Chapter Eighty-Nine: Green Flowers in the Army

Originally, Sun Lei also wanted to visit the platoon commander Liu Sanshun and the veteran Deng Sanshui in the same class, but he agreed to help Zhou Haihui in a favor, and it was precisely because of this favor that he couldn't be happy.

Then he naturally didn't have any leisure to visit his comrades-in-arms again, but returned to the tent where the lightly wounded man was staying, lying on the bed and meditating for two days, how to help Zhou Haihui with this favor, not to mention how brilliant it would be at that time, but at least it must not be embarrassing.

The reason why Sun Lei felt that Zhou Haihui asked him to help was very embarrassed and worried, because Zhou Haihui actually asked him to perform a singing program at the farewell party two days later, and he has been a person with incomplete five tones since he was a child, no matter what language or type of song he sings, he is not in tune.

For a person who sings with incomplete pentatonic tones and is not in tune, letting him sing in front of an audience of hundreds or thousands of people is definitely a test comparable to life and death, and Sun Lei at this time really even wants to die.

But the problem is that Sun Lei has already agreed to help Zhou Haihui with this favor, and it is too late for him to regret it now, so he can only do everything he can to complete it. Otherwise, two days later, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed at the farewell party.

Sun Lei, who was lying on the bed, thought about it all day, didn't go anywhere, and finally in the evening, he thought hard about a song for himself, but to try.

Not only that, but Sun Lei, who usually doesn't have a little confidence in singing, became full of confidence after he chose this song, and even he himself didn't believe it very much, he could really sing this song well, it was amazing.

In the following day, in addition to sleeping and resting at night, even when he was eating or going to the toilet, he kept humming the lyrics of the song he chose, and every time he hummed it, it was catchy, and gradually grasped the rhythm of the song.

I have to say that the hard work pays off, Sun Lei finally memorized the lyrics of this song backwards before the night of the first day, and when he sang quietly, he felt more and more beautiful.

Whether it is writing an article or singing a song, you must first be able to impress yourself, and then you can impress others, and Sun Lei is working towards this goal.

Soon, two days passed, and less than an hour before the start of the farewell party, Sun Lei dressed in a neat military uniform and came to the venue of the farewell party, which was an open and open place, just in front of thousands of spectators, a simple stage was built with wooden stakes and planks.

After walking to the sidelines, Sun Lei looked at the audience, and there were at least 1,000 people sitting in the audience at the front of the stage, including doctors and nurses from the field hospital, as well as wounded soldiers, all of whom were sitting on the ground, close to each other.

Sun Lei, who had been walking around the sidelines several times, found Zhou Haihui, who was very busy, and reported the name of the song he was going to sing to her.

At first, Zhou Haihui, who was very busy, was taken aback when she heard the title of the song that Sun Lei reported to her, and asked Sun Lei in a curious tone: "Comrade Sun Lei, why have I never heard of the name of the song you want to sing later, are you sure you want to sing it?" ”

After listening to Zhou Haihui's question, Sun Lei secretly said proudly: If you have heard this song, it will be strange, the song I want to sing to you will not appear until more than sixty years later, if you have heard it, unless the sun comes out of the west.

Faced with Zhou Haihui's question, Sun Lei asked rhetorically in a flat tone: "Comrade Zhou Haihui, this song was created by myself, how could you have heard it?" ”

At this time, Zhou Haihui thought about it, since Sun Lei had already made this decision, and, looking at him with confidence, let him sing this song he created, now it's too late to change it temporarily, so he can just let him go, anyway, it's just a farewell party, and it doesn't matter if he sings well or not.

This time, the farewell party officially began at 9 o'clock in the morning and lasted until more than 12 o'clock at noon, which lasted for more than three hours, opening with a chorus, interspersed with different forms of programs such as allegro and dance.

After each show, the more than 1,000 audiences sitting in the audience were very supportive, no matter whether the performance was good or bad, they all won their applause and cheers, and Sun Lei, who was sitting in the first row of the audience, was worried every time he saw the end of a program.

Because he sat in the first row of the audience for two and a half hours, he never heard Zhou Haihui, who was in charge of the newspaper, read his name, which almost exhausted his self-confidence, which naturally made him feel restless all the time.

"Comrades, the last program of this farewell party is to invite Comrade Sun Lei, the representative of our combat heroes, to present a song to everyone, which he spent two days forgetting to sleep and eating.

"Next, let us applaud Comrade Sun Lei and sing this song "Green Flowers in the Army" for everyone!" At the end of this farewell party, Zhou Haihui, who served as the announcer, stood in the center of the stage, facing the more than 1,000 audiences in the audience, and said in a sweet voice.

As soon as Zhou Haihui's words fell, thunderous applause rang out from the audience, and Sun Lei, who was sitting in a row of the audience, walked all the way to the stage tremblingly, and bowed to the enthusiastic audience in front of the audience, and then began his solo:

The cold wind flutters the leaves

The army is a green flower

Dear comrades-in-arms, don't be homesick

Don't think about mom

I call day and night, how many words from my heart

Don't tear your eyes when parting

The barracks are our warm home

Mom, don't worry

I've grown up, child

To resist US aggression and aid Korea is to defend the country

I'm not afraid of bullets and bullets

Heartfelt blessings to Mom

May my mother live a long and healthy life

Wait until victory and then go home

Let's visit my good mother again

There is a good girl in my hometown

I often dream of her

Men in the army also have affection

I am also willing to accompany you to the end of the world

Just because of the heavy responsibility

I had to let go of my love first

The white clouds flutter to bring my love

The green flowers in the army were given to her

…………

It is no exaggeration to say that without waiting for Sun Lei to finish singing the song "Green Flowers in the Army", which he had made small changes to, the more than 1,000 audience members sitting in the audience, whether it was doctors and nurses, or the wounded, were all moved to tears and tears.

With the lyrics sung by Sun Lei, many of them have really begun to miss their relatives in their hometowns far away, including their elderly parents at home, their wives and children who are looking forward to their return, and which good girl who stayed in their hometown......
