The selection of candidates for the National Arts Festival has come to an end. All the qualified personnel must report to the General Political Department for unified training arrangements, and return to their original units after the festival.
The people selected this time are all elites from each regiment, and they all hold important positions in the regiment. The General Political Department gave them a day's buffer time, allowing them to go back and arrange their work before sending them out.
When Li Zhen and the others returned to the regiment, it was already dark, so Political Commissar Zheng asked them to go back and rest first. He would inform them of the good news of their selection tomorrow.
On the way back this time, Li Zhen looked shocked on the surface, but she was actually very excited inside. As soon as the leader left, she was completely stunned and hugged Su Xiangqin and cheered loudly.
Su Xiangqin rarely showed a happy smile, and walked with her head lowered as usual with inferiority complex.
Political Commissar Zheng did not walk far. When he heard their joyful voices, a smile also appeared on his face. He was proud of them. However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned around and walked towards the military district family compound.
On summer nights, the heat is still lingering, the ceiling fans are whirring, and the breeze they blow is warm.
In order to get first-hand information, those who usually get along well with Liu Huixin come to visit her dormitory.
Under the dim light, several girls sat together. Zhu Xiaomeng glanced at Shen Nanqing who was lying on the bed and fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, and whispered to the people around her, "Guess who among them was selected?"
"Li Zhen and Xu Ruyan," someone replied.
Someone immediately agreed after hearing this, and Jian Yan said with certainty: "I think Xu Ruyan has a better chance. After all, Song Tuan has praised her."
Liu Huixin is Li Zhen's follower. Although she is optimistic about Li Zhen in her heart, she still speaks well of Li Zhen.
Everyone was talking at once, chattering and analyzing the matter in great detail. Zhu Xiaomeng nudged the person next to her with her elbow and raised her chin in the direction of Shen Nanqing.
This person is from the next dormitory. She can dance and play musical instruments such as the accordion. "Shen Nanqing, you are a professional dancer. Among the three of them, who do you think has the best chance?"
"We'll know when they come back and ask." Shen Nanqing waved the fan rhythmically, missing the days of air conditioning.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
They were chatting animatedly when Li Zhen and her friends came back.
Zhu Xiaomeng hurried over to greet him. Seeing Li Zhen smiling, she flattered him, "I calculated with my fingers, and I think you will win the first battle."
"You still have to ask, who am I? I'm Li Zhen." Li Zhen patted his chest and said proudly, his eyes fell on Xu Ruyan at the door, and added, "This time our group is proud, four of us entered the top three, and Deputy Group Leader Zhong of the General Political Department praised us highly."
"Wow! That's amazing." Everyone looked envious when they heard her say that. This would help her become familiar to the leaders of the General Political Department, and naturally there would be more opportunities in the future.
Li Zhen was in a rare good temper and answered every question. Su Xiangqin returned to her old self, hanging her head and keeping silent.
Seeing her like this, the girl playing the accordion said to her in a gentle voice, "Xiangqin, it doesn't matter if you weren't selected. It's already great that you passed the preliminary exam."
Su Xiangqin: “…”
Four entered the top three, and everyone naturally put the latecomer, the wildly grown Su Xiangqin, in the list. They never thought that the one who was eliminated might be Li An or Xu Ruyan.
Maybe this is the stereotype!
There is a chain of contempt in the group: those who graduated from regular colleges look down on those who graduated from ordinary schools, and those who graduated from ordinary schools look down on those who graduated from rural schools.
Seeing this, Li Zhen wanted to explain for her, but was interrupted by another girl.
This person was the one who was very optimistic about Xu Ruyan. Jian Yan and Xu Ruyan had a good relationship. Seeing Xu Ruyan at the door, she smiled and said, "Ruyan, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in!"
Xu Ruyan was in a bad mood, but her image of being indifferent to fame and fortune made her hysterical.
Jian Yan held Xu Ruyan's arm affectionately and said, "I knew you could do it. You must perform well in the General Political Department this time. You will definitely be promoted after the mission is completed."
If it were in the past, Xu Ruyan would be secretly happy to be sought after by others, but at this moment she really wanted the person in front of her to disappear immediately.
Li Zhen had the words on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back, as if she was watching a play. Seeing them constantly flattering Xu Ruyan, Xu Ruyan had no choice but to complain.
After a long time, those who came to join in the fun left reluctantly. Xu Ruyan's face was gloomy and dripping with water. Her cold eyes swept across the smiling Li Zhen, and then she glared at Shen Nanqing who was leaning against the head of the bed with resentment.
Xu Ruyan's eyes were like a poisonous snake spitting out its venom, sticky and vicious. Shen Nanqing raised his eyes to look at her, his lips curled slightly, his expression was as calm as water, calm and composed, and his slender wrist fanned from time to time.
Finally, Xu Ruyan was defeated and she turned around and walked out of the dormitory.
“Hahaha!” Li Zhen laughed so hard that she fell backwards, shouting, “It feels so good. It feels so good. I’d better make her die of rage.”
Zhu Xiaomeng and Liu Huixin looked at each other, confused and not knowing what was going on.
"Nanqing, thank you." Su Xiangqin expressed her sincere gratitude.
"Um...thank you." Li Zhen stopped laughing and spoke haltingly. Finally, he whispered, "I, Li Zhen, owe you a favor."
Zhu Xiaomeng: Li Zhen must be so happy that her brain has gone mad!
Liu Huixin: The sun was rising from the west, and she actually said thank you.
Both of them: 놊Yes, why did she thank Shen Nanqing? What exactly happened?
Family compound.
"Uncle, look at me wearing this wooden toy on my waist, I look so cool." Yu Zian loved his new toy so much that he would play with it for a while every day.
The little guy was swaying around with his pants on, and the elastic band around his waist couldn't hold up at all. His pants slowly slid down, revealing half of his butt.
"Arrogant." Song Huaiwen lied with his eyes open in order to spoil the little guy's fun.
Song Huaizhi came from the kitchen with a sliced watermelon. Seeing this, she slapped him in the face and said, "What are you so proud of? Your dick is almost coming out, and you still want to pull up your pants."
Yu Zian pouted and replied with a convinced look on his face, "Mom, you know what I mean. I'm in a war. My pants will swing when I charge, so I don't have time to pull them up! If I pull up my pants, the enemy will run away!"
After hearing this, Song Huaizhi was slightly stunned, with a smile on her face: "Yes, your mother understands, then don't eat the watermelon I bought."
Watermelon is a rare commodity at this time of year and can only be eaten a few times a year.
"No! You can fight a good battle only when you are full." Yu Zian hurriedly pulled up his pants and ran to the dining table. He reached out and picked up a piece of watermelon, but he did not eat it himself. Instead, he handed it to Song Huaiwen first, then to his sister, and finally he started to eat it himself.
Song Huaizhi was relieved but also a little jealous, "I worked so hard to cut the watermelon, why are you the only one who brings me a piece?"
"Oh, I just want to help you try something sweet." He blinked his eyes and spoke unclearly.
"You're just sweet-talking."
Yu Hongfang worked overtime today and had not returned yet. Song Huaizhi left some watermelon for him. The family sat together, eating watermelon with laughter and joy, when there was a knock on the door.
Song Huaiwen went to open the door first. He thought it was his sister who came back, but he didn't recognize the person in front of him.
Zheng Zheng looked at the tall and strong man in front of him. He was stunned at first, but soon realized, "I have something to ask your sister."
The fragrance of watermelon hit his nose as he entered the door, but he had no appetite at all, "Old Song, I'm afraid our group will have to keep Shen Nanqing."
