Chapter 58

On the way to the family compound.

Ruting asked his second brother a lot about the daily life within the art troupe.

It was also confirmed that Fang Yitong was doing well in the art troupe and was highly valued by the director. After he had gone home to see his sister, he felt at ease to talk about other things.

After parting with Gu Fang, Lu Ting asked about his second brother's current situation in the art troupe.

Wei laughed and said, "How old am I, your brother? Can I still be bullied?"

"Even if there is no bullying in public, there will definitely be some weird things happening behind the scenes." No matter how you look at it, it is indeed unfair to those who rely on their real abilities to get into the art troupe.

But in this world, luck is sometimes hard to explain.

Thinking of this, Lu Ting turned his head to look at his second brother: "If you don't want to talk, forget it, but if you are unhappy, just talk to me, don't hold it in."

Hearing this, Lu Wei's eyes warmed up. He felt that his sister had indeed grown up and was now becoming more and more caring.

In fact, it was a bit difficult at the beginning, but he would not die for a few cold stares or sarcastic remarks.

Li Wei likes his current life, he also likes performing, and he enjoys the feeling of standing on the stage even more.

Instead of caring about these groundless rumors, he cherishes the current opportunity and just wants to devote all his time to various studies.

Therefore, even if what my sister is worried about really happened, it cannot hurt me in the slightest.

What's more, he is now like a fish in water in the art troupe, and no one gives him the cold shoulder anymore.

As for the behind the scenes...

Oh...he can't hear again.

Thinking of this, Lu Wei rubbed his sister's head again, reiterated that he was fine, and then turned to care about his sister's pregnancy.

Tingting: "I'm fine, the child isn't making any noise at all... By the way, did you get the food I asked someone to bring you?"

Hearing this, Lu Wei thought of the cold-eyed female soldier, nodded, and asked curiously, "Got it, your new friend?"

Ruting's eyes lit up: "Ning Yu said she is my friend?"

Li Wei nodded and raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it?"

"Of course!" After saying this subconsciously, Lu Ting couldn't help but share with his second brother the moments when he was with Ning Yu.

She always felt that the girl was not cold, but was not good at getting along with others.

Hmm...using indifference to cover up awkwardness?

Speaking of which, Ning Yu said last time that as a reporter for a military newspaper, she also had to follow and report on the performances of the art troupe.

Then everyone should arrive at the campsite by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Thinking of this, Ruting began to consider the possibility of inviting people to her home for dinner.

She quite likes that girl and it would be nice if they could become good friends.

There are no gorgeous lights like in later times.

Therefore, the performances are basically scheduled during the day.

The show was finally scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday.

As per custom, Principal Huang gave students and teachers half a day off.

As a family member, Ruiting followed the main force this time and sat down early to wait with other military families and doctors and nurses at the health station.

"Why hasn't Shuang Shuang come yet? Didn't we say we can arrive at Tianjing Station at 11 o'clock? It's almost half past one now." Hu Xiu pinched Roubao's armpits and lifted him up on his lap. He made faces and made him giggle and kick his legs, while looking out from time to time.

Li Ting was also worried, but it was normal for trains to arrive late these days, so she comforted him again: "...It should be here soon, don't worry, the driver has been driving for many years, nothing will happen."

Although Huo Xiao didn't have to take care of everything when the art troupe came to perform, he couldn't just leave at will, so he asked the brigade commander's guard and his orderly Wu Xiaojun to pick them up at the train station.

Hu Xiu: "I'm not worried about that. The show is about to start. This is a rare opportunity. I just want Qingqing to be able to watch it too."

Tingting couldn't help laughing: "Why are you still thinking about me?"

Hu Xiu also laughed: "It's rare..."

Here the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting and laughing, while behind the curtain the warriors of the art troupe were also making final preparations.

Before coming to perform at the camp, Li Wei had been on stage several times, so he was still nervous.

But compared to the first time, I'm already much more comfortable with it.

He was performing a play today, which roughly told the story of an ordinary fellow villager helping the volunteer army.

Although Lu Wei's role is not the protagonist, it is not like what he said to his sister, where he only has one or two lines.

I thought that I would soon be able to show the results of my hard work over the past month in front of my family.

Rather than feeling nervous, I feel more excited.

Just when Li Wei was about to go over the role he was going to play again, he felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

He looked to the side and saw a fan of one of the main actors, who was looking at him gossipingly.

Lu Wei lifted his hand and scolded with a smile: "If you have something to say, talk about it!"

"That's what you said." Yu Ai Dang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked what he had just heard: "Do you have a partner? Is she a nurse at the health station?"

Wei was at a loss: "...What?"

Seeing him like this, Yu Ai Dang was also confused: "Isn't he the one you're looking for? The whole group knows that a girl came to see you yesterday. She's very pretty, prettier than our main pillar. You didn't come back last night."

wei wei...

I realized belatedly why so many people today were looking at me with weird and gossipy eyes. I was simply speechless.

He calmed down for a while, but still couldn't help asking, "Since someone saw it? Didn't they think that girl looked a bit like me?"

The bachelor's party, who had already formed a preconceived notion, thought that their good brother was showing off and immediately rolled their eyes: "I heard that they look like a couple."

Wei twitched his lips, thinking that he had made his point so clear, but the other party still didn't understand, so he gave up the struggle, patted his shoulder, and smiled meaningfully: "I'll take you to meet him later!"

Yu Ai Dang was just waiting for this sentence. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "I just secretly looked at her. She is really good-looking. Your girlfriend looks quite young. Does she have an older sister? Maybe we can not only be brothers, but also brothers-in-law."

Hearing this, Lu Wei looked at his brother like a hero and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask for you in person later."

The remaining party smiled with white teeth: "You are still a brother."

The train was delayed for more than an hour.

By the time she arrived at the unit, the art troupe had already performed half of its show.

Fortunately, the program that Lu Wei participated in was placed at the end of the show and has not started yet.

When she hurried over under the guidance of the waiter Wu Xiaojun, Fang Yitong's solo performance was just beginning on the stage.

Ruishuang had heard Aunt Xiu mention the little girl Fang Yitong before, but this was the first time she knew what it meant to be blessed by God when her sister praised her so highly.

She pulled her child to sit in the empty seat her sister had reserved in advance. She didn't have time to say anything and just listened attentively.

It was not until the end of the song that the audience burst into applause and cheers that Luo Shuang finally had time to take his son, who seemed to have become heavier, from Aunt Xiu's hands. She sighed, "This... this is so beautiful, it's like... it's like my soul has been cleansed. Look, I have goosebumps."

Of course, not everyone deserves such high praise for having a voice kissed by an angel.

Especially since the other party had dug it out himself. After hearing the elder sister's praise and seeing the reaction on the spot, as a teacher, Ruiting naturally felt honored. He couldn't help but show off a few words before looking at the woman who was chatting with her mother-in-law.

The person that Lu Hongying was invited to help this time was an elderly widow from the village, who was considered a relative of the family. Her name was Lu Hongying.

Actually, I can’t even call myself an old man. I’m only in my early fifties.

I heard that her husband was killed by the Japanese invaders when they got married. They had no children, but they grew up together as childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship, so Lu Hongying stayed with him all her life.

In my memory, I was not familiar with the other person, but I had heard about his character.

Li Ting had never expected that the person that the eldest sister would ask to come over to help would be her. She immediately smiled and called out, "Auntie Hongying."

Lu Hongying has a very kind personality, but she doesn't talk much. She even looks a bit awkward in the unfamiliar environment. She just smiled and nodded when she heard what was said.

Seeing this, knowing that Aunt Hongying must be uncomfortable, Lu Ting did not continue talking to her, but turned to her two nieces.

She kissed them quietly, and when they obviously relaxed, she let the twins play with their sisters.

While watching the program, I asked my eldest sister about my parents, eldest brother and his wife.

Just like this, the two sisters talked head to head, one spoke and the other listened, and soon it was time for the finale.

The two sisters who were originally chatting together suddenly sat up straight, their expressions were perfectly synchronized, their eyes wide open, staring at the stage intently.

In fact, in real life, apart from the drama club in college, this was also the first time for Ruiting to watch a drama performance.

I can’t say whether I like it or not, and I don’t really understand how good the second brother’s acting skills are.

I just felt that his performance didn't drag down anyone else's performance.

I guess this is success!

When the two sisters were happy for Lu Wei, they saw him do a split in the air with ease.

Suddenly, Li Ting gasped inwardly and felt pain in both of her legs.

After just over a month of hard work, he has acquired such basic skills... How much hardship did the second brother have to endure? !

And Wei, who was on the stage, had no idea that his sister hardly understood his performance at all, and was just feeling distressed.

He cherishes the opportunity to be on stage, so he always devotes himself to the performance.

By the time I recovered from the emotions of the role, I was already standing in the center of the stage with all the actors, bowing and expressing my gratitude.

It was not until the curtain in front was lowered that the group clenched their fists excitedly for their successful performance.

The last chorus of the show.

After the chorus ended, the performers came on stage again to take a bow.

Yu Ai Dang has always wanted to become a brother-in-law with his good brother, and he doesn't want others to hear that he is competing with him, so he has been following him like a follower.

Finally, Lu Wei, who wanted to let them off, was annoyed and saw that his brother-in-law was free, so he led his people to walk over and said, "Brother-in-law, this is the pillar of our drama performance, called Yu Ai Dang."

Brother-in-law? Yu Ai Dang was a little confused. He had no idea that his new good friend had such a powerful backer.

He had heard of this man who was only two or three years older than him but was already a regimental-level combat hero. He admired him very much, but he never imagined that he was actually Lu Wei's brother-in-law.

Although he didn't understand why his brother suddenly brought him here, Yu Ai Dang still happily reached out his hand: "Captain Huo, I've heard of your name for a long time!"

Huo Xiao was also confused, but he gave his second brother-in-law face and extended his hand to shake his hand: "You're welcome!"

However, at this moment, Wei suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, my brother said that Tingting and I look like a couple."

Huo Xiao's eyebrows furrowed, and he clenched his hands tightly as he was about to take them back!

Before Yu Ai Dang could even react to what was happening, his whole handsome face wrinkled into a ball, and he felt as if his hands were clamped in pliers.

However, as if that was not enough, Wei added, "The Ai Dang also said that my sister is pretty and wants to be your brother-in-law."

How many men in the world who care about their wives can tolerate others looking for a girl who looks like their wives?

Then, Huo Xiao glared at him a few more times, and even increased his strength when he was about to loosen his hand.

Ouch! It hurts...

The remaining fans who are screaming in pain in their hearts...Ru Wei, you dog!
