The table was set up quickly.
Everyone started moving stools. It was no big deal. They just moved the benches in the cafeteria one by one and put them in a row.
Family members can do this.
Several stools were moved and scattered around.
This is reserved for military families.
Extra care for women and children.
What is lacking is stools. For a canteen that can accommodate thousands of people, this basic equipment is lacking.
The rough guys found it troublesome to move the stools.
Which soldier has not crawled on grass, played in mud and water, and even waded through swamps? Would he be afraid of getting his pants dirty by sitting on the ground?
I have to wash it when I get home.
It is much more convenient to sit on the floor.
Watching the performance and chatting with comrades, it was so much fun!
Qi Sisi also found a seat and sat down.
Most of them are selected according to male official positions, and the others are selected based on the closeness of the relationship.
Qi Sisi didn't know anyone well, and the others had their own children and friends, so she took a whole stool. When Zhao Xingyu came later, he could sit down directly.
If you don't get a seat in time and no one helps you save a seat, then you're done. If you're late, move your own stool. If there's no seat, sit on the floor.
Time passed by little by little.
The stools gradually filled up.
Qi Sisi chatted with the family members around her. The men sitting here were basically of high status, so it was necessary to connect with them.
There are only a few topics for women to talk about.
Those who have children talk about children and boys, those who don’t have children talk about boys, work, food, and clothes…
Speaking of this, Qi Sisi doesn't feel weak at all.
She herself didn't realize that all eyes were on her.
Because she is the youngest, best dressed and has the best figure here.
"Xiao Qi, I heard that your Captain Zhao brings you breakfast every day?"
"Oh, yes. I get up late in the morning."
Qi Sisi felt a little uncomfortable.
How come you knew all this? How come you saw everything they did?
"It looks real!"
Sister Xu clenched her fists and looked excited, "My boyfriend mentioned it before, how could I believe it? Your Captain Zhao is so good to you!"
Qi Sisi smiled with her teeth showing.
Anything is appropriate at this moment except silence.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
"Xiao Qi, do you get up late every day?"
"My husband makes a lot of noise every morning. I can wake him up even if I want to."
"My husband is fine. I'm used to getting up early in the morning to cook."
The other sisters-in-law listened to me, but they only asked me to bring breakfast.
All the eyes looking at her were full of envy.
"I'm still young and need to learn from my sisters-in-law." What else could Qi Sisi say...if she continued, she would inevitably be suspected of showing off.
"Xiao Qi is also very busy!" Sister Xu helped out, and explained in detail: "Xiao Qi goes to the cafeteria to learn cooking in the morning, and goes to elementary school in the afternoon. At the end of the day, she has an easier time than those boys."
"Xiao Qi is a teacher?"
"I've heard of this before. My kid is in the first grade. Maybe you know him. Please keep an eye on him for me. Feel free to criticize him if you have anything to say!"
"Is being a teacher a good thing? Why do you want to learn cooking?"
"Xiao Qi's apprentice is the retired chef Liu from our cafeteria. His ancestors are from a family of royal chefs. He is so amazing!"
"So that's how it is. If it were me, I would also like to learn it."
"Do you know how good Xiao Qi's cooking skills are?"
"The hot pot she served to us that day was so delicious. I am drooling just thinking about it now..."
The sisters-in-law were talking enthusiastically, and Qi Sisi, the person involved, interrupted them.
That's fine.
She didn't even worry about how to respond.
......
The time has come.
Some people stepped onto the platform and carried the speakers and microphones.
The benches were filled one after another.
Qi Sisi took a look and saw that it was a woman she didn't know. She was wearing a green military uniform and judging by her figure, she seemed to be a soldier as well.
Zhao Xingyu also came, but he didn't come over. He just said hello and sat with Hei Mao and the others.
It's hard to understand.
After all, the team will have a performance later.
Those with higher levels did not show up, and the highest position is the regimental level.
Captain Wang's wife was in front, about four years old, wearing a cheongsam with a shawl and her hair was tied up with a hairpin.
Qi Sisi looked at the other person's face from behind. Just the posture, which looked noble, made Qi Sisi dare not approach him.
The only person who was close to her was a woman of similar age.
She was wearing a grey top and black pants, looking very ordinary, with her hair simply tied at the back. She looked at Captain Wang's wife with a very flattering expression.
Qi Sisi looked for a while and then looked away.
Feeling comfortable.
Fortunately, the soldiers had arrived and the cultural performances had begun.
There was a man and a woman on the stage, speaking festive words.
"Dear leaders, dear soldiers, good afternoon everyone!"
"Today we gather together to celebrate the Army Day, ..."
"Now it's time for our warriors to give their performance."
The first program was singing. Several people formed a team and sang revolutionary songs with loud voices, which really livened up the atmosphere.
When the song was over, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
Qi Sisi didn't hear anything. The song was quite nice, but a bit tiring for her ears, especially since she was sitting relatively close to the front.
Looking back quietly, Zhao Xingyu also saw Sisi and smiled at her.
The stern face suddenly broke into a smile, just like a sudden spring breeze that brought bloom to thousands of pear trees.
The black cat and Xie Fox nearby noticed this and started to tease him, all of them laughing together.
Amid the grand applause and everyone's laughter, it didn't stand out.
Qi Sisi was delighted.
She glanced at the man jokingly.
Zhao Xingyu looked innocent and actually pretended to be aggrieved.
Qi Sisi felt a little regretful.
If she had known earlier, she would have sat on the stool. She wanted to sit with her boyfriend.
Unfortunately, most of those sitting on the ground were soldiers, and as a woman, it was difficult for her to penetrate them.
We still have to avoid suspicion.
Qi Sisi shrugged at him, expressing her deep regret as well.
Zhao Xingyu gestured with his hand, indicating her to look forward.
It turns out that the next wave of programs has begun.
Qi Sisi retracted her gaze and focused on watching the show.
The atmosphere gradually became heated.
The emotions of the audience were all ignited, even the women, who applauded and cheered but were not as good as the warriors.
Qi Sisi was also gradually brought in.
He kept calling out the name of Zhao Xingyu and his team.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her husband leading his team up from the side path. He waved and greeted her with a bright smile.
The team members behind him and the audience on both sides saw this and immediately burst into laughter.
Many people looked over.
Qi Sisi immediately knew what to do.
After hesitating for a moment, he raised his fist and mouthed "come on".
Zhao Xingyu received the signal, smiled more proudly, and waved to the audience.
