There is also spring for passers-by

Now, the sister of the second-in-command of the military region caught her hugging her husband and became jealous. In less than half a day, everyone in the military region knew what Hua Hua had done, and her reputation was ruined.

She was even escorted back to the island by two cadres sent by the military district.

As soon as they landed on the island, the military district officer handed over documents to the commander of the garrison on the island, explaining Hua Hua's mistakes in the army, including repeated violations of regulations, disregard for military rules, and the significant property losses caused to the art troupe due to dereliction of duty.

Hua Jianguo's face turned red. It was so embarrassing. He had lived for nearly fifty years and had never felt so embarrassed.

Hua Hua buried her head, not daring to say a word. After being sent back, how would she live her life in the future?

If she had known that those people were ruthless, she would have obeyed their orders obediently. However, the people in the military compound said that she was sent back to her registered place because she also seduced Captain Huang and was caught red-handed by Mrs. Huang. They accused her of having promiscuous relationships with both men and women and having improper conduct.

She really wasn't hugging anyone. She wanted to pull Captain Qiu to plead for mercy, but someone kicked her and she stumbled. She instinctively reached out and hugged Captain Huang.

After the military district’s cadres and staff finished their official business, they handed the person over to the commander and political commissar of the island garrison and left.

The new troupe leader called the military district and said, "Old Qi, today Officer Lin and Section Chief Qin from the Military District Discipline Inspection Section sent Hua Hua, a former artist from the Military District Art Troupe, back home. Could you tell me what happened there?"

A man's burly voice came from the other end: "Lao Shi, what are you talking about?

That girl had a bad style. She was close to several company commanders and counselors in the art troupe. They often went to see her and gave her snacks.

The art troupe asked her to take care of the costumes for the performances. She hid snacks in the warehouse where the clothes were stored. She didn't know how long she had been doing this, but many of the costumes were damaged by rats, which was a huge loss.

Last year, she was asked to manage props. She was unaware of the safety hazards of the lights above the stage, which fell during rehearsal and injured someone. The injured young comrade has already been discharged and returned home early.

Just yesterday, she hugged Captain Huang and wouldn't let go, demanding he not punish her. Why would an unmarried woman like that hug Captain Huang? Captain Huang's wife caught them, saying that since she joined the group, she's been pulling Captain Huang around for various reasons. One time, she even acted coquettishly, asking him to give her a bag of White Rabbit candy, a birthday gift from Captain Huang to his youngest daughter. If he refused, she'd grab it.

Lao Qi, there are many such things.

She was even more like a spoiled brat in the art troupe. She wouldn't wash her own clothes, but would pay other female soldiers a dime or two to help her with her laundry. That was fine, but later she even asked them to fold her bedding. This had a very negative impact, and everyone in the art troupe was very dissatisfied with her..."

After hearing this, Hua Jianguo raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face. "Look at what you've done. Why are you so bad? Can't you just be more content?"

"Dad, you hit me? Woohoo—I'm going to tell Mom." Hua Hua turned around and ran all the way home.

Grandma Hua saw her coming back in her casual clothes, "Hua Hua, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance, Hua Hua?"

Hua Hua threw himself on his bed and burst into tears. He had never suffered such pain since he was a child.

When Liu Kangmei came home from get off work, she saw her daughter crying. After asking her the reason, she was silent for a long time. She felt ashamed and could not say any words of comfort against her will.

Hua Hua lost her appetite. She was no longer destined to be with the handsome company commander from the third generation of the Red Army, nor were she destined to be with the battalion commanders who had once tried to please her.

Liu Kangmei was really worried, so she could only contact her mother's family and ask her father if he could find a way to help Hua Hua. The child was only 21 years old, and her reputation in the Southern Military Region was too bad. Maybe changing her environment would be better.

Commander Liu replied and asked Hua Hua to go to Jing City. He would use his connections to arrange a job for Hua Hua in Jing City.

Hua Hua seemed to have an obsession with the stage: "Grandpa, I want to join the Central Art Troupe!"

"Hua Hua, the Central Art Troupe consists of graduates from major art schools across the country. They are all top-notch students, hand-picked from hundreds of thousands of countries. They possess extraordinary artistic talent. You can't get in, and I can't grant you this privilege."

During the ten-year campaign, the troupe was thrown into chaos, but three years earlier, the artists who had been reassigned to local troupes were gradually transferred back. These artists were the top talents in various fields of song and dance. The current troupe leaders, political commissars, and deputy leaders were all people who had received help and protection from Ji Meiyun back then.

To protect himself, Commander Liu divorced Ji Meiyun immediately after the incident and married the family's nanny three days after the divorce. This incident was known to everyone in the song and dance troupe at the time, and because of it, Ji Meiyun's former colleagues, subordinates, and actors in the troupe were very dissatisfied with him.

Although he was not in that circle, he knew that after Ji Meiyun's disciples returned to Beijing, they reported all the favors they owed Ji Meiyun to Ji Wenwan.

"Grandpa, wasn't grandma the head of the group there back then?"

"When your mother was young, she also wanted to join the Central Art Troupe, but your grandmother refused. She said that the Central Art Troupe was my country's song and dance art postcard to the outside world, and there was no room for anyone who didn't understand art. Your mother resented your grandmother for this for the rest of her life."

Hua Hua asked, "Does the Central Art Troupe really understand everything?"

"During the Ten-Year Movement, not all of them were artists, but before that, they were artists hand-picked from song and dance troupes across the country. Two years ago, an artist who had studied abroad returned to China and became deputy director. Later, the troupe's political commissar was rehabilitated and returned to his post. Together, they reorganized the troupe. The entire troupe underwent a major shakeup. Those who had been sent by your grandmother to local troupes have gradually returned, and when they returned, a group of truly outstanding artists were transferred back. Now the artistic atmosphere there is very strong, and even the odd jobs understand art..."

The full name of the current song and dance troupe is the Central General Political Department Song and Dance Art Troupe. It is full of people who really understand the art of song and dance. The members have not only one or two talents, but as many as more than a dozen.

Ji Meiyun is a pure person. After she knew that things were going to get worse, she sent the artists to local song and dance troupes across the country. Before they left, she told them, "Dawn has come, and daybreak is not far away. When you go to the local song and dance troupes, you can train more professional talents for the country. Our culture and art lag far behind other countries. There is no place for our artists in various international dance and singing competitions. But as long as we work hard, we will eventually win glory for our song and dance art, and let the world know China through song and dance art and feel its charm."

Hua Hua pouted and said, "Grandpa, can I join the Beijing Song and Dance Troupe?"

"Beijing is not an option. There are many Beijing-born soldiers in the Southern Military Region, and they all know about your situation. You also don't want your colleagues and leaders to know about your situation there."

You should go to the Tongyang City Song and Dance Troupe, 300 kilometers away from Beijing. It's convenient for you to take the train during the New Year holidays. You can buy a ticket tonight and arrive in Beijing early the next day. No one there will know about your past, which will also protect you. Your aunt used to be an actress there. She knows the director and teachers of the Tongyang City Song and Dance Troupe. When you go there, I can find a good teacher to teach you."

Hua Hua was sent to the Tongyang City Song and Dance Troupe by Commander Liu, who had retreated to the second line.

Once there, everything would be a new beginning, and no one would know about her past experiences in the Southern Military Region.
