Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Chapter 208 First line of a couplet: Playing basketball in overalls (Second update)

In fact, Yang Yunsheng's rhetoric is what his family often uses to urge him to get married.

You're already over twenty-five, you'll be thirty next year.

You're already thirty-two, you'll be forty next year.

What, aren't you planning to get married yet?

Men, once you're over thirty, the only way to get married is to find someone who's been married before.

This is their complete sales script.

Yang Yunsheng continued, "That's considered good. Many of the friends who recorded animations with us back then are no longer in this industry!"

Yan Hexiang interrupted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, we still have friends to join us?"

Yang Yunsheng tentatively asked, "A small gang?"

Yan Hexiang chuckled, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"This little gang is not as good as a friend!"

The audience had a good laugh; they actually hoped it was a small gang!

As everyone knows, only a gang can do such inhuman things!
Yang Yunsheng looked surprised: "Teacher Yan, you don't even remember your friends?"

Yan Hexiang scratched the back of his head and replied, "No, it's just that I'm a little confused right now!"

Yang Yunsheng sighed and pointed to an audience member below the stage, saying, "Teacher Yan, do you recognize this gentleman with glasses?"

Yan Hexiang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "He looks a bit like Teacher Da Bing. I used to love watching his Qi Zhi Da Bing."

Yang Yunsheng waved his hand: "How could it be Teacher Dabing? This is Little Head Dad!"

The older man in the audience pointed at himself and said, "Little Head Dad?"
He paused for a moment, then laughed so hard he coughed.

Yan Hexiang placed his right palm on his eyebrows and examined them carefully.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can this older brother be Little Head Dad?"

At this moment, Yan Hexiang was already laughing.

Yang Yunsheng burst out laughing, and it happened several times.

But Yan Hexiang, who was always calm, also smiled, clearly having been influenced by Yang Yunsheng.

Furthermore, if this older brother hadn't come today, wouldn't Yang Yunsheng's manuscript have been ruined?
What, did you just think of this on the spur of the moment? Improvised?

Yang Yunsheng said, "What, doesn't it look like it?"

Yan Hexiang smacked his lips and replied, "If he looks like him, he can't be Little Head Dad!"

Yang Yunsheng objected: "Why can't that be? Well then, let me ask you something. Do you know the surname of this gentleman in the audience?"

Yan Hexiang raised his voice: "How am I supposed to know that!"

Yang Yunsheng exclaimed, "Oh, right, you don't know? Do you know what Little Head's father's last name is?"

Yan Hexiang shook his head: "I don't know either!"

Yang Yunsheng shrugged and clapped his hands.

"If you don't know, isn't it obvious?"

Yan Hexiang scoffed for a long time before saying, "So, that makes some sense!"

Yang Yunsheng also said, "However, speaking of this matter, I still have to criticize Little Head Dad."

"What's wrong?" Yan Hexiang asked, puzzled.

Yang Yunsheng said, "Just two days ago, I had a gathering with my friends in Haidian, but he didn't come, and he didn't answer the phone."

Yan Hexiang tugged at Yang Yunsheng's arm again: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, where were you having your get-together again?"

"Haidian!"

Yan Hexiang slammed his hand on the table, gritting his teeth, and said, "No, why didn't you call me? I'm in Beijing, I'm in Haidian!"

Yang Yunsheng thought for a moment and began to look for reasons.

"Oh, I remember now, you went for your follow-up appointment that day, that's why I didn't call you."

Yan Hexiang asked in surprise, "No, what happened to me that I went for a follow-up checkup?"

Yang Yunsheng gestured and said, "It means you have amnesia and there are aftereffects. Check if you have hip concussion!"

What the heck? The audience seems to have heard something disgusting, hip vibration?

Goodness, is this how everyone plays?

Yan Hexiang quickly waved his hand: "No, no, that's not true! Besides, what is hip concussion?"

Yang Yunsheng said, "It's because you had something to do, so you went for a checkup."

Yan Hexiang tapped the table with his finger and said with dissatisfaction, "Just talk about the gathering, don't bring up those other irrelevant things."

Yang Yunsheng then said, "It was a gathering! On the day of the gathering, we booked a big restaurant and a large private room. I sat inside and started waiting!"

Yan Hexiang asked in confusion, "No, what are you waiting for?"

Yang Yunsheng replied, "I'll see who gets there first at this gathering!"

Yan Hexiang couldn't help but ask, "So who arrived first?"

Yang Yunsheng was somewhat excited, with a smile on his face.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Yan Hexiang scoffed twice: "No, how could the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have arrived first?"

Yang Yunsheng explained, "You don't understand, do you? This is the capital city. People use the sewers because there's no traffic jam! At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the traffic in the capital is terrible. It's better to use the sewers!"

The audience chuckled; anyone who could afford to come here to watch a crosstalk performance must be both wealthy and have plenty of free time.

So, more than 85% of the people here own a car.

Even if you don't have it yourself, your family has it.

Therefore, I have a deep understanding of the traffic congestion in Beijing.

Especially at night, during those three hours from six to eight o'clock, the traffic is so congested that people can't walk as fast as they can get.

Yang Yunsheng continued, "And now their status is different; they're an underground singer."

Yan Hexiang nodded: "Oh, off to sing!"

Yang Yunsheng said, "As soon as they came in, they started singing to me. 'Brother, long time no see! Brother, let's go have some fun tonight, brother!'"

This was the first time the audience had seen Yang Yunsheng's crosstalk performance, which was so grand and expansive.

This isn't just abstract; it's madness.

Yan Hexiang quickly pulled back Yang Yunsheng, who was running wild, and patted his arm.

"Alright, alright, that's enough!"

Yan Hexiang said, "Let's get down to business and talk things out. Let's not resort to these underhanded tactics!"

Yang Yunsheng also seemed a little embarrassed, so he said, "I said to Michelangelo, 'Brother, let's not sing yet, let's talk things out. Why are you four covered in dirt?'"

Yan Hexiang: "Covered in dirt?"

Yang Yunsheng: "Michelangelo spoke up, brother, don't even mention it, brother."

Yan Hexiang glared and said, "Brother, if you sing again, I'll slap you!"

Yang Yunsheng looked at Yan Hexiang and paused for a moment.

Yan Hexiang said with a hint of exasperation, "Can't you speak properly?"

Yang Yunsheng composed himself and said, "Michelangelo said that when we came here, we were walking peacefully in the sewers when we encountered a lunatic. He was wearing overalls and carrying a basketball on his head."

"Ok?"

Yang Yunsheng continued, "That guy wearing overalls and a basketball on his head, don't talk to me, I'm practicing rapping! I just need to say it for two and a half years and I can become a rapper! I thought to myself, is he sick? Wearing overalls and playing basketball, isn't that stupid!"

Yan Hexiang agreed, saying, "Then why don't you try to persuade him?"

Yang Yunsheng nodded: "I went to persuade him, but then I saw a couplet posted on the back wall. After reading the couplet, I was scared away."

Yan Hexiang asked in bewilderment, "What kind of couplet could scare you away?"

Yang Yunsheng explained: "The first line is about playing basketball in overalls, and the second line is about rapping for two and a half years!"

Yan Hexiang: "What is the horizontal scroll?"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Yang Yunsheng felt awkward for a moment, which made Yan Hexiang feel disgusted.
