Chapter 256 Can She Do It?
Who is she looking at?
Gu Huai followed her gaze, searching the stage, and finally locked onto Wu Hai.
Wherever Wu Hai is, her sight is there. Obviously, the person who makes her eyes shine is Wu Hai!
Gu Huai's eyes flickered between Wu Hai and Yu Hui, and he felt a little sour in his heart.
Wu Hai is the soldier with the best overall qualities in their regiment. He is also good-looking and younger than himself.
Apart from being older than him, holding a higher position, and receiving more salary and allowances than him, I have no other advantages over him.
Moreover, being older cannot be considered an advantage.
Gu Huai tugged at his collar, feeling a little annoyed.
As soon as the Special Forces Regiment's performance ended, the audience burst into warm applause.
Gu Huai walked from behind the scenes to the front and took his bow with the soldiers.
"It's Dad." Gu Dong excitedly pointed at his father who walked to the center of the stage.
"Dad..." Gu Nan and Gu Xixi shouted and waved to their father on the stage.
Yu Hui also picked up Beibei's little hand and waved towards the stage.
Gu Huai nodded towards them, and when he saw Yu Hui smilingly taking Beibei's little hand and waving at him, he felt a little better.
After the special forces took their bows and walked off the stage, the ballet performance of "The Red Detachment of Women" began.
The dancers, dressed in military uniforms, holding guns and wearing ballet shoes, walked onto the stage with great vigor and danced to the music.
It was the first time that Gu He saw someone dancing on tiptoe, and he was amazed.
Gu Huai looked at the soldiers backstage and said, "Everyone performed very well today. They showed everyone the strength and style of our special forces regiment."
"Especially you, Wu Hai." Gu Huai gritted his teeth and patted Wu Hai's shoulder, and his young wife was so fascinated that she couldn't take her eyes off him.
Wu Hai's right shoulder slumped and he grinned.
I thought to myself: The deputy commander’s hands are really strong, he deserves to be the deputy commander.
"Well, go sit down and watch the show."
The soldiers of the special forces regiment sat down in the vacant seats in the area where the soldiers sat, and Gu Huai sat behind Commander Zhan and the others.
After Gu Huai sat down, he looked in the direction of his family from time to time. During this time, except for Yu Hui, he also met the eyes of everyone else.
Yu Hui didn't even look in her direction.
Gu Huai truly felt how little his little wife cared about him.
My heart felt sour again.
It was half past eight and the last singing show had already ended.
The host walked onto the stage with a manuscript in hand. "Since ancient times, our country has had the custom of appreciating the moon and guessing lantern riddles during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Today, the last part of our gala is about guessing lantern riddles."
"Anyone who wants to participate, regardless of their status, can participate. The top three will receive prizes."
When they heard there were prizes, everyone became excited and asked what the prizes were.
The host didn't keep it a secret, "The third place prize is a thermos."
As soon as this was said, someone came up on stage with a thermos bottle and walked around the stage to show it to everyone.
"Second place, a four-tube semiconductor radio."
"First place, a Phoenix brand bicycle."
Everyone was excited when they saw the bicycle.
The bicycle that you want to buy but it’s not easy to get a ticket for has become the prize for guessing lantern riddles. Who wouldn’t want it?
Yu Hui widened her eyes. Isn’t this just a pillow for someone who is sleepy?
She had just wanted to buy a bicycle when this bicycle arrived.
As the riddle-guessing champion of the company's annual meeting, she is also confident in guessing lantern riddles.
When she was in the orphanage, there were many lantern riddles and puzzles collections among the reading materials donated by kind-hearted people, and she had read many of them.
"If I could read and write, I would definitely go on stage and try it out." Qian Lan was envious when she saw the brand new Phoenix car.
Gu Hongmei was also jealous. "The prize is so generous, this riddle must be very difficult. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to guess."
"Of course." Gu Qiuyan nodded.
She didn't think about it. With her brain, she couldn't even understand books, let alone guess riddles.
Yu Hui handed Beibei to Gu Qiuyan who was sitting next to her, rubbed her hands, and was ready.
"Comrades who want to participate in the lantern riddle guessing can now go on stage."
Everyone was looking to see who would walk onto the stage.
Although many people want to get rewards, most people know that they are not worth joining in the fun.
Ye Xuelian, who was unable to perform on stage, was the first to go on stage because of the close distance.
Because she was the first person to go on stage to participate in the lantern riddle guessing activity, many people's attention was focused on her.
Ye Xuelian couldn't help but straighten her back a little more. She liked the feeling of being the center of attention.
Gu Qiuyan was looking around to see who would go on stage, but unexpectedly her mother stood up.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Yu Hui: "Go up and guess the lantern riddles!"
"Xiao Yu, do you want to participate in the lantern riddle guessing game?" Qian Lan exclaimed, "Can you do it?"
Yu Hui curled her lips and smiled, "Is it okay? You'll know if you try it."
After saying this, Yu Hui walked out from her seat in the surprised gazes of the people around her.
"Come on, Mom." Gu Xixi clenched her fists and cheered for her mother.
"Come on." Yu Hui turned her head and made a cheering gesture to him.
Gu Huai also saw Yu Hui stand up. She also wanted to participate in the lantern riddle guessing competition?
"Oh, look, my sister-in-law is also on stage." Yu Qiang said to the others, pointing at Yu Hui who was walking towards the stage.
When the others looked closely, they found that it was indeed their sister-in-law.
"Didn't they say my sister-in-law can't read? Why did she go up there to guess the lantern riddles?"
"Can sister-in-law do it?"
Wu Hai: "Of course I can. My sister-in-law cooks noodles so delicious."
Some people laughed at Wu Hai, saying, "Cooking delicious noodles has nothing to do with being able to guess lantern riddles."
"Haha, that's it..."
Wu Hai looked at Yu Hui on the stage, and he felt that his sister-in-law would be able to do it.
When Liu Qin saw Yu Hui standing on the stage, she mocked her, "An illiterate person going up there, I'm afraid it's not to guess riddles, it's embarrassing! She really wants to ride a bicycle like crazy."
Everyone sitting next to her knew that she and Yu Hui did not get along. Although they felt that Yu Hui was definitely not okay, they did not respond to Liu Qin's words.
Wen Zhaodi also looked at Yu Hui on the stage and said to the mother-in-law beside her: "I bet Yu Hui will be eliminated in the first round."
Zheng Jie Xiu curled his lips and said, "Of course. I wonder where Tiejun is? He should have gone up to guess the lantern riddles. Winning a radio wouldn't be bad either."
She had wanted a radio for a long time.
As one of the organizers of the evening party, Wu Tiejun is not allowed to participate in the lantern riddle guessing activity.
Seeing Yu Hui coming on stage, Su Yun and Zheng Qiulan both looked surprised and waited to see Yu Hui's performance.
They all knew that Xiao Yu was a down-to-earth person, and if he didn't have something really in his head, he wouldn't have rashly gone on stage.
Although they were both well-educated, they did not plan to participate in the event because they both had bicycles at home and were the best-off people in the compound, so they did not compete with the soldiers and their families for these prizes.
"Gu Huai, that's your wife Xiao Yu, right?" Political Commissar Gao pointed at Yu Hui on the stage, turned his head and looked at Gu Huai and asked.
Gu Huai nodded.
Political Commissar Gao laughed, "I didn't expect she could guess lantern riddles. I'm really looking forward to seeing how your Xiaoyu performs."
Gu Huai smiled and nodded.
The others looked at Gu Huai in surprise. They had heard that Gu Huai's young wife who went to the countryside was illiterate.
Is it okay to guess riddles?
Soon, Yu Hui proved with her strength that she was really capable.
