How could Ye Zhaozhao dance so well? The head of the cultural troupe immediately extended an invitation to her.
"Comrade Ye, have you ever considered working for our cultural troupe?"
In those days, having a job in a performing arts troupe was a source of great prestige, because being beautiful was the primary requirement for getting into a performing arts troupe.
Zhao Hong considers herself a pillar of the station simply because her face is slightly better looking than others.
When Commander Zhu saw that the regimental commander was trying to take the man away, he was about to speak when Ye Zhaozhao refused first.
"I don't want to join the performing arts troupe."
Especially with Zhao Hong's cultural troupe, the troupe leader had no choice but to give up, Commander Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief, while Gu Yunduan was stunned, he never expected his wife to have this side to her.
Everyone's attention then turned to Ye Zhaozhao. Even Commander Zhu praised Ye Zhaozhao and told the other military wives to learn from her.
Zhao Hong's hard-earned dance was no match for Ye Zhaozhao's; she was too ashamed to stay and turned to run away.
No one paid her any attention, and the cultural troupe's performance ended just like that.
...
Ye Zhaozhao was cooking at home when Old Mrs. Wu came to her door. She really didn't like this old lady who loved to take advantage and was quite unreasonable.
"Comrade Ye, I've come here to ask you for a favor?"
"I'm afraid I can't help you. You should ask someone else."
Intuition is not a good thing, and Ye Zhaozhao's first thought was to refuse, but Old Madam Wu refused to leave and insisted on finishing her sentence.
"Comrade Ye, only you can help with this. My granddaughter is about to turn one month old, and my son invited everyone to dinner. Everyone said that you cook well, and you work in the canteen."
"Come and help me cook a meal. I'll give you a dollar so you don't work for free."
Ye Zhaozhao's face darkened. It wasn't that she looked down on money, but she didn't want to go. She could cook for others, but not for her.
"I don't have time. It's almost Chinese New Year, and I haven't bought anything for the house yet."
Grandma Wu wanted to say something, but Ye Zhaozhao didn't give her a chance. She closed the door and went back. Grandma Wu snorted coldly, "If you don't want to help, then don't."
She refused to believe that they wouldn't eat if they left Ye Zhaozhao. Two days later, Sun Xiuhua came to tell her.
Grandma Wu's full moon banquet was simply unbearable to watch. Not only were the dishes all vegetarian, but they were also incredibly unpalatable. Sun Xiuhua even regretted giving two yuan as a gift.
"Zhaozhao, we're going to the county town tomorrow to buy some things. This is the last trip before the New Year. Let's go buy some things."
"good."
As for the last trip, Ye Zhaozhao thought about it and realized that there were indeed many things she needed to buy at home, so she took out the money and coupons that very night.
Gu Yunduan hasn't started his holiday yet. They will have their holiday on the day of the Lunar New Year, and will resume normal training after the New Year. However, soldiers who have family visit leave have already left to go home by now.
Chen Sufeng was going back to visit her relatives. She came over before leaving, saying she would bring them some delicious food.
Ye Zhaozhao went to bed early because she needed to buy things.
The next day, Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua rode in the purchasing vehicle. There were quite a few military wives on this trip, even Lin Meimei came out, holding a child in her arms.
The baby was brought out shortly after the baby's one-month celebration. Lin Meimei was not wearing very thick clothes; they were old cotton-padded jackets.
"Meimei, it's windy here, why don't you leave her at home?"
"No one's home to look after it, it's okay, I'll hold it."
Grandma Wu went back home after the baby's one-month celebration. She didn't want to go back, but it was almost Chinese New Year and she had no choice but to go back.
Lin Meimei was holding a package in her hand. When everyone asked, they learned that it was addressed to Lin Xue.
Everyone knows that Lin Xue didn't have a good life in the Great Northern Wilderness. There was a greater shortage of food and meat there than here, especially since Lin Xue was pregnant.
Fortunately, Commander Duan was a good man. Although life was tough, the couple were of one mind, and they were able to get by.
After getting off the bus, Lin Meimei took the child to mail some things, while Sun Xiuhua and Ye Zhaozhao went straight to the department store. Liu Erfeng, who was pregnant, did not come out today.
She asked Sun Xiuhua to buy her two jin of White Rabbit milk candy. Ye Zhaozhao first bought herself two sets of clothes and leather shoes.
They also bought clothes and shoes for Gu Yunduan.
Seeing how generous she was, the sales clerks were no longer surprised, because she had a military pass and Ye Zhaozhao wanted five jin of milk candy and fruit candy.
Ye Zhaozhao bought firecrackers and couplets for the New Year, and the two of them came out of the department store with big bags and small bags.
They encountered a butcher on the way, but the two of them didn't buy any meat because the military region would slaughter pigs for the New Year, and they would just have to wait to get their share.
Even after walking a distance, you can still hear those people telling the butcher to cut more meat, saying they haven't had meat at home in a long time.
"Sister-in-law Sun, let's go to the state-run restaurant for dinner before going back."
"good."
The two ordered a braised pork belly, a braised pork ribs, and two bowls of rice. Although they had plenty of meat, who would complain about meat? They ate with great relish.
At this moment, Ye Zhaozhao suddenly felt nauseous and managed to hold it in. When Sun Xiuhua saw this, she quickly asked her what was wrong.
"Zhaozhao, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was probably just too greasy from the braised pork."
Sun Xiuhua told her to eat slowly. After finishing their meal, the two prepared to go home, but they ran into an acquaintance, Jiang Yuzhen, who appeared to be there to get food from the state-run restaurant.
She looked unwell, but she recognized Ye Zhaozhao. Although the two hadn't gotten along well at school, they were glad to have run into each other.
It's only right to say hello.
"Comrade Ye, how is school?"
"Everything is fine."
Jiang Yuzhen chatted with Ye Zhaozhao for a few minutes. When the food was ready, she carried it home. Looking at Ye Zhaozhao's expression, Jiang Yuzhen felt a little regretful.
