When Chen Jiao heard Jiang Siyu's words, she paused and her face became more serious.
"Sister-in-law, the army rewards our brother Xu based on his merits. It is the leaders' business to decide what rank and position to give our brother Xu. The leaders' decisions are not something I can casually discuss.
In addition, after the founding of the New China, bureaucratic titles such as Madam had long been abolished, and all people, regardless of gender or occupation, were addressed as comrades. Sister-in-law, if you really don’t want to call me by my name in the future, please call me comrade. ”
Jiang Siyu's face twitched as she listened to Shen Jiao's harsh words.
The movement in the military region was not as vigorous as that in local areas.
However, regardless of military rank, one is not allowed to address others as "Madam". Bureaucratic practices are strictly prohibited and this has been made very clear over and over again.
Even so, every woman has vanity.
For example, when she privately praised Zhang Fengxia, she always called her "Political Commissar's Wife", and Zhang Fengxia enjoyed it very much.
I didn’t expect Chen Jiao to be so cautious at such a young age.
Jiang Siyu quickly patted her lips in a pretentious manner, and said with a flattering smile: "Jiaojiao, sister-in-law is very stupid with her mouth. She said the wrong thing when she was happy."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you.
With Jiang Siyu like this, Shen Jiao couldn't say anything more.
She softened her expression and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. We should be more careful in the future. After all, military merits are earned by men fighting in the front. We, as wives of soldiers, cannot hold them back in the rear just because we can't control our mouths."
Jiang Siyushan responded with a smile.
The group followed other military wives into the army's auditorium.
As soon as Shen Jiao entered the auditorium, she met a pair of dark and deep eyes.
Her eyes met with Lu Zhengxu's in the air, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled sweetly, and a smile also spread across Lu Zhengxu's deep eyes.
The soldier led a group of military wives to their seats.
The soldiers were seated in the front, and the wives of the soldiers who came to watch the ceremony were seated in the back.
After all the military wives were seated, the meeting officially began.
After the old leader gave an inspiring speech, he announced promotions and rewards for the meritorious soldiers.
In addition, Lu Zhengxu was promoted directly from battalion commander to company commander as rumored because he was awarded two first-class merits.
Many soldiers were promoted to higher ranks because of their meritorious service or sufficient seniority.
Among these people, Shen Jiao saw a familiar figure.
Shen Beixiao was promoted from deputy battalion commander to battalion commander.
Chen Jiao looked at the handsome figure among the crowd on the stage, her eyes fixed uncontrollably.
She felt a mixture of guilt, pride, anticipation, and all kinds of emotions, so much so that her heart was beating fast with nervousness.
Even though she knew very well that these were not her own emotions but the emotions of the original owner, she just couldn't control it.
Shen Beixiao on the stage seemed to have sensed something and looked in her direction.
But when he saw her, he frowned slightly and looked away.
After Shen Beixiao received the reward and stepped down, he couldn't help but ask Gu Honglin who was with him: "Whose family member is that military wife?"
Just now, Gu Honglin noticed, just like Shen Beixiao, that Shen Jiao had been looking at Shen Beixiao.
He shook his head. "I don't know her. She must be a military wife who just came to join the army."
Gu Honglin said this, somewhat speechlessly worrying about his friend.
"You said she doesn't even know you, so why is she staring at you? Could it be that she's attracted to you because you're handsome? If that's the case, and her man finds out, how are you going to get along with him?"
Shen Beixiao's brows knitted tighter.
A man of integrity has nothing to fear; he doesn't mind.
Not to mention that he knew that the woman must be a military wife, even if he didn't know, he wouldn't have any interest in her.
He would not give her any chance to interact with him.
After Lu Zhengxu accepted the award, although he was sitting upright in the front row, his eyes were always on Shen Jiao.
After seeing Shen Beixiao come on stage, Shen Jiao's eyes have been looking at Shen Beixiao without blinking.
Even though he knew that it was his brother-in-law, he still felt colder when he thought about how his wife didn't even look at him because of him.
Tong Dayi, who was sitting next to him, felt the terrifying aura of his own leader. Although he didn't know why his leader was not happy after just getting promoted, he was very foresighted and quickly moved his butt to the side.
Years of survival experience told him that it was best not to provoke his own leader at a time like this, otherwise he would not be able to bear the consequences of a volcanic eruption.
After the award ceremony, comrades from the art troupe came on stage to perform artistic performances to celebrate.
One red song after another is particularly pleasant to the ears.
The sonorous, spirited and powerful revolutionary dances, one after another, are also particularly inspiring.
Chen Jiao watched with great interest.
It has to be said that although the songs and dances of this era have a strong sense of the times, the power they convey is vigorous and full of hope.
After another dance.
A lively and smart girl wearing a green military uniform, two big shiny black braids and a military cap came on stage.
The girl has an oval face, a pair of watery almond eyes, natural black eyebrows, natural red lips, and a wheat-colored complexion that is healthy and vibrant. Her looks and figure are particularly in line with the aesthetic standards of this era.
As soon as she came on stage, thunderous applause broke out from the ranks of soldiers in front of her, and there was also some commotion among the soldiers' wives.
Yu Donghua, who was sitting next to Shen Jiao, tugged at Shen Jiao's sleeves and said excitedly, "Hey, Mingyue is back. We are so lucky to hear her today."
