The literary group was split into two factions.
One faction is headed by Tian Dani;
The other faction is Guan Wenxue's old subordinates.
Although she had been taken away by the old man after the illness and the incident, the other people's families had some background and were unwilling to be dominated by a country girl from a small place.
They never imagined that after actively applying to go to Jiang County for support for more than half a month, the literary troupe actually listened to Tian Dani's command in everything and did not fall apart because of the lack of a few people.
Therefore, there were great internal differences regarding the performances at this commendation ceremony.
It’s mainly about Fang Yu and Tian Dani competing for the leadership position.
"Ningning, you are finally here."
Jiang Ningning pushed the door open and came in. The enthusiastic Tian Dani took her arm and walked into the practice room.
When other people saw her, their reactions varied.
Especially the people headed by Fang Yu all looked unhappy. Everyone knew that Jiang Ningning was the person in charge of this commendation meeting. Now Tian Dani specially invited her here. If this wasn't support, what else could it be?
Some people worriedly said, "We have worked so hard to rehearse the program, will it be ruined like this?"
"What else?" Another person pouted: "Have you forgotten that we had a conflict with Jiang Ningning because of Wen Xue?"
This group of people felt inexplicably blocked in their hearts, and at the same time they resented Guan Wenxue for using them as a tool in the past.
Jiang Ningning walked to the center of the practice room amidst all kinds of complicated looks, and saw several familiar faces. She nodded politely at them.
The girls sensed her kindness, and their hostility dissipated a lot.
"What do you want to do with me?" she asked.
Tian Dani said, "The cultural troupe has arranged two programs. Both parties will perform once. You decide which one to choose."
Fang Yu and others were very surprised to hear her say this.
I didn't expect that Tian Dani asked Jiang Ningning to come over for fair competition.
"I agree." Fang Yu nodded.
She has been practicing dancing since she was young, and with more than ten years of experience, she is confident that she is no worse than anyone else.
The programs rehearsed by the two sides are different.
One team sings and the other team dances, each has its own advantages and it is hard to tell which one is better.
This is also the point where they have the biggest disagreement.
After everyone finished their performance, they all waited anxiously for Jiang Ningning's choice.
She was surrounded by girls like flowers.
At that moment, Jiang Ningning felt like an emperor choosing a concubine.
She was silent for two seconds and asked, "Why don't you do a song and dance together?"
Everyone in the literary group: Of course they dislike each other.
"We have invited the editor-in-chief and reporters from the Capital Newspaper to this commendation meeting. If you act on impulse again, you will bring shame to the capital."
"On the contrary, if your performance is very successful, it is very likely to be published in the newspaper."
This time, Jiang Ningning did not deliberately give any inspirational speeches. She was simply too busy and tired recently, so she chose the simplest and most brutal way - to bind collective interests together.
The girls didn't have any deep hatred and couldn't bring themselves to lose face.
Now they were given a way out, and one by one they put aside their opinions and started a heated discussion.
As a member of the public, Jiang Ningning was not in a position to participate and quietly left the practice room.
Behind him, Fang Yu quickly chased after him and said, "Secretary Jiang, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you this time."
Jiang Ningning looked at her and said, "If that's what you meant to say, there's no need to come all the way here to apologize."
Fang Yu was stunned, pursed her lips and said, "Wen Xue has returned to the capital. She has done so many wrong things and brought trouble to the family. She has received retribution and was forced by the old man to marry a man in his fifties."
Is this retribution?
Jiang Ningning didn't understand and even found it ridiculous: "Even if it's a marriage for the benefit of the family, Guan Wenxue's husband is also a well-matched person. He will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. How can it be considered retribution for not marrying for love?"
"If one day, you find out that Guan Wenxue has been framing you everywhere, and wants to destroy your family and put you in jail, and you still think it's pitiful that she has lost her love, will you forgive her?"
Fang Yu was choked.
Girls of her age think that love is above everything.
Isn’t it tragic to marry the wrong person?
But she couldn't refute a word Jiang Ningning said and could only watch her leave.
-
After leaving the cultural group, Jiang Ningning went to other departments one after another to coordinate progress and give some encouragement.
By the time everything was finalized, the rest day had unfortunately passed.
The family compound is very lively.
The troops dug up dozens of bamboo rat nests and every household was given two.
Bamboo rats are big and have a lot of meat.
It's delicious whether fried or grilled.
Along the way, many people greeted Jiang Ningning.
Someone else asked, "Secretary Jiang, are there any clothing requirements for the Propaganda Department's job fair the day after tomorrow?"
Jiang Ningning patiently answered: "It's OK to be clean and tidy, it's mainly a test of your writing and publicity skills."
Everyone was thoughtful.
When she finally left the crowd and returned to the family compound, the little kids who usually came to greet her were screaming in the yard.
"Grandpa, you are amazing. You can even make grasshoppers out of grass."
"Wow! Grandpa, you've blown up enemy tanks before."
…
Jiang Ningning:?
She was about to push the door open when Huo Donglin came carrying bamboo rat skins to dry in the sun.
"Is your father Huo Weiguo here?" she asked.
Huo Donglin was in a very complicated mood.
Hearing her voice, Manman rushed over like firecrackers, with a proud expression of "come and praise me" on his face: "Mom, Dad's dad is not a good one, so I found a new dad for Dad!"
Jiang Ningning was silent for a moment, "Son, why don't you tell mom all at once what you did today so that you can be mentally prepared."
Manman was about to speak.
"Ningning, don't blame the child. He just wanted to celebrate your birthday because he saw that you are alone." Old Xue walked over holding Xia Xia.
Xia Xia wrapped her arms around Old Xue's neck, her big eyes smiling like crescent moons, and it was obvious that she liked this grandfather very much.
Children don’t know the seriousness of the matter, and recognizing their relatives is not such a simple matter.
Mr. Xue only said it was his birthday, and he didn't want to embarrass the couple, even though he secretly wanted to take the opportunity to recognize Manman and Xiaxia...
This thoughtfulness made Jiang Ningning feel warm inside, and she raised her red lips, "So today is your birthday? We should celebrate it properly."
Then he turned around and told Huo Donglin, "Go buy some more vegetables and a few more eggs. It would be even better if there were milk and lemons."
It would definitely be too late to make the cake now, and there is no stove.
But you can make soufflé.
With Huo Donglin's muscles, it should be no problem for him to stir the egg whites.
"Mom, can you please invite Goudan over to play? It will be more lively with more people." Manman suddenly asked.
"Go ahead, run slower."
Jiang Ningning obviously underestimated the children's desire to show off.
Manman is at the stage of being amazed at what he sees as "it turns out I'm just like other kids, they have it, and I have it too." He thinks he has the best grandfather in the world and can't help but show off in front of Goudan.
After getting the adults' response, Manman took a quick step and ran to the Wen family.
Before anyone arrived, a joyful voice came in first: "Goudan, it's Grandpa's birthday today, and he invites you to his house to play."
It was a holiday and the adults were at home.
Coincidentally, Sun Xiangqian came to Yu's house to deliver something.
"Why is your grandfather here?" he asked.
"It's not the grandfather from Qu County," Manman said proudly, "It's Grandpa Xue. He is the grandfather now!"
Tomorrow I will ask Heidan’s father to change his surname to Xue to prevent any future troubles!
From now on, I don’t have to call Tian Cuifen grandma anymore, nor do I have to recognize the Huo family’s relatives. No one will know... my mother’s secret anymore.
She clenched her fists tightly, and a hint of determination flashed across her big eyes like black grapes.
-
Train.
"A-choo——"
Tian Cuifen couldn't help sneezing and was forced to take a cold shower in the afternoon, as if she had a cold.
"Mom, please don't sneeze on my face. It's disgusting." Huo Chunfang wiped her face with her sleeve, looking disgusted.
Tian Cuifen glared with her eyes wide open, feeling the fire in her chest rising again.
Huo Jianjun looked at his mother's ferocious face and took two steps back: "Mom, please don't have another attack, or we will all be kicked off the train."
Others did not want to share the same carriage with them and had to pay extra to move to the sleeper car.
“…”
Tian Cuifen felt so aggrieved.
no.
The first thing she did when she arrived at the military region was to ask Jiang Ningning to clear her name - she, Tian Cuifen, was very smart!
