A little after nine.
The soldiers lined up in a row, walked in unison from a distance, and sat down in turn opposite the stage.
A group of military dependents are in the small area on the far right of the stage.
The first and second rows in front and the large area on the left are where the leaders and officers sit.
Looking at the approaching soldiers, He Hongxiu and her companions were very calm. They had seen such scenes many times.
The children were very curious.
Jiang Yan also watched curiously, feeling deeply moved.
Military uniforms keep people healthy.
At a glance, each of these warriors is good-looking and really pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Yan also saw a few good-looking young soldiers in the crowd, who could be considered handsome and elegant. Of course, they were definitely inferior to Lu Yunsheng.
Zheng Peirong was also scanning the crowd. Seeing her like this, Ye Fengjiao suddenly became curious and asked in a low voice, "Zheng Peirong, how was your blind date?"
Zheng Peirong glanced at her and asked, "How do you know?"
Ye Fengjiao smiled complacently. There was no news in the family compound that she didn't know. "How is your blind date?"
Zheng Peirong shook his head and didn't say much to Ye Fengjiao. If Ye Fengjiao really knew about it, it would spread throughout the entire compound by tomorrow.
The soldiers sat down one by one in the designated area, their backs straight, their eyes looking curiously at the stage in front of them.
After a while, Jiang Manfu looked around and wanted to say something, but a leader was coming to inspect today, so he couldn't whisper.
The comrades next to him also smacked their lips secretly, holding back and not saying anything.
Not long after, a group of regiment leaders came over with the chief and sat down in the front seat.
Ten o'clock.
There was thunderous applause at the scene. Everyone was very excited. Jiang Yan was also infected by the atmosphere and started to applaud.
The opening speech was made by the leader, and Lu Shouhai spoke on behalf of the Second Regiment.
Mainly say some festive words that fit today's occasion, then thank the soldiers for their hard work and look forward to the future.
Lu Shouhai knew that everyone didn't like to listen to long speeches, so he didn't speak for long and just went through the motions symbolically.
The show has begun.
The show opened with a red song "My Motherland", followed by "Singing Our People's Liberation Army", and then various songs, short songs and dances, model operas, and excerpts, such as "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", "Asking about the Hardships in the Mountains", and so on.
This time, the artists of the art troupe put in their best efforts. They were full of energy and high spirits. They had never worked so hard before.
no way.
Our sponsor has given us so much, we have to work hard. The art troupe is looking forward to performing again.
Jiang Yan had never seen such a performance and found it quite interesting.
I have to admit that the strength of the art troupe should not be underestimated. Although she cannot appreciate model operas and excerpts, her singing is really good.
Moreover, Jiang Yan had heard these popular songs when she was a child and could even hum along. Suddenly, she felt that she was not far away from this era.
The performance lasted two hours in total, from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock, which was just the right time for me to go to the cafeteria for lunch. The afternoon performance started at 2:30 and ended at 4:30.
The two and a half hours at noon are reserved for the art troupe to eat and rest so that they can be energetic for performances in the afternoon.
Of course, the performance is important, but the lunch is the real highlight of the day.
Before the performance was over, the aroma of food from the cafeteria wafted over, the smell of fried dishes mixed with oil made one's mouth water.
Everyone swallowed, couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, and began to look forward to it.
Sheng Anjun, the brother next to Lala, whispered, "Brother, it smells so good. I'm hungry."
Rubbing his brother's head, Sheng Anhe stuffed a candy into his brother's mouth. This was the candy that Jiang Yan asked his sister to bring to him that day, and he had never been willing to eat it.
While eating the sweet candy, Sheng Anjun's eyes lit up. He covered his mouth and slowly held it, feeling very happy.
My brother is the best.
The fragrance wafted in from time to time on the wind. Although everyone was sitting quietly, their hearts had already flown to the cafeteria.
The last performance was still singing. The morning performance ended with the host’s passionate words.
Lu Shouhai invited a group of leaders to the cafeteria for lunch. A group of military dependents and soldiers also took their lunch boxes and walked towards the cafeteria one after another.
There are many varieties of dishes today. Everyone lines up in front of each window, chooses the dishes they want to eat, and hands in their meal tickets.
The military families also lined up in the queue, but they didn't want meal tickets, so the Second Regiment treated them.
At the front of the line, the leaders came to the window.
At first glance, there were only meat dishes, not a single vegetarian dish. Even the soup was stewed with big bones, and it was white.
Looking at the pots of steaming meat and vegetables in the window, the leaders kept marveling in their hearts. They ordered some of each dish and sat down in the corner of the cafeteria.
As the saying goes, if you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain.
The soldiers were drooling at the smell of the food and served their meals much faster. The people at the back looked ahead curiously and the cafeteria became lively.
"Oh mom, it smells so good."
"I saw it, I saw it, it's all meat and vegetables!"
"Wow, there's also twice-cooked pork."
"What is that? I saw it. What is that? Crispy meat."
"And there are rotten meat vermicelli."
"This day is so beautiful, I never dared to think of it in my dreams."
"I heard from the company commander that we will have meat dishes every day from now on."
"Is it true or false?"
"Of course it's true. Our group's pig farm has thousands of pigs, and we don't sell them. We give them to us to eat."
The people who had finished their meals hurriedly sat down and couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks to eat a bite of meat. The people in the queue were drooling at the sight.
Soon, it was Jiang Yan and other military dependents' turn to get food.
Jiang Yan ordered five dishes, scooped a bowl of fragrant bone soup, and sat down with her sisters-in-law.
"Mom, it smells so good."
“Lots of meat.”
Everyone was very happy.
Ye Fengjiao picked up a piece of fat meat, and her eyes immediately narrowed with smiles. She ate several pieces of fat meat in a row, feeling very satisfied. However, she suddenly started to cry while eating.
Yuan Sufeng asked: "What's wrong? Why are you still crying?"
Ye Fengjiao cried, "This is the first time in my life that I've eaten so much meat."
She had experienced hunger before, and she knew the feeling of famine better than anyone else.
Later, she married Ge Qianjin. Although she could have enough food to eat, she could only smell meat every few days.
Even if you cut a pound of meat.
The oil has to be refined first, and the remaining dried fat and lean meat have to be eaten several times and cannot be eaten all at one time.
It was the first time in her life that she ate so much meat at one time.
At this moment, for Ye Fengjiao, who had escaped from famine, it was like being in heaven.
She works so hard to live, just for a bite to eat.
Ye Fengjiao's crying also infected the young soldiers from poor backgrounds around her, and they all wiped away their tears secretly.
Most of those who join the army do so just to have a full meal. I can’t even imagine eating meat in such big mouthfuls. Moreover, I can eat meat every day in the future. If my parents back home knew about this, they would be so happy.
