The whole family staying together is the source of the greatest happiness.
The old people are always very happy when they are with the younger people.
For example, at the Hong family gathering on this day, the entertainment activities in the small foreign-style building were a very eye-catching scene that was suitable for all ages.
Not only did Hong Yanwu get a record player, he also found a lot of old records from somewhere, including songs and operas.
After lunch and having nothing to do, Hong Yanwen went to play with it, trying to see if it could be released.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing wrong with the machine and the old records were of good quality.
Once you play it, the sound is pretty good.
This time, not only everyone was attracted.
It also reminded Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin of the "Parlem Gate" and "Xianle Palace" in Shanghai in the past.
After hearing the old couple talk about how they were back then, everyone naturally became more interested.
The children of the Hong family asked their parents to dance to a song one after another, wanting to see how they danced back then.
Therefore, Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin could not resist their warm hospitality, so they rarely showed off their dancing skills in front of their family members.
But what everyone didn't expect was that not only could the old man dance, but his level was extremely high, which shocked everyone.
Speaking of this, the process is very interesting.
At the beginning, the old couple danced to "Tuberose" and "Ye Huhai".
Such pieces have a slower tempo, which is the common dance steps of slow three (slow waltz) and slow four (blues).
At that time, most dancers knew how to dance, and it was not difficult for beginners to master it. There was nothing outstanding about the dance steps.
The grandsons and daughters of the Hong family cheered for him, but in fact they were just happy for the sake of being happy and applauded for the sake of cheering.
Especially Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanwu, because they claim to be good dancers.
Gradually, they lost interest and the cheers became a bit overwhelming.
But they didn't expect that people also have a childish side when they get older.
Hong Lucheng, who was over sixty years old, saw that the two brothers were exaggerating and perfunctory, and actually got a little angry.
The old man also had the idea of showing off his real person.
He then actively requested to play "Rose, Rose, I Love You" and even performed a foxtrot with his wife Wang Yunlin.
This was an extraordinary moment, and the whole family was fascinated by the revelation of his true abilities.
You must know that this song is not only fast-paced, but the dance steps are also complicated. Back then, only dancers who were skilled in dance steps could dance it.
And even if the dance steps can be mastered, the postures are difficult to look beautiful.
Ordinary people often sway left and right, and may hunch their backs and tilt their heads if they are not careful.
Therefore, there are very few dancers who can truly achieve graceful postures.
But for the old couple, even the correct posture is no longer important.
Their skills have reached a more advanced level.
The focus of the dance postures they showed was actually how to apply multi-minute footwork in dance.
The combination of fast steps and slow steps that follow the rhythm is not only light and flexible, but also diverse.
It looks like walking on the clouds, so smooth.
Now, how can it not shock everyone?
No one expected that this old couple would have such a modern and lively side.
There is no doubt that the audience immediately became really excited, and the applause was extremely enthusiastic.
Before the dance ended, the two old men were suddenly surrounded by their grandchildren.
Everyone is rushing to ask them how they can dance so well? What kind of dance is this? Who did they learn it from?
In today's terms, everyone at the scene was "attracted fans" by the dance of the old man and the old lady.
Only when the mystery was revealed did everyone know.
It turns out that these two old people paid money to hire foreign teachers to teach them for social needs in Shanghai.
I have been studying in different categories for a whole year, and I have several years of practical experience on the dance floor. I am definitely at a professional level among amateurs.
And in such a comparison, brothers Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanwu were all ashamed.
What does their knowledge mean? They are nothing more than trivial.
On the contrary, the old man had some fun. He was very angry and asked Hong Yanwu to play Li Xianglan's "When Will You Come Again" and performed another tango.
Of course, Mr. Hong is over sixty after all. Due to physical reasons, he was actually unable to accompany him to the end of the dance.
But in terms of their skills, gestures, and the tacit understanding between the two, they can definitely compare to the tango scene between Tao Jin and Wang Xiaotang in the movie "Heroes Die Hard".
The difference is too obvious. What you have practiced specifically is different from what you have learned temporarily for a performance.
In this way, the Hong family's enthusiasm for dancing was unleashed.
Then the young people tried it one by one, and they all had a private dance on the parquet floor of the living room happily.
By the time I was tired and thirsty from dancing, it was a quarter past three in the afternoon.
Just in accordance with the British afternoon custom, the whole family drank tea and had snacks.
Then, Master Mei's "Sacrifice to Red" and Zhang Jinliang's "Hua Zi Gathering Gold" were added to the record.
Just listening wasn't enough, the card table was set up, and Xu Manli and Xu Chongya accompanied the two elders to play mahjong.
Listening to Peking Opera playing cards is a unique pleasure.
And others won't be bored either.
Shui Qing and Hong Yanru took the children to the garden to run around and play, and then took them back to the basement to watch "Nezha Makes the Sea".
The three Hong brothers and Chen Liquan spent their time drinking beer and playing pool.
We played until evening, then packed up the barbecue pit and ingredients together, and arranged an outdoor barbecue for the whole family.
In short, the Hong family rested here that day, drank a lot of fine wine and talked about ordinary gossip.
The gathering of the foreigners was a great time, and it was more enjoyable than the traditional "three major festivals".
Later, on the day of Children's Day, Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya happily took Hong Baht and moved to the small foreign house.
The children of the Hong family, of course, spent another day playing wildly in the playground of Laozhaihuayuanzi.
Hong Yanwu did not forget the old man's wish.
Then on June 2, he passed Song Guofu's sister Song Pingping, who was already working at "Beijing TV Station".
A photographer and a director with equipment were specially invited to come to Hong's house to film an exclusive interview with the old man about finding his family.
After finishing the filming, I planned to rip a few tapes and let Hong Yanwen broadcast it through the Hong Kong media through the "Cancer Promotion Association" so as to find the Hong family's relatives who have been separated overseas.
But things in the world are sometimes so evil that they cannot be explained.
It seems that due to the "hidden revelation of history", just over a week has passed.
On the seventh night of the TV series "Four Generations Under One House" on June 11, the Hong family's long-lost overseas relatives unexpectedly found their heads.
The scene at that time was like this.
Qiu Zi's mother, who had not received the Hong family's phone number for a long time, came to the door for the first time and said that there was a southerner at the public phone in the west courtyard who wanted to see Hong Lucheng.
Needless to say, Hong Yanwu's family must not have come back yet, otherwise Qiu Zi's mother would not have found her way to the east courtyard.
And the old man was watching the business in the tavern. No matter how he thought about it, Hong Yanzheng, the eldest son, must come forward to deal with such strange things.
So despite being reluctant to part with many characters in the TV series "Little Sheep Sheep", Hong Yanzheng hurriedly followed Qiuzi's mother to find out.
But when he answered the phone, he just said, "I am Hong Yanzheng, the son of Hong Lucheng. My father is not here, who are you?" He started to feel confused.
Because a voice with a southern accent and a bit choked "Second brother..." came from inside.
"Are you admitting it wrong? I don't know you?"
Unexpectedly, there was another call on the phone.
"I...I am you...your cousin who has been lost for more than thirty years..."
"What did you say? Who are you?"
"I am...I am your eldest brother, Hong Yankang."
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
Anyway, at that time Hong Yanzheng felt a "bang" in his heart, like a big bell ringing.
I couldn't help but yell into the phone.
"What did you say? You...you are my eldest brother?"
The person on the other side was also excited.
"Yeah, I, I'm coming to see you..."
It's a pity that people are most in need of psychological quality when they are excited. Some people are easily controlled by their inner demons.
Specific examples are Fan Jin who passed the national examination and Sun Delong who was drunk.
And Hong Yanzheng is actually similar to them.
His excitement was momentary, followed by a burst of unbelievable shock and confusion.
He frowned and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
And in the recollection of the past, I feel lost and dejected.
Unknowingly, his hand softened and the microphone dropped from his ear. Well, he subconsciously hung it up out of habit.
When Qiuzi's mother complained, "Ouch! Why did you die!",
Only then did he regain his composure.
Of course it's too late.
At this time, no matter how anxious he was, he picked up the phone again and said, "Hey, hey, hey...". There was no sound on the phone.
And for some reason, he poked at Yoyo'er and waited for an hour, but the caller calling himself Hong Yankang never called again.
He was so regretful that he wished he could give himself a mouthful.
