Cheng Jingmo told Xiaojie about this matter on the afternoon of the day he received Yu Xiangnian's call.
The two men, one big and one small, began a new round of waiting, hoping that Yu Xiangnian would come home soon.
They waited until the evening of July 31st, but still didn't see a single person. Without saying a word, the two of them went back to their room and went to sleep with their heads down.
The good mood of the past few days was gone on this night.
On the evening of August 1st, the military district held a social evening party.
This event only happens once a year, and the military families all start dressing up in the afternoon, accompanying their men and children to participate in such activities.
Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie walked towards the auditorium. Both of them were in low spirits and no one spoke.
Cheng Jingmo was really angry today.
I said I would be back home before August 1st, but today is already August 1st and I’m not home yet!
On the way, the military families looked at the tall and short figures and whispered to each other.
"Isn't that evil woman going to attend? Why is she meeting these two men?"
"I haven't seen that evil woman for a long time. Could she be divorced?"
"Haven't you heard? She left with a man not long ago, carrying a suitcase, and left early in the morning! Many people in the family compound saw it!"
"She ran off with another man?! So, they're definitely getting divorced this time!"
The man next to him heard his women talking about others behind their backs again and glared at them.
Several women shut their mouths at the same time.
On the night when Yu Xiangnian gave a speech in front of everyone on the playground, every man went home and warned his women not to gossip or spread rumors in the future!
In the auditorium, members of the art troupe were performing, and there was constant laughter and joy on and off the stage.
Cheng Jingmo stared at the stage expressionlessly throughout the entire performance, but he paid no attention to what was being performed there, as if he were an outsider.
The curtain was drawn again and then slowly opened.
The melodious sound of the accordion rang out, causing a commotion in the audience. Cheng Jingmo's silent and deep pupils suddenly dilated.
On the stage, Yu Xiangnian stood there with her hair tied behind her head, wearing a white dress. The colorful lights on the stage shone on her, making her look hazy, like a floating fairy.
Cheng Jingmo looked at the figure he hadn't seen for a long time and even forgot to breathe.
She is always so dazzling that everything pales in comparison to her.
Xiao Jie excitedly tugged at his clothes, "My aunt! My aunt is back!"
Yu Xiangyang also excitedly nudged him with his elbow, "Look, Nian Nian!"
Yu Xiangnian slowly raised the microphone, and his ethereal voice echoed in the auditorium.
The audience suddenly fell silent. Her singing was so penetrating that Cheng Jingmo felt his heartbeat become uncontrollable.
He stared at the person on the stage intently. Suddenly, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then his eyes suddenly became hot again.
At this moment, he was surprised and delighted!
She's back!
She always makes his mood soar high when it hits the lowest point.
Cheng Jingmo felt an impulse at this moment. He wanted to hold the person in his arms, hug her tightly, and not let anyone look at her.
Everyone in the audience was captivated, their eyes all focused on Yu Xiangnian.
Ding Yunfei was among them. Ever since Yu Xiangnian appeared on the stage, his eyes had never left her.
Yu Xiangnian was so elegant and charming tonight, and her every frown and smile touched his heart.
He couldn't calm down for a long time and wanted to possess the person for himself.
After the song ended, Qiu Yang retreated behind the scenes with his accordion on his back.
Yu Xiangnian smiled and said, "I would like to thank the military district leaders for giving me the opportunity to speak on stage."
"As a military family member, I'm proud of my husband. Soldiers are the greatest people in the world, defending their country with selfless dedication. On this special day, on behalf of all military families, I want to say to you: Rest assured, you can defend your country. We are your solid backing and we await your safe return home! Thank you!"
Yu Xiangnian bowed and walked off the stage. Prolonged applause rang out in the auditorium, which was much more enthusiastic than the performance of the art troupe just now.
In just a few words, he expressed the true feelings of all the family members and deeply moved the soldiers present!
Watching the figure on the stage disappear, Cheng Jingmo's soul seemed to be taken away.
He wanted to rush out to find Yu Xiangnian, but the thought was suppressed again.
He kept telling himself: This is not appropriate!
Throughout the entire night, he had only a deep memory of Xiang Nian's program, and had no recollection of the other programs.
As soon as the party ended, he pulled Xiaojie and the two of them couldn't wait to rush home and did not participate in the subsequent interactive programs.
The family compound was completely quiet; those people had not returned yet.
They saw from a distance that the lights at the door of their house were on, and the lights in their hearts were also lit.
When I got home, Yu Xiangnian was packing up.
In fact, she returned to Nancheng this morning, but she deliberately did not go home in order to give Cheng Jingmo a surprise.
She asked Yu Xiangyang to ask the military district leaders for an opportunity to give her a performance.
The military district leaders are eager for these family members to perform on stage, firstly to liven up the atmosphere, and secondly to set an example for the military families so that they can actively participate in such activities in the future.
The military district leaders agreed readily.
Yu Xiangnian spent the entire afternoon dressing up, making sure even her hair was beautiful. She practiced with Qiu Yang a few times before going on stage to perform.
"You're back?"
"Aunt, are you back?"
Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie said in unison. Yu Xiangnian turned around and smiled brightly, "Hmm! Are you surprised?"
Cheng Jingmo, Xiaojie, "..."
Yu Xiangnian felt a little disappointed when he saw that the two of them didn't look surprised.
She pulled a box of blocks from the box behind her and handed it to Xiaojie, "This is for you."
He took out another pen and handed it to Cheng Jingmo, "This is yours."
She spread out her palm, revealing the interwoven lines of her palms, and the black pen was on her palm.
Cheng Jingmo reached out and picked up the pen. His knuckles accidentally touched Yu Xiangnian's palm, and it was like an electric current running through his body.
"Thank you." He withdrew his hand, his ears burning. "Did you close the deal?"
Yu Xiangnian nodded proudly, "They asked me to translate a work, and I calculated that I could probably earn a thousand yuan!"
She was still wearing the same white waistcoat dress she had worn earlier. Its square neckline revealed her milky-white neck and graceful collarbone. The cinched waist made her waist seem almost too thin to hold. The hem of the dress was embellished with a few small white flowers, giving it a noble and pure look.
Cheng Jingmo had never seen her wear this skirt before. It was so beautiful!
Cheng Jingmo blurted out, "It's really beautiful. Uh... I mean, it's great that you made the deal!"
Yu Xiangnian smiled, her beautiful dimples faintly visible. "I bought this skirt at a department store in Shanghai. Does it look good?"
As he spoke, he turned left and right to show Cheng Jingmo.
Cheng Jingmo seemed to have his thoughts seen through, and his ears became even hotter. "Yeah, it looks good."
