Chapter 960 Balcony Concert
Su Xing closed his Weibo account and the reporting website and continued to work immersively.
It's about four o'clock in the afternoon.
She paused her work and went to the kitchen to cook.
When Zhou Liyun and Su Shaohui got home from get off work, what greeted them was not only their daughter's smiling face, but also a table full of steaming hot and sumptuous meals.
Zhou Liyun said: "I can smell the fragrance even outside the door."
Su Shaohui glanced at the food on the table and said, "It looks like it's of my standard."
Zhou Liyun rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "You never forget to praise yourself."
Su Xing said: "Dad, Mom, wash your hands and eat~"
The couple agreed and went to the bathroom to wash their hands.
By the time they sat down at the dining table, Su Xing had already served them the meal.
The family of three was eating and chatting.
After the meal, Su Shaohui said, "I'll clean up, you guys take a rest."
Neither Su Xing nor Zhou Liyun argued with him. The mother and daughter lay comfortably on the sofa watching TV.
After Su Shaohui cleaned up the dining table, he cut a plate of fruit and placed it on the coffee table.
After Su Xing showed off some fruits, he said, "I'm going to go out for a walk."
The days are very long in the summer. It is still bright outside now, but the sunshine is not as strong. Many people choose to go out at this time to enjoy the cool air or take a walk.
Su Xing prepared to go out for a walk to see if there were any old men or women who played musical instruments.
Zhou Liyun asked her daughter: "Where are you going?"
Su Xing said: "Let's go to the park or the riverside for a stroll and practice the flute."
Zhou Liyun said: "I'll go out for a walk to help digest the food."
Su Shaohui quickly said: "Then let's go out together."
Su Xing nodded, "Okay, let's go."
She first went to get out her bamboo flute.
The family of three changed their shoes and went out.
After going downstairs, Zhou Liyun said, "Let's go to the riverside. It's cool by the river at this time."
Su Shaohui said: "Okay, let's go to the riverside."
Neither of them gave their daughter a chance to speak and made the decision directly.
Su Xing touched his nose and said, okay, the riverside is the riverside.
The banks of the Songhua River in H City are always crowded with people no matter what time of the day.
In winter, there are many people skating and playing with snow tubing, and it is very lively.
There are also many people in spring and autumn, and they just sit by the river when they are tired of shopping.
In summer, there are even more people living by the river. In the evening, the steps along the river are crowded with people.
Everyone sat facing the river, feeling the breeze, looking at the water, and no one knew what they were looking at.
But I just like to sit there and look at it, it makes me feel comfortable.
Su Xing and his family of three did not drive out. Instead, they took the bus for a few stops and arrived near Central Avenue.
As soon as he got off the car, Su Xing ran to buy some popsicles.
"Dad, Mom, this is for you."
She stuffed two sticks into her parents' mouth, bit her own and started eating.
Zhou Liyun said: "Don't be too greedy for the coolness, or you'll have a stomachache."
Su Xingjin sniffed: "Oh mom, I don't usually eat much."
Not eating popsicles in summer is a waste of summer.
Zhou Liyun talked to her daughter for a few words and then said nothing more. She also bit into her popsicle, making a "crunch crunch" sound with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Su Shaohui glanced at his wife and daughter and felt that they were the same, so no one should blame anyone.
He also tore open the packaging of the popsicle and took a bite. It was quite cool.
There are some shops nearby. When Su Xing and Zhou Liyun, mother and daughter, see a store that interests them, they go in for a look.
In the end, the mother and daughter bought two pairs of shoes, two blouses, and a shirt for Su's father.
Su Shaohui didn't have much pocket money, so he didn't pay the mother and daughter, but he was considerate enough to take their shopping bags.
The family was strolling near the Madiel Hotel when they heard music coming from the front.
They couldn't help but take a few quick steps and follow the crowd to that side.
The music came from the balcony of the Madiel Hotel, where musicians were performing.
Many citizens and tourists looked up at the performance.
Some people even clapped their hands to the rhythm of the music or hummed along.
The Madiel Balcony Concert opened in May 2008 and has now become a beautiful landscape on the central street of H City, showing the charm of H City as the world music city.
Performing on the balcony were some original singer-songwriters and independent musicians, some were teachers and students from the music conservatory, and actors from many countries including Russia and Armenia.
These performers will perform on the balcony for one to two hours every evening, and the specific time and duration will vary according to the season.
This summer's balcony concert will start at 6pm and last until 7:30pm.
Su Xing and his family of three, like other audience members nearby, raised their heads, smiled, and listened with great interest.
At this moment, a Russian song that is familiar to everyone is being performed on the balcony, "Katyusha".
The accordion plays a cheerful melody, instantly drawing people back to the romantic time and space of a hundred years ago.
Under the balcony, there was a pair of twin girls, about five or six years old, twisting their bodies to the music, which drew a lot of good-natured laughter from the audience.
Some people were holding up their mobile phones and taking pictures of the performers on the balcony.
After the performance of "Katyusha", the performer bowed to the balcony to thank all the audience for their support.
Between the carved cast iron railings, several musicians dressed in gorgeous costumes took their places elegantly.
The evening breeze blew by, carrying the moist water vapor from the Songhua River. The violin and saxophone ensemble on the balcony gradually became more and more harmonious, and the notes of "On the Sun Island" danced among the reliefs of the European-style buildings.
There were children riding on their fathers' shoulders and waving light sticks, couples snuggling and singing quietly, and silver-haired old men swaying their bodies to the beat...
After the show ended, a beautiful girl in a performance costume came on stage.
She smiled and said to the audience: "The song I will perform for you is "Friends". I believe everyone can sing this song, right? Can you sing along with me?"
"good--!!!"
Many people shouted loudly in response to the performers on the balcony.
The musical prelude ends.
The girl held the microphone and sang, "These years, I have been alone, the wind has passed, the rain has gone..."
Some of the audience sang along with her.
"There have been tears, there have been mistakes, but I still remember what I am holding on to..."
At the beginning, not many people sang along, but later more and more people joined in, and it turned into a chorus.
"Friends walk together for a lifetime, those days are no longer there, one word, one lifetime, one love, one glass of wine!"
Su Xing also became interested.
The music scores she has memorized recently are mainly classic old songs.
Coincidentally, she had memorized the score of the song "Friends" and practiced playing it.
At this time, she placed the bamboo flute across her lips and played the song "Friends" following the rhythm of the music.
Some of the audience heard the sound of the flute and looked towards Su Xing.
The performer on the stage kept singing, but his eyes were curiously looking for the person playing the flute.
