1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 69 The Show is Coming
"Wedding candy! Sister Xiaoli, when are we going to eat your wedding candy? I found that Brother Kaiyan is quite suitable for you. He is tall and handsome, a cultured person, and it's quite peaceful to get along with him."

Wang Danping's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

"Yes, Comrade Xiao Cheng is pretty good. He doesn't have any great advantages, but at least he brings good luck to his wife! We're going to eat your wedding candy tomorrow. You're already in a relationship, but you don't even give out wedding candy. Xiaoli, don't be so stingy!"

Xiao Caiyun and Zhang Yi looked at each other and nodded, saying that it was indeed the case.

Hearing what her roommates said, Liu Xiaoli blushed and coughed twice, "Let's talk about it later."

She and Cheng Kaiyan have only met for less than ten days now. Although they are in a relationship, how can it happen so quickly?

To be honest, she was not prepared, and Liu Xiaoli always felt like something was missing.

What do you mean there are no major advantages?
Nonsense!

Obviously there are many advantages!

Liu Xiaoli actually knew that her friends didn't quite understand why she chose to date Comrade Xiao Cheng instead of Professor An, who had better conditions.

They all thought that Professor An's personal and family conditions were better than Cheng Kaiyan's...

Oh, maybe only Danping would think that Cheng Kaiyan, who always buys a bunch of snacks for her, is good.

But it won't be long before they understand... Comrade Xiao Cheng is a piece of gold!

The gold I discovered is the gold that only I know! Liu Xiaoli thought to herself.

"How was Xiaoli's singing today? Was it good?"

"It sounds good."

“Can you sing it for us?”

Liu Xiaoli's dark and bright eyes rolled around, "No, we have to wait until the 5th. This is a secret, you will know then!"

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was February 5, 1980, the beginning of spring.

With only eleven days left until the Lunar New Year, the entire city of Jiangcheng has been painted in festive red, with even the Yangtze River Bridge hung with red lanterns.

Early in the morning, Cheng Kaiyan and several editors from the editorial department, including Chen Shanshan, came to the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee on Jiefang Park Road.

Well, the municipal party committee is also here.

This is also the reason why Leader Wang has time to work at Fangcao Magazine.

Because it's really close.

He walked into the auditorium, which was large enough to accommodate thousands of people.

Tonight, artists from major art and cultural units in Jiangcheng will come here to perform, and leaders from the city and province will also visit.

Families of government employees from all large and small units in Jiangcheng also come here to watch the performances, and no mistakes are tolerated.

A group of staff members wearing red armbands were busy decorating the auditorium.

Enamel teapots, leader name tags, and snacks are placed in order on the leaders' seats in the front four rows. At the same time, the distance and direction must be measured with a ruler to ensure they are neat and consistent.

As for the last seven or eight rows, small snacks such as melon seeds and candies were placed every other seat, after all, there would be quite a few children at the party.

The stage was covered with a red carpet, and the iron frame above was brightly lit. There were many people standing there, apparently arranging the program of the performance.

Some participating units also rehearse on it to avoid being nervous on the spot.

In short, the whole day today was basically for the participating units to familiarize themselves with the process and rehearse. The leaders might come to inspect and visit. Until six o'clock in the afternoon, all the well-known units in Jiangcheng, big and small, would come to watch the performance.

……

At the same time, backstage in the auditorium, in the lounge of Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater.

The heads of each branch are actively helping the theater's performers with today's time planning, precautions, and arrangements after the performance.

The director of the dance troupe is Ms. Jiang Ling, the director of the national orchestra is Ms. Dai, and the director of the opera troupe is Ms. Wang.

There are three performances of the song and dance theater this time: "The Dying Swan" by the dance troupe, "Qintai Expressing Feelings" by the national orchestra, "Morning Star" by the opera troupe, and the last one is Liu Xiaoli's solo "Xiao Fang".

"Alright comrades, it takes a thousand days to train an army and only a day to deploy it. Today is the day of the art performance. I won't emphasize its importance. Everyone, relax. This is the first hurdle in your dance career. Once you pass this hurdle, it will mean that you will truly adapt to the large stage and you will no longer be newcomers in the theater..."

Teacher Jiang Ling stood in front of the twenty young dancers, most of whom grew up under her care.

This Spring Festival art performance was the first time in their lives that they had been exposed to such a large stage. Nervousness was inevitable, and the more nervous they were, the more they had to overcome it. Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater was well-known throughout Hubei Province and even the whole country. Not to mention participating in such provincial and municipal art performances, it would not be uncommon for them to appear on national stages in the future.

"Got it! Teacher Jiang!"

The girls shouted in unison.

"Well, everyone, get familiar with the environment first. We'll start rehearsing at ten o'clock."

Teacher Jiang Ling nodded with satisfaction and then waved to Liu Xiaoli.

The two sat down side by side.

"Are you nervous, Xiaoli? I looked at the program. Your song "Xiao Fang" is the fourth to last one after "The Death of the Swan", which is almost the finale."

"Thank goodness, teacher. I'm not nervous."

Liu Xiaoli was wearing a white ballet costume and a military coat to keep warm. She smoothed her hair by her ears and spoke softly.

"Well, I know that although you look gentle and quiet, you are actually very confident and confident. Do your best and take more rest after dancing so as not to affect your singing later. Got it?"

Teacher Jiang Ling nodded in satisfaction, and then she asked curiously, "Where is your boyfriend? Is he coming today?"

"He's coming. Please arrange for him to sit next to me."

Liu Xiaoli nodded and pleaded.

"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy."

Teacher Jiang nodded, but felt a little helpless in her heart. It's true that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up.

In fact, in Jiang Ling's eyes, Liu Xiaoli is more than qualified to be a municipal-level cadre.

But now that you have a partner, just be nice to him/her.

These days she has been observing the child named Cheng Kaiyan. He is indeed quite good, with a gentle and peaceful temperament, and he makes people feel comfortable when dealing with people. In fact, he is quite suitable for marriage.

Although my abilities aren’t outstanding… I’m still young, so I can’t ask for too much.

"Don't worry, teacher. Kaiyan is very good."

Liu Xiaoli smiled faintly and thought to herself, you will know later in the evening!
The girls were resting in the lounge, some were visiting side by side, and some were killing time with books.

At this time, a theater staff member ran in and whispered something in Jiang Ling's ear. Jiang Ling's face changed immediately and she said anxiously, "What? The piano player in the orchestra, Lao Wang, was hospitalized after drinking too much? Then what should we do with the ballet today? Should we just use the recorded accompaniment? In this way, the stage effect will be greatly reduced!"
