Chapter 245 "I will personally break up the tyrant Duan's marriage."
The next morning, the lush forests covered by Dali's towering mountains were silent.
Mrs. Duan set out for Xiong District in high spirits, bringing her daughter-in-law Su Yinyin with her. They were talking and laughing. If you didn't know better, you would think that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were going out to see the scenery.
In the Duan family, the women in the family can get support from their uncle when doing things. Even Su Yinyin feels that she is much more proud following her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Duan's purpose for going on this trip was clear: "I want to personally break up the marriage of the tyrant of the Duan family."
"Mom, our Duan family is a wealthy family after all, so we should be a little more careful in doing things, so that outsiders will not accuse us of bullying a military wife." Su Yinyin said with a smile, and pretended to lift a small curly hair on the side of her cheek in a coquettish manner.
"You should learn from this, too. Your son might also encounter something like this when he grows up." Mrs. Duan glanced at her daughter-in-law and gritted her teeth and said, "I went to the Xiong District this time. If nothing else, I will definitely teach that woman a lesson on behalf of her parents."
Duan Yanzhi returned to Kun District, stopped for a while, handled some work, and then set off for Xiong District.
He didn't know that his old mother had already embarked on a journey, traveling through mountains and rivers to destroy his once-in-a-lifetime marriage.
When the old man and his youngest son had finished their breakfast and drove out in several cars with their large and small bags of luggage, they heard that Mrs. Duan had left Dali an hour ago and headed for Xiong District.
Last night, Duan Suili took advantage of the situation and urged Mrs. Duan to go to Xiong District to find Wang Ziru to make trouble, and borrow the power of her sister-in-law to help them give it a try.
I didn't expect that my sister-in-law was so energetic and actually went to Xiong District.
The younger generations of the Duan family came out to see off their grandfather and uncle, and were a little surprised to see that the father and son had packed seven or eight suitcases for their trip to Kun District.
In previous years, when my grandfather went to Kun District, he would just take a suitcase with him and stay for a few days before returning to Dali.
A grandson's wife joked, "Grandpa! You brought so much luggage with you to Kunqu this time?"
"Well, these are all my spare clothes. If I don't bring them, what will I wear in winter?"
The women were all surprised, thinking that Grandpa always brought seven or eight suitcases when he went out, and they all thought that the suitcases were filled with summer clothes.
The old man looked fine, not sick at all. "You can wear these clothes until next winter. We still have to go back to Dali to visit your grandmother next winter."
"Grandpa, are you going to spend the winter in Kun District?" one of the granddaughters-in-law asked in surprise.
Several daughters-in-law also looked at their brother-in-law in surprise, but they did not dare to ask any more questions.
On the surface, they all had smiling faces and respectfully saw the father and son off.
"Your sister-in-law has been married to the Duan family for decades. I've never seen her be so proactive in other things, but she is very enthusiastic about doing bad things." After the old man got in the car, he leaned back in the back seat, clasped his hands, and couldn't help but sneered.
Next to him, Duan Suili forced a smile at his old father, "Dad! According to what you said, the conditions for the Duan family to marry a daughter-in-law need to be changed."
"How to change it?"
"From now on, the men of the Duan family must marry capable women who can bring value to the Duan family, not just vases placed there."
The old man gave his son a meaningful look and said, "Okay, let's start with you getting a wife."
"This time when Duan Yanzhi is getting married, our Duan family will refer to this rule when choosing the woman."
"That won't do! Duan Yanzhi has already been chosen. If you change the conditions now, it's obviously making things difficult for the woman. I object." The old man looked determined.
Duan Suili pulled the corner of his lip and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried that Duan Yanzhi will make a mistake and marry a pretty girl?"
"As long as my eldest grandson likes it, a vase is just a vase." The old man was still not fooled and would never leave any small handle in front of his son to avoid being settled by his eldest grandson later. Not only would he not settle the matter, but he would also offend his grandson's wife.
Ninth Division, everything remains the same.
While everyone was busy, Wenyuan and his wife moved out of the Ninth Division and took up a post in a remote small unit.
Although there were constant discussions in the family compound, there were only twenty fewer unemployed military wives left in the compound. All of them were placed in nearby factories to work.
After sending the child back to the army, Wang Ziru went to visit the auditorium.
This auditorium is quite spacious, enough to accommodate a thousand spectators. The stage is not very big, but can accommodate twenty children to perform on the stage.
Behind the stage is a room for makeup props and a toilet next to it.
After the visit, she had a general idea of the performance.
After walking a few steps out of the auditorium, I ran into the leader and his group returning from training. Fu Xun greeted them warmly: "Comrade Ziru! Did you visit the auditorium?"
"Yes! Commander, I have already reported to you last night. This time I have prepared two songs, one is a nursery rhyme and the other is a love song, so I need to select a soldier from the army who meets all the requirements to sing the love song."
As Fu Xun walked, he kept looking at the woman with a bright look in her eyes and nodded, saying, "I support your work. They will take a break at noon, so let the warriors who are willing to participate in this reunion go to the auditorium and you can choose one yourself."
"Can."
In order to have enough time to select the singers in the auditorium at noon, Wang Ziru returned to her family compound, picked the vegetables for lunch, washed them and put them in a basin.
Then I sat down at the table and started writing the lyrics.
A nursery rhyme, "Little Beauty".
The love song is "I Want to Find You".
After writing the lyrics, she sang them at home for a while. When Zhu Yan came down, she saw Wang Ziru singing with the lyrics at home and couldn't help but applaud: "Sister Ziru, you sing so beautifully."
"Well, I'm free now, so accompany me to the auditorium at noon. The chief promised to let me choose a warrior to sing in the auditorium at noon." Wang Ziru said with a smile, and the lyrics in her hand were taken over by Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan looked at the lyrics of the two songs and asked, "Sister Ziru, did you write all of these?"
"Well, that's about right. How about it? Do you want to sing? I'll teach you."
"Hey, hey, I'm not good at singing..."
"It doesn't matter! After you learn it, just sing it to ourselves. Who says we have to sing it for others?" Seeing that there was still early, Wang Ziru taught Zhu Yan to sing word by word.
"Sister Ziru, I like this love song. Please teach me how to sing it." Zhu Yan bit her lower lip and felt a little shy when she saw the affectionate lyrics.
Wang Ziru tapped Zhu Yan's head with the pen in her hand, "I see, you want to learn to sing for Zhang Kang."
"Oh, don't say that, it's so embarrassing..." Zhu Yan covered her cheeks with her hands shyly.
Like the lyrics of this love song she wrote in the 80s:
~Ask what is the most beautiful thing in the world, love is definitely a miracle;
~I know there is a heart waiting for me to get close to you in the distance~~
Most young people would blush and their hearts would beat faster when they see this.
So, at noon, when they formally selected the warriors in the auditorium, Wang Ziru's guess was confirmed. When the warriors held the lyrics and hadn't started singing yet, the vast majority of them took a look at the lyrics, covered their faces and ran away.
Only a very small number of soldiers, after seeing the lyrics of the love song, asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Captain Zhai is good-looking, why don't you let him sing on the stage?"
"Zhai Ximo? He's good-looking, but his facial expression is dull, which doesn't meet my requirements." Wang Ziru was sitting in the first row of the auditorium and commented on her ex-husband generously.
Little did they know that the singer selection event in the auditorium at noon was too lively.
Zhai Ximo couldn't help but look out the door of the auditorium. He inexplicably heard what Wang Ziru said, and his face turned ashen with anger. He looked at the familiar figure with a dim gaze.
Now he has become a lonely ghost without a home, and she still goesssips about him in front of outsiders!
Standing next to Wang Ziru, Zhu Yan turned around inadvertently and saw Zhai Ximo's figure.
"Sister Ziru, please stop talking. Baoer's father is right outside the door."
Wang Ziru turned around and saw her ex-husband walking away. She snorted, "That's true. But what happened today? I'm about to go to work, so why haven't I met a little warrior who's suitable for singing love songs?"
Just when I was worrying about it, a group of little warriors came to the auditorium pushing and shoving.
Wang Ziru raised her eyes and asked, "Are you guys here to participate in the selection as well?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, do you think I can do it?" A young warrior walked up to Wang Ziru with a handsome smile and took off his hat so that Wang Ziru could see more clearly.
Wang Ziru was closer and measured the young warrior's figure with her eyes. He was nearly 1.75 meters tall, with a handsome face. To use the words of the 1980s, the young man was very good-looking.
"Here are the lyrics. I'll sing a couple of lines and you sing along."
Two minutes later, Wang Ziru suddenly stood up from the chair, walked out, and patted the little warrior on the shoulder, "It's you! When you have time, I will teach you to sing."
"You really want me to sing?"
"Yes! What's your name? I'll remember it."
Zhao Qingrui said with a sly smile: "Sister-in-law, my name is Zhao Qingrui, I'm 21 years old, and my hometown is Qingdao..."
The warriors waiting to watch in the auditorium saw this commotion, and many people around heard it and gathered around.
They were embarrassed to sing the lyrics, but sister-in-law sang it beautifully, so they wanted to hear her sing it.
Wang Ziru's fair face showed a gentle smile. She nodded and then hummed a few lines.
At first, Zhao Qingrui was stared at by everyone with fiery eyes and felt a little embarrassed, but after humming along a few times, his voice was opened and he could actually sing the song with deep emotion.
"You have great qualifications! What time do you get off work tonight? I'll wait for you in the auditorium." Wang Ziru was very satisfied with this apprentice. This image was also beyond the average level. If he became a hit, he would definitely be invited by the TV station to sing in Kun District.
Zhao Qingrui never thought that he was actually chosen by his sister-in-law.
The comrades who had come with him to the auditorium came over and patted his arms to congratulate him.
Cheer them to start rehearsing now.
"No rush! You can come and watch us rehearse the show in the evening when you have time. We also have to rehearse the children's nursery rhymes starting tonight." Wang Ziru wrote down Zhao Qingrui's name in the notebook and asked them to go back to work first.
Although it was the weekend, the troops still had to train as usual, just like children who have to do their homework at home on weekends.
In the evening, Wang Ziru was standing by the stove outside her house cooking.
Fu Xun's guard came up to inform her, "Sister-in-law! The commander asked you to go to the office to answer the phone. He said it was from the Korean Corps."
"Ah? He wants to talk to me about something?" Wang Ziru was slightly surprised for a moment, and quickly blocked the air inlet under the stove, covered the pot, walked into the small living room, and said to the two kids, "Bao'er, Mom is going to the regiment to answer a phone call and will be back soon. You guys go play first."
"Auntie, you go ahead. We'll take care of the house."
Fu Jiqiu seemed to have treated this place as his second home. He and Baoer squeezed into the rattan chair and read the picture book with great relish.
