Chapter 314
CCTV Spring Festival Gala backstage.
After coming down from the stage, Li Heng hugged Yu Laoshi gently for the first time and said very sincerely: "Thank you Yu Laoshi, you've worked hard!"
Yu Yu Yu Shuheng smiled slightly and whispered in his ear: "You performed very well tonight! Better than any time before! Teacher's emotions were all moved by you, congratulations! Little boy."
Li Heng also felt that his state tonight was better than ever, and he couldn't help but feel a little carried away. This was the Spring Festival Gala, an existence that was unreachable in his previous life, and he had easily conquered it in this life!
Not only conquered it! He also amazed all the audiences at the scene!
Even those peers who were rehearsing, even though they had heard it several times during rehearsals, were still shocked in the depths of their hearts!
This is the charm and persistence of a world-class famous piece!
Even if it's played on a loop for a day, you won't get tired of it.
After hugging for two seconds, Li Heng and Yu Laoshi let go, and then he opened his arms toward Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe with a constant smile:
"Come on, Comrade Zhou Zhou Shihe, let's celebrate."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled cleverly and didn't refuse, hugged him very politely, then let go and asked: "I heard from Suisui that you also created another very moving piece of music?"
Li Heng nodded, "Mm, it's called 'The Last of the Mohicans', actually Seeing Mai Sui hasn't heard it either, I just played it once for Yu Laoshi, when we get home, I'll play it for you guys with the flute."
"Okay."
With a phenomenal work like "The Scenery of the Hometown" in front, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe was vaguely looking forward to his new work.
At this time, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng said: "After tonight, your name will definitely be a household name, why don't you take this opportunity to record your two pieces into a cassette and release them?"
Li Heng pondered for a while, then shook his head: "Two pieces are too few, not good to release. How about I organize my previous thoughts, get a few more pieces of pure music, and then release a mini album."
Hearing this, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe couldn't help but look at each other, and asked with bright eyes: "There's more?"
Li Heng smacked his lips, "Have you forgotten how I conquered you that night? There's plenty of inspiration in my brain, Teacher, you don't even think about it, I'm a man who is proficient in the erhu and flute... Mm-hmm, and I can play the piano too."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe laughed, her gaze wandering quietly between the two, and she felt at ease being a listener.
A sentence "conquered" made Yu Yu Yu Shuheng recall the scene where this little boy in front of her took the erhu out of the study out of spite that night and played "The Last of the Mohicans" in front of her very domineeringly.
Yu Laoshi moved her gaze away and greeted the two: "Let's go, let's go to the audience area, don't stay here too long."
"Mm."
When they appeared in the studio hall again, many audiences' eyes drifted over, and some even picked up cameras to photograph the three.
However, people who can come to the scene to watch the Spring Festival Gala in this day and age are all people with status and a certain social standing, so they take a photo appropriately and stop, not bombing with lenses like paparazzi.
In other words, people taking photos in this day and age purely like you and have been conquered by your awesome performance.
Passing by Huang Huang Huang Zhaoyi, seeing the other party staring at him intently, Li Heng nodded at her instinctively.
Just with this nod, a smile bloomed on Huang Huang Huang Zhaoyi's face that had never been seen before, and she also nodded in response.
Honestly, they had already watched it several times during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals, and now they had to watch it again, so all the peers were a little visually exhausted. But everyone was a decent person with the most basic professional quality, so they still tried their best to be the best audience, clapping when they should clap, shouting when they should shout, and finishing their last day of work.
Midnight bell, the big leader gives New Year's greetings, video clips of the overseas students' party.
After celebrating the midnight bell, there were 6 more programs, namely the song "Descendants of the Dragon", the sketch "Doorbell Sounds", the inserted Sichuan TV program, the crosstalk "Cleverly Establishing Names", and the "Journey to the West" actors' performance program.
The last program was the closing song, all the performing actors went on stage and sang "We Are Friends" together facing the audience.
Just standing on the stage, Li Heng's brain stuttered a bit, scratched his head and said to Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe beside him:
"Comrade Zhou Zhou Shihe, I've read too many literature materials these past two days, I've forgotten the lyrics again."
Alright, focused on writing and rehearsing "The Scenery of the Hometown", he only read the lyrics of this last song a few times on the first day, and later forgot it to Yunnan and Sichuan.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly and took the initiative to walk two steps closer to him.
Li Heng muttered, "Sing a little louder later."
"Mm." Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe gave a soft 'mm'.
Niu Qun in front heard the conversation between the two, turned his head and gave him a thumbs up secretly, teasing: "Brother Li Heng, I've never heard you sing it completely once."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe looked at him with a smile.
Li Heng was speechless, he thought others didn't know, but he didn't expect people to be so clear, damn Brother Niu, why are your ears so sharp?
The prelude to the closing song was roaring, everyone stood up properly, and then opened their mouths to sing together.
For a full 3 minutes or so, Li Heng sang the whole thing for 6 sentences, and spent the rest of the time slacking off, and don't say, Zhou Gu Niang's voice was very pleasant, and she sang with quite a bit of charm.
When the song was finished, all the performers were relieved; although being able to participate in the Spring Festival Gala in this era was an incomparably glorious thing, it was indeed a toss-up, rehearsing back and forth for a month, for fear of making a mistake, otherwise it wouldn't just be you who lost face, but this year's Spring Festival Gala would lose face with you in front of the people of the whole country, and lose face in front of the people of the world.
May I ask? Who dares to carry this pot?
No way, can only work hard and conscientiously.
"Finally over, let's go." After all the ceremonies were completed, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng greeted Li Heng and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe to leave.
"Brother Li Heng, let's have a drink when we come to Beijing next time, do you remember the address where I live?" Feng Gong asked enthusiastically when leaving the studio hall.
"Remember! Remember! Must find you for a drink when I come to Beijing next time." Li Heng answered as such.
Walking all the way, greeting all the way, they were the same people when they came, and they were still the same people when they went back, but the state of mind at this moment was completely different, inexplicably, tired as they were, there was still a trace of reluctance.
Met Mao Amin again, she originally wanted to greet Li Heng, but after receiving Yu Yu Yu Shuheng's look, she immediately lost her courage and stood on the spot watching the three walk away.
The singer Cheng Lin beside her asked: "Are you very disappointed?"
Mao Amin didn't answer, but said: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, go to my place to drink."
"Ha, you are the first person to drink alone on New Year's Eve, I will accompany you tonight." Cheng Lin said with a laugh.
Walking out of CCTV, Cheng Lin said: "Actually, it's better not to have any intersection, so as not to be more sad in the future."
Mao Amin understood her friend's thoughts and said desolately: "He doesn't belong to people like us."
This sentence was just heard by Huang Huang Huang Zhaoyi who came out behind. Looking at the three Li Heng who had already walked far away, her originally great mood also became a bit low.
The New Year's Eve in Beijing was livelier than imagined, with lanterns and streamers everywhere, walking along the alley, the sound of people shouting to drink could be heard from time to time, and those who were in high spirits hadn't even slept yet.
Opening the door, the three walked into the courtyard one after another, Li Heng was shivering with cold: "This is too cold, Teacher, did the weather forecast say the weather is going to change again?"
Yu Yu Yu Shuheng answered: "The forecast says heavy snow tomorrow, don't know if it will affect our travel the day after tomorrow."
"Heavy snow again, this is the third time this month, why is it endless." Li Heng muttered, it was much warmer when he got into the house, and after taking a hot bath and soaking his feet, the whole person finally came alive again.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled nearby and asked gently: "I feel like your body is quite good usually, exercising every morning, why are you so afraid of the cold?"
"I don't know either, but it's just freezing cold."
Li Heng sighed, "Sigh, Beijing and I don't get along, fortunately I went to Shanghai for university."
Yu Yu Yu Shuheng came out of the shower room, wiping her hair with a dry towel while saying: "It's probably because your clothes aren't warm enough, Zhou Zhou Shihe and I both wear wool sweaters inside, your wool sweater looks bulky, but the cold-proof effect isn't necessarily good."
"Is that so, I was just saying, I'm wearing thicker clothes than you guys, why is it not right." Li Heng first touched his wool sweater, then reached out to Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe's body, lifted a corner of her hem, and rolled the wool sweater inside with his fingers.
After rolling, he muttered "Indeed wool sweaters are much better", then got up and went to the room.
Leaving the dazed Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe and the squinting Yu Yu Yu Shuheng in the main room.
Damn it! Tell you to be handsy, do you think they are Xiao Han and Chen Chen Zijin, touching people's clothes at will?
Once the door was closed, Li Heng, who realized it later, cursed himself, then sat on the sofa sighing.
For a long time, he found the county annals of the surrounding areas of Bai Bai Bai Luyuan and studied them seriously.
An hour later, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe came in.
She glanced at someone who was buried in reading, turned around and gently closed the door, and walked toward the bed.
"Wasn't intentional before, sorry."
"Mm."
He didn't look back and said this abruptly.
She didn't blame him, just responded with a simple 'mm'.
"Are you sleepy?"
"It's okay."
"It's okay? That means you're sleepy, then turn off the lights and sleep." Li Heng put down the materials in his hand, took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, pulled the switch rope at the end of the bed: "I'm turning off the lights?"
"Okay." Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe also took off her shoes and sat on the bed.
With a 'pia' sound, the room fell into darkness.
After waiting a while, until he didn't make any sound and got into the quilt, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe said:
"I just discussed with Yu Laoshi, we will get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning to make New Year's Eve dinner, striving to eat the first meal of the New Year while it's getting light."
Li Heng asked: "Same custom as my hometown, you guys do this too?"
"Mm."
"It's already almost 3 o'clock, then let's not talk, hurry up and sleep." He looked at his watch and said.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe sat quietly on the bed, and only after his sleeping breathing sound came did she slowly take off her clothes and lie down.
For sleeping, two hours was simply too fast, it felt like she had just closed her eyes and it was already time.
"Great writer, Happy New Year!"
Seeing him open his eyes, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, who was standing by the bed and shaking him awake, smiled weakly.
"Uh, Happy New Year! Is it 5 o'clock?" Li Heng asked confusedly.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe nodded slightly, then took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to him with both hands: "Wish you good health and all your wishes come true in the New Year!"
"Ah? There's a red envelope for me too?"
Li Heng exclaimed, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly, then he said embarrassedly: "I didn't prepare one, how can I be embarrassed to take yours."
"The first red envelope of the New Year cannot be refused, this is luck." Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe said gently.
"That's right, you are the Great King, indeed can't refuse ha." Remembering her luck of winning every time she played cards, Li Heng immediately stopped being pretentious and hurriedly reached out to take it, "Thank you, this is the happiest thing I've woken up to in the New Year."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "On the first day of the New Year, men shouldn't give red envelopes to others."
Li Heng's eyes widened, "You guys are so particular? No wonder you can afford a piano worth hundreds of thousands."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly: "I just don't want you to return the red envelope to me."
Li Heng asked: "What about tomorrow? Tomorrow won't work either."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe shook her head.
Looking at each other, after a while Li Heng said: "Then when we go back to school, I'll treat you to noodles in the cafeteria."
"Okay."
This time Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe didn't refuse again, and then left the room.
A minute later, Li Heng followed out of the room and said to Yu Yu Yu Shuheng who had just finished washing up: "Yu Laoshi, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" Yu Yu Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded, it was New Year's Eve, finally not an iceberg anymore.
Li Heng walked up to her and stopped on the spot.
Yu Yu Yu Shuheng looked at him, walked two steps, and looked back at him again.
Li Heng extended his hand to her at the right time, the meaning was very clear: Red envelope red envelope!
Yu Yu Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, took out a very thick red envelope from her pocket and handed it to him, saying meaningfully: "I knew you would definitely ask me for a red envelope."
Li Heng grinned and smiled, and while taking the red envelope, he didn't forget to send his blessings: "Wish Teacher to be more and more beautiful, forever 18 years old."
Yu Yu Yu Shuheng glanced at the direction of the washroom, stepped back and whispered in his ear: "Just called your Aunt Shen Xin this morning, she gave me an order, to catch you home this year."
Li Heng was speechless, only feeling his ears hot and the tip of his nose fragrant.
Seeing him choked and unable to speak, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng said mischievously: "Little boy is really not teased, hurry up and wash up and cook, otherwise the sky will be bright soon. Also, don't return the red envelope to me, I'm not short of money."
"Eh, alrighty."
Li Heng stuffed the red envelope into his pocket and happily entered the washroom.
At this time, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe had already finished brushing her teeth and was washing her face; seeing him staring quietly at her side profile as soon as he entered the door, she paused, then continued washing her face, pretending not to know.
Half a minute passed, she slowly hung up the towel, bypassed him, and walked out quietly.
Once someone left, Li Heng started the mode of brushing his teeth and washing his face at speed.
There were 8 dishes for New Year's Eve dinner, the three had a clear division of labor, Li Heng and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe were the main chefs, and Yu Laoshi helped out.
Li Heng was responsible for making 5 dishes: chopped pepper fish head, spicy diced chicken, Mao Xue Wang, boiled fish, and stir-fried pork kidney.
The remaining crab roe lion's head, boiled dried silk, and Wensi tofu were made by Zhou Gu Niang.
Li Heng's Hunan cuisine was made in the style of Jianghu cuisine, paying attention to being fast, accurate, and ruthless, usually a dish in a few minutes, like chopped pepper fish head, which took about 10 minutes.
And stir-fried pork kidney was even shorter, from the pan to the start, less than 25 seconds.
So don't look at it as 5 dishes, actually the time spent was not even half of Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe's three dishes.
After finishing 5 dishes in one go, he asked with a smile: "Do you need my help?"
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe looked at him and said: "No need, you still have to write books during the day, go rest for a while, we'll call you when the food is ready."
"Done."
She could make up for sleep during the day, but his time was relatively tight, had to hurry up and finish the third and fourth chapters of "Bai Bai Bai Luyuan".
Around 6:40 in the morning, it was snowing outside, but it didn't hinder the Beijing folks' favor for the New Year at all, it was already noisy.
"Li Heng, wake up, time to eat." Yu Yu Yu Shuheng came to the sofa, bent down and woke him up.
Li Heng first had no movement, after two seconds he opened his eyes abruptly, then sat up in one go, subconsciously looked outside, it was dark and not bright.
Coming to the table, the three sat down as usual.
Yu Laoshi sat in the middle, Li Heng on the left, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe on the right.
But after Yu Yu Yu Shuheng stared at him for two seconds, she stood up and said to him: "Today is New Year, New Year New Atmosphere, I'll switch seats with you."
"Don't, you are my teacher, my elder, should sit in the upper position." Li Heng declined.
But was declining useful?
No use at all.
Yu Yu Yu Shuheng persuaded him with a light sentence, "With your current status and position, you are in a superior position wherever you go, a scholar who pursues honor has no reason to be willing to be inferior to others."
"Fine, then I won't be polite." Unable to refuse, Li Heng ultimately chose to accept.
After dishing out the rice, each poured a glass of Erguotou, and then the two women looked at him together, neither moving their chopsticks.
Facing each other, Li Heng realized, Yu Laoshi's right to speak at the dining table was transferred to him today, he picked up the glass and said:
"New Year's Eve dinner, celebrating reunion. May we be safe and satisfied every year, and have good fortune and longevity every year. Come, Happy New Year, cheers!"
"Happy New Year! Cheers!"
Yu Yu Yu Shuheng and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe were full of joy, the three glasses clinked, and each took a sip.
Seeing that his first chopstick was going to pick up the crab roe lion's head, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe reminded: "I wrapped a coin in one of the lion's heads."
To make the surface of the coin clean, she specially boiled it in boiling water for a few minutes to disinfect it, and brushed it for a long time, the meaning was to get rich.
Li Heng laughed: "Come come come, let's pick together, see who picks the one with the coin."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled quietly and said: "I seem to recognize which one it is, but I'm not particularly sure either."
Li Heng and Yu Yu Yu Shuheng looked at each other and gave a suggestion, "I'll pick for Comrade Zhou Zhou Shihe, Comrade Zhou Zhou Shihe picks for Yu Laoshi, Yu Laoshi picks for me. Mm, right, Zhou Zhou Shihe you pick last."
The two women accepted, looking at the tips of his chopsticks.
Li Heng's chopsticks circled above the lion's head, finally closed his eyes and picked one randomly for Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, the latter also picked one randomly for Yu Laoshi.
Yu Laoshi didn't pick randomly, identified it for a small moment before picking the one she thought was most likely to have a coin for Li Heng.
The three looked at each other, he gave the order: "Come, eat while it's hot."
The three buried their heads and ate, all relatively careful, for fear of swallowing the coin, as a result, he and Yu Laoshi had no harvest after eating.
Seeing the two looking at her, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, who ate the slowest, smiled lightly, "It's with me, I knew it when Li Heng picked the lion's head."
Li Heng was speechless: "So you accompanied us two to perform a play afterward?"
At the same time, he couldn't help but think of a sentence from Editor Sister Sister Liao: Among the girls around him, in terms of good fortune, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe is the best.
