Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"Then I'll pay the deposit for these songs first. Today is your big day, so consider it a wedding gift."

Li Chaoyang was extremely pleased with Song Chengxiang's attitude and demeanor. When he opened the envelope, he found that it contained a full ten thousand yuan.

Although Lou Xiao'e was from a wealthy family, she had never seen so much money before.

Lou Xiao'e didn't know Li Chaoyang before and didn't know how capable he was. Now, on the first day of their marriage, Lou Xiao'e was amazed. When she saw such a large pile of money, Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Chaoyang in great surprise and asked.

"Wow, that's a lot! How much money did you make from writing so many songs?"

"Others might not earn this much salary in several years."

Seeing the expressions on Li Chaoyang and his wife's faces, Song Chengxiang felt that the reward should satisfy Li Chaoyang very much, which put Song Chengxiang at ease.

"One song!"

Song Chengxiang's answer shocked Lou Xiao'e, who found it hard to understand why a song could be worth so much money.

This was actually within Li Chaoyang's expectations. The fact that Song Chengxiang was able to come today and bring such good news made Li Chaoyang very happy.

Preparations were already underway outside. The dishes and rice were already laid out on the table. Just as Li Chaoyang was about to leave to greet Song Chengxiang, Director Li of the steel rolling mill, along with Secretary Cao and several other key leaders of the steel rolling mill, arrived at Li Chaoyang's wedding.

"Hey Li Chaoyang, your wedding is such a big event, why didn't you tell us? If we hadn't seen it in the newspaper, we would have missed it."

"It's really great! The preparations are so lively and impressive. If I had known you were going to have your wedding like this, I could have held it in the canteen of our steel mill!"

"Congratulations! A young person as outstanding as you is able to settle down and start a family early, and also stabilize your career. You are sure to have a bright future ahead of you!"

Lou Xiao'e was surprised that a wedding could bring together so many important people. She was actually very happy because she had no idea that Li Chaoyang was so popular at the processing plant.

Lou Xiao'e felt she had married the right person, and she was overjoyed. A proud smile spread across her face as she nodded and smiled warmly at the steel mill leaders.

The fact that the leaders of the steel rolling mill were able to attend the wedding was indeed beyond Li Chaoyang's expectations, because he didn't want Xu Damao to know about this, and of course, he also wanted to keep Ran Qiuye in mind.

Therefore, these matters were not announced within the steel rolling mill, nor were they publicized elsewhere.

Li Chaoyang believed that those who were sincere would come naturally, while those who were not didn't need to be invited.

As expected, everyone he wanted to come had arrived, which made Li Chaoyang very happy. He immediately gave Factory Director Li a warm welcome.

........ ......... 0

"Oh, Director Li, you're so busy with work, how could I possibly bother you? I was just worried about disrupting your work."

"I'm so happy that you could bring your colleagues from the steel rolling mill!"

"As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive at the right time. The banquet hasn't even started yet, has it? Hurry up and sit down, the food will be ready soon."

"I'm sure the food today will satisfy you, Director Li, because it was cooked by Sha Zhu's father. Actually, Sha Zhu's cooking skills are not as good as his father's."

This praise for one and criticism for the other, especially since they were father and son, meant that He Daqing didn't appreciate it at all; on the contrary, he resented Li Chaoyang.

He Daqing had orchestrated this meal, and he never expected that even Director Li from the steel rolling mill would come.

Seeing this situation, He Daqing felt that things were really getting out of hand and he started to get scared, but the food was already prepared.

If we were to change it at the last minute, it would definitely be too late, and our own schemes and foolish deeds would be exposed, leaving us with no choice but to give up.

Both Director Li and Song Chengxiang's people were ready, and the guests were all present. Don't be fooled by the fact that Li Chaoyang didn't get along well with these people from the "80s and 90s" courtyard.

In fact, he got along very well with the neighbors in these courtyard houses, and many people from the city came to celebrate Li Chaoyang's wedding.

Moreover, these people all had a good impression of Li Chaoyang. They didn't come here for nothing; they all brought something decent, and they didn't come empty-handed.

Seeing the enthusiastic villagers, Li Chaoyang was even happier. In fact, Li Chaoyang could have easily gone out to host a few tables, but it would have been impossible for so many villagers to have a hot meal. Li Chaoyang was thinking of his neighbors.

With the guests filling the room, Li Chaoyang saw that they were all in place, so he took Lou Xiao'e and stood in the center. Lou Xiao'e was wearing a new red dress, and Li Chaoyang was also dressed impeccably.

They looked like a perfect match, and when Li Chaoyang and Lou Xiao'e stepped forward, a round of enthusiastic applause broke out.

"Thank you so much for coming today. I, Li Chaoyang, am deeply grateful."

"Today is a bit rushed, as it is my wedding day with Lou Xiao'e. We have specially set up a banquet in the courtyard and hope to receive everyone's congratulations."

As expected of an intellectual and a great musician, he spoke with great tact and grace, which pleased everyone present, and they applauded once again.

Lou's parents were also sitting in the courtyard, accompanied by Li Chaoyang's parents. Seeing that Lou Xiao'e had married such an eloquent, outstanding, and positive husband, Lou's parents felt very relieved.

The scene was truly lively and bustling. Even the neighbors in the courtyard were happy to join in. Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui also loved to join in the fun, as if they had long forgotten their previous grudges.

Among all the people present, He Daqing seemed to be the most heartbroken, and his face showed a look of indignation.

"Saying all that is useless. Let's see how long you can be so smug. We'll see how you clean up this mess later!"

"You've got some nerve! You sent my son to jail, and the next thing you know, you're asking his dad to cook for you. You deserve it!"

Li Chaoyang and Lou Xiao'e served tea to their parents and then changed their address to each other before inviting the guests to dinner. However, at this moment, Song Chengxiang suddenly made a suggestion.

"Li Chaoyang, you're the great musician of our courtyard house! Your wedding is definitely going to be something special. 5.8"

"Although your meal is quite lavish, and there are quite a lot of people, it's quite lively and unusual."

"But I feel like something's still missing."

"If you could sing one of your own original revolutionary songs for us right here, that would be more in line with your identity as a musician, and it would also better engage the audience and create a cultural atmosphere, wouldn't it?"

Li Chaoyang was unprepared, but Song Chengxiang's proposal quickly won the approval of several leaders from the steel mill present, as well as the support of the guests.

"As expected of someone from a record company, you're right, very well said! Li Chaoyang, give us a song!"

"All we know is that you can write songs. The few decent revolutionary songs that are still circulating in our city are all your work. The city leaders attach great importance to this matter."

"If you could sing a few songs from episode 01 live, it would be incredibly meaningful and have a truly extraordinary effect. Let's see if you can actually sing!"

"If you can not only sing but also write songs, then you're really amazing!"

He Daqing finally found an opportunity to mock Li Chaoyang.

Hearing the steel mill leaders say this, He Daqing couldn't help but laugh, as if he wasn't afraid of anyone. Then he swaggered out, muttering to himself as if talking to himself.

"Given his cowardly nature, the fact that he can write songs is already beyond my expectations. You actually expect him to sing? What can he sing? He doesn't even sing as well as our old hen!"

"Let's eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold and affect my cooking skills!"

"Stop sucking up to him. Is his singing really that good? None of you have even heard him sing, yet you're all making a fuss. I've never seen anyone like you."

He Daqing is now old and unemployed, and is not under anyone's control, so he naturally dares to speak up.

Hearing He Daqing say this made the leaders who smashed the steel plant very unhappy, especially Song Chengxiang.

"You're really rude, comrade. You're Sha Zhu's father. I remember you. Do you think your son went to jail because of Li Chaoyang? So you hold a grudge and want to take down Li Chaoyang, right?"

"If that's what you're thinking, then that's really wrong. The reason your son went to jail has nothing to do with Li Chaoyang. It's because your son made a mistake. If he hadn't made a mistake, would Li Chaoyang have such great power?"

Song Chengxiang was wholeheartedly protective of Li Chaoyang. Since Song Chengxiang knew the whole story clearly, he naturally wouldn't allow anyone to slander Li Chaoyang.

Having made his point quite clear in front of the steel mill's leaders, He Daqing was furious and glared at Song Chengxiang with a sharp look.

"Aren't you just from the record store? You think I'm afraid of you? What does the record store have to do with me and Daqing?"

“I know what you’re up to. Li Chaoyang can only write songs for you, right? If you keep sucking up to him like this, I can write songs too. Believe me, I know those songs by heart.”

"We marched down the main road, full of vigor and high spirits..."

890 "Forging ahead, overcoming all obstacles, onward, onward!"

"See? I wasn't wrong, was I?"

He Daqing was able to sing Li Chaoyang's song "We Are Walking on the Main Road" so readily, and he actually sang it quite well, which shows how popular Li Chaoyang's revolutionary songs are in this era.

And it was so popular that Li Chaoyang couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard He Daqing sing it.

At this moment, Song Chengxiang took the opportunity to speak immediately.

"Look at Comrade He Daqing, how can you deny your own conscience?"

"Aren't you also a loyal fan of Li Chaoyang? Aren't you singing all his songs? And you even remember the lyrics, that's what a loyal fan is!"

He Daqing not only failed to discourage Li Chaoyang, but also unknowingly became a loyal fan of Li Chaoyang.

Anyway, no matter what, He Daqing couldn't win an argument with Li Chaoyang or Song Chengxiang. I was so angry with He Daqing that I didn't know what to say. In a fit of anger, I could only turn around and leave.

"Don't be so smug for long. I'm telling you, heaven is watching what people do. You'd better shut up. You won't be able to get away with this for much longer!"

No one found He Daqing's words surprising; they all assumed he was just venting his anger verbally. The people present were all laughing heartily.

"Old He, he's just stubborn. He's been like this since he was young, so don't take it personally."

"Yeah, he and Sha Zhu have such similar tempers, they're definitely father and son!"

"Let him go, otherwise I think it will be really troublesome for him to stay here. This old man is not easy to deal with."

Li Chaoyang didn't go at all, and didn't care what he said to Daqing. Now he just felt that since Song Chengxiang had already said it, then this matter was settled.

Li Chaoyang couldn't bear to spoil everyone's fun. Although he had never tried singing his own revolutionary songs before, he still decided to give it a try.

"You've come all this way, and you're all my guests today, how could I possibly refuse you? Of course, no problem. I know my own songs by heart."
