At 18:00 on February 5, the Ma Lanhua Choir completed its performance at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and returned to Fuping.

At dinner that day, almost every family "made up" a dumpling for the children, and almost every parent mentioned that the child suddenly grew up, and almost every child underwent some changes.

Eat dumplings for dinner today

Stewed ribs, bone-defunct meat, braised chicken nuggets, and dumplings are indispensable. This is the dinner at Han Shuxin's house on the evening of the 5th. "Children love meat, and Grandma has been preparing since noon." Han Shuxin's mother, Yang Li, said that since Doudou (Han Shuxin's nickname) went to Beijing to participate in rehearsals on January 3, she had videoed with her children a total of 3 times, "Thinking of children, I dare not contact, afraid that she will miss home." As soon as their show came out last night, they rushed to the TV to watch it. ”

In the picture, 44 children stood in 4 rows, although the children were dressed exactly the same, Yang Li still recognized it at a glance, the second one on the right of the first row, and the short head was Doudou.

Back home, Han Shuxin harvested a lot of snacks, she had a piece of sugar in her mouth, and her speech was vague.

Asked if he was nervous at the opening ceremony, 5-year-old Han Shuxin giggled, "Not nervous." ”

In fact, Gao Yue, a teacher at Bayi School, said that every time the rehearsal goes on stage, the eldest child takes one step, and Han Shuxin has to run two steps to keep up.

Wang Yujia's dinner is also dumplings, pork cabbage filling.

When I answered the phone call from Wang Yujia's mother, Jiao Jie, the whole family was also eating. "Yu Jia is the middle one in the fourth row." Jiao Jie said that it was no accident that the whole family also saw the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics from the beginning to the end, especially when seeing the performance of the Ma Lanhua Choir, "the hands were numb." ”

Wang Yujia is 10 years old, lives in Panzhuang Village, Nanzhuang Town, Fuping County, and is in the 4th grade of Da'andi Primary School. Since kindergarten, Wang Yujia has served as the class leader, and her academic performance is also very good. She quietly told reporters that when the Ma Lanhua Choir performed the previous program, she was waiting for the scene, and the music of "My Motherland and Me" came out of her headphones, "I have been singing along, this is my favorite song." ”

Wang Yujia said that she taught the song on her mobile phone, and when asked why she liked the song, she said, "I think it's particularly moving." ”

Chen Yulong, 10 years old, also ate dumplings on the night of the 5th. His family spent the New Year in Seongnam Trang Town this year. "Our family is in Wutonggou Village, it is a deep ditch, the mobile phone signal and TV signal are not very good, in order to watch the children perform, we did not return to our hometown this year." Chen Yulong's mother, Wang Dongli, said. Yesterday, she saw a report from Hebei Daily from the circle of friends, "I moved to the circle of friends and received dozens of likes in a moment." ”

Chen Yulong said that the opening ceremony performance was plain face, the long-haired girl tied two twist braids, only he and another boy with hair long to eyebrows were combed back, no other makeup, as to why his hair is so long, he said, "I think it is more handsome." ”

After the performance, Chen Yulong and his friends changed out of their performance clothes and walked back to the hotel, "Very excited, I fell asleep at 2 a.m." Chen Yulong saw their performance from the news on the 5th, "I think we sang OK." ”

The children grew up

"One, two, the red down jacket that's." Chen Yongli is Chen Yulong's father, he said, he and the child's mother went to pick up Chen Yulong, waited for more than an hour, the day is very cold, "the first sentence of the child getting off the car asked, 'Dad, are you cold?'" Chen Yongli said, "I was stunned. Our children in the mountains, who didn't talk like this before, didn't say anything in their hearts, and suddenly felt that this was warm in their hearts. ”

When Chen Yulong returned home, his grandmother handed him a red envelope according to the custom, "He took it and said, 'Thank you grandmother.'" Wang Dongli said, "In previous years, I would take the money and never politely say 'thank you'." I suddenly felt that this child had grown up. ”

When Yang Li went to pick up Han Shuxin, she found that she had more things, "Because she is young, I brought her more clothes and used more things, afraid that she can use them." The teachers also took care of her, and also packed a lot of snacks for her, I went to carry the luggage, she put the small school bag on her back, and also took the initiative to help me pull the suitcase, she was a little higher than the suitcase, I watched her push the suitcase to run, the eyes felt sour. ”

Yang Li has two children, 8-year-old son in the second grade of Stone Monkey Primary School, 5-year-old Doudou in the same school kindergarten, usually grandma riding an electric car to pick up the two children, "We bought a house in the county, me and the child's father are working." Yang Li said that she usually works in the county town, and every few days she goes home to see, this time, it is the longest separation from Doudou, "Yesterday, as soon as the child came out on TV, the tears flowed. ”

Han Shuxin sat on his mother's car, like a small horn, and told Yang Li a lot. "Ask me, 'Mom, did you see me yesterday,' and I said I saw it, and you sang so well. Then tell me what she saw in Beijing. When I left, I felt like a small baby, and when I came back, I suddenly became a big child. Yang Li said.

Wang Yujia's father is an individual, and his mother Jiao Jie is currently seconded to work in the forest farm in Chengnanzhuang Town. "Yu Jia also has a sister, usually, this child is more obedient, homework and nothing to worry about." As soon as I came back this time, I found that the child spoke more methodically than before, and his vision was larger. ”

"I learned to brush my shoes and wash my clothes, and I was more self-reliant than before." Wang Yujia said that in the choir, she is a big child, she will help the younger children pour hot water and tie their shoelaces, "Before, I wouldn't help my sister tie it, ha." She laughed herself.

From joining the choir to standing on the bird's nest stage, there are only more than 3 months, and for the children, there is also a lot of hardship, "Usually when practicing, the expression and standing posture are the most tired." Wang Yujia said, "I told myself that I want to be on TV and attend the opening ceremony, I have to cheer up and I have to persevere." Usually after practicing well, I am not nervous when I go on stage. ”

dream

"Children in the mountains are not without talent, all they lack is opportunities." Deng Xiaolan, a retired police officer in Beijing and a music teacher at Malan Primary School, said.

This time to Beijing to participate in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, to the children in the mountains to open a door to the bigger world, but also greatly stimulated the children's hearts.

"My dream in the future is to become a music teacher." Wang Yujia said that a few months ago, she also aspired to become a doctor, "I learned the pitch, can hear the level of singing." I know that there is so much learning in singing. ”

During the performance, Chen Yulong stood in the middle of the first row and leaned to the left, "This is the C position on the Internet, right?" Wang Dongli asked, Wang Dongli is a full-time mother, her eldest child is in the third grade of junior high school in Chengnanzhuang Town, and the younger daughter is in kindergarten at Bayi School.

"We only moved to Chengnanzhuang Town in the second half of 2021, renting a 75-square-meter house with a rent of 8,000 yuan a year." Wang Dongli said, "Before, Chen Yulong and his sister studied at the Stone Monkey Primary School, from Wutonggou to the Stone Monkey Elementary School for about four or five miles, every Friday, I had to go to the town to pick up the eldest children to go home, and then take Chen Yulong and the younger daughter home, which was particularly inconvenient." In order for the children to go to school, we gritted our teeth and moved to the town. ”

Wang Dongli and Chen Yongli's highest education is junior high school, and at present, Chen Yongli works as an electrician in the county town.

Chen Yulong's favorite electronic keyboard at home, he will use this 20-year-old electronic keyboard to play "Doraemon". He did not know that this piano was bought by Chen Yongli, who once had a musical dream, for more than fifty yuan when he was working in Beijing in 2002, "At that time, the income was only 20 yuan a day, and it took a long time to save before he was willing to buy it back." Later, when they got married, they became a toy for their children. Chen Yongli's voice lowered, but his voice quickly rose again, "Life is still passable." Chen Yulong likes to sing, as long as he likes, I will always provide him with reading. ”

On January 30, in his first interview with reporters, Chen Yulong said he wanted to be a singer. After participating in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, back in Fuping, has Chen Yulong's dream changed?

"I want to be a music teacher like Grandma Deng (Deng Xiaolan) in the future." Chen Yulong said.

Asked why, Chen Yulong was silent for a while, "Someone has to build my home, and I want to pass on the knowledge." ”
