"It's a good thing you told me beforehand, otherwise the surprise would have turned into a shock."
After the two of them finished getting ready, they went back to bed.
Jiang Wenwan nestled in Zhou Yunting's arms, resting her head on his arm, and said:
What songs are on the cassette tapes you bought today?
This question really stumped Zhou Yunting.
"I don't really know what songs they are."
Jiang Wenwan climbed out of his arms.
"No, I'll take the recorder into the space and listen to it."
Zhou Yunting was speechless.
What are you doing so late at night?
Jiang Wenwan rolled her eyes at him.
"You don't understand. What I mean is 'prepare the supplies before the troops move.'"
Zhou Yunting shook his head; he truly didn't understand.
"It's so late, let's go to sleep first. We have plenty of time tomorrow."
Go to sleep by yourself!
There is time tomorrow, but Aunt Jiang will definitely come over tomorrow to find someone to practice the chorus.
Otherwise, how could I go and sing without ever practicing?
As she spoke, she picked up the tape recorder and cassette tape and ran into the space.
Unfortunately, neither of them could enter other people's spaces, so he couldn't enter Jiang Wenwan's space to be with her.
It wasn't until after 11 o'clock that Jiang Wenwan came out of the space and saw that he was still awake, tuning the radio.
"You're tuning the radio so late at night, aren't you afraid of disturbing other people's sleep?"
"Time to sleep!"
"It's still more comfortable to sleep with my wife in my arms."
Jiang Wenwan snuggled back into his arms, resting her head on his arm.
"Aren't you afraid your arm will be numb when you wake up tomorrow morning?"
"I'm not afraid! I'm willing."
The next morning, Aunt Jiang came to find her very early.
Watching them eat salted fish with corn porridge, I reached out and fanned my nose.
What's this smell like?
Hey, Jiang Meizi, I've come to talk to you.
We're going to have a big chorus, and we'll sing "Defend the Yellow River".
We've sung this together before, so we're pretty familiar with each other.
But since you're new here, let's practice together for one day.
"We have to perform on stage tomorrow, so we need to make the most of today."
Jiang Wenwan only ate one bowl of rice; she usually eats two.
He paused for a moment with the empty bowl, then filled it with another.
"Okay, Auntie. I'll go after I finish breakfast. Where shall we practice?"
Aunt Jiang clicked her tongue as she saw her fill another bowl: "This Zhou Ying's wife can really eat."
"It's at Su Meimei's house. Um, why don't you go over there after you've finished eating?"
Jiang Wenwan nodded; she needed to eat her fill before she could go.
Don't be fooled by the fact that practicing singing doesn't require much physical effort; you just need to stand there and open your mouth to sing.
That also requires physical strength.
After she finished eating, she went to Sister Su's house. There were already many military wives waiting in her yard.
She had already heard them singing when she first arrived.
The lyrics of this song are quite easy to remember.
When they saw Jiang Wenwan coming over, Sister-in-law Qi and Sister-in-law Su waved to her.
"Girl Jiang, come here quickly, I'll save you a seat here."
"Some people are good-looking, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can sing well."
Let's hope he's tone-deaf, or he'll lead us all astray.
"Then our military wives will become a laughing stock again."
Jiang Wenwan turned to look at the person who spoke.
As expected, it was Aunt Wang. It's no surprise that she harbors resentment towards Jiang Wenwan.
Sister-in-law Su was the first to speak up for her.
"Aunt Wang, how can you talk like that?"
You don't even know how well Jiang Meizi sings, yet you say that."
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes.
"What's wrong with what I said? Is there a problem?"
As you said, I don't even know if she sings well or not, how would I know if she's off-key?
What if I sing off-key?
Jiang Wenwan smiled.
"Then I'm really sorry to disappoint you, Aunt Wang. I can sing in tune."
It's actually somewhat pleasant to listen to.
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes at her for praising herself like that.
Impatient urging.
"Then let's hurry up and practice a few more times."
Anyway, we've been singing this song for years, we're all very familiar with it, so we can't go wrong no matter how we sing it.
Aunt Jiang knew that Aunt Wang and Jiang Wenwan didn't get along, and she didn't want to find her, but Aunt Wang was the best singer in the whole residential compound.
Without her, I'm really afraid that everyone will go off-key again, just like the year before last.
That's not going up to perform, that's going up to make a fool of yourself!
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and practice, wait a minute."
By the way, didn't Jiang Meizi say that she never sings off-key?
Let her sing it herself and let us hear if she really doesn't sing off-key.
Don't try to fool us now. When the time comes, if you get nervous and sing too loudly, you'll drag us down with you.
Jiang Wenwan was speechless. Why blame others when you lack self-control yourself?
Isn't it just that they want me to sing?
Then she'll sing it for her.
Thankfully, I caught up on the song "Defend the Yellow River" last night.
Singing it again today would be no problem at all.
Jiang Wenwan not only learned this song, but also another one.
When Aunt Wang said she wanted to sing, she immediately started singing.
"The wind is howling, the horses are neighing, the Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring..."
She sang the song perfectly, without going off-key, and it sounded really good.
Aunt Jiang's eyes lit up when she heard her sing.
"Jiang Meizi, I never knew you could sing so well!"
Jiang Wenwan smiled.
"I just improvised, so please bear with it!"
"You're so modest. You sing better than anyone else in our residential compound."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang's face immediately darkened and she urged him on.
