Standing in the corner of the stage, Li Wanqing looked at everyone's enthusiastic reaction and finally a relieved smile appeared on her lips.

Before officially going on stage, no matter how confident she was, she still had some worries in her heart.

But now, she can put her worries to rest.

The kids' performance this time is solid!

After the children recited their poems, it was Qin Qianqian's turn to sing along with another member of the performing arts troupe.

Unlike the children's powerful recitation, the two singers sang like a storyteller, recounting history in a gentle and detailed manner.

The gentle, lingering melody slowly soothed the shock that had just been stirred by the children.

Li Wanqing's lips curled into a smile; an even more shocking part was about to begin.

As the chorus began, when the children sang in unison, "Youth has its own youthful exuberance," even the soldiers who had been sitting upright couldn't help but stand up.

Thunderous applause resounded throughout the entire auditorium.

The military leaders sitting in the front row, though not as excited as the soldiers behind them, had tears of emotion in their eyes.

No one understands it as deeply as those who have experienced the battlefield!

These people have already ushered in a new beginning for the country, while the children on stage are the hope for a strong future for the nation.

Some people in the family quarters were also moved, but most of them were not as deeply touched as the soldiers.

Liu Ximei couldn't understand it at all. In her opinion, apart from being a little catchy, the song was mediocre.

Nothing is as stunning as Wang Xiumei's singing and dancing!

"These soldiers, have they gone mad from being soldiers?" Liu Ximei nudged Wang Xiumei and muttered softly.

Before Wang Xiumei could recover from the shock, she rolled her eyes at Liu Ximei when she heard her words.

"So what if he's in the military? Your husband is in the military too."

Liu Ximei's face stiffened; she had forgotten that Wang Xiumei had also served in the military.

"Don't be angry, that's not what I meant. I just think Li Wanqing is a bit shameless."

Wang Xiumei looked very unwell. She had been a member of the performing arts troupe and knew the quality of the program, but she just refused to admit it.

The thought of being overshadowed by a rural educated youth made him furious.

"Shut up if you can't speak!"

"After all this talk, have you thought about what to do? Do you really want to apologize to a bunch of kids in front of the entire military region?"

Liu Ximei's face darkened further. "Xiumei, what do you mean? You also think Li Wanqing is bound to win?"

Wang Xiumei opened her mouth, but not wanting to admit it, she simply turned and left.

She didn't want to stay here and embarrass herself!

Liu Ximei was completely bewildered. What did this mean?

At this moment, the entire auditorium was filled with excitement.

Especially the family members of the children on stage felt a sense of pride and honor.

"I never expected that this mischievous boy, who is usually so naughty, would be so capable when it comes to doing serious things." Guo Chunxiang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Deng Hongmei was also excited, but she had watched the children practice step by step, so she was much calmer than Guo Chunxiang.

"The children have done a great job this time, and we should reward them properly when we get back."

Guo Chunxiang nodded, "That's right, there's plenty of braised pork this time!"

"And Wanqing too! If it weren't for her, our Third Regiment wouldn't have been so successful this time!" Deng Hongmei looked around, puzzled. "Where's Wanqing?"

Li Wanqing, who was being talked about, was now taking a walk with her daughter on the military area's parade ground.

"Why are you following me out instead of watching the show inside?" Li Wanqing asked, looking at Cheng Baichuan who was following her at a leisurely pace.

She just wanted to calm down, but she didn't expect to have a little tail following her!

“You’re not familiar with the military region, so I came along to take a look.” Cheng Baichuan said calmly, showing no sign that he had come along out of concern.

Li Wanqing smiled slightly and raised her daughter's hand to wave at Cheng Baichuan.

"Then I'll trouble Battalion Commander Cheng to give my daughter and me a proper tour!"

Cheng Baichuan tensed up and began to introduce it in a very professional manner.

"That area is where we do our daily physical training, and beyond that is the shooting training area..."

Cheng Baichuan introduced himself meticulously, and Li Wanqing couldn't help but laugh at his serious demeanor.

"Battalion Commander Cheng, aren't you afraid of violating discipline by explaining in such detail?"

Cheng Baichuan said with a serious expression, "The parts that can be made public are not considered classified. As for the rest... I can't say."

Li Wanqing smiled, pursing her lips, and bounced her daughter in her arms.

"Nono, look, this is where Dad used to train."

Nono looked around, but it was all dark and she couldn't find anything special about it!

If I had to say what's special... well, it's that it's exceptionally big!

Nono's little mind couldn't understand why her mother was so happy.

“Nono is too big now, it’s tiring to carry her. Why don’t you put her on my lap and I’ll carry her?” Cheng Baichuan suggested.

Li Wanqing tilted her head and looked at him, "Then I'll push the wheelchair, pushing you and your daughter?"

Cheng Baichuan was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected that.

Before he could explain, Li Wanqing put the child in his arms.

"It does seem a bit easier than holding the baby."

Cheng Baichuan held the child, not daring to move.

When will his injured leg recover?

The family of three wandered around the playground for a while before returning to the auditorium when it was almost time.

By this time, the performance was nearing its end. Deng Hongmei was still in the venue, but the children had all excitedly gone off to play.

"Where have you been?" Deng Hongmei asked with concern.

She thought Li Wanqing would watch the performance until it ended and share her joy with the children.

Unexpectedly, she left just as the performance was about to end.

"I was just a little too excited, so I went out to calm myself down," Li Wanqing said with a smile.

Deng Hongmei was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "I thought you were always so calm, but I didn't expect you to be just as nervous as us."

Li Wanqing scratched her head sheepishly, "If I don't pretend to be calm, won't the children be even more nervous!"

“That’s true!” Deng Hongmei exclaimed. “You have no idea how excited the children were after their performance; they practically turned the backstage area upside down.”

If their parents hadn't come, the group of kids probably wouldn't have calmed down so quickly.

Li Wanqing smiled as she recalled the scene, "The children are indeed wonderful, and it's normal for them to be excited."

When will the selection results be announced?

Li Wanqing felt a secret thrill in her heart; she was looking forward to seeing the disappointed faces of those "medicated oil" fans!

"It should be soon." Deng Hongmei glanced at her sideways. "You didn't just arrive at the last minute, did you?"

"If the results hadn't been announced, you would have already run home, wouldn't you?"

Li Wanqing: ......

We can see through each other but not say anything, and we can still be good friends!
