Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Chapter 310: Night of Celebration (Part 2)

Zhang Guoqing saw the atmosphere was right and loudly shouted to the reserved female comrades on the side: "Sisters, start singing! Let’s hear one!"

"Let’s hear one, come on, let’s hear one!" Everyone at the scene clapped and cheered.

A group of girls looked at each other, all smiling and hesitating.

Zhou Jiao saw this and suggested, "Let’s start with a group chorus, then everyone can perform something. How about that?" After saying this and seeing everyone agree, she picked up the accordion and started the prelude.

The familiar melody of "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" played, and as the girls began to sing, everyone present joined in the chorus. By the end, even the late-arriving relatives were singing joyfully.

Once the song ended, Mr. Fang and others started to pick songs.

One popular song after another was sung loudly by everyone, the atmosphere reaching a fever pitch. The young people’s planned gathering turned into a Big Courtyard performance.

As delicious scents filled the air, the children became restless, pointing at the big pot and shouting they were hungry, causing the adults to burst into laughter.

Zhang Guoqing and the others exchanged smiles, went forward to open wine jars, and uncovered pots, letting the girls help serve food. Luckily, there were enough bowls, chopsticks, and lunchboxes for everyone. Soon you could hear everyone sipping soup.

Li Qianjin and a few others exchanged winks; they weren’t in a hurry to eat as the most delicious barbecue hadn’t started. They quickly picked up instruments to play accompaniment and sing.

Mr. Fang watched the young people jumping around in front of him, feeling emotional, "It’s been a long time since it was this lively. Young people today are really fortunate."

Mr. Cheng nodded, "The world is peaceful, people live happily, and our efforts weren’t in vain. They were born in good times; this is a fortunate and happy new generation."

"This evening’s gathering is great! Before, these kids were running around, either watching movies or fighting. They should gather like this to build better relationships."

Mr. Cheng listened to the surrounding discussion and looked at Zhang Guoqing, who was talking and laughing among the younger generation, with a bright smile gradually appearing on his face.

A few days ago, his wife said the kids had formed several factions, each unwilling to yield to the other, yet they all surrounded Zhang Guoqing, wanting to form a small team. He was worried Zhang Guoqing was too young to understand the implications and planned to give him a hint. But who would have thought the kid would come up with this idea? Tonight, watching him smoothly move among the young people, pulling a few tense ones to sing together with smiles and laughs, the atmosphere turned harmonious.

He felt assured now. He believed the other old folks saw that Zhang Guoqing was easing everyone’s disputes. It’s simply lacking a lubricant, no wonder the old friends kept bringing him into the unit.

Seeing that the wine was drunk and the night was late, Mr. Cheng looked again at Zhang Guoqing in the crowd, seeing him handle everything with ease, already drinking with several small group leaders with arms around each other’s shoulders.

He stood up and said, "Let’s go, us old folks. Let the kids have fun without us hindering them."

"Haha... Let’s go, we old folks should have a gathering someday too. This is great, so damn delightful."

"Sure. Bring a pig someday, we’ll have a pork feast. I’ve been dreaming of those old hometown dishes lately, just thinking about it makes my mouth water..."
