Chapter 217: A song 'Along the River During Qingming Festival'
In the small town of St. Beni, every household begins to decorate for Christmas.
Iconic decorations such as Christmas trees and colored lights let people know that it is Christmas.
River Valley Ranch has prepared a large bonfire party, and then there will be a winter sports meeting. None of the ranch employees have asked for leave. In addition to 5 times the salary for 6 days, the employees are also gearing up for the upcoming sports meeting.
December 24th.
Huafeng Group sent more than 20 professional chefs to help prepare barbecue, and the venue was chosen to be used for the construction of a public golf course...
The main industry of the small town of Saint Beni is grazing, and most of them are family ranches.
Everyone knew the news very early. On the morning of the 24th, people from various ranching families came to this open space and put up a sign to express their occupation of this place. By the afternoon, piles of fire started to burn here.
firewood……
More than a dozen ranches have roasted whole sheep here, and a few ranches have even brought in whole cows...
There are also a dozen little Dorper sheep roasted here at River Valley Ranch. There is also a barbecue rack for grilling mutton kebabs...ten big fat sheep.
There is usually not much entertainment in the lower areas, but now River Valley Ranch is taking the lead in holding a large-scale Christmas gathering, and all the residents of the small town of St. Beni have spontaneously organized it.
In the afternoon, the meeting became lively.
The aroma of barbecue can be smelled from far away. Today, everything here is free, even for passers-by who are attracted by the excitement.
Chen Mo’s family came to the ranch early.
That girl Chen Xiao bought some Christmas clothes online and coaxed them to let Chen Mo and Chen Chen wear them. There was also a red gift bag filled with fruit candies.
"Brother, hurry up, the rally has started." Chen Xiao hurriedly said, Zhou Ziyu also came today to organize a barbecue at the rally.
"Okay, okay." Chen Mo was wearing Santa Claus clothes and holding a gift bag.
The two brothers Chen Mo and Chen's father were all dressed up in the same way, and they were all carrying gift bags.
Go out and get in the car and come to the meeting...
The 'Santa Claus' at the rally was not only Chen Chen's family, but also the mayor, town speaker, ranchers who like to have fun, etc. There were also people like Brett, Moxey, etc. who were also dressed as Santa Claus, carrying gift bags.
Children hand out gifts.
Chen Mo and the others appeared at the rally and were immediately surrounded by a group of children, saying Merry Christmas and asking for gifts with joyful smiles on their faces.
Seeing people is like a handful of candy.
Music was played everywhere at the rally, and hilarious people gathered everywhere...
"Cousin." Xiong Jieming and Zhang Qianqian, along with a dozen men and women, should be Xiong Jieming's classmates, all international students here.
"Uncle, eldest cousin, second cousin, Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas." Chen Mo laughed, grabbed the candy and handed it over: "Qianqian, Merry Christmas."
"Thank you cousin...eldest uncle..."
The classmates around them also gave them a handful of candies.
Meeting China in the United States is like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.
After handing out the candies, Chen Mo led everyone to taste the barbecue from door to door...from the barbecue at River Valley Ranch to the barbecue at other places.
Everyone came to the rally and everyone was very friendly. Employees of River Valley Ranch can taste the barbecue of other ranches, and people from other ranches can also come and taste the barbecue of River Valley Ranch...
There is also unlimited beer today, all supplied by River Valley Ranch.
In the evening, a bonfire was lit at the gathering. As the party organizer, Bright organized a talent show for everyone. Anyone who received applause from the crowd could participate in the lottery...
The special prize is a brand new four-wheel drive off-road motorcycle, each worth more than two thousand US dollars, and there are 10 people. After that, there are some special prizes, including pots and pans, televisions, washing machines, etc.
There are 160 lottery tickets in total.
Brett came on stage to announce the raffle prizes, and the whole audience was excited.
In this cold weather, everyone was cheering crazily with white air.
Anyone can perform on stage, but they must receive applause from the audience.
The first one to take the stage was the young man from River Valley Ranch. He sang a song, and his singing was actually pretty good, but he was all booed...
The audience in the audience are evil.
Some people sang, some danced, and some performed talk shows...
"Congratulations Jeff, your talk show made everyone laugh and received good applause. Come over and draw the prize." Brett was assigned to the host's position and said with a microphone.
Jeff just performed a talk show, which was very good. Even Chen Mo laughed.
"Four-wheel drive off-road motorcycle!" Jeff yelled, reaching in and pulling out a washbasin, which was also plastic and green.
There was crazy laughter in the audience.
"It's a pity." Brett smiled and asked Jeff to step off the stage: "Everyone, are your demands too high? In fact, the previous performances were very exciting, such as Mr. Justin Coney's performance at Coney Ranch.
Dance. Our ranch has prepared a lot of prizes. Don’t be afraid of being beaten first. Now I’m inviting you... Wait, speaking of singing, I know our boss is good at singing. How about inviting him to the stage to sing a song...
"
Chen Mo was ready to go back to sleep...
"Hey, boss, come up here, don't be shy."
There was warm applause from the audience.
"Brother, Brett is calling you."
Chen Mo's mouth twitched, this guy Brett...
Chen Mo bravely walked onto the stage. Although it was not a large venue, there were hundreds of people around.
Applause, whistles, extremely lively.
Chen Mo came on stage in a suit, glared at Bright, took the microphone, and smiled: "Thank you for your applause, let me sing a song, a Chinese song "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"."
Brett took the lead in applauding, and there was another burst of lively applause.
Chen Mo likes to listen to music and also likes to sing. He often sings songs while driving alone, but this is his first time singing in front of many people, so he is a little nervous...
I opened the music player on my phone, clicked on the music accompaniment and connected it to the sound system. The intro of the song started playing, and everything down there instantly became quiet.
"I leaned over and looked at the curtain of autumn rain, and the falling water drops made no sound..." Not many people here can understand Chinese songs.
Even Bright can basically communicate with Chen Mo in Chinese, but when listening to Chinese songs, especially the artistic conception in the lyrics, some of them are vaguely understood, and some are not understood at all. But the music with a bit of ancient Chinese charm is very attractive...
"Wow!" Chen Xiao's eyes widened, and she quickly took out her mobile phone to take a photo of this scene. She didn't even know that Chen Mo sang so well...
The voice is different from Li Yugang's, but the pitch is exactly the same. At the same time, Chen Mo's voice singing this song also sounds unique.
Zhou Ziyu knew that Chen Mo could sing, so he didn't make a fuss.
Also in the audience were Xiong Jieming, Zhang Qianqian, and their friends who came with them.
Several little girls looked at Chen Mo in a suit and looked like a nymphomaniac. Even Zhang Qianqian was attracted by Chen Mo: "Cousin Chen Mo is so handsome."
"A few seconds of world, sighing the extraordinary meaning... The silk ribbon floats up to cover the sunset, playing a heart-breaking ancient song..." Chen Mo raised his voice and directly changed into a female voice. When he heard this voice, including
Brett and the other foreigners' scalps suddenly exploded.
This... is indeed a female voice. Although it is somewhat similar to Chen Mo's original voice, it is indeed a female voice and is sung in a Chinese drama style...
Chen Xiao's scalps were also numb, and goosebumps instantly appeared.
A melancholy smile appeared at the corner of Chen Mo's mouth, and the two-voice singing was full of charm. He pinched the orchid finger in his hand: "When I lift up the picture, I don't know whose ink pen it is. A touch of rouge covers my thoughts. After a few drinks, I feel drunk.
…”
"Oh, buy it!" Brett grabbed his hair and stood at the edge of the stage, staring at Chen Mo in shock.
