"By the way, Xiao Chu, what song were you talking to Qiaoyun about singing? What song was it?"
"I'll hum a couple of lines for you to hear. If you think it's okay, you can talk to the higher-ups about it later."
"Okay, you can do it." Uncle Wang's face showed interest.
This nephew always surprises him from time to time. His eldest daughter-in-law's success today is entirely due to his support.
Moreover, since the songs sung by the eldest daughter-in-law were all military songs, they were very popular with the higher-ups, especially the old comrades who had retired to the second line, who would praise her every time they saw her.
This made Uncle Wang a little embarrassed.
He understood that this wasn't due to his eldest daughter-in-law's skill, but rather because the songs his nephew had given him were good; with so many singers in the troupe, anyone could have succeeded.
But just like Li Chu casually giving a song to Li Qiaoyun, he wouldn't care, Uncle Wang wouldn't care either, and their relationship doesn't need to be concerned about this.
"Cough cough..."
The little river meanders southward, flowing all the way to Hong Kong for a visit.
Pearl of the Orient, my love, does your charm and romance still remain?
...
For five thousand years, the sea breeze has carried your love, and every tear seems to speak of your dignity.
May the ocean tides accompany me to bless you; please don't forget my eternally unchanging yellow face.
Li Chu hummed the first half of it, and then he saw Uncle Wang sitting there with a frown, not saying a word.
"Xiao Chu, do you think I'll live that long?"
"Uncle, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Nonsense, tell me what I want to hear?"
"I guarantee you can take a car to the other side and see for yourself."
Suddenly, Uncle Wang, whose gaze had been somewhat unfocused, fixed his gaze on Li Chu.
"Xiao Chu, you are a soldier now. You should know that there is no joking in the military."
"Uncle, I know your body better than you do. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you will be able to take a car to the other side by yourself on that day."
"Hahaha... Who else have you ever promised that to?"
"Uncle Wu," Li Chu said with a mournful face, "but he's not very obedient. I have to go over and supervise him from time to time. It's so hard for me."
Just the two of us?
"That won't do. There's also Aunt Wu, Uncle Shen, and those old comrades from the Advisory Committee."
When he mentioned that person, he gestured westward with his arm raised.
"You've had a tough time, kid. These are all people who work like their lives depend on it." Uncle Wang patted Li Chu on the shoulder.
My Healing Game
"Uncle, you still remember that? Can't you be a little more understanding of me?"
"I'll go to the Advisory Committee next year."
Li Chu looked at Uncle Wang with suspicion, his eyes clearly showing disbelief.
"Really?"
"What do you think this is, something you can joke about?"
"Uncle, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant," Li Chu quickly waved his hand.
"What I was trying to say was, did you all plan this out? Why are you all planning to join the advisory committee next year?"
"You mean your Aunt Wu and Lao Chen, right?"
"yes"
"It wasn't exactly a mutual agreement, we just felt we should make room for the younger generation."
“If you all retire, my job will be much easier. Otherwise, I’m always on edge, especially you and Aunt Wu, who go to the grassroots level every day without me.”
"Stop complaining. After the meeting next spring, the three of us should come down together."
"I truly hope that all of you old comrades can live to be a hundred years old."
"The decision is yours!" Uncle Wang said cheerfully.
"You flatter me too much. If I were that capable, would I still be sitting here?"
"So what, you want to fly to the heavens?"
"Of course! I have that ability, I can go anywhere! Even the King of Hell is my sworn brother."
Seeing that he was getting more and more out of control, Uncle Wang smiled and pointed at him.
"Teach that song to Qiaoyun, and I'll figure out the rest."
"Alright, don't worry, Qiaoyun's singing ability is top-notch, she definitely won't slack off."
"Let's go, let's chat a bit more in the backyard before we rest."
"Please go ahead, I'll write out the lyrics."
...
Three days passed in a flash, and the night before Wenxuan's wedding, the house was bustling with noise.
People who wanted to help had already arrived. Seeing so many people in the house, Li Chu had no choice but to tie up the dogs in the backyard.
I was thinking of keeping one or two, but then I thought better of it, so that the other ones wouldn't think their owner was being biased.
The dogs, who had never been leashed since birth, were really suffering. Seeing their pitiful appearance, Li Chu almost softened and let them go.
But there are several strangers coming from ahead. If the dogs are in front, it will be difficult for those people to move around and help with chores. We can't expect him or his wife to watch over the dogs all by themselves.
With a heavy heart, Li Chu turned around and returned to the Central Courtyard.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang went back yesterday, and Wang Yueyue will be leaving from their place tomorrow.
Fortunately, several of Yueyue's close girlfriends lived in that courtyard; otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to go in and keep her company.
Just like the friends who will accompany Wenxuan to pick up his bride tomorrow, Li Chu handed over their photos to the guard company there yesterday.
"Xiao Chu, come here!"
As soon as I entered the courtyard, Li Qin, who was sitting at the stone table, called me over.
"What's wrong, sis?"
"Have you made a deal with Old Wang at the alley entrance? He'll be making three large steamers of buns first thing tomorrow morning."
"It's all set. I even went over this morning to remind you again. It's all set."
Where's the bicycle?
"They're all in the front yard, fifteen in total. Three more came over from the other side when we came back."
Li Qin sat there asking questions, and she would mark each one on her small notebook, just in case she missed one.
"Have you prepared all the gifts I'm taking tomorrow?"
"All four items are in Wenxuan's house. No, the pork is in the basement. I'm afraid it will spoil if we leave it outside."
"Yes, I've prepared all the red envelopes, right? Bring plenty, so you don't make a fool of yourself when you go."
"Don't worry, it's all installed. Qiu Nan gave me five hundred yuan in new bills."
"Besides Wenxuan and his friends, who will go with him tomorrow?"
“Wenxuan’s uncle, Jianguo went with him, and all the red envelopes are with him.”
Li Qin asked about everything in great detail, and if Li Chu didn't know something, he quickly asked someone else.
"Sister, don't worry too much. We've already made arrangements. Just follow the steps one by one. It's going to be a mess anyway, as long as things go as planned, it'll be fine."
"Nonsense!" Li Qin glared at her younger brother with dissatisfaction. "This is a major event for our Li family. How can it be so ambiguous?"
"Sigh, if my parents were still here, they would be so happy they could see their back teeth."
As she spoke, Li Qin's eyes reddened.
Li Chu quickly went over and sat down next to his sister, putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Sister, Father and Mother can see it."
