Chapter 154

"Sings well! When I was begging for food back in the day, even our Gai Gang's gang leader couldn't sing this well."

The bride nearly laughed out loud.

"She's a proper big star, and you're comparing her to the Gai Gang gang leader?"

Su Meng on stage had already begun to sing.

"A child getting married makes dad happy, joyful and full of celebration."

"When drinking water, don't forget who dug the well; when getting married, don't forget your parents' grace."

"Travel the north, brave the south, next I'll sing of the hardship of raising a child."

"Raising a child is hard, truly hard; the moment a baby is born, money starts to flow."

"Buy formula, buy cloth diapers, buy strings of nutritional gifts."

"Have a son, a precious egg; watch him over and over day and night."

"Over one year old, learning to walk; parents work even harder."

"One step he takes, one step you follow; every step needs guarding from behind."

"Over three years old, off to school; take a stroll around the kindergarten."

"Picking up and dropping off several times a day; miss him after just a little while apart."

"Dropping off, picking up, tending to the son without a break."

"At seven or eight, studies go badly; the moment school's out, he runs all over."

"Father and mother anxiously search everywhere, afraid he went to wash in the river…"

Listening to Su Meng sing of how parents endured every hardship to raise their son, the groom's eyes suddenly reddened.

He couldn't help but recall how, from childhood to adulthood, his parents had fed him… raised him, bit by bit.

Although these were not his biological parents, the grace of raising him was greater than the heavens!

Having thought this through, the groom felt as if a ten-thousand-catty boulder had suddenly been lifted from his heart, and his whole person relaxed at once.

He broke into a smile, grasped his father's hand, and said with deep feeling.

"Dad! Although you're not my real dad, and I'm not your biological son."

"But I will definitely treat you as my real father and take care of you!"

"After you pass on, I will wear mourning clothes and mourning hat to see you to the end…"

What the heck?

His father was completely dumbfounded.

Hearing him talk more and more absurdly, he truly couldn't hold back any longer.

A slap came flying up.

"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"How are you not my real dad… pah! How am I not your real dad?"

"How are you not my own flesh and blood?"

The groom covered his face, completely dumbfounded.

"Dad, wasn't it you who said it?"

"You said I was picked up by you, in the cornfield…"

"Oh, you mean that!" The old father suddenly had a revelation.

"You really were picked up in the cornfield."

"Because the time your mom got pregnant with you, the two of us were in the cornfield…"

"You old lecher, what are you saying!" A slap came flying over from the side.

This father and son pair covered their faces, in exactly the same gesture; anyone who saw them would know they were a real father and son.

Although his face hurt, the groom's heart was incomparably joyful.

So this really is my real dad, and I really was picked up in the cornfield…

Huh? Cornfield?

The groom suddenly seemed to remember, and instinctively looked toward the bride.

Just at that moment, the bride also looked toward him, and their gazes met squarely.

Cornfield… seems rather interesting…

……

Su Meng did not show off too much; he simply sang one song completely serious, then yielded the stage.

The three great female stars also took turns coming up, each singing a song.

Deng Ziqi needs no introduction—she is a professional singer, a powerhouse vocalist.

Although Liu Tianxian and Boss Yang are actresses, they can still sing.

Though their singing level… hmm… well, it's passable.

But in an occasion like this, the quality of vocal prowess isn't that important.

All three chose festive, cheerful songs, making the atmosphere on site livelier and livelier.

When it was Xiao Yueyue's turn to perform, the atmosphere became even more fervent.

After all, compared to the others, Xiao Yueyue's popularity in the countryside was actually a bit higher.

Xiao Yueyue also chose a festive kuaiban piece, winning thunderous applause.

"Friends! Next I'll sing you a song."

"This is a song I wrote myself, called 'Cancer,' I hope everyone likes it!"

Hua Chenyu couldn't wait to leap onto the stage and shouted loudly.

But no matter how enthusiastically he shouted, the middle-aged and elderly folks in the audience below exchanged glances, faces blank with confusion.

Cancer?

Who would have thought this child, so young, had already contracted such a terminal illness?

The lively atmosphere on the scene chilled in an instant.

"Wooooo~~~~~"

"Ahhhh~~~~~"

"Oh oh oh~~~~~"

"Lickity lickity lickity~~~~~"

On stage, Hua Hua Chenyu's body displayed all sorts of bizarre, contorted twists.

The degree of those contortions simply exceeded the limits of the human body.

And from his mouth came all manner of strange, outlandish sounds.

The crowd below watched, dumbstruck.

Holy shit, is he performing some kind of ritual?

……

When the song was done, Hua Hua Chenyu wore a face full of smugness.

"Thank you, everyone! Thank you for your applause…"

But the words froze halfway out.

The scene was cold and quiet; everyone was staring at him dumbstruck — where was even a scrap of applause?

Pfft! Country bumpkins! You don't know the first thing about appreciation!

Hua Hua Chenyu spat viciously in his heart.

Just then, a sudden wail rose from below the stage, startling everyone.

Following the sound, the one weeping with old tears streaming down was none other than the groom's grandfather.

Everyone was dumbfounded — Master, what on earth are you crying about?

Hua Hua Chenyu, face still full of smugness, thought: See? My music does have its appreciators.

The old Master cried for a while, wiped the tears from his face, and walked to the front of the stage.

He took a careful look at Hua Hua Chenyu, then said loudly.

"Xiaobing!"

"Grandpa, I'm right here." The groom started, then hurried up.

"Go to the back kitchen and bring me a roast chicken."

Huh? Everyone was dumbfounded — what are you getting a roast chicken for?
