"Sister-in-law Lu, I heard that the capital is very lively, and there's even the old imperial palace. Can you tell us about it?"
“There’s a college student in our village. I heard he got into a university in Beijing.”
Jiang Yue talked with her sisters-in-law for more than an hour. After hearing Jiang Yue's introduction of Beijing, many of her sisters-in-law were quite excited.
"When my husband has a holiday, I must ask him to take me to Beijing. Then we can take a bus from Beijing back to our hometown."
That's what I'm planning to do too.
"When we go back to our hometown, if people ask us what Beijing is like, we can tell them."
Around 5 p.m., Lu Yu returned home.
The announcement also came over the loudspeaker that everyone should gather in the auditorium.
Lu Yu took Jiang Yue to the auditorium, which could accommodate two to three thousand people.
Lu Yu led Jiang Yue to their seats, and Jiang Yue chatted with the women next to her. After a while, the music started playing, and everyone quieted down.
The hosts came out onto the stage, and the Lantern Festival Gala officially began.
Listening to the host's enthusiastic opening remarks and watching the show on stage, Jiang Yue felt very happy.
After watching the program for an hour, the Lantern Festival Gala came to an end.
Jiang Yue and Lu Yu went to the cafeteria. The cafeteria was already prepared, with several dishes laid out on the table, as well as a charcoal hot pot, sunflower seeds, peanuts, and other snacks.
Jiang Yue sat together with several of her sisters-in-law.
"Today's show was really good."
"I never expected the military to hold such a program for the Lantern Festival."
"We are so lucky."
Hearing her sisters-in-law's happy words, Jiang Yue was also in a very good mood. She had been to her father's place before and participated in similar events, but the feeling then was different from the feeling now.
Jiang Yue felt that today's food was exceptionally delicious.
While eating, Jiang Yue heard a commotion not far away. She looked up and was stunned when she saw the group of leaders.
Walking at the front were her father-in-law and Uncle Qin.
How did they get here?
Jiang Yue immediately understood.
This special forces brigade is also under the Army, and Mr. Lu and Uncle Qin are the leaders in this area.
"Greetings, Commander."
The soldiers and their wives were thrilled to see the leaders approaching.
They had met the brigade leader in the year or so they had been there, but this was the first time they had met an officer of higher rank than the brigade leader.
Mr. Lu looked at these people with a smile and said.
"Comrades, good day! Make sure you all eat and drink well today..."
Uncle Qin also said a few words.
Mr. Lu's gaze turned to Jiang Yue.
"Little Jiang."
"Greetings, Commander."
When he heard his daughter-in-law call him "commander," Mr. Lu's smile widened.
Are you settling in well here?
"Thank you for your concern, sir. It's nothing new."
Mr. Lu hummed in agreement and picked up his teacup.
Jiang Yue also picked up her teacup and clinked glasses with Mr. Lu.
Uncle Qin also came over with a wine glass, and said a few words to Jiang Yue with a smile.
Seeing that several leaders had gone to the next table, the women's eyes turned to Jiang Yue.
"Sister-in-law Lu, do you know these two high-ranking officials?"
Hearing their words, Jiang Yue spoke up.
"I've met you."
When Yang's wife and Qian's wife heard her words, they were all somewhat shocked.
Good heavens, what's Lu's background? She's even met such a high-ranking leader.
"Sister-in-law Lu, aren't you nervous talking to such a high-ranking leader?"
