Chapter 104 Opportunity
When the two were immersed in their love, Lin Zihuai's loud voice suddenly rang out outside the door: "Sister, brother-in-law, it's time to eat! No, what's that noise in your room?"
Lin Anan then blushed and pulled herself out of Chu Mingzhou's arms, straightened her messy hair, and said, "I'm here! Your brother-in-law bought me a tape recorder, do you want to see it?"
When Lin Zihuai heard the word "recorder", he ran away as if he was burned: "No, no, you guys come out and eat quickly."
Thinking back... to how he had destroyed the tape recorder his dad had bought for his sister for Jiang Tong, he still felt guilty and didn't dare to stay any longer.
"Let's go."
Chu Mingzhou stopped the recorder, took Lin Anan's hand, and walked towards the dining room together.
When Lu Qing saw the two of them being so intimate, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he looked at Chu Mingzhou coldly, full of disapproval.
In his eyes, Chu Mingzhou's behavior was too unkind. He was determined to divorce Lin Anan, but now he was pretending to be deeply in love with her. This was deliberately deceiving the girl, and it also ruined his plan to recruit Lin Anan into the art troupe.
After sitting down, the little ones were so excited when they heard that their eldest brother had bought a tape recorder for his sister-in-law.
Lin Anan smiled and soothed them, "Eat your meal obediently. Sister-in-law will bring out the tape recorder later. But you can't record it now. You can only listen to the tape."
"Great!" the little ones cheered and ate even harder.
Lu Qing swallowed his dissatisfaction, put on a smile, and pretended to be surprised and joked: "Mingzhou, you really love your wife. It's not easy to get a tape recorder in this northwest."
Chu Mingzhou smiled faintly and replied: "It was just a coincidence. I bought it when I saw it."
Lin Zihuai was concentrating on eating, but his mind was completely on the tape recorder. He would steal a glance at Lin Anan from time to time, hoping that his sister would take out the tape recorder so that he could tinker with it.
Who among those who study music doesn’t like these new products?
He was also blinded by greed at the time, and he exchanged such a good item just like that.
Lu Qing saw his eagerness and didn't miss the opportunity. While everyone was chatting enthusiastically, he turned the topic to the art troupe: "Zihuai, if you join the art troupe, you will be able to play with all kinds of music equipment in the future, which is much more interesting than this tape recorder. You can also learn skills from professional teachers."
Lin Anan looked at Lu Qing helplessly. Just as she was about to speak, Chu Mingzhou spoke first: "Join the art troupe? No! Zihuai has a lively personality. He should work on his edges in the army."
Lu Qing hit a hard nail, but he was not discouraged, and still smiled: "What do you know? I just cherish talent! I also want to win reputation for the art troupe.
You know Mu Youwei, right? He is the mainstay of the Military Flag Art Troupe and is well-known throughout the country! He came here with Qiao Xu this time, and they are both at my house now."
"Mu Youwei? Qiao Xu?"
"That's right, but there's nothing we can do about it. They have good innate conditions and good subsequent resources. Compared to them, it's true..."
"Lin Zihuai can join the art troupe."
"ah?"
Lu Qing was stunned!
He was still trying to persuade him, but Chu Mingzhou just... agreed so readily?
"Mingzhou, are you serious?"
Lin Zihuai was just shoveling a big mouthful of rice into his mouth when he was also stunned. He even forgot to chew and stared blankly at Chu Mingzhou.
Chu Mingzhou looked calm. He glanced at Lin Zihuai, then glanced at Lu Qing, and said slowly, "Zihuai definitely needs more experience, but he is still young and tends to act impulsively. Are you sure you can lead him?"
Lin Zihuai swallowed the food in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up amazingly, and he nodded hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, if Instructor Lu can lead, I will also work hard and do a good job!"
Lin Anan: “…”
Lu Qing reacted and nodded quickly, following his words, "Yes, I can take care of him. I promise to train him well."
"Um."
Lu Qing struck while the iron was hot: "How about after the New Year? After the New Year, I will submit a report and make room for a spot, giving priority to Lin Zihuai."
Lin Zihuai looked at his sister eagerly.
Lin Anan glanced at Chu Mingzhou again, not knowing what was wrong with him, and finally nodded: "Then I'll trouble Instructor Lu."
"Hahaha~ Okay, okay, no trouble. We are all family, no trouble." Lu Qing laughed particularly happily.
His eyes fell on Lin Anan from time to time, and his dying heart became lively again.
Throughout the meal, Lu Qing observed very carefully.
He felt that the way Chu Mingzhou looked at Lin Anan was not innocent.
My previous guess that his iron tree would bloom might be true!
Before leaving, Lu Qing deliberately slowed down a few steps, approached Chu Mingzhou and reminded him: "The divorce application you submitted should have been in the hands of Brigade Commander Tang. Remember to get it back as soon as possible, otherwise... once this year is over and the seal is stamped, it will be a real divorce."
Chu Mingzhou paused and hummed softly.
"Then I'll go first. You better remember this, it will be hard to find such a good wife if she runs away."
Chu Mingzhou frowned slightly, thinking that this person was a little weird.
Lu Qing waved and left.
But the calculations in his mind began to take shape again.
It’s better not to get divorced!
As long as she doesn't get divorced, Lin Anan will be a member of the Northwest Military Region. Nowadays, female comrades value self-reliance and self-improvement, and hope to get better development opportunities.
Then, with Lin Anan's versatility, the most suitable place for her is still the art troupe, and her final choice will only be the art troupe...
Lu Qing's mood went back and forth, from sunny to cloudy, to drizzle, and then to sunny again, with huge ups and downs.
Chu Mingzhou went back to the house to move the tape recorder.
Lin Anan followed and pursed her lips, "Why did you suddenly agree to let Zihuai join the art troupe? This is too urgent, we haven't even prepared yet."
"I have to get in eventually, so I might as well take advantage of the best time. There will be a big reform in the art troupe next year, so if you get in early, you will have more opportunities."
"Opportunity? Reform?"
"Yeah, and he likes it too."
Now that things have come to this, it can only be like this.
The tape recorder was brought out.
Chu Mingzhou raised his hand and pressed a button lightly. The melody in the recorder flowed slowly, instantly filling the entire main hall.
It was an uplifting revolutionary song. The passionate notes danced in the air. The little ones were listening to it with great joy and began to dance to the rhythm.
Lin Zihuai also rubbed against the tape recorder, squatted down and looked at it carefully, touching this and looking at that, as if he wanted to glue his eyes to it.
Lin Anan shook her head slightly, poured herself a cup of tea, and sat down on the sofa.
At this time, Aunt Chu brought a bamboo sieve with a lot of ingredients and herbs in it, and said with a smile: "Mingzhou, let them listen for a while and then move it back. The neighbors will come to our house to fry spices in the afternoon, and we are afraid that too many people will mess it up."
"Okay, I understand."
