It gives off the vibe of a kindergarten teacher.
Ye Wanying took a deep breath and asked, "Sisters-in-law, you should all have seen what was posted, right?"
"I know, I know, I was the first one to see it."
"Yes, but can we really perform at the celebration party?"
Seeing her sisters-in-law looking at her curiously, Ye Wanying nodded: "Of course, sisters-in-law, remember that we also have a share in the men's military achievements, so of course we can participate."
"That's right. While the men are busy outside, we're not idle either. We're at home cooking, taking care of the kids, and serving the men all day long. We deserve a share of the military credit."
Immediately, the women began to sympathize, since they all lived similar lifestyles.
Ye Wanying was still a little embarrassed, knowing that she didn't even know the names of most of the women present: "Well, let's talk about it now, what talents do you women have?"
Talent?
A little embarrassed, everyone felt that many of them came from the countryside and didn't know what talents they could possibly have. These were things that only city girls knew.
Ye Wanying quickly realized what was going on and immediately added, "It's not just singing and dancing; things like telling jokes, writing on the blackboard, acrobatics, and so on are all fine."
Sure enough, the sisters-in-law all laughed when they heard this.
“Oh, I know a little bit of the Peking Opera ‘Stealing the Imperial Horse,’ would that work?” one of the women asked.
Ye Wanying nodded: "Sure, sister-in-law, how about you perform a piece right here?"
Military wives aren't usually petty; they're mostly the easygoing type. Hearing this, the woman stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll give you a little performance. Don't laugh, ladies. I learned it from an old man in our village; it's just an amateur thing."
Cough cough...
He cleared his throat.
"Ahem, alright, let's begin: Dou Erdun with the blue face steals the imperial horse, Guan Yu with the red face battles Changsha."
Dian Wei with a yellow face, Cao Cao with a white face, and Zhang Fei with a black face, all chattering away.
The purple Heavenly King holds up a pagoda, while the green demon fights a yaksha.
The golden monkey king, the silver monster, the gray elf—ha ha ha!
Towards the end, the notes were too high, and she couldn't catch her breath. After a while, the woman blushed and asked, "Is this okay? Is this okay?"
Before Ye Wanying could speak, the other sisters-in-law all agreed: "Great, great, you're doing it quite well."
"This is only one part, right? What's the rest?"
Then the sister-in-law said, "I'm just giving it a try. If you say it's good, I'll go back and practice some more."
Ye Wanying felt that Peking Opera was a national treasure, and performing a piece at the celebration party would definitely be good, and those old leaders would surely like it.
He immediately decided on the program: "Okay, sister-in-law, go back and practice more, then we'll finalize it."
The woman was very excited: "Oh my god, really? I was chosen?" She looked somewhat incredulous.
After being confirmed by those around her, the sister-in-law finally calmed down and accepted the fact.
After the first one, the second and third people also stepped forward very generously, but almost all of them sang songs, such as the national anthem, folk songs, and ballads.
Ye Wanying felt that the performing arts troupe would definitely have plenty of singing performances, so it would be redundant for the sisters-in-law to come as well, as it would feel like they were just playing supporting roles.
He asked, "Sisters-in-law, do you know anything else?"
