Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

On the surface, they walked away.

In reality, he brought a small stool and sat down not far from Li Chaoyang's house.

Then he chatted with his second uncle about everyday things.

You can also listen to what's going on at Li Chaoyang's house.

Little Li moved the tape recorder into Li Chaoyang's house and closed the door.

Li Chaoyang saw the large cardboard box that Xiao Lizi had moved into the house.

I looked at the pattern on the cardboard box again.

"What's this? Director Cui, you've come all this way, why did you bring this?"

"I was thinking of buying you something, but I didn't know what you liked. Little Li said this colorful scrolling light recorder is all the rage right now."

"I think this is definitely suitable for you. Don't have any other thoughts. This is to express my gratitude to you."

"Director Cui, aren't you being too polite? I'm the director of the cultural center, and I have an obligation to help every factory's choir improve."

"It's what I should do. If you come here and bring me this, I really can't accept it!"

“Look, Li Chaoyang, aren’t you being too formal? The things have already been bought, and the steel mill even bought you a piano, and you still want them.”

"Why don't you want the tape recorder we offered to buy you?"

“That 5.9 is different. The piano he bought was for the cultural center, but this tape recorder you're giving me is a personal gift, so of course I can't accept it.”

"Li Chaoyang, what's the difference? You're the head of the cultural center, so what's the difference between giving it to you and giving it to the cultural center?"

Li Chaoyang and Factory Director Cui were in the room, politely declining the colorful scrolling tape recorder.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e returned.

"What's going on? I could hear your voices as soon as I stood in the courtyard."

"Honey, you're back just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Director Cui from the garment factory, and this is Xiao Li. You've met him before."

"Director Cui, this is my wife, Lou Xiao'e."

"Hello, Director Cui, please have a seat."

"Oh, okay."

"Director Cui, what Chaoyang said is true. We don't really lack these things now. Although we don't have a tape recorder at home."

"But we're not home very often, so why don't you take this back?"

"Li Chaoyang, you two should accept this. It's a small token of our appreciation from the factory to you, 01."

"Regardless of whether we achieve good or bad results in the city competition, we really want to make a contribution."

Seeing that Director Cui's attitude was very firm, Lou Xiao'e stood in the middle and said to Li Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang, since Director Cui means well, then you should accept it."

Li Chaoyang never expected Lou Xiao'e to say such a thing.

Mingming has taken the tape recorder away, and many neighbors in the yard have already seen it.

What if this gets to Director Wang's ears?

I'm sure Director Wang will come to my house to cause trouble again.

Li Chaoyang looked at Lou Xiao'e with surprise.

"Yes, look, your wife has already agreed, Li Chaoyang, accept it."

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e had agreed, Li Chaoyang did not delay any further.

"Alright, you guys sit down and chat for a bit. I'll go cook some dishes for you. Director Cui, Little Li, you can eat here tonight."

Cui Changchang and Xiao Lizi were originally there to deliver tape recorders.

Hearing Lou Xiao'e say this.

They couldn't possibly eat at Li Chaoyang's house, so they got up to leave.

"No, no, we have to go back. We can't eat at your house."

"Li Chaoyang, the factory's choir is now in your hands. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Director Cui, isn't that being too formal? This afternoon at the cultural center, the choir sang very well in harmony."

Li Chaoyang saw Director Cui off.

The neighbors in the courtyard started gossiping when they saw Li Chaoyang return to the house.

"This Li Chaoyang is a real talent. He gets to go to the cultural center because people are currying favor with him. The people he teaches are all factory directors."

“We don’t even care about ordinary people like us.”

"Don't say that. You weren't nice to them before, so they don't care about you. Relationships between people are reciprocal."

"Tell me, this Li Chaoyang, he's not blatantly giving gifts, but people keep sending him gifts every day. The day before yesterday they sent him apples, and today they sent him this huge thing. How much money does this cost?"

"What, are you envious? If you're envious, tell your man to get a government position too, then people will send gifts to your family!"

"Stop saying that 010 is useless. Aren't you envious?"

"I envy him. I have time to go back and get some sleep. I'm off, I'm not going to chat with you anymore, I'm going home for dinner."

The neighbors in the courtyard all dispersed, leaving only the old man sitting in the same spot.

"It's changed, it's changed. People are constantly changing with the material things in the outside world."

After saying that, he picked up the small stool and went back to his home.

Early morning on the second day.

Li Chaoyang then mounted the tape recorder on the bicycle frame, preparing to transport it to the cultural center.

Although this tape recorder is a popular item nowadays, it is also rare, and only a few people can afford it.

But Li Chaoyang felt that these neighbors would gossip.

If these words were to reach Director Wang's family, they would definitely cause him trouble.

The less trouble, the better.

Li Chaoyang didn't want such an object to jeopardize his future.

Take this tape recorder to the cultural center as a donation from the garment factory director.

It sounded good and also made Director Cui look good.

The idea came from his wife, Lou Xiao'e.

Li Chaoyang carried the tape recorder to the cultural center.

Liu Yang saw Li Chaoyang carrying a tape recorder and came out of the house.

"Curator, where did you get this? A colorful marquee tape recorder? This is a real piece of junk! You can't buy one without someone here!"

"Really? This thing is so difficult to handle! I had no idea!"

"Actually, it's hard to buy. Even if you have money, you can't buy it without connections. It's an imported product."

"Oh, take it inside. From now on, this will belong to our cultural center."

"Curator, where did you find someone to buy this from? You're really something."

Li Chaoyang and Liu Yang talked as they walked into the museum.

"I didn't buy this; it was sponsored to our cultural center by Director Cui of the clothing factory."

"This Director Cui is really capable; he handled this matter brilliantly."

Liu Yang loved it so much that he took the tape recorder to the big room in the choir yesterday.

I randomly picked out a cassette tape that I liked to listen to and put it on the cassette.

I turned the volume up to the maximum, and the effect was amazing.

People far away could hear the melodious music coming from the cultural center.

"Alright, Liu Yang, the volume is too loud. Turn it down."

Liu Yang turned the volume down.

But I couldn't put it down, so I tried out all the functions of the colorful light recorder.

He wanted to test the recording function of this recorder to see if it was any good.

So I sat down at the piano next door.

They were playing the melodies of these three songs newly arranged by Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang had no idea what Liu Yang was doing in the room.

He's the one who organizes the current program schedule.

Several factories in the surrounding area have already given Li Chaoyang their choir rosters and the songs they will sing.
