Chapter 382: Ending the Charity Performance
When Chu Mingzhou returned to the room, Lin Anan had already laid down. She was curled up in the quilt with only her head exposed.
The kang was so warm that her little face became rosy.
"Ming Zhou, come here quickly!" Lin Anan moved his body and patted the place beside him.
Chu Mingzhou lay down beside her, put his arm around her, and pulled her into his arms, "Are you in a good mood?"
"That's right. Zihuai returned safely this time and was awarded a third-class merit. I'm sure my parents will be very, very happy to know this."
Chu Mingzhou found her proud little look so adorable, so he scratched her nose with his fingertips and turned off the light.
Everything in front of me was instantly plunged into darkness.
Lin Anan subconsciously leaned closer to his arms, "Zi Huai was able to grow so fast, thanks to the organization. No wonder they say that all the outstanding men are handed over to the country. Only through the training of the organization can a person's character be corrected."
Chu Mingzhou found her statement interesting, but he still corrected her: "Joining the army is glorious. The army is not a labor camp, but it cannot help people change their personalities. Zihuai can highly cooperate with the organization because he has a high level of awareness."
"Yes, yes, you are right!"
Lin Anan felt that Chu Mingzhou just had the mindset of an old cadre, and he wouldn’t understand if things were complicated.
"I used to think Zihuai was ignorant. He had read quite a few books, but he was obsessed with love. He was a complete fool!
Now he says he wants to get married, and I feel very awkward... He has only been an adult for a short time, in fact, he is still a child, can he really support a family?"
Chu Mingzhou pondered for a moment and understood what she was worried about.
But it is very common to get married around the age of 20, so how can it be considered young?
"Don't think too much. Zihuai is capable. After getting married, he will have more responsibilities and will naturally become more mature."
Lin Anan pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond.
In the future... around the age of 20, that is, a clear-headed college student, very ignorant.
"I hope so."
Lin Anan turned over and took Chu Mingzhou's big hand and put it on her belly. "I feel the fetal movement is getting more and more obvious recently. Feel it."
As soon as Chu Mingzhou's palm covered his lower abdomen, he felt a slight touch.
"Do you feel it? It's like little fish swimming in your stomach."
"Hmm." Chu Mingzhou's throat tightened and his fingertips subconsciously stroked the softness.
"Baby, mom and dad love you~" Lin Anan's voice was soft and gentle.
Chu Mingzhou's mouth corners rose subconsciously. He felt that his young wife at this moment was like a docile cat, entrusting her most defenseless part to him.
So lovable.
"Mingzhou, who do you think the child will look like in the future?"
"Like you."
Lin Anan thought about it very seriously and said, "It's OK to look like me. I'm pretty."
Chu Mingzhou's smile deepened, "Yeah, very beautiful."
I don't know when the snow outside the window stopped, and the moonlight shone through the window lattice, casting a silver edge on the edge of the kang.
Lin Anan's voice gradually became sleepy, and she murmured: "Actually, I hope my child will look like you. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen..."
Her words became lighter and lighter, finally turning into even breathing.
Chu Mingzhou lay down a little, adjusted her into the most comfortable position, tucked the corners of the quilt, and then closed his eyes.
"My An An is the most beautiful."
The sunshine on New Year's Day morning pierced through the clouds, ushering in a rare sunny day.
Lin Zihuai got up early and helped Chu Mingzhou clear the snow in the yard.
The shovel made a "crunching" sound as it scraped through the ice.
"Oh, brother-in-law, our art troupe will not rest tonight. We will hold a performance in the auditorium to celebrate New Year's Day and to put an end to this charity performance!"
Chu Mingzhou piled the last shovel of snow into the corner and said, "Yes, I know. I'll take your sister to see it later. You should hurry back to the group after you finish this."
Lin Zihuai leaned the shovel against the wall, patted the snow residue on his trouser legs, and came over with sparkling eyes: "Brother-in-law, Du Juan and I have finished choreographing the "Snowy Night Outpost" we collaborated on! It will be premiered tonight."
"so what?"
"You can praise me in front of my sister when the time comes."
Chu Mingzhou: "..."
Chu Mingzhou frowned and looked at him, and suddenly felt that his wife was right, Zihuai was still too naive.
"I've left your coat on the sofa. Put it on before you leave."
"Okay~Thank you, brother-in-law."
Lin Zihuai went to the main hall to put on his coat and left in a hurry.
Lin Anan got up a little late, and when she walked out of the room, the yard had been cleaned up by Chu Mingzhou.
Hearing that there would be a performance in the evening, Lin Anan naturally wanted to go.
"That's a little too temporary."
"That's how it was originally arranged. I forgot to tell you."
After lunch, the two took some time to go to the hospital.
Lin Anan originally wanted to invite Gu Yan to watch the performance together, but it turned out that the one who treated her this time was Professor Liang, who said that Gu Yan had to return to Shanghai because of an emergency at home.
After completing the examination and getting the medicine, Lin Anan and the others went back.
As night fell, the military district auditorium was lit up, big red lanterns were hung at the door, and a banner reading "Celebrating New Year's Day and the successful conclusion of the Henan Province disaster relief charity performance" was hung.
When I walked into the auditorium, it was already packed with people.
The constant greetings and the creaking of seats moving, mixed with the faint scent of pine in the air, made the originally cold winter night warm.
Chu Mingzhou protected Lin Anan as they walked through the crowd and took the reserved seats in the front row.
Lu Qing was whispering to the head of the art troupe. When he saw the two people, he immediately waved to them.
"Mingzhou, sister-in-law, you guys are really late."
"Isn't this just right?"
Lu Qing has also lost a lot of weight. As an instructor, he must be more worried than ordinary members.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling well lately?"
Seeing that he was being polite to her again, Lin Anan just replied softly: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
I'm used to being tricked by this guy, so I feel like something's wrong when I see him smile!
Lin Anan was just beginning to be alert when Lu Qing said the second half of his sentence, "The show is about to start. I thought you were early. I want to ask your opinion on a show."
Chu Mingzhou threw a glare at Lu Qing, then gently squeezed Lin Anan's hand, signaling her not to pay attention, "The show is about to start."
Lu Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, it will start soon. There are still two minutes left."
The stage curtain was slowly opened, and the moment the spotlight came on, the whole audience suddenly fell silent.
Lin Zihuai's new song was actually arranged into the first group of programs, which shows how much the art troupe recognizes him.
Five performers came on stage and stood apart. Lin Zihuai was in the second position from the left, holding an accordion, his military uniform neatly arranged.
In the front are the singers, and Du Juan, the lead singer of this song, stands in the middle.
The accompaniment sounded, and the desolate and passionate melody of "Snowy Night Post" instantly flowed into every corner of the auditorium: "Snowflakes all over the sky fall on my shoulders, and the love in my heart is longer than the night. For the peaceful dreamland of my country, my regretless youth is engraved beside the post on the snowy night..."
