Xia Enruo took the microphone and said:
"Host, don't be in such a hurry. I haven't even performed yet and you're already asking me to drink. How do you know that my performance doesn't match the lottery results?"
To judge solely based on the repertoire performed seems far too hasty.
Jiang Pei thought to herself, "You're just being stubborn. What kind of monsters and demons are you putting on? A daughter's journey through wind and rain? Aren't you afraid of getting soaked halfway there?"
Okay, if you want to perform, then go ahead and perform. Let's see what kind of tricks you can come up with!
"Since Sister-in-law Xia Enruo insists on completing the prepared program, let's wait and see if the content complies with the game rules!"
Sister-in-law, what were you going to perform again?
Xia Enruo turned around, smiled, looked into Jiang Pei's eyes, and said each word clearly:
"Then you'd better remember this time, the songs I'll be singing are 'A Daughter's Journey Through Wind and Rain' and 'Happy Chinese New Year'!"
Jiang Pei sneered. What a load of rubbish! It's so awful!
Turning his head, he smiled and shouted to his comrades below the stage:
"Please enjoy the songs 'Daughter's Journey Through Wind and Rain' and 'Happy Chinese New Year'."
The audience was completely silent, their eyes wide as they stared at Xia Enruo, who stood in the center of the stage.
Nobody has heard these two songs before, let alone knows how to sing them or whether they are good or not.
Xia Enruo cleared her throat, took the microphone, looked at the female soldiers below the stage, and spoke.
"Today, on this joyous occasion for families, we gather together. We know that the military not only boasts the bravery and skill of male soldiers, but also the remarkable spirit of female soldiers."
The first song I want to dedicate is to my female comrades in the auditorium. For the greater good, we women sacrifice our own families; we women comrades can hold up half the sky!
"Okay! Okay!"
The female soldiers cheered when they heard Xia Enruo's inspiring words. Some male soldiers even joined in.
Xia Enru signaled to the band to begin, and a melodious and gentle singing voice slowly began to play. The crowd in the auditorium fell silent, appreciating the tune they had never heard before.
"On this path, one must climb the horse and bend the bow."
My head rests on the moon over the nine provinces, my feet on the stars of the sky.
Endure hardship without complaining, feel pain without speaking of it.
The sweat in public and the tears in private, all are packed into the travel bag.
The wind blows, the rain falls, and the daughter walks.
Spring is beautiful, autumn is charming.
A smile makes a hundred flowers bloom.
...............................”
She spoke with great emotion on stage, moving around as she went; her stage presence was fantastic.
The female soldiers listened quietly, tears welling up in their eyes. This was a song praising female soldiers, its gentle melody conveying their unwavering perseverance and indomitable spirit in sacrificing their families for their country.
As Lu Zhenhua listened, he calmed down. He had never heard these lyrics and this melody before.
I never expected it to sound so beautiful and harmonious, stirring up the softest part of my heart.
I never would have guessed that Xia Enruo was so talented, able to sing such beautiful songs.
Gu Shaoxuan stared at his wife, his eyes following her steps back and forth. He never imagined that Xia Enruo would actually sing a military song, especially one he had never heard before.
Furthermore, the song doesn't mention the word "soldier" at all, yet every line expresses the spirit of soldiers protecting their country. It's truly brilliant and wonderful.
Xia Enruo is like a treasure chest, always bringing herself endless surprises.
The musicians in the cultural troupe never expected that the sheet music Xia Enruo brought could be performed into such a beautiful melody; such military songs truly broadened their horizons.
Sister-in-law Enruo is truly talented. She can write such wonderful lyrics and music. She is even more professional than professional singers. No one in the entire group can compare to her.
After Xia Enruo finished singing her last song, a thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Tears welled in the eyes of his comrades, all of them deeply immersed in this unwavering bond.
The female soldiers stood up excitedly and applauded.
"Sister-in-law Enruo, you are amazing! She sings so well. This song is so beautiful. I must learn it."
"Yes, I want to learn it too. It's so beautiful, it made me cry."
"I never expected that Chief of Staff Gu's wife would be so talented and beautiful, with an exceptionally beautiful face and a wonderful singing voice."
The female company commander of the communications company stood up from her seat and ran to Lu Zhenhua's side.
"Report, Commander! On behalf of all the female soldiers in the communications company, I would like to express our New Year's wishes to you. We female soldiers really like the song sung by Sister Xia Enruo. We are all greatly inspired after listening to this song."
We female soldiers all hope to learn to sing "Daughters' Love in the Storm," and we hope you can approve it so that Sister-in-law Xia Enruo can teach us!
Lu Zhenhua stood up, his eyes resolute yet filled with tears. He clenched his fists, thinking to himself that Gu Shaoxuan's family had truly brought honor to the regimental leadership.
What is the significance of the military holding a grand celebration? It is to relieve our soldiers' homesickness, boost morale, and enable them to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the cause of the socialist army and defend our country.
I never imagined that a moving song could have such a powerful effect; it's truly outstanding.
"Okay! I promise you, I guarantee that all the female soldiers in the regiment will be able to sing this song, and I'll have Chief of Staff Gu's family teach them properly."
After listening to Lu Zhenhua's words, Yuan Qiang walked over to Gu Shaoxuan and patted him on the shoulder.
"Old Gu, your wife is really amazing! Did you hear what Commander Lu said? She really brings honor to the army; her performance has made her famous throughout the entire army."
From now on, you'll definitely be a key figure being watched by the higher-ups.
Gu Shaoxuan was extremely excited at this moment. His wife was amazing. She was never shy anywhere and could handle anything.
