Chapter 22 Brother, do you want a wife?

As a result, in addition to singing, Lin Shuyin also had to play the matouqin and erhu with other comrades in the band.

"It's a pity that Shuyin you are not joining our band." Yu Tienan muttered before leaving.

Meng Jia: "We only have a few Miao Miao in our choir, and your band is trying to snatch them away. That's outrageous."

Of course, they were joking. The art troupe is an integrated whole, and the art soldiers working in the troupe are all multi-talented, comprehensive talents.

Those who sing must learn to play instruments, and those who play instruments must be able to sing. The same goes for those in a dance troupe, who must learn many different dances.

This time we will be in the countryside for two months before returning, so everyone took their bedding with them when they packed their luggage.

Sarin, "I don't know about other villages, but when you go to our village, you can stay at my house."

"There are two sleeping rooms in my house, and one is empty, which is just right for the four of us to live in."

There are two rooms in their house. Her parents sleep in one room, and her three siblings sleep in another. Of course, the place where she sleeps is separated by cloth, so it is considered a separate room, but the kang is a big one.

"Okay." The three nodded.

It is better to live in Sarin's house than in a stranger's house.

It's good to be in the army, as you have a car for traveling. Chen Meilian was admitted to the county art troupe. She said that the art troupe in their county would drive a horse-drawn carriage to perform.

The military art troupe drove directly in two large military vehicles, one for musical instruments, luggage, rations and other things, and one for people.

The art troupe's military vehicle was not the kind that could seat two people in the front and three in the back, but rather a large truck.

Shen Guannan did not decide to go see his cousin on a whim. He received a letter from home. And as the art troupe happened to be going to perform in the countryside, he took a ride there.

Shen Guannan did not sit with the people from the art troupe. He sat in the front passenger seat of the car.

Sanhe Village is close to the city, and the group drove to their destination in half an hour.

When the army art troupe went to the countryside to perform, the leaders of the troupe naturally told the village secretaries and others of each brigade in advance, but the villagers didn't know about it.

It was the farming season, but when two large trucks entered the village, children and adults gathered around.

"The troops are coming"

"Is it the military art troupe? I heard the secretary's wife say a few days ago that the military art troupe would come to our village to give a consolation performance."

"That should be it. I saw Sarin. Isn't Sarin from the art troupe? Let's go ask him after we stop the car."

The car stopped at the gate of the village brigade. The Sanhe Village Secretary, brigade leader and others were already waiting. This time the team was led by deputy team leader Zhang Xia.

She went to talk to the village secretary and the team leader.

There were acquaintances all around, including her uncle. Sarin wanted to get off, but since the captain hadn't given the order, she didn't dare to and just sat in the car.

"Comrade, can we set up the stage in front of our brigade gate?" the village secretary asked Zhang Xia.

Their Sanhe Village Brigade was built in the middle of the village, with wide and flat terrain, making it perfect for building a performance stage.

Zhang Xia looked around and said, "Okay, let's go here."

"Everyone, come down and set up the stage first, then we can do the rest."

This time they will stay in the countryside for about two months, going to the Red Star Commune, the Red Flag Commune, and the Sanhe Commune respectively, with two to three brigades in each commune.

A large group of them will stay for a week to ten days, so they should set up the performance stage first.

The members of the art troupe are either pretty girls or handsome young men. They all wear military uniforms and caps, and they look so good.

Young guys like Shen Guannan are even more popular among the ladies in the village.

By the time the stage was set up, the entrance to the brigade was already crowded with people.

The educated youths far away in the east of the village also received the news. Lin Jianshe asked, "Ao Dun, are you saying that the military art troupe is coming to our brigade to perform?"

"So my sister is here too?"

Ao Dun, "Yes, yes, they are all here. My sister is here, and your sister is here too. Let's go over there quickly!"

Lin Jianshe called Zhao Fengnian and said, "Let's go for a walk."

Zhao Fengnian muttered on the way, "I have a feeling that my brother is coming too."

Ao Dun, "Is your brother also in the art troupe?"

"No, but he should come, and he should come."

His brother only came to see him once during the Chinese New Year and hasn't come for several months since then.

Zhao Fengnian was not mistaken. He squeezed into the crowd and saw his cousin Shen Guannan who was moving things. He excitedly pulled Lin Jianshe's sleeve and said, "Jianshe, my brother is here too."

Lin Jianshe, "Ah? If you really come, tell me, who is your brother?"

Zhao Fengnian pointed to him, "That one, that one, the tallest one."

At this moment, Shen Guannan turned around, and Lin Jianshe saw his face. He muttered, "Your brother looks..."

Zhao Fengnian: "Why, my brother is not good-looking"

Lin Jianshe, "She is not good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but she looks a little serious... Is it difficult to talk to your brother?"

He looked a little scared.

Zhao Fengnian: "No, my brother is easy to talk to. He has always liked to keep a straight face since he was a child."

"By the way, where's your sister?"

Lin Jianshe looked over and said, "Over there."

The two younger brothers went to find their respective older brothers and sisters.

Zhao Fengnian walked up to Shen Guannan with a smile.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Shen Guannan, "Look, you're here."

Zhao Fengnian complained, "Brother, you finally remembered that you have a younger brother in the countryside who hasn't come to see me for several months."

"My friend's sister comes back to see him once a week and brings him delicious food and drinks."

"I'm busy with work in the army." Shen Guannan said unhappily.

Being a battalion commander is not an easy job. Every day is very busy and sometimes you can’t even have a rest on Sundays.

Zhao Fengnian, "My sister is also in the army."

Shen Guannan asked doubtfully, "Are you also in the military art troupe?"

"Yeah, bro."

Zhao Fengnian thought of something important. He whispered, "Hey, brother, I'll introduce you to a wife. Do you want one?"

Shen Guannan had a question mark on his face. "What?"

Zhao Fengnian, "She is my friend's sister. She is very beautiful. Do you want to meet her?"

Shen Guannan shook his head, "No thanks." He already has someone he likes.

Lin Shuyin's good brother Lin Jianshe was also talking about this, "Sister, it's just that he's a little older, seven years older than you, but he's good in other aspects, he's pretty good-looking, and he's tall."

"He is in the same unit as you. He is said to be at the battalion commander level."

Lin Shuyin felt that the person her brother described looked familiar, so she asked, "What's his name?"

Lin Jianshe forgot, "I think his surname is Shen, and his name is Nan or something."

"Sister, that person is here with you guys. He is setting up a stage in front. Come with me and you will know."

Lin Shuyin knew who her brother was talking about. "You're talking about Captain Shen, Shen Guannan, right?"

Lin Jianshe, "Oh, yes, yes, that's Shen Guannan. This name is too hard to remember."

"You know him, so what? Is that okay?"

As she walked, Lin Shuyin said, "My dear brother, I am only 19 years old this year. I am still young and have never considered talking to someone. Besides, I am a new recruit and the army does not allow me to talk."

How is Shen Guannan? She seems to be a good person, but she has not thought about dating, at least not in the next two years.

"The other party is a cadre, you can talk to him." Lin Jianshe followed behind and chattered.

The two of them came out from the backstage and happened to run into Zhao Fengnian and Shen Guannan.

Zhao Fengnian widened his eyes and whispered, "Brother, brother, he is my friend, and that is his sister, look quickly!"
