When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 832 The Eggs Are Here!
Judging from their posture, they came with friends.

Li Renyong pulled Paula to a seat in the front row of the audience and whispered, "Are you angry? You're not even jealous of a giant salamander, are you?"

Paula patted him and said, "No way."

Despite her usual fierce attitude towards Liu Donglong, she actually cares about him a lot.

Previously, when Yoo Dong-ryong ran away from home, Paula directly emphasized that material foundation was more practical than emotional needs.

He was criticized for his passive resistance, and it was suggested that he communicate directly with his parents.

Despite being a top student, he never looked down on those who struggled academically and tacitly allowed them to participate in study groups.

Among the children, only Paula disciplined him in the way Teacher Liu did.

For example, using a safety pin to treat an illness.

This special interaction is actually a form of alternative attention.

What's most unique is that the two share a sense of similarity because they both matured early due to the absence of family roles.

Paula felt a lot of pressure because she was the eldest child in her family.

Liu Donglong, on the other hand, lacked parental love.

When Liu Donglong was caught up in his emotional needs, Bao La pulled him back with realistic logic, essentially offering alternative care in her own way.

The performance hall is not very large, only about half the size of a movie theater.

The setup is similar to a stage for a drama.

However, there are now four more tables on the stage, and the judges sit behind them.

On the other side of the stage, there are two rows of chairs, specifically for the contestants to rest and wait.

The first contestant to come on stage was a middle-aged woman, around fifty years old.

She was wearing a pink outfit, looking like the pink toad from Harry Potter.

The song I chose was "The First Bus".

This song is quite nice; it tells the story of parting at dawn.

"The first bus to depart, cutting through the morning mist~"

"Carry me on, carry my dreams on!"

"I'll pack my whole heart with me and set off, far, far away from you~"

The other side.

Ms. Luo stopped shaking her leg and was no longer nervous, but Liu Donglong started shaking his leg and muttering lyrics to himself.

"Auntie Sun-young, is there any water?"

Kim Sun-young took out a drink she brought from home from her bag, and then took out a disposable cup.

"Don't be nervous, you have the ability."

Liu Donglong took a big gulp and forced a smile: "I'm not nervous, not at all."

Kim Sun-young said softly, "You're next, Dolphin, good luck."

Hearing this, Liu Donglong became even more nervous and couldn't help but take another sip of water.

Ms. Luo glanced at him and said, "By the way, hasn't number 92 arrived yet? He's next."

Liu Donglong forced a smile: "He might have deserted at the last minute. Even experts like us are nervous."

Ms. Luo expressed disdain, "An expert?"

Where can I find experts?
Isn't she the only one?

Just then, the judges interrupted the woman's performance.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Please wait aside for now, and we will let you know the result later."

"Next, number 92."

"Is Number 92 not here?"

Liu Donglong shouted in a high-pitched voice, "He's not here, he ran away."

After saying that, he took a sip of water.

At that moment, a voice came from below the stage.

"Here we are."

A guy came up on stage; it was a cotton harvester.

When Liu Donglong saw him, he froze, and the drink in his mouth spilled out.

Kim Sun-young exclaimed, "My God, he looks like he can sing incredibly well! What song is he going to sing?"

Ms. Luo said, "It must be Peninsula Love Song."

Liu Donglong didn't want to speak at this moment; his heart was ice-cold.

What an awkward situation it is when a cover song meets the original singer.

He suddenly remembered Li Renyong saying at school that he might run into the original singer, and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Li Renyong was standing below the stage, pointing at him and laughing heartily.

Liu Donglong felt a chill run down his spine.

Then he saw Li Renyong grab Paula's wrist with a grin and wave it at him in the air.

Paula pulled her wrist back and lightly punched Li Renyong with her fist.

That intensity, that expression—to Liu Donglong, it looked nothing like flirting. His heart sank even further.

He shouldn't have come to the game today.

"Please state your name and the song you are singing."

"I am Steve Gregg, and the song I'm going to sing is 'Talking on the Phone'."

Upon hearing this, Liu Donglong remained completely unmoved.

I wonder if he will still be able to confidently say the name Park Nam-jung from Ssangmun-dong in the future.

We lost the dance competition, and the singing competition was a long story.

After the song "Cotton Picker" was finished, it was met with a round of applause.

"Next, number 93."

Liu Donglong stood up and moved step by step to the microphone.

I was already a little nervous, and then someone else sang the song I had prepared, which really hurt me.

"let's start."

Liu Donglong coughed, then said, "There's no New Year~~~"

Before he could even finish a single line of lyrics, the judge immediately said, "Good job, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Donglong cursed inwardly, but said aloud, "I wish your whole family good health."

offstage.

Li Renyong laughed and said, "How about that? It's funny, isn't it? Look at how Aunt Shanying and Aunt Luo are laughing, their back teeth are showing."

Paula had a smile on her face, but it wasn't an exaggerated one.

Perhaps she has a very high threshold for laughter.

"It's kind of funny, but not that funny."

Li Renyong patted his chest twice to calm himself down.

"This is just the beginning. We'll start selling eggs soon, then we'll see if you're still laughing."

Paula's face was full of questions. What the heck was selling eggs?

In the alley.

President Kim lay on the sofa, watching a singing program on TV.

The song was the one Ms. Luo brought to the competition.

He held the remote control, sighing repeatedly.

I'm very worried.

I wonder how Ms. Luo's competition went, and who won between her and the giant salamander.

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

"Is anyone home? Is your older sister home?"

"The door is open, please come in."

The door was pushed open, and the uncle who sold eggs in the morning walked in, holding a cassette tape in his hand.

"Isn't my older sister home?"

President Kim turned his head and said, "He's not here. Is there something you need?"

"Oops, I picked up the wrong tape."

Upon hearing this, President Kim had a bad feeling.

At the competition venue, it was Ms. Luo's turn.

"Hello everyone, I am Ra Mi-ran, the mother of Jeongbong in Ssangmun-dong, the singing leopard."

"Are you ready?"

"Alright, let's begin."

After Ms. Luo finished speaking, she gave Kim Sun-young a look, then turned around and assumed a dance pose.

Kim Sun-young immediately understood and pressed the switch on the radio.

Li Renyong, sitting in the audience, had already started to laugh, his body trembling slightly.

Paula didn't know what he was laughing at: "What's so funny?"

Li Renyong said haltingly, "You'll find out soon... in a little while."

When Kim Sun-young pressed the switch, Ms. Luo started dancing, but strangely, no music came on.

What the hell?

Kim Sun-young thought the volume might be too low, so she turned it up.

Immediately afterwards, a voice resounded throughout the entire performance hall.

"The eggs are here!"

"Fresh and large eggs are here!"

"There are still lots of eggs, sseumida~~~"
