Sydney Kingsford-Smith International Airport is the aviation hub of the whole Australia, standing in the international terminal, Wang Hao and Su Jing reluctantly waved goodbye to a few little guys, so that they could return home happily.
"When I go back, I can learn English so that I can make friends here. When the Chinese New Year comes, I'll bring you a gift back, okay? He gently stroked the boss's head with his hand, and his words were full of reluctance.
Without the laughter of these children, what would be left of the ranch?
Su Jing squatted down to wipe away the tears on the old man's face with a tissue, and said softly: "Go back and listen to your mother, you are a man, take good care of your younger brothers." You can still come over and play after the holidays. ”
The boss nodded vigorously, because she was choked and couldn't speak, Wang Meng looked a little sad, she gently hugged Su Jing, and then took the hands of a few children and turned around to enter the security check.
Looking at their backs, Su Jing whispered: "Your sister is too bitter, but she still has three such sensible and lovely children." There is no such thing as a feast, and they can video chat after they get off the plane. ”
After Wang Hao saw them disappear completely from sight, he shook his head and threw these bad thoughts aside, and said to Su Jing, who had been with him all the time: "Yes, I'm used to their noise, Pete and they are already reluctant to let these little guys leave." Only the soup dumplings have no heart and lungs, and they only know how to eat, sleep, and watch TV. ”
Gently hugging Su Jing's thin waist, Wang Hao and the two leaned together and walked out slowly, looking at the planes rising and falling from the corner of their eyes, happiness may be close at hand.
Su Jing looks very playful and beautiful today, her face without powder is not as rough as that of a foreign woman, and she looks smart. She deliberately took half a day off from the law firm to run out of the law firm to give Wang Meng and the three little guys a ride, and the next time was the two-person world of her and Wang Hao.
"You're not going to go to the show tonight, are you going to wear something like that?" Su Jing looked at the T-shirt and five-point pants on Wang Hao's body, and said with great interest: "Let's go, let's go shopping and buy a set of clothes, I heard my friend say that it is a high-end and atmospheric place, and it is more important to wear a village." ”
"Isn't it true that going to the opera is the same as going to the cinema? Still wearing formal clothes? Wang Hao, who had never been to such a high-end place, was surprised, he felt that his clothes were very good, and they were very cool in the Australian summer. Those so-called upper-class society don't seem to have anything to do with him, and Wang Hao doesn't know the rules and etiquette inside, so it's better to be an ordinary citizen.
"No, we wear this dress in the street, but in the opera house it becomes conspicuous, so many people are like the two of us are on vacation, which is very eye-catching." Su Jing wanted to clean up Wang Hao's handsome and handsome clothes, and then show them to his girlfriends.
Unable to resist Su Jing, Wang Hao could only agree to buy a set of shirts and trousers here, wearing shirts in such a hot weather is really a bit of a test, he really doesn't know how those foreigners endure it, and now there are reports every day that the number of people suffering from heat stroke is rising.
In the evening, the two came to the Sydney Opera House early. At this time, the setting sun reflects the sky red, and in the glow, the Sydney Opera House is draped in a beautiful neon veil, which contrasts with the majestic Harbour Bridge in the distance, forming an incomparable picture.
Standing on the harbourside, the Sydney Opera House is famous for its unique architecture and countless sensational performances around the world, and its famous sails have become a symbol of Australia and a window to the world about Sydney.
Wang Hao looked at the ticket in Su Jing's hand, and this time he found that tonight's program was "Carmen" performed by the Australian Opera Orchestra, which was a very classic opera or song name, anyway, he felt very familiar.
The intoxicating sea breeze blew on Su Jing's cheeks, bringing up a few strands of green silk, and the two stood outside the slightly old opera house and watched the tourists who kept taking pictures, and looked at the huge promotional poster of "Carmen", which seemed to be a little early today.
There are many posters of performances in the ticket area of the opera house, and the bright red and enthusiastic "Carmen" represents passion and romance, which is particularly conspicuous inside. Tickets to the opera house are not cheap, but they are cheaper than the concerts of celebrities. Tickets start at $80, but it's so far away that it's hard to hear what the non-microphone performers are singing.
The best ticket is 200 Australian dollars, and the ticket in Wang Hao and Su Jing's hands is at this price, the location is quite good, it is relatively close to the stage, and you don't need to deliberately stare your eyes to see it clearly. The most expensive tickets are also the most difficult to buy, and those are the rich people who watch the opera in the box, and the price is not marked at all. A standing ticket of $40 seems to be the best deal, as you can choose to stand in the middle of the pack and sit on it at halftime if you have a free seat.
Estimating that the time was almost up, Wang Hao and the two came to the waiting hall outside the performance hall holding hands, at first glance, the two of them were dumbfounded, there was a drinking party going on here, men and women were dressed very elegantly, men were wearing suits, women were wearing dinner dresses, stepping on high heels and wearing jewelry, at a glance, they understood that it was the people of the Australian high society who were socializing, and they got together to drink and talk.
"Could it be that you are in the wrong place?" Although Su Jing has been in Australia for a long time, she has never encountered such a thing, she asked in a low voice, undecided.
Wang Hao noticed that most of the people attending the reception were around 50 years old, and such a scene had only been seen in foreign movies before, and he felt a little out of tune after he suddenly walked in. He looked at his clothes, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It should be right, there is the ticket gate not far ahead, it is estimated that this time it was chartered, and your friend is also an invited guest." Whatever, now we are guests, and it's not bad to rub a few glasses of wine, and I hope we won't be kicked out by the waiter or the organizer. ”
After the two of them went in and walked around, they found that no one let them out, but on the contrary, everyone they met smiled sincerely, and the waiter handed the champagne just right. The feeling of the drinking party is quite good, after Wang Hao drank a glass of champagne, he came to the ticket gate with Su Jing, this opera is a social activity for these upper-class people, but for Wang Hao it is just a leisure activity.
The person in charge of checking the tickets was an old lady wearing reading glasses, her slightly bloated figure looked like the temperament of the grandmother next door, looking at the tickets in the hands of the two, she showed a bright smile: "No problem, please enjoy the performance inside." ”
Now 15 minutes before the start of the show, after the rest of the people saw the actions of Wang Hao and others, they also walked into the hall with their footsteps. Theater staff stood respectfully at the door in overalls and greeted the audience politely. Seeing Wang Hao and Su Jing come to see the performance for the first time, they couldn't find a seat for a while, so they took the initiative to catch them up and take them to the designated location.
About 600 Australians came to see the show, all dressed up, greeted each other in a friendly manner and talked softly, as if in conversation after a drinking party. The whole theater was very neat, there was not a single scrap of paper on the smooth floor, and the show officially started at 18:30, and no one was late. When the host walked onto the stage and announced the start of the show, the audience immediately fell silent, followed by a round of applause.
The performance was beyond Wang Hao's imagination, and the stage background was two deep walls, all of which were very three-dimensional. The tone of the entire stage is like oil paintings, and there is live accompaniment from the Australian Symphony Orchestra underneath the stage. Since the dialogue of the opera is in French, the screen above the stage has English lines, and although the two do not understand French, they are still intoxicated by the dialogue and singing in French.
The heroine, Carmen, is beautiful, wild, passionate, and uninhibited. Whether it is the stage background, lighting, or the actors' voice and singing skills, Wang Hao can't help but hum the main theme here.
"It's really good, it sounds very comfortable." Wang Hao applauded and whispered to Su Jing, he felt that this time he had come to the right place.
The corners of Su Jing's mouth rose slightly, she was in a pretty good mood, she looked at Wang Hao's side face beside her and replied in a low voice: "I thought you wouldn't like it, since this is the case, if you have a chance to come and see it again next time." ”
"That's a must, this is much more elegant than going to a bar, I should have let Justin be trained in art, and see if he was going to harm the rest of the beauties."
After the vigorous applause, the scene was quiet, except for the singing of the actors on the stage, the rest of the people closed their mouths and watched carefully. In view of this, Su Jing was embarrassed to speak again, she just felt that her hand was gently held by Wang Hao, and a burst of sweetness suddenly came to her heart.
The audience is very knowledgeable, and some of them lead the way in applauding, and they are always on the point. Wang Hao, who sat on the top of the seat and watched the performance carefully, thought to himself that this was like the rich people in China who used to watch Peking Opera, they were rich and cultivated.
In the end, when the heroine came out with all the actors for a curtain call, the flash of the DSLR on the scene kept on, and the audience was not allowed to take pictures until this time.
"It's still early, why don't you have a drink in the open bar outside the opera house?" While Wang Hao got up, he also looked at his watch, it was only nine o'clock in the evening, and it seemed too early to go to bed and rest.
Su Jing picked up the handbag, lightly tapped his smooth neck, and said with a smile: "It's good, I still want to eat some supper, it's a sweet worry to not be fat." ”
The audience came out one after another, without any scramble, and stood together in pairs and chatted about their feelings after watching "Carmen", and Wang Hao heard several words like "amazing" and "wonderful". (To be continued)
