50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 15 The little girl's first performance

"Don't worry, uncles. I'm too old to sing this song now, and only my sister can sing it properly. I'll teach my sister first, and then I'll sing it for everyone tomorrow."

After hearing this reason, everyone let him go and asked him to promise to let Nannan sing tomorrow.

Surrounded by a group of burly men, Sun Zhiwei had no room to resist and was forced to agree to let his sister sing tomorrow.

After dinner, Sun Zhiwei took his sister back to the room, and everyone continued to busy themselves with collecting and organizing information.

But Lao Zhang came to their room, copied the lyrics and music of "Counting Ducks" and took it away. No one knew what he was going to do with it.

In the room, Sun Zhiwei began to teach his daughter to sing.

"Nannan, I have a nice song here. I'll teach you how to sing it, okay?"

"Then, brother, sing it once first and I'll see if it sounds good. If it doesn't, forget it."

Sun Zhiwei didn't expect this girl to be so difficult to deal with. He had no choice but to sing it himself first: "In front of the door, under the bridge, a group of ducks swam by."

After singing a few lines, the girl became interested: "Brother, brother, this is good, I want to learn it, I want to learn it."

Sun Zhiwei quickly stopped and began to teach Nannan immediately. The two of them learned one sentence at a time, and in less than an hour, the girl could sing.

Sun Zhiwei started to let her sing by herself. At the beginning, Nannan was still stumbling and needed him to help her with the lyrics. But as time went on, she became more and more proficient and soon she could sing the whole song completely.

At this time, Sun Zhiwei took out the harmonica he had inherited from his childhood to accompany the girl, and the girl sang even more vigorously.

The little girl also has a talent for acting. She sang and added actions at the same time, which made Sun Zhiwei laugh. He even said that this was good and everyone would like it when he performed it tomorrow.

Once a little girl is liked by others, she will be taken care of unconsciously in the future, which is a good thing.

In fact, this is also the case in modern times. For example, if you are a child in the same neighborhood and your performance is average, others will not like you particularly.
If a child has some special talents, such as being polite, or being able to sing and dance, or being eloquent, as long as he or she is a little outstanding, he or she will be remembered and will get two more candies when distributing candies.

The two of them learned to sing until 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, and Sun Zhiwei arranged for the girl to wash up and go to bed.

After breakfast the next day, he reviewed it with the girl several times and felt good.

The performance was scheduled for noon, so the kitchen arranged for them to have lunch early. This was Sun Zhiwei's first time doing this, so he was a little nervous and couldn't even enjoy his meal.

On the contrary, the little girl didn't care at all and was digging into the food with a grunt.

After they finished eating and rested for half an hour, the comrades temporarily ended their morning work and went to the cafeteria to have lunch.

When the food was served, someone asked, "By the way, didn't they say yesterday that the little girl would be performing today? Where are they?"

Just as he finished speaking, the melodious and cheerful sound of a harmonica was heard from the cafeteria entrance. Then, a child's melodious and clear voice followed the rhythm of the harmonica and rang in his ears.

In front of the door, under the bridge, a group of ducks swam by
Come on, come on and count, two, four, six, seven, eight

The little girl came in from the door with her two pigtails swinging. The girl, who was not nervous at first, suddenly saw that everyone in the cafeteria was looking at her, and her voice paused for half a second.

Fortunately, this girl probably has a real talent for acting. She came to her senses immediately and continued singing along with the music.

After entering the cafeteria, the girl unconsciously started to act out the songs. When the song "Duck" started, she waved her hands like two duck wings and imitated the duck's swaying movements.

When you sing the count, tap, tap, tap the ground in front of you with your fingers.

When she sang about the old man with white beard, she stroked her empty chin with her hand. Until the end, she was seen hugging her hands as if she was holding a big duck egg.

All the uncles in the audience burst into laughter when they saw the little girl's funny actions, and the cafeteria was full of joy.

Finally, the performance ended and the little girl bowed to express her gratitude.

Now even the most serious leaders couldn't hold it anymore and started to applaud with everyone else.

A middle-aged uncle surrounded the little girl and liked her very much. He picked her up and kissed her twice on the face.

The little girl was pricked by the uncle's beard and she screamed anxiously: "Brother, brother, come and save me, the big tiger is stabbing me."

This sentence made the comrades around laugh again.

"Hey, Lao Yan, do you hear me? You big tiger, let go quickly and let me do it."

"Bah! That girl is about the same age as my daughter. I'm going to adopt her as my goddaughter from now on."

Everyone gathered around her, talking and clamoring, wanting to hug the little girl. Such a sweet girl, everyone loved her so much. Sun Zhiwei couldn't even squeeze in from the outside.

Finally, the leader spoke up: "Stop crowding around and don't scare the little girl. Eat quickly because you still have to work in the afternoon." Then everyone slowly dispersed.

The little girl escaped from the clutches of the devil, ran to Sun Zhiwei, and asked him with a smile: "Brother, do I sing well?"

"It sounds nice and looks good. Our daughter will become a singer in the future." Sun Zhiwei really thought the girl's performance was good.

She had only learned this song for less than a day, but her live performance had smooth sound, natural movements, and no hiccups at all. It didn't look like she had just learned it.

This is definitely a good candidate for an actor, but unfortunately, he can't let his sister become an actor. Even in an art troupe, that's not a place where ordinary people like them can get along.

He has already made up his mind for his sister: to develop a career as a childcare worker in the future. The benefits are good and the work is not tiring. No matter what the weather is like outside, it will not affect her from going to the kindergarten.

Especially some special kindergartens, which are the real safe havens. The wind cannot blow in and the rain cannot pour in. No matter who is in charge, it is impossible to make trouble there. It is the safest place.

After this performance, the entire crew got to know Sun Zhiwei and Nannan. When they learned that they were orphans, they felt even more compassion for them.

If we have the chance to bring back some candies or something when we go out, we always give some to them, especially to our daughter.

After all, Sun Zhiwei is already grown up and usually very cool, not as lovable as his chubby sister.

It is true that he is aloof. He is only 12 years old now, but he spends every day reading books. He rarely plays outside like other children. The only exercises he does every day are getting up early to run and practicing Tai Chi.

He didn't look like a child at all, and some people believed him when he said he was a member of the senior group. But those who knew him felt pity for him, and they all thought that his personality changed drastically because he witnessed his parents being murdered.

Sun Zhiwei vaguely understood everyone's thoughts from their conversations, and he was actually very happy because this way he didn't have to act like a child.
