Chapter 939 Battlefield Labor Corps (Second update, please subscribe)
"Sister-in-law, this is your chance, your chance to make a comeback!"
Cheng Gongjie, who used to serve in the military, lives not far from here. They are not only neighbors but also friends. He used to be a subordinate of Si Dongjie, Christina's husband. If he hadn't injured his waist accidentally during training, he would probably still be serving in the military.
Of course, that's why he knew how beautiful the sister-in-law's singing was, and that's why he recommended her to the president.
"Gongjie, I haven't been on stage for several years, and I haven't thought about it, you know..."
Looking at her daughter who was practicing the piano, Christina thought for a moment and said.
"As a woman, it is my responsibility to take care of my family at home. Besides, your eldest brother is in the West African Legion now, and the children always need someone to take care of them."
Comeback!
Comeback again!
In the past few years, she would occasionally have such thoughts, but when she chose to marry Si Dongjie, who was a sergeant at the time, she had already made up her mind - to be a good wife and a good mother.
Maybe she likes music, but she loves her family more. As for singing, that was before she got married. Now nothing is more important than her family.
As for paying it forward again, she had never really considered it.
"It's just a few days. It's a holiday now, ma'am. The soldiers on the front line are fighting for the empire. We are in the rear and we have to do something. I think if the commander is here, he won't object."
Chen Yangsheng also followed suit.
"And from the perspective of Madam's career, this performance will also help her return to the stage. After all, our Ming Dynasty is not only economically developed, but also music and other arts are deeply loved by the people. Music has penetrated into thousands of households."
In the past, people could only listen to live music in places like opera houses and pubs. But a few years ago, with the emergence of record players and records, everything changed. Although record players were not cheap, they gradually entered thousands of households.
The corresponding music also became popular among ordinary people. With just a record, one could listen to the best bands and the best singers.
"If Madam can make a comeback, everyone will be able to listen to Madam's heavenly voice again."
"President Chen, thank you for your compliment."
"Madam, this is not only your career, but also the desire of the soldiers on the front line!"
Faced with President Chen's persuasion, Christina turned her gaze to her little daughter who was playing in the yard outside the house. Looking at the child, she said.
"President Chen, I am already a mother of five children. I don't really have any idea of making a comeback? Going back to the stage. Besides, I like my life now. Isn't it a woman's duty to take care of her husband and children?"
"Sister-in-law, isn't it that my brother always loves to listen to your singing? If you make a comeback, there will definitely be a record company willing to make a film for you. Then, my brother will be able to hear your singing even if he is in Africa."
Compared to any comeback or desire, Cheng Gongjie's persuasion was more touching. Thinking of her husband who was on an expedition in Africa, Christina suddenly had no reason to resist.
Yes, if there was a record, he could hear himself singing in the front, which seems to be good!
After being persuaded by the president of the USO, Christina finally agreed. After arranging for the child, she went to the front line with the battlefield comfort group to comfort the officers and soldiers on the front line.
In order to express condolences to frontline officials before the New Year, the military even dispatched several airships to transport the condolence delegation to the front line at the urging of the Labor Union. After all, airships are the fastest.
There were no soldiers in the Ming Dynasty whose main occupation was dancing and singing. As for the performance teams, they were all domestic song and dance troupes, drama troupes and other literary and artistic societies. Although there were many stars in the consolation group, Christina still attracted the attention of many reporters.
"It is the responsibility of all of us to visit the front lines to comfort the soldiers fighting bravely!"
When she was about to board the airship at the airport, Christina answered the reporters' questions in fluent Chinese.
Eight years ago, she was the most famous singer in Buenos Aires, a guest of honor at high society balls, and a distinguished guest that politicians and generals vied to invite.
Likewise, she is the dream lover of writers and poets. They will write poems and compose songs for her. They are willing to be driven by her.
During the invasion of the Yugoslav Army, she also visited the front line to comfort the Argentine troops.
Someone even wrote a song called "Argentina's Fury" specifically for her...
However, all this is in the past. Now, she is the wife of Si Dongjie, a major in the Ming Empire Army, and the mother of five children.
And now, she is on stage again, singing for the soldiers as a military wife.
“I hope they can accept themselves!”
Although it was a novelty to take an airship for the first time, she was thinking about what song to sing along the way. She even had to pick up a pen and translate many Spanish songs into Chinese, and then sing them over and over in her heart.
In fact, Christina has not sung many Chinese songs, but she still relies on her personal talent to translate the songs she is good at into Chinese.
Christina also came to the front line. Although she was not as famous as movie actors and did not have the unrestrained and seductive dance of singers and dancers, her singing voice was beautiful and pleasant to the ear.
Whether she sang in Spanish or Chinese, when her singing finished, the soldiers would applaud loudly and cheer for her. This long-lost scene was indeed unforgettable. However, every time the performance ended, the only things she missed in her heart were her children and her husband far away in Africa.
Wherever she arrived at a place, while singing for the soldiers, she would also work with other actresses to mend clothes for them. This was completely no different from ordinary military wives.
The week-long front-line tour and condolences finally ended before the Chinese New Year. Christina finally set out on her journey home. As her airship slowly took off, she saw from the air that the ground brigade seemed to have already started to move.
The army once again moved toward the front.
"It seems the army is on the move!"
The people in the airship also noticed the movement on the ground. They looked out of the portholes and saw the thousands of troops moving on the ground. They didn't know that just a few hours ago, the Imperial Army General Staff issued the final order - to enter Rio to celebrate the New Year!
There are only two updates today... I hope to return to normal soon!
