Sanchahe Village suddenly erupted with Mother Cheng's excited shouts, "My dear friend, Xiao Bin is on TV! He's playing the piano!"
Instantly, countless villagers were stirred from their evening routines.
It was just after eight o'clock at night. Mother Zhang wasn't a big fan of television, so she was under the large banyan tree, bragging to a crowd of women.
Hearing the news, Mother Zhang leaped to her feet, exclaiming excitedly, "Really? Is it true?" She now had brand new material to boast about.
"It's true!"
Mother Cheng rushed over and switched on the television set that was kept under the banyan tree. For the sake of liveliness, Mother Cheng had decided to leave the television there instead of moving it inside. A shelter had been built over it, of course, so there was no fear of rain. Besides, with the terrifying Array Plate guarding Sanchahe Village, they didn't have to worry about thieves.
The TV screen immediately lit up with the *Masked Singing King* competition.
