From Middle Age: Leisure Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 38 Rehearsal

Since I want to sing on stage, I have to practice in advance. I haven’t worked with everyone for many years and have all my hands done.

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

The training location was found by Zhang Yang Gang, which is near Chaoyang, and costs 60 yuan per hour. The musical instruments are provided by Liu Yimin and Zhang Yang.

Today is Tuesday. I didn’t expect Du Hui to have something to do on the first day of training. 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: "Dongqing, I thought you could not take care of Tongtong on time. I didn't expect it was Du Hui, who is alone now, and his whole family is not hungry. What's the matter?"

"Tongtong is on summer vacation, and she is basically at his grandmother's house. Sometimes when I come back on weekends, I am more idle." Yu Dongqing explained with a smile.

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

"Forget it, there may be traffic jams on the road, and it is not easy to answer the phone when driving. He lives near Qinghe, which is relatively far away." Yu Dongqing hurriedly advised.

"It's probably the matter of the child. I heard that I was competing for custody with his ex-wife." Liu Yimin suddenly said.

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

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

But he likes this outfit.

My mother-in-law Liu Huiyan knew that Yu Dongqing had such a friend, so she agreed and said you are busy with yours. Tongtong is very good for us, so don’t worry.

"Oh. Mingmei is here too? She has disappeared for many days and is getting more and more beautiful. Do you want your elder brother to introduce you to a boyfriend?"

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

"Why"

Du Hui was holding the keys like a poet. No matter how many ways the songs were expressed, he always stood quietly behind, lowered his head and played the keyboard quietly, without moving, and sometimes even his footsteps were like an old monk entering into a meditation.

"Okay. Be as handsome as Sean Opry! As talented as Michael Jackson!"

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

Yu Tongtong next to her interrupted.

"What's the matter going back to the world? We just had fun and were just having fun." Yu Dongqing corrected.

The two were wearing a brand new look, Du Hui was still a T-shirt and casual pants, while Chang Yang was wearing a white shirt and overalls, and her big back was combed with a bright hair, which was not like singing but going to talk about business.

"What can I do?" Du Hui asked back: "Come on. Take the time and practice quickly."

"I'm going too! My sister has watched you sing, but I have never seen it before. I'll bring Tongtong together and let her watch her father's performance too!"

Sean Opry, an American, one of the most popular male supermodels today, has charming sculptural faces. He is said to have Indian and Irish ancestry.

"I heard that his ex-wife has found a husband again. That man is not good to the child, so he decided to take the custody of the child back." Liu Yimin said.

Yu Dongqing sighed.

He likes this little girl more and more, well-behaved and sweet-mouthed.

"What kind of performance? It's just that everyone sings and plays together. Mingmei, can't my brother-in-law do this outfit?" Yu Dongqing asked back.

Although I was dressed very ordinary, I was not a famous brand. The outfit was estimated to be less than 500 yuan, but my brother-in-law had a good figure. She also had that appearance and temperament.

Mingmei looked at it carefully again.

"Brother-in-law, you want to perform at night, don't you dress up well?" Mingmei couldn't help asking as she looked at Yu Dongqing wearing the usual white round-neck shirt, just changing her shorts into casual shorts, and the flip flops on her feet turned into flat canvas shoes.

Today is Friday. We made an appointment to perform in Yimin's Shili Peach Blossom Tavern at 8 o'clock. Yu Dongqing called his mother-in-law in the afternoon and said that several of their friends would go to Liu Yimin's tavern to sing tonight to help increase their popularity. Please take care of Tongtong for another night and he would come to pick him up tomorrow morning.

He actually wears an international brand style!

"Dad is so handsome!"

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

Originally, Yu Dongqing didn't want her daughter to come to these places too early, but she couldn't resist Mingmei's begging and agreed. She played for a while before taking her home.

"Here, come." At this moment, I saw Du Hui hurried in, covered in sweat.

The most pitiful thing about an adult’s divorce is the child.

Only Zhang Yang said that he was so beautiful when he saw him, and introduced his boyfriend to him.

Humph. Can you introduce someone as handsome and talented as your brother-in-law?!

Mingmei muttered in her heart, but a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Seeing Mingmei and Yu Tongtong also came, Liu Yimin hurried out of the bar to greet Zhang Yang and Du Hui, who had arrived and was in the backyard.

"Brother-in-law, your Qingmanglu band is going to come back? I want to listen too!" Mingmei seemed very excited on the phone.

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

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

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

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

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

"Baby daughter, my little mouth is so sweet!" Yu Dongqing intimately twisted her daughter's red face.

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

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

Among my brother-in-law’s good buddies, Liu Yimin is the oldest and honest person who doesn’t like to make such jokes. Du Hui is a teacher, so he won’t say these things after seeing Mingmei because of his professional reasons.

Needless to say, Michael Jackson, the most famous musician in the 1980s and the winner of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

The two were joking, but Du Hui picked up Yu Tongtong and looked very intimate. Maybe he was 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 for the final details before they came on stage.

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