Chapter 355 356 [Send comrades, embark on a journey]

  In the next week, Xiang Nan and the political commissar were busy handling the transfer procedures for the soldiers.

   At the same time, they are still closely observing the movements of the fighters to ensure that they accept the fact that the art troupe has been disbanded and stop making trouble.

   And at this time, you can see the advantages of the children of high-ranking cadres.

  Children of cadres like Zhu Han, Feng Xi, Zheng Feng, etc., upon hearing that the art troupe was about to disband, they immediately asked their families to find a way out. There is no need to go through the procedures for changing jobs, and go through the procedures for secondment directly.

  As for soldiers from ordinary families, if they want to get a job again, they have to take a job change certificate, go back to their original place to find the relevant department, and wait for them to arrange a job.

   I don't know how long I'll have to wait. After all, in these years, a large number of educated youths have returned to the city, and they urgently need resettlement. But jobs are limited, so even if they are numbered, they have to wait for a long time to get their turn.

  The soldiers from the countryside were even worse. They finally enlisted in the army with honor, and originally wanted to stay in the army well. But they didn't want the art troupe to be disbanded suddenly, so they had to go back to their hometown in desperation.

  After going back, I don’t know how to face my fellow villagers, let alone how to deal with my future life. After all, the life of the art troupe is really great. They eat, drink, play and have fun, but when they go back to their hometown, they just face the loess and their backs to the sky.

   Even worse, there are couples who secretly get together. They were planning to make meritorious service in the art troupe, but when the time comes, they will be in love, get married and have children...

  But now the art troupe is suddenly disbanded, and they are all forced to change jobs and return to their hometowns. As a result, they have to break up. That scene was even worse than breaking up after graduation.

   For several days in a row, someone could be heard crying in the dormitory.

  …

   While some cry, others laugh. Xiao Suizi was the one with the happiest smile.

  After taking the college entrance examination, she was successfully admitted to Yanjing Normal University.

  Looking at the red admission notice, the people who were still laughing at her for memorizing English and studying stupidly all shut their mouths.

  Hao Shuwen was also smiling happily.

  While she was going through the procedures for changing jobs, she sent the wedding invitations to Xiang Nan, the political commissar, and her comrades who had a good relationship with her and were also the sons of high-ranking officials.

   "Liu Feng, political commissar, you will definitely be there." She said with a candid smile.

   "Married just after changing jobs?" The political commissar looked at the date on the wedding invitation, and was slightly taken aback.

  Hao Shuwen was about to hold a wedding on the second day of her job change. She was transferred directly from the military camp to the bridal chamber. The seamless connection was really fast enough.

   "He and I are the children of high-ranking cadres, we can be regarded as a good match, and the age is just right, so why delay." Hao Shuwen said with a smile.

  Xiang Nan nodded, this is her style. Do what you want, do not twitch, do not pretend, be bold and direct, and go forward without hesitation.

   "Okay, I'll try my best to arrange the time." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

  …

   A week later, the art troupe held a farewell party to send off all the soldiers.

   "Everyone, please raise your glass!" Xiang Nan held up the tea mug, which was filled with wine, "I wish you all a bright future and a safe journey!"

   "The future is bright, safe journey!" Everyone shouted, it is not only a wish to their comrades, but also a wish to themselves.

  Then, the political commissar started and sang the song "Camel Bell", "Send off comrades-in-arms, embark on a journey, and cry silently. Camel bells sounded in my ears..."

  Everyone hummed along, and then the singing resounded throughout the hall.

   "Why disband, why disband..."

   "Political commissar, head, I really don't want to leave here!"

   "He Cuicui, I actually like you very much!"

   "Chen Bingxi, I hope you don't forget me!"

  Everyone was drunk and worried, drunk and cowardly, and took the opportunity to say what they wanted to say before but never dared to say.

  Anyway, after the farewell party, they will go on their own journeys. From now on, they may never see each other again. If you don't say a lot of things today, you may not have a chance to say them. So there is no need to be shy, no embarrassment.

   The hall was extremely lively for a while.

  Toasting, embracing, crying, heartfelt greetings...the list goes on and on.

  The farewell party lasted until late at night, and almost everyone drank too much, and the hall was full of drunks.

  Xiang Nan remained awake. He had known this day would come, and he was not nostalgic for the art troupe.

  In the movie, it was the group of people who were crying bitterly who collectively bullied and hurt Liu Feng and He Xiaoping. So the friendship and reluctance they show now is a bit hypocritical and hypocritical no matter how you look at it.

  So after the farewell party, Xiang Nan went back to the dormitory by himself.

   All the soft goods in the dormitory have been packed, and all the antiques have also been boxed. The box was built by Xiang Nan himself, he has a good carpentry skill. These boxes will be shipped to Yanjing in turn.

  Xiang Nan has accepted the secondment of the Zongzheng Song and Dance Troupe and will be leaving in a few days.

  …

   Turning the other day, Xiang Nan and the political commissar sent the first batch of soldiers away, and then the two went to Rongyuan to attend Hao Shuwen's wedding.

  Hao Shuwen's husband is the son of the ordnance factory director.

  The director of the ordnance factory has a high position and great power, and once the guns are fired, you can know how big the ordnance is.

  The combination of Hao Shuwen and him is a strong alliance, and there will be many good days in the future.

  Xiang Nan's feelings for Hao Shuwen are a bit complicated.

  On the one hand, in the movie, she led everyone to bully Xiaoping, and she also pried Xiao Suizi's boyfriend, which made his first impression of her not good.

   On the one hand, in the process of getting along with each other in the past few years, he found that Hao Shuwen is not a pure bad person. She also has good things, such as straightforwardness, frankness, and enthusiasm. It is not a bad thing to be friends with her.

   What's more, Hao Shuwen once pursued him crazily. A man can't be cruel to a woman who treats him well. That's why he was willing to show his face and attended Hao Shuwen's wedding with the political commissar.

  After arriving, I saw the wedding, and it was really grand. The house is full of distinguished guests, and there are many victorious friends. Xiang Nan and political commissars at the regimental level are not considered high officials.

  Even if they weren't Hao Shuwen's old superiors, they wouldn't even be qualified to attend the wedding today.

   Fortunately, Xiang Nan is not a big official, but his reputation is not small. A well-known writer in the whole country has a famous brand wherever he goes. Therefore, he was still dragged to the main table to sit down.

   "Head Liu, I would like to toast you, thank you for taking care of Xiao Hao." Hao Shuwen's husband, Zhao Dongfeng smiled and toasted Xiang Nan.

   "Mr. Zhao, I also wish you and Hao Shuwen will be united forever, grow old together, know each other, and stay together forever." Xiang Nan smiled, and then drank the wine in his glass.

   If he remembered correctly, in the original novel, Hao Shuwen's marriage was not happy. After the two of them went into business and made a fortune, her husband hung around outside and finally divorced her.

  Hao Shuwen did not get any wealth from her family, but only got two houses. One set was rented out and the other set was lived in by oneself. They lived a life of pure heart and few desires, eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name.

   Now looking at Hao Shuwen, who was wearing a wedding dress and smiling like a flower, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
