Gao Shengmei just came back from Yue Peng's house and was particularly sensitive to the change in Ye Qingyin's attitude.
In the past, Aunt Ye was a kind and friendly person, but now that she has become my best friend’s mother-in-law, she doesn’t seem as friendly as before.
Today is her best friend Jiang Yun's wedding day, and Gao Shengmei feels that she has an obligation to protect Jiang Yun from any grievances.
Chen Jing rushed in: "I want to listen to Beethoven!"
Jiang Jun smiled. "Well, you two, one just returned from Yicheng, barely a distant guest, and the other an 'old friend' of this piano. I can satisfy both of your requests. However, I need to ask Aunt Ye what song she would like to hear first."
Since Chen Jing recognized this piano, Ye Qingyin would not be unfamiliar with the piano repertoire. Of course, she had to ask the CEO of the Chen family what song she wanted to play.
Ye Qingyin had a lot to think about. Playing Beethoven at this moment was inappropriate! Playing folk tunes would be too rustic and unfair to the Steinway! If she played other pieces, she was worried that Jiang Jun wouldn't be able to play them, but if she played something easier, she would seem unsophisticated.
As he thought about it, there was a brief silence in the room for a moment.
Seeing Ye Qingyin remained silent, Jiang Jun knew she couldn't let her down. Two of her most familiar melodies popped up in her mind: "Aunt Ye, the entire Yellow River song is too long. I'll take the initiative and play a song. Would you like to listen to it?"
Now the inner room is occupied by women, and the outer room and living room are occupied by men. The songs she plays must be suitable for all ages and must not make Ye Qingyin unhappy.
The safest and most suitable song, apart from "The Sun is the Reddest", she couldn't think of any other song more appropriate than this one.
Sure enough, when the melody sounded, everyone was fascinated by the adapted chords, and Jiang Jun himself was no exception.
This piece of music was one of the pieces that Jiang Yuan strongly insisted she learn, and he repeatedly emphasized to her that "it is only truly good if it can make you cry." However, she never reached the level of Jiang Yuan's level of skill, and apart from her skilled fingering, she never felt moved.
Gao Shengmei leaned against the piano. Chen Jing half-leaned back, holding Gao Shengmei's arm, and watched Jiang Jun playing in a trance. From the keys to Jiang Jun's fingers, she suddenly found that Jiang Jun, with her delicate makeup, had the temperament of a princess, as if playing the piano was a part of her life, with a hint of laziness, but not making people feel arrogant.
After the song was finished, Chen Zhong led the applause in the living room: "Great! Another one!"
These songs are a hundred times better than the records that his old Ye listens to! He didn't forget to ask Jiang Yonghua: "Chief Jiang, what do you want to listen to?"
In front of the old leader, Jiang Yonghua was still a little reserved, but he didn't expect his daughter's piano playing to be so good: "Anything is fine, everything is good!"
Gao Shengmei was inspired and had an idea: "Yun, play the theme song of our factory's movie!"
Not only can everyone in the army sing that march, but many people across the country can also hum it, and the melody is very familiar to everyone.
Jiang Jun turned around to ask Ye Qingyin for her opinion: "Aunt Ye, do you want to hear it?"
Ye Qingyin's mind was still replaying the melody of The Sun is the Reddest. She nodded blankly, "Yes."
Jiang Jun took a deep breath and closed her eyes. The scene of the recruit company commander directing them in singing the march seemed to reappear in front of her eyes.
As the passionate, high-pitched and rhythmic melody sounded, Chen Jing and Gao Shengmei stood up straight unconsciously, with awe in their hearts, almost saluting.
After another song, the living room door opened, and Liu Yongzhi asked, "Deputy Commander Chen, what's going on? I thought I was in the wrong place! As soon as I arrived at your door, you started marching. Are you planning to turn Staff Officer Chen's wedding into a military parade?"
Chen Zhong stepped forward, saluted, and shook hands with Liu Yongzhi: "Chief of Staff Liu!"
"Chief of Staff, it's my wife Jiang playing the piano." Chen Yuanwu saluted and said in a strong voice, "She saw it was still early, so she played a few songs for everyone."
Jiang Jun heard the commotion outside and quickly stood up, holding Ye Qingyin's arm and coming out to greet her: "Hello, Chief of Staff Liu!"
The appearance of Canzuo meant that the wedding was about to begin, and Jiang Jun's nerves, which had just relaxed, began to tense up again.
Ye Qingyin sensed Jiang Jun's nervousness, patted the back of Jiang Jun's hand gently, and smiled as she expressed her gratitude to Liu Yongzhi: "Chief of Staff Liu, I'm sorry to have troubled you with our military affairs!"
Both publicly and privately, the councilor has always held Chen Yuanwu in high regard and has spared no effort in cultivating and promoting him. Ye Qingyin's words were perfect and impeccable.
Liu Yongzhi sighed: "Alas, a tiger father will have a dog son. The child trained by Deputy Commander Chen must be right!"
Now he knew who Chen Yuanwu took after. He inherited Chen Zhong's good fortune completely. He was not only excellent but also proactive and motivated. He had the same standards in choosing a wife: talented, beautiful, and capable of both housework and work.
Chen Zhong asked Liu Yongzhi to sit in the master of ceremonies seat.
A bunch of people rushed in from outside. They were all the comrades who had been blocked outside by Chen Yuanwu. They came to watch the fun and shouted, "Where's the bride? Can we see her now?"
In fact, many of them had seen Jiang Jun before, and they were just making noise for fun. When they suddenly saw several young female comrades in the room, they became even more excited. They stood in a circle, waiting for the attendant to deliver the wedding speech, and then they started to make a noise.
Zhang Paoquan, an officer of the Political Department, is recognized as the best emcee of the Equipment Department. Not only has he hosted many weddings for officers and soldiers, but he has also organized large-scale evening parties. He is good at controlling the atmosphere, making it lively when it should be lively and serious when it should be serious.
The wedding begins in a rather solemn manner. The newlyweds salute their elders and leaders together, and then the master of ceremonies gives a blessing and the parents send words of greeting.
Jiang Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the wedding was over, but unexpectedly, the excitement had just begun.
Zhang Paoquan changed his tone and started asking all kinds of tricky and weird questions.
For example, he first asked Jiang Jun if she knew what size clothes and shoes Chen Yuanwu wore. Seeing that she could answer one by one, he immediately asked whether Chen Yuanwu's waist circumference was one and a half arms' length or two arms' length. Jiang Jun only hesitated for two seconds, and the other onlookers started to clamor and demanded that the answer be verified on the spot.
The final answer is that summer is one and a half arms' length and winter is two arms' length.
Next, Jiang Jun saw the various uses of the human body's built-in measuring tools and was amused to the point of laughing.
When the soldiers saw that the bride was not stage-frightened, they became even more excited. The room was bustling with noise and no one wanted to leave.
Zhang Paoquan had a high emotional intelligence. With the leader's parents present, he didn't make too much noise. Finally, he concluded, "As close comrades of Staff Officer Chen, we not only extend our deepest blessings, but also have prepared a gift. It's a token of our respect. Please accept it!"
The gift was a stack of handwritten door numbers, including the canteen, washroom, restaurant, reception room, library corner, duty room, etc.
Jiang Jun listened to them reading one by one, thinking that the last one was "bedroom" or "staff office".
Unexpectedly, Zhang Paoquan read out loud: "Recruit Training Center!"
