So, after preparing the meal, the three of them sat down at the doorway to eat, and told Wang Xiaorong and the other two about the cultural performance.
It's a bit awkward for three grown men to participate in a singing and dancing competition.
He Wan took her half-eaten meal and ran to the front yard to ask Wang Jianguo what he thought.
Wang Jianguo said, "He Zhiqing, I was just about to call a meeting with them after dinner. I won't be attending. I'll pass this on to anyone who wants to participate, so please sign up."
Since a few of you are going to participate, you can organize it.
"No, Captain, you're the captain of our educated youth settlement. You have to cheer up. Our sky is still beautiful."
Set an example for us and participate.
Zhang Jianjun, who was standing to the side, slurped up a mouthful of noodles and laughed, "That's right, Captain, if you're going, I'll go too."
As he spoke, he nudged Zhang Deping with his elbow, almost spilling the soup in Zhang Deping's bowl. Zhang Deping quickly took a sip and nodded repeatedly, "Agreed, agreed."
While Wang Jianguo hesitated, Liang Shurui called over Qin Xuxiang and his wife, as well as Chen Qing.
Wang Xiaorong and two others followed behind, and Xue Zhenzhen and the others also came over.
Once everyone had arrived, Wang Jianguo explained the commune's notice from that day.
Qin Xuxiang smiled and shook his head, supporting Xie Meihui as he said, "We won't be participating in this event. I haven't told you yet, Meihui is pregnant."
Upon hearing this, the male educated youth quickly offered their congratulations with smiles.
The female educated youth, however, gave an awkward laugh, and no one said anything, including Chen Qing.
This made Xie Meihui feel embarrassed.
Wang Xiaorong, Li Zheng, and Li Chunsheng were initially reluctant, but now that everyone else has participated, they have all signed up.
Liang Shurui glanced at Chen Qing again, and seeing that Chen Qing didn't move, he didn't move either.
Zhang Jianjun was fairly familiar with the two of them, and asked, "Liang, Chen, are you the only two left?"
Chen Qing shook her head: "I still have to take care of the chickens and ducks, I can't leave."
After saying that, he turned to look at Liang Shurui, who immediately exclaimed "Ah!" and rubbed his hands on his knees, saying, "The number of chickens, ducks, and geese has increased a lot this year, and the two of us really can't leave. The hens are brooding these days, so they need to be cared for even more. Therefore, the two of us won't be participating."
Zhang Jianjun felt that things would be more complete if everyone worked together, so he advised, "Everyone goes to work as usual during the day, so let's practice for a while at night."
"No, thank you."
Zhang Jianjun wanted to say something, but was nudged by Zhang Deping who was standing next to him.
Finally, apart from Qin Xuxiang and Liang Shurui's teams, everyone else at the educated youth settlement participated.
He Wan knew Chen Qing's nature; she just didn't want to be with them since they had all participated, and she didn't think they could perform well either.
However, she actually thought of this. After the participants were confirmed, the question of whether to sing or dance stumped everyone.
Su Ranran only learned a few dances at school; she didn't know any others.
As for singing, the men could only sing revolutionary songs, and their voices... well, let's just say they were terrible.
Xue Zhenzhen, however, amazed everyone after singing a few lines: "Xue Zhiqing, you even have a beautiful accent when you sing this song! It's so beautiful, how come we've never seen you sing before?"
"What is an American accent? I don't know. These are all natural traits of mine. Before I came to the countryside, I loved to sing. But after I came here, I worked all day and looked for food. I didn't have time to sing. Even if I did sing, it was always in secret."
He Wan immediately had an idea: "If you trust me, I'll plan it for us."
Wang Jianguo nodded. Although he was the team leader, he knew nothing about arts and culture and had to rely on the female comrades.
The others nodded in agreement; they didn't know whether to sing or dance.
He Wan has worked in the entertainment industry before and has seen many songs and dances.
After returning from the front yard, she had a general idea in mind. She entered the space, went to the basement, and used her phone to search online for poems and songs about educated youth.
