"The full moon shines on our hometown and the border. In the quiet night, you miss us, and so do I. I stay by the baby's cradle, while you patrol the motherland's border..."
The song is less than three minutes long, and what's most special is that it was created from the perspective of a soldier's wife. Moreover, to Li Qiaoyun's knowledge, this should be the only song written for a soldier's wife.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the older brother, who was not related to her husband by blood, and smiled, revealing her teeth: "Brother, this song is really good."
As soon as she finished speaking, applause rang out in the room, and Wenhui happily ran over to hug her father.
"Dad, you wrote this song? It's so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, Dad Chu, can I sing this song at the school's gala?"
“This won’t do. This song is for your mother, and it’s not appropriate for you to sing it at the school party! You should sing Childhood instead.”
"Ah, okay then!"
"Xiao Chu, when did you learn to write songs? I didn't know that!" Aunt Wang asked Li Chu in surprise.
"Hey, Auntie, I don't know how to write songs. I just write whatever comes to mind. If you really asked me to write, I couldn't write anything at all."
"No, no, no, you're being too modest. Your song is really good, especially the unique perspective. It's different from other songs performed by the military. Qiaoyun really got a good deal this time."
"Brother, thank you so much!" Li Qiaoyun also thanked him earnestly.
Li Chu waved his hand: "Alright, we're family, no need for formalities."
He paused for a moment and then continued, "But that's all I can do. You'll have to do the composing yourself. I'm an expert in sheet music and notation."
"What do you mean by that?" Li Qiaoyun asked in astonishment.
"Oh dear, my mom is so stupid. What Chu's father meant was that he doesn't understand the rest at all."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Qiaoyun tapped her on the head: "How come you're so disrespectful now? I think you should move back in with me so I can discipline you properly and save you from embarrassing me in public."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Wang Yueyue cried out, clutching her head. She stopped sitting in front of her mother and ran to her grandmother to complain. Then she sat down next to Li Wenxuan for comfort.
Watching them make a scene, Ding Qiunan sat down next to her husband and asked softly, "Is there anything you can't do?"
"I can't have children!"
“dUANG”
Very well, he followed in Wang Yueyue's footsteps and got a slap on the head from Ding Qiunan.
"Hahaha..." Wang Yueyue, who happened to see this scene, didn't care about her headache and burst into laughter like a goose.
Her magical laughter made everyone burst into laughter.
Ding Qiunan felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly picked up the water glass on the coffee table in front of her, said "I'll go get some water" and ran off.
Then the laughter in the living room grew even louder.
Wang Yueyue and Li Wenhui were laughing so hard they couldn't sit still and kept sliding to the ground.
After everyone finally calmed down, Li Chu took out paper and pen and wrote down the lyrics of the song he had just heard.
"As for the melody, I'll sing it for you a couple more times, and you can figure it out yourself," he said, handing the lyrics to Li Qiaoyun.
"Big brother, you and..." Li Qiaoyun was about to say, "Come to my room with me. I have an electronic keyboard there. Let's play a tune now," but she suddenly realized that this was inappropriate and quickly changed her words.
"Big brother, let me bring the keyboard down, let's start working on a piece now."
"Okay."
Li Chu turned to her son and said, "Wenxuan, go help your Qiaoyun's mother move the electronic keyboard."
"Okay, Dad. Qiaoyun, Mom, where's the electronic keyboard?"
"I know, I know, Brother Xuan, I'll take you. Mom, you don't need to go."
The afternoon passed by in this way, with Li Chu singing a line, Li Qiaoyun playing a line, and then writing and drawing on paper.
By dinner time, Li Qiaoyun was able to play the song completely on the electronic keyboard.
It's no wonder that it's someone else's profession; whether it's playing an instrument or singing, Li Chu is incomparable to them.
He believed that with this song, Li Qiaoyun could definitely join the song and dance troupe and become a well-known artist among the people.
That's fine. Once she becomes famous, someone will write songs for her, and then she won't have to worry about not having songs to sing.
After dinner, the group drove away. Seeing Aunt Wang's disappointed expression, Li Chu really wanted her to stay with him.
However, the thought of all the trouble he would cause made him abandon the idea.
Of course, even if he told her, Aunt Wang wouldn't move in with him. He had invited her before, but she had already refused because she thought it was too much trouble.
After dropping the three children off at their respective schools, Li Chu drove home slowly with his wife.
"Did you write this song specifically for Qiaoyun?" Ding Qiunan asked, turning her head to look at her husband from the passenger seat.
"Pretty much," Li Chu nodded. "When I was chatting with Junzi that time, he told me that Qiaoyun's biggest dream was to join a song and dance troupe. And now there's this song, so I believe that once she sings it, her dream will basically come true."
This is how we thank her for giving us such a well-behaved and lovely daughter-in-law.
"Haha, you got a daughter-in-law just by singing a song!"
"You can't say that. Even without this song, Yueyue is still our daughter-in-law. This song is just compensation at most."
He never imagined that anyone would dare to target this song.
If someone hadn't told Li Qiaoyun beforehand, someone else might have succeeded.
The rivalry between the two singers in the team, who had similar backgrounds, was something the publicity team leaders could only pretend not to see. But pretending not to see meant they were actually favoring the other singer.
Because this song was ultimately proposed by Li Qiaoyun.
In the end, it was someone from the song and dance troupe who noticed that the two singers were performing the same song. She took a closer look at the song and discovered that the lyricist and composer was also named Li Chu.
She found out after making inquiries that the song was actually given by a singer named Li Qiaoyun.
Li Qiaoyun and Li Chu are also in-laws through their children's marriage.
The woman in the dance troupe didn't know Li Chu, but her husband did, and they were close friends.
Her husband was the captain of the assault team that Li Chu and his team went to rescue Shen Jun and a few others last year.
It can be said that without this captain, Li Chu might not be alive, and without Li Chu, this captain might not be alive today.
