Chapter 52: Let Comrade Chen Jintao give us a
The snacks were all placed on the table, filling up. The happiest ones were of course the children, they were all very happy. They usually couldn't eat like this.
It was the first time for Chen Jintao to participate in such an activity in the army. She found it quite novel and interesting, and she had a great time chatting with the sisters-in-law.
After a while, the soldiers lined up and walked towards the training ground, and Shen Jintao's eyes were involuntarily attracted to them.
They are all tall and long-legged soldiers, and their movements are in unison, which is simply a beautiful landscape.
"Tsk tsk tsk, my man doesn't seem that great on normal days, but now he looks handsome!" Huang Xiuru couldn't help but sigh, and her words made everyone laugh.
The military wives are all beautiful and the military brothers are tall and straight. Even though they are in two different areas, they are as harmonious as a beautiful painting.
The first thing that started was the commendation meeting. All those who had made contributions were commended, either praised or promoted. Shen Jintao also watched it with great interest.
Soon it was Huo Beichuan's turn to go on stage. The division commander personally changed his epaulettes. From then on, he was no longer Battalion Commander Huo, but Deputy Regiment Commander Huo.
After the commander finished his speech, everyone applauded. Shen Jintao also applauded with everyone, and her eyes never left Huo Beichuan.
Even though the two of them were still quite far apart, Huo Beichuan still saw the person he wanted to see. The corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up, and he looked a lot gentler.
"Tsk tsk, Deputy Regiment Commander Huo is really amazing. We haven't heard of someone promoted to the regimental level at such a young age in our army for many years. His future is probably limitless. No wonder Liu Wanzhi wants to be with him so much. Who doesn't like such a good man?"
"Hush! Don't say that. Deputy Captain Huo's wife is at the table next to us. Don't let anyone hear it, or they'll misunderstand."
"Hey... I didn't say anything, why are you making a big deal out of it? But I heard that his wife is not an ordinary person either. She graduated from high school and passed the school's assessment this afternoon. She will be a formal teacher in the future. The two of them are a perfect match."
“…”
Qian Mingfang smiled and looked at Chen Jintao, "These people are just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. Speaking of that matter, your old Huo was not vague at all. He reported it directly to the commander, then packed up and went back. When he came back, he brought you with him. He was very responsible."
Shen Jintao nodded, "I also like his personality."
"Oh, these newlyweds are just different. I can't say such things now. Sometimes I feel annoyed when I see my husband." A military wife ate melon seeds with a smile.
"Try this snail made by Xiao Shen. It's delicious, but a little spicy. But why would I want to eat it when it's so spicy?"
A sister-in-law who can't eat spicy food ate the seafood made by Chen Jintao and her face turned red from the spiciness. But the taste was so tempting that she wanted to keep eating it after she had it.
"Sister Shen's cooking skills are really amazing. In my opinion, even if she can't work in the school, she can still be a chef in a state-owned restaurant. At worst, she can work in our army canteen!" Huang Xiuru praised.
Shen Jintao covered her mouth and laughed, "Before coming to the army, I worked in a state-owned restaurant, but I feel a little tired."
"Really?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the sisters-in-law were once again full of admiration.
The soldiers and their families did not sit together. Apart from the commendation meeting, the next thing was a social gathering. The art troupe was there, and the programs were overwhelming.
After Liu Wanzhi was expelled from the art troupe, the mainstay was replaced by a very beautiful girl with two big pigtails that were very characteristic of that era. She was wearing a green military uniform, which made people feel friendly.
This girl might not be the best looking, but she has good skin, big eyes and a baby face. But her singing is different. She sang a red song so passionately that the audience couldn't help but get excited along with her.
In addition to the performances of the art troupe, some soldiers also performed on stage. Of course, they are not professionals, and we cannot demand too much from them. As long as they are acceptable, it's fine.
"The military wives in the city will be performing on stage later!" Qian Mingfang suddenly said.
"Ah? Why didn't I hear the wind?"
Huang Xiuru considered herself to be a know-it-all in the family compound, but she had never heard of this news. Those women must have kept it a secret so well.
"I just found out about this today. Hey, just wait and see. We might have to perform later. It's annoying just thinking about it. They are really scheming and have rehearsed it long ago."
Chen Jintao felt that performing on stage was their own business, and it shouldn't implicate the wives of soldiers from the countryside, right? She just wanted to watch the fun quietly.
Can……
Qian Mingfang really knew the military wives in that group. They were performing a chorus, and no one knew where they got the red fans with red cloth hanging on the heads. They sang and waved the fans to the music. It was a really eye-catching show.
"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Jiaojiao, the wife of the commander of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment. Our show is definitely not as good as the one performed by the art troupe, but can you please give us all a warm round of applause?"
A military wife named Liu Jiaojiao stood in the C position. She started talking after the performance. After she finished speaking, she opened her palms and placed them next to her ears. As she wished, she received thunderous applause.
"We are just joining in the fun today. We would be very happy if everyone likes our show. However, there are still many military wives who haven't participated. What do you think? Should we ask them to perform for us?"
Liu Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly fell on Chen Jintao. "I heard that Deputy Headmaster Huo's wife is a high school graduate. She is very pretty and must be a good singer. Otherwise, how about asking Comrade Chen Jintao to find one for us?"
"Hmm?" Qian Mingfang frowned and looked at Liu Jiaojiao, "Why is she targeting our sister Shen?"
Huang Xiuru rolled her eyes. "Have you forgotten? This Liu Jiaojiao is Liu Wanzhi's cousin. She probably wants to vent her anger on her cousin. These girls from the Liu family are really annoying one after another!"
Chen Jintao was suddenly called out and was a little confused. After Liu Jiaojiao finished speaking, some thick-skinned soldiers cheered loudly. They guessed that this person just wanted to make her unable to back down.
Liu Jiaojiao kept pursuing, "Comrade Chen Jintao, could you please perform for us?"
Shen Jintao smiled and said, "But I can't sing."
A hint of laughter appeared in Liu Jiaojiao's eyes. He was indeed a bumpkin. "Just give a casual performance. We are not professionals, and no one will laugh at you, right?"
"Okay then!" Chen Jintao stood up confidently. She was also wearing a green military uniform today, and her hair was also in a big braid, but it was a fishbone braid, which looked very different and indescribably beautiful.
