Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

After arriving at the ancestral hall, I found that there were indeed many people here.

After Cao Gong arrived here, he saw his cousin and his partner training on the plum blossom pile.

"Wow, is it so high?" Guan Xiaotong was shocked when he saw such a high plum blossom pile.

This is the plum blossom pile used for lion dance training. Two people are training on the plum blossom pile.

You should know that this plum blossom pile is very high, equivalent to the height of a floor.

At this time, two people are practicing on it, and every step is very particular.

Especially for the one who makes the tail, the requirements are even more difficult.

Because the person who makes the tail has to lift the person who makes the lion head jump on the plum blossom pile,

Generally speaking, the person who makes the lion tail is stronger.

"Hey~" After falling down by mistake, this brother was also very discouraged.

"It's okay, it's okay, try again." No one said anything to him, but encouraged him instead.

"I'm not feeling well." Cao Gong, with his hands behind his back, said to his cousins.

According to the generational order, they are all his cousins.

It's true that Cao Gong's surname is Cao, but his father is Liu Deqian.

So, Cao Gong's ancestral home should be the same as Liu Deqian's ancestral home in Jiangmen, Guangdong.

Although his surname is Cao and he grew up here, his father is not from here after all.

People here also regard him as a native of this village and won't say anything.

But according to the generational order, they are indeed cousins.

"That can't be helped. Originally we had six lions, and you suddenly didn't come back for the New Year for two years."

"We lost one lion tail. Your brother came back in the past two years, but he didn't find a lion tail to match him. The lion tail he found before was no problem for performance on the ground, but it was not possible to perform on the plum blossom pile because we had less time to train together."

"Plus, you are also in college, so you don't have so much time to train."

"Now there are several high school students, and they are not up to the standard."

Cao Gong's uncle told him about this.

Cao Gong smiled and said, "Let me try and see how many skills I have left?"

Knowing that Cao Gong was going to try, everyone laughed and joked.

The partner who originally trained with Cao Xixin also came down to rest.

Cao Gong and his cousin formed a group, with cousin Cao Xixin in charge of the lion head and Cao Gong in charge of the lion tail.

It is definitely not possible to ask the cousin to be in charge of the lion tail.

Because of his weight and physique, his cousin will definitely not be able to lift him.

"Dongdong, Dongdongdongqiang~"

The people in charge of the music nearby also cooperated with the rhythm.

Cao Gong was also cooperating with his cousin, slowly getting back to the old feeling.

The two brothers had cooperated together for a few years before, although they hadn't cooperated for two years.

But if they cooperate again now, they are still very experienced..

Although he was not wearing pants, Cao Xixin still held up the lion head and danced seriously.

Because he knew his cousin's ability, Cao Xixin's movements were very standard when he danced.

Behind him, Cao Gong had a lion blanket on his back and his steps were in line with his cousin.

"Good~" The people watching on the side cheered and applauded.

Cao Gong held his cousin's waist with both hands and predicted every move.

It was precisely because of the cooperation of the two brothers that the overall performance of the lion dance this time was much better than the previous one.

Especially when he was about to step forward, Cao Gong grabbed his brother's waist with both hands and lifted him up.

Then he quickly took three steps forward, and each step was very stable and accurate on the plum blossom pile.

After taking three steps, he leaned forward and let his cousin who was lifted by him fall forward.

Cao Xixin also aimed at the plum blossom pile and stood on it.

When he stood firmly in the horse stance, he felt the weight coming from his waist.

Cao Gong behind him grabbed his brother's waist. After his brother stood firmly, he put his feet down from the plum blossom pile, swung them in the air, and then stepped on the other two plum blossom piles.

When he stood firmly, he turned around and continued to dance the lion on the plum blossom pile.

"Wow! Wow!"

Yang Mi, Dilireba, and Guan Xiaotong were all surprised to see the lion dance up close for the first time.

Although they had heard that their boyfriend could dance the lion dance before, they didn't expect him to be so handsome?

Although it was just a lion dance, it was not difficult to see that the lion tail was the most important to have solid basic skills.

"Beautiful!" The people in the lion dance team who were watching also applauded.

It is rare that Cao Gong, who has not come back for training for two years and has not performed lion dance, still remembers how to do it.

Cao Gong's footsteps are also very good. It is precisely because of his good footsteps, combined with the performance of the lion head, that the lion, on the plum blossom pile, can be said to be vivid and looks particularly spiritual.

Even the movements when he came down from the plum blossom pile were very cool and handsome.

After completing the training, Cao Gong also moved his neck.

"There is something." Others saw this and joked.

"It has to be you two brothers. You have cooperated together since childhood, which is different."

Everyone applauded and boasted.

Yang Mi couldn't help asking the people around her: "How old were they when they started practicing?"

"They started practicing when they were young. Cao Gong started practicing lion dance at the age of 5, Xixin started learning at the age of 10, and Cao Gong went to lion dance performances with us when he was 6."

"He has performed lion dances for more than a thousand times."

When Cao Gong's cousin told Yang Mi, they were shocked.

"How many? More than a thousand performances?" Guan Xiaotong was so surprised that she covered her mouth.

"Yes, not counting the training, just the performances, he started learning at the age of 5 in 2001, studied for a year, and from 2002 to 6We started performing until the Spring Festival of 2016."

"In 14 years, we have performed more than a thousand shows. ”

Actually, this is not an exaggeration, because the lion dance team can perform for about 5 minutes, which is not very long.

Let’s say the first day of the Lunar New Year, they go out to greet every household and perform once for each household.

For example, if you go to greet every household, you don’t need to perform on the plum blossom pole, which only takes two or three minutes.

At the end of the day, they perform lion dances to greet every household in the village, and then go to the streets to greet the lion dances on the streets. On the first day of the Lunar New Year alone, a stone has to perform about 20 times.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Gong performed more than a thousand lion dances in these 14 years.

Because lion dances are not only performed during the Spring Festival, even if it is not the Spring Festival, there are also these lion dance performances when there are activities in the village, sometimes two or three minutes per performance, sometimes 5 minutes per performance.

“So that’s how it is. "It's really amazing to know that my boyfriend has been exposed to this traditional culture since he was a child.

"Cao Gong, don't practice here, just let the children practice."

"Have you had breakfast? You don't even know to bring your girlfriend over for breakfast."

"Hehe~" After being taught a lesson by his aunt, Cao Gong smiled and left.

"Go on, don't be afraid, there are sponge pads underneath, it won't hurt if you fall."

Cao Gong also did not forget to encourage his brother from the same village, telling him not to be afraid.

With that, Cao Gong and his girlfriend went inside to find breakfast.

Coincidentally, Cao Gong's cousin Cao Lianxin was also having breakfast here.

"Sister-in-law." Seeing the three sisters-in-law coming, Cao Lianxin also greeted them.

"Just sit next to me, let my brother serve you breakfast, don't pay attention to him. ”

She has a very good relationship with these three sisters-in-law.

It should be said that she has no sisters-in-law with whom she has a bad relationship.

Whether it is her cousin's sister-in-law or her own sister-in-law, she gets along very well with this sister-in-law.

"Why did you get up so early?" Reba asked her sister-in-law when she saw her sister-in-law.

"It's early. Our Yingge team will go on the road for training later. We need to get familiar with the street route that our Yingge team will take during the Spring Festival performance." Cao Lianxin explained.

"So that's it." Reba nodded after roughly understanding what it meant.

When they came to breakfast, they saw today's breakfast.

"Is this pork offal?!" Cao Gong also asked the uncles who cooked breakfast.

"Yes, this is pork offal."

"That won't work. My wife can't eat pork. I'll make beef offal. Do you have beef offal? "It's not that he's picky, but Reba really can't eat pork.

"There's no offal, but there's beef."

"Okay, I'll cook some raw beef noodles." He said, and he cooked it himself.

The fire in the big boiler for this kind of banquet is very strong, soIt is also very simple to make.

It only took a few minutes for him to cook a bowl of raw beef rice noodles.

After bringing it over, he put it on the table.

"Where are the bowls and chopsticks?" He asked his sister without paying attention.

"Brother, when you took the bowl to serve the noodles just now, didn't you see it?" Cao Lianxin said with a smile.

"Go get it for me." Cao Gong asked his sister to get it for him.

"You ordered me when you brought your sister-in-law home." Cao Lianxin pouted, but also went to help get it.

Cao Gong looked at the girl with a smile: "You only take three sets of bowls and chopsticks, where are mine?"

"If I don't take yours, I'll take my sister-in-law's, brother, you go get it yourself."

Cao Gong was really laughed at by this deliberate girl.

Yang Mi, Reba, and Guan Xiaotong also smiled, and then started to serve the raw noodles.

They had eaten this before, and Cao Gong would make it for them whenever he had the chance.

"My brother will probably be busy today, will my sister-in-law be bored?"

"It's okay, I'm not alone, the three of us are together." Guan Xiaotong said with confidence.

"Then you guys decide, the mothers-in-law and aunts in the village may urge you to get married."

"If you feel annoyed, just go back with my mother."

"It's still quite hot today." Cao Lianxin secretly gave advice to the sisters-in-law.

Reba and the others also smiled and nodded, knowing that someone would definitely gossip about this kind of thing.

Old women are like this, they will definitely gossip about it behind their backs.
