Chapter 167 Celebration Banquet 2
Commander Zheng and several other leaders took turns giving speeches, followed by the award ceremony.
The winners are almost all from the first and third groups.
The Second Regiment made the most basic mistake, with the awards for officers cancelled and only awards for outstanding individual performance available.
Among the winners, led by Lu Zhengxiao from Group 1, lined up and walked to the right.
First, he was awarded the Individual Outstanding Officer Award.
Political Commissar Li, as the award presenter, took the medal and hung it on his shoulder.
Then he walked to the microphone and began his speech: "Dear leaders, comrades and military wives in the family compound, I would like to take this opportunity to clarify one thing. Commander Lu and I are good comrades, good brothers, and good comrades. We live in harmony and friendship like family members. The report letter is all a rumor. In order to dispel this rumor, I have specially applied to the leader to present an award to my good comrade brother and personally send my blessings."
"Clap, clap, clap!!!" Everyone in the group immediately took the lead in applauding.
Of course, the award ceremony ends with a collective award ceremony.
The officers and outstanding soldiers led by Lu Zhengxiao stood in two rows and marched to the center.
The people in front saluted the leaders, and they stood up and saluted back.
Lu Zhengxiao spoke on behalf of outstanding officers:
"Today, I stand here with a surge of emotion and full of gratitude. This exercise was a complete success. First of all, I would like to thank the leaders for their careful teaching and strict requirements. The carefully arranged military exercises made the comrades feel like they were on the battlefield, and they continued to grow and improve in the exercises. Secondly, we also want to thank the wives of the soldiers for their silent support and hard work behind the scenes, which gave us strong backing and endless strength. Finally, I was awarded the Outstanding Officer Medal, which is not only a personal honor for me, but also an affirmation of our entire regiment. I will keep my mission in mind, defend my country with all my passion, and guard peace with responsibility until the last moment of my life!"
Lu Zhengxiao goes on stage to receive awards and make speeches several times a year, so everyone is used to it. But it is rare to hear him mention his military wife. It turns out that married people are different.
When he was giving a speech thanking the military wives, his eyes were always on his wife's face, and Shen Ye Ning was also looking at him.
The moment their eyes met, they could feel each other's heart beating through the crowd and across the distance.
The military wives nearby were extremely envious when they saw this.
Who wouldn’t envy handsome men and beautiful women showing their love?
If you have a husband like this, what more can your wife ask for?
The award ceremony ended with a performance by the art troupe.
Everyone was fascinated by the musical instruments, singing and skits, after all, they were the rare entertainment activities in the boring training of the army.
As the mainstay of the art troupe, Lin Shu had performed three singing and dancing shows before. In the finale, she sang a song "Green Flower in the Army" alone.
Standing on duty is to defend the country
Not afraid of wind and rain
Sincerely wish mom
May mother live a long and healthy life
Come home when you celebrate
come see good mother again
There is a good girl in my hometown
……
This song is her best song. Her voice echoed in the hall, and every note seemed to be telling the story of the soldier's reluctance to part with his loved ones and his deep attachment to home.
As the recruits listened, their hearts were touched little by little. They thought of their relatives and beloved girls in their hometown far away. Their eyes began to moisten, and they raised their hands to quietly wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes.
As the last song ended, the free performance session began.
The host comrade stood in front of the microphone and said, "Excuse me, are there any military wives comrades who have prepared a performance?"
Huang Cuihua immediately volunteered and raised her hand, "Me! I'll do it!"
The host looked in her direction and said with a smile, "Good! It seems that this sister-in-law came prepared. Please come on stage!"
She stood up excitedly. Because she had been sitting for a long time and was sweating easily, and the material of her skirt was poor, her skirt still stuck to her buttocks after she stood up and walked for a while.
It was only after someone’s wife carefully reminded her that she pulled her skirt down.
She turned her head and quickly pulled it off with force.
It makes others want to laugh but dare not to.
Even so, she was not discouraged at all. She bravely went on stage to sing "Long Live the Chairman" on National Day.
You are the red sun in our hearts
We have so many kind words to say to you.
How many passionate songs we want to sing for you
Millions of hearts are turning toward Beijing
Millions of smiling faces facing the red sun
……
If the full score is ten, she sang eight points, which is pretty good for someone who is not a professional singer to sing so well.
The comrades present applauded very respectfully.
Huang Cuihua was almost crazy with joy when she heard everyone's applause. She had regained face for herself and her man. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. It was all the result of her hard work in studying and practicing these days.
She pushed aside the host and walked to the microphone and said, "I remember that both Shen Ye Ning and Ye Xiao Jun, the military wives, are good at singing. Why don't you come up and sing a song as well?"
Lin Chunmei and Zhang Xiaomei had never heard them sing.
Where did Huang Cuihua hear this from?
It must be a deliberate prank.
They are so young and have only been military wives for less than a year. They have never learned military songs and may not be able to sing them.
Lin Chunmei asked worriedly, "Xiao Ning, can you sing military songs? We have learned a little, although none of us can sing as well as Huang Cuihua. How about we help you sing?"
Zhang Xiaomei also said, "Sister-in-law Chunmei is right. My husband and I have learned two military songs. Although I don't sing them very well, I still remember the lyrics. It will be fine with Sister-in-law guiding me."
Shen Ye Ning said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law. You are pregnant, so you should take a good rest. My grandfather is a soldier. I learned from him before. We can all sing. It won't be embarrassing. Don't worry."
Huang Cuihua stood on the stage and saw them discussing in a low voice without standing up, so she concluded that they definitely could not sing.
With so many people watching, if they refuse, not only will they be embarrassed, but they will also bring shame upon their men.
What’s the point of Lu Zhengxiao being in the spotlight?
The daughter-in-law can't even sing a military song. She, Huang Cuihua, is a good and virtuous wife to her husband.
"What are you waiting for? Go on stage. If you don't know how to sing, just sing a few lines." Huang Cuihua urged.
Lu Zhengxiao was about to speak up to help, so he went to sing.
Then Shen Ye Ning's beautiful voice was heard from the back, "Sorry, because every military song is very nice, we are discussing which one to sing, and we have kept you waiting for a long time."
The host smiled and said, "It's okay, take your time, we have plenty of time today."
It didn't take long, just two or three minutes.
The two of them stood up and walked onto the stage together, one in red and one in blue, with firm steps and full aura, without the slightest bit of stage fright.
Huang Cuihua's face turned green when she saw the two people go on stage.
Don't they know how to do it? How dare they?
Look at the momentum? It seems like he can sing, and he seems to sing well.
Humph! Everyone is good at putting on airs. You're going to make a fool of yourself in a moment.
He left the scene angrily. Just after taking two steps, he heard the sound of clothes tearing. "Tear!"
It turned out that she pulled her skirt too hard and accidentally pulled off the zipper.
The side of the zipper opened, and the opening accidentally hooked the corner of the square table where the microphone was placed.
The skirt was almost torn from the sides, revealing the underwear underneath.
She looked down and screamed in fear, "Ah!"
When she came to her senses, she quickly grabbed him with both hands, ran hurriedly off the stage, but missed the stairs and fell down.
Seeing this, the female comrades from the art troupe took off their military jackets, put them on her, and helped her down.
