Chapter 89
Wang Ju glared at Meng Youyou, waiting for her to apologize to her.
But who would have known that even though she knew her real name, she still kept calling her "Wang Ju" with an innocent expression, but her eyes were blinking, and you could tell at a glance that she wasn't embarrassed at all.
"Meng Youyou!" Wang Ju said angrily.
"What's wrong with Wang Ju?" Meng Youyou raised the corner of her mouth, and her delicate little face showed a lively expression.
Peng Jieru, who was standing aside, looked at it stupidly, and slowly and forcefully straightened her proud chin.
In the past, Wang Ju was the most influential person in the family. When she married to Beijing from Taipei, her unit was transferred there as well. She then climbed up the ladder and was gradually promoted to the position of secretary.
Among her peers, Wang Ju is the most outstanding, so no matter what she does, she is always at the forefront, with her relatives following her lead.
After arriving in Beijing, she found that her name was really unsophisticated and exposed the fact that her parents were uneducated. Therefore, she always avoided using her real name when introducing herself, and even refused to let the elderly call her by it when she went home for the New Year.
Normally everyone goes along with her, but who would have known that now in the Beijing Art Troupe, this fearless little girl is so fierce, calling everyone "Wang Ju" as if she were an old acquaintance.
The little girl seemed to be deliberately irritating her...
Peng Jieru was confused, but seeing her aunt's face flushed with anger, she inexplicably felt that this person was amazing. She was so angry that she was jumping up and down, but she remained calm.
“Sister Wang, please don’t bother with that little girl.” Captain Li watched the show for a while and was amused by Meng Youyou. He said, “Anyway, we already know the task you assigned to us. We will choreograph the dance as soon as possible so that your niece can join the show as soon as possible.”
No matter how high and mighty Wang Ju usually was, she had to give face to the head of the art troupe. When he gave her a way out, she nodded.
"That's it," Wang Ju said to Peng Jieru, "Jieru, you stay here and don't have to go back with me."
After Wang Ju finished speaking, she glanced at Meng Youyou again. Seeing that the little girl looked well-behaved, she became even more angry and quickly left the practice room.
As soon as she left, many art soldiers surrounded her.
"Youyou, you just scared me."
"What an embarrassing scene that was."
"But I actually feel a little relieved. Captain Li let her do this because he was afraid that it would affect our chances of going on stage. Does she really think she is so powerful—"
Everyone was talking at once, and just as they finished speaking, they suddenly felt a pair of eyes looking at them from behind.
They slowly turned around and met Peng Jieru's eyes in mid-air.
Peng Jieru's mouth stiffened. She thought to herself that she had to stand up straight for her aunt, and slowly raised her chin.
She thought a bloody quarrel was about to begin, but who knew that Meng Youyou would just smile sweetly.
"I'll choreograph a dance for you to try and follow."
Peng Jieru looked at her suspiciously.
What a big mouth, just choreograph a dance and let yourself dance to it!
Meng Youyou choreographed the dance quickly.
Peng Jieru is also an expert in the song and dance troupe of the Taipei City Art Troupe. She struck a pose and immediately began to dance to the rhythm of the music.
I have to admit that she danced well, but with her chin raised and her expression haughty, like a delicate peacock, she totally failed to convey the central idea of the performance.
As the choreographer of this performance, Meng Youyou could only start giving hands-on guidance.
The more Peng Jieru danced, the more frustrated she felt.
Why is this dance so difficult?
"Did you make my part difficult on purpose to target me?" she said unhappily.
Meng Youyou didn't argue with her and just demonstrated it to her directly.
Finally, Peng Jieru gave up: "If we start practicing now, how can we keep up?"
Meng Youyou smiled with her eyebrows curved.
It's okay if you can't keep up.
After practicing for a while, Peng Jieru felt tired and sat down dejectedly to rest.
"Then let's go eat!"
After saying that, Meng Youyou and several other cultural soldiers walked hand in hand and happily went to the cafeteria.
Peng Jieru didn't know what to do for a moment.
She was left behind, how embarrassing.
"Do you want to come and have dinner with us?" Suddenly, Meng Youyou turned around.
The soft voice fell into Peng Jieru's ears.
She was slightly startled, then nodded immediately: "I'll come."
Meng Youyou waited for her for a while, and only continued walking forward when she saw that she had caught up with everyone else.
Everyone who comes to the art troupe is a guest, so of course they won’t leave her alone.
For the next few days, Meng Youyou took Peng Jieru to practice dancing.
They spent most of their time together, Peng Jieru practicing over and over again, and she correcting her over and over again, never getting tired of it.
Peng Jieru has practiced dancing for so many years and has suffered a lot. She gritted her teeth and persevered, but no matter how hard she tried, the results were always bad and she could not keep up with everyone's rhythm.
She finally lowered her head: "Am I really that bad?"
Meng Youyou looked at her lost expression and patted her shoulder: "Don't be sad."
Peng Jieru sighed and said, "After practicing for so long, I still can't achieve the desired effect. It seems that I am holding everyone back."
"Isn't this the beginning?" Meng Youyou took the kettle and gulped down a big gulp of water.
"But you are just starting out too." Peng Jieru said helplessly, "When you do the same movements, they are so soft and agile, but when I do them, I look so stupid."
After growing up, Youyou is still as arrogant as ever. She kept silent and agreed with what she said.
Peng Jieru sat on the floor of the practice room and rubbed her legs. "Actually, I don't really have to be on the Spring Festival Gala. It's just that I've been in the art troupe for so many years and haven't achieved anything. I've always performed behind others. I want to find a chance to prove myself and show everyone that I'm awesome."
Meng Youyou whispered, "If you don't dance well, won't the whole country know that you are not good?"
Peng Jieru's eyes widened.
That makes sense.
Her aunt forced her into this group in order to help her.
But what if she just can't?
It would be fine if I was embarrassed in front of my aunt and fellow members of the Taipei City Art Troupe, but it would be so embarrassing if I were to embarrass myself on the Spring Festival Gala.
…
No one expected that within a few days, Peng Jieru would take the initiative to ask to leave Beijing.
Captain Li has always known that Youyou has many ways of doing things, but he didn't expect that this little girl didn't even get angry with the other person, but directly persuaded the other person to leave.
"Youyou, how did you do that?" she asked in surprise.
Meng Youyou said: "Since we are adding someone to our program, she has to bring out her strengths. The dance moves I choreographed for her are a little difficult, but if she does well, we won't lose out and the performance will be even more exciting."
Captain Li understood.
She watched Meng Youyou grow up, and the little girl never used tricks to deal with others. Even though she was dissatisfied with Wang Ju's insistence on forcing someone on them this time, she just wanted to find a way to make Peng Jieru give up.
Peng Jieru tried to persist, but she really couldn't keep up.
She decided to give up.
After learning the news, Wang Ju hurried to the art troupe.
As soon as she saw her, Meng Youyou smiled and called out, "Wang Ju is here."
Wang Ju glared at her angrily and pulled Peng Jieru over: "Why are you so disappointing?"
Peng Jieru bit her lip and said, "Aunt, I don't know them to begin with. There's no way we can develop a tacit understanding in just a few days. Even if I force myself to stay, after rehearsing for a while, if I can't pass the final review, wouldn't that be a burden to everyone?"
During this period, she rehearsed with everyone every day, and it was obvious how dedicated they were to the show.
She would feel bad if the entire program was delayed because of her.
"You are so useless!" Wang Ju said angrily, "You have been like this since you were a child. You don't know how to seize opportunities. You look smart, but when you encounter difficulties, you become indecisive. Why do you care so much about others?"
After a pause, she looked at Meng Youyou: "Don't even mention comparing yourself with others. Even if you compare yourself with her, a little girl who has been in the regiment for many years and still can't become a formal art soldier, you are not as good as her!"
No matter how Wang Ju taught her niece a lesson, Director Li was not happy when she was criticized by others. She said seriously, "Sister Wang, it's not that Youyou can't join our art troupe. She has participated in so many large-scale singing and dancing performances over the years and has long been noticed by the superiors. But no matter how we asked, this girl just didn't want to join the troupe. The little girl doesn't want to be bound, she just likes to dance freely."
Wang Ju sneered, "Captain Li, please stop speaking for her. What better career do you think this girl has? You talk so nicely, but I don't think she can get into this troupe. This is an art troupe. What kind of identity and background does she have that she is not even appreciated by the art troupe?"
Captain Li also lost his temper and said in a harsh tone, "This girl just took the college entrance examination and is waiting for her admission letter! She has good grades and a bright future. Is it wrong to want to leave more options for herself?"
Meng Youyou stood aside and found that Captain Li had actually started arguing with someone because of her.
She blinked and took Captain Li's arm: "Ignore Wang Ju."
After a pause, she added politely: "Secretary Wang Ju doesn't understand anything!"
Wang Ju listened to the little girl's sweet voice and felt like she had punched cotton. She snorted, "What future? The college admission letters were sent out two days ago. My daughter was admitted to Lingshi Normal University and even the admission letter was sent to her. Meng Youyou hasn't received an admission letter yet, so she didn't get in."
However, just as she finished speaking, the guard ran in: "Youyou! Your mother is here to see you!"
When Captain Li heard this, his eyes lit up: "Your mother doesn't usually come to our group on purpose. Did she bring the university admission letter?"
Meng Youyou blinked.
No way!
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. When the cultural and art soldiers heard what Captain Li said, they became excited and pulled Youyou out, wanting to see whether the admission letter had really been brought.
Wang Ju was left hanging. She snorted coldly, "What admission letter? I have never heard of any university sending an admission letter at this time. The people in the art troupe are really united. They should find a way for Meng Youyou to leave."
"Aunt, if you don't believe it, just go and see for yourself," said Peng Jieru.
Wang Ju walked out with an unconvinced look on her face.
Just take a look!
When she arrived at the gate of the art troupe, the first thing Wang Ju saw was the car driven by Meng Jinyu.
It is now 1992. In the 1970s, if someone in the compound bought a bicycle, it would surely attract everyone's attention. But now, people who buy a car will definitely receive more envious looks than they did back then.
The car was black and polished to a shine. It was parked in front of the art troupe, looking both imposing and respectable.
Wang Ju looked at it enviously for a long time, and until she saw Meng Youyou walk to the car, she still didn't think it was her car.
However, the next moment, Meng Jinyu got out of the car.
"Mother!"
Wang Ju’s eyes widened.
"Youyou, the admission letter has arrived." Meng Jinyu couldn't hide the joy on her face. She took the letter from the passenger seat and handed it to Youyou.
Wang Ju didn't expect that the girl would actually be admitted to university.
But she still insisted, "It's not like the college entrance examination was just resumed a few years ago. It shouldn't be that difficult to get into a university, right? Besides, she's studying dance, and the admission score for art schools isn't high."
Meng Youyou held the admission letter envelope in her slender white hands and slowly tore it open.
Every time she tore it open, the people around her became more nervous.
Especially Meng Jinyu, her heart was in her throat, and she just wanted to share such a moment with her little girl.
The sunlight was so glaring that Meng Youyou couldn't even open her eyes.
She half-closed her eyes, her head almost sticking into the opening of the envelope, and slowly took out the admission letter as if she was opening a mysterious gift.
Finally, she slowly opened her eyes, looked carefully, her almond-shaped eyes became brighter, and she said in surprise: "Mom! It's Jingshi University! I was admitted to Jingshi University!"
Wang Ju’s whole body stiffened.
Jingshi University does not have art majors, so to get in, you need to have solid scores.
How is that possible!
Wang Ju had never seen the admission letter from Jingshi University, so she stood on tiptoe to take a look unwillingly.
The four bright words "Jingshi University" almost hurt her eyes.
The next moment, Captain Li smiled widely: “Youyou is truly amazing.”
After a pause, she turned to look at Wang Ju and said, "Sister Wang, which university did your daughter get into?"
Wang Ju's face turned red and she said nothing.
"It's Lingnan Normal University. I just heard it."
“It’s also a good school.”
"But it's a little worse than Jing City University."
Wang Ju's mouth froze.
How is Lingnan Normal University inferior to universities in Beijing?
If I had known this, I would not have come to witness this little girl’s glorious moment.
It's so infuriating.
…
Since Peng Jieru voluntarily withdrew, the program was naturally rehearsed as it was.
Meng Youyou comes to the art troupe every day and looks forward to the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve.
School started soon after.
Meng Youyou packed a whole box of luggage and came to Jingshi University.
Meng Jinyu and Gu Zhimin sent her here together.
From childhood to adulthood, Youyou has never caused Meng Jinyu to worry, and this time is no exception.
As soon as she entered the school gate, she found her dormitory building, registered with the dormitory manager, and got the dormitory key.
In the dormitory, most of the roommates have arrived.
"Hello, my name is Meng Youyou, and I'm a freshman in the Department of Journalism and Media."
Everyone's eyes fell on the dormitory door.
The little girl's skin is snow-white, and her whole body is bright and dazzling, but her temperament is not aggressive.
Moreover, her eyes were as bright and clear as stars, and her voice was very pleasant and soft. At the end of every sentence, her tone was rising, which made people feel better unconsciously.
Seeing that the new roommate was so friendly, the other students' hearts, which had been hanging in their throats, finally settled down.
"Hello, my name is Wu Shuangru, and I'm a freshman in the Department of Literature."
"Hey, I had a good friend when I was a kid, her name was Wu Shuangxia!"
"Then we can definitely become good friends in the future!"
A girl with pigtails said with a smile, "My name is Huang Lulu, and I'm also a freshman in the Department of Literature. Let me tell you something. When I saw you were so pretty just now, I thought you must be a delicate girl and not easy to get along with. I didn't expect that you would be so enthusiastic as soon as you opened your mouth, and immediately dispelled my doubts."
Meng Youyou's face was flushed.
Of course I feel happy when people praise my beauty.
There are six students in the same dormitory, and each of them comes from a different place.
Lin Man is a freshman in the Foreign Languages Department. She arrived the earliest but didn’t talk to other students until she saw Meng Youyou. Then she finally spoke: “Are you a local?”
"I lived in Jiangcheng when I was a child, and moved here when I was in elementary school." Meng Youyou said, "What about you?"
Lin Man's expression became a little colder: "Oh, I'm a local from Beijing."
At this time, a classmate wearing gray clothes and thick glasses said shyly: "My name is Ye Aidi, I come from a small place, you probably haven't heard of me."
"Ye Aidi? You should have a younger brother, right?" Lin Man raised her eyebrows.
Ye Aidi nodded: "I am the eldest sister in the family and I have three younger brothers."
Lin Man was happy: "Then you must love your brother."
Ye Aidi's face turned red.
Meng Youyou glanced at Lin Man unhappily and walked up to Ye Aidi: "I also have a younger brother. My younger brother is sixteen years old. How about your younger brother?"
Ye Aidi looked at Meng Youyou gratefully and immediately started talking to her about her family situation.
Seeing this, Lin Man's eyes became even more contemptuous.
One is Ye Aidi, and the other is what?
Meng Pandi?
She was amused by her own thoughts and said with a "chuckle", "It's fate that we live in the same dormitory. I'll invite you to come to my house someday."
"You can also come to my house to play." Meng Youyou said with a smile, "My mother cooks delicious food."
Lin Man lazily withdrew his gaze.
Does she still have a home in Beijing?
I'm afraid it's just a small rental house. Can it accommodate so many roommates?
"Okay, I also want to visit your house." Lin Man said with a smile.
Meng Youyou glanced at Lin Man with disdain.
Everything about their dormitory is good, except that it's a pity that the most weird person lives there.
…
While Youyou was chatting with her classmates, Meng Jinyu had already retreated outside the dormitory.
She originally wanted to help Youyou make her bed, but now it seems that the child doesn't need her help.
The child has grown up and is old enough to be independent, but somehow, Meng Jinyu still feels a little disappointed.
In her mind, scenes from Youyou’s childhood always echoed.
At that time, little Tuanzi was only five years old. He braved the heavy rain, walked with his short legs, and rushed to his grandmother's house to save himself.
Later, the child grew up and started school. The first time she got good grades was because of Jin Minmin. The child herself did not like studying very much, but in order to prevent Teacher Lin from losing her job, she studied hard every day. In the end, Jin Minmin reaped the consequences.
When Youyou was eight or nine years old, Meng Jinyu brought her to Chunyu Garment Factory. At that time, their house was not big, but their life was gradually getting better. The family of five would sit at the dinner table and talk and laugh from time to time, and it was warm and lively.
Afterwards, their family moved to Beijing. Her career became more and more successful, and she met the partner with whom she would spend the rest of her life.
Thinking about it now, Meng Jinyu felt like she was dreaming.
After being married for many years, Gu Zhimin could tell what his wife was thinking. He smiled and took her hand: "The child has grown up and is becoming more and more promising. This is a good thing. You promised me that you would travel with me when you have time and go around. Can you do it now?"
Meng Jinyu smiled: "Even if I have time, you don't have time. We are both people who can't sit still."
Gu Zhimin shook his head helplessly: "It seems that it will take a few more years, until we both retire and become old men and women, before we can spare the time."
The arc of Meng Jinyu's mouth turned up even deeper: "When I become an old man, I won't be able to walk anymore."
"When you become an old lady, you will definitely still be a beautiful old lady." Gu Zhimin held her hand tighter.
"Mom, Uncle Gu, I'll take you to the cafeteria--" Meng Youyou came out of the dormitory. Before she could finish her words, she saw Uncle Gu and her mother looking at each other and smiling.
As soon as they saw her, Uncle Gu and Mom loosened their clenched hands and scratched their heads embarrassedly.
"Let's go to the cafeteria to eat?" they asked in unison.
Meng Youyou's eyes curved like crescent moons when she smiled.
They have been married for so many years, yet Mom and Uncle Gu are still shy.
She had long been accustomed to the two of them being so affectionate with each other, because the more affectionate they were, the happier her mother was.
Youyou hopes that her mother will always be so happy.
…
After school started for a while, Meng Youyou was not in the dormitory most of the time except for attending classes according to the schedule.
At this moment, Lin Man came back from get out of class and saw Meng Youyou rushing out again, so she stopped her and said, "Youyou, why are you so busy?"
"I'm going to dance." said Meng Youyou.
"You can dance, I've never heard of you before." Lin Man said in surprise.
"There are many things you haven't heard of." Meng Youyou said this and turned to leave.
But Lin Man refused to give in: "Youyou, didn't you say last time that you would invite us to your house? Don't you really want to invite us?"
Wu Shuangru said, "Youyou is so busy, it's normal that she doesn't have time to invite us to her house. You said last time that you wanted us to visit your house, it's been two months, why haven't you mentioned it yet? Lin Man, don't you want to invite us at all?"
Wu Shuangru has a straightforward personality and says whatever she wants. When she saw that Lin Man was unhappy, she even rolled her eyes while talking.
Lin Man was choked by these words and said awkwardly: "I wanted to go to Youyou's house first, and then invite you to my house."
As the only local in the dormitory, Lin Man felt extremely superior, especially when she heard that the other roommates were all from small mountain villages, she felt even more proud.
But without comparison, the gap cannot be shown. She wants to go to Meng Youyou's house first, and then invite them to her house. By then, everyone will definitely look at her with envy!
"Then let's do it on Saturday. I really have something to do, so I'll leave first." Meng Youyou said this and ran away with a "whoosh".
Looking at her back, Lin Man curled the corners of his mouth.
How scared are you? How broken is your house?
…
Lin Man originally thought that Meng Youyou was just saying it casually, but unexpectedly, she was actually willing to invite everyone to her home as guests.
Youyou wrote her home address to her roommates one day in advance and waited for everyone to come over at home.
Lin Man is from Jingshi, so of course she led the way. Early on Saturday morning, she and everyone set out from Jingshi University.
"Does Meng Youyou live so far away?" Lin Man originally wanted to walk there, but the distance was too far, so she had to take the bus.
After getting in the car, she said, "Does she have to take such a long car ride to go home at night? It's a waste of time."
Ye Aidi whispered, "Youyou didn't take the bus home."
"Bicycle?" Lin Man raised her eyebrows. "Does she have a bicycle at home? Riding a bicycle home must be tiring."
"Her family drove her there and back." Wu Shuangru said, "I saw her many times when I went to Canteen No. 3 to buy breakfast."
Lin Man was too lazy to listen.
What are you bragging about!
The group finally found Youyou's house.
Seeing the front door of her house from a distance, Ye Aidi immediately said, "It's here. Youyou said there is a small sign at the door of her house. She drew it when she was a child and hung it outside the door."
Everyone looked over and saw a small sign hanging at the gate of the courtyard.
The small sign is very cute, with the house number written on it and a small chimney drawn on it, which is full of childlike fun.
"Has this house been rented for such a long time? Looking at this painting, it should have been drawn when I was in my teens." Lin Man said.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Wu Shuangru asked curiously: "Who said the house is rented? It's bought."
"It's impossible that it was bought. You don't know how expensive this house is!" Lin Man snorted in her heart, secretly cursing them for being country bumpkins.
However, when she walked into the yard, she was stunned.
The yard is not small, with two cars parked in it, one white and one black.
The house may be rented, so is the car also rented?
Lin Man suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
When she entered the room again, her eyes widened even more.
This house is different from most people’s homes nowadays. It seems to have been specially decorated and is very tasteful.
As soon as Meng Youyou saw them coming, she immediately and enthusiastically took everyone to visit her room.
Her room was very big, even bigger than Lin Man's parents' room. There were some dolls on the bed and many award certificates on the wall.
Lin Man leaned forward to take a look and her whole body froze.
There are awards of all sizes, some were won from dance competitions, and some were awarded by the art troupe. Just by looking at the words written on the certificates, you can tell that Meng Youyou's strength should not be underestimated.
Through the conversation between other classmates and Meng Youyou, Lin Man also learned that the house was purchased.
She heard from her mother that in recent years, many people from other places came to Beijing to start self-employed businesses and did very big businesses. It turned out that Meng Youyou's family was one of them.
Next, Lin Man felt like sitting on pins and needles at Meng Youyou's house.
Even though she was eating and drinking well here, she still felt unhappy in her heart.
I thought I could show off my superiority in front of my classmates, but I didn't expect that instead of showing off my superiority, I put my face forward to be hit. How embarrassing.
If Meng Youyou was intentionally showing off, it would be fine, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she was like a clown, working in vain for a long time.
When she was about to leave Meng Jinyu's house, Lin Man stood in front of the two cars and looked at them for a long time.
One is a government bus and the other is a private car, which means that some of Meng Youyou's family members hold important positions in state-owned enterprises, while others are self-employed and make a lot of money.
Lin Man bit her lip and couldn't help but say something sour: "What's so great about it..."
Wu Shuangru said: "Youyou has never said that she is great, right? The money earned by the family is earned by hard work. Youyou never mentions it because she thinks it is vulgar to deliberately mention it. We have studied for so many years, and we will have our own achievements in the future through our own efforts, right?"
Lin Man's face turned red with anger.
After all this fuss, she is the only vulgar person in the dormitory?
"Youyou, you have to practice dancing every day recently. Is it because the art troupe has another important performance?" Ye Aidi asked.
Meng Youyou smiled sweetly and whispered in Ye Aidi's ear, "Yes, we are going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala!"
These words were like a thunderbolt, striking Lin Man on the forehead.
She couldn't believe her ears, so she dug hard with her little finger and finally shook her head.
Impossible, how could that be?
On New Year's Eve, she will sit in front of the TV and watch carefully to see if Meng Youyou is bragging!
…
New Year's Eve in 1992 came earlier than usual.
On the evening of December 23rd, every household prepares the New Year’s Eve dinner and celebrates the New Year happily.
On this day, there were fewer people at home than usual. Youyou was on the Spring Festival Gala, while Jiang Cheng and Jiang Guo were in the army and abroad respectively.
Gu Zhimin, Gu Qi and Meng Shan all went into the kitchen to help and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner with Meng Jinyu.
Old Master Gu was sitting in front of the TV, having already tuned the channel, waiting for his precious granddaughter to appear.
At this time, Jiangcheng was also extremely lively.
After several years of hard work, several households in Fenglin Village have installed large color TVs.
At this moment, the granddaughter of Village Chief Li insisted that her grandfather move the color TV to the yard and invited her friends to watch it together.
After dinner, the villagers came to the courtyard of Village Chief Li to join in the fun. Adults and children each brought their own stools and sat in rows as if they were watching a movie in a cinema.
At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala begins on time.
Xu Weiwei stared at the TV closely, her hands on her knees, with a serious look on her face.
"Mom, you're going to get blurry eyes if you stare so closely," said Xu Weiwei's daughter.
Xu Weiwei smiled: "Look at me, I'm so nervous... A few days ago, your aunt Jinyu called me and said that Youyou will be on the Spring Festival Gala this year! I'm worried about the little girl's performance."
When Jiang Ai Qiu and Wang Xiaofen heard this, their eyes widened bigger than bells.
Youyou? Spring Festival Gala?
That's impossible...
On the other side, Liu Anqin's house was as lifeless as ever.
Over the years, she and her husband Zhou Xin have not gotten along well, and their relationship is maintained entirely by the existence of their son.
She missed Gu Qi and Gu Zhimin more than once, and regretted what she had done more than once.
"This song and dance performance is so beautiful..." suddenly, her son shouted.
Liu Anqin washed the dishes, walked out with her shoulders pinched, and glanced at the TV absentmindedly.
However, just this one glance made her whole body stiffen.
The little girl on TV looks so familiar.
"Look at this young lady, she's so pretty."
"Her eyes are big and round, prettier than the actresses on TV."
“Is she a big star?”
Zhou Xin raised his head and took a glance, and was slightly startled. The little girl was delicate and beautiful, indeed more dazzling than a female star.
But what shocked him even more was that he knew this girl.
Could it be that I remembered it wrong?
After all, the child was only five or six years old back then.
Just as Zhou Xin was thinking this, he glanced and saw Liu Anqin getting closer and closer, staring at the TV, biting her lips hard, her eyes red with hatred.
Zhou Xin's eyes darkened.
It was indeed that child.
He is an adult and would not argue with a child. Liu Anqin should be the same.
But she is still so fussy until now. Perhaps she is not concerned about the child, but the Gu family...
Zhou Xin frowned in annoyance, and suddenly heard the pager in his pocket ringing.
He immediately held his pocket, glanced at Liu Anqin strangely, stood up and walked into the house.
…
"This is my niece!"
"Look at my niece, she can dance so well!"
"At first glance, this is the most eye-catching one! My niece has been good at singing and dancing since she was a child. She was picked by the art troupe at a very young age. I knew she was good, but I didn't expect her to be so good that she even performed on the Spring Festival Gala!"
At this moment, Ruan Jinguo was eating New Year's Eve dinner in the largest restaurant in Jiangcheng, showing off his niece.
Now that everyone's living conditions are getting better, some people will celebrate New Year in hotels. Ruan Jinguo had known for a long time that Youyou would be on the Spring Festival Gala, and was afraid that it would not be exciting enough to show off at home, so he found a hotel with a TV in the lobby and set up a table of wine.
Now, he finally waited for Youyou to appear, and immediately he flew around the hall like a butterfly, telling everyone he met that this was his niece.
Su Jingjing was amused by him and laughed together with her daughter.
Seeing his wife and children laughing, Ruan Jinguo scratched his head.
Such a glorious moment, of course I have to share it with everyone.
"Youyou has been very clever since she was little, but I never thought that this child could actually perform on the Spring Festival Gala." Chen Liping still can't believe what she saw. Looking at the little girl on TV, she rubbed her eyes several times, marveling at her.
"What's so strange about this?" Ruan Jinguo raised his chin. "My niece will be even more successful in the future."
