Remember [Network..] in one second! Jiang Jun hadn't finished her words yet. As a military family member, her application to travel abroad would be subject to stricter political review. This was partly because her current job involved many government secrets, making it difficult for her to resign. This was information she had recently learned from her conversation with Secretary Qin.
However, Chen Jing thought that Jiang Jun was using marriage as an excuse to not go abroad, so she stood up and said, "I'm going to find my elder brother" and ran away.
Jiang Yun was about to chase after him when he was stopped by Wang Hailiu.
Wang Hai watched Jiang Jun return in the same car with the two sons of the deputy commander's family, and now he was playing the piano with the deputy commander's daughter. In addition, when he was having dinner just now, he heard Jiang Lan and her comrades in the dance team talking about the time when Jiang Jun played the piano to save them. He had already imagined a lot of thrilling and wonderful stories in his mind.
"Master, are you staying at the deputy commander's house?" Wang Hailiu looked at Jiang Jun with great admiration. "I heard that you and the guy who was in the car with the deputy commander yesterday were classmates?"
People in this period were very pure, and Wang Hailiu particularly admired Jiang Yun, so he subconsciously created an unshakable and noble image for Jiang Yun.
Jiang Jun felt a special sense of intimacy when looking at Wang Hailiu. After all, the two of them grew up in the same cradle and would not hide any secrets. "Yes, the one in the car yesterday was my classmate, and the one who dragged me into the yard was his brother. Well, I'm going to marry his brother."
Wang Hailiu's eyes almost popped out, and he quickly imagined a new scenario: "Is it possible that your classmate wanted to be friends with you, but his brother fell in love with you?"
In the 1970s, it was quite common for parents to arrange marriages in rural areas. Generally, when their children reached the marriageable age, matchmakers would start looking for matchmakers. If the children had no say, it would often happen that the elders would "randomly" match people up and break up couples.
Most people don't dare to resist their elders. A very small number of people want to resist, but usually they can't. The elders' best trick is to make two people who they think are a good match get married and have children quickly, so that they will stop liking each other and never forgive each other again.
Of course, there were a few exceptions where two people sneaked out and successfully rebelled.
There is nothing good about the successful ones, but the unsuccessful ones become a hot topic of discussion in the village.
When working in the oil field, Wang Hailiu heard his colleagues in the same team talk about the marriage stories of the older generation. It was about a younger brother who liked a girl and finally married his older brother. After the marriage, a series of unavoidable stories happened between him and his younger brother... He also compiled and adapted these stories and chatted with his coworkers in private after drinking. Many people liked to gather around him to listen.
Jiang Jun was speechless. Wang Hailiu's imagination was already on par with the ridiculous editors from her own time and space. "Liu! If you keep being so blind, I'll ignore you!"
Wang Hailiu quickly raised his hand and slapped himself: "Comrade Wang Hailiu, I told you to be blind! You are not worthy of this military uniform you are wearing!"
Jiang Jun put his hands on his hips and glared at Wang Hailiu: "You are in the army now. You are not allowed to tell any stories about ghosts in the mountains of Laoyinggou, or about the widows and bachelors in the village!"
Wang Hailiu humbly accepted the instruction: "Yes, yes, Master, I haven't passed a single word of yours. I just got here a few days ago and have been practicing storytelling all day. I haven't passed any of the nonsense."
Jiang Jun rolled his eyes. "Don't call me Master. You're not a street performer, and I don't repair machine tools in a factory."
Wang Hailiu reacted quickly and laughed, "Teacher, then I'll call you teacher! Then you can teach me how to stay here well in the future. It would be best if I can get promoted. When I return to the oil field in the future, I can become a formal employee."
The two people were so familiar with each other that even if Jiang Jun spoke bluntly, Wang Hailiu didn't care. He knew in his heart that Jiang Jun was doing it for his own good.
Jiang Jun angrily reached out and punched Wang Hai a few times. "Don't interrupt me. I'm telling you, stop asking about these things from now on. If you want to stay in the art troupe, take advantage of the opportunity to go to the company and ask the soldiers why they joined the army. What interesting things happened to them after they joined the army?"
She thought it would be best to let Wang Hailiu tell stories or tell tales in the form of a talk show. After all, it was a peaceful time, there were fewer and fewer wars, and more and more disaster relief tasks. Telling stories of deep hatred and deep grudges was no longer as popular as telling jokes that made people laugh.
For example, dialect or accent is one of the means to bring people closer together or distinguish you from me, and the topic of local accent is a very eye-catching topic.
Wang Hailiu slapped his head and said, "Yes, that's right. I heard about that joke about the messenger who couldn't speak Mandarin well. During a night march, the company commander told him to keep his distance, but he ended up pulling the lead."
Jiang Jun was instantly amused. "Yes, the soldiers in the army come from all corners of the country. You'll have a lot of material to collect. Just go to the company and talk to the soldiers. You can collect a lot of funny stories caused by different dialects and living habits."
Based on her understanding of Wang Hailiu, he has a good memory, strong imitation skills, and rich expressions. As long as the performance is handled properly, it will be easy to resonate with the soldiers and achieve the effect of being loved by everyone.
Wang Hailiu was very obedient: "Teacher, I will absolutely listen to you!"
Jiang Jun had great faith in Wang Hailiu and hoped he would have a bright future. Her words were all from the heart, without a single word of nonsense: "Just remember, there's a limit to telling jokes. You have to make people happy. Even if you're criticizing someone, when others hear it, you're actually praising them. That's the way to go!"
Although she can't tell jokes, she has met people who are particularly good at the art of complaining.
After chatting with Wang Hailiu for a while, Jiang Jun reminded Wang Hailiu: "As a cousin, you still have the obligation to take good care of Jiang Lan. Don't think that she will be righteous just because there is another relative here. Let her know that more relatives mean more people to discipline her! No bragging and showing off in the art troupe, and don't meddle in other people's business."
Wang Hailiu gave a somewhat awkward military salute: "Yes! Soldier Wang Hailiu promises to complete the task assigned by the general!"
Jiang Jun laughed again: "Lan doesn't know I'm getting married yet. I'm living with my dad and I won't tell Lan until I get married."
This will prevent Jiang Lan from being careless with her words and going out again when she gets excited. If she shows off when she does so, it will only make her more hated.
Wang Hailiu couldn't help but think about it again: "Why? Could it be that Lan likes your girlfriend?"
Well, at noon when Jiang Lan mentioned Chen Yuanwu to him, she kept calling him "Brother Chen" and her eyes were shining!
