Chapter 217： When the queen is young

After strolling around "Mount Wutai" for a while, seeing that it was noon, Xia Yu took He Chaoqiong to lunch.

Although he had eaten a lot in the morning, He Chaoqiong was not very hungry, but if he did not eat at noon, he would definitely be hungry in the afternoon. Therefore, he still had to eat some lunch.

After eating in a restaurant and resting for a while, He Chaoqiong couldn't sit still anymore. He blinked and looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Xia Yu, where are we going to play this afternoon?"

Xia Yu thought for a while and asked: "Should we go to Liyuan?"

"Okay, I went there twice when I was a kid, but it was fun, but the most recent one was five or six years ago. I don't know what it looks like now."

He Chaoqiong said happily, her eyes were a little blurred, her thoughts seemed to have returned to the carefree age five or six years ago, and the corners of her mouth unknowingly evoked a moving arc.

"It's too early, then let's go!"

Checking the time, Xia Yu stood up and said.

"um hum!"

He Chaoqiong nodded obediently, and then followed Xia Yu out and got on the bus to Liyuan.

Liyuan, if you just look at the name, many people think it is an orchard that grows lychees, but if you really think so, you will definitely be dumbfounded when you go there, because what you think and what you look at will be completely different!

Lai Yuen is actually an amusement park. Before the opening of the Hong Kong Ocean Park, it was the largest amusement park in Hong Kong. It is located in Lai Xin Court in Kwai Tsing District, Kwai Tsing District, west of the New Territories.

After the end of World War II, Hong Kong experienced three years and eight months of Japanese occupation, and society gradually recovered. In order to meet the needs of the public looking for recreation, in addition to the continuous completion of large and small theaters, playgrounds have also emerged.

In 1949, businessman Zhang Junan established Liyuan, which was bought by Qiu Degen in 1961 and continued to expand, and it has always been one of Qiu Degen's pocketbooks.

Liyuan Amusement Park, which contains toys such as Ferris wheel, bumper cars, horse riding, etc., as well as movie theaters, Cantonese theater and music scene, zoo, etc., is very attractive to adults and children.

It's a pity that in 1976, its title of "the largest amusement park in Hong Kong" was taken away by the Xiangjiang Ocean Park, which led to a decline in the past two years.

Liyuan is one of Qiu Degen's pocketbooks. Of course, Qiu Degen is not willing to reduce his income.

In order to cope with the competition from the Ocean Park, which opened in 1976, Qiu Degen had to start an expansion plan again, intending to build a Song City based on the pictorial design of "A River on the Qingming Festival", which is still under construction.

When Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong were talking and laughing, the car came to the parking lot of Liyuan Amusement Park.

After getting off the bus, Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong and Yan Shining walked towards the ticket office.

"Xia Yu, there are so many people here, so lively!"

As soon as I entered it, I saw people everywhere, many adults and children were playing together, He Chaoqiong said in surprise.

"Today, Saturday, it's just a holiday. Of course there are many people. Let's go, let's start shopping here."

Xia Yu said with a smile, and then walked towards the right with He Chaoqiong.

Stop and go, play with this, take a look at that, time passes unconsciously.

Unconsciously, Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong came to a Cantonese theater and singing and dancing area. He Chaoqiong became interested when he heard the applause and cheers coming from inside.

"Xia Yu, let's take a look inside."

"Let's go!"

After speaking, he walked towards the gate of the Cantonese Opera with He Chaoqiong.

As soon as I entered the Cantonese Theater and the song and dance area, I found an introduction card that marked how many theaters there were, which song and dance troupe or troupe performed, and a list of the programs performed today.

"Xia Yu, there is still a place ahead, let's sit there."

On tiptoe, He Chaoqiong saw the signature and the position, and said with some surprise, and then walked over there with Xia Yu.

As soon as I sat down, ordered tea and snacks, the performance was over.

"Next, please invite the'Jinxia' Song and Dance Ensemble to bring you the song and dance performance "Beautiful Flower". Applause please!"

"Fuck!"

He Chaoqiong clapped his hands expectantly, and looked behind the scenes.

He Chaoqiong was not allowed to wait any more. After the host stepped down, a few dancers in dance costumes trot out with brisk and graceful steps behind the scenes.

Two adult women, with a few girls who are obviously not big in their grades, started the performance together with the pace of the music. One girl also sang with a microphone, and the rest danced to the singing.

Everyone in the audience admired it with relish, and Xia Yu and He Chaoqiong also saw it with gusto.

"Xia Yu, their dance is so beautiful, so beautiful, and that person sings really well."

He Chaoqiong's eyes were a little blurred, and he murmured.

"It's really good to dance, and the singing is pure and tactful."

Xia Yu smiled and shouted, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone on the stage, and he paused for a while on the face of the singing girl, but he felt familiar, but he didn't remember who it was.

But he didn’t care. When he traveled to Xiangjiang, he saw familiar people. He had adapted to it a long time ago. He wouldn’t make a fuss. There is no need to specifically recognize who is here and then set up relationships.

When the performance reached the highlight, the audience remembered the warm applause, which was also mixed with the sound of some people blowing whistle and shouting.

"Mei Aifang, I like you!"

"Mei Aifang..."

"Mei Yanfang..."

...

These shouts were also heard into Xia Yu's ears. This familiar name made him unable to help his gaze. He immediately looked at the faces of the performers on the stage and scanned them one by one.

In the end, Xia Yu's gaze stayed on the face of the youngest girl with the microphone, the girl he felt familiar with just now.

"No wonder, it turned out to be her. I don’t know where to watch it in her previous life. It seems that Mei Yanfang really followed her mother on stage when she was a child. I didn’t expect to meet her here. Judging from her age, she should be only 15 or 16 years old. Right."

"I didn't expect that the queen of the world famous Xiangjiang would look like this when he was young. It's kind of interesting."

Xia Yu showed a trace of interest, looked at Mei Yanfang with a green face, and said inwardly.

Because of curiosity, Xia Yu also looked up and down Mei Yanfang specially.

It was just that He Chaoqiong saw all this in her eyes. She found that Xia Yu hadn't spoken for a while, couldn't help but look at Xia Yu, and then followed Xia Yu's eyes to see Mei Yanfang who was singing.

For a moment, He Chaoqiong felt a sense of urgency again, remembering that the last time was at the entrance of Xiangjiang Ocean Park, because of a girl selling tickets.

"But she is not pretty either!"

He Chaoqiong compared Mei Yanfang with herself, and thought to herself that not only was she not as beautiful as herself, but the one I saw last time at Xiangjiang Ocean Park was also more beautiful than her.

However, seeing Xia Yu look at Mei Yanfang with admiration, He Chaoqiong felt sour, and his good mood was gone.

It's a pity that Xia Yu is no one of her, and she can't control Xia Yu so she can only lower her head and secretly sad.

Xia Yu who came back to his senses found He Chaoqiong's loss. He asked suspiciously: "Chaoqiong, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Xia Yu's question, He Chaoqiong immediately smiled, not wanting Xia Yu to see that she was wrong, and said, "Nothing, I'm fine!"

It's just that she is a sixteen-year-old girl after all, not good at hiding herself, and her smile is somewhat reluctant.

Xia Yu thought quickly, and then discovered the problem. He realized that He Chaoqiong was a little jealous when he saw another girl.

It was just that He Chaoqiong was obviously jealous, but wanted to keep him from knowing. Xia Yu smiled, stood up and said, "Let's go, don't look, let's go to play elsewhere."

He Chaoqiong's body was shocked, she looked at Xia Yu suddenly, and saw him looking at herself with a smile, He Chaoqiong's heart was sweet, the previous loss was wiped out, she felt Xia Yu's attention to her, and she was delighted He lit his head and said, "Yeah!"

"Let's go!"

...

"Woohoo..."

"Xia Yu, goodbye!"

After putting He Chaoqiong on the ship, Xia Yu stood by the dock, listening to the steam whistle of the ship, watching the ship start, He Chaoqiong who had already boarded the ship waved to Xia Yu reluctantly.

"Goodbye, pay attention to safety! Call me when you go home!"

Xia Yu smiled and waved.

"Yes, I will, I am very happy today, thank you for playing with me!"

"Come back next time!"

...

Seeing the ship drifting away, Xia Yu retracted his gaze and looked at his watch. He found that it was past the off-duty time. He gave up his plan to go to Jiuding Book Company and should go early the next morning. ) Book friends hurry up and pay attention!
