Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 149 Performance
In the evening, Lu Cheng led several soldiers to carry the piano to the second floor of the classroom.

Many family members and children gathered around to watch the spectacle.

For people of this era, a piano was an extremely rare item.

"I heard this thing is very expensive, costing several thousand yuan per unit."

"This thing isn't made of gold, so why is it so expensive?"

A clear and pleasant voice answered the family members' questions: "Each piano is handmade by an individual craftsman. The process is complex and the materials are of the highest quality. It takes anywhere from six months to several years to complete, so the price is very high."

Looking towards the sound, who else could it be but Shen Yanzhi?

His handsome and refined appearance, along with his gentle and scholarly demeanor, left the group of female relatives completely mesmerized.

My goodness, how did he grow up to be so handsome!

Taking the opportunity, Feng Meihua introduced Shen Yanzhi to the family members.

Upon learning that Shen Yanzhi was a new teacher, the family members were all beaming with joy.

With such a handsome male teacher, they all want to come to school to study.

"Hey, Ms. Shen, can you play the piano?"

When Feng Meihua asked, Shen Yanzhi was about to speak when Jiang Moli raised her hand: "I can play, I'll show you a few moves in a bit!"

Everyone was skeptical.

Lu Tingting glared at her, clearly unhappy that she had stolen Shen Yanzhi's thunder.

Soon, the piano was placed in its position.

Upon learning that Jiang Moli wanted to play the piano, Lu Cheng quickly moved a stool to the piano and thoughtfully opened the piano lid for Jiang Moli.

Amidst countless expectant gazes, Jiang Moli placed her hands on the black and white piano keys.

Ding ding dong ding dong...

"Ugh, what kind of crap is this? It doesn't sound good at all."

Lu Cheng glared at the person and said, "If you don't like it, you can cover your ears."

Lu Tingting angrily yelled at Jiang Moli, "If you can't play, then move aside and let someone who can play play. Don't hogging the spot."

Jiang Moli stopped playing the piano, turned to the family members who were full of disgust and smiled, "This is what you call playing the lute to a cow. You've all failed miserably, haven't you?"

Hey, are you treating them like cows?

That's really annoying.

"Disdain value +5, 50000 yuan credited."

Outside the crowd, Jiang Qing coldly watched Jiang Moli, who was grinning, her eyes full of mockery.

A leopard can't change its spots; he always seems to be courting disaster wherever he goes.

Lu Cheng was also a fool, yet he continued to indulge him.

Upon hearing that the "dislike value" had been credited to her account, Jiang Moli patted the piano with a look of disdain. "Just kidding, everyone. It's normal that I can't play this kind of foreign stuff."

Feng Meihua shuddered.

She had originally thought that since Shen Yanzhi was new to the area, she wanted to give him a chance to impress his family and leave a good impression on them.

Only after Jiang Moli said that did she realize that she had been reckless.

Shen Yanzhi's background is already sensitive. If he really plays this zither and is reported by someone with ulterior motives, he will probably not fare well.

Thinking this, she also tried to smooth things over for Jiang Moli, saying, "Teacher Jiang is right. We should just watch this capitalist stuff and be done with it. It's getting late, everyone should go home. We teachers will have a little meeting."

After hearing Feng Meihua's words, the family members dispersed.

Lu Cheng also led the soldiers back to the camp.

Soon only a few teachers, including Feng Meihua and Jiang Moli, remained in the classroom.

Feng Meihua said in her speech: "The preliminary preparations for the school have been completed, and the school will officially start next Monday. As you all know, I am only acting as the principal. Today, we will officially select the principal. All the teachers present are welcome to run for the position."

Excluding Jiang Moli, who is just a minor character, the new school currently has a total of five teachers.

Feng Meihua, Lu Tingting, Jiang Qing, Shen Yanzhi and Hu Xingbang.

Hu Xingbang was a sent-down youth who came to Menghai. He has settled down and started a family there, living in a village about ten miles away from the army base.

Of the five teachers, only Jiang Qing has the ambition to run for principal.

Unfortunately, she was a substitute teacher, not qualified enough, and could not compete with Feng Meihua.

Feng Meihua was unanimously elected as the principal.

She was clearly delighted, her face glowing with excitement.

The principal of a military academy wields considerable power, especially since she herself is a woman. To achieve such a position in one's life is truly an honor for her family.

After delivering a passionate inaugural address, Feng Meihua adjourned the meeting.

"Principal Feng, I have something to say."

Feng Meihua looked at Jiang Moli, who had raised her hand, with a very kind gaze, and said, "Teacher Jiang, please speak."

"Ms. Lu and I have prepared some programs that we would like to perform at the school as part of the opening ceremony. Families and children are welcome to watch for free."

……

By the time I came out of the classroom, the sun had already sunk below the horizon.

The sky was gradually filled with fiery sunset clouds, a beautiful and breathtaking sight.

On the playground, Lu Cheng's tall and upright figure was bathed in a golden glow from the sunset.

Jiang Moli walked briskly towards him. "Let's go back."

Lu Cheng's smiling gaze fell upon her. "What have you been talking about for so long?"

Just as Jiang Moli was about to speak, Shen Yanzhi quickly caught up.

"Thank you for today, Teacher Jiang."

He has been learning piano since elementary school and enjoys playing it.

If Jiang Moli hadn't interrupted, he probably would have agreed to play in front of everyone.

Jiang Moli smiled at him, "Teacher Shen, I helped you, so you should do me a favor, and then we'll be even."

Shen Yanzhi was slightly taken aback, then replied, "What kind of help do you need? Just tell me."

"We're missing a host for tomorrow's performance. Your voice is lovely and your pronunciation is perfect, you're just the right person for the role."

Shen Yanzhi readily agreed.

After leaving the school, Shen Yanzhi headed towards the family quarters.

Like Lu Tingting, he temporarily ate at Feng Meihua's house.

Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng continued back to the guesthouse.

Compared to his usual cheerful and talkative nature, the man was unusually silent today, and his face looked grumpy.

Jiang Moli nudged his arm. "Hey, what's bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up."

Lu Cheng glanced at her and said, "Her voice is nice, why don't you go listen to her? My voice isn't nice."

Tsk, are you jealous?
Jiang Moli chuckled and patted his shoulder: "You don't need to feel inferior. Even though your voice isn't as nice as his, you're good in bed."

Lu Cheng: “…”

The corners of her mouth were already turning up, and her tone remained firm, "Do you think I have no other advantages besides this?"

"Just this alone is enough to take on ten men, okay? You should at least leave some room for the other men to survive. Let's keep a low profile."

Lu Cheng was completely appeased, and his tone became cheerful as he asked about tomorrow's performance.

Jiang Moli said, "Don't worry, I also need your help with something."

Lu Cheng was overjoyed, practically wagging his tail. "Tell me, I'll definitely do it."

……

The next day, after morning exercises, Lu Cheng directed the soldiers to set up a stage on the playground of the new school.

Jiang Moli, unusually, didn't sleep in and called Lu Tingting to go to the Zhong family's house to rehearse the show.

The performance will begin at 6:40 p.m.

Just after 6 o'clock, family members began bringing small stools to the school playground to reserve spots.

Entertainment was extremely scarce in those days, and being able to watch a free performance was a rare treat.

Especially since I heard that the host was a new male teacher, handsome and dashing.

Many family members came specifically to see the handsome man.

Around 6:30, the entire playground was filled with family members and children.

The women chatted and laughed, and the children played and screamed, making a racket like a vegetable market.

The sound of orderly footsteps came from behind, and everyone turned around.

Lu Cheng led the entire battalion of soldiers to support his wife's performance.
