Chapter Twenty-Three: Watching the Show
The two people who already have a good foundation, coupled with Shen Anguo's special training, naturally make rapid progress.
Shen Anguo was going back to school on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and before that, there were only a few days to make up the class, but the effect was surprisingly good.
Therefore, the matter of making up the class is not only on the one hand of the students or teachers, but also on the part of good teachers, and the effect of students who are not serious should be greatly discounted.
On the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the Military Region Art Troupe had a New Year performance.
In fact, this New Year's performance is mainly for the condolence performance of military families who came to the army during the Spring Festival.
Although there are many family members of the military in the compound, there are not only officers but also soldiers and non-commissioned officers in this unit.
Even if the policy of accompanying the army has changed decades later, the family members of non-commissioned officers can still join the army, and there are certain requirements.
At this time, there are even fewer family members who can join the army, after all, the family members of officers who must meet the conditions above the company and battalion level can join the army.
Most of the soldiers are looking for a partner in their hometown, and the family members who have no way to join the army can only come to the army in large numbers to visit their relatives during the Spring Festival one year.
Although the Spring Festival is a time for thousands of families to reunite, the troops must always maintain combat readiness. This is also the reason why the Shen family came to the provincial capital for the New Year because of Shen Xingcheng's two husband and wife.
Because of the particularity of the military, many families cannot be reunited at this time.
After all, it is only a part of the people who can be reunited, whether it is a vacation to return to their hometown, or a family member in their hometown, these people who can get together are happy.
In any case, the Spring Festival is also the most important and solemn festival for the Chinese people, and there is no way to go home, many soldiers are homesick, and at this time, to stabilize the emotions of those homesick soldiers, it is natural to take some forms to carry out some activities.
Although the conditions are limited and many activities cannot be arranged, the families of officers and soldiers will be asked to make dumplings in the canteen every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, so that everyone will not seem so lonely to celebrate the New Year together.
On the one hand, the theatrical performance on the fourth night of the Lunar New Year is to express condolences to the military families visiting their relatives, and it is also a condolence performance for the officers and soldiers who cannot go home for the New Year.
The performance of the Fourth Art Troupe every year is actually more important than every other performance, so Li Lanfang has been performing since the beginning of the year.
Although she is not as busy as her husband, she has often run to the group to inquire about the preparation of the performance at any time since the first day of the new year.
Fortunately, Li Lanfang has been the head of the regiment for a few years, and this kind of work is not the first time that this kind of work has been carried out, so there is not so much pressure.
On the evening of the fourth day of the new year, the daughter-in-law of the uncle of the Shen family had already left to return to her parents' house for the second year of junior high school, and the rest of the staff naturally wanted to go to the show.
Shen Anjun and Mei Ya, who were still studying intensively, were also asked by Shen Anguo to have a proper combination of work and rest, study hard, and watch performances, after all, it is a rare opportunity to relax.
Even if Shen Anguo doesn't say it, Shen Anjun doesn't plan to miss this opportunity.
In the past, Shen Anjun grew up watching performances since she was a child, but she is not, she has not officially watched the performance of the army art troupe, after all, although the memories are also very clear, they are not as good as the live version.
There were many people in the Shen family who came to see the performance, because Li Lanfang was the head of the troupe, so they reserved a place for everyone in the fourth row early, and they didn't have to come in advance to occupy a seat.
Naturally, they are not the only ones who do this, at least the military and political commissar's family also has a reserved place.
With so many people coming to see the performance, it is impossible to say that Commander Shen has no place to sit, but if the seats of the family are not reserved in advance, I am afraid that there may be no place to sit if they come late.
Because there are too many family members every time, even the auditorium is too big to accommodate so many people, even if some stools are placed in the back, in the end, there are still some late arrivals every year who can only stand and watch.
The performance started at half past seven in the evening, and although there was already a place for it, the Shen family would not come too late every time.
After all, if you sit so far forward, if you wait for the opening to start, you have to squeeze in from the back, then there will already be people standing, and you will definitely feel uncomfortable when you find that there are still good places to sit in such a large number of people all of a sudden.
Therefore, adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, the Shen family will generally arrive at around 6:50.
This year, as usual, at 6:50, the Shen family entered the venue and sat in the old position waiting for the start of the performance, looking at the old acquaintances before and after.
Almost every year, they sit next to each other, and everyone chats about family life.
Shen Anjun looked around and felt strange when he didn't see his mother.
According to her previous memory, her mother would usually come out to watch the show with them at this time, and everything that should be prepared was ready, and as the head of the troupe, she didn't have to keep an eye on the backstage, each department had its own person in charge.
"Brother, where did mom go today, why hasn't she come here at seven o'clock?"
After waiting for ten minutes at seven o'clock, and Li Lanfang was still missing, Shen Anjun felt even more strange, so she asked her brother.
"I don't know, isn't there something going on today? Why don't you go backstage and take a look? ”
It's really a bit abnormal, I don't know if there's something wrong, Shen Anguo thought about it and asked his sister to go backstage to find her mother.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Shen Anjun said a word to his father and went backstage.
Her relationship with Meiya is not so good that she takes her everywhere she goes, although she can see that Meiya also wants to go backstage together, but she also pretends not to see it and goes alone.
As soon as I entered the backstage, I saw my mother's figure, and I just walked in to call my mother.
I heard my mother's serious voice: "What do you say now?" I've said before that every performance must be prepared foolproof, and now you're telling me that there was a mistake in the opening show? Can anyone sing this "Hymn to Heroes" well? “
It seems that the singer of the opening song may have gone wrong.
"I can't help this, who can know that Shen Dan was hit by a car before going on the stage, and she was fine in the afternoon, not to mention that her performance clothes are not suitable and she has to go out to repair her clothes, isn't it a coincidence.
Commander, you also said that this "Hymn to Heroes" is not easy to sing, there are few people in our group who have good voices, and this song can only be sung by Shen Dan, I didn't arrange it at the time, you see, let's hurry up and think of a temporary replacement candidate now. ”
Li Ye, the deputy head of the regiment, also didn't expect this to come out, if he knew that he could make such a mistake, he wouldn't dare to criticize Shen Dan's fake.
"I don't believe you don't know what Shen Dan's girl is thinking, didn't she fall in love with Zhang Tiejun of the Tiger Regiment, and you believe it when she asked for leave to repair clothes, who knows what she did!"
Where is there anyone to repair her clothes for the New Year, this is the Chinese New Year Zhang Tiejun's house, and she was hit on the way back, so I don't dare to say it at this time.
