Beautiful Mother Raising Cubs in the 1970s

Chapter 58

Views:

For several days, Wen Nuan was writing recitations for the gala program.

She had discussed with her comrades in the kitchen team and decided that this time the performance would be a chorus, plus a patriotic recitation.

Wen Nuan thought about it and realized that it would be difficult for the comrades in the kitchen to learn to dance in a short period of time, and they didn't have the time. Besides, no matter how good they were at dancing, they couldn't possibly be better than the female soldiers in the art troupe.

Wen Nuan excluded dancing at the first opportunity.

But chorus plus recitation is much simpler, and everyone's voices are loud enough and full of spirit, which fits the theme and idea of this gala very well.

Moreover, Wen Nuan added a little surprise at the end, which at least made the show not too monotonous and added some novelty.

After the quartermaster learned about the program arranged by Wen Nuan, he was very optimistic about it and thought it was very creative and ideological.

You know, in this era, as long as the ideology is firm, it means you are halfway to success.

The quartermaster asked the comrades who would take part in the performance, including himself, to leave work at five o'clock every day and take two hours every day to practice.

The National Day came in a blink of an eye.

Wen Nuan has been very busy in the past two months, but fortunately Le Le is also well behaved. Whenever they have to rehearse, he will follow Xiao Dong and Xiao Mei to their kitchen to watch the performance.

Three days before the National Day, the quartermaster simply asked all the performers not to go to work so that they could concentrate on rehearsing the program.

On the morning of the performance, it was the last rehearsal of their kitchen team. Gu Qinghan brought Lele to the kitchen team during lunch.

Lele is getting smarter and smarter now. Whenever he sees the quartermaster and Lao Zhong, they will sweetly call him "Uncle."

It's not like before, when he would call everyone in military uniform "Dad". Gu Qinghan was very satisfied with this.

In order to reward the comrades who came to rehearse every night regardless of rain or shine, the quartermaster distributed a special meal in the cafeteria at 5 pm, which included not only yogurt, but also fruit and chicken.

The one who distributed the rice today was Comrade Lao Zhong. Wen Nuan was almost the last one to get the rice. Lao Zhong picked up the ladle and scooped from the plate, and directly scooped a big spoonful of scallion chicken for Wen Nuan.

Wen Nuan looked at the chicken in her lunch box and couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Isn't this too much?"

Lao Zhong waved his hand, "How can there be too much? Let's go eat."

Wen Nuan looked at Lao Zhong and said with a smile: "Thank you, Captain Zhong."

"Why are you being polite to me? Let's eat quickly and perform well tonight." The corners of Lao Zhong's mouth raised unnaturally.

When the quartermaster came in to eat, he saw the chicken in the warm lunch box, and then happily walked towards Lao Zhong, who was distributing the food today.

"Lao Zhong, come here, I want to eat too!" As he said that, the quartermaster handed over his lunch box.

Lao Zhong glanced at him, then scooped half a spoonful of chicken and a spoonful of cabbage and shredded radish for him.

When the quartermaster saw that Wen Nuan had so much meat, he thought that Lao Zhong would give him more, but Lao Zhong only gave him five or six pieces of meat.

The quartermaster was dumbfounded when he saw his dish and couldn't help asking, "Old Zhong, you are biased! Why is my meat so much less than Wen Nuan's?"

Old Zhong said softly: "Eat it or not."

The quartermaster put the lunch box in front of Lao Zhong again: "No, you have to fill it up for me. My fingers are swollen from playing the accordion recently. You have to comfort me at least!"

"You are the one who has the nerve to say that it's hard work? Look at me—" Lao Zhong leaned his head towards him and said, "My mouth is swollen from playing the bamboo flute..."

"Besides, what are we doing?"

In the past two months, Wen Nuan has been returning home after eight o'clock every day because of her performance at the gala. Every day, Gu Qinghan has to bring the children over here to wait for her.

Naturally, Old Zhong would be a little biased towards such a great contributor.

The quartermaster snorted at Lao Zhong angrily, then walked away swearing with his lunch box, not forgetting to pick up his own yogurt before leaving.

Wen Nuan was carrying a lunch box and walked to the cafeteria, planning to have dinner with Gu Qinghan and Lele.

Gu Qinghan had already prepared the meal, and was waiting for her in the cafeteria with the little boy Lele. Lele was holding a spoon and was already learning to eat by himself.

Wen Nuan had just finished getting her meal and walked over when she saw Le Le getting down from her chair, holding a spoon and drooling over the scallion chicken in her plate.

Lao Zhong shared the rice with her and even scooped a big spoonful of chicken for her, so it was particularly spectacular.

Lele shouted loudly: "Mom, Rourou."

Wen Nuan was holding a lunch box in one hand and fruit and yogurt in the other. She couldn't pull her away, so she lowered her head and looked at her and said, "Come on, mom has a lot of meat here, Lele, come and eat."

Lele’s favorite thing is to eat meat. When he heard that there was meat, he immediately followed Wen Nuan happily.

Gu Qinghan had another flight in the afternoon, so he didn't order scallion chicken for lunch.

Although his lunch was not lacking in meat, Lele obviously preferred the latter to Wen Nuan's fragrant scallion chicken.

After Wen Nuan put down the lunch box, she handed the yogurt to Le Le and said, "This is for you. Drink it after you eat."

Gu Qinghan had drunk this yogurt many times before, and many times he gave it to the little girl Lele. She liked yogurt more than milk mixed with malted milk.

So after Wen Nuan gave her the yogurt, Lele took it directly to her mouth and prepared to bite it.

Seeing this, Gu Qinghan took the wine away from her mouth and said, "You can't drink it now, or you won't eat later."

When Lele heard this, he snorted and started to lose his temper.

Wen Nuan glanced at her, then picked up a piece of scallion chicken with chopsticks and said to the little one, "Le Le, if you don't eat it, Mommy will finish it."

When the little fellow heard this, his unhappiness disappeared. He took back his spoon and started to eat by himself.

But she was still a little young after all, and Lele ate half and dropped the other half. Gu Qinghan couldn't bear to see it, so he took her spoon and fed her slowly.

When they were almost done eating, the three children of Deng Juxiang and the two children of the quartermaster also came over.

Because Wen Nuan had to rehearse for the past two months, Le Le was familiar with his brothers and sisters. When he saw them coming over, he immediately called out with a smile, "Brother, sister."

"Le Le, have you finished your meal? Sister is going to the auditorium, do you want to go with us?" Xiao Mei is the oldest child here. The other children are also a few years old. They have been playing together during this period. Le Le loves to follow her the most.

Moreover, in the family compound, soldiers can be seen everywhere, so it is very safe, and children often have fun in the compound without the need for adults to watch over them.

But Lele was still too young, so Wen Nuan smiled and said to the other children, "Lele hasn't had enough food yet. Xiaomei, you guys go to the auditorium first, we'll go there later."

Because the party started at six o'clock, many people went there after lunch to reserve seats.

Some comrades are also setting up the venue, so there are probably quite a few people there already. Xiaomei and the others are older and it's okay, but the little one Lele still needs a nap, and Gu Qinghan will have to take her back to the office to sleep for a while later.

When Xiaomei and the others heard this, they nodded and said, "Okay, we'll see each other later. Goodbye, auntie, and Lele."

Lele also waved water at her brother and sister, "Bye, sister."

*

The little guy started yawning after eating, and stretched out his arms to Gu Qinghan, asking him to hold him.

Gu Qinghan simply picked up Lele, then looked at his wife and asked her, "Wouldn't you like to go to my office and take a nap?"

Wen Nuan shook her head: "No, I have to have a small meeting with the quartermaster and others later. You must let Lele take a nap at noon, otherwise it will be terrible if she gets upset at tonight's party."

Gu Qinghan knew his wife's concerns and worries, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure she sleeps well and doesn't cause any trouble at the party tonight."

Wen Nuan pinched the little girl's face and said to her, "You'll sleep in Daddy's office later, okay? I'm counting on you tonight."

Lele looked at Wen Nuan, then nodded, buried his head in Gu Qinghan's shoulder, and yawned.

Wen Nuan touched the child's hair and said, "Take Le Le to bed quickly."

As soon as Gu Qinghan and the others left, Wen Nuan was about to go back to the kitchen, but she saw Yang Xiaomei talking to a man.

They were quite far away, so Wen Nuan couldn't hear their conversation clearly, and the man happened to have his back to her, so she couldn't see his face clearly.

Wen Nuan was not a gossiper, so when she saw people talking about something, she quickly went back to the kitchen. But not long after, she saw Yang Xiaomei coming back with red eyes.

Wen Nuan thought Yang Xiaomei was easy to get along with, and she would often help her with things. Seeing her red eyes, she thought of the man just now and said, "Xiaomei, what's wrong?"

Ever since Chen Meijiao suffered domestic violence, Wen Nuan has also been worried about whether Yang Xiaomei had experienced something bad.

And, most importantly, Yang Xiaomei occasionally made mistakes during the program rehearsals recently.

Because of her good voice, Wen Nuan arranged a short solo for her. If there are any small mistakes in tonight's performance, it is likely to affect the effect of the entire program.

Whether in public or in private, Wen Nuan wanted to see what happened to Yang Xiaomei.

Yang Xiaomei paused, then turned her head slightly and replied, "I'm fine."

Yang Xiaomei actually saw Wen Nuan, and originally wanted to pretend that she didn't see her and go back to the logistics kitchen directly, but Wen Nuan stopped her first.

Wen Nuan walked towards her and said, "I see your eyes are red, did someone bully you?"

Yang Xiaomei shook her head quickly: "No."

"Really?" Wen Nuan didn't believe it and asked again: "I just saw you talking to a man. If you are bullied, you must speak up. Even if I can't help you, there are so many colleagues in our kitchen team who will help you."

"Sister Nuannuan, that's not the case." Yang Xiaomei bit her lip and said in one breath: "The guy just now is my boyfriend. I asked him to watch my performance tonight, but he said he didn't have time..."

Then, Yang Xiaomei talked about her boyfriend. Her boyfriend was called Ding Guoli, and he was the younger brother of the commander of the 25th Battalion. However, he was not a soldier in the army, but a military dependent, working as a temporary worker in the post office in the army.

Yang Xiaomei said that his attitude had been a bit strange recently. Not only was he often hard to find, but sometimes even when they had met in the cafeteria, Ding Guoli would deliberately avoid her and would just turn around and leave without even saying hello.

Just now, Yang Xiaomei deliberately caught Ding Guoli eating in the cafeteria and went to find him. However, Ding Guoli seemed to think she was a virus and refused to say a word. He also flatly rejected Yang Xiaomei's request to let him go to the performance.

There was not much entertainment in those days, so as long as the army showed a movie or held a party, basically everyone would want to watch it, especially the children in the military housing estates, who had been looking forward to the performance tonight for a long time.

Wen Nuan frowned. She really didn't know that Yang Xiaomei was in a relationship.

Yang Xiaomei followed her brother to join the army. She was not very good-looking, but she had a lively personality. She loved to tell others many things and rarely concealed her own family affairs.

I didn't expect that she was secretly dating someone. From what she said, it seemed like they had been dating for quite a long time.

And listening to Yang Xiaomei's description, isn't this man using cold violence

Could it be that he wanted to force Yang Xiaomei to break up first

After all, people in this day and age date with the goal of getting married. Dating without the goal of getting married is just hooliganism.

Wen Nuan guessed in her heart, and then asked Yang Xiaomei: "Does your family not know that you are dating?"

Yang Xiaomei looked down at the floor tiles, then hummed softly, "Sister Nuannuan, I only told you, you... just pretend you don't know."

For some reason, she didn't even tell her brother and sister-in-law about her relationship with Ding Guoli, but told Wen Nuan instead.

She subconsciously felt that he was warm, reliable and worthy of reliance, and her mood these days was indeed a bit bad because of Ding Guoli.

Wen Nuan pursed her lips, thinking that no one really knew about it, so the man was most likely just trying to ignore Yang Xiaomei and wait for her to get bored and then break up with him.

Anyway, no one knew about it before. If the two broke up, I guess no third person would know about it.

This man has some issues.

Wen Nuan looked at Yang Xiaomei and said, "No problem, I can pretend I don't know, but I also hope you can put this matter aside and prepare well for tonight's performance."

"Thank you, Sister Nuannuan." Yang Xiaomei looked at her seriously and assured her, "I will put this matter aside for the time being. It will not affect tonight's performance."

Wen Nuan nodded and said, "Don't be stubborn. If there is anything that is inconvenient for you to tell your family, you can tell me."

"Okay. Then I'll go back and have lunch first." In order to catch Ding Guoli, Yang Xiaomei hadn't even had lunch yet, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.

Soon it was evening and the party started at six o'clock.

The comrades from the kitchen squad who were going to perform on stage had been preparing backstage early. Wen Nuan even asked Gu Qinglan to lend her a few sets of military uniforms so that her clothes could be unified with those of other male comrades in the kitchen squad and would not look too messy.

However, Gu Qinglan had to be on duty tonight and could not come to the auditorium to watch the performance. After delivering the military uniform to Wen Nuan, she went back to the military hospital crying.

It was also the first time for Wen Nuan to put on a military uniform. As expected, no matter who puts on this military uniform, they will be particularly energetic. This military uniform can lift people up, making them look particularly energetic and full of righteousness.

Wen Nuan also learned how to salute from the quartermaster. Her eyes were bright and lively, her posture was straight and upright, and the long braids on her shoulders made her look younger and more energetic.

At this moment, Gu Qinghan came over from the regiment holding Lele, and happened to see Wen Nuan saluting, and was stunned.

Wen Nuan was surrounded by comrades from the kitchen team. Many comrades without military status also learned how to salute from the quartermaster.

After Wen Nuan saluted, she lowered her head to adjust her military uniform, fearing that it would get wrinkled.

Lele in Gu Qinghan's arms also saw Wen Nuan in military uniform for the first time. Seeing his mother who seemed a little strange to him, he opened his arms to her and called out, "Mom."

Wen Nuan had just straightened his military uniform. When he saw Lele and Gu Qinghan coming over, he walked towards them, took the little one from his arms, then bent down and kissed Lele on the face.

Ask her: "Le Le, does mommy look good in this outfit?"

Before Lele could say anything, Gu Qinghan, who was staring at Wen Nuan absentmindedly, said, "It looks good."

The man's voice was a little hoarse. Wen Nuan looked up and met his burning eyes.

Wen Nuan smiled confidently and generously: "I think so too. No wonder everyone wants to be a soldier. This outfit looks really good and energetic."

Gu Qinghan stared at her in a daze. He had indeed never seen this warm side of her. He instantly felt that the military uniform on her body had merged with her. It seemed as if her whole body was glowing, attracting everyone's attention.

Not only him, many male comrades in the auditorium were staring at Wen Nuan in a trance, whispering to each other.

Gu Qinghan felt that the gazes of these people were a bit piercing, so he took a step closer to Wen Nuan, looked at her clear and clean eyebrows, and murmured softly: "You are dressed better than others."

Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Deputy Captain Gu, you are getting better and better at speaking."

"Keep it up, I love hearing it!"

"Okay." Gu Qinghan stretched out his hand, then reached out to help her put on the military cap.

Wen Nuan looked up at him silently. Gu Qinghan seldom had physical contact with her in front of outsiders. This was in the auditorium, and besides family members, there were also many soldiers from the army.

This guy!

After a while, the party began. The kitchen team's show was in the middle, so they watched the show for a while.

After watching the performance of "Female Militia of the Grassland" by the female comrades of the art troupe, the quartermaster sighed and said, "This dance is amazing. If I were a judge, I would give them high scores. It seems that they will definitely win the first place."

Old Zhong was displeased when he heard this and scolded him: "Luo Qingjun, can you shut up? You are really good at boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige!"

Sister Juxiang has been in the family compound for many years, and this is her first time on stage. She was very nervous. After hearing what the quartermaster said, she couldn't help but say, "We are not bad either. Quartermaster, we must have confidence in ourselves."

Anyway, Deng Juxiang has always had confidence in Wen Nuan!

Xiao Zhu also got angry after hearing this. They had been rehearsing every night for the past two months without interruption. He felt that their kitchen squad's performance was also very good, so he also said, "Chief Steward, ours is not bad either, especially the last part. I don't think anyone in the entire army can be as creative as ours!"

Wen Nuan smiled and said objectively, "What the quartermaster said is correct. The performance of the art troupe is indeed very exciting."

After all, they are professionals and their business skills are very good. Even Wen Nuan herself is dazzled.

She didn't expect to see such a wonderful dance performance in the 1970s. It was much more beautiful than what she had seen on TV before. The pride and heroism on their faces were something that no one else could imitate.

Lao Zhong didn't say anything this time, but he added, "It's really wonderful."

The quartermaster was unhappy and pinched Lao Zhong's thigh, "Lao Zhong, you f*cking bully me! We'll end our friendship after tonight's performance!"

Old Zhong put his hands on his hips and said, "If you want to break up, then break up. Why would I care about you?"

The comrades in the kitchen squad looked at the quartermaster cursing again, and everyone laughed.

Perhaps because of this little episode, everyone's nervousness about going on stage to perform was relieved a lot, and when it was time to go on stage, they were ready to give it their all.

Even if there are no fat lambs, it would be great to get a few dozen kilograms of pork.

Wen Nuan calmed everyone down, and then let the accompaniment instrument team led by the quartermaster go on stage first.

Then the chorus and recitation groups came on stage and made a figure eight shape.

As soon as the accompaniment sounded, Yang Xiaomei sang two lines of the Red Song solo, and then they continued to sing together, with warm recitation inserted in the middle.

Commander Xu, who was in the audience, saw Wen Nuan and the quartermaster and smiled: "The kitchen team is actually doing well this year, not bad."

The brigade commander beside him also smiled and said: "Every year their kitchen team is always the last one to come out on top. It looks like they have been preparing for quite a while this time."

Commander Xu smiled and said: "It's different with the addition of fresh blood. Xiao Luo can even play the accordion. This kid."

The brigade commander knew that the fresh blood that Commander Xu was talking about was Wen Nuan, and he took a look at her. Although they were wearing exactly the same uniform, Wen Nuan stood out for some reason.

As soon as you look at the stage, you can notice her at the first moment.

Next to Commander Xu sat a man who was a few years older than him. They were both wearing military uniforms, but this man had the dignity and courage of a superior.

He looked at the stage seriously, and then asked Commander Xu: "The first female comrade on the right side of the stage is the one who rescued Xiao Gu from the avalanche?"

When Commander Xu heard Commander Lu's question, he said, "Yes, it's her."

Commander Lu is the commander of their Northern Theater Command. He had paid close attention to Gu Qinghan's plane crash. After all, Gu Qinghan was one of the best pilots in their Northern Theater Command. If they really lost such a fighter pilot, it would be a huge trauma to their entire air force.

The country has a lot of work to do. It costs a lot of money and time to train a pilot. Gu Qinghan is a relatively talented pilot. If he is gone, it will be difficult to find another pilot as talented as him.

Teacher Xu looked at Wen Nuan on the stage and added, "Now she is working as a nutritionist in the kitchen."

"The kitchen team?" Commander Lu frowned. "Didn't you say that Xiao Gu is still quite young? Why did you assign her to the kitchen team?"

They are happy to praise and reward those who have made contributions to the army. Although Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan are husband and wife, in public, her contribution is at least a second-class merit.

Commander Xu briefly told the story of Wen Nuan exchanging a job for military status. After hearing this, Commander Lu smiled approvingly and said, "He is a comrade with great love."

"It would be nice to have her join our larger Air Force."

Master Xu smiled and said, "You think I don't want to, but Gu Qinghan might not want to let me go."

Commander Lu followed his gaze and looked at Gu Qinghan, who was a few seats away. He saw that Gu Qinghan, who was usually calm, was staring at the stage in a daze without blinking.

Commander Lu couldn't help but curse: "Stinky boy!"

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of children reciting suddenly came from the stage, and a row of children holding red paper airplanes walked out from the backstage and lined up for the photo.

At first glance, the oldest is no more than ten years old, and the youngest...

It's actually a little dumpling less than two years old

The little girl is very cute, with two small pigtails, big, watery eyes, very fair skin, and chubby body. The red skirt makes her look even cuter.

She was seen looking at her paper airplane with a smile on her face. Under the guidance of a young lady beside her, she raised the airplane in her hand high above her head and made a gesture of an airplane taking off.

The whole audience stretched their necks to look at the children on the stage. They had seen so many performances before, but never had children go on stage. This was truly the first time.

Then there was a large wooden fighter jet model that suddenly rose slowly from the stage to the ceiling of the auditorium, still at a slanted angle. It looked like a fighter jet taking off from the runway, and the accompaniment even produced a sonic boom effect, which left everyone dumbfounded.

The people in the audience immediately started discussing, saying:

"What lovely children, why is the youngest one so fat?"

"But she is so cute when she is fat. Look at her eyes, they are bigger than the two of us put together."

"They are holding paper airplanes in their hands. Why do they look so much like our fighter jets? I want one too!"

"I want one too. Even if I can't be a pilot, I want an origami fighter jet!"

Commander Lu was also attracted by the scene on the stage. Why didn't anyone fold such a cool paper airplane for him

He looked at his assistant, who was holding a camera and staring blankly at the stage, and immediately reminded him, "Xiao Feng, take a picture. Why are you just standing there?"

Xiao Feng touched his head and smiled: "Sorry Commander, I will shoot it now."

Commander Lu reminded again: "Take a few more photos for me, especially of the wooden model."

Damn, I want it!

Commander Xu standing by was also itching to try out the lifelike fighter model. He planned to talk to Comrade Wen Nuan about it after the performance. If he put this model in his office, wouldn't the old guys in other divisions be envious

Just as I was thinking this, I finally heard a childish voice saying through the microphone: "I love you, my motherland."

Commander Lu was stunned. Looking at Lele's lovely appearance, a childish face suddenly flashed through his mind and his heart began to tighten.

However, thunderous applause broke out from the audience. Commander Lu slowly came to his senses and clapped his hands as well.

Zhou Guoan, who was standing next to Gu Qinghan, felt his teeth ache. He turned his head and glanced at Gu Qinghan, feeling even more chagrined. "Old Gu, your wife and daughter have attracted a lot of attention tonight. Are you happy?"

Gu Qinghan glanced at the other person and then smiled: "Of course I'm happy."

Her face was full of spring vitality, and it made my head itchy.

Liang Guoan reminded: "You can't be partial, the scoring must be fair and just!"

"Oh?" Gu Qinghan looked at the other person and asked, "How would you rate it?"

Gu Qinghan lowered his eyes slightly and saw that this guy had covered the score with his hand, but he had already seen the "1" at the beginning.

The total score is ten, it can't be one point, so it seems to be ten.

Gu Qinghan then took the pen beside him, and wrote down his score on the score sheet proudly, then smiled slightly.

*

Sister Guihua, who was in the warm group of relatives and friends, almost clapped her hands to pieces in the audience. She knew that Wen Nuan's performance would be very successful, and judging by everyone's response, they seemed to like the show very much.

Seeing that Wen Nuan had finished her performance, she went backstage and planned to pick up Le Le.

Gu Qinglan asked her colleague to cover for half an hour. When she hurried over from the hospital, she happened to see the performance of the kitchen team. Seeing that Lele performed so well, she was so excited that she ran backstage, hugged her and kissed her several times.

"Le Le, you are awesome. You want to be a performer in the future!"

Lele didn't understand what a performer was, but she could tell that Gu Qinglan was praising her, so she smiled and said, "Great!"

"Of course! Our Lele is so awesome!" Gu Qinglan hugged Lele and spun around twice.

The little guy was having fun, and then patted Gu Qinglan's hand and urged: "Auntie, come again, I want to play!"

Gu Qinglan simply held her and spun around twice more. As soon as the little Lele stopped, she asked Gu Qinglan to continue spinning.

After talking to her colleagues in the kitchen for a while, Wen Nuan saw Gu Qinglan turning around a few times. When she stopped, her face turned pale, so she walked over and hugged the laughing Lele.

"Qinglan, are you stupid? The adults will get dizzy if they turn around like this, and you still listen to her."

Just after she finished speaking, Gu Qinglan leaned against a pillar beside her, retching twice, and then begged for mercy: "No, no, no, I am dizzy and about to vomit."

Wen Nuan pinched Le Le's cheek and said, "You're still laughing!"

Lele was fine and thought it was very fun. He hugged Wen Nuan with a smile and wanted her to hug him so he could fly.

Wen Nuan refused without hesitation: "No, go watch the show with your sisters."

Sister Guihua had been backstage for a while. She had just talked to Wen Nuan and the others. Seeing that they were still busy, she took Lele's hand and said, "Come, follow Auntie to watch the show."

Xiaodong, Xiaomei and the others also followed Sister Guihua back to the audience seats.

There were many people backstage, and some saw Gu Qinglan squatting aside, thinking something was wrong with her.

But after a minute, she finally felt better and said, "No, don't play with Lele like this next time. This is too dizzy, isn't it?"

The most infuriating thing is that little Lele was not hurt at all!

"Qinglan, are you okay?" Wen Nuan knew that she had come here specially to watch her performance. Seeing her being messed up like this by the little guy Lele, she felt a little embarrassed.

Wen Nuan asked again: "Can I still go back to work at the hospital?"

Gu Qinglan waved her hand, then stood up from the ground and patted the dust off her pants. "I'm fine. I just felt a little dizzy after turning too many times. I'm not dizzy anymore. I'll go back to work later."

"Okay, if you feel dizzy, sit for a while." Wen Nuan handed her a teapot and asked her to drink some water first.

After Gu Qinglan returned to the hospital, the party was not over yet, so Wen Nuan planned to go over and watch the show with Sister Guihua and the others, but she saw Yang Xiaomei and Ding Guoli talking at the door of the auditorium again.

But before he could say a few words, Ding Guoli turned around and ran away. Yang Xiaomei stood there in a daze for a long time before returning to the auditorium.

When the party was over, Commander Xu came on stage and read out the rankings, and their kitchen team actually won first place!

First place!

Black Goat!!

The quartermaster laughed twice without any image: "We got the black goat! Hahahaha..."

Xiao Zhu: "Great, we can roast a whole lamb!"

Sister Juxiang: "I want to eat mutton skewers, five, no no no, ten!!!"

Old Zhong also laughed out loud: "The lamb kidneys are mine, don't fight over them!"

"Lamb leg, lamb leg, I want to eat lamb leg!"

"Is there anything better than lamb chops? Although I haven't eaten it..."

Everyone looked at the people in the kitchen. They were so happy about getting first place, but was it just for food

Did they forget that there is a reward of one hundred dollars for the first place

Have they all forgotten the hundred dollars

But why did tears flow from my mouth as I listened

In other words, is it too late for them to go to the kitchen now

Woo woo woo, they also want to eat roasted whole lamb!

Wen Nuan looked at everyone laughing without any manners. Although she was happy, she still asked the quartermaster to go on stage to receive the award.

The quartermaster said, "Comrade Wen Nuan, you can go up. This is all thanks to you."

Then he asked, "Does everyone have any objections?"

"Of course I have no objection!"

Wen Nuan had no choice but to go up to the stage with a smile, but the person who presented the certificate was not Commander Xu, but a soldier who had just sat next to Commander Xu.

She had heard from Gu Qinghan before that their Air Force Commander came to visit the soldiers during the National Day party, and she thought that this person must be Commander Lu.

Wen Nuan took the certificate he presented and immediately said "Thank you."

However, when she met Commander Lu's eyes, she found that he seemed to have something to say, but in the end he said nothing.

*

Some are happy and some are sad.

The female comrade from the art troupe looked at the people in the kitchen who were screaming with excitement, and the color suddenly drained from her face.

Sitting in a chair, He Manqing looked at this incredible scene and was deeply surprised.

How come the cooking class got first place

Their performance was obviously very good!

Director Liao of the art troupe frowned and looked at He Manqing, gritting his teeth and said, "Xiao He, why didn't you tell me you had a cold? We can't do without you in our troupe, so why did you go on stage while you were sick!"

It was only after Captain Liao stepped down from the stage that she found out that He Manqing had gone into battle despite being ill. Originally, she thought it was okay, as they would definitely get the first place.

But when the division commander announced that the first place went to the kitchen team, he suddenly got angry.

He Manqing gritted her teeth and said with a pitiful look: "Captain, I'm sorry, I don't think my condition has been affected."

"Stop talking!" Captain Liao said sternly, "Don't do it again!"

Captain Liao looked at He Manqing's pitiful appearance. If it weren't for the fact that she was Commander Lu's goddaughter, she would definitely have punished her with a month of confinement.

He Manqing nodded, then watched as Captain Liao turned around angrily and walked towards the stage.

It was clearly agreed before the performance that she would go on stage to receive the award and have a few words with Commander Lu.

But it is obvious that Captain Liao has forgotten it.

He Manqing looked towards Commander Lu's position from a distance, but he seemed to have forgotten about her. She had clearly winked at him when she was performing on the stage just now, but her grandfather was indifferent and even seemed to have forgotten that she existed.

After Wen Nuan received the certificate, she saw Commander Xu walking towards her with a smile on his face. He then asked, "Comrade Wen Nuan, are you used to being in the kitchen?"

Wen Nuan politely replied, "I'm used to it. Thank you, Master, for giving me such a good job opportunity."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Commander Xu suddenly asked, "Your fighter model is no longer in use, right?"

Wen Nuan thought quickly and then shook her head: "We don't need it. If you want it, our quartermaster will send it to you tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, then you go back." After saying that, Commander Xu walked away humming a tune.

After she celebrated with her colleagues in the kitchen, Gu Qinghan also finished his meal with the leaders and seemed to have drunk some wine.

After living with Gu Qinghan for nearly a year, this was the first time Wen Nuan saw him drinking. Normally, the flight team had a rule not to drink, and Gu Qinghan never touched a drop of alcohol.

But there were times when he had holidays before, and Liang Guoan asked him to go over for a drink, but he went, but he didn't know how to drink.

Are you so happy tonight? You actually drank

Could it be because Commander Lu came to express his condolences
