Chapter 397 The People in Our Village

After dinner, Liang Liang told Liang Feng to accompany Ya Ge out for a walk that evening to see the scenery of the mountain village in the summer night. After they had walked around enough, they could play video games at home.

He won't be back until after 10 p.m.

His motorcycle has only run seventy or eighty kilometers and hasn't been broken in yet. It shouldn't be carrying Xu Mei alone, let alone two people.

The incisor can only stay at home.

After giving his instructions, Liang Liang got on his motorcycle, and Xu Mei sat on the back seat with her electric guitar on her back.

The car left the village and went up the eastern mountain.

Once she left the village, there were no familiar faces around, so Xu Mei began to let loose. Without any constraints, she pressed her entire body against Liang Liang's back without any hesitation.

The two large headlights on the roof beams made me feel uneasy.

Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao have been away for several months, and Qin Wenju has a boyfriend. In the last month or two, he has been living like a monk.

He was full of youthful vigor and hadn't tasted meat in a long time.

In the sweltering summer heat, he was only wearing a vest. Xu Mei's clothes were as thin as gauze, and the young woman's skin was so tightly pressed against him, it was like being glued to her flesh. Wasn't this an invitation to commit a crime?

"Don't stick so close. Aren't you afraid I'll piss you off and shoot you?"

Xu Mei giggled, but her body showed no sign of moving away; her arms around Liang Liang's waist seemed to tighten.

It was practically saying, "If you're so capable, then shoot me."

This little vixen already knows how to want a man.

It wasn't dark yet, and although there were few pedestrians on the road, Liang Liang still felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The road from Liangshui Bay to Dapu Village was a dirt road, and the motorcycle bumped around, causing frequent friction between the two men's bodies. As time went by, the heat gradually accumulated, and some parts became extremely sensitive.

Liang Liang secretly groaned. How was he supposed to get out of the car now that they had brought a tent to Gao Xing's house?

Once they arrived at Dapu Village, not far from Gao Xing's house, Xu Mei was finally a little further away from Liang Liang.

Liang Liang took a deep breath and tried to distract herself, which finally lowered the height of the tent considerably.

At Gao Xing's house, Xu Mei got off the car and Liang Liang rode the motorcycle into Gao Xing's yard.

Gao Xing and the members of the Farmers' Band came out to greet them.

"Oh dear! No wonder the magpies were chirping so much today! It turns out Xiao Liang is back!"

"Hello Uncle Gao! Hello everyone, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters! No brother-in-law? Never mind!" Liang Liang sat on the motorcycle without daring to get off until his body was completely flat on the ground before leaving the motorcycle.

"Just bought a motorcycle?"

"I bought it this afternoon, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to go back and forth to run some errands."

Gao Xing circled Liang Liang's motorcycle several times, looking on with envy.

"Sigh! When can we buy a motorcycle to ride?"

"You're guaranteed to be able to afford a motorcycle within ten years."

Ten years later, a motorcycle will cost four or five thousand yuan, which most people can afford.

"Uncle Gao! How's your band's rehearsal going?"

"We've rehearsed your two agricultural-themed pieces very well, but can you really make it with just two pieces?"

Two songs are definitely not enough.

Although there aren't many rural songs, a few have emerged in the last two years, such as the TV series "The Fence, the Woman, and the Dog."

"The Shadow of the Fence," "The Joys and Sorrows of Life," "Fate Is Not That Wheel," "Living a Life in Vain," and if all else fails, we still have our ultimate weapon, "The People in Our Village." With so many songs, how can we be afraid of not having enough to sing?

"Yes! There are so many songs! How come I didn't think of that?"

You didn't even think of that, how could he have?

The last season of this TV series just finished airing last year, how could you have forgotten it so quickly?

"Wait a minute! We know the first few songs you mentioned, but what song is 'People in Our Village'?"

"This is a new song. I'll sing it for you, and then you guys can read the sheet music!"

Liang Liang then sang the song "People in Our Village" with Xu Mei's electric guitar accompaniment.

This is a song in the style of Errenzhuan (a traditional folk art form) with a strong Northeastern flavor.

To be honest, despite being born in Northeast China, Liang Liang really doesn't appreciate Errenzhuan (a traditional Chinese folk art form).

He didn't really like this song, which was very popular in his previous life.

He still doesn't understand why such a song was included in the end credits of the movie "From Vegas to Macau III".

Although Liang Liang didn't particularly like the song, Gao Xing absolutely loved it.

"If our band makes it to the finals, we'll use this song to fight for first place."

There's nothing wrong with using this song to compete for first place, and Liang Liang agrees with that.

But who should sing this song?

When the Farmers Band sang other songs, Gao He and Xia Dongdong were the lead singers.

Singing "Harvest" and "Harvest" in female vocal versions is fine, but singing "People in Our Village" in a female vocal version is a bit absurd and out of tune.

This absolutely has to be sung by a male voice.

There are only two men in the peasant band. Ha Bing's voice is terrible. Although he has enough pitch and rhythm, his voice is as dry as a desert. His singing is a real problem.

If drooling doesn't work, then you can only hope to be happy.

"Uncle Gao! How's your singing?"

“My second uncle used to sing quite well. He used to sing a lot when he was young, but he hasn’t sung in the last two years.”

Gao He chimed in from the side.

"Really? Uncle Gao! Sing a song! Sing 'The Red Flowers of the Mountain Lily'!"

"I can't reach the high notes!"

"So what songs can you sing?"

Gao Xing thought for a moment and said, "How about the second young cowherd?"

This time, Liang Liang was dumbfounded; this song has a long history.

The cows are still grazing on the hillside, but the cowherd has vanished. It wasn't that he lost the cows while playing; the cowherd is Wang Erxiao…

Gao Xing's voice is really good. Although she hasn't had any formal vocal training, her voice is very magnetic and gentle, and she can really sing folk songs.

Gao He's boasting for him was not in vain.

Gao Xing sang with great enthusiasm, which resonated with Liang Liang, who couldn't help but hum along.

"You sang well. I didn't expect you to have such a hidden talent. Your voice is quite good. If you had a famous teacher to guide you when you were young, you could have been a star. I'll use you to sing 'The People in Our Village'."

Liang Liang spent more than ten minutes writing out the sheet music for the song "People in Our Village". While he was happily reading the music, Liang Liang was thinking about composing a melody for the song.

Liang Liang didn't want to use the original song's arrangement. He always felt that the original song's arrangement lacked any distinctive features, being neither truly traditional nor modern, and was just a muddled mess. He believed that without the suona embellishment, the song's arrangement would be a complete failure.

He planned to start with the guzheng followed by the suona as an intro, then add drums and pipa for accompaniment. The electric guitar was downplayed as an inconspicuous auxiliary instrument. The song would be more rustic, with a suona solo at the connection between the upper and lower sections, which would further highlight the folk flavor of the song.

While Gao Xing was learning the piece from the score and had almost mastered it, Liang Liang had also finished writing the accompaniment for the piece, only lacking a drum score.

Once the drum score was completed, Liang Liang directed the band to conduct their first rehearsal according to the score.
