Chapter 366: Chapter 365 Little Haoer is aweso now! Chapter 366: Chapter 365 Little Haoer is aweso now! “Why does this guy look so familiar?” Wang Tianli squinted and looked a few tis before he finally recognized, “Don’t move! Don’t move! You’re that… what’s his na… Yu Wenchang! No, Zhou Wenhua, that’s not right either! You’re… you’re Yue Peng! You’re the Yue Peng who was performing cody sketches yesterday!” He then started shouting, “Oh my goodness, everyone co look! The codian Yue Peng has co to our village!”
What?! Yue Peng ca to our village?!
Upon hearing this, no one in the courtyard could remain seated; with a whoosh, everyone stood up and ran toward the door!
What a little rascal! Big-Head Liu! Zhao Lao Nian! And Yue Peng too! That young man is…
With a sharp scream from Wang Qian, she shouted, “Jiang Feng! You’re the singer Jiang Feng! I love your songs!”
The entire courtyard erupted, and people sward the film crew, chattering away—
“The group from last night’s party has all co over!”
“Let see, let see, oh my, it’s true! They’re all here, all alive!”
“Little rascal, co over for a group photo! Photo, photo, photo!”
After a few voices discussed, the crowd parted ways, and Grandpa stepped forward. He looked at them incredulously, “You’re… you’re Yue Peng?” The old ancestor repeated Yue Peng’s catchphrase, “My heavens! You all ca! I just love your ‘Five Rings Song!'”
At this, everyone burst into laughter; this old man really knew how to joke around!
“Hehe, you must be Grandpa, right?” Yue Peng walked up and took Grandpa’s hand, saying, “Brother Hao ntioned during our rehearsal that today is your hundredth birthday, so our crew discussed it and almost all of us ca! We’re here to celebrate your birthday!”
Oh, cut the grass! Upon hearing this, all eyes were on Wang Hao! It took a lot of pull to invite the entire film crew over! These are the hottest people right now; last night’s party went viral all over social dia!
“Great, great!” Grandpa was thrilled at the scene and eagerly ushered everyone inside, “Co in, co in, the road is rough, you all must be exhausted.”
“It’s nothing,” Yue Peng chuckled and said, “Compared to what Brother Hao did for us, this is nothing!”
As he spoke, he hugged Wang Hao excitedly, “Brother Hao, do you know how successful our show was yesterday? Guess what our ratings were?”
“How much?” Wang Hao asked cheerfully, “Probably around seven or eight percent?”
“Sixteen point eight percent!” Yue Peng shouted, “Sixteen point eight percent! Our crew is on fire now! Man, you wouldn’t believe how many TV stations are inviting to perform cody sketches, and the appearance fees—look at this!” He gestured wildly with his hand spread wide.
“How much?!” Everyone around was curious. The cody Yue Peng perford yesterday really entertained everyone, it was wickedly funny!
“Five hundred thousand!” Yue Peng exclaid excitedly, “Brother Hao, my appearance fee is now five hundred thousand!”
Gasp—!!!
Upon hearing this figure, everyone in the courtyard gasped! An appearance fee of five hundred thousand! So many people here haven’t seen that much money in their entire lives!
“Grandpa,” the mischievous little rascal ca over and clung to Grandpa’s arm, “Brother Hao is really incredible. Without him, we’d still be ssing around for a couple hundred bucks a night! But once he stepped in, our value skyrocketed! We all figured we can’t just forget such a big favor, so this morning, we all packed up and ca over. Just sit back and watch, we’ll perform a show for you as a celebratory gift!”
Actually, these words were ant to be genuine birthday blessings, but when said by this little rascal, they took on a different flavor.
Wang Yuying laughed, “Little rascal, are you this sassy in real life too?”
“What are you talking about?” the little rascal ran his hand through his hair, “I’m a real man!”
Instantly, laughter fell all around!
“Big-Head Liu, walk two steps if you’re not sick!” soone in the crowd egged on, “That bit yesterday had dying of laughter!”
“Haha, yes,” Big-Head Liu, who had always been a perforr, was at ease anywhere; he started showing off right there, “Walk two steps, walk two steps—oh no, why am I limping?!”
Everyone was in stitches, laughing so hard they could barely stand, and Grandpa was laughing so hard he couldn’t close his mouth, “Good, good, good boy, good boy, it’s heartwarming. I never thought my Little Hao could achieve so much!”
In the crowd, everyone started discussing—
“I always knew this kid would be successful, he was tough the minute he was born!”
“Yeah, yeah, congratulations to Wang Hao’s mom, congratulations to our ancestral patriarch, our village has produced a capable person!”
“When he was born, I heard Immortal Wu from our village say that Haoer would be very wealthy and gifted, big in capabilities and strong in life!”
“Really? That accurate?! When Goushengzi has a child, I’ll have to ask him to calculate too!”
Grandpa was so happy that his eyes were nearly slits, he kept saying, “Good, good, all is good! Ah, I’ve never seen such a grand event in my life, it’s like celebrating the New Year! Giving out red envelopes, handing out red envelopes, so many people have co to celebrate my birthday, I must give generous red packets!” Grandpa laughed joyfully, a proud gleam in his eyes—when one grows old, what they look for is the achievent of their descendants, and having capable descendants is the most joyous thing of all!
“You little rascal,” just then, Auntie from the three halls grabbed Wang Wenjun and said, “What were you saying earlier, making up lies, saying you went to the grand stage but didn’t see Wang Hao?”
“I really went,” Wang Wenjun lanted with a gloomy face, “I was even counting on Brother Hao to arrange sothing for there, but he actually wasn’t there!”
Yue Peng overheard their conversation and laughed, “You wanted to go to our grand stage? There must have been a mix-up. Brother Hao was helping out, and a bottle of drink at the club he goes to starts at ten thousand, how could he possibly be performing stand-up cody with !”
“A bottle for ten thousand?!” Wang Wenjun was utterly shocked, “I don’t make enough in two months to pay for one bottle Haoer drinks!”
“Ah, this Haoer really has made sothing of himself,” Wang Mingjing quickly changed the direction of the conversation, “I said so, there must have been a misunderstanding at that ti! He really brought honor to our village, so much prestige! The Wang family has gained face today!”
Wang Tianshi, Wang Tianfu, Wang Tianhe, and Wang Tianli, the four brothers looked at each other and nodded vigorously, “Right, right, right, the Wang family has gained face today! Haoer is aweso now!”
“Alright, alright,” Yue Peng apologized to Grandpa, “Grandpa, let us get ready first, we’ve got a vibrant show coming up for you!”
“Great, my children are wonderful!” Grandpa’s face bead as if blooming, “Go on, get busy with your preparations!”
“Sure, sure, we’re on it.” Yue Peng called over, everyone took out gifts, handed them to Grandpa, and said, “Grandpa, this is a little token of appreciation from everyone, you must accept it!”
Everyone was shocked once again seeing this montum!
“All these people have co to appreciate Haoer, we’re in for a treat today, watching a grand stage performance! I’ve just been waiting for Liu with the big head to walk a few steps without illness!”
“With Haoer’s current reputation, even the boss of the grand stage brought things, damn, that’s what you call prestige!”
Seeing the grand stage’s people had brought gifts, all the relatives present curiously gathered around to watch.
Yue Peng and his crew were mainly here to perform, so the gifts they prepared weren’t very lavish, the better ones two or three thousand, the lesser ones a thousand eight hundred.
Wang Tianli had prepared the most extensive gift, spending over five thousand, but these arrivals made him feel shad. And yet this wasn’t the worst tragedy, the worst struck when Wang Hao brought out his Jade Ruyi…
Wang Mingjing exclaid, “Fuck! Didn’t they say it was going to be a lucky cat?! What the hell is this?!”
Wang Mingjie’s mouth almost watered, “Brother Ming Jing, you see this glass thing, how much do you reckon it costs? It’s so big, must be at least two or three thousand, right?”
Wang Tianshi remarked, “I think it’s worth more, this thing must be expensive! Look at that material, it shouldn’t be glass.”
————————————
This year really is filled with troubles, no need to explain my bad luck~
It feels like I have a dice of fortune and everyday I roll misfortune…
First day on the shelves I got kidney stones, hadn’t gotten over the kidney stones when I caught a cold, the cold caused sinusitis, then right shoulder periarthritis, just as my right side got better, my left side acted up…
Damn it, fuck this!
And then I spent a whole day revising drafts, felt like I was dying… Crying as I ran!
