Jiang Pei swayed her slender waist and danced a folk dance on stage, drawing continuous applause and shouts from the audience, earning her a lot of face.
She danced on stage, completely forgetting about Jiang Ting's death, and felt incredibly happy.
Having resolved the biggest crisis in the family, it's time to celebrate!
Then came the game interaction segment.
Jiang Pei stood on the stage, holding the cardboard box containing the lottery results.
She already knew how many military wives had come today and what their names were.
So they did their homework on the role.
"As the city lights begin to twinkle, we gather here today to celebrate this joyous New Year with our grassroots soldiers, a day for family reunion."
We've specially included interactive segments in the program for this party to give everyone a greater sense of participation and allow everyone to enjoy the fun together.
This segment involves inviting military spouses to perform a program on stage by drawing lots.
Then, a slip of paper was drawn, and the content written on it had to be acted out by us military spouses. If we couldn't act it out, we had to drink a glass of wine as a penalty.
The soldiers found the activity novel and exciting, as they had never done it before, and they all cheered.
The cheers that echoed throughout the auditorium made Jiang Pei extremely proud.
Lu Zhenhua also found it very interesting.
"Jiang Pei is quite good at livening up the atmosphere. She can actually come up with these interesting little programs. That's really good."
Jiang Pei glanced at the table where the military wives were sitting, and continued:
"Now I will help all the military wives draw lots. Let's start with Sister Liu Cuiyun."
She reached into the box, took out a slip of paper, unfolded it, and said:
"Please, Sister-in-law Liu Cuiyun, sing a folk song from our hometown."
Liu Cuiyun was a little shy, but in order not to embarrass her husband, she still gritted her teeth and went on stage.
"Soldiers, my hometown is Hebei. Today I will make a fool of myself and perform a piece of Hebei Bangzi for you."
"good!!!!!"
"Go, Sister Cuiyun!"
The soldiers below clapped and shouted, and Xia Enruo also clapped and cheered.
Hearing my mother-in-law's words, I felt deeply remorseful.
I regret that I spoke ill of others and that it was unreasonable.
I beg my mother-in-law to forgive my sins.
Please forgive Dou E this time.
You suffered so much to save the child.
Bankrupt and homeless
The elderly and frail are prone to misfortune.
Loneliness and desolation are truly pitiful.
........................”
Liu Cuiyun's rendition of "The Tragedy of Dou E" impressed everyone, even though her Mandarin was not good and she sang pop songs off-key.
But he is very good at singing local operas in his hometown dialect.
After their performance, they were truly outstanding.
Even Lu Zhenhua eventually stood up and applauded.
Liu Cuiyun stepped off the stage, her face flushed; she was still somewhat nervous.
"Sister-in-law, I never knew you had this talent. You sing so well."
Xia Enruo spoke words of praise.
"Xia, I just happened to be lucky and drew a local opera. When I was little, I always hummed Hebei Bangzi with my mom and grandma. Back then, people in the village would sing this whenever there was a happy occasion."
Gradually, I'll learn a few myself. But if it's a different program, I definitely won't be able to perform it; I'll just be able to drink.
Jiang Pei came out carrying a cardboard box; this time, she was there to draw lots for Ge Qiuqin.
"Sister-in-law Ge Qiuqin, the lot you drew is to perform a folk dance."
"Sister-in-law Qiuqin, come on up. I've prepared a handkerchief for you."
Jiang Pei knew that Ge Qiuqin definitely wouldn't perform Errenzhuan (a traditional folk art form), because her hometown wasn't in Northeast China at all.
Ge Qiuqin was at a loss. She had no idea how to do this, so she simply gave up and said she wanted to drink.
The young soldiers brought over the liquor that Jiang Pei had prepared.
Jiang Pei specially prepared high-proof liquor; after one glass, someone with a low alcohol tolerance would probably be unable to lift their head.
When Ge Qiuqin saw how big the cup was, she felt a chill run down her spine.
But with everyone in the auditorium making a fuss, she couldn't spoil their fun.
He gritted his teeth, picked up the cup, and drank it down.
But the alcohol content was too high, and she couldn't stand it after drinking half of it, so she sprayed it out and spilled it on the ground.
The soldiers laughed heartily and clapped happily when they saw her make a fool of herself.
I never expected this show to be so lively!
Zhang Xin felt disgusted when he saw her like that.
"As expected of a peasant who can't stand up to the occasion, all he does is embarrass himself, even spitting out his drink. Forgot to leave his mother and five children at home, they'll only make a fool of themselves if brought to the army."
Jiang Pei's lips curled up slightly when she saw Ge Qiuqin's comical appearance.
She went to the distillery specifically to get the highest concentration of baijiu, and after just a small sip, her throat felt like it was on fire, burning intensely.
These silly old women, no matter how much they can drink, can't handle such strong liquor.
Besides, Ge Qiuqin had humiliated him at the department store, so making her look foolish in front of the entire army today was a form of revenge.
"Hahaha, what a joke! Serves you right! You'll drink yourself to death."
Ge Qiuqin's face immediately turned red after drinking. She didn't know the wine was so strong, even though she had a pretty good tolerance for alcohol.
But this liquor is really hard to swallow today!
Xia Enruo picked up a tissue and helped Ge Qiuqin wipe her face. She didn't know why Ge Qiuqin couldn't even drink a cup of wine today.
Although it was only a small glass, she used to have a high alcohol tolerance.
"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
"Xia, this liquor is too strong. It's really making me a little tipsy."
Ge Qiuqin suddenly felt dizzy and her whole body was burning up.
But the party was still going on, and she couldn't just leave, so she simply sat in her seat and closed her eyes.
Otherwise, you really would fall under the table.
Jiang Pei continued drawing lots on stage, and the next one was Xia Enruo.
She had already prepared the slips of paper in her hand, and pretended to reach into the box to draw lots.
"Next up is Sister-in-law Xia Enruo's program. Let's see what the draw results are."
Alright, let's invite Sister-in-law Xia Enruo to sing a military song and dance!
The soldiers immediately applauded when they heard the military songs being sung. As soldiers, who doesn't know how to sing military songs? Moreover, many military wives can sing military songs, which is of great significance to the soldiers.
Xia Enruo was somewhat surprised that she actually had two shows.
If you don't sing the military songs well, you'll not only lose face for yourself, but also for Gu Shaoxuan.
The chief of staff's wife can't even sing military songs, which shows that she doesn't care about military affairs and doesn't support the development of the military.
She had to go on stage for the show. If she drank alcohol, it would not only spoil everyone's fun, but also give people something to talk about, and Gu Shaoxuan would lose all face among the group leaders.
If you only sing and don't dance, you not only have to perform, but you also have to drink alcohol.
The contents of this note are really tricky; no matter what you do, it's not right.
Xia Enruo had never learned military songs, and in her previous life, she had never ordered this type of song when she went to karaoke.
At this moment, all the soldiers in the auditorium stared at her. Even Lu Zhenhua was looking forward to her performance. She sang so well last time, so she was sure she would do well this time too.
