Sun Xiuhua looked at Ye Zhaozhao and felt that it wasn't bad, but rather that it could be better.
Combining the performance costumes of later generations with contemporary aesthetics, Ye Zhaozhao shared her ideas with Sun Xiuhua.
After listening to Ye Zhaozhao, Sun Xiuhua and the others thought it was a good idea and decided to do as she said.
Zhao Hong searched five villages before finding a tailor. People usually sew their own clothes, and very few people had ever sewn a performance costume before.
"I'll give you ten yuan once it's sewn up."
Then Zhao Hong stated her requirements: she must shock the entire audience during the performance, because she refused to believe that Gu Yunduan would dislike her after seeing her.
He was only temporarily fooled by Ye Zhaozhao. Once the performance was over, he would understand that they were the perfect match. Thinking this, Zhao Hong gave him several more instructions.
Seeing her like this, the experienced driver thought to himself, "She's so good at talking, I might as well do it myself." If it weren't for the high price she offered, the driver really wouldn't want to take on this business.
While Ye Zhaozhao and the others were busy making performance costumes, a major incident occurred in the family compound. Qian Jiefang rushed home, and Ge Yuqiu gave him a towel to wipe his sweat.
Why are you running so fast?
"Honey, I just received news that your family has been reported and you'll be demoted in three days."
"What?"
Ge Yuqiu couldn't believe it. Her family had never been very low-key, and she thought that with money, they could live a peaceful life.
"And what about us?"
"I received a notification that I'm being transferred to another location."
Ge Yuqiu hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Who exactly reported it? But now wasn't the time to dwell on that; they needed to make plans as soon as possible.
"Wife, send Xiao Kai to my parents' house. The place I'm going to is even more difficult than here, and it's inconvenient to take Xiao Kai with me."
Xiao Kai is their son, who is six years old this year. It turns out that Ge Yuqiu disliked Qian Jiefang because his family was from the countryside and was unwilling to have much contact with them.
But now she had no other choice. The couple first called home, then put Xiao Kai on the train. Qian Jiefang knew some comrades who could take care of Xiao Kai.
Before leaving, Qian Jiefang visited Zhou Hongfang and Erdanzi in the village. Zhou Hongfang was doing quite well in the village, thanks to Qian Jiefang's connections.
The villagers treated her very well. Qian Jiefang explained the whole story and left 100 yuan for the mother and son.
Zhou Hongfang knew that he was barely able to take care of himself, let alone her and her son.
The people in the family compound knew that Qian Jiefang and his family were leaving, but no one dared to come and see them off.
Qian Jiefang and Ge Yuqiu carried their packages to board the boat, their backs looking incredibly pitiful.
That day, Chen Sufeng told everyone that she heard that new people would be coming to the family compound after the New Year, and the military region was worried that there wouldn't be enough housing, so they were already building family apartment buildings.
Everyone wants to live in this family housing building. The military region has also said that those who want to live in the family housing building can move out of the family housing compound. This has tempted many people, including Chen Sufeng.
Are you moving to the staff housing?
"I want to go."
Chen Sufen has never lived in an apartment building in her life, while Sun Xiuhua thinks that the family compound is better because you can't grow vegetables in the family apartment building.
Are you moving?
"I'm not moving. I'm pregnant and it's not good for me to move around. I'm used to living in my current house."
Liu Erfeng shook her head. Sun Xiuhua thought so too. Then she looked at Ye Zhaozhao, who was sewing clothes with her head down.
"Zhaozhao, are you moving or not?"
"Not moving."
Every family in the apartment building cooks in the corridor, and since she was a new resident and didn't know the place well, she thought the compound was quite nice.
Ye Zhaozhao's family had a sewing machine, and the four of them sewed clothes very quickly. After finishing in the afternoon, they handed the clothes over to the cultural troupe.
The performing arts troupe paid them a total of fifty yuan. Sun Xiuhua received twenty yuan, and the others each received ten yuan. Everyone was very grateful to Sun Xiuhua.
If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have been able to earn this money.
"Zhaozhao, I heard that your Deputy Regiment Commander Gu is going to be promoted again."
Although Gu Yunduan didn't want to be promoted so quickly, as it would be too conspicuous, he was just too outstanding.
He hasn't said it yet.
Everyone looked at Ye Zhaozhao. Gu Yunduan was already a regimental commander at that age. In a few more years, Ye Zhaozhao might even become the commander's wife.
Time passed day by day, and soon the day of the cultural performance arrived. The children rushed to reserve their spots, having heard that leaders from the military region would also be attending the performance.
So the head of the performing arts troupe told everyone to prepare well, especially Zhao Hong, the main performer, because the dance she was going to dance was too difficult, and the head of the troupe was worried for her.
Zhao Hong was the last to appear, and the opening was a large chorus. As expected of someone from a performing arts troupe, her singing was excellent, and everyone applauded.
When it was Zhao Hong's turn, she lived up to her reputation as a star performer. After her dance, not a single person had a bad word to say. Zhao Hong spotted Gu Yunduan in the crowd.
She was incredibly excited; this dance was meant for him. Unfortunately, Gu Yunduan was busy talking to Commander Zhu and didn't even notice her.
Zhao Hong also saw Ye Zhaozhao, and after thinking of something, she spoke to everyone.
"Today, our performance shouldn't just be by our cultural troupe; the military spouses should also perform a piece."
Upon hearing this, the military wives were even more terrified than the students being called on. They immediately lowered their heads and remained silent. Zhao Hong looked at Ye Zhaozhao.
"Sister-in-law, I heard you're from the city. You must be able to perform. Come up and give us a show."
Gu Yunduan and Commander Zhu had noticed them while Zhao Hong was speaking. The reason they didn't say anything was because they thought Ye Zhaozhao could handle it.
"Comrade Zhao Hong, it's not that I'm unwilling to go up and perform, but if I perform better than you, how will you stay in the cultural troupe?"
