Chapter 388 Singing on stage
Xiao Lu's wife is lucky. She married a good husband, has a family that loves her, and an in-law family that dotes on her.
Even when it came to having children, she took a detour and gave birth to three babies, a son and a daughter. Her career was also thriving. She was simply the best military wife that was envied by everyone in the entire family compound.
At that time, military uniforms did not have stars and bars, but only red shoulder straps and five-pointed stars on their caps.
Jiang Zhizhi also found out after transmigrating into the book that one has to look at the number of pockets on the shirt. Warriors' shirts usually have two pockets, while officers' uniforms have four pockets.
Commander Shen and Commander Zhao came personally to invite Mr. Lu to sit in the first row. The old general who followed the great leader to build the country should sit in the center.
In fact, Mr. Lu wanted to sit with the three little ones. Teacher Zhao followed the old general's line of sight and looked at the big cart pushed by Jiang Zhizhi. The three little kids were not afraid of strangers and waved their little hands with a smile.
"Hey, we have three more soldiers in our army. Come, sit in the front row with us old guys and watch the show, okay?"
"That's great! I haven't held a baby in my arms for many years."
Just like that, the three little ones sat gloriously in the front row, receiving the fiery gazes from all directions.
The children in the courtyard exclaimed several times, staring at Aunt Zhizhi's little brother and sister eagerly, and were even more excited than the three little ones.
Teacher Zhao thought he was very good, and deliberately picked the fat kid with the most flesh on his body. He just held him for a while, took a deep breath quietly, lowered his head, and looked into the fat kid's big dark eyes, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Lu, Zhizhi, your child is well raised, and he is blessed to be fat."
It seemed as if the little fat boy could understand the compliments from his grandfather. He lay comfortably in Teacher Zhao’s arms. His chubby little hands would pat Teacher Zhao, making Teacher Zhao laugh and cry. He didn’t mind if his hands were sore and was willing to be the cushion.
Old Master Lu laughed heartily and sat in the center seat holding the little Rice Ball. Commander Shen took the little darling over and fondled him for a while, but because he was going to go on stage to give a speech later, he had to reluctantly return the little darling to Jiang Zhizhi.
Commander Shen came to the stage and gave an inspiring opening speech, and then wished our soldiers and their families a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival performance began with warm applause.
This year, the beautiful girls in the art troupe have put in a lot of effort. They have prepared not only singing and dancing, but also skits, crosstalk and stage plays.
The girls used dance to act out the farewell of the soldiers by the wives of the soldiers. With vivid body language and expressive lines, they portrayed the soldiers' resolute departure for the battle with full passion. Amid the raging battles, the thick smoke and the dangers of hail of bullets, the soldiers always kept their mission in mind and defended the motherland with their blood and lives.
But since today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the "military wife" finally waited for her soldier husband who had gone to the battlefield to return home as she wished. The war was over and peace was won.
The backstage staff in charge of the lighting on both sides of the stage kept changing the lights to create smoke.
The soldiers and their wives in the audience sometimes held their breath, sometimes were moved to tears, and sometimes were filled with fighting spirit.
The performers from the cultural troupe sparkled on the stage and won applause from the audience with their superb performances.
Jiang Zhizhi watched with great interest. The little darling clapped his hands in his mother's arms.
After a while, the tough guys in the camp also came on stage to perform. The comrades below were so excited that they sang at the top of their lungs, cheering one after another, pushing the joyful atmosphere to its climax.
Lu Xingchen and Jiang Wang were urged by many soldiers to go on stage. Lu Xingchen stood up and jumped wildly onto the stage. The soldiers on the stage voluntarily gave up their center seats, their eyes full of admiration. They looked at the strong man they admired and stood still, and instantly burst into happy laughter.
Jiang Wang was grinning with his big white teeth bared. He also strode onto the stage and was welcomed to the center. Jiang Wang put his big hand on his good brother Lu Xingchen's shoulder, his big white teeth shining, "One, two, three, sing!"
Lu Xingshen raised his head, his eyes fell on the five-star red flag fluttering in the playground, and then fixed on his wife sitting in the front row, singing with a smile.
"Unity is strength..."
The two of them led many soldiers on the stage to sing songs and laugh happily.
After the performance, Commander Shen announced another good news. At the end of this month, he had applied for several movies to be screened for everyone in turn.
One of them was a movie about a female pilot. Jiang Zhizhi looked at the picture in Commander Shen’s hand. The short-haired pilot looked heroic and immediately caught Jiang Zhizhi’s attention.
Everyone in the family compound cheered. They had all read Jiang Zhizhi's comic strip "Pilot's Blue Sky Dream" and were full of longing for the blue sky of their motherland. Many children also liked China's large airplanes and fighter planes.
Soon after the good news was announced, the children began counting the days on their fingers, looking forward to the day of watching the movie.
Wang Dongning, the most beautiful red rose recognized by the art troupe, has been looking for the tall and fierce figure in the crowd.
Wang Dongning's friend couldn't help but joked: "Dongning, I feel shy when I see your look."
"Is Captain Jiang really that good? He has stolen your heart."
"Besides, the stage play you starred in tonight won so much applause that Director Jiang must have seen it. Even if I am a girl, I am completely fascinated by you, let alone a man."
Wang Dongning laughed heartily, without any hesitation, and readily admitted: "Jiang Wang is recognized by the troops as the most difficult flower to pluck from the alpine mountains. How good is he?"
Wang Dongning had a bright smile on his face. "You are honest and straightforward, and you look especially good when you smile. I am so happy that Director Jiang is singing on the stage tonight."
"You may not believe me, but his kindness is irreplaceable."
"It's over, Dongning."
Wang Dongning also felt that she was done. After all, she liked him and there was nothing wrong with admitting it.
What's more, Captain Jiang is noticed by so many people, and their names are remembered and called out by name, which is enough to prove his excellence.
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition to spending time with their families, Lu Xingchen and Jiang Wang also brought the soldiers from the 792nd and 793rd Regiments for a gathering.
"Captain Jiang, what a coincidence."
Many soldiers looked back and gasped.
The girl in front of me had two shiny and smooth black braids, charming red lips, a slender waist, and a bright smile on her face. She walked with great grace. She was not shy at all even though so many people were staring at her. Instead, her smile deepened. Her unique charm was extremely alluring.
Isn’t this the Red Rose Wang Dongning from the art troupe?
When everyone saw this scene, they smiled silently. Our Captain Jiang’s peach blossom has arrived!
Lu Xingchen's dark eyes fell on his brother-in-law. He looked at him leisurely and pushed Jiang Wang with his big hand.
Jiang Wang cursed inwardly, "What a bastard, Old Lu, is he dissatisfied with the fact that he has lived too long?"
Don’t you know that your little one hates fickle radishes the most?
