After everyone was seated, Yuan Jianing whispered to the smugly smiling Yuan Weihan, "Second Uncle, how is it, did I embarrass you?"
Yuan Weihan said, "You really made your uncle proud. After the performance, your uncle will treat you three to a meal. Order whatever you want."
Yuan Jianing nudged Luo Qiao with his arm and said, "Did you hear that? We'll order whatever we want later."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Look how happy you are. Stop talking and don't disturb others from watching the show."
Zhou Wanfeng, who was sitting on the other side, also gave his daughter a thumbs up: "Not bad."
Many people around were whispering, all talking about the three girls who had just stepped down from the stage. Many of them were rubbing their hands, eager to try.
It’s a pity that after the performance, Yuan Weihan and Zhou Wanfeng didn’t even give them a chance to approach and chat with them, and just took them away.
The five of them ordered a few dishes at a state-owned restaurant not far from the army. Zhou Wanfeng said, "Your performance today really surprised me. You did a good job. Come, let us use water instead of wine to congratulate you on your outstanding performance today."
Yuan Weihan also smiled and said, "You three really cooperated well. Your performance was no worse than that of the professional actors in the art troupe."
Yuan Jianing smiled and said, "That's right."
Yuan Weihan reached out and tapped Yuan Jianing's forehead: "You don't know how to be humble at all."
Yuan Jianing rubbed his forehead and said, "You were praising us just now, I was just telling the truth."
Several people laughed.
As soon as the dishes came up, people from the army came over to say hello. They all praised the performance of the three girls and vaguely inquired about their identities.
Because there were no private rooms here, even though they chose a place in the corner, the meal was interrupted many times, and it was almost seven o'clock when they finished the meal.
Yuan Jianing originally wanted Luo Qiao to go back to the compound with her, but Luo Qiao said she wanted to go back to her grandparents' place and had already made arrangements with them.
Yuan Jianing also knew that the Chinese New Year was coming soon. Although she was reluctant, she could understand and said, "Then you must go home early on the second day of the Chinese New Year."
Hearing Yuan Jianing's words "go home early", Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go home early."
Yuan Weihan said, "Wait a moment and I'll have someone take you back."
Yuan Jianing said, "Uncle, we can just take the bus back. Isn't there another one at 7:30?"
Luo Qiao also said, "Dad, Sister Jianing and I can just take the bus back. There were quite a few people here, so they must have taken that bus. You can go back and call home and ask my third brother to pick up Sister Jianing at the platform outside. I will see her off before we leave."
Yuan Weihan wanted to say something else, but Yuan Jianing said, "Don't worry, Uncle. We have so many people to keep you company. Besides, I've practiced before, too. Although I'm not as good as Qiaoqiao, I can still protect myself."
Seeing that his niece and daughter insisted, Yuan Weihan had no choice but to say, "Then I'll take you there to catch the bus."
When the three of them arrived, there were already quite a few people on the bus. It was the same bus that had come before. The conductor recognized them at a glance and said with a smile, "You are lucky. There are still two seats available."
Yuan Weihan took out money and bought tickets for the two of them without saying a word, and gave them a few instructions before getting off the car.
Suddenly, she thought of something and turned back: "Qiaoqiao, aren't you going shopping tomorrow? Didn't you agree on where to meet?"
Luo Qiao opened her messenger bag, took out a pen, took out the ticket she brought with her, and wrote a number on the back: "Dad, give this number to my mom. This is the public phone at my grandparents' place. If anything happens, just call this number."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Yuan Weihan asked: "Do you remember the home phone number?"
Luo Qiao nodded and said, "I remember it. Don't worry, I remember the phone numbers of everyone at home."
Yuan Weihan then got off the car, watched it leave, then turned around and left the platform, walking towards the military gate with a smile on his face.
Yuan Jianing said: "Tomorrow, I will also join in the fun."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."
