Xiao Yihan tidied himself up, then turned around and asked, "Qi Yue, are all the people here?"
Qi Yue's smiling face instantly turned serious, "Our group is all in place and seated."
When a few people were about to enter the auditorium, Commander Han walked over from the side.
Xiao Yihan, Qi Yue, and Xiao Xu quickly stood at attention and saluted the commander. The commander walked over to them, looked at Chu Jingqiu carefully, and said with a smile, "Yihan, who is this beautiful girl?"
Xiao Yihan answered loudly: "Report to the commander, this is my partner Chu Jingqiu."
Commander Han laughed and patted Xiao Yihan on the shoulder. "Good, good, you finally succeeded. Commander Xiao was worried about your personal problems a while ago. You have a good eye. Treat the girl well and try to win her over as soon as possible so that you can get married and have children."
Xiao Yihan shouted loudly: "Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission!"
Commander Han smiled and led the group into the auditorium, followed by Xiao Yihan, Chu Jingqiu and others.
The seats in the auditorium were arranged in a stepped pattern. The first row was occupied by the leaders, the first few rows were occupied by their families, and the back was filled with neat rows of soldiers.
Xiao Yihan's independent regiment sat in the middle. When he brought Chu Jingqiu to the front row, the eyes of the entire regiment were focused on Chu Jingqiu.
Some people whispered, "Hey, look, is this the leader's girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"
Another said, "That's right. Look, he's helping that girl sit inside!"
Others said: "Our leader finally found a partner. There are many female comrades who like our leader, but he didn't like any of them. It seems that the leader has high standards and picked such a beautiful one!"
Xiao Yihan and Chu Jingqiu sat in the second row in front of their team.
Chu Jingqiu looked around and found that the young men he met in the restaurant were sitting in the fourth row not far from him, and behind them was a group.
All the staff were in place, and two hosts, a man and a woman, came out on stage and announced the general schedule of the performance.
The first step was that everyone applauded and let Teacher Han go on stage to speak. When Teacher Han was speaking, Chu Jingqiu realized that the female host was actually Zhang Liwen.
After Commander Han finished speaking, the male host quickly walked off the stage. He announced that a singing competition would be held first to liven up the atmosphere of the performance.
He looked at the formation of the Independent Regiment and said loudly: "The soldiers of our Independent Regiment have excellent style, are brave and good at fighting, and are both civil and military. We invite the comrades of the Independent Regiment to give everyone a try."
Xiao Yihan shouted, "Qi Yue, step out."
Qi Yue answered loudly: "Yes, Captain."
Qi Yue stood in front of the independent regiment and shouted, "Comrades, are you ready?"
The independent regiment shouted loudly: "Always be prepared! Always be prepared! ..."
Qi Yue took the lead and shouted: "The spring breeze blows, the war drums beat, the independent regiment is afraid of no one."
After the morale of the independent regiment was boosted, they began to sing "Unity is Strength" loudly.
The soldiers sang powerfully and their voices echoed throughout the auditorium.
After the independent regiment finished singing, Qi Yue took the lead and began to shout loudly: "If you are asked to sing, then sing. It's not nice to be so shy. Come on, let's cheer on the comrades from the other regiments. One, two, three, four, five! We've been waiting so hard."
At this time, a man stood up from the position of the First Regiment. This man was the commander of the First Regiment, Li Kunpeng. He shouted loudly: "Our First Regiment challenges the Independent Regiment. Our First Regiment is the best at singing songs. We will win every battle and make our name famous."
The soldiers of the first regiment shouted loudly and sang "Defend the Yellow River"
The First Regiment and the Independent Regiment shouted slogans one after another for a while. Chu Jingqiu felt his blood boiling and instantly remembered his military career.
After the singing competition, the host commented that the two teams were evenly matched. The group leader seemed unconvinced and looked at Xiao Yihan provocatively.
The art troupe's performance officially began. The first program was the song and dance "Female Militia of the Grassland". A row of dancers in national costumes walked out slowly one by one.
There was a flag bearer at the front whose costume was different from the other performers. Chu Jingqiu whispered to Xiao Yihan, "Is that lead dancer Wang Yingying?"
Xiao Yihan looked carefully and said in a low voice, "The lead dancer is not her. The one behind her who is slightly shorter is her."
Chu Jingqiu stared at Wang Yingying's figure and found that she was indeed a pillar of the stage. She danced well, with graceful movements and a slender figure. However, there were too many people dancing, and it was a little difficult to see her face clearly, so she turned away.
The young men were whispering together, and the officer in the coat was pointing in the direction of Wang Yingying. It seemed that he was pointing Wang Yingying to them.
Chu Jingqiu watched several programs in succession, including solo singing, several songs and dances, instrumental performances, etc.
When the show was more than halfway through, Zhang Liwen came on stage to announce the program. She glanced at Chu Jingqiu and said, "Comrades, the soldiers of our regiment are not convinced and want to continue to challenge the independent regiment.
The wife of a soldier in our regiment also particularly supported the soldiers. She challenged the independent regiment and sang a song for everyone: "Children of Poor Families Grow Up Early."
We wanted to ask who would take on the challenge from the Independent Regiment. Xiao Yihan was just thinking of letting Xiao Xu go up to perform, but the young men shouted, "Captain Xiao, one of your girlfriends, please! Captain Xiao, one of your girlfriends, please!"
A group of people followed suit and started to make a noise, "Captain Xiao, find a date, come on!"
Xiao Yihan stood up suddenly. He turned around and was about to help Chu Jingqiu out, but Chu Jingqiu smiled and took his hand, whispering, "Don't worry, trust me, we can't lose in terms of momentum."
Chu Jingqiu stood up and asked loudly, "Host, what is your next dance?"
Zhang Liwen said with a triumphant smile, "It's the song and dance 'Laundry Dance'."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "I accept the challenge. I'll go backstage to prepare and let my sister-in-law from the group sing first.
I know I'm not very good at this, and I'm afraid of making a fool of myself, so I'll just perform a bit of the "Laundry Dance" before your performance!"
Chu Jingqiu whispered a few words to Xiao Yihan, who then turned around and told Xiao Xu to get Chu Jingqiu's small bag from the car.
He insisted on accompanying Chu Jingqiu backstage. Chu Jingqiu said coquettishly, "Yihan, just wait here! I want you to watch my performance carefully from the audience, and don't blink!"
Xiao Xu quickly brought the bag over, and Chu Jingqiu took Xiao Xu and walked quickly to the backstage.
When she got backstage, she found that the military wife from the troupe had already put on her makeup, tied her hair into a big braid, and changed her clothes. She was just waiting for the solo on the stage to finish before she would come on stage.
When she saw Chu Jingqiu, she greeted her warmly, and Chu Jingqiu nodded politely.
At this time, Zhang Liwen and Wang Yingying came over. Wang Yingying had already changed into national costume and was waiting to perform the next dance.
Chu Jingqiu glanced at her. This woman was pretty, quite outstanding, with fair skin, big eyes, a high nose bridge, a slightly large mouth, and thin lips. Her whole face looked domineering and unruly.
