This farce was so ridiculous that the military wives had no interest in watching the open-air movie. They huddled together in twos and threes, whispering and gossiping incessantly.
Seeing them chatting so enthusiastically, the members of the film projection team couldn't help but ask out of curiosity what had happened.
Zhou Shuhua was extremely flustered. How could she let such a shameful thing get out?
She gritted her teeth and had someone cut off the power, pretending it was a power outage. She quickly said a few polite words and sent everyone home.
Deng Cuixiang took the children home, leaving the older one to watch the younger one, a smile she couldn't hide on her face, and then walked towards Zhou Qiqi's house.
Just as they arrived at Zhou Qiqi's house, they ran into Zhu Yingying.
She had been helping to watch over some children in the square the whole time and hadn't seen what happened. Now she was so anxious, it felt like a cat was scratching her.
Seeing that Zhouzhou had gone to take a shower, the three of them quickly went into Zhou Qiqi's room together.
Zhu Yingying eagerly stepped forward, her voice full of anxiety.
"How did it go? How was it? Tell me quickly!"
"Hahahaha..."
Zhou Qiqi and Deng Cuixiang exchanged a glance, their laughter bursting forth like a flood that had broken its banks. They could no longer hold back and started laughing out loud.
Just now, in front of so many people, the two of them held back and didn't dare to even show a smile. Now that there are only the three of them in the room, they don't have any scruples anymore.
The two laughed so hard they were breathless for a full ten minutes, until their cheeks ached from laughing, before they finally began to recount what had happened.
At first, the two described the scene back and forth, but as they talked, Deng Cuixiang became more and more excited, using her hands and feet and her eyebrows to vividly recreate the scene.
Zhou Qiqi couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she could only watch from the sidelines, her eyes full of smiles.
"Everything is exactly as Qiqi predicted!"
Deng Cuixiang laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and she kept gesturing with her hands.
"Qiqi was next to me, her voice trembling, constantly shouting 'Don't come over, don't come over,' as if it were really true!"
"The two women, upon hearing the commotion, took off running and rushed over. I watched helplessly as they both fell into the cesspool with a 'plop'!"
"That scene, tsk tsk, you didn't see it. The faces of those two were... hahaha, they stank worse than pig manure!"
Zhu Yingying's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg inside.
"Really? That's amazing?"
Zhou Qiqi laughed along, but pretended to be angry and scolded him.
"How dare you say that! I was getting into the act when I turned around and saw Sister Cuixiang laughing so hard she was shaking. If I hadn't secretly pinched her, she would have given herself away!"
Zhu Yingying felt a strong urge to join in, but also a little annoyed, so she stomped her foot and said...
"If I had known, I would have asked Old Wang to watch the kids. I would have taken turns with Sister Cuixiang, and I would have played the 'wild man'! I was sure I could have held back my laughter!"
Zhou Qiqi pouted, her face full of disgust.
"With your acting skills, you're not even as good as Sister Cuixiang! Yesterday afternoon when you passed the note, your face turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and you stammered, almost giving yourself away!"
Zhu Yingying's face flushed bright red, and she twisted the hem of her clothes while muttering.
"I...I was so nervous, afraid of being caught out, that I forgot my lines for a moment..."
Zhou Qiqi put her hands behind her back and shook her head in a mature manner.
"You two usually practice quite well, but you always mess up at crucial moments, and I have to hold the fort!"
Zhu Yingying was a little embarrassed. She scratched her head, grabbed Deng Cuixiang's arm, and the two of them looked at Zhou Qiqi with admiration.
"This isn't our first time! We'll learn from you in the future, and we definitely won't mess up next time!"
Zhou Qiqi shook her head helplessly and chuckled softly.
“There won’t be a next time. Li Hongjuan isn’t stupid. This method of ‘luring the enemy in’ is only effective once. It won’t work again.”
Zhu Yingying sighed in disappointment.
"Oh, what a pity..."
Deng Cuixiang burst into hearty laughter.
"What's there to regret? Qiqi's move should teach them a lesson! They'll definitely be more careful about gossiping about Qiqi in the future!"
She paused, then added.
"Moreover, the two of them made a huge fool of themselves tonight, and as a result, no one really believes the rumors that were circulating about them before! Everyone says that Qiu Chunfang just made things up out of thin air!"
Both of them praised it with admiration.
"Qiqi, that was a really amazing move!"
The three were chatting animatedly when Zhou Qiqi's courtyard gate creaked open.
Zhou Qiqi peeked out and saw that it was Shen Huaichuan who had returned!
Their previous disaster relief efforts were very successful. They predicted the location of the disaster in advance, evacuated people, and saved them a lot of losses. Afterwards, they also helped people rebuild their homes.
A few days ago, Political Commissar Lei sent him to the central government to share his rescue experience and receive commendation.
They clearly said they wouldn't be back until next Monday!
Now it's actually two days earlier than expected.
She hadn't told Shen Huaichuan about what happened tonight.
I was thinking that things would calm down in a couple of days, and then I could say a few words to him.
Unexpectedly, he came back so soon. There are rumors going around outside, and I don't know if he's heard them.
Deng Cuixiang and Zhu Yingying were very perceptive. As soon as they saw that Shen Huaichuan had returned, they didn't linger for a minute and disappeared in a flash, faster than rabbits.
Zhou Qiqi was nervously wondering how to tell Shen Huaichuan when she heard his cold voice.
"I just went to Political Commissar Lei's house."
Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. After that good show just ended, Zhou Shuhua didn't look at her well.
