================

After Chen Xi's special performance was finalized, intensive preparations began.

The venue, lighting, and choreography, Jiang Wenlong and Ji Qingtang, who are the organizers, have also put in a lot of effort and must strive for excellence.

As the provider of the idea for the whole performance, Chen Xi tried his best to present his ideas on paper for others to understand. For this special performance, he also did his best.

When Chen Xi went out to run special performances during the day and Xiao Yuanzi performed at night, he suddenly learned that the owner of Youranju, the grandmother Jin who had been kind to them before, had been hospitalized.



"Aunt Jin's sons and daughters are all abroad. Even if I notify them, they can't come here immediately."

At this time, in the corridor of the hospital, Manager Gao said to Chen Xi.

Don't look at Manager Gao as the manager of Youranju, he has also taken care of Grandma Jin as his family all these years.

At that time, Manager Gao's own company closed down due to the bad economic situation, and owed a lot of foreign debts. When he was desperate, he happened to come to Youranju and met Grandma Jin.

The old man had a good heart, so he invited Manager Gao to drink a cup of tea and enlightened him a bit.

Manager Gao is very useful.

Grandma Jin saw that Manager Gao might need money, so she asked him if he would like to come to this teahouse as a manager.

At that time, Grandma Jin was getting old and no longer wanted to manage the teahouse, so she wanted to find a manager.

Manager Gao agreed without thinking about it.

Manager Gao didn't disappoint Grandma Jin either. Since he took over Youranju, the teahouse has been managed in an orderly manner by him.

And it may be to repay the old man's love in the past. Manager Gao worked in Youranju for ten years. During this period, a professional headhunter came to poach him, but he did not leave.

Now that the golden grandmother is not around, Manager Gao has taken on the responsibility of taking care of the elderly.

"Actually, I didn't intend to tell you. We also know that you have been very busy recently."

Manager Gao smiled,

"How do you know, Aunt Jin has been nagging to see you."

"Brother Gao, we've known each other for so many years, so I don't need to say polite words. I definitely want to know what Grandma Jin has." Chen Xi continued to ask, "How is the situation now?"

"It's just that I'm getting old, and the various organs of the body are a little exhausted, and the physiological functions are a little weakened, but everything else is fine. I'll stay in the hospital for a few days, recuperate and recuperate, and I'll probably be discharged from the hospital. Let's go, let's go and have a look," the two said. Then, all the way into the ward.

Entering the ward, Chen Xi saw Grandma Jin lying on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep, her face was haggard, and she looked even older; there was still a drip on her hand, presumably it was some nutrient solution or something .

Sitting next to her was a woman in her 40s. This woman looked ordinary, but she had an ordinary sense of intimacy. She was the wife of Manager Gao.

"Sister-in-law." Chen Xi greeted her.

"Here you are, sit down. Aunt Jin was talking about you just now." After speaking, Manager Gao's wife stood up and gave up her seat.

After Chen Xi sat down, Manager Gao and his wife left the ward, leaving room for Chen Xi and Grandma Jin.

"Grandma, I'm here." Chen Xi leaned forward and gently called Grandma Jin.

Grandma Jin moved her eyelids, and then slowly opened them.

When she saw Chen Xi for the first time, she smiled, and that smile had the innocence of a child.

"Xiaoxi, you are here."

"I'm here, grandma, you are looking for me." Chen Xi's nose was a little sore, and he raised his hand to hold Grandma Jin's hand that was not on the IV.

The old man's hands were rough, but extremely warm.

In fact, the hospital has been carrying too much sadness and parting for a long time. He is now in a strong body and does not have much feeling for the hospital, but one day, when his relatives and friends are lying here, he will find that maybe Some things that I didn't want to mention in the past will all come to my mind. This is an unavoidable reincarnation as a human being.

"Yes, Xiaoxi, I'm looking for you." Grandma Jin panted, "Xiaoxi, I want to listen to cross talk."

Chen Xi, who was still in a somewhat sad atmosphere just now, was taken aback for a moment, and the next second he laughed a little: "Grandma, I am still serious here, and you actually told me that you want to listen to cross talk."

"Well, I want to hear cross talk." Grandma Jin repeated.

"What is this!"

Chen Xi looked at the old boy with a smile,

"If you want to listen to cross talk, someday I will ask Amano to come over and give you a performance here. You can order whatever you want to hear. I can talk about traditional cross talk and new cross talk. I can also talk about stand-up comedy. By the way, I He can also sing the big drum, which part of the big drum do you want to hear?" Chen Xi directly said everything he can perform now.

Grandma Jin shook her head slightly: "Don't look at Xiaoxi."

"what?"

Chen Xi tilted his head,

"Then who do you want to listen to? I guess the famous cross talker's is a little bit too much. How about I give you the whole video?"

"I want to watch Chen Qisheng and Han Fu Parallel."

Hearing these two names, Chen Xixuan didn't react.

Fortunately, he had seen the performance of these two people when he was learning cross talk, otherwise he would have never known that these two were his grandfather and Han Tianye's grandfather.

That's right, these two names are stage names, taken from 'Sheng Qi Pian Fu', which means auspiciousness and happiness come together.

"My grandfather?" Chen Xi tried to ask, "But they are too old, can they still be on stage?"

"I want to see, I want to see theirs." Grandma Jin held her mouth as she spoke, and she was about to cry.

It is said that old children, old children, when people reach a certain age, their personality becomes like a child. They were fine just now, but now they are crying.

"Don't cry, grandma, I'll go back and ask my grandpa."

"Let's see."

"No problem, grandma, whether my grandpa agrees or not, I will drag him onto the stage, how about it?" Seeing that grandma Jin was in tears, Chen Xi quickly agreed.

"Hey!" After a long time of promises, Grandma Jin finally grinned.



Han Tianye, who received Chen Xi's call, also had a puzzled expression on his face. Grandma Jin actually wanted to see his grandpa and Grandpa Chen Xi perform on stage, and she didn't suffer anywhere!

"Where are you now? In this way, I will pick up my grandfather now, and then go to your grandfather to discuss this matter." Chen Xi was determined to finish this matter on the phone.

"What kind of crazy are you smoking? Those two old men are in their eighties. How dare you let them take the stage?" At this time, Han Tianye, who was in the group company, said into the phone.

His father has been following him recently, maybe because the work he inspected last time was too good, he was called to the company from time to time, and he was given some work to keep him busy, and he didn't give money, just ordering others for nothing.

Han Tianye knows that this is a change in his father's attitude towards him, but he thinks it's better not to change, he prefers the previous free-range attitude of ignoring him, at least he can be more free and do whatever he wants.

"Grandma Jin has loved our grandpas all her life. When she gets old, she wants to see another performance on stage. This request is not too much. Besides, what's wrong with being eighty, the old artist ninety can still go on stage."

Chen Xi said with some dissatisfaction on the phone,

"Besides, I didn't say that I directly pressed the two old men to come to the stage. I don't have to ask first. Forget it, I won't tell you. It's so bad to do something."

"I'm bad at doing things?" Han Tianye sneered, "I don't know who was so impulsive before."

Chen Xi was a little annoyed when he heard that this person actually brought up the previous incident, but he didn't refute it, instead he hung up the phone directly to express his attitude.

"Hey!"

Han Tianye looked annoyed at the hung up phone, this guy is still like this.

Han Tianye was worried that his grandfather would be frightened by Chen Xi and had no intention of going to work, so he told his father, and walked out of Han's Group quickly under the surprised eyes of the company staff.



At this time, outside the villa, in the open-air garden, the tip of his nose was full of the fragrance of green grass that had been dried by the sun. Chen Xi looked at the two old men sitting beside the tea table in front of him, waiting for their reply.

After a while, old man Han let out a breath, looked at his old partner when he was young: "What do you think?"

Chen Xi's grandfather touched the stubble on his chin, looked up at the blue sky:

"I still have an impression of this Xiaojin. When we were young, we were loyal fans of cross talk. At that time, we traveled all over the country to perform, and this Xiaojin has been following us. Now this Xiaojin has also become an old lady, and now My health is not good, and I still want to listen to our cross talk when I am old, I think this can be done."

After speaking, Mr. Chen turned his head to look at Mr. Han, his eyes naturally fell on his legs, "I just don't know if you can still go on stage."

Old Man Han smiled, and patted his leg: "If it doesn't work, I'll just sit in a wheelchair, so that we are the same height, and we can be more harmonious."

"Go, go!" Mr. Chen immediately blew his beard and stared at him, "I've been talking about my height for half my life, and you're not tired of it."

Old Man Han laughed loudly, and then he glanced at Chen Xi who was also smiling at the side: "By the way, your boss gave birth to a grandson, but grew taller. Is this your own grandson?"

The topic is getting more and more off-topic.

"Why isn't it my own grandson? You can't talk nonsense about this matter of flesh and blood!" Mr. Chen immediately said seriously.

Chen Xi didn't expect this topic to come to him. Although he was joking, he still explained it seriously:

"Grandpa Han, it's mainly because my grandfather forced me to act as a clown in Peking Opera when I was a child, but I thought it was too ugly, so I tried my best to drink milk, and finally grew into a tall man, so that my grandfather would not force me. .”

This is the truth.

Because of his height, size and appearance, Mr. Chen learned the ugliness in Peking Opera, so he planned to train Chen Xi to learn this trade as well.

But who knew that Chen Xi was so good-looking when he was born, and Mr. Chen struggled with it for a long time, but after struggling with it, he felt that Chen Xi could still be cultivated.

But Chen Xi disagrees. When he was a child, he hadn’t established the three views. He didn’t understand why he dedicated himself to art. Anyway, he felt that the clown was too ugly and didn’t want to learn it. So when his grandfather taught him, he tried his best to drink Milk, want to grow taller.

Finally one day, while drinking, a miracle happened, and he finally pulled up.

When Mr. Chen saw the handsome 1.8-meter young man, he stopped planning to let Chen Xi continue to act ugly.

A burst of laughter came over, interrupting the conversation of the three of them, Chen Xi looked over, and suddenly, his face turned back, it turned out that it was Han Tianye who came over.

"Grand grandson, why are you here?" Old Master Han greeted Han Tianye with a smile.

"I heard your conversation just now, are you really planning to perform on stage?" Han Tianye asked after sitting next to Mr. Han.

"We were quite shocked at first, but considering that Xiao Jin is also our loyal fan, it is really rare to want to hear us talk about cross talk when we are old."

Mr. Chen smiled, and then threw his arm at his grandson, which means that you provoked this matter, so what do you have to say.

Chen Xi reluctantly said:

"Grandma Jin is a little demented now, and her personality is like a child's. I'm also afraid that she won't be able to think about it, so I will try my best to satisfy the total."

Mr. Chen and Mr. Han nodded at the side.

In fact, at this age, they have already thought about everything, and they don't care about fame, fortune, glory and wealth. It should be said that apart from the people around them, there are very few things that can make them so excited.

Today I heard fans from their youth want to listen to their cross talk again, which actually stirred up their long-silent hearts in their twilight years, and people can't help but start to recall the scenes when they appeared on the stage to talk about cross talk when they were young.

Perhaps it was to help Xiao Jin realize his dream, but more importantly, he found a comfort to look back on in their somewhat monotonous twilight years.

Seeing that the two elders agreed, Han Tianye couldn't stop him, then he looked at Chen Xi and said, "Since the matter is settled, let's choose a day."

Seeing that Han Tianye did not object, Chen Xi was also relieved, and began to discuss the day when he would go to Youranju to perform for Grandma Jin alone.

After setting the time, Chen Xi planned to leave, perhaps to ensure the success of the show, or perhaps because the two old men were still immersed in the cross talk when they were young, anyway, today old man Chen did not leave and stayed.

Chen Xi couldn't disappoint, he just told his grandfather to pay attention to his body, then turned and left, but unexpectedly, Han Tianye followed.

"I'll see you off."

"It's okay, I took a taxi, so there's no need to send it."

"I said I'll take you to the gate."

Chen Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Han Tianye: "...I thought you were sending me home, but I think you are not so kind!"

"The kindness depends on who you are, asking you to hang up on me just now." Han Tianye looked at Chen Xi with a smile.

Chen Xi glared at Han Tianye: "Just be careful."

As soon as he said that, he turned his head and left, and then said,

"Don't follow me, I'll go by myself."

Seeing Chen Xi's angry appearance, Han Tianye was amused again: "Don't, let me see you off." Saying that, he chased him out.



On this day, Leisurely Residence was closed for one day.

In the lobby, Grandma Jin was sitting in a wheelchair, looking helplessly at the empty stage.

She remembered that when she was young, she was sitting in the audience like this, waiting for her idol to appear on the stage.

This expectation, this anxiety, even though the sea has changed, has not retreated because of the erosion of time.

In her twilight years, she still has such high expectations.

Seeing Grandma Jin's anxious appearance, Manager Gao and his wife standing behind her comforted her in a low voice from time to time, telling her to be calm.

At this moment, Chen Xi took the microphone onto the stage, and he spoke to the only audience in the audience:

"Hello audience friends, today I am honored to invite two old gentlemen Chen Qisheng and Han Fuping to perform cross talk for us. Next, please enjoy the cross talk "Cross Talk Life." After finishing speaking, he turned and stepped off the stage.

Hearing that her idol in her youth was about to take the stage, Grandma Jin immediately cheered and applauded, acting like an innocent child.

After a while, Chen Xi helped his grandfather, Han Tianye pushed his grandfather, and the grandparents and grandchildren stepped onto the stage.

The two old men deliberately put on black coats today, and most of their graying hair was combed neatly. For today's performance, the two also deliberately groomed.

Pushing the two old men to the front of the microphone and the scene table respectively, Chen Xi and Han Tianye hurriedly left the stage, and then came to the auditorium to watch their grandfather's performance with Grandma Jin and the others.

Old man Chen was joking, standing in front of the microphone, with trembling hands, adjusting the microphone. In fact, there was no need to adjust it. Chen Xi had already adjusted it according to his grandfather's height, but this was a subconscious action of the old man's many years of stage performances.

Elder Han, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside him, cheered. He looked at the fans, handkerchiefs, and Xingmu used for cross talk on the table in front of him, and felt very friendly for a moment.

However, he quickly focused on Mr. Chen, waiting for his old partner to speak.

Mr. Chen glanced at the partner who had already prepared, and this was the beginning.

"It's a great honor to be on stage again today."

"Hey, yes!"

"What cross talk shall we talk about today?" Old Master Chen said, and glanced at Old Master Han beside him.

"You're joking, you decide." Mr. Han praised with a smile.

"Then let's pull a rickshaw for a while." Mr. Chen decided.

"Alright."

"Forget it, let's change it." Mr. Chen said, but suddenly changed his mind.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Han looked at his partner pretending to be puzzled.

"Aren't you all sitting in one?" As he said, Mr. Chen pointed to the wheelchair under Mr. Han's buttocks.

"Me! Well, I'm called a wheelchair, not a rickshaw, so don't let me get away with it later!" Old Man Han waved his hand, and flipped through his bag in cooperation.

"Hahaha!"

Just the short remark before this made Chen Xi, Han Tianye and the others laugh uncontrollably, and Grandma Jin laughed out loud. There seemed to be a long-standing free and easy laugh in that laughter, but more, it was a kind of Some childish wanton joy.

Smiling and laughing, Chen Xi and Han Tianye looked at their grandfather.

The two old men are stooped now, but full of energy. Judging from their facial expressions and demeanor, they still have the same demeanor on the stage back then, and it is even better than before.

It may be that I didn't expect to be able to perform on stage in this twilight year. I was full of excitement and vitality in my heart. The cross talk talk was full of enthusiasm, and people couldn't help being addicted to it.

This is the strength of an old cross talk artist with many years of stage experience.

At this moment, Chen Xi's eyes came to Grandma Jin again.

He found that Grandma Jin also had an excited face, and her eyes were shining with brilliance, which was flickering with the performance of the two actors on the stage.

He was taken aback suddenly, as if he had realized something.

Perhaps this is the best portrayal of the relationship between idols and fans. It has nothing to do with love, but just a spiritual resonance.

Idols use their expressiveness to show themselves, allowing fans to get a kind of support called admiration, which supports them to be inspired and motivated in this somewhat mediocre world.

This kind of idol power can influence fans.

Just like a fan like Grandma Jin, maybe a word from the two old men on the stage will become the spiritual pillar of her life.

Idols influence their fans, and fans' admiration in turn inspires idols.

It's a somewhat wondrous symbiotic relationship, but one that's more romantic.

And this kind of romance, he saw here today.

After the performance, Grandma Jin returned to the hospital to continue recuperating, while Mr. Chen and Mr. Han also left Youranju.

They didn't say much to Grandma Jin, this is the distance that idols and fans should keep, maybe in this way, they won't destroy the beauty that once existed in each other's hearts.

Chen Xi finally understood why, even though she lived in Beijing for so many years, she never saw Grandma Jin go to see his grandpa. It seems that Grandma Jin has no intention of changing the relationship between idols and fans. She thinks very clearly, she just wants to be a fan , under the stage, quietly watching his idol talking about cross talk.

Grandma Jin is really a very qualified and restrained fan.

Sitting in Han Tianye's car, the two old men kept talking about the topic of cross talk on the way back, and said that they could let Chen Xi and Han Tianye perform in the future.

The light shining in the eyes of the two old men was a little intimidating, but also a little enviable. It was the result of their extreme pursuit of one thing.

Looking at it, Chen Xi looked at Han Tianye who was driving again, and suddenly had a feeling, it seems that it is good to have a partner in cross talk.

"What's wrong?" Han Tianye noticed Chen Xi's gaze, and asked slightly.

"fine."

Chen Xi laughed, and then he suddenly thought of something and planned to ask this person for his opinion.

"I suddenly thought of a show and wanted to perform it in a special session." He expressed his idea.

Han Tianye glanced at Chen Xi: "Very good, it seems fans are blessed."

"Hey!" Chen Xi laughed.

Since this day, Chen Xi's attitude towards his fans has changed significantly. He feels that since these fans like him so much, they deserve some response from him, so Chen Xi greets and chats with fans from time to time.

However, his changes made the fans flattered, and some fans who couldn't believe it even raised doubts in person:

"Brother Xi, are you okay? If something happens, you must tell us. We will always support you."

"Brother Xi, did you take the wrong medicine? It's not like you anymore to be so gentle. Where did the violent captain go?"

Chen Xi: "..."

How come he doesn't have as cute fans as Grandma Kim?
