Chapter 20: Going to the Countryside for Performances

If you say no, these people will definitely introduce someone else. Saying yes can save you a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Lin Jianshe felt from the bottom of his heart that these people were not worthy of his sister. His sister worked in the army art troupe, was beautiful, and had a beautiful singing voice.

When looking for a partner, I have to find a brother-in-law who has a formal job, is over 1.8 meters tall and looks handsome.

Being short and ugly is not acceptable, as it will affect the appearance of the next generation.

The educated youth who came with Lin Jianshe was called Zhao Fengnian.

"Nothing, it's just that my cousin is also in the army, in the same military district as your sister. He's 26 this year and has no partner, and my aunt is very worried. I was thinking that your sister might have no partner, so I wanted to let the two of them get to know each other."

Lin Jianshe, ".......Well, my sister's boyfriend is from my hometown, they should break up."

Zhao Fengnian, "Divided"

Lin Jianshe touched his nose and said, "It should be a breakup..."

Did he delay his sister's marriage? "What's your cousin's name? Is he an officer?"

Zhao Fengnian, "His name is Shen Guannan, he is a cadre and battalion commander. He is 26 years old now. He joined the army at the age of 17 and has been in the barracks for almost ten years."

"Oh."

Lin Jianshe thought the guy was a good guy, but he was a few years older than his sister. He asked, "Is your cousin good-looking?"

"Are you tall?"

Zhao Fengnian, "I don't know what my cousin looks like in the eyes of girls, but in my opinion, he looks quite decent and good-looking."

"As for his height, he's 1.88 meters tall, which is pretty tall."

That sounds good.

Lin Jianshe said, "How about you invite your cousin some other day, and I'll invite my sister, and the four of us can have dinner together."

"I think so."

"Jianshe, you are worthy of being my brother. Please go with me." Zhao Fengnian put his hand on his shoulder.

"Let Mother Ao Dun sew the clothes for you."

Because the three of them often work together, they have a good relationship.

Lin Jianshe: “Okay.”

However, before the next day, Lin Shuyin's troupe announced that they would be performing in the countryside, including Sanhe Village.

Sarin, "The more you don't want to go, the more you have to go."

I still have to perform. Now I have to meet her even if I don't want to. Maybe I can even meet my ex-boyfriend's fiancée.

"Saren, don't pay attention to them. I don't think they will take the initiative to talk to you." Lin Shuyin comforted.

This art troupe is really busy. They just came back from performing in the company and haven't had a few days' rest yet, but they have to go to the countryside to perform again.

When we return from the performances in the countryside, it will be July 1st and August 1st, the founding day of the Party and the Army.

Su Xiangwei, "I heard that when we go to the countryside, we have to help the team during the day and perform at night."

Li Jinyue: "That's right."

Sarin was not afraid of doing farm work, as she was originally from the countryside and farm work was no problem for her. What annoyed her was her former partner.

She said, "Don't worry, May and June are not the busy farming season. We can just help out and the team won't force us to do anything."

Lin Shuyin said, "Saren, tell your uncle to let us go herd the cattle."

Sarin said, "That's fine, but besides herding cattle and cutting grass for pigs, it's also pretty easy. We'll see when the time comes."

The art troupe was going to perform in the countryside, and Shen Guannan was going with them.

Song Weiwei was excited, "Li Ting, Captain Shen went to the countryside with us, do you think he did it for you?"

This time Li Ting was not happy. She shook her head and said, "No, his cousin is in the Sanhe Brigade."

"Cousin, an educated youth?"

Li Ting nodded, "Yes."

Song Weiwei: "Okay."

Li Ting was in a bad mood because during the period when the lower company's performances were taking place, the solo quota almost always went to Lin Shuyin, and she only had one or two chances.

She discovered that Captain Meng Jia valued Lin Shuyin very much.

Lin Shuyin has already learned the horse-head fiddle and the erhu, and some people suggested that she learn other instruments, but that was not the case for her. She was only required to play the accordion and pipa well.

Li Ting didn't understand why she was worse than Lin Shuyin. Was she a worse singer than Lin Shuyin? Not necessarily. Was she a worse musician than Lin Shuyin? Not necessarily.

So why does Meng Jia value her so much? She has only been here for half a year.

It takes two days to prepare for a performance in the countryside and arrange the performance program. The next day, Meng Jia found Li Ting and said, "Li Ting, I plan to give you the solo quota for this performance in the countryside. Please prepare the repertoire."

Li Ting shook her head and said, "Captain, let Shuyin sing the solo. Cha Su and I can sing the duet."

She wanted to sing solo in front of the military leaders, but she didn't want to sing solo in front of these country people. Could these people tell whether she sang well or not?

Meng Jia frowned, "Haven't you always wanted to sing solo?"

Li Ting said with a smile, "Captain, please let Shuyin come. I am used to singing with Chasu."

Meng Jia glanced at her and said, "That's fine, but Li Ting, our mission as cultural and artistic soldiers is to spread positive energy through singing and dancing, not to divide the audience."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand, Captain."

Li Ting felt guilty that her thoughts were seen through, and her voice became much softer than before.

Meng Jia: "Do you want the solo spot?"

Li Ting: "Captain, I can just sing with Cha Su."

"Okay, then I'll give the solo spot to Shuyin."

Meng Jia shook her head. This girl was too impatient. As the leader of the choir, how could she not know who sang well and who sang poorly?

She couldn't reach the high notes and her voice broke. She didn't practice often and always failed at the critical moments.

And yet she was blamed for not giving her the solo spot. How could she give it to her? After all, the songs she sang solo were all very difficult.

Song Weiwei didn't understand, "Li Ting, why don't you want to take the solo spot? It's such a rare opportunity."

Li Ting muttered, "What's so rare about that? If I perform in the countryside, how can those people know if I sing well?"

Song Weiwei, "You can't say that."

Solo, what a great opportunity to show herself. The captain didn't give it to her, but if he had given it to her, she would definitely seize it.

In fact, when she came to the art troupe, the captain also gave her the opportunity to sing solo, but there were too many people in the audience that time, and she was a little nervous and sang the lyrics incorrectly, and was also a little off-tune.

Afterwards, the captain asked her to sing with the others.

"If you want to sing solo, ask the captain for a spot." Li Ting saw what Song Weiwei was thinking.

Song Weiwei, "This is not good. The quota has already been given to Shuyin."

Li Ting snorted coldly, "What's wrong with that? She has sung this song so many times. Let her take the spotlight in this company performance."

“It’s time for someone else to sing.”
