Singing together like this is nothing unusual in the military; it can even liven up the atmosphere.

Shen Qian whispered in his daughter's ear, "Yueyue, could you sing 'Farewell' again?"

Besides hearing his daughter sing "Katyusha," Shen Qian had only ever heard "Farewell" once.

"Okay!" Yueyue wasn't intimidated at all, and the applause from the audience made her especially happy.

Shen Qian: "Next, Wei Yuetang will sing 'Farewell' for everyone!"

Applause erupted from the audience!

Because Yueyue was small, Shen Qian held her the whole time, and she held the microphone.

"Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches to the horizon, the evening breeze brushes the willows and the flute's melody fades away..." Yueyue sang a cappella without any accompaniment.

The song "Farewell" was originally intended to express the sadness and reluctance of friends parting ways.

As a result, Yueyue's clear, childlike voice was full of joy. It didn't sound out of place at all during the Chinese New Year...

This family of three brought the performance to a small climax.

The audience applauded enthusiastically throughout.

There's a performance going on stage, so it's definitely not appropriate for people to gossip about it from below.

But afterwards, they'll definitely talk for a long time about how well they're a good match and how they're a harmonious couple.

There were tears in Liu Jinping's eyes, and others thought she was in pain.

People might not say it, but they think she's a bit spoiled. It's just a fall, right?

Liu Jinping was actually angry.

She fell over as soon as she lifted the curtain and landed face down on the ground.

The people opposite her, almost half of the cafeteria, all saw her disheveled state.

But on stage, that family of three looked so radiant!

...

The military has strict working hours. Today is the Lunar New Year, so the hours have been pushed back a bit, but it won't be too late.

The party ended quickly.

Yueyue carried a bunch of delicious food. She didn't want any of it at first, but she had to give some to this person and some to that person.

Finally, someone simply gave her a bag. In no time, the bag was stuffed full of candy and melon seeds.

Yueyue looked at all these things with a sense of helplessness. "Mom, I didn't want these things!"

"I know, you can take it now!"

"Yueyue sings so beautifully!" Shen Changchuan hugged his granddaughter.

Shen Qian whispered to Song Yan, "Our performance was quite successful!"

"The quality is poor; they can only make do with a fancy facade!" Song Yan said.

Shen Changchuan: "The eldest son of the Leng family is also very outstanding."

With a phoenix tree in your home, how can you not attract a golden phoenix?

I heard that his mother had been eagerly trying to find him a partner.

So this is the person they found?

As a bodyguard for a leader, you don't need to be able to hear everything and see everything. But you absolutely must be quick-witted.

Liu Jinping was a new face. When she introduced the program, she put Song Yan on a high pedestal, and Shen Changchuan's new bodyguard, Sun Xin, told Shen Changchuan who she was and what her name was.

Sun Xin didn't know Liu Jinping's background, but Shen Changchuan knew it as soon as he heard the name.

...

The Leng family.

Leng's father leaned back on the sofa. "Old Shen has really turned his life around."

“Shen Qian has good taste; he knows how to find a wife!” said Leng Ma.

"Xiao Liu is a bit too lively today. Does she know Shen Qian's wife?" Leng's father recalled Liu Jinping's introduction during the program.

"I really don't know," said Leng Ma.

When Leng Ma first met Liu Jinping, she thought the child was enthusiastic and sweet-talking. But enthusiasm and sweet-talking depend on the situation.

If she can be sweet-talking and get along well with her comrades of the same rank as her eldest son, or with the families of military personnel, it means she is approachable and good at interpersonal relationships.

Today, everyone here is a cadre's family member, and it's their first time meeting. As long as they get along well, that's fine. There's no need for Liu Jinping to be so outgoing, and she doesn't need to curry favor with anyone.

It would be so much better to be as confident and outgoing as Song Yan, without any stage fright.

Leng Ma suddenly remembered the saying, "I'm afraid of comparing prices," but she didn't dare say it out loud.
