Chapter 1112 Going to the Party
After dinner, Wang Xiulan estimated that it was about time, so she locked the door and led Liu Jingxue to the auditorium.
Of course, they didn't forget to bring roasted melon seeds, peanuts, and other snacks.
Although she had just joined the army this year, Wang Xiulan had already found out that the annual party was held in the auditorium, so she took Liu Jingxue straight to the destination.
Liu Weihua lived at the innermost part of the family compound. When Wang Xiulan and Liu Jingxue, uncle and nephew, walked out, they met other family members who were also going to the auditorium to watch the performance.
Most of them, like Wang Xiulan and Liu Jingxue, brought various snacks, and some even brought small stools.
Looking at the small stools in the hands of those people, Liu Jingxue leaned close to Wang Xiulan's ear and asked in a low voice,
"Aunt, did we forget to bring a stool?"
Although it was okay for her to stand for a few hours, Wang Xiulan was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
Wang Xiulan whispered, "Don't worry, we have a place.
After all, there are limited seats in the auditorium. If too many people go, there will be no seats left for those behind.
Many people stood and watched, and those who couldn’t stand it brought their own benches.”
"But we can take advantage of your uncle and sit in their area. There will be seats available."
Liu Jingxue nodded in understanding.
When a military wife accidentally looked back, she saw the uncle and nephew coming together, and she quickly stopped and greeted them.
"Doctor Wang, Comrade Xiao Liu, are you also going to the party?"
Wang Xiulan and Liu Jingxue hurriedly greeted her.
The man's loud voice attracted the attention of others, and they all greeted him.
After finally saying hello, everyone walked towards the auditorium while chatting.
"Mrs. Wu, I heard that your Huzi will also be performing on stage this year?"
Mrs. Wu had a big smile on her face and said proudly,
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have gone there so early.
You know, in normal years, I always go there when the show is about to start.
But this year my child is going to perform on stage, and he told me to go early to grab a seat, so I won’t have to sit in the back and miss his performance.”
"You don't know, the teacher at the school is really good at seeing things. He saw at a glance that our Hu Zi is a good material for being a soldier, so he was chosen to play the role of a young soldier."
A military wife praised, "Your Huzi is strong and smart, and you can tell he is a soldier's child.
You must let him play the role of a little soldier."
After hearing others praising the child, Mrs. Wu's smile became even brighter.
But the next second, she saw someone pouting with disdain, as if disagreeing with what was said, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
Mrs. Wu laughed in her heart, thinking that this was the mother of Gousheng who had always been at odds with her.
Thinking of what her son had said to her, a smile appeared on Mrs. Wu's face again.
She immediately responded in a louder voice, "As the old saying goes, like a dragon, like a phoenix, like a phoenix, and like a mouse, like a mouse, it digs holes in the ground. This is absolutely true.
The teacher immediately chose Hu Zi to be a little soldier.
"What role did your Gousheng play?"
"I seem to have heard my son say that his teacher asked him to play the role of a Japanese soldier.
Is this true, you bastard?"
Seeing that everyone else was looking at her, and some of them even looked like they were enjoying a good show, Gou Sheng Niang secretly hated her, but she still said stubbornly,
“My dog Gousheng plays the role of a Japanese soldier, but so what.
It's impossible for all actors to play the role of little soldiers and no one to play the role of the Japanese devils.
If that's the case, how can we perform the play? It can't be soldiers fighting each other."
"Teacher Ren has said that even if I play the role of a Japanese soldier, I am still a hero.
What's it called? Dedicating oneself to art.
Yes, it is to devote oneself to art.”
Worried that these people would refute what she said, Gou Sheng Niang immediately spoke to Wang Xiu Lan, who had the highest status in the crowd.
"Doctor Wang, do you think our Gou Sheng is a little hero? Did he sacrifice himself for art?"
Wang Xiulan is already old, and this Mrs. Wu doesn't get along with this Goushengniang and wants to make fun of her.
She had no intention of interfering in other people's affairs.
And what Goushengniang said was right. If all the actors were vying to play the soldiers and no one was playing the Japanese devils, then how could the play go on?
"What Gousheng's mother said is right. Your Gousheng has a sense of justice. He stepped forward to play the role of a Japanese soldier and did things that others were unwilling to do.
It means devoting oneself to art." Wang Xiulan affirmed.
Seeing that Wang Xiulan agreed with Gousheng's mother's words, Mrs. Wu naturally didn't dare to mock Gousheng's mother for playing the role of a Japanese soldier.
The other military wives were also worried that Mrs. Wu would say something inappropriate, so they quickly changed the subject and started discussing which military wife or which child would perform tonight.
Seeing that the military families were chatting animatedly and didn't notice the uncle and nephew, Wang Xiulan lowered her voice and said to Liu Jingxue,
“With more people, there are more conflicts.
Fortunately, I have a job. If I were a housewife, as the wife of a military commander, if there were conflicts among family members, I would have to mediate.
Fortunately, I was able to get out of this situation under the pretext of work. It is said that the policy wife who is in charge of this matter now is busy dealing with these matters every day, and she is not popular at all. "
"It's no problem for me to cure diseases and save lives, or to use a scalpel to perform surgery on people, but I can't handle these things," Wang Xiulan shook her head. "I can't do that.
Only a person as versatile as Mrs. Policy can accomplish this.
I really admire her.”
"You admire her, and she may admire you too.
After all, your medical skills cannot be learned without decades of accumulation.
But if someone of the same status and equally good at dealing with people has her ability, wouldn't he be able to do the same?"
"If it weren't for your medical skills, uncle and the others wouldn't be in such good health." Liu Jingxue quickly encouraged Wang Xiulan.
"You are such a talkative kid."
Fortunately, the military wives did not cause any more trouble along the way. Other military dependents also joined them along the way and walked towards the auditorium in a mighty procession.
Over in the auditorium, the performance stage had already been set up and decorated, and the people from the art troupe were putting on makeup and making preparations backstage.
The backstage is right next to the auditorium, and the noise coming from there can be heard clearly backstage.
Hearing the voices coming from the auditorium, Jiang Yuening quietly went over to take a look and found that many people had already arrived at the auditorium.
The party is held every year on New Year’s Eve, and Jiang Yuening is familiar with the seating arrangements.
At a glance, she knew that the person she was waiting for had not arrived yet.
She had already put on her makeup, and there was nothing else to prepare. Looking at the busy backstage, Jiang Yuening rolled her eyes and ran to whisper to her two friends. After the three of them reported to their leader in the name of going to the toilet, they left the backstage and went around to the outside of the auditorium.
After knowing the secret thoughts of these two people, Jiang Yuening had no intention of bringing them together, but she did not know Commander Liu's wife, while these two people were said to have met Commander Liu's wife.
There was no other way, so she could only pull the two of them together and ask them to help her identify it.
