Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 38 Rehearsal
Since I want to perform on stage, I have to practice in advance. I haven't cooperated with everyone's busy things for many years, and my hands are born.

During the day, everyone goes to work and has no time to take care of the business, so they have to put it in the evening, practice a few times and then go to Liu Yimin's tavern to perform.

The training location was found by Zhang Yang, which is near Chaoyang, and the price is 60 yuan per hour.Instruments were provided by Liu Yimin and Zhang Yang.

Today was Tuesday, and on the first day of training, Du Hui did not expect something to happen. The three of them stood in the training room and waited for almost an hour without seeing Du Hui.

Zhang Yang was suddenly a little unhappy: "Holly, I thought you couldn't come on time to take care of Tongtong by yourself. I didn't expect it to be Du Hui. He is alone now, and the whole family is not hungry. What's the matter?"

"Tongtong is on summer vacation, and basically stays at his grandma's and grandpa's house. Sometimes when I come back on weekends, I'm more relaxed." Yu Dongqing explained with a smile.

"No, I'll call this guy!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but took out his phone.

"Forget it, maybe there's a traffic jam on the road, and it's not easy to answer the phone when driving. He lives near Qinghe, which is far away." Yu Dongqing hurriedly persuaded.

"It's probably about the child. I heard that he and his ex-wife are fighting for custody." Liu Yimin said suddenly.

"Isn't the child awarded to his ex-wife?" Yu Dongqing asked curiously.

"I heard that his ex-wife found her husband again, and that man treated the child badly, so he decided to ask for custody of the child back." Liu Yimin said.

"Hey"

Yu Dongqing sighed.

Adults get divorced, but children are the most pitiful.

"Here we come, here we come." At this moment, Du Hui was seen hurrying in, his head was covered with sweat.

"Sorry, buddy, there's a traffic jam on the road." Du Hui explained with a smile.

"Old Du, are you okay?" Zhang Yang asked again deliberately.

"What can I do?" Du Hui asked back: "Come on. Hurry up and practice quickly."

Liu Yimin played the drums silently, Yu Dongqing looked very casual holding the guitar, Zhang Yang wore sunglasses and held the bass, walking back and forth with the rhythm and even jumping, looking arrogant and unruly.

But Du Hui is like a poet holding the keys. No matter how many ways the song expresses, he will always stand quietly behind, bow his head and play the keyboard quietly, without moving, sometimes even without moving his footsteps. Like an old monk entering meditation.

This is their singing style, and it has not changed for many years.

For three nights in a row, Yu Dongqing and three buddies stayed here. In addition to practicing the songs sung by the band before, the focus was on the two love songs written by Yu Dongqing. Everyone practiced the songs, played the piano, and talked about the embarrassing things in the past , life is very happy.

Today is Friday, and we made an appointment to sing at Yimin's Ten Mile Peach Blossom Tavern at [-] o'clock. Yu Dongqing called his mother-in-law in the afternoon, saying that some of their friends were going to sing at Liu Yimin's Tavern tonight, to help increase popularity. Please let them take care of Tongtong for another night, and he will come to pick her up early tomorrow morning.

Mother-in-law Liu Huiyan knew that Yu Dongqing had such a friend, so she agreed, saying that you are busy with your work, and Tongtong is fine with us, so don't worry.

When it was time to get off work, Yu Dongqing suddenly received a call from his sister-in-law Mingmei.

"Brother-in-law, your Qingmanshoe band is coming back? I want to listen too!" Mingmei looked very excited on the phone.

"What's coming back? We're just playing around and having fun." Yu Dongqing corrected.

"I'm going too! My sister has seen you sing, but I've never seen it before. I'll bring Tongtong along so she can watch Dad's performance!"

Originally, Yu Dongqing didn't want her daughter to come to these places too early, but she couldn't bear Mingmei's pleading and agreed, and took her home after playing for a while.

After dinner in the afternoon, Mingmei took Yu Tongtong to Hujialou's house by subway. It was strange to see Yu Dongqing still sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book.

"Brother-in-law, you're going to perform tonight, why don't you dress up properly?" Mingmei looked at Yu Dongqing in her usual white crew-neck shirt, but changed the big pants into casual shorts, and her flip flops into flat canvas shoes. Can't stop asking.

"What kind of show? It's just everyone singing and having fun together. Mingmei, isn't brother-in-law good enough?" Yu Dongqing asked rhetorically.

Mingmei looked at it seriously again.

Although the clothes are very ordinary, not any brand-name goods, and the total cost of the outfit is estimated to be less than 500 yuan, but my brother-in-law is in good shape. He also has that appearance and temperament.

She actually wears an international big-name model!
"Daddy is so handsome!"

Yu Tongtong next to him interjected.

"Baby girl, your little mouth is so sweet!" Yu Dongqing gently pinched her daughter's red face affectionately.

He liked this little girl more and more, she was well-behaved and sweet-mouthed.

Yu Dongqing drove to Liu Yimin's tavern, and brought Mingmei and her daughter in. It was after seven o'clock in the evening, and there were already people inside.

Seeing that Mingmei and Yu Tongtong were also coming, Liu Yimin hurried out of the bar to say that Zhang Yang and Du Hui had come and were in the backyard.

The three of them went out through the back door, and saw the two of them sitting under the peach tree, talking and discussing something while holding a guitar.

The two wore completely new clothes, Du Hui was still wearing a T-shirt and slacks, while Zhang Yang was wearing a white shirt and suspenders, with his back combed and his hair neatly combed. It was not like he was going to sing but to discuss business.

But he likes this attire.

As soon as he saw Yu Dongqing and the others coming in, Zhang Yang greeted them first.

"Hey, Mingmei is here too? It's been a long time since I've seen you, and she's getting more and more beautiful. Would you like me to introduce you to a boyfriend?"

Among the brother-in-law's good friends, Liu Yimin is the oldest and honest, and he doesn't like to make such jokes.Du Hui is a teacher, so he wouldn't meet Mingmei and say these things because of his profession.

There is only Zhang Yang, who says she is beautiful when she sees her, introduces her boyfriend and so on.

Of course, Mingmei knew that the other party was just joking.

Hmph. Can you introduce someone as handsome and talented as your brother-in-law? !
Mingmei muttered in her heart, but there was a sweet smile on her face.

"Yeah. Be as handsome as Sean Opry! Be as talented as Michael Jackson!"

Sean Opry, an American, is one of the hottest male supermodels today, with a charming and sculptural face.He is said to be of Indian and Irish descent.

Needless to say Michael Jackson, the most famous musician in the 80s of the last century, winner of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

The two were joking, but Du Hui hugged Yu Tongtong and looked very affectionate. Maybe he is alone now, and his son was sentenced to his ex-wife.

After joking for a while, Liu Yimin also came over, and the four of them began to prepare the final details before going on stage.

At eight o'clock, the four of them entered the bar and stood on the karaoke stage of the tavern.
