Several people discussed Xu Zhaodi's performance.
Yang Liqiu said: "What should we do with the list of performers? We are not cut out for this.
I think Feng Xiujuan is right. Why don’t we let Xu Zhaodi do it?
By then, she will definitely have a solution."
Someone nearby said, "I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate. We haven't discussed this with anyone yet."
Yang Liqiu said, "She works in the restaurant all day, leaving early and returning late. We want to discuss something with her, but we don't see her often."
The people standing by thought the same.
After discussing it, they decided to report Xu Zhaodi's name.
Xu Zhaodi doesn’t know yet.
The weather is getting cooler and the leaves of the poplar trees on both sides of the road have begun to turn yellow.
On this day, Xu Zhaodi was on her way home from get off work when she met Chen Jianguo who had come to pick her up.
Chen Jianguo was worried that Xu Zhaodi would catch a cold, so he brought a coat with him.
Chen Jianguo asked, "When did you sign up for the National Day Arts Festival? Why didn't I hear you mention it?"
Xu Zhaodi sat on the rear rack of the bicycle, with one arm around Chen Jianguo's waist and the other hand protecting the cloth bag on her knees, which contained a half-knitted sweater for Chen Jianguo.
Xu Zhaodi didn't hear clearly at first.
"What did you say?"
"I asked you when you signed up for the National Day Arts Festival."
"I didn't report it. I don't know when it happened."
Chen Jianguo was riding his bicycle, and he nodded and said, "You said you don't know?
This time, the performance requires the family compound to perform a program. The list of performers has been posted, and you are the only one who has signed up from the family compound."
Xu Zhaodi was speechless. Without thinking too much, she must have been tricked again this time.
Xu Zhaodi said: "I didn't hear anything. It must be some wicked person who secretly reported my name."
The only person Xu Zhaodi could think of was Feng Xiujuan.
In the whole compound, she is the only one who is so wicked.
Chen Jianguo squeezed the brakes on his bicycle, propped his long legs on the ground, and asked, "Could it be Feng Xiujuan again?"
"How would I know? Let's go first and talk about it later.
Can you find a way to remove it? I don't know how to do anything, and it would only embarrass me if I went up there."
"Then I'll think of a way."
Chen Jianguo knew that his daughter-in-law only graduated from elementary school, didn't know many words, and sometimes couldn't even sing. She would probably be really nervous on such a big holiday as National Day.
No one spoke as the two walked toward the compound.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the compound, Zhao Erdan said with a smile: "Captain, sister-in-law, you are here."
Xu Zhaodi was in a bad mood and just nodded lightly.
After Chen Jianguo registered, the two walked towards the compound.
It was getting dark at this time, and the women in the compound were chatting and laughing.
"Why is Xu Zhaodi the representative of our compound? Can she do it?"
"How would we know? She can do anything, so she can definitely perform."
"Who among you gave the bad idea?"
Yang Liqiu said: "When the labor union pressed for a list of names during those days, she was not there, so her name was written on it."
"Didn't you inform anyone?"
Yang Liqiu said dissatisfiedly: "What you said, there were several people there at the time, and they all insisted on recommending her. This is her business, can we harm her?
I think she is so capable, there is nothing she can't do."
Before Yang Liqiu could say anything, the person next to her kept winking at her, but Yang Liqiu didn't react.
When she reacted and looked up, she saw Xu Zhaodi standing behind them with a sullen face.
Yang Liqiu's heart tightened and she smiled awkwardly.
"Sister-in-law, you are here. Have you eaten?"
Xu Zhaodi twitched the corners of her lips and smiled quietly.
"What are you discussing? It sounds like it has something to do with me. I just came here, why don't you tell me about it."
Yang Liqiu's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Sister-in-law, you were away a while ago, and the team asked us to put on a show. None of us have any talent, and you're the only one in the entire compound who's smart and skilled, so we signed up for your name."
Xu Zhaodi sneered: "Is that so, whoever reported it can go by yourselves.
There are nurses and teachers in this compound, any one of them is better than me. You are treating me like a weakling, right?
When you signed me up, did you ask for my opinion? "
Xu Zhaodi said it directly to her face. She never liked to hide things or beat around the bush when doing things.
Yang Liqiu's face turned pale. She didn't expect Xu Zhaodi to not give her any face at all.
Yang Liqiu bit her lips tightly, and after a long while she said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
Xu Zhaodi said: "Will saying sorry be of any use?
If I'm sorry, what else do I need the police for? "
Chen Jianguo looked at the women on the sidelines and didn't care. Someone looked at Chen Jianguo with a sad face and said, "Captain Chen, we are really doing this for your wife. Please try to persuade them. We are all neighbors. Don't make trouble over such a small matter."
Chen Jianguo had no intention of intervening.
"Don't tell me, I really can't control this matter, my wife is the head of our family.
This is a matter between you two, and it's not appropriate for me, a grown man, to butt in.
Besides, I think my wife is right about this matter."
Hearing Chen Jianguo say this, Xu Zhaodi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, this guy supports me unconditionally.
They looked at each other and thought this was really embarrassing.
The same goes for Chen Jianguo. Now his wife is riding on his neck and controlling him, and he, a grown man, doesn't do anything about it.
Yang Liqiu said: "Sister-in-law, if you don't want to go, forget it. Things have come to this, and there is nothing we can do."
Seeing that she had no sincere attitude to apologize, Xu Zhaodi snorted coldly and said, "No way? You have a way to write my name, but you have no way to perform on the show?
Whoever writes the name should play the role himself. "
She left these words coldly and turned away.
Chen Jianguo carried the bicycle upstairs and returned the bicycle to Zhang Qingdong.
As soon as Xu Zhaodi came in, she sat down at the table angrily.
Chen Jianguo came in from behind and said, "I will go talk to the political commissar about this tomorrow.
Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Don't bother. It's just a performance. Do you really think I'm incapable of it?"
Chen Jianguo's eyes lit up, and he looked a little expectant as he asked, "What are you going to perform?"
Xu Zhaodi said irritably, "I don't know yet."
"It's okay. You can think about it slowly. There are still ten days left. If it doesn't work out, we won't go then."
Xu Zhaodi glared at Chen Jianguo and said, "I won't be a deserter.
They just want to laugh at me, but I won't let them succeed.
Just wait and see, you won’t be disappointed.”
Chen Jianguo looked at her with a smile, and her angry look was really rare.
While Xu Zhaodi was not paying attention, Chen Jianguo gave her a kiss on the face. Xu Zhaodi made an irritable sound and glared at him with disgust.
Chen Jianguo didn't mind at all and smiled invitingly with the corners of his eyes curved.
