Chapter 031 The leader has arranged the work
I sent Guo Jiming off with a smile.
Rong Mei said a few words with a very strong motherly tone.
This was not to criticize Guo Jiming behind his back, but to express his dislike for her habitual servile behavior in her previous life.
I can't describe the feeling, I just feel suffocated. I clearly agreed to lie down and rest, but the curling gene that has penetrated into my bones is playing tricks on me again.
He picked up his teacup and took a big gulp.
He put it down with a thud.
Pick up the key.
He locked the door and walked hurriedly towards home.
I went up to the third floor and knocked on the door of Chen Chunlan's house opposite.
Chen Chunlan was making dumplings at home. She was a little surprised to see Rong Mei coming, and quickly welcomed her in with a smile.
Rong Mei found a stool and sat down. Chen Chunlan had not finished wrapping the dumplings on the table.
So, he continued to wrap dumplings with his hands while enthusiastically inviting Rong Mei.
"Girl, have lunch at my house later, don't go to the cafeteria."
Zhou Nanxu was busy these two days, so there was no cooking at home, and Rong Mei ate in the cafeteria at noon.
Rong Mei was just about to say that she had something else to do later.
As if she had expected Rong Mei to refuse, Chen Chunlan said again.
"It's just a meal of dumplings, it's not a rare thing. If you don't agree, I will be embarrassed to step into your house next time. Zhu Chuan and Zhu Qiang, those two brats, usually eat a lot of your food."
Rong Mei was no longer polite when she saw this, "Okay, then I won't be polite to my sister-in-law, I'll just bring my mouth here for a meal."
She could only talk, as she didn't know how to roll out the dough or wrap the stuffing, so she might as well just sit there and not cause any trouble for others.
She got straight to the point and started her question, "Sister-in-law, how did our hospital celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day last year?"
Chen Chunlan just thought it was just idle chat and didn't take it seriously.
While skillfully rolling the dough in his hands, he recalled the pastries.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, of course, means eating mooncakes. I tell you, every Mid-Autumn Festival is very lively. All the military families in the family compound can go to the front camp to watch the art performance. The army will also send a few military Dongfeng trucks with tents to pick us up. Those from the art troupe will also perform, singing and dancing, which is very beautiful to listen to and see.
As for last year's National Day, it coincided with a military parade. I don't quite understand why, but I heard from Lao Zhu that it was the first military parade of its kind in decades since the movement began.
At that time, no matter whether it was in their military camp or in our family compound, everyone was watching in front of the TV. I was so excited. One by one, they walked across the square with long guns in their hands, and the sound of them shooting was so neat.
By the way, your husband was selected to participate last year. You can go back and ask him. I am not well educated and cannot describe the scene at that time. "
It can be seen that Chen Chunlan was very excited just by recalling that scene. She even put down the rolling pin with which she was rolling out the dough and started gesticulating with joy.
Even Rong Mei couldn't help but feel the shocking scene at that time, although she had not witnessed the 1984 military parade in person.
But in the future life, she had the good fortune to experience a military parade in person before she came here, which shocked even a heartless and hard-hearted woman like her to tears.
The 1984 military parade, a scene that has been mentioned countless times in later generations and is regarded as a masterpiece, will only be criticized more and more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
After listening to Chen Chunlan's words, Rong Mei had a rough idea in her mind.
Although there is no National Day military parade this year, it will definitely be very lively as the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are squeezed together.
The cultural and artistic performance is a sure thing, but the difficulty is where she can get such a makeshift troupe together.
Moreover, there are only twenty days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival. In such a tight schedule, we have to find people and rehearse the program.
Although Guo Jiming said that what matters is participation rather than quality, having a program is enough.
But Rong Mei never said anything about participation being important.
Either don't take the job, or if you have taken it, you must complete it well.
The people she is currently on good terms with are her sisters-in-law, like Chen Chunlan, who are neither too old nor too young and are unemployed at home.
So you need talent? It's impossible to have talent.
Seeing that the dumpling curtain was already full, Rong Mei quickly took out another one and handed it to Chen Chunlan.
Then he asked her, "Sister-in-law, do you know any sisters-in-law in our courtyard who have talents?"
Don't worry, just ask Chen Chunlan and you'll know for sure.
"The one with the best talent must be the son of the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion. He works in the art troupe. What's the matter? Why did you think of asking this?"
Rong Mei sighed and didn't intend to hide it. "Well, the organization has arranged for us military wives to put on two performances for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day this year. I'm worried about it."
"What the hell?! Our military wife has to go up there and perform too!" Chen Chunlan looked as if her jaw dropped. She stared at Rong Mei blankly, and she was obviously very frightened.
Rong Mei didn't expect her to react so strongly. She almost flipped over the curtain with anger. She was immediately amused. "Why are you so excited, sister-in-law? Do you want to go up and act? It just so happens that I'm having a hard time finding the right people. Whatever role you want to play, I'll let you go up tomorrow."
Chen Chunlan could tell that Rong Mei was teasing her, and she also realized belatedly that not all military wives had to perform in this show, and she felt completely relieved.
He said unhappily, "Sister, what are you talking about? Don't tease me. I can't sing or dance. What can I do on the stage? I'm just standing still."
“For matters like this, we should go to the home of the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion. After all, he is a professional.
But to be honest, I have never had any dealings with this deputy battalion commander's family, but I have met her a few times since we lived in the same compound. Anyway, I think she is arrogant and doesn't like to talk to people. I greeted her several times but she didn't respond to me. Later, I didn't approach her. If I try to get close to someone, I will get rejected. When I see her, I will just walk away and avoid her.
After all, city people are different from us country people, not to mention that he is in the art troupe, which is a very respectable job.
But then again, although they are both city dwellers, Teacher Yu, the daughter of the first battalion instructor, is not like that. He is very friendly to others and will respond with a smile whenever he is greeted.
It could also be because she is a kindergarten teacher and is used to dealing with children, so she looks friendly. I can’t really say, I don’t usually come into contact with these people, so I can’t help you much.”
