Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 115: Talking without a tune

More than 30 organizations participated in the competition, each with a team of at least 30 people. Adding to the spectators, the Cultural Palace was practically packed.

"Junjun, you have good eyesight, did you see your grandma?"

Father Chen put his hands over his eyelids.

The line of sight is from left to right, and from right to left,
It's so dazzling that no one can tell them apart.

Junjun stood on the small round stool on the platform, holding Sun Zhigang's head tightly with his small hands, and said anxiously:

"Grandpa, I don't see where my grandma is either."

In previous competitions, participants from various units and factories would wear the work uniforms of their respective units.

You can tell which store is which just by looking at the clothes.

But the main theme of this competition is "let a hundred flowers bloom" and "lively and enthusiastic".

Each unit can choose its own costumes according to the style and theme of its group dance.

Although this is a good thing for the vigorous development of the provincial capital's culture, it is not a good thing for the Chen family.

Don’t even mention that Father Chen couldn’t see where Mother Chen was.

Even Chen Luyang was dizzy.

The square is full of colorful flags fluttering.
I don’t know which unit got the Flame Mountain dance costume. I don’t know what kind of thing was sewn on the big skirt, but it reflected light like a glass ball, which almost blinded him.

It seemed impossible to find Chen's mother in the vast crowd.

Chen Luyang shifted his strategy and said:
"Junjun, look at the crowd and see whose clothes look like those of a yangge dancer. That's your grandma's team.

"Roger that!"

Junjun received the order and once again swept through the crowd in the square. Then his eyes lit up and he pointed to the left side of the square and said:

"Grandma's there!"

Chen Luyang and others quickly looked in the direction of Junjun's finger.

There was a small group of people in brightly colored clothes gathered together, doing the final rehearsal before the competition.

Who else could it be but Chen's mother at the front of the team, raising her hands and shouting slogans!

Chen Luyang was amused by what he saw.

"I don't notice it when I see her every day, but when my mom stands next to other little old ladies, she really looks young!"

Father Chen was proud: "What else can I say, my wife! When your mother was young, she was so powerful! Her little waist was much straighter than it is now."

Chen Luyang immediately interjected, praising, "Of course! My dad's vision is absolutely amazing."

It is autumn now, and it is cool in the morning and evening, but scorching hot when the sun comes out.

The sun is very poisonous.

Father Chen felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, so he took the kettle and went downstairs to give her some water.

Chen Luyang quickly said, "Dad, there are so many people here, it's inconvenient for you to squeeze through, I'll go get some water for Mom."

Father Chen frowned, looking at the crowded crowd, and felt a little worried.

"...Okay! Did you put the candy I asked you to bring for your mom in your pocket?"

Chen Luyang patted his trouser pockets proudly: "It's a must!"

"You guys stay here, I'm going to go downstairs to see our mom."

Saying,

Chen Luyang carried the water bottle and ran down the stairs in two steps.

When Chen Luyang ran to the square, he happened to catch up with the pre-race warm-up of the machinery factory.

Just as Chen's mother found a shady place to rest, she saw Chen Luyang jogging towards her through the crowd.

"Why are you here? Where are your dad and the others?"

"My dad and the others are in the stands. He was worried you might be thirsty, so he asked me to bring you some water."

As soon as these words came out, Chen's mother's face immediately became as happy as a flower, and she looked at her own son with such admiration.

But he said: "All he does is make trouble every day~"

"No one else drinks water, but you two are being special~"

Mother Chen took the kettle and took a sip, her eyes suddenly lit up!
"Sweet? Is this boiled sand apple water?
Chen Luyang said with a smile: "Of course! My sister specially cut some sand apple slices and boiled some water to make this drink for you this morning, just to make it refreshing for you."

"Isn't it nice to drink something warm?"

Chen Mule's face flushed, and she nodded repeatedly: "Great! Great and sweet!"

"Come on, son, have a drink too."

As she spoke, Chen's mother raised the kettle and brought it to Chen Luyang's mouth.

Chen Luyang didn't hesitate and took two sips with his head tilted back.

"Okay, Mom, drink less and moisten your throat. If you drink too much, you'll need to go to the bathroom during the game."

Chen Luyang didn't dare let Chen's mother drink more, so he took the kettle and slung it over his shoulder.

Then he took out a piece of candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and handed it to Chen's mother's mouth.

"Come on, Mom, let's suck on some candy~"

Mother Chen ate the candy happily, her eyes curved into crescent shapes when she smiled, and two dimples appeared on her face.

Chen Luyang exclaimed: "My mother is so sweet when she is happy!"

"When we go on stage to compete later, I'll just be so cheerful that I guarantee all the judges will be so confused by their laughter that no one will be able to beat me!"

Mother Chen smiled and pinched him: "Go away! Your words are out of tune!"

"Okay, stop bothering me. I have to go on stage to compete soon, so I need to adjust my mindset!"

"Alright! I'll step back first~"

Chen Luyang happily watched Chen's mother return to the team and was about to return to the small platform on the stairs.

When he turned around, he saw a woman looking at him with a smile.

moment,

Chen Luyang gritted his teeth, his heart was full of mixed emotions, joy and anger!!!
OK……

I couldn't find you, but you came to me!

Chen Jinyue smiled: "What? I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you recognize me?"

Chen Luyang immediately showed his little white teeth and smiled, "Let's get to know each other. Who doesn't know Comrade Bai Xue?"

Today, Chen Jinyue wore a white dress, had her hair curled, and wore a pair of high heels, looking pretty and charming.

Damn it...

How come this woman is even prettier than the last time we met!

Chen Luyang's mind was shaken, and just as he was about to speak, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he stretched out his arms to block Chen Jinyue's side.

"Ok?"

Chen Jinyue was caught off guard and looked to the side.

There were so many people coming and going that I didn't know who had knocked the colorful flags tied to the tree crooked.

If Chen Luyang hadn't been quick-eyed and quick-handed, the colorful flag would have hit him.

The young man's tall body blocked her way, and his outstretched arms just held her in front of him, as if he was hugging her in the air.

Chen Jinyue's face turned red in an instant.

For a moment, her mind went blank and her heart was pounding!
"Who tied this? It's so loose, it's going to hit someone!"

Chen Luyang cursed, moved the small water bottle on his chest to his back, squatted down, untied the rope and tied the colorful flag again.

Chen Jinyue watched the young man bending down to tie the colorful flags, and quickly took a few deep breaths to calm his heartbeat.

"Sister? Why is your face so red? Are you allergic?"

Chen Luyang stood up and was shocked to see Chen Jinyue’s red face.

Chen Jinyue's smile froze, and he quickly said, "No, it's just a little hot."

After a pause,
Chen Jinyue glanced at his arm sheepishly and asked, "Is your arm okay?"
