Chapter 11 Spring Festival Gala

"Mom, I'm out here alone, and I have a lot of money to spend. Besides, it's winter now, and it must be very cold in the north."

"I guess sister bought some thick clothes." Lin Jianshe said.

Lin Shuyi, "Come on, second brother, second sister is in the army, the army takes care of everything, why would she buy clothes?"

"Besides, what kind of clothes can you spend ten dollars on in a month?"

She thought that her second sister must have secretly hidden the money.

Lin Jianshe glared at Lin Shuyi and said, "You are the only one who understands."

Lin Shuyi rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother, stop worrying about your second sister. Think about yourself. I ran into Director Liu from the Street Office on the street today, and he asked about you."

Speaking of this, Lin's mother is worried. Her son has graduated from high school, but he still hasn't found a job. If he can't find a job after the Chinese New Year, he will probably have to move to the countryside.

Lin Jianshe had already made up his mind: "I will go to the countryside."

Lin's mother asked, "If you go to the countryside, can you do farm work?"

Lin Jianshe raised his eyebrows and said, "Mom, give me your job."

"Go to the countryside, to your second sister's place, in a village near Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Province. I'll go talk to Director Liu now." Mother Lin came up with a plan in just one second.

She can't give up work, work is her life!

Lin Jianshe: "Okay." It would be best if he could find a job, but if not, he could just go to the countryside. He accepted that.

It’s nice to be able to go to his sister’s place now.

Lin's mother was also quick. She went to the street office that day to register her son to go to the countryside, and he left after the Chinese New Year.

On Lin Shuyin's side, after Sarin came back from home, the four of them had a meal at a state-owned hotel and then returned to the army.

The Chinese New Year is only half a month away.

Every year during the Spring Festival, the army holds a Spring Festival Gala, which is performed by the art troupe. Of course, soldiers and their wives can perform if they want.

The day after Lin Shuyin returned to the group, the team leader Meng Jia approached her and asked her, "Shuyin, do you want to sing alone at the Spring Festival Gala?"

She was very optimistic about this child, who had a great talent for music. After learning the horse-head fiddle, he could play scales the next day, although he could only play two notes.

"Captain, can I sing alone?" Lin Shuyin was surprised.

Meng Jia, "Of course you can. I'm just worried that you'll be nervous since it's your first time on stage."

Lin Shuyin shook her head, "Captain, I'm not nervous. I treat them all as carrots."

Meng Jia, "Just don't be nervous."

"The song you are going to sing is Hongmei Zan. You should practice well in the next half month."

Lin Shuyin, "Got it, Captain!" He saluted very seriously.

Meng Jia patted her shoulder and said, "Well, keep going. I'm optimistic about you."

After that, I arranged songs for other people. Li Ting and Cha Su sang "Praise" together.

This was followed by a chorus.

Song Weiwei has a good relationship with Li Ting. "I thought the captain would give you the solo singing spot, but it was given to Lin Shuyin instead."

Li Ting was also unhappy. She was the strongest among the members of the choir. Song Weiwei and Chen Meilian were not as good at singing as her. Logically, the solo singing spot should be given to her, after all, Lin Shuyin had just arrived.

The captain gave it to her.

Li Ting smiled, "She sings better than me."

Song Weiwei curled her lips, "I can't feel it, you two are the same."

Li Ting, "Let's just follow the captain's instructions. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Since the person concerned had said so, Song Weiwei didn't say anything and went back to practice.

New Year’s Eve is here soon. The Spring Festival Gala is held on New Year’s Eve after the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Before the performance, Sarin came over to Lin Shuyin and said, "Shuyin, I'm a little nervous."

Although she did not perform alone like Lin Shuyin, this was her first time on stage, and there were so many people, and there were only two people playing the horse-head fiddle.

If she accidentally plays the wrong tune, she's doomed.

Lin Shuyin comforted him, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, just treat them as carrots."

Sarin laughed, "Is this how you comfort yourself?"

Lin Shuyin: “Yes.”

Sarin, "Okay, I'll treat them all as radishes."

Among the four of them, she and Su Xiangwei performed solo, Lin Shuyin sang, and Su Xiangwei played the violin.

Play it again and sing it again before the performance to confirm.

"Shuyin, I'll give you one."

Li Ting took out a White Rabbit candy, but Lin Shuyin didn't take it. "Thank you, Li Ting, but you can keep it for yourself."

Li Ting smiled, "I still have some. I bought a pound last week."

Lin Shuyin still shook her head, "Eating sweets before singing will make your throat burn and cause phlegm, which will make it difficult to sing." Her tone was meaningful.

Li Ting's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. How could she know? How could Lin Shuyin know this? Didn't she just graduate from high school?

How would she know this when she had never had a professional teacher to teach her before?

Li Ting smiled awkwardly, "Really? Then I won't eat it either."

"I get nervous every time I'm about to perform on stage. To relieve my nervousness, I eat a piece of candy before going on stage."

Lin Shuyin didn't believe her lies. She had seen this kind of low-level trick to frame people during the art examination, little Karami.

Lin Shuyin, "Yeah, Li Ting, don't eat it next time."

Li Ting: "Okay."

Seeing Lin Shuyin's clear eyes, she shouldn't doubt her, right?

Before going on stage to perform, everyone sang the songs they were going to perform, and there were no problems. Lin Shuyin was thinking that if she had accepted Li Ting's song and failed to sing the high note just now, the captain Meng Jia would definitely change someone else to sing, and it would be Li Ting.

After all, Li Ting had also practiced the song "Hongmei Zan" with her.

Moreover, the captain will be disappointed in her and probably won't consider her for such matters in the future.

She's so vicious! No wonder Captain Shen dislikes her.

But she didn't take the candy, nor did she drink the water handed to her by others. She protected her throat well.

The first performers were Li Ting and Cha Su, who sang "Praise" to warm up the crowd.

After Li Ting and Cha Su came down, it was Salin's turn to play the double horse-head fiddle, and she was the third one.

She was indeed not nervous before going on stage, but once she was on stage and saw the crowded crowd below, she suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Red plum blossoms bloom on the red rocks...

A thousand miles of frost underfoot..."

This voice gave the leaders below a chill.

Lu Feng smiled and said to everyone, "It sounds nice, right? I recruited this girl."

"If you don't believe me, ask Captain Shen. We went there together."

Lu Feng turned his head and saw Shen Guannan staring at the girl motionlessly. He called the girl's name several times before he came back to his senses.

Lu Feng, "Captain Shen, are you attracted to Comrade Xiao Lin?"

Shen Guannan didn't say anything. Lu Feng said, "I'm several years younger than you."

Shen Guannan pointed at himself and said, "You mean I'm old?"

He is only 26 after the Chinese New Year!

Lu Feng, "I heard from my husband that the girl is only 18 years old, and she will be 19 after the New Year tonight."

Lu Feng’s wife is the choir leader Meng Jia.

"You are seven years older than the girl."

Shen Guannan, "It's seven years old, not seventy years old."

Really, it makes him sound very old.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Feng asked, "Are you really attracted to this little girl?"

Shen Guannan said nothing. Yes, he liked her. He fell in love with her on the train. So what?
