Chapter 43 A Village Girl in the 1970s
Everyone felt sorry upon hearing this, and some even thought to say, "Why didn't her mother have more children, given that she could have such a good result?"
The person asking the question persisted: "Do you have any brothers?"
Her daughter is single too. If she finds a handsome man, her grandson will be good-looking too.
As for the fact that the other party is from the countryside, with the connection of Deputy Regiment Commander Xie, their own family will also help out, so the young couple's married life won't be too bad.
"Auntie, I only have one younger brother, but he's still young and in school."
Yao Yunzhen didn't hide anything and told her directly.
This information is all very basic; there's nothing shameful about their family. Rather than hiding it and constantly facing their probing questions, it's better to be open and honest.
"Sigh, okay."
She's still studying? That can't wait; her daughter is no longer a child.
"Alright, enough of that. I'm telling you, the Zhao family back there is causing trouble again..."
"Another incident? Tell me what happened!"
"..."
A group of people started gossiping about this and that.
These days, entertainment is scarce. Families with radios can listen to the radio in their spare time, but not every household has a radio.
After they finish their work, these people like to gather together to chat about everyday things and gossip.
Yao Yunzhen also immediately perked up her ears to listen.
Although she didn't know the people they were talking about, that didn't stop her from enjoying the spectacle.
While the other military wives were chatting, they were also secretly observing her.
Seeing that she didn't seem to mind and even listened with great interest, he finally felt relieved.
They were all ordinary people, but Yao Yunzhen looked like a celestial being, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns.
They were afraid that they wouldn't get along with her and wouldn't be able to visit her often or see her face up close.
That would be such a shame.
Fortunately, Yao Meizi is not that kind of person; she has a good personality and doesn't mind their vulgarity.
Amidst the casual conversation, Xu Manxiang quickly returned.
"Yunzhen, I've spoken with Commander Li, and she said you can give it a try. Let's go now."
"Huh? Now?"
Yes, now.
Yao Yunzhen panicked a little: "Should I change my clothes?"
"No need, you look great as you are, especially beautiful."
Actually, Yao Yunzhen's outfit wasn't casual either; she wore a light blue floral shirt with a white long skirt, looking both pretty and elegant.
Yao Yunzhen had never experienced these things before, so she was inevitably a little nervous.
Others laughed and said, "That's right, someone like you would look good even if you wore a burlap sack."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yunzhen felt relieved and calmed down.
She didn't say she wouldn't go, but Xu Manxiang made a special trip for her. If she said she wouldn't go, then she wouldn't go. Even the best-tempered person would get angry.
Xu Manxiang pulled Yao Yunzhen toward the cultural troupe, and the others followed behind, ready to watch the excitement.
Wang Qianqian naturally followed along.
No one understood the anxiety she felt at that moment.
If Yao Yunzhen really joined the performing arts troupe, is the future she dreamed of truly believable?
Such an outstanding person, who also worked in the same performing arts troupe, couldn't possibly have left no trace in her dreams.
But in fact, she didn't exist in her dream.
Wang Qianqian forcibly suppressed the irritability and unease in her heart.
She kept telling herself that what she dreamed of was real, a real future.
She had a precognitive dream one night two years ago, and subsequent events have confirmed that the dream was real.
This person was simply missed by the dream, yes, that's it.
After all, it was just a dream, and some flaws were inevitable.
Upon arriving at the cultural troupe, Xu Manxiang, familiar with the place, led Yao Yunzhen into a training room and said to the people waiting inside:
"Old Li, I've brought him here. Take a look and see if you're satisfied? Is he suitable to work in the cultural troupe?"
Commander Li was around forty years old. She was a rather serious-looking woman, exuding competence and with sharp, piercing eyes.
However, her eyes no longer had their former sharpness; instead, they were filled with a dazed look.
When Yao Yunzhen saw that the other person was looking at her, she quickly took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Commander Li."
"So? Did I not lie to you? Isn't Yunzhen exceptionally beautiful? In my opinion, she's more than capable of being the backbone of your group!"
Yao Yunzhen tugged at Xu Manxiang's sleeve.
"Auntie, please don't say that."
She knew that the people in the performing arts troupe were all very good at singing and dancing, while she herself had only sung military songs a few times in a group during her school days.
Xu Manxiang's loud voice startled Commander Li from his daze.
She never imagined that what Xu Manxiang called beautiful would actually be this beautiful.
She hadn't taken it seriously before, thinking it was just an exaggeration.
After all, as the head of the performing arts troupe, none of the girls and boys in her troupe were unattractive; even the most beautiful ones were just average.
Who knew that Xu Manxiang wasn't exaggerating; in fact, she was being too conservative.
It turns out there really are such beautiful people in this world, surpassing everything else, beyond description.
No amount of beautiful words can adequately describe her.
Looking at Yao Yunzhen, Commander Li's expression softened considerably.
"Your name is Yao Yunzhen, right? What are your skills?"
When the moment came, Yao Yunzhen lost her fear and straightened her back, saying, "I can sing."
"Then sing a song for us. Come on, stand in front."
"Can I sing anything?"
"Can."
Yunzhen stepped forward, her red lips parted slightly, and her melodious singing voice drifted out.
Her soft, ethereal voice flowed from her throat like a clear mountain stream.
At this moment, a trace of Yao Yunzhen's soul power seemed to leak out, penetrating her physical body.
She was like a night-blooming cereus, blooming serenely under the moonlight, her beauty captivating and melodious, weaving a magnificent auditory feast with her beautiful singing voice.
As if under a spell, everyone was completely captivated by her stunning beauty and dreamlike singing voice.
It wasn't until Yao Yunzhen stopped singing for a while that everyone gradually came to their senses.
But looking at Yao Yunzhen ahead, they hesitated and dared not approach.
What they just witnessed was so awe-inspiring; it was as if they had seen a goddess, or something that could bewitch people's hearts...
After a long while, Xu Manxiang finally spoke, praising:
"This, this sounds really good, better than anything I've ever heard before."
As her cheerful voice rang out, the tranquility of the room was broken, and the power exerted on everyone seemed to be broken as they joined in praising her.
"Yes, it sounds amazing."
"I dare say that when the cultural troupe performs in the future, those young men will be unable to take their eyes off it."
"It's not just the young men who can't take their eyes off it; we old women can't take our eyes off it either."
"Deputy Commander Xie is smart; he knew to marry her early."
"This song is even better than the one in the movie. I'm afraid I won't want to watch any more movies from now on. I'll only want to listen to Yunzhen's songs."
"Commander Li, how is it?"
Xu Manxiang nudged Commander Li with her shoulder, her eyes filled with certainty and pride.
