Chapter 936 A Qiang and A Jian who sing on the beach (two in one chapter)
After finishing their meal in the shopping mall, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni held hands and crossed the road, preparing to pick up their electric scooters from the roadside of the beach across the road. However, the beach at night showed a different scene than during the day.
!
"Dear parents,
Soft and kind as the blue moon,
I always ask in my mind what daily report..."
Singing could be heard in the distance, and Dai Yuni subconsciously looked towards the place where the singing was taking place. There were numerous figures over there, and there seemed to be many people walking on the beach.
"Hey, it seems to be your song!"
Driven by curiosity, Dai Yuni took Yang Qian's arm and enthusiastically asked him to accompany her to take a look.
“I often ask in my heart what daily report,
Kindness should be repaid..."
Yes, that's right, it's Yang Qian's song "Remember My Love"!
Although the songs she sang were in Cantonese, Dai Yuni was deeply impressed by the Cantonese songs Yang Qian had sung.
However, the singing voice coming now was obviously not Yang Qian's. It seemed like someone was singing live with a stereo? This only made Dai Yuni more interested.
At least it’s not a group of uncles and aunties performing a square dance with Yang Qian’s songs!
Of course, Dai Yuni didn't dislike her uncles and aunts dancing in the square, nor did she think that dancing in the square was a waste of the song. She just felt that she couldn't fit into such a scene.
Yang Xiaozhao was often taken to square dances by his grandma Hong Xiaoxia, and now it is even more like this when he returns to Hecheng. Grandpa is responsible for taking care of him, and grandma is responsible for singing and dancing in front of the little guy.
Dai Yuni and Yang Qian once went to observe the demonstration, but that time they went to take photos and videos. They watched the little guy sitting in the stroller with rapt attention, beaming with joy, and dancing. They all felt very happy.
interesting.
But if there are still a group of uncles and aunties dancing square dance on a crowded beach, Dai Yuni is not interested. To watch other people dancing square dancing, it is better to go back early and hug our little baby Yang Xiaozhao!
After walking around the small stone path between the coconut trees and standing on the high ground of the stone steps, the field of vision suddenly opened up. Under the dim yellow lights of the municipal government, the lively scene on the beach was also clearly visible.
There are actually people dancing on the beach, but they are street dances, just like the singing groups. The dancers' performance, every time they come to a particularly exciting part, they can win bursts of cheers from the onlookers!
Dai Yuni and Yang Qian haven't gone down yet. In fact, many viewers are sitting on the stone steps to watch. The audience here stops and goes, and the flow is relatively large, but there are also some residents from nearby communities who come down to have fun after dinner.
, they sat there and watched with great interest.
"This kind of thing is similar to the overpass busking in the past! Look, they still have QR codes for rewards! Isn't this a step forward with the times?"
Dai Yuni saw the group of performing singers not far away. His companion was holding a printed and plasticized large QR code one by one to signal to the surrounding people for rewards, so she couldn't help but patted Yang.
Qian, let him look over.
"This is normal, they also need to live!"
Yang Qian was actually watching another group of singers performing. They were farther away. The singer who was singing was walking with a limp on crutches, and his partner was a short dwarf. Such a combination,
Yang Qian was inevitably a little sad.
However, after watching from a distance for a while, Yang Qian felt that they did not think he was as pitiful as others thought!
Although both of them are disabled, they give people a feeling of being comfortable and confident in this kind of street performance.
Both of them must be quite old. Judging from their weathered faces, they are probably over forty years old. Their voices are not as young as those of other groups. They have a slightly hoarse voice and the songs they sang were from twenty or thirty years ago.
Although the old songs are obviously not fresh enough, it is difficult to resonate with young audiences. But don’t tell me, the middle-aged people who come for a walk nearby just like this one!
Therefore, there are many people watching on the stone steps near them. Moreover, compared to the audiences of other singers, their audience seems to be more loyal, at least willing to listen to a few more songs!
"How about we listen to two songs before leaving?"
Dai Yuni looked at him, then at the two disabled singers in the distance. Knowing that he wanted to watch, she took the initiative to suggest.
"Okay! I've just eaten. It's good to take a walk."
They walked over, but did not sit on the stone steps like others.
For a while, they couldn't find anything to put their buttocks on. This stone step had been exposed to the sun during the day, and they didn't know if it would be very hot. It would be uncomfortable to sit directly on the stone slab that had been hot for a day, especially
Dai Yuni is still wearing a skirt.
When Yang Qian and Dai Yuni walked over to take a look, the two disabled singers first sang an old song that was popular all over the country in the 1990s with a singer on crutches, and then replaced it with a dwarf singer who had been resting just now.
He picked up the microphone and skillfully said some words to warm up the scene, and then started singing.
What he sang was actually a prairie folk song "Father's Pasture"!
"Isn't this Teacher Li's song?"
Dai Yuni heard it and turned to look at Yang Qian.
"right."
Yang Qian smiled and nodded. He took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a short video and send it to the teacher.
"Father's Pasture" is indeed a song written by Li Guangmin, and it is one of the few grassland folk songs he composed, and one of the relatively popular ones!
Throughout Li Guangmin's creative career, his style is actually very changeable!
First of all, there are pop songs. He wrote "Songs in Dreams" (sung by Chai Jiang), which was popular all over the country in the early years, as well as famous songs by Su Rui and other popular singers at that time.
Then there are the main melody songs. There is no need to talk about this, but what can be said is that the song Li Guangmin wrote about singing the seven sons has influenced generations of primary school students - Yang Qian also learned it!
Finally, there is folk songs. Li Guangmin’s greatest achievement is obviously not grassland folk songs. His northwest folk songs are more famous.
But later in the new century, grassland folk songs and plateau folk songs became more popular with the public. Yang Qian’s senior fellow at Nanyue University, Mr. Chen Maochun, successfully transformed and became unique in plateau folk songs.
Li Guangmin should have also tried to transform at that time, but his transformation was not successful. After entering the new century, his influence gradually faded away.
Going a step further, the dwarf singer who is singing "Father's Ranch" can't say that his high notes are very loud, and his pitch has not reached the threshold of a professional singer, but overall, he can sing pretty well, better than ordinary people.
The rhythm of singing is more accurate and the breath is more stable.
Moreover, with the characteristics of his voice, it is easy to sing the grandeur and heroic spirit of this kind of prairie folk song, "the sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows and the grass is low, and you can see the cattle and sheep"!
So, when he finished singing, Yang Qian and the surrounding audience couldn't help but applaud.
Dai Yuni was more practical. She took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR codes on the guitar cases of the two singers from a distance.
They didn't do what Dai Yuni said just now about the artists who left the overpass on the ground. They held the QR code and walked around in front of the audience. I don't know whether it was because of their inconvenient legs and feet, which made them physically unable to make it, or because they felt that it was too much like begging.
I can't cope with it psychologically.
Their way of asking for rewards depends entirely on the guidance of the dwarf singer.
But this time, when the dwarf singer was doing his homework, his companion on crutches next to him was shocked. While he was changing the accompaniment on the mobile phone standing on a tripod, a message that the payment had been received popped up.
.
What kind of number is this!
He rubbed his eyes, as if he thought he had seen it wrong.
After confirming, he walked over, patted the dwarf singer on the shoulder, and motioned for the other party to move the microphone away.
The conversation between them was rather awkward. The dwarf singer could only look up at him, and he had bad legs and feet, and could not squat down to talk to the dwarf singer, so the two of them just stood there, whispering "in the air".
"real or fake?"
The microphone is closer to the dwarf singer, and a slight sound comes out.
You can see that the dwarf singer looked happy after receiving a nod of confirmation from the singer on crutches.
"Which family member gave the reward? Six thousand six hundred and sixty-six yuan!"
He picked up the microphone and asked.
This number caused an uproar. The nearby spectators looked at me and me. They were obviously a little unbelievable, but they were also curious about who was so rich and rewarded so much!
"This is the biggest reward our Ah Qiang and Ah Jian have received since they debuted. I'm really grateful. Can you let us get to know each other and thank you in person?"
The dwarf singer's eyes turned red as he spoke, and his voice became choked with sobs.
The crippled singer named Ah Jian also closed his mouth tightly, trying hard to hold back tears, and raised his hands high above his head in clasped hands.
Needless to say, this generous "family member" is Dai Yuni who just scanned the QR code with her mobile phone.
"Do you want to say a few words to me?"
Dai Yuni smiled and pushed Yang Qian.
"Why did I say that? Didn't you scan the code and transfer it to 6666?"
Yang Qian smiled.
They actually wanted to keep a low profile, and after talking, they discussed and prepared to leave secretly.
But their conversation just now was overheard by an uncle sitting in front. The uncle was just stimulated by the number "6666". Many people in Holland City earn less than 6,000 yuan a month!
"Here, the reward is here!"
The uncle actively pointed at Yang Qian and the others, and loudly gestured towards the disabled singer duo.
Okay!
At this moment, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni became the center of attention of hundreds of spectators around them!
Fortunately, they were standing under the coconut tree, and the light of the street lamp was blocked. Everyone could only clearly see that they were two very young men and women, but could not clearly see their appearance.
"Uh, you two...uh, please stay!"
The dwarf singer was actually a little embarrassed. He thought the person giving the reward was someone older than them. He almost blurted out the terms "brother, sister", but changing it to "brother, sister" seemed not polite to the donor, so he hesitated.
After a while, I couldn't think of a suitable title, so I just stopped calling him.
He held the microphone in his hand and walked quickly towards Yang Qian and the others.
His trot is not much faster. The deformity of his body is mainly reflected in his legs, and his entire body is out of proportion.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, it is quite difficult to climb up these high stone steps!
You can imagine that for him to climb these stone steps is like climbing the stone steps for a three or four year old. He has to use both his hands and feet for the fifty centimeter-high stone steps.
Because he was holding the microphone in one hand, he was leaning sideways and pressed on his other forearm, which was also somewhat deformed.
Seeing him in such a hurry, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni couldn't bear it.
"Go ahead! I'll wait for you here."
Dai Yuni, the instigator, pushed Yang Qian. She didn't plan to show up when there were so many people watching!
Mainly because she didn't even put on makeup carefully, her face was bare, and her hair was messy...
"I'll come over here!"
Yang Qian glanced at his wife helplessly, took out a peaked cap from the bag next to him, put it on, and then walked down the stone steps.
He stopped wearing the sunglasses clipped to the collar of his T-shirt. If you wear sunglasses at night, doesn’t that mean you don’t have three hundred taels of silver here? There is no need for a mask. There is no epidemic now. If others see you wearing a mask deliberately, they may
I think you discriminate against people with disabilities!
"Actually, it was my wife who gave me the reward. She just heard you singing and felt very touched."
"She was too embarrassed to come down, she was rather shy."
"No, no, no, there's no reason for you to return it? Just keep it."
"The money just represents a little bit of our thoughts. In fact, I am also very happy to see that you love music and singing so much! I hope you can continue to persevere!"
In fact, Yang Qian just saw how hard it was for the other party to climb the stone steps, so he agreed to come down and talk for a few words.
But this dwarf singer Aqiang is also quite down-to-earth. He resisted the temptation in his heart and tried to shirk Yang Qian several times. Then he was moved by Yang Qian's encouraging words and told him about his relationship with Ajian with choked sobs.
experience.
In fact, there are no special twists and turns.
They are born with disabilities and have been treated differently since childhood - it is not considered discrimination, but they cannot study or work like normal people.
When I grew up, I had no stable job or normal income, so I always relied on my parents to take care of me. But as my parents got older, they wanted to earn some money on their own to support the family.
Because of their love for singing, Ah Qiang and Ah Jian became very good friends from two strangers, and then became partners on the road of performing arts.
They used to perform at the intersections of various shopping malls, but they could only receive a few cents or a few dollars in rewards, and were driven away by the urban management and police.
Now, they found the bathing beach, no one chased them here, and then the citizens loved to hear them singing, so it became a little more stable.
"Isn't it true that live streaming has become popular in the past few years? We also do live streaming, and we have tens of thousands of fans, so we can be considered a small Internet celebrity!"
Aqiang shared their experiences with Yang Qian with some joy and pride.
The ordeal has finally been overcome. Although their lives and bodies have not improved much, at least they feel that they are living with more dignity than before!
When Yang Qian heard this, he was also happy for them.
Seeing the crippled singer A Jian guarding the microphone stand and stereo over there, Yang Qian suddenly remembered a song.
"To be honest, we don't say we are short of money right now. It's just that everyone's rewards help us live a lot more comfortably. But we don't want just so much money to affect your lives."
The dwarf singer Aqiang seems to be worried that Dai Yuni’s reward is so large, whether it is an impulsive reward, whether it will make Yang Qian unhappy, and whether it will affect the relationship between their young couple, so he is still trying to
asked.
"Let's talk about it, okay? You don't have to think that we are giving you a reward, so you don't feel bad about it. Just think of it as us borrowing your microphone, renting your venue, and singing like a karaoke OK.
