The Pentium Era - South to North

Tan Shuzhen was very happy after passing the preliminaries, but Teacher Shi didn't say anything special. It seemed that all this was within her expectations, and indeed it was within her expectations.

Next, Teacher Shi went to her classmates’ homes for dinner. As soon as the competition was over, she chatted with them for a few words and left.

Tan Shuzhen and Shen Linlin completed their mission to Hangzhou and had nothing to do next. They felt completely relaxed. Shen Linlin asked Tan Shuzhen, where are you going at night?

Tan Shuzhen said: "I'm not familiar with Hangzhou at all, and I don't know anything about it."

"Either we go to Wulin Square, eat fast food at the entrance of Hangcheng Building, and then visit Hangcheng Building and International Building. By the way, I also want to go to the Banmutian Women's Lifestyle Flagship Store nearby. I heard that The owner of the store is still from Yongcheng."

Tan Shuzhen was startled. Isn't this Zhang Chen's shop? Feng Laogui and Xiao Wu came here last time when they sent invitations. They also described to themselves when they went back, saying how beautiful this store was.

Tan Shuzhen said: "Okay, I'll just follow you. I'm not familiar with it anyway."

She didn't tell Shen Linlin that the owner of Ban Mu Tian was originally from their theater troupe, and she was very familiar with him.

The two of them got off the bus at Huancheng North Road behind Wulin Square. They first went to the row of simple rooms next to the parking lot in front of Hangcheng Building and ate beef vermicelli and fried buns. Then they went to Hangcheng Building. The things were too expensive. The two of us walked around and bought nothing.

At this time, it was already dark outside. The musical fountain in Wulin Square lit up and there were more people in the square. They stood and looked at the fountain for a while. The Huanbei Small Commodity Market in the square was also open at night. They went in After shopping around, one person bought a hairpin, and Tan Shuzhen returned it to her daughter and bought a Donald Duck toy.

They then crossed Stadium Road and went to the International Building opposite. When they walked to the door, they felt that this place was similar to Hangcheng Building, so they did not go in. They simply walked directly along Yan'an Road towards Jiefang Road to go to Ban Mu Tian Women's Life. flagship store.

Before they reached the door, the two of them were shocked by the lights all over the floor in front of the door and the tall and majestic door. Tan Shuzhen suddenly felt sour in her heart. She seemed to see Zhang Chen in these. It had been a long time since she had seen him. .

Tan Shuzhen used to perform in the sets painted by Zhang Chen and the props designed by him every day. She was very familiar with his style. Yes, these all have the flavor of Zhang Chen.

Tan Shuzhen heard Feng Laogui say that this place is very beautiful, but she didn't know it was so beautiful. No wonder, Feng Laogui's mouth was too stupid, and he didn't have the witty words of Liu Ligan. In addition, it was daytime when they came, so they didn't know that this place was beautiful. The beauty of the night.

The two of them were lingering at the door of the store, seemingly reluctant to go in. Unfortunately, they didn't have a camera. When they entered, they realized that the clothes inside were so beautiful.

Tan Shuzhen saw Zhang Chen's style and Zhang Chen's aura inside. She couldn't tell what it was specifically, but she could feel it. It was designed by Zhang Chen. If Zhang Chen designed it, it would be like this.

Just like when they were together before, they knew what the other person was thinking without saying a lot of words, or half of what they said, they knew what was left unsaid. There were many times, Tan Shuzhen even felt that she and Zhang Chen were closer than Liu Ligan. There was a tacit understanding when we were together.

The two of them were walking around in the store and felt that there were many clothes they liked, but they had to restrain themselves. Their wallets did not allow them, so they could only choose one piece each. They took the clothes to the checkout counter. Shen Linlin asked the cashier, "We are from Yongcheng." I heard that you can get discounts in Yongcheng here?

"Are you from Yongcheng?" the cashier asked.

"Really, I'm not going to lie to you. Do you want me to show you my ID card?"

The cashier shook his head: "No, I heard it. Yes, people in Yongcheng get 12% off when they buy clothes from us."

Shen Linlin smiled happily and said, I just heard my colleagues in my unit say this to me, but I didn’t expect it to be true.

Tan Shuzhen was surprised and asked the cashier, how did you know that we were from Yongcheng?

The cashier smiled and said: "There are many Yongcheng people who come to buy things from us. You Yongcheng people like to say 'yes' and 'hello' when talking."

Tan Shuzhen and Shen Linlin couldn't help but blush slightly when they heard this. Shen Linlin asked: "Why don't we in Yongcheng have your store?"

The cashier said: "Yes, six of the seven counties below Hangcheng have our stores, but there is none in Yongcheng. It is said that the boss won't let us go."

"Why?"

"We don't know either, there just aren't any."

When the two of them were walking around, they saw that the patio was very beautiful. There were just a few chairs, but they were full of people. After shopping for clothes, they walked around for a while and saw that there happened to be two empty chairs in the patio, so they hurried over and sat down. Down.

After sitting down, she smelled a faint fragrance of osmanthus. Tan Shuzhen looked around and found it. Behind the rockery in the fish pond, there was an old golden osmanthus plant open like a fan.

Shen Linlin looked at the surrounding glass walls, which were filled with light. Shen Linlin sighed and said, this place is so beautiful.

"I don't know where the boss here is from Yongcheng." Shen Linlin said to herself, and then asked: "Zhenzhen, do you know?"

Tan Shuzhen shook her head.

Tan Shuzhen was startled when she heard someone calling "Hello, Mr. Zhang!" She looked into the store and saw Zhang Chen coming in from the door. Tan Shuzhen quickly turned to the fish pond, lowered her head, and pretended to be looking at the fish pond. fish in.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Chen reflected in the glass as he walked to the stairs, looking towards the patio as if out of habit, and then walked upstairs.

"Hey, that guy just now is their boss, why does it look so familiar to me?" Shen Linlin pulled Tan Shuzhen's sleeve and said to her.

"Oops!" Tan Shuzhen shouted.

"What's wrong?" Shen Linlin asked.

"I forgot that I have to buy a baby bottle for my daughter. Come on, come on and accompany me to the department store opposite." Tan Shuzhen shouted.

"Hey, I don't have a baby bottle anywhere, so I have to go to Hangzhou to buy it."

"You don't know, my daughter is very annoyed. She only recognizes this kind of milk bottle. She won't even take milk from other bottles. I need to buy a spare one."

When Shen Linlin heard what Tan Shuzhen said, she quickly stood up. The two of them walked out of the half-acre field and hurriedly walked towards the Hangcheng Department Store diagonally opposite.

When she arrived at the maternal and infant counter, Tan Shuzhen pointed to a baby bottle and said to Shen Linlin, "This is it. There is feeding here."

The two bought milk bottles and went downstairs, standing in front of Hangbai and waiting for the bus. Shen Linlin looked at the Ban Mu Tian women's lifestyle flagship store diagonally opposite and suddenly shouted: "I remembered!"

"What do you remember?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

"The boss here, the boss of this store." Shen Linlin pointed to half an acre of land and shouted, "Do you still remember that there used to be an advertisement for 'Youth Treasure' at the entrance to the city? This person is the person who drew that advertisement. Yes, that’s right, why do you look so familiar to me?”

Tan Shuzhen smiled without saying anything.

Shen Linlin continued: "He painted so well, it looked real. I often watched him paint below at that time, and I really wanted him to paint one for me, but I was embarrassed."

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said, "It would be great if you knew him then. Then maybe we can get 50% off on our clothes today."

"Hey, maybe I've already married him and am the boss lady here. When you come, I'll give you the clothes."

Shen Linlin said, and both of them laughed and laughed. Tan Shuzhen felt that she was about to burst into tears.

Zhang Chen walked upstairs, and when he was about to reach the door of Xiao Zhao's office, he stopped, thought for a while, turned around and walked downstairs, walked to the stairs below, looked into the patio, shook his head, turned towards Go upstairs.

The seats here are so popular. As soon as Tan Shuzhen and Shen Linlin stood up and walked out, a couple immediately sat down where they had been sitting.

…

After Tan Shuzhen returned to Yongcheng, she began to prepare for the next finals.

The final is September 30th, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Originally, the pre-finals could have been completed on the same day. There was no need to divide it into two times with several days in between. That was because the final in Hangzhou It is no small matter for the TV station to conduct live broadcast. All contestants participating in the finals must undergo political review.

The few days between these days gave Tan Shuzhen just enough time to prepare. Tan Shuzhen went to Teacher Shi every afternoon, and her daughter could be said to be completely handed over to Feng Laogui.

Teacher Shi prepared four songs for Tan Shuzhen, namely "My Motherland and Me", "Sister Looking for Brother in Tears", "White Feathers Send Deep Affection", "Springs on the Border Clear and Pure". The two of them sang these four songs. Song, consider it word by word.

Shen Linlin looked on and sneered. After so many preparations, are you going to win the championship, which is the first prize? What a wishful thinking!

Tan Shuzhen didn't know why she had to prepare four songs. Teacher Shi asked her to prepare them, so she prepared them.

Shen Linlin knew that according to the format of the Sanjiang Cup competition, a total of eighteen people entered the finals. They were divided into six groups by drawing lots. Starting at six o'clock in the evening, the TV station had not yet started live broadcast. Each of the six groups sang a song. Finally, one contestant from each group was eliminated, leaving twelve.

The second round starts at 8 pm, and the TV broadcast starts at this time. They are divided into three groups by drawing lots, one group of four people. After one round, two people in each group are eliminated. After the remaining six people, each person sings a song. Song, the three people eliminated will be the third prize.

There are three people left. The last three people sang a song. The judges will choose one first prize, which is the first place, and two more, which are the second prizes. The remaining twelve contestants will all It's the winning prize.

The six first, second and third prize winners entered the province's "Quhua Cup Young Singer Grand Prix" in May of the following year, which was also the preliminaries of the CCTV National Young Singer Grand Prix.

If you have the opportunity to sing four songs this night, it means that you have at least entered the top three.

Shen Linlin participates in this competition every year. Her parents and colleagues from her work unit stay in front of the TV. Only when the winning awards are awarded at the end, they see her and the other twelve contestants on the stage to receive the awards and appear on TV. He frowned.

She is eliminated before eight o'clock every time and has never sung a song on TV. Why can you, Tan Shuzhen, sing three songs for the first time you participate?

But on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tan Shuzhen sang three songs on the TV.

Yongcheng County TV station announced a few days ago that today the county TV station will broadcast the finals of Hangcheng TV station's "Sanjiang Cup Young Singer Grand Prix", replacing the originally planned Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day cultural and artistic event for the county's employees organized by the Federation of Trade Unions. The broadcast of the party has been cancelled.

Because today, we have two contestants in Yongcheng County who have historically entered the finals, one is Shen Linlin, and the other is Tan Shuzhen. Not many people know Shen Linlin, but Tan Shuzhen, she was at the opening ceremony of the Yongcheng Summer Art Festival ’s performance is still fresh in everyone’s memory, especially for those who go to the dance hall of the Cultural Center every day.

Therefore, many Yongcheng people stayed in front of the TV that night. Although at eight o'clock, when the picture from Hangcheng TV station came, everyone found that only one of the two historic people was left. But it doesn't matter, that person is Tan Shuzhen.

The entire Wu Opera Troupe was in the open space above Gaofang, staring at the TV set that Teacher Li had moved from home.

Xu Jianmei and Ding Baigou were sitting on the bed at Ding Baigou's house, staring at the TV in front of them.

Tan Shuzhen's parents were sitting on the sofa, and Feng Laogui was sitting on another sofa. Mrs. Tan was still holding Tan Shuzhen's daughter in her arms. The little girl saw her mother appear on the TV again and again, calling her mother.

She stretched out her hand to grab her mother but failed to catch her, and her mother ignored her. The little girl finally became anxious. When she saw Tan Shuzhen won the first prize and cried bitterly on the stage, she also burst into tears.

At this time, the game on the illuminated stadium of Qunying Garment Factory had just ended. The angry old women were looking for Accountant Li to give him a living. Zhang Chen and Liang Mao were persuading them. Liu Ligan and Xu Wenhui were standing by the court. Xu Wenhui had just started His name is Senior Liu Ligan.

In the sky over Hangzhou, the moon was full and the night was still dark.

Next they have to eat lamb kidneys.
