Sweet 80s

Chapter 23: What a mess. What's so scary about a blind date?

After much thought, I decided to tell Li Xianglan about helping her rehearse the show.

The situation now is like 'the arrow is on the string and has to be shot', even if Lin Xiangdong disagrees, it will be of no avail.

When all the children went out and focused their attention on the puppy, Wang Shuping spoke.

"Xiangdong, there's something I haven't told you. At first I was afraid you wouldn't agree, and then when I wanted to tell you you were out driving your car, so I've delayed it until now..."

The couple has been married for many years. Based on her understanding of her wife, Wang Shuping rarely hesitates when speaking and always speaks his mind.

Lin Xiangdong brainstormed, but after guessing for a long time, he still couldn't guess what this embarrassing topic was.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"That day at noon I went to bring you lunch, oh, that time when I met Daliang..."

Another beam? Could it be...

"Auntie Xianglan mentioned the program your company is planning. She later came after me and wanted me to help her innovate on the program..."

Call ~

Lin Xiangdong let out a long sigh: "She asked you to help her with the show?"

"Ah."

Lin Xiangdong smiled and said, "You are not an artist, so what kind of show can you perform?"

Wang Shuping bit her lip and said nothing.

He suddenly realized that the next day would be the Labor Day performance day, and he was afraid that his wife might really be putting on a show.

"You, really have a show?"

Wang Shuping nodded: "Yes, yes."

"What show?"

Lin Xiangdong suddenly became interested. He jumped from the chair opposite to where Wang Shuping was sitting and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Two-person show."

"You can also do a duet?!"

Wang Shuping frowned and said in a low voice with a worried look on her face: "You won't blame me for showing up and embarrassing you, right?"

"Shame on you? What shame on you? It's not stealing or robbing. Besides, not just anyone can go up on that stage. If you ask them to go, they won't even know where to get on and where to get off."

"At first I didn't want to agree to Aunt Xianglan's request, but I didn't know how to refuse."

"Don't worry, your father supports you unconditionally."

After saying that, he took Wang Shuping's hand and held it tightly in his own.

"When I was serving in the army in Northeast China, my favorite part was Errenzhuan, especially the part about greeting the new year."

Seeing that Lin Xiangdong not only did not object to her intervening in the unit's performance, but also revealed his love for the program in his conversation, she finally put her mind at ease.

"Yes, that's the part."

Lin Xiangdong's eyes lit up. He had never thought that his wife had this ability. It seemed that he didn't know her well enough.

"I haven't heard it since I left the military. I really miss it. Why don't you sing a few lines for me first?"

Wang Shuping waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't perform, I just guide them in acting."

"What?" The smile on Lin Xiangdong's face disappeared instantly: "Who will sing then?"

"It's Niu Aifeng and another elder sister."

Hearing his wife say this, Lin Xiangdong was immediately stunned, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times in disgust.

"Her, do they understand the performance?"

"It was a good performance. Manager Du even praised it personally."

Lin Xiangdong rolled his eyes subconsciously and tried to persuade Wang Shuping to go on stage in person with a very regretful tone.

"No, you really don't want to sing? A show in the Northeast must be performed by people from the Northeast."

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "I really don't sing."

"I was so happy for nothing. By the way..."

After Lin Xiangdong finished speaking, he frowned and said to Wang Shuping.

"We've been married for so long, don't you know who I am? You must be having a hard time hiding something in your heart."

"Yes, that's right." Wang Shuping lowered her eyebrows, like a child who realized her mistake.

"It's okay. We both need to reflect on this in the future. If you have anything to say, just say it directly, so you don't have to keep it in your heart and it's tiring."

After saying this, Lin Xiangdong hugged Wang Shuping in his arms.

"Do you remember how we met?"

"Of course, I will never forget it. On a Saturday morning in winter that year, Xiaojuan ran to my house anxiously and said that her aunt had introduced her to a soldier, and she didn't dare to go, so she asked me to go with her..."

Her head rested gently on his chest, and accompanied by the sound of strong and powerful heartbeats, the two recalled the scene of their first meeting.

----

"How can that be possible? You guys are on a blind date and I'm just standing there like a fool. What's there to be afraid of? Just go by yourself."

At the head of the kang, Wang Shuping was sewing her cotton-padded clothes.

"Xiao Ping, I've never been on a blind date before and I don't know what to say. It's awkward. Just stay with me."

The woman who was speaking was Yang Xiaojuan, Wang Shuping’s childhood neighbor and good friend.

"What a complete mess. What's there to be afraid of on a blind date? I'm not asking you to go to war. Just ask whatever you want to know."

"Please, let's go together, please~"

Yang Xiaojuan leaned over and put her hands on the other person's legs and shook them violently.

"Just go with her."

At this time, Wang Shuping's mother came in from the outer room.

"Xiaojuan is timid, you should stay by her side and ask her a few more questions to help her check things out."

"Look, my aunt has spoken, so just go with me."

Only after the Queen Mother gave the order did Wang Shuping agree.

"Alright, alright, you're such a pain in the ass."

Although she complained about Yang Xiaojuan, Wang Shuping was still a little scared in her heart, especially when she learned that the other party was a soldier.

"A soldier!"

"Yes, my second aunt's sister's husband is in the army. I heard he is a company commander. He has several people under him who are about my age, so I introduced them to each other."

Wang Shuping had an inexplicable admiration for "soldiers" since she was a child, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

She looked down at the ground, and used her feet to push the unmelted snow on the ground, using her body movements to conceal the subtle changes in her heart.

"Xiao Ping, what kind of man do you want to find?"

The two arrived at the park early and chatted casually while waiting.

"Nothing specific, but a person must have good character and know how to love his wife..."

"We Northeastern men love our wives. If you find someone from another place, will you go with him?"

Wang Shuping never thought about the problem of her friends.

She is the eldest in the family, with parents above her and younger brothers and sisters below her.

She spent most of her time and energy on her family's life and really didn't think much about her future emotional direction.

"Of course not. I, I will not leave the Northeast. Will you leave?"

Yang Xiaojuan shrank her neck and said, "I don't know either..."

"It's cold now, there's no one to buy things in the park. Hey, Xiaojuan, when we go back later, let's buy some roasted sweet potatoes..."

Before Wang Shuping finished her words, a man not far away walked into their sight.

The man was wearing a green military coat. His tall and slender but not rough figure still showed his upright posture under the coat.

Overall, he seems to be stronger than the average man.

The leather boots on his feet were polished to a very bright shine, and the leather hat on his head wrapped himself extremely tightly.

There was a thick layer of white frost on the exposed sword-like eyebrows, and under the white frost were a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, which would make people fall into them easily.

"Excuse me, are you here for a blind date?" the man spoke first.

After only looking at each other for a few seconds, Wang Shuping admitted defeat in front of him. She suddenly moved her eyes away from him and turned to look at Yang Xiaojuan.

"Yes, I'm Yang Xiaojuan."

"Hello, my name is Lin Xiangdong. Our company commander introduced me..."

I don’t know why, but even though I’ve heard so many voices, I think his voice is the most magnetic.

The rhythmic and clear pronunciation makes people seem to be able to feel the power and warmth in his words.

After a few simple words, Lin Xiangdong took off his hat and mask.

When the whole face was revealed, the smooth and fair face showed a sharp and cold look, which made him look more domineering at first glance.

But from time to time he had a bohemian smile on his face while talking.

Wang Shuping's heart immediately skipped a beat. She knew that Lin Xiangdong's face would always have a place in her heart.

Next, Lin Xiangdong and Yang Xiaojuan walked along an ice-covered lake in the park, while Wang Shuping sat on a bench nearby and waited.

Looking at their backs, she couldn't tell why, but her heart seemed to be tugged at by someone, and she felt a huge sense of loss enveloping her.

But what Wang Shuping doesn't know at this time is that a wonderful love story that will change her life is about to begin...
