Everyone on and off the stage burst into laughter.
This last-minute joke made the rest of the show impossible to continue, and everyone was almost having cramps from laughing.
As a result, Class 2's copycat program received two extra points, and its final total score was the highest, two points higher than the second place.
Jiang Jun laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, but he was still laughing even when he was lying on the bed. The more he thought about it, the funnier it got, and he couldn't stop.
He Xiangdong wondered: "Is it really that funny?"
Jiang Jun laughed so hard that tears came out. "I think these two are the dumbest in the whole company! Oh, Ma, too bureaucratic!"
He Xiangdong still didn't find it funny, so he teased her, "If Secretary Chen knew you were laughing so happily in front of others, would he be angry?"
Jiang Jun said confidently, "Of course I'm not angry! We're just watching a show!"
He Xiangdong was curious: "Xiaojun, you seem to know him very well? Did he really not come to see you specially?"
Jiang Jun was speechless: "You came here specially to see me, so it's definitely not you! Didn't you see how many people are in their convoy?"
"Okay, then tell me how you two met?"
"I've already said that, I just knew him because he was good-looking!"
"Tell the truth!"
"We met when I went to my dad's place to study."
"No wonder you taught us. It turns out you learned everything from him."
"hey-hey!"
He Xiangdong posed the age-old question: "Who of you fell in love with whom first?"
Jiang Yun thought about it and said, "I liked him first."
How did you develop a crush on me? That cotton-padded jacket? Or that time playing table tennis? Or, uh, even earlier?
He Xiangdong was shocked: "How could you fall in love with him first!"
Jiang Jun was baffled. If they were in love, why would they have to decide who came first? "Isn't it possible?"
He Xiangdong sat up anxiously: "You are a woman!"
Jiang Yun was even more baffled: "Can't a girl like a boy first?"
He Xiangdong nodded: "Yes, that would be so embarrassing!"
Jiang Yunhan, what kind of ridiculous theory is this?
He Xiangdong was so disappointed: "My mom said that unless the organization introduced them and they knew each other at the same time, it's not clear who liked who first, then there's no problem. Otherwise, the man has to like the woman first!"
Jiang Jun was puzzled: "Why?"
He Xiangdong didn't know why, but she felt her mother was right: "What if you like him and he doesn't like you? How embarrassing! How will you find a partner in the future?"
Jiang Jun realized the problem was serious: "Why are your thoughts so feudal?"
They're both from the New China, a generation apart, 50 years apart. They both advocate for gender equality, so why are their ideologies so different? She just expressed affection, not confessed her feelings, so why is she embarrassed? If she doesn't agree to date, how can she not find a partner in the future? What a bizarre concept!
He Xiangdong said confidently: "Who is feudal? Everyone is like this!"
Jiang Jun was unconvinced: "What's so shameful about not being able to find a partner? So, if you say that, divorced people can't survive?"
He Xiangdong nodded vigorously. "Of course it's embarrassing! And getting a divorce? Those bad men just love to tease widows, you know! And then the neighbors, colleagues, and relatives will spit on you, call you a slut, and say you're shameless enough to get a divorce."
Jiang Yun was convinced: "Oh my god, is this true? It's so scary."
He Xiangdong also gave an example: "There was a woman at my mother's military uniform factory. Her husband got promoted in the army, got tired of her, and married someone from the art troupe. He didn't want her anymore. The army was afraid she'd take her children and commit suicide, so they arranged for her to work at my mother's company. My mother said she looked like a woman in her fifties, even though she was in her thirties."
"Is the man our teacher's?" Jiang Jun was a little gossipy. She wanted to know the prequel and sequel of this story.
He Xiangdong scorned: "Of course it belongs to our division! Otherwise, how could they be assigned to the military uniform factory?"
Jiang Jun envied: "You're so lucky to know so many inside stories!"
He Xiangdong boasted: "Of course. When my mother was at home, her colleagues came to our house to make clothes and embroider, and they would sit there and chat. There were many such things."
Jiang Yun was silent. Alas, Zhang Xiuying could only hold her waist and curse the sky and the earth.
"My mom and her family know Chen Yuefei's family!" He Xiangdong brought it up again: "I heard that his mom is so powerful, like a wife of an official, very arrogant and looks down on others!"
"Well, I've seen it once, and I didn't think it was arrogant."
"Have you been to his house? Have you met his parents? Did his mother agree?"
"I don't even know him! We just passed each other in the compound."
"Does your family know about this?"
"have no idea!"
"Will you write to your family?"
"No!" Their relationship had only just reached the stage of confession, and it wasn't confirmed yet. They had to keep developing it for a while, and once it was stable, they could tell Jiang Yonghua. But they absolutely couldn't tell Zhang Xiuying until the day of the engagement!
"Yeah, you're only fifteen, it's a little early. You didn't tell your family, are you afraid of what they'll say about you?"
"I'm not afraid of what they say about me, I'm afraid of them talking about it everywhere." Especially Zhang Xiuying, she has never liked her and has never said a good word about her no matter how good the matter is. Telling Zhang Xiuying would only make things worse for her.
"Oh! Xiaojun, my mom always said you were very sensible," He Xiangdong sighed. Her best friend had actually found a partner right under her nose without saying a word. "But I didn't expect you to be more mature than all of us!"
Jiang Jun patted his chest and buttocks: "Where is it mature? Siping!"
He Xiangdong laughed and said, "You usually eat too little. You must eat more meat! Eat more meat buns! Drink more milk and goat milk! Look at those Mongolian sisters-in-law, they are so strong!"
Jiang Jun shook his head. "What if the ones that should grow don't, and the ones that shouldn't grow start to grow?"
Those Mongolian sisters-in-law looked quite strong, but unfortunately they did not conform to Jiang Jun's aesthetic standards. She still liked the figure and demeanor of those who had learned ballet, which were particularly elegant and beautiful.
He Xiangdong laughed for a long time, and finally stopped laughing: "Xiaojun, you can't always be flat! I think your mother has a good figure. If you grow up in two years, you should be more beautiful than her."
Jiang Jun sighed deliberately: "I take after my dad!"
He Xiangdong laughed so hard that his voice changed. "Oh, I remember now. My dad had a comrade-in-arms from Siping. He once came to our house. I can't help laughing every time I think of him. What will we do if he comes to our house again?"
Jiang Jun pinched the two pointed corners of his shirt with his fingertips and said, "We'll be staying at the military base for another three years. My chest must have bulged out during those three years."
He Xiangdong was sharp-eyed: "Oh my God, you're still wearing his shirt!"
