Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 89 It’s time to go on stage
As the factory's National Day celebration approaches, all workshops and departments are rehearsing their programs intensively.

But who knew that at this time, the union would cause trouble again.

"Sing?"

Chen Luyang stared at Hao Fengchun with wide eyes.

"Yes." Hao Fengchun nodded.

"Didn't we organize a large-scale experimental language course together with the Ascension Workshop?"

“The response from the factory has been very good.”

"So the union decided to have each of our two workshops produce a song in one language."

"We sing Japanese songs, and the Ascension Workshop sings French songs."

Chen Luyang: ...

So he has to perform two shows this time?!
Hao Fengchun said, "Deputy Director Yu attaches great importance to this singing event. We must choose the right songs and sing them well to express the spirit of our integrated workshop!"

Chen Luyang nodded, thinking that his life was more important.

Who would dare not do something that Deputy Director Yu personally inquired about?!
If we don't sing well, the fusion workshop will lose face in front of all the men in the factory.
Deputy Director Yu has such a hot temper that he would run over and kick them to death one by one!

"Xiao Chen, you know Japanese better here. What song do you think would be good to sing?"

"Spring in the North!"

Chen Luyang spoke without hesitation.

Not to mention that "Spring in the North" is a famous song, everyone has heard it.

Now he teaches military singing every night. With his rich experience, it is easier for him to teach others.

"Okay! Then sing Spring in the North!"

Hao Fengchun agreed without any hesitation.

Chen Luyang asked, "Uncle Hao, our factory is having a Japanese song performance at the art festival. Should we bring Ebe Wataruichiro?"

Although Wataru Ebe was "bought".

The establishment is not in the factory,
But now, Wataru Ebe is working hard with everyone every day.

The workshop has long regarded him as one of its own and a part of the team.

It seemed inappropriate to leave him alone for the collective activities in the workshop.

“This is inappropriate.”

Hao Fengchun refused directly.

"Ebe Wataru is a guest and will be sitting in the audience to watch the show."

"How can we let guests sing on stage?"

Chen Luyang nodded.

"Okay, then I'll start teaching everyone to sing tonight."

Because before, Chen Luyang and the people in the workshop had already learned the pronunciation of many Japanese words,

In addition, everyone often listens to the song "Spring in the North", so we learn it quickly.

Sometimes, even when he was pooping in the rest area toilet, he would hum a few lines while smoking.

On the other hand, with the help of Chen Luyang who was madly feeding Xiao Zao'er,

Junjun finally won the selection to be the receptionist of the Young Pioneers' train. He successfully put on the bright red scarf and stood with his back straight, ready to set off for the children's park.

It's a coincidence.

The visit of Japanese foreign guests took place on the same day as the machinery factory’s October 1st cultural performance.

Chen Lihong was busy early in the morning.

First, iron Sun Zhigang's clothes and let him prepare for the factory's cultural performance.

Then he started to take care of his little monkey.

This is Junjun's first time to participate in such a grand event. She is worried about letting him go alone, so she has to accompany him.

As Junjun's most trusted aunt, Chen Lingling must be at his side.

The two sisters gave Sun Junjun a good beating.

If she wasn't afraid that foreign guests would see her being unserious, Chen Lihong would even want to put a red dot between Junjun's eyebrows.

And early in the morning,

As a performer, Chen Luyang arrived at the venue early to prepare before going on stage.

In the venue, a large banner with the words "Provincial Machinery Factory's National Day Celebration Art Performance" was hung high above the stage.

Except for the workers on duty in the factory security department, mail room, and some machinery and instrumentation departments who cannot leave their posts, basically all employees squeezed into the auditorium in advance to prepare to grab a good seat.

This art performance was not only to celebrate the National Day, but also the first large-scale performance after the reform of the machinery factory.
Wang Qingzhou attaches great importance to this.

Not only did he personally review the seating chart for the performance, he also looked at the program.

He even asked the office to send an invitation to the transferred deputy director, inviting him to watch the performance.

As for veteran workers like Chen Dazhi and Jin Dakui, they were arranged to sit in the front row.

They have been working here since the factory was first built, going through their youth and life, and watching it quickly evolve from a repair shop to the large factory with tens of thousands of employees it is today.

Their feelings for the factory are truly deeper than anyone else's.

In order to participate in the art performance, Chen Dazhi not only went to the factory bathhouse to rub his face, but also went to the barber shop to shave.

At this time, Chen's father, wearing a neatly ironed work suit, with the party emblem and the medal of advanced worker representative pinned on his chest, followed Old Jintou and was led to the front row by the union comrades with a rosy face to sit.

"Brother Chen, I saw your father."

Behind the curtain, Song Liaosha poked her head out and kept glancing at the audience seats below.

He glanced and exclaimed:

"How many medals has Uncle Chen won?! I see his left shirt is almost full, it's so shiny!"

Chen Luyang also sighed: "My Uncle Song is really amazing! He sat directly next to the factory director. I don't know when I will be able to sit there."

Song Liaosha turned around and said seriously: "Brother, if you really want to sit, I'll go down and talk to my dad."

"My dad is a good man, he will definitely agree to it."

"Promise you, Second Uncle!"

Chen Luyang almost yelled.

Sometimes he really gave in.

I've only heard of two negatives equaling a positive, but I've never heard of a positive plus a negative!
Uncle Song and that Soviet female expert were such smart people, how could they give birth to such a stupid girl like Song Liaosha?

Everyone is watching the factory-wide cultural performance.

Even if Technician Song agreed to give him his seat, he wouldn't dare sit down!
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Song! I was looking for you guys, why are you hiding here?!"

Secretary Li came over in a hurry and said to them anxiously:

"Everyone is putting on makeup backstage, you two come over here quickly!"

make up?

Chen Luyang was stunned and said, "Sister Li, we don't need to put on makeup anymore, right?"

The other female employees were braiding their hair and combing their hair backstage, but there was nothing much for these two grown men to do.

Secretary Li said, "Of course not! You'll be on stage soon, and everyone in the factory will be looking at you. How can you do this without makeup? Come on over here!"

Having said that, without waiting for Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha to refuse,

Secretary Li pushed the two people to a small corner backstage.

At this time, in a small corner, several female comrades from the logistics department were waiting with wooden combs, large basins and matches in their hands.

Seeing Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha,
Several female comrades recalled the scene in the small auditorium last time, and immediately burst out laughing, covering their mouths with their hands.

"Hurry up and sit down! We're waiting for you two."

A girl pressed Chen Luyang and Song Liaosha on a stool, lit a thin little wooden stick with a "whoosh", and then blew it out with a "whoosh".

In Chen Luyang's surprised eyes,
The girl held a small wooden stick with a burnt end and carefully began to draw Chen Luyang's eyebrows.

This is... an eyebrow pencil?!

Chen Luyang's whole body was stiff, and he dared not move at all, for fear that the girl's hands would tremble and draw him crookedly again.
