Chapter 41



Chapter 41

Li Fei realized quickly from Lu Wei's attitude that she had mistaken the person.

She subconsciously looked to the side, and what she saw was a small face the size of a palm, which could be described as charming.

But this time, although Li Fei was impressed by the other person's good looks, she did not rush to speak.

Instead, he looked at the shortest girl, who was so thin that she looked unrecognizable and full of childishness.

This...I'm afraid she's under 12 years old?

Suddenly, she remembered that what Principal Huang mentioned just now seemed to be "children"?

Could it be... She quickly looked at Principal Huang and asked uncertainly: "Are you talking about this child?"

Principal Huang nodded and said, "That's the kid. He has a really good voice. Over the years, I've never heard a better voice than Fang."

That's a bit too high.

Li Fei herself started out as an opera singer, but now that she is old, she no longer performs on stage.

But the professional pride and basic skills are still there.

According to the old hero, he is no match for the inconspicuous girl in front of him.

Thinking of this, Li Fei couldn't help but look at the person a few more times.

However, she did not rush to verify it, but called the attendant and asked him to invite a few cadres to come for the assessment together.

After everything was arranged, Li Fei poured tea for everyone before sitting down to greet them.

But before they had even started talking for a few words, she couldn't help but look at the tall, long-legged, handsome man opposite her, who was perfect for the big screen, and asked with a smile, "Who is this comrade?"

Then she looked at Lu Ting with admiration: "You have good conditions. You two look alike. Are you brother and sister? Are you interested in joining the art troupe?"

wei wei...

1. The...

Although I have always known that if you are good-looking, you will be treated preferentially in every aspect.

But at this moment, Ruiting was still a little surprised, and even made her feel like she was in college and a scout handed her a business card.

However, surprise aside, she really doesn't have any outstanding talents.

Just as he was about to decline, Principal Huang beside him said hastily, "That won't work. Teacher Xiaozhen is an English teacher that I found with great difficulty. How can she join the cultural troupe?"

Hearing this, Li Fei felt a little regretful.

After all, this girl was one of the best among the countless beauties she had ever seen in terms of temperament, appearance, and figure.

If such good conditions were put on the big screen...

Unfortunately, Li Fei didn't dare to compete with the old hero for the man, so he could only cast his eager eyes towards Lu Wei again.

Principal Huang said quickly, "This is Teacher Xiaozhen's brother. If you have any ideas, you can talk to him."

wei wei...

Li Fei's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to speak, several cadres from the group appeared at the door one after another.

She could only temporarily suppress the urge to recruit talents, and stood up to lead the group to the meeting room next door.

At this point, looking at the row of art troupe officials in military uniforms sitting in a row, and the little girl standing in the middle, even Ruting started to get a little nervous.

In fact, she was too concerned.

Look, all I see are these fighting girls, who are very stable at critical moments.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the expressions of several officers who had to go there only to save face for Principal Huang and the group leader suddenly became serious.

These people are all professionals. Among them, Li Fei even worked in the General Political Department for several years. You can tell they are good just by hearing one sentence.

Because she was so knowledgeable, her eyes seemed to be glowing.

How could anyone dislike a little girl for being dry and insignificant?

Especially this girl, you can tell at a glance that she is hungry and can be fed.

Even if he doesn't look good, it doesn't matter. He has a great voice, which is a natural gift.

No, this is simply God chasing me and feeding me.

Being in the art circle, Li Fei knows better than anyone that there is no fairness in this world.

Hard work is often worthless compared to talent.

The little girl in front of me obviously has the talent to stand on the top of the spire.

If I focus on training myself for another two years, I'm afraid even the General Political Department can't compare to me...

Thinking of this, Li Fei's breathing became heavier, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the little girl became even hotter.

So, after the other person finished speaking the last syllable, she immediately asked, "What's your name? How old are you? Have you ever been to school? Are you willing to learn to sing with me?"

As for the other officers who were a step slower...the leader has no martial ethics!

Fang Cuihua was extremely confident only when she was singing. She was a little confused by the series of questions. Her sweaty subordinates grasped the corners of her clothes consciously and looked at the person they trusted the most instinctively.

Ruting quickly gave her an encouraging smile.

Seeing this, Fang Cuihua took a deep breath, clenched her fists, encouraged herself not to fail, and said: "My name is Fang Cuihua, I am 14 years old, and I am still in the first grade of junior high school. I am willing to learn from the leader."

When she heard the little girl's name, Li Fei immediately understood why she was so thin.

However, she did not show any sign of abnormality and only planned to ask Principal Huang and Teacher Xiaolue privately.

At least...at least once I join the army, I can no longer use the name Fang Cuihua.

"Xiao Li, do you mean you agree to the special recruitment?" Although he was confident, Principal Huang was still happy for the child when it really succeeded.

Li Fei glanced at the anxious and expectant little girl staring at her, her eyes softened, and she smiled and affirmed: "Yes, I will go to file a report later. As long as there are no problems with the physical examination and political review, you can come and report."

Li Ting smiled and replied: "There will be no problem with the political review. Fang's father is the deputy chief of staff of our army."

A regular battalion-level officer could actually raise a child to look like a refugee. Li Fei had already given him a thumbs-down in her heart before she even met him.

But she had no interest in digging into other people's family affairs.

After securing such a talent, Li Fei was unwilling to give up her previous plan. After the other officers left, she could not wait to look at the handsome man and said, "Comrade Rui, are you interested in my previous proposal?"

Wei Wei...These days, even watching movies is interesting, let alone making movies? However... "Does making movies mean I have to be a cultural soldier?"

Li Fei nodded, then looked at Principal Huang again, and after a few pauses, she decided to be frank: "You may not know that all aspects of the film are subject to political review. If the actors are soldiers from the art troupe, there will be no obstacles in many aspects. Of course, having military status is also good for you."

Although this statement is a bit vague, everyone who needs to understand it understands it. After all, the situation of literary and artistic workers outside has been very bad in the past two years.

Wei Wei naturally understood what Captain Li meant, but he had never thought about becoming an arts soldier. He could neither sing nor dance...

Thinking this way, he spoke it out very frankly.

If you are not rejected outright, then you still have a chance!

Li Fei instantly became excited: "The art troupe is also divided into columns. We also have drama performances. There will be professional teachers to teach you. However, whether to recruit you is not something I can decide alone. Our troupe is currently filming a movie. I think you are very suitable for the image of the second male lead. However, we can only discuss the further process if the director thinks you are suitable. How about it? If you have time, let's go meet him?"

Things happened so suddenly that even though Luo Wei had a good temper, he was still a little undecided for a while.

However, Ruiting nudged his arm and said, "You won't lose anything if you go and watch it. Regardless of whether you are willing in the end or not, you can still gain something by watching how the movie is made, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Wei smiled and rubbed his sister's head: "I am obsessed."

Li Fei, who had been paying attention, stood up immediately: "What are you waiting for? Let's go now?"

Principal Huang quickly asked, "Where are we going? How long will it take?" A ride doesn't wait for anyone.

Ruting, who originally wanted to go ahead, also became hesitant.

Li Fei: "Are you in a hurry to go back? The location for the set is quite far away. It will take at least two or three hours to drive back and forth."

Upon hearing this, Principal Huang frowned subconsciously.

Tingting spoke at the right time: "Second brother, I won't go. I have classes in the afternoon. You can go back by yourself later?"

Li Fei interrupted: "The crew has a car and can take him there."

Lu Wei was not worried about himself. He had been traveling all over the country for the past few years and was used to it. He could find a place even without someone to send him. He was more worried about his sister's health: "Are you going back alone?"

Li Ting was speechless: "I'm just pregnant, I'm not that fragile, don't worry, and besides, you saw on the way here that the driver drove on the main road, not bumpy."

Principal Huang also responded: "Don't worry, Xiaolue, I'm following you."

Hearing this, Lu Wei nodded.

Li Fei's face immediately lit up with joy. However, although she was in a hurry to take Li Wei to meet someone, she still filled out Fang Cuihua's special recruitment information and asked the deputy group leader to come over and greet a few people before leaving in a hurry.

After everyone left, the other two didn't stay long. They went to the cafeteria to have lunch and then got on the jeep for the return trip.

However, even after the car drove for some distance, Ruting still couldn't understand how things were going.

Her second brother, is he...going to be a star?

the other side.

Huo Xiao returned to his office with a thick envelope. Seeing someone sitting at the desk flipping through documents, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Dong Xiao: "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Political Commissar Xing."

Huo Xiao placed the envelope on the table, took a sip of tea, and then sat down: "Is Old Xing not here?"

Dong Xiao smiled with his white teeth: "Yes, I just came out from his place. Didn't I come to see you on my way? By the way, Lao Huo, I'll come to your house for dinner tonight."

Huo Xiao slowly opened the envelope and said without raising his head: "Do I need to make a special trip for this?"

"Hey, let's chat. I heard your brother-in-law is here? He has charmed all the girls and wives in the family compound. What does he look like? I have to see him tonight... Hey? Whose photo? Show me?"

Huo Xiao dodged his brother's outstretched hand and said in a slightly resigned tone: "Don't ruin it."

Dong Xiao twitched his lips and continued to stretch out his hand: "I don't have a knife in my hand, how could it be damaged by just a touch? When was the photo taken?"

Huo Xiao: "I took the kids out to play a few days ago, and Tingting asked me to take the photo. She asked me to take a few photos of the kids every year in the future."

Upon hearing this, Dong Xiao, who had just received a photo and had no time to see it clearly, was stunned.

Then he moved his eyes to the 5-inch photo in his hand.

Compared to most blurry 2-inch photos, the enlarged 5-inch photos can be seen more clearly.

In the photo, Guoguo is sitting on his brother's neck, clapping his hands and looking at a little monkey in the fence. The little guy is obviously very happy, with all his big teeth showing in his smile.

Dong Xiao took a few more photos and found that the photos of the children were all developed in duplicate. He suddenly realized something, wiped his face and said with emotion: "Sister-in-law is thoughtful, this is our negligence." Who would have thought of recording the growth process of children...

Huo Xiao was in a good mood as his wife's good intentions were seen by others. "Find someone to mail it later... Oh, and send this as well."

As he spoke, Huo Xiao took out the key from his pocket, opened the drawer where important documents were kept, pulled out a small notebook and handed it to him.

Dong Xiao: “What?”

Huo Xiao's eyes softened. "Your sister-in-law recorded this for me. It's the diary of the young guys."

Dong Xiao was even more surprised. He flipped open a page and saw the following words written on it:

On January 23, 1967, it snowed heavily again. Guoguo, who was thinking about going out to play, was very disappointed, but he didn't cry. The little man just put his hands on his waist and pointed at the sky, shouting: "You are not good!"...Ah! Children are so fun.

He looked down again. On January 24, 1969, little baby Miaomiao suddenly wanted to see the moon, but unfortunately the weather was not favorable and the moon hid in the clouds. I thought the thoughtful little girl would be sad, but I didn’t expect her to ask seriously: "Mom, is the moon like me, afraid of the cold and covered with a quilt?"...Well, my girl is really cute.

He turned it over again, January 25, 1968...January 28, 1968...March 12, 1968...all the way to the end of March.

A book filled with all the details of the young family's life.

Dong Ao flipped through the pages one by one, and was often amused by the children's fantastic questions.

When he turned to the last page, the smile disappeared from his face.

Thinking of his brother and sister-in-law who died tragically, and the old leader who was going through hardships, Dong Xiao wiped his face again, trying to suppress the emotions in his heart, and then asked: "I remember you said that your sister-in-law only knew about the children after she came to the army..."

Huo Xiao's expression softened. "Well, Tingting just wanted to record it at first and show it to the kids in the future. It's okay to mail it out. We have a backup copy at home."

In my wife's words, children under the age of five basically live in the memories of adults. She wants to use words to record these memories for the children and give them as gifts in the future.

Now that he has this record of daily life, the old leader can be said to have participated in the growth of his children to some extent, which may be a relief.

Dong Xiao's face was full of gratitude: "Sister-in-law is so thoughtful."

Huo Xiao curled his lips and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant."

Hearing this, Dong Xiao was not surprised, after all, the couple had a good relationship.

If he didn't have these things, he might worry that his sister-in-law would have her own child and would be insulting the dragon and phoenix twin.

But at this moment, he believed that his sister-in-law, who cared so much about her husband's children without knowing that the twins were not his biological children, would never do anything to harm the children.

However...

Dong Xiao looked his brother up and down, and then suddenly said, "Old Huo, I'm a little jealous of you. Your sister-in-law is such a nice person."

Huo Xiao narrowed his narrow eyes and said with a half-smile, "Shall I ask someone to introduce you to someone?"

Dong Xiao stood up in a second, picked up the things on the table and left, leaving only a sentence: "Come over for dinner tonight." Then he rushed out like the wind.
