Chapter 144 Preliminary Round
No one knew the Liu family's final plan, and everyone in the family kept silent.

However, the show of Pan Yingying and her husband was exposed early on.

They decided to sing, and they specially went to the North District to invite people who could play various musical instruments and sing. They didn't even rehearse at home, but went to an empty factory in the West District.

After listening to the suona version of "As Long As I Have You", Pan Yingying felt sick. She dreamed that Yu Chaosheng was kneeling on one knee with a handful of valuables in his hands, and then confessed his love to her, "Yingying, I love you. Take this money and you will be mine."

She was so frightened awake that she kicked the culprit off the kang.

Yu Chaosheng rubbed his butt and climbed onto the kang, turning on the desk lamp. Pan Yingying had already closed her eyes and pretended to be soundly asleep. He sighed helplessly, carefully held her in his arms, and fell asleep again.

Pan Yingying secretly curled her lips.

……

……

Yu Chaosheng is a man who knows a little bit about everything. The maids and servants came to him to learn the money-grabbing dance, and they have been rehearsing it every day these days.

People passing by thought that they were going to perform a ritual of heavenly master, and they thought that they were worthy of being the ones serving the golden boy and jade girl, and maybe in a hundred years they would be able to ascend to heaven with their family.

Liu Ru was wearing a small scholar's outfit, with her hair tied into a small bun on top of her head and a small oil-paper umbrella tucked under her armpit. Miaolan carried her to the ox cart, and Ding Siyi waved the whip, and the carriage carried the little girl to the garment factory.

She had just finished rehearsal and was now going to see the clothes the aunts had made for their show.

When she met Yu Chuner and Yu Qiuer at the gate of the garment factory, she greeted them happily.

"Sister Qiuer, what are you going to perform?" The little girl blinked her big eyes, looking innocent and naive.

But she knew that if she asked Sister Qiu'er, she might be able to find out, but if she asked Sister Chun'er, she would definitely get nothing because Sister Chun'er always kept her mouth shut.

Yu Chuner glanced at her sister calmly. The eleven-year-old girl now looked not only steady but also had an indescribable aura.

Yu Qiuer chuckled and asked the little girl who had just reached her shoulders, "Are you going to perform "White Snake"?"

Liu Ru nodded and didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

"I'll dress up as Xu Xian." She turned around on the spot, "How do you think it is? This student uniform belongs to my brother, and my mother altered it to be smaller for me."

Yu Chuner took two steps back and looked at the style carefully. "I think I can talk to my aunt about it. We will also make such student uniforms when school starts after the New Year."

Yu Qiuer hummed, "I really don't want to wear shorts anymore. My hair isn't well maintained to begin with. Who can tell me apart from those stinky boys when I go out? My uncle's aesthetic taste is just that."

She was very disgusted, but she really wronged Yu Chaosheng this time.

Because the style of the school uniform was decided by her most admired aunt, and had nothing to do with her uncle. Her uncle had tried to stop it at first, but failed.

The school uniform issue was considered as a big scapegoat that Yu Chaosheng made Pan Yingying take, but no one believed him even after he explained it. People all thought that the aesthetic was his own doing.

The three girls looked at each other and laughed out loud.

The three of them walked into the garment factory. Xiao Wang and Wu Shuxian were already busy, and the sewing machines were making a creaking sound.

They took advantage of this and could come to the garment factory during their holidays to use sewing machines to make clothes for the competition.

Yu Chun'er and Yu Qiu'er were going to perform a double-player pitching-pot performance. Xiao Wang used the material that Pan Yingying had given her before to make two identical riding suits for them, and also to make performance costumes for their whole family to wear when they sang folk songs.

Yes, Yu Laoer was a rough farmer, but he was persuaded by his wife and daughter to sing a little ditty. Just thinking about it makes me shed tears.

Wu Shuxian is making Fahai's robes because she often went to the temple to burn incense when she was in Jiangnan and knew what the robes looked like.

The two men were so busy that they didn't even look up. When they saw them come in, they just asked them to go to the office to try on their clothes first and then make some changes when they came out to see the situation.

The three little girls tried on the clothes with great laughter and found that they all fit well. They went out and showed themselves in front of their mothers, and then quickly changed them off.

It cannot get dirty or wrinkled, this is their "battle suit".

……

…Rehearsals were in full swing, and finally, the day of the preliminary round arrived.

The weather was nice today, there was no wind or snow, and the sun was out.

Everyone in Taoyuan Village gathered in the village’s newly built gymnasium, which is also known as the Grand Parade Ground. Although no one knew why Yu Chaosheng named it that, it was right to follow his lead.

There are no judges in the competition. Everyone in the audience carries a bag of bamboo sticks as notified in advance. After the show is over, someone will go to collect the sticks with a box labeled with the show name. The results of all contestants will be announced at the same time after their performances.

In other words, everyone present is a judge.

After a gong sounded, Yu Chaosheng stood on the stage, explained the rules with a loud speaker, and then announced the official start of the competition.

The first performance was a double act, and the contestants were the two brothers Wang Youcai and Wang Yougen.

The show was just average, lacking in heart, and the on-site response was not very enthusiastic.

Everyone has been baptized by countless storybooks, and ordinary double acts can no longer arouse their interest.

Next came Pan's "The Seven Joyful Fairies". As soon as the performers came on stage, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Pan Dajin was wearing a red padded jacket and a skirt of the same color. Judging from the pattern and style, it was probably the clothes Zhao wore when she was young. She had a big red flower on her head and a fluffy black thing on her collar.

As soon as she stepped onto the stage, Pan Dajin, who had painted her lips red, posed like a girl, her face flushed red, and she pinched her throat and said, "I am Honghong."

The sound was heard from far away through the speakers, and the whole audience exclaimed in unison.

Although I read in the newspaper last night that there would be a "magic weapon" to assist in today's competition, I didn't expect it to be a "magic weapon" that can amplify the sound several times.

Pan Dajin posed, and Pan Li limped onto the stage in an orange jacket and skirt, grunting and struggling for a long time before uttering "I am Chengcheng", and then stood there without saying anything else.

Someone below was chuckling, "He must have been beaten by Da Jin, otherwise why are his legs useless?"

Pan Dayin, Pan Lian and Liu Juhua floated out from behind the curtain one after another.

Pan Dayin: "I am Huang Huang."

Pan Lian: "I am Lulu."

Liu Juhua: "I am Qingqing."

The three of them stood still, and Pan Datie and Zhao Meixiang came out.

Zhao Meixiang: "I'm Lanlan."

Pan Datie: "I, I am ￥%&..."

There was an audience member who wanted to watch the fun and asked at the top of his voice, "Who are you?"

Pan Datie: ...

He glared at the man unhappily, and when he found out it was his own little bastard, he almost wanted to take off his shoes and throw him away.

If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have been turned into the Seven Fairies.

After the game, I will hang these two little bastards up and beat them up!
The last to come on stage were Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Pan. They were both wearing new clothes and their hair was combed meticulously. To the sound of "celestial music" played by a magical instrument called "sound", they counted the beats and sang the Huangmei Opera "The Legend and the Heroine".

The seven fairies of "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple" began to dance in an uncoordinated manner, swinging their sleeves to accompany the Huangmei Opera sung by the two old men...

　My dad was injured at work and came to the hospital to take care of him.

　　Seeing my ranking rising, I feel really grateful to everyone who read my articles, voted for me, and commented on them.

　　Refill.
