"A stage play?"

Several people looked at each other.

"Is it the kind where they sing and dance on stage?"

When Anning heard them say that, she remembered it too.

Stage plays of this era...

Ok……

Anyway, he's not the type she would appreciate.

Anyway, based on the performances the original owner had seen in the factory before, there was an indescribable sense of tranquility... a vibrant... rustic charm.

"Not that kind, it's another kind."

Anning explained the situation of the skit to the group, and everyone thought it was very interesting. They unanimously agreed to change the program from a chorus to a skit.

However, after agreeing to change the program, another question arose:

"So, what story should we tell?"

What kinds of stories do you usually like to hear?

"It's just about each family's affairs..."

When the military wife spoke, she deliberately avoided mentioning Anning's experiences from the previous two days, instead using family matters to explain, for fear that her words might offend Anning.

After all, they need her help now, and she has also offered some more innovative suggestions.

They could even imagine how much praise this new show would bring them.

“Then let’s talk about each family’s affairs,” An Ning said.

However, to the others, it made no difference whether these words were spoken or not.

However, Anning quickly voiced her idea: "This is a cultural performance by the military. The people here are either soldiers or their families, so I suggest that our story revolve around soldiers and their families."

After Anning finished speaking, she paused for a moment, wanting to hear what the others thought.

But how could these people who came to find Zhao Xuemei and her possibly have ulterior motives?

They were all waiting for Anning to continue.

"Girl, stop being so mysterious. Just tell us what you want to say, and we'll do as you say!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I think you're absolutely right. Since this is your idea, we'll do it your way."

An Ning said helplessly, "Then I'll share my thoughts, and you can add to them after we've finished."

The story she envisioned was actually quite simple, starting with an argument between a couple.

At first, both sides had their own reasons, and each felt that the other did not understand them, and even did some of the bizarre things that people usually enjoy watching.

So the couple went to their respective friends to confide in them, only to unexpectedly stumble upon a chaotic mess at their friend's home.

Both friends felt sorry for each other, but they also saw their own reflections in each other, and began to reflect on their own shortcomings and try to see things from the other's perspective.

Finally, the couple poured out their hearts to each other, concluding with a beautiful and harmonious life together.

This story may seem a bit old-fashioned to later generations, but it was quite novel at that time and reflected the spirit of the people of that era.

Moreover, there are many humorous moments that can be interspersed throughout the performance. An Ning feels that if there are no unexpected incidents during the performance, it should achieve good results.

"Girl, you're amazing! How did you come up with that? I can't figure it out at all!" Zhao Xuemei had said this to An Ning countless times.

Others chimed in, "I used to argue with my husband too. He always felt that he was working so hard outside while I was just enjoying myself at home. In reality, I'm the one who worries about the whole family, and when he comes home, he just acts like a king. He doesn't help me with chores and even adds to my burden. We argued about it several times without any resolution, so I eventually gave up on him!"

"Who says it's not?"

"But there are six of us here, and they're all women. The story only has two men and two women, what do we do?"

“That’s easy,” An Ning said. “I’m the screenwriter, so I won’t be responsible for going on stage…”

Before she could finish speaking, her words were rejected by everyone.

"no!"

"This idea was all yours. How could you not go on stage for something so great? Besides, you're so beautiful, you absolutely have to go on stage!"

"If it doesn't work out, I won't go on. There are so many people performing at the arts festival, I'm afraid I'll mess things up if I go on stage!"

"Yes, yes, I can skip it too, but Anning, you absolutely have to go!"

An Ning had no choice but to add some peacemakers and villains who sowed discord.

That's great! Not only can everyone participate, but it also frees up two spots for male actors, so there's no need for cross-dressing performances.

After the story was finalized, An Ning was responsible for writing the script as soon as possible so that everyone could memorize it, while Zhao Xuemei led the others to make set props and was responsible for finding two men to play the roles of the husband in the story.

Thanks to the deliberate promotion by several military wives, the families in the residential area soon learned that Anning had taken over the mess left by Tang Qiuqiao.

Tang Qiuqiao glared resentfully at the two military wives who, on the surface, had come to inform her of a message but were actually there to laugh at her. Her tone still carried the same arrogance she had in the past.

"Ha! They think they can just believe whatever they want? I'm from Shanghai! That's the most developed place in the country. The most fashionable clothes in the department stores come from there! Without me, what innovative things could a bunch of country bumpkins come up with?"

When the two military wives saw that Tang Qiuqiao had indeed said what they wanted to hear, just as they had hoped, they deliberately contradicted her.

"What if? I think they're really confident now, they're all incredibly serious, saying they're going to give us a surprise!"

"They're definitely faking it!" Tang Qiuqiao said decisively. "Do they think no one in the army has ever seen a stage play? A stage play is so long, how could the higher-ups possibly approve their application to change the program!"

"But I heard that the cultural troupe has already agreed, and not only that, they've added two more people!"

"That means they cut the play short. What's the point of a play that's been cut short? Just you wait and see. By New Year's Day, either they'll find all sorts of excuses not to perform, or they'll become everyone's laughing stock!"

On the other side, Anning and her team, holding the script, successfully won the praise of the leaders of the military arts troupe.

Not only were they provided with a rehearsal space, but when they learned that they needed two male actors, two cultural soldiers were also transferred to them.

Everyone is full of enthusiasm, and from the initial stuttering, they can now speak very fluently.

Just as they were resting, someone suddenly said, "Why do I think I saw someone watching us from outside?"

"Have it?"

Everyone gathered around the window.

The head of the performing arts troupe said that their performance had to be kept secret, so they specially allocated a rehearsal space for them. The content must not be leaked in advance!

However, by the time everyone came over to look, the person had already gone far away, and they could only see his back.

Watching the departing figure, Zhao Xuemei stroked her chin and pondered, "Why do I feel like that person looks a bit like Tang Qiuqiao?"

Some people think it looks similar, but they're not sure.

"No way? This is the military camp. She didn't have permission. How did she get in?"

"Maybe I'm seeing things!" Zhao Xuemei didn't insist. "There are many cultural performers here, maybe it's just that their backs look similar."

This was just a minor incident during rehearsals, and everyone thought the matter was over.

Two days later, Zhao Xuemei told Anning that Tang Qiuqiao and a female soldier in the army had teamed up to sign up for a stage play.
