Chapter Ninety-Nine: Changing Face
"Yo, I know a lot."
Li Xiaomeng on the side suddenly interjected in such a strange way, I turned my head to see that she was looking at Wang Yang with a little mockery, and when she finished saying this, Wang Yang's mood that had just improved fell again, and he lowered his head and drank the boiled water in front of her silently.
I said to Li Xiaomeng angrily: "I just know a lot, what's wrong?" Are you jealous? If you have the ability, you can also learn more knowledge. ”
Li Xiaomeng said meaningfully: "I'm not interested, what's the use of knowing this?" I think people just need to know what is useful to them... Or just information, right, Wang Yang? ”
Wang Yang's movements paused slightly, and then continued to drink water, pretending not to hear Li Xiaomeng's question.
Chen Haobei said inexplicably: "It's pretty good to know this knowledge, I didn't understand a single word of what they sang just now, hey, Sister Wang Yang, have you studied these?" ”
Wang Yang reluctantly squeezed out a smile at Chen Haobei and said, "Well, I was interested in these for a while before, and I heard about them, but I can't say that I don't study them." ”
Chen Haobei suddenly realized: "Look, I guessed it, right?" Li Xiaomeng smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Hao is smart." ”
The conversation stopped a little here, because I was thinking about things, what Li Xiaomeng just said gave me a very strange feeling, inexplicably, I think that Wang Yang's recent situation about me may be 'betrayed' by Wang Yang to Li Xiaomeng, but she must not be voluntary.
Wang Yang seems to be a little afraid of Li Xiaomeng, why is this?
Today's opera on stage is very fast, compared with the last dinner, each piece is very short, when all the repertoire is finished, Lao Gu came to the stage to introduce the next show to everyone, which was not seen last time, and can be attributed to a quintessence of Sichuan opera: changing face.
The residents of the community seemed to be very interested in the show, and to be honest, I was also curious, I had only seen it on TV before, and I had never seen this kind of performance in reality, so I focused on the stage.
With the beat of gongs and drums, an actor in standard attire came to the stage, and as soon as he came on stage, in addition to warm applause, there were many laughter and applause, and many neighbors were still laughing and talking about something, and it could be seen that they were talking about the performance on the stage.
"Put your phone away! No video! ”
Suddenly, an aunt's voice sounded, and I turned my head to see that the Mei sisters, Xiaoxi and Li Xiaomeng were all holding their mobile phones to the stage.
Under the aunt's roar, Xiaoxi immediately put away the mobile phone, and glanced at the aunt with a little fear in her eyes, Brother Chao hurriedly whispered a few words of comfort to her, Mei Di'er hesitated for a moment and was about to put away the mobile phone, Mei Tian'er said with a cold face: "Sister, we should pat and record, the mobile phone is our own, there is no need for some idlers to talk too much." ”
Li Xiaomeng was still holding her mobile phone and snorted coldly in the direction of the aunt, not taking the aunt seriously at all.
"I told you to put away your phones, don't you understand? Delete the recorded ones too, hurry up. ”
Another uncle near our table also followed, and then all the neighbors in the neighborhood echoed the uncle and aunt, asking the girls to put away their phones.
The voice grew louder and louder, and the actors on the stage stopped performing, and he was still wearing a heavy mask on his face, so he couldn't see his eyes.
It's obviously not Mei Tian'er's character to put the phone away, but this looks like we have a tendency to become the target of public criticism, and it doesn't seem to work if we don't put it away, the situation is getting more and more deadlocked, and it seems that there are no steps at all.
At this moment, Ah San suddenly trotted all the way over and said, "Okay, okay, everyone is angry, what a big deal, right?" Gu Ye said leave it to me to deal with, and everyone should continue to eat and drink. ”
I don't know if the neighbors are giving Ah San face or giving Lao Gu face, when Ah San finished saying this, the people who were still accusing us in unison just now did all stop talking, but they still stared at our table coldly, as if they wanted to crucify us all with their eyes.
Ah San whispered to us: "What, let's perform on stage, the actor's identity is relatively special, our neighbors don't want to let him overexpose, you also understand more, and we are all taboo to be photographed or videotaped when singing at night, it's unlucky, can you give me a thin noodle?" Just follow the local customs, you see, apart from your table, where is there anyone taking pictures? ”
What Ah San said was indeed the truth, except for our table, no one else took pictures, and there was no one who even took out his mobile phone.
It's just that when my gaze swept over the Sven man who had been staring at me viciously, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable again, and at this moment, a smile finally appeared on the cold face of the Sven man, but instead of being happy, but gloating.
Now that Ah San has given the steps, the Mei sisters and Li Xiaomeng also put away their mobile phones.
Seeing that all of us put away their mobile phones, Ah San smiled with relief, and then said loudly: "Okay, it's just a small misunderstanding, let's go on, hey!" On stage! The show continues! ”
The actor who changed his face nodded, and the gongs and drums sounded again, and suddenly a particularly shrill laughter sounded, almost drowning out the sound of gongs and drums.
The neighbors who were still staring at us, as well as our table, couldn't help but look in the direction where the laughter came from, it was the Sven man just now.
"Hahaha..."
Although he let out a laugh, the pronunciation was simply shouted, and the expression on his face was obviously still in a state of anger, and it was especially like a nervous disorder.
Ah San didn't leave, just stood at our table and watched the Sven man as a demon. Suddenly, the Sven man shouted, "Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! ”
After shouting, he stood up and walked towards us with a large glass of beer.
Walking all the way to Ah San's side, Ah San asked coldly, "What do you want to do?" Sven Nan said, "What do I want to do?" What else can I do? I'm going to come over to toast a few uncles! It's always okay to toast, right? Yes? ”
Ah San didn't mean to get out of the way, but said something that confused me even more than Sven Nan's words: "What? You don't think you're responsible? Besides, Gu Ye didn't do too much, right? As for you? ”
Sven Nan shook his head violently, the magic was that the wine in his hand was not spilled by him, and after shaking his head, he said with a gambling posture: "Not too much, of course not too much, did I say too much?" I'm just toasting, I'm not too much, am I? ”
Speaking of this, Sven Nan's gaze crossed Ah San and looked directly at me and said, "How about the little brother, give me a drink for face?" ”
I looked left and right, pointed my finger at myself with some suspicion and asked, "Are you talking about me?" Sven Nan said with a fake surprise on his face: "That's a must, can you reward a small thin noodle?" ”
Although Sven Nan's words are yin and yang, and he always gives me a feeling of thorns in his words, but since he just wants to have a glass of wine with me, I can't say anything for the sake of so many people.
Ah San has been standing between me and Sven Nan, as if he is afraid that I will fight with him.
Chen Haobei looked at this scene stunned and said, "Qian'er, is this your fan?" Coming all the way to drink with you. Brother Chao asked in a low voice, "Brother Qian, have you offended this person?" I don't think he's right. ”
I shook my head and said that I didn't know this person, but after thinking about it, I picked up my wine glass and got up and said to Sven Nan: "I don't seem to have dealt with you before, since the eldest brother appreciates his face, then the younger brother will accompany you for a drink." ”
After saying that, I wanted to cross Ah San and touch a glass with him, but Sven Nan didn't mean to clink glasses with me, he shouted "Okay!" Then he tilted his head and began to gulp down the wine in his cup.
Seeing his posture, I hurriedly followed his example and drank it.
Today's drinking is a standard one-pound 'pineapple cup', which is also a major feature of Binhai City, the cup is made of glass, the outer wall is made of pineapple-shaped, wide-mouthed, a cup is poured nine minutes full is just a catty, specially used to drink beer.
According to my usual amount of alcohol, this kind of cup should be drunk in two times at the earliest, but when I tried to stop halfway through it, I saw out of the corner of my eye that Sven Nan's glass was almost bottoming out, so I had to continue drinking.
Just when I was about two-thirds of the way I drank with my head up, I suddenly heard Sven Nan burp, and then said, "What an honor, hahahaha..."
In the midst of the laughter, Sven Nan didn't wait for me to finish drinking before turning around and returning to his seat, leaving me alone to continue drinking with my glass awkwardly.
Chen Haobei said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, this person is very sick, right?" Qian'er, that person is out, don't drink it. Ah San also said: "Yes, a thousand, don't drink it, he may just drink too much, don't mind." ”
When I drank about four-fifths of the way, I really couldn't drink it anymore, so I listened to Ah San and Chen Haobei stop drinking donkeys.
Seeing that I stopped, Ah San said: "Okay, as the old saying goes, 'The Son of Heaven still avoids drunkards', right?" Haha, people can do anything two hundred and five things if they drink too much, don't mind a thousand. ”
I pretended to drink too much and said, "That's it, bring me another drink, and tomorrow I will go to the capital to replace the photo in front of the Red City Gate Building with our Uncle Gu's." ”
Ah San was stunned for a moment, but soon understood that I was playing poor, and then laughed twice and said: "Haha, okay, you continue to eat, drink and watch the show, I still have work to do, so I won't accompany you more." ”
After saying that, Ah San said goodbye to our table one by one, and then walked towards the property office alone.
After Ah San left, the change of face on the stage continued, and the neighbors watched the performance with joy as if nothing had happened.
After I sat down again, Wang Yang asked with concern, "Are you okay?" I rubbed my temples and said, "It's okay, it's the first time I've drunk so hard, it's a little bit up, just drink some more." ”
"Hehe, Brother Qian's turn is not yet the turn of some people to care, hypocrisy."
Li Xiaomeng came to such a sentence in a weird way, just now that Sven man made me a little irritable, hearing Li Xiaomeng's words, I slapped the table with the strength of wine and said, "You have so much nonsense there?" Can't you eat quietly and watch the show?! ”
Li Xiaomeng glared at me, ignored me, picked up the wine glass and said to Chen Haobei next to her: "Come, Brother Hao, I will toast you." Chen Haobei picked up the wine glass and touched it with her, and then the two drank at the same time.
Mei Tianer already liked Wang Yang very much, but Li Xiaomeng's appearance of squeezing Wang Yang just now was too ugly, and she finally seized the opportunity at this moment.
Seeing Li Xiaomeng drinking wine, Mei Tianer also said in a weird manner: "Yo, the girl's amount of alcohol looks very professional, which nightclub do you usually work in?" Tell my sister that she will take care of you when she has time. ”
Li Xiaomeng's drinking action also paused slightly, but it was only for a moment, she continued to drink, pretending not to hear Mei Tian'er's obviously aggressive words.
According to Li Xiaomeng's character, presumably she doesn't want to have any head-on conflict with Mei Tian'er, right?
Chen Haobei and Li Xiaomeng each drank half a glass, and after putting down the wine glass, Li Xiaomeng seemed to be a different person, chatting with everyone enthusiastically, and taking the initiative to say a word or two to Wang Yang from time to time, but they were all normal chats, and they also showed a posture of "we are very close", and they didn't squeeze Wang Yang again.
It seems that when she drank that glass of wine just now, Li Xiaomeng also reacted, and in terms of the form on the table, it would not be good for her to 'do' it again.
The face-changing continued, listening to the accompaniment seemed to have reached the climax, the gongs and drums were quite dense, and the tune became very high, and finally in an instant, the sound on the stage stopped abruptly, and the actor who changed his face also finished changing his last fake face, revealing his true face.
It turned out to be the strange-looking neighbor, Xiaoyu.
