when the show is over." Zhang Jiaming replied.
The theatrical performance ended successfully in the chorus of the teachers.
At the door of the theater, Zhang Jiaming called his sisters Zhang Jiali and Lin Na to him, pointed to the two and introduced each other: "This is my sister Zhang Jiali, this is my classmate Lin Na, okay, now that you all know each other, you two will cherish each other alone for a while, I'll go first!" ”
Zhang Jiaming rode the bicycle more than ten meters away and turned to look back, and found that his sister Zhang Jiali and Lin Na were pushing the bicycle side by side, talking and laughing, with an intimate expression like sisters, these two will not really become a concubine relationship in the future, right?
