This was the second person who said that Yang Niannian was lucky. She was very pleased and also praised Tao Hua.
"Mrs. Yan, I think you are a blessed person. You will surely have endless blessings in the future."
Tao Hua sighed, "I don't have that kind of luck. My husband is like a ancestor when he comes home. He doesn't like anything about me. If it weren't for the New Year, he probably wouldn't want me to come."
Yang Niannian smiled and said, "Maybe Captain Yan is just not good at expressing himself."
Women in this era have more traditional ideas, and many of them would rather drink pesticides or hang themselves than get divorced even if they are beaten or bullied.
Although Tao Hua complained that her husband was not caring, it was obvious that she did not want to live with him. In this situation, it would be best not to agree with Tao Hua.
Sure enough, when Tao Hua heard her say this, she immediately laughed.
"You're right, he's just a rough guy who can do nothing but yell. But then again, he's still very family-oriented. He doesn't spend money recklessly and gives me his allowance. He has a bad temper, but he doesn't hit anyone. Compared to others, my life isn't bad."
Yang Niannian laughed. See, she guessed right. Fortunately, she didn't say anything bad about Captain Yan, otherwise Tao Hua would definitely be unhappy.
Having said that, in this day and age, it is relatively good to find a man who does not spend money recklessly, saves all his money for his wife, and does not beat his wife.
Tao Hua sat for a while, and suddenly remembered that Yang Niannian had not finished her porridge yet, so she stood up and winked at Yang Niannian.
"Big sister, drink your porridge quickly! I'll go down and see what they are talking about."
"good."
Yang Niannian sent the person to the door, and only closed the door when she saw him walk to the stairs.
The porridge in the thermos was still hot. She drank half of it and covered the rest to keep it warm.
At noon, Lu Shishen came to deliver food, stewed cabbage with meat and stir-fried winter melon. As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of the food hit me in the face.
Yang Niannian's stomach growled twice in cooperation. The chef in the cafeteria was very good at cooking. She ate a full box of rice.
After Lu Shishen finished eating with her, he also drank the porridge in the thermos.
It was not yet time for training, and he was worried that Yang Niannian would be bored alone in the room, so he sat with her for a while.
Yang Niannian took the opportunity to talk to him about the performance.
"Today they called me to Deputy Commander Wei's wife's room to discuss the New Year's Eve program. They said that in the past, the wives of the soldiers would prepare several programs to celebrate on New Year's Eve. This year they plan to prepare three programs, including yangko dancing, skits, and singing the national anthem."
When Lu Shishen heard about Deputy Head Wei's wife, his brows knitted together. Then when he heard her say that she was going to perform a show, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "You know these?"
Dancing the yangge, performing skits, and singing the national anthem, it sounds hard to associate them with her.
Yang Niannian stuck out her tongue. "I can only sing the national anthem, but Deputy Head Wei has already suggested singing the national anthem. From what she said, she wants me to be the only one doing the beautiful thing. She also wants me to do the Yangko dance and perform a skit. She knows I can't do it. Isn't it obvious that she wants me to make a fool of myself?"
As she spoke, she smiled playfully, "Fortunately, I was smart and followed Captain Zhou's wife's advice and found a job as a host. Then I just need to stand there and shout a few times for them to come up and perform. It's simple and effortless, and I don't have to make a fool of myself."
Looking at her quirky appearance, Lu Shishen laughed, "Don't feel too burdened. You are not a professional host, so it doesn't matter if you say something wrong."
Yang Niannian said confidently.
"It's easy to be a host. All you need is a thick skin, a loud voice and clear pronunciation."
She majored in English, and her articulation has always been clear. She is also thick-skinned, so she will just raise her voice a little when the time comes.
In her previous life, she had stood on the podium and read a paper.
One time I dozed off in class and the teacher called me to the podium, making me stand in front of the whole class... ahem... Lu Shishen must not know about this dark history.
Seeing that her eyes were twinkling like two stars, she was so bright and confident that she must have had plans in advance, so Lu Shishen didn't say anything else.
It's indeed a bit boring to stay in the guesthouse all day, so it would be nice to find something to do.
…
force.
As soon as Yan Dafu finished his meal and walked out of the cafeteria, Captain Zhou caught up with him from behind.
"Old Yan, I heard that you were the one who took the regiment commander's wife to the guesthouse yesterday? Everyone says that the regiment commander's wife looks like a fairy. Is that true?"
Yan Dafu glanced at him and said, "It was that brat Zhao Fengnian who spread the news, right? Do you think I'll kick him if I see him? This brat is lying with his eyes open just to curry favor with the regiment commander."
Captain Zhou became interested and asked, "Doesn't it look good?"
Yan Dafu shook his head. "I can't say it's ugly. The eyes are pretty, but not as amazing as Zhao Fengnian said."
Captain Zhou was anxious, "Does it look good or not?"
Yan Dafu thought about it and said directly.
"Let me put it this way! She is not slim at all. She is as small as a carrot and round."
Captain Zhou laughed, "Short and fat?"
Yan Dafu felt it was hard to describe, so he brought out two typical examples for comparison, "Anyway, she is not as tall as my wife, and not as thin as Deputy Commander Wei's wife."
Captain Zhou sneered and quickened his pace to leave Yan Dafu behind. He completely forgot about the fact that Tao Hua was over 1.7 meters tall and directly labeled Yang Niannian as ugly, fat and short.
After returning to the guesthouse and hearing his wife say that Yang Niannian was going to be a host, he immediately made a sarcastic remark.
"With that height, if she stood on the stage, would people standing behind her be able to see her?"
Xu Yinglian didn't understand what her husband meant. When she heard her husband mocking other women, she felt a little happy and agreed with him with a gloating look.
"If she wants to show off, then let her do so. When Lin Manzhi heard that she wanted to be the host, she didn't stop her. Isn't she just waiting to see her make a fool of herself? Just wait and see! This year's New Year's Eve will definitely be more interesting than previous years."
…
Before long, the news that Yang Niannian would be hosting a program on New Year's Eve spread throughout the army. Everyone was curious about what the regiment commander's wife looked like.
Some people say she is as beautiful as a fairy, while others say she is short and fat. It is almost like two factions have been formed.
Zhao Fengnian even argued with his other comrades in the dormitory about this matter until they were red in the face.
Everyone was waiting for the mystery to be revealed on New Year’s Eve, and some people even started making bets that the loser would wash the other’s smelly socks for a month.
Yang Niannian was completely unaware of this and agreed to get up early to accompany the rehearsal. She followed everyone's schedule and reported downstairs on time at 7 o'clock.
It was a bit funny to see some military wives getting up early, with a layer of frost on their hair and eyelashes, hugging their arms and shivering from the cold.
There was a whole day left, but Lin Manzi insisted on coming to rehearse in the morning. She was really forcing herself to do it.
