Zhou Hongying and the others were somewhat bewildered by the enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Did they succeed?
"Get down quickly."
The performers playing Japanese soldiers in the cultural troupe saw them standing still and waved to them.
Everyone realized what was happening and quickly ran off the stage.
Du Ruofang walked over with a smile: "You acted very well, very successfully."
"Commander Du, is this true?" Yao Yurong still couldn't believe it.
"It's true." Du Ruofang nodded.
Everyone cheered; they had really done it.
"Alright, you guys go rest and have something to eat first. You'll be going on stage to give a thank-you speech later," Du Ruofang said after letting them chatter for a while.
Everyone was still very excited.
Yan Qingxue found it extremely annoying and shouted, "You guys are so noisy!"
Everyone glanced at her and recognized her: the daughter of Political Commissar Yan, and a pillar of the performing arts troupe.
Seeing that she was very unhappy, they had no choice but to lower their voices.
Outside.
Ran Jinnian held Lu Jinyuan's hand, her heart filled with excitement: "Husband, my sister-in-law and the others did it."
"They are great, but you are even better."
Lu Jinyuan didn't watch much of the earlier performances, but he watched the play very attentively.
The revolutionary stories were very meaningful, and the music was very well-matched. Although the women's performances were not professional, they were all very genuine.
Everything is very good.
Ran Jin blinked her eyelashes and said, "What's so great about me?"
"Ahem." Xiao Haili coughed lightly. "You two should be mindful of your behavior."
Ran Jinnian's face turned red.
The Mid-Autumn Festival gala ended at 9:30.
Everyone performing tonight will go on stage to give a thank you.
As a pillar of the performing arts troupe, Yan Qingxue stood at the front with her head held high, waiting for the leaders' praise.
After the leaders went on stage, they symbolically shook hands with a few people: "Thank you for your hard work tonight."
"It's not hard work."
Everyone answered.
"You are family members, right?" The leaders' gazes fell on Zhou Hongying and the others.
Everyone was surprised that they would be singled out by the leader, and they were all very excited.
Seeing that no one spoke, Du Ruofang immediately stood up and said, "Hello, leaders, they are family members of our military region."
"As military families, you are the strongest logistical support for soldiers. Your performance tonight showed us your unity and hard work. You are exceptionally outstanding." Committee Member Wang of the Central Military Commission was very satisfied.
Everyone's faces turned red with excitement. Good heavens, they never expected to be praised by the top leader one day.
Yan Qingxue: "..."
She was expecting praise, but she didn't expect it to come from this group of women.
She almost cried.
"Thank you for your recognition, leader. We will definitely work even harder." Zhou Hongying said, her mind clearing immediately when she saw Du Ruofang giving her meaningful glances.
Committee Member Wang nodded in satisfaction.
“Come on, let’s take a group photo,” said Wang’s secretary.
The leaders stood on the stage and took a group photo.
Everyone was very excited. They never thought they would be able to take a photo with a high-ranking leader in their lifetime. This was something they could say they would never forget.
After the photo session, tonight's performance will be completely over.
The leaders were the first to leave.
"There are too many people now, let's wait a while before we leave." Seeing everyone rushing out, Lu Jinyuan pulled his wife along without moving.
Ran Jinnian looked at the densely packed crowd; she wasn't in a hurry.
Half an hour later.
As the number of people in the auditorium gradually decreased, Lu Jinyuan led Ran Jinnian out.
As soon as the young couple went outside, they met everyone who had been waiting for them.
"Jin Nian".
