There were still five minutes until seven o'clock and all the military wives were present.

Yang Niannian was dressed very warmly and didn't feel cold wrapped in her military coat.

Those military wives who were preparing to dance the yangge were not so lucky. They were wearing yangge clothes which were a bit thin. They did not have jackets on the outside and wore sweaters inside. It looked good but was really cold.

It was more than ten degrees below zero and my feet were so cold and painful that I could only stamp my feet on the spot to relieve the pain.

Tao Hua was shivering from the cold, and her eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost, almost blocking her vision.

She blew a breath of hot air into her palms, "Big sister, are you cold?"

Yang Niannian smiled and shook her head, "It's not cold, the military coat is very warm."

She was wearing cotton shoes and a military coat, and she felt warm all over.

Tao Hua's lips were frozen purple. "If I had known earlier, I would have worn Old Yan's military coat. What's the point of looking good? I'm freezing like a grandson. If I keep freezing for a few days, I'll get sick."

In fact, Tao Hua usually doesn't care much about her clothes. She dressed casually in the first two years. But after being ridiculed by Xu Yinglian twice, she learned her lesson and dresses more formally every year.

I don’t know how this trend has formed, but when people visit their relatives during the Spring Festival, it’s like they’re competing to see who’s more beautiful.

It looks good, but it doesn’t keep you warm!

So, when she saw Yang Niannian coming here, dressed simply and plainly but still so confident, she felt close to her.

Yang Niannian kindly reminded, "Put on an extra sweater under your clothes tomorrow morning! It's almost the New Year, what if you get sick from the cold?"

Tao Hua nodded repeatedly, her teeth chattering, "Yes, I need to wear more clothes."

Then he said to himself, "Why hasn't Manzhi come yet?"

Yang Niannian rolled up her sleeves and glanced at her watch. "It's two minutes to seven. They should be here soon."

Lin Manzhi set the time herself. With her personality, it is impossible for her to be late. She probably wanted to be on time.

Tao Hua noticed the plum blossom mark on Yang Niannian's watch and exclaimed in surprise.

"Big sister, this is a Plum brand watch, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several military wives around gathered around and looked at the watch on Yang Niannian's wrist with envy.

Before Yang Niannian could answer, Song Fen said affirmatively.

"This is a Tissot brand watch. I saw it when I went to buy a watch when I got married. I liked it very much at the time, but later I thought it was too expensive so I didn't buy it."

Her husband is willing to spend the money, but unfortunately all the money is in the hands of her mother-in-law.

At that time, the man promised to buy it after they got married. Later, after they got married and had children, life became tight and she was reluctant to spend money to buy these things for herself.

Yang Niannian smiled and nodded, "It's cheaper in a small county."

"It's not that much cheaper, right?" Tao Hua said with envy, "Your wrists are white and thin, and a watch will look good on you."

As they were talking, Lin Manzhi and Xu Yinglian finally arrived on time.

Yang Niannian calmly pulled down her sleeve to cover her watch.

Lin Manzhi glanced at everyone and said, "Are you all here? Now let's do as we said before and divide the teams. Those who dance the yangge will stand on the right, those who perform skits will stand on the left, and those who will be the hosts will stand in the middle!"

When everyone heard this, they definitely formed their own formations.

Lin Manzhi looked at Tao Hua and said, "Sister Hua, you are more experienced, so you should be responsible for leading them in the Yangko dance and making the team more orderly. We can't let anything go wrong like last year."

Song Fen blushed with embarrassment. It was she who made the mistake last year.

Tao Hua was shivering with cold and nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll take them to the side and start."

She called the other members of the team aside, instructed everyone to line up, and then began to dance happily.

She also reminded everyone, "Smile cheerfully while twisting your body."

Seeing that everyone was dancing well, Lin Manzhi turned her gaze to Xu Yinglian and said, "You will be in charge of the skit team."

Including Xu Yinglian, there are a total of four military wives performing in the sketch.

After hearing Lin Manzhi's arrangement, Xu Yinglian was dumbfounded, "Sister-in-law, what skit should we perform then?"

Lin Manzhi frowned, "Don't you have a plan?"

Xu Yinglian shook her head awkwardly, "No."

Lin Manzhi didn't lose her temper. She turned her head and looked at Yang Niannian, "You are the host. You should handle the script issue!"

Xu Yinglian immediately cooperated, "I think it's okay. Nian Nian is a college student and has a lot of knowledge. She will definitely be able to come up with a good script."

Yang Niannian didn't expect that Lin Manzhi was so good at making trouble. She was already a host, but she was actually asked to write a script for a skit.

He refused indifferently.

"I don't have a sense of humor and can't write a funny script."

Lin Manzhi obviously didn't intend to let Yang Niannian go. "Any script is fine, as long as you think it's suitable for a New Year's Eve show."

Yang Niannian suddenly had an idea and changed her mind, saying, "It may take me two or three days to write the script."

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Manzhi also took a step back.

"Three days is too long. Try to hurry up and finish it in two days! Don't make it too complicated. Bring the script to me before six o'clock tomorrow night. If there are no problems, we will start rehearsing the day after tomorrow. Nine days is enough time for rehearsal."

"Okay, I'll go back and write the script first." Writing a script was not difficult for Yang Niannian, and she didn't have to get up early tomorrow, which was good.

Seeing Yang Niannian leave, Xu Yinglian and the other three military wives were a little confused, "Sister-in-law, what should we do now?"

Lin Manzhi glanced at them and said, "I need to practice my voice. Come and keep me company! And help me listen to see if it has run away, and also its facial expressions."

Xu Yinglian agreed very quickly. She had already gotten up and there was nothing to do in the room. However, the other three military wives were complaining in their hearts.

It's such a cold day, standing outside is really a torture.

Unlike dancing the yangge, it’s not that cold when doing that activity. Now my toes feel like they are going to be frozen off and it hurts so much.

It’s a pity that they can’t write scripts, otherwise it would be nice for them to just stay in their rooms.

…

Some people were dancing and some were singing downstairs, but Yang Niannian was reading a book in the house.

There is no paper or pen at home, so she can't write a script even if she wants to. She might as well read a book to pass the time.

When it was time for lunch, Lu Shishen came back on time with his lunch box. Yang Niannian was not very hungry as she had not exercised in the house all morning and did not finish the whole box of lunch. Lu Shishen did not despise her and ate her leftovers.

When Lu Shishen came back after washing the lunch box, Yang Niannian asked, "Can you bring back paper and pen from the army? Lin Manzhi asked me to write a skit script, but I don't have any paper and pen."

Lu Shishen frowned, "Isn't she the program instructor? Why did she ask you to write?"

Yang Niannian smiled evilly, "You don't understand, writing a script is a good job, I don't even have to get up early tomorrow."

The weather is so cold, and the military wives who are dancing the yangge are wearing so little that they will be frozen in two days. The rehearsal time will definitely be changed then, and she won't have to get up early for a day.

Seeing that Yang Niannian was not very resistant to writing the script, Lu Shishen did not say anything. However, when he thought of Lin Manzhi's intentional targeting of Yang Niannian, his face still darkened.
