Deng Hongmei composed herself slightly. "Don't worry, the children are very capable!"

"They thought this would scare the children, but they didn't expect it to make the children even more determined."

"They're all itching to get their hands on something and help you get revenge!"

Li Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, then a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Indeed, children's hearts are the purest and cannot tolerate the scheming and manipulative schemes of some people.

"That's good, I was worried." Li Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Deng Hongmei laughed jokingly, "You should worry about yourself instead of others."

"You're just going to gamble like that? What if you really lose?"

I offended those gossipy military wives as soon as I arrived at the military region. I'll be bullied to death there from now on.

Li Wanqing's eyes darted around, and she smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't lose out whether I win or lose."

Deng Hongmei was completely confused, while Li Wanqing chuckled and said, "I only said that if the children win, she has to apologize to them in front of the entire army."

"I didn't say what would happen if the kids lost?"

Deng Hongmei: ...She really is too kind.

"We were worried you'd get taken advantage of!" Deng Hongmei laughed, a little annoyed.

Little did they know that they had simply lured the other party into the trap while cleanly extricating themselves from the situation.

When Guo Chunxiang came over, she saw the two of them smiling. When she asked, she found out that Li Wanqing had dug a big pit for them.

"Wanqing did a good job!" Guo Chunxiang had long disliked that group of people. "A bunch of people who can't do anything right, but are number one at gossiping. They should have been taught a lesson a long time ago."

Deng Hongmei glared at her. "Alright, it's time to let the children go on stage."

If those people heard this, they'd probably cause a scene again.

Guo Chunxiang then shut up, and the three of them went backstage together.

The children had already lined up, and their eyes lit up when they saw Li Wanqing coming over.

"Aunt Li! Aunt Li!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely work hard!"

"Yes, we will absolutely not let those people look down on us!"

......

Looking at those innocent faces, Li Wanqing felt a warm glow in her heart.

She slightly raised her hand, signaling the children to be quiet.

"Young soldiers, what we need to do now is to show everyone the results of our hard work in training."

"Let's tell those who look down on us that although we are young, our ambitions are great!"

Upon hearing these words, a bright light shone in every child's eyes, as dazzling as the stars!

At this moment, the members of the cultural troupe came over and led the children to the stage to wait for their turn.

The children were all full of fighting spirit, just like soldiers going into battle.

Li Wanqing, along with Nuonuo and Cheng Baichuan, walked to the edge of the stage.

This angle allows you to clearly see each child!

“You… seem to have a lot of potential to be a teacher!” Cheng Baichuan said in a low voice.

From leading the children in practice and teaching Nuonuo to recognize characters, to now being able to fully engage the children's emotions in just a few words.

Li Wanqing's gaze remained fixed on the stage. She heard Cheng Baichuan's words, but she didn't care.

"Maybe I was a teacher in my past life?" Li Wanqing said, half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Cheng Baichuan paused, his gaze towards Li Wanqing filled with inquiry.

He wasn't familiar with Li Wanqing before, but he remembered that she had explicitly said she wasn't suited for teaching.

He was already quite surprised when she agreed to perform with three different groups.

I originally thought she only agreed because of Deng's wife's face.

But now, he felt that perhaps Li Wanqing was born to get along with these children.

While a person's personality can change, some deeply ingrained attitudes shouldn't change so drastically!

On stage, Du Minghua had already begun tuning the piano.

Seeing that Cheng Baichuan was still in a daze, Li Wanqing quickly nudged his shoulder.

"Stop daydreaming! The children will start singing soon!"

Cheng Baichuan's thoughts were interrupted, and he quickly returned his attention to the stage.

He is also really looking forward to this performance!

As for Li Wanqing...

Regardless of what she was like before, she now seems more vibrant and attractive to him.

Under the guidance of the staff, the children stood in their respective positions in order.

The audience below the stage were instantly drawn to the children dressed in neat, uniform outfits.

"Whose performance is this? Why is it just a bunch of kids?"

"That's right! What can a bunch of kids get up to?"

"It seems to be the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division?"

.....

"Could it be that they've given up on themselves and are just throwing their child out to embarrass themselves?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Everyone knows that the people in the First Division are very protective of their own, especially the Third Regiment."

......

"But I must say, when they put on these little military uniforms, they all look so much more energetic."

"You're right, isn't that the eldest son of the Shao family? I wouldn't recognize him dressed like that."

"Yeah, are they wearing makeup? There's even a shimmering effect around their eyes."

"Upon closer inspection, it really is true; these are much better looking than those monkey butts from before."

......

Hearing the discussion around her, Liu Ximei's face turned ugly, and she tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her.

"Xiumei! These kids can't really win, can they?"

If she loses this bet, she'll lose face in the military, and her husband Jiang will skin her alive!

"How could that be! Don't worry about it!" Wang Xiumei said, but she wasn't sure herself.

She never expected that a bunch of kids would look so respectable in their military uniforms!

Even more unexpectedly, Li Wanqing's makeup was not weak at all under the stage lights.

Thinking about her previous sarcastic remarks, she felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

Li Wanqing definitely did this on purpose; she just wanted to see her make a fool of herself!

Liu Ximei breathed a slight sigh of relief and smiled to herself, "That's right! It must be that Li Wanqing bluffing!"

"They think they can win everyone's favor just by dressing neatly, how shameless!"

“Exactly!” Wang Xiumei curled her lip, looking disgusted. “What could she, a sent-down youth who spent time in the countryside, possibly know?”

"Lacking ability, you try to take shortcuts by using tricks!"

Do you really think we're all blind?!

She refused to believe that her man couldn't compare to Cheng Baichuan, and that she couldn't compare to Li Wanqing either.

But when the music started and the children's voices rang out... she knew she was doomed!

The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the nation.

When the youth are wealthy, the nation is wealthy.

A strong youth makes a strong nation.

When the youth are free, the nation is free.

...]

The children's clear and energetic recitation instantly struck everyone's hearts.

In just a few lines, the song perfectly captures the sense of responsibility and mission that a young person is born with.

Every sound was deeply moving!

Those who had fought and bled for the country were especially moved.
