Chapter 1802: Chapter 1333: Did You Really Say That?
"Alright, I’ll give everyone a harmonica solo."
Kang Yichen pulled a grim face and said, "If I don’t play well, nobody’s allowed to laugh. I’m going back to my room now and will be right back."
He finished speaking, turned around, and strode off on his long legs.
Soon enough, he returned holding a harmonica: "I’ll play ’Coral Song’!"
With that, Kang Yichen got into position, put the harmonica to his mouth, and started playing.
For a moment, the room was so quiet that only Kang Yichen’s rendition of ’Coral Song’ echoed throughout.
As the last note faded, Kang Li was the first to start clapping, soon followed by Bun, and Min Rui, Ming Han, Ming Wei. When Kang Li’s mother and a few others joined in, everyone else caught on and laughed as they applauded.
The room was filled with applause, and Kang Yichen’s ears turned a little red as he scratched the back of his head, "Sorry, it wasn’t that good. Sorry for embarrassing myself!"
"Cousin Chen played awesomely!"
Tangyuan piped up in a soft, childlike voice, giving Kang Yichen a thumbs up.
Bun and Guoguo joined in too: "Super awesome!"
"Cousin Chen, you play so beautifully!"
Min Rui said with a smile, "Now it’s Cousin Hong’s turn, right?"
Everyone looked over at Kang Yihong. Hearing this, Kang Yihong nodded, with a smile tugging at his lips, "Even though the eldest brother isn’t home, the eldest sister-in-law is—and she should represent him and do a performance. Second brother just stole the spot, so I won’t compete with her now. After her performance, Yan Rou and I will sing a duet."
Lin Dan hadn’t expected Kang Yihong to pull her in, but she wasn’t annoyed at all; instead, she stepped forward confidently and smiled, "Alright, I’ll listen to third brother. I’ll represent Yiyang and myself to sing a song for everyone—it’s called ’Coral Song.’"
Everyone, upon hearing what she was going to sing, was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing. Kang Li said, "You’ve really got this streamlined!"
Lin Dan chuckled, "Happens to be that I know ’Coral Song’, and second brother just played it, so now I’m even more familiar with it. I promise I won’t forget the lyrics."
Clearing her throat, Lin Dan began to sing: "A tree of red blossoms shines by the blue sea, a blazing flame rises from the water..."
And honestly, Lin Dan’s vocal quality was pretty good. She sang with passion, and, without meaning to, Kang Yichen started playing harmonica as accompaniment, while others who knew the song quietly sung along with Lin Dan.
Once she finished, everyone applauded in unison.
"Yan Rou and I will sing everyone ’Heroic Song.’"
With Kang Yichen’s voice, Yan Rou began singing, "Winds and smoke billow as we sing heroes, green hills on every side listen close..."
The couple had already talked it over—once Yan Rou finished her part, Kang Yihong took over, and in the second half, they harmonized together.
This time, not only did Kang Yichen play harmonica to accompany, but Min Rui had, at some point, brought out the erhu and was sitting on a chair by the wall, playing along with Kang Yichen to accompany the couple.
Of course, once the duet ended, the room erupted in applause again.
By age, the grandchildren each took turns performing—besides singing, some told stories and jokes. When it was Min Rui, Ming Han, and Ming Wei’s turn, Min Rui soloed with the erhu, playing ’Unrestrained’, a song that soared so far and wide!
Ming Han recited ’Qinyuanchun Snow.’
Ming Wei performed a dance, choreographed herself to ’Unrestrained’. She had performed it at her school’s party before, with Ming Han accompanying on accordion, but tonight, before she even asked, Min Rui used his erhu to accompany her.
The room where Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen lived was quite spacious. When Ming Wei said she’d dance, everyone moved the stools and chairs against the wall, clearing the center so Ming Wei could show off her moves.
"Auntie, Vivi dances so well. Is she going to be a professional dancer when she grows up?"
Lin Dan whispered to Kang Li; hearing this, Kang Li shook her head and said, "Vivi wants to be an actress, but not only a dancer—she wants to go to film academy."
Lin Dan blinked, then smiled, "I think that’s perfect! Our Vivi is beautiful and looks so spirited, plus she dances so well—she’ll definitely be a star one day!"
"Whether she’s a star or not doesn’t matter. I just hope she never regrets her own choices, sticks to her dreams, and keeps moving forward. But most importantly, as long as she’s happy, that’s enough!"
Hearing Kang Li’s words, Lin Dan couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of Ming Wei, and she made no attempt to hide it, saying, "I’m so jealous of Vivi for having such an open-minded mom like you, Auntie!"
The performances continued, and before anyone knew it, it was the trio Bun’s turn.
Guoguo: "Fourth brother, we agree on this then!"
Bun: "Mm."
Tangyuan: "Can’t we pick a different song?"
Guoguo: "Nope, I just want to sing ’Mom Loves Me, I Love Mom’!"
Tangyuan: "Alright then!"
Guoguo: "I’ll introduce myself first, then fourth brother, and finally you, fifth brother."
Bun and Tangyuan had no objection.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the Bun trio, all with expectant—and smiling—faces, waiting for their performance.
"Good evening, everyone. My nickname is Guoguo and my full name is Luo Mingxi."
"Good evening, everyone. I’m Tangyuan, and my full name is Luo Mingchen."
"Hello, everyone. I’m Bun, and my full name is Luo Mingting."
"We’re triplets, and we’re about to perform a hand gesture dance for everyone—’Mom Loves Me, I Love Mom’!"
