"Hahahahaha," Gu Bei was sent by his mother to pick up Lin Wanwan, and he happened to witness this scene.
"What are you guys doing, pretending to be artsy young women?"
"Hahahaha, you guessed it! How well did I look?" Lin Wanwan asked with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all.
"It looks just like it, it really does, hahahahaha."
"Have you laughed enough? You'll get paid after the show."
"Are you obsessed with money? Hurry up and get out of here, Mom's waiting at home. You're working overtime on your first day?"
Lin Wanwan shrugged and said, "There's nothing we can do. Talented people are everywhere. The task is arduous and the road is long, so the capable should do more."
Gu Beiqu flicked her forehead and said, "Stop joking around, let's go home, you artsy young lady."
Lu Feng led her back, asking, "How's work?"
"It's alright. It's just an old man and me, and there's no one else around, so it's quite nice."
The next day at work, Lin Wanwan handed the report she had worked on overnight to Qian Senlin, saying, "Director, the report is finished. Please take a look."
Qian Senlin looked at the report in front of him and asked her, "So efficient?"
"Of course, if I can finish my work efficiently and quickly, then I can read books."
At 3 p.m. that day, a pleasant female voice broadcast a funny and interesting news segment on the radio station, and at the end, she invited listeners to tune in at the same time the next day.
At 7:30 p.m., Lin Wanwan took the prepared script and began to read the news.
His pronunciation was clearer and more fluent than in the afternoon, and his voice was neutral, neither too soft nor too harsh. It was very standard Mandarin, without any accent.
At 7:30, many people in the residential compound had just sat down to eat when they heard today's broadcast and were taken aback. The broadcast lasted for half an hour, and many people listened attentively. Even the children were imitating the people on the broadcast.
Lu Feng was also taken aback. This broadcast was very professional. It couldn't compare to the professionalism of TV news anchors, but it was quite good for an amateur.
Lin Wanwan came out of the broadcasting studio. "Let's go home. Tuanzi is waiting for us!"
Lu Feng took her hand and asked, "Have you studied this before? Your broadcasting is very professional."
"I didn't learn it by studying. I learned it from news anchors on TV and from the radio."
"With your qualifications, have you ever considered becoming a news anchor?"
"I've thought about it, otherwise why would I imitate a news anchor on TV? But compared to a news anchor, I'd rather become a diplomat. I originally wanted to study English, but after thinking about it, my spoken English seems pretty good, so I might as well study something else. I've also considered economics, but I seem to be more interested in law."
"The legal field is still relatively weak, so studying law might not be a good option."
“I know that some paths are destined to be complete and solid only through sacrifice, and I am willing to be that precedent and sacrifice.”
"It'll be tough, are you scared?"
Lin Wanwan didn't answer his question directly. "What year did you join the army? 1967? You participated in the war, right? You served in all sorts of missions, big and small, right? Aren't you afraid?"
"I was scared. I was really scared the first time."
“You were afraid, but you still went to protect your country. So did I. You joined the war to defend your home and country, and so did I. We just used different methods. Whether you study medicine or martial arts, you can still defend your country. We just use different methods. We are both loving this country in our own way.”
Qian Senlin walked behind Lin Wanwan and Lu Feng without saying a word, listening quietly to what she had to say. He was filled with mixed emotions. He had originally come to check on Lin Wanwan because he was worried about her working overtime alone.
"You are just greater, guarding the border, enduring loneliness, and leaving your hometown. There is a very sentimental saying: there is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you."
"Lu Feng, you are all people who bear the burden for us. It is because of soldiers like you that we have peace and happiness. Thank you, Lu Feng. You have a great profession that makes me proud."
Lu Feng suddenly tightened his grip on Lin Wanwan's hand, causing her a slight pain, but she didn't pull away.
Lu Feng remained silent for a few minutes, then loosened his grip. "Thank you, thank you for understanding and supporting me so much. I'm really lucky to have met you and married you."
"Then you'd better cherish me, I'm also very outstanding."
Lu Feng looked down at her. The dim yellow light from the roadside lamps shone through the dappled gaps in the trees, casting wisps of light on him. Even the simple wooden hairpin in his hair seemed to become precious. In a daze, Lu Feng felt as if he had returned to the morning when he went to propose to his mother.
Lin Wanwan stood there making tea, the sunlight streaming through the window and bathing her in its glow. She seemed to radiate light; that day, she was stunningly beautiful and unforgettable.
Today, she has lost some of her breathtaking beauty, but what remains is the infinite beauty of time. Lu Feng thought that he must hold her hand like this and walk with her for many, many years, until the end of time.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Wanwan turned her head to look at what he was looking at, only to find that Lu Feng's eyes were so tender they seemed to be dripping with water.
"What are you doing, Lu Feng? Your gaze is so cheesy."
Lu Feng chuckled, "What you said was also quite cheesy, but you can continue to say it next time. I don't mind."
When Lin Wanwan and Lu Feng returned home hand in hand, the living room was full of people. For a moment, Lin Wanwan thought she had entered the wrong house.
"Is it a big meeting? Why is everyone here?"
The Gu family and Li Mei's family were sitting in the living room with their children. Xu Zhang waved to her, "Come and sit down. Li Mei came because she heard the broadcast. You had just left when we arrived."
Li Mei smiled and said, "I guess everyone in the compound will be talking about the new broadcaster tonight. Luckily, I didn't force you to stay at the Women's Federation; that would have been a waste of your talent."
"Hey, Sister Mei, are you implying that I'm not doing a good job at the Women's Federation?"
"I didn't say that. You're so sharp-tongued, I can't argue with you."
"Mom, it's so late, why are you coming over? I'll only be here for half an hour and then I'll be back."
“You’re our family’s darling. Your parents said they wanted to come and cheer you on after dinner, because they were worried you’d be nervous. But I saw you were much more relaxed tonight than you were this afternoon, and you were really professional.”
"Don't flatter me. I don't have any professional background. I'm just imitating others, trying to learn how to be a TV anchor."
Xu Zhang held her hand with a look of satisfaction, "Grandpa would be very pleased if he heard this. You wrote the manuscript yourself?"
"Yes, I wrote the draft myself. There's only me and that old man in our department, so I had to write it myself. I'll just treat it as practice."
Gu Changfeng nodded with satisfaction, "Keep up the good work. You're very suitable for the radio station, you're very capable."
Lin Wanwan felt a little embarrassed by their praise. "Don't praise me anymore, I'll become arrogant. By the way, Uncle Gu, do you need me to do a bilingual announcement?"
Seeing her sly smile, Gu Changfeng chuckled and said, "Bilingual broadcasting is unnecessary. Although things aren't as good as they were a few years ago, it's still better to be careful."
Lin Wanwan said with a regretful look, "Oh, I was thinking of practicing my spoken English."
