Chapter 166 Celebration Banquet 1
At the celebration banquet, the military wives stopped their work half a day in advance and dressed up at home to prepare for the celebration banquet.
Shen Ye Ning went to the store in the morning and came back at noon. She also wanted to dress up. Women dress up to please themselves.
Take a shower and wash your hair to wash away all your fatigue. Your black hair will be as smooth as silk, exuding a black and shiny luster. The hair on top is fluffy and layered, while the hair on the bottom is slightly curly, exuding a retro yet fashionable atmosphere.
When I first came to the island, I was a pure and innocent girl. After I opened the shop, I adopted a more dry and professional style. Today, I plan to try a different style, the Hong Kong style.
After skin care, she started to put on makeup, taking out bottles and jars, applying makeup, and in half an hour she had created an exquisite look that brought out her perfect and bright facial features.
The V-neck red mid-length skirt reveals the sexy collarbone and swan neck. The waist-hugging design perfectly highlights the slender waist and perfect figure, revealing a thin and white calf, and a pair of white high-heeled sandals on the feet.
She was meticulously sculpted from head to toe. She stood up and turned around in front of the mirror, her skirt flying, very satisfied.
The meeting was about to start in half an hour, and I heard some noise coming from the stairs, which meant everyone was getting ready to go out.
She put on her black handbag and took her keys and went out.
At this time, Lin Chunmei also came out from next door.
She was wearing the newly made cheongsam. Her belly was not yet visible, and her figure was well-proportioned. Her face was not made up, but her complexion was rosy. Her long hair was tied up and fixed with an antique hairpin. She had a dignified temperament, like a quiet and gentle lady.
Shen Ye Ning's eyes lit up and she praised, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful today."
"Clothes make the man, it's all because of your good craftsmanship." Lin Chunmei said with an embarrassed smile.
"Is that hairpin of yours inlaid with kingfisher feathers?" Shen Ye Ning asked curiously, pointing at the hairpin in her hair.
Lin Chunmei felt that she looked even better today, full of charm and beauty, and her every move was calm and confident.
"Well, my mother-in-law said it was an antique left by the older generation. You look better dressed today. I really don't envy you young people."
"Dressing up has nothing to do with age. You can dress up however you want. Isn't that right, Aunt Li?"
Mother Li packed up her things and came out, agreeing, "That's right, and my daughter-in-law is very young, no different from a girl in her twenties or thirties."
"I will also make a cheongsam for Aunt Li when I have time next time."
Mother Li quickly waved her hands and said, "Oh, I'm already old."
The other two said in unison: "Dressing has no age limit."
Mother Li, you were a young girl before, and you see that young people all have their own charm.
When she was young, she was strictly controlled about what to wear, but now she can wear whatever she wants.
"Okay, let's do it. I'll also wear a cheongsam to the next celebration party."
"Hahaha!"
The three of them walked down together.
The military wives were all wearing beautiful newly-made dresses, and they lined up in a group as they walked downstairs.
They met Zhang Xiaomei, Ye Xiaojun and others who were waiting for them downstairs.
Everyone was amazed by Shen Ye Ning's outfit today.
"Sister Ye Ning looks so beautiful today. Her dress is pretty and her makeup is gorgeous. She looks like a big star. At first glance, I thought she was a fairy from heaven."
Shen Ye Ning smiled and said, "The sisters-in-law are dressed up beautifully today."
Ye Xiaojun said, "You are not as pretty as me. You are beautiful and skillful. If I were a man, I would take you home as my wife. There would be no chance for Captain Lu to get married."
"If that were the case, Captain Lu and Captain Zhao would be heartbroken."
At this time, Huang Cuihua and a few others also came down from the stairs.
I saw Shen Ye Ning was also wearing a red dress, which was quite pretty, although not as good as mine.
She did it on purpose, wearing the same color as herself and putting on careful makeup with fiery red lips, trying to outshine herself. She is so scheming.
She walked to the stairs and deliberately bumped her shoulder against Ye Xiaojun who happened to be standing next to the stairs.
Ye Xiaojun was furious and cursed, "Huang Cuihua, are you blind? Didn't you see someone standing here or did you do it on purpose?"
"Who told you to stand here and block the road?"
"Apologise."
"No, you were blocking the road on purpose, you deserved to be hit."
Ye Xiaojun felt that it was useless to reason with such a person, so she took two steps forward and bumped into her, "Bang!"
"Ah!" Huang Cuihua was wearing high heels and was knocked off her feet. She fell backwards and luckily someone behind her supported her so she didn't sprain her ankle.
As soon as she stood firm, she roared, "Ye Xiaojun, your man is just a company commander, how dare you bump into me? Be careful or I will make you pay for it."
Shen Ye Ning asked back, "Oh, you think you are so great just because you are the captain's wife. Do you think you can just bully others? I will see the captain at the celebration banquet later. We can go and ask him together."
Democracy, equality, fairness and justice are advocated in the army. Even if you are a leader, you cannot abuse your power to oppress others.
No matter how bad Huang Cuihua behaved, she knew the rules. "You all, wait for me to copy. You will be embarrassed later. Let's go."
Having said that, he left with Chen Hongling and others.
A group of people came to the conference hall. The banquet had not started yet, but most people had arrived early and were able to move around freely and chat in low voices.
The art troupe also came backstage early to prepare.
Tonight's program includes classic songs and dances, dramas, operas and sketches.
Lin Shu was not like other comrades in the art troupe, busy rehearsing the order of performance and other things backstage, but ran to the front to chat with someone.
As Shen Ye Ning and the group stepped into the hall, her tall figure and gorgeous dress instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh my god, look over there, is that someone's celebrity relative? She's so good-looking."
"She looks so young, she doesn't look like a military wife. Could she be the daughter of some commander?"
"She's really as pretty as a movie star. Hey, do you think I have a chance if I try hard?"
"What are you dreaming about? That seems to be our regiment commander's wife." said a comrade from the Third Regiment who had met Shen Ye Ning.
"Our leader? My sister-in-law looks so young, she is only 20 years old at most, but the leader is already 30 years old, it's too late to eat young grass."
"No wonder the team leader has been training on time recently and is not as harsh as before. It turns out that he has married a beautiful wife and has become gentler. I guess he doesn't dare to speak loudly at home for fear of scaring his beautiful wife, haha."
"If I marry such a beautiful wife, I will pick the moon in the sky for her."
"I didn't see that you are quite capable. It's time to find a wife."
"You think you don't want to find one? Introduce one to me."
He Wenbin from the Third Regiment kept his eyes on her and didn't even look at Chen Hongling.
Chen Hongling was so angry that she was shaking all over. She was wearing a pure white dress today, looking pure and lovely, like a jasmine bud about to bloom. She was dressed so beautifully, but the man didn't even look at her.
It was all Shen Ye Ning's fault for dressing up so coquettishly and flamboyantly, and stealing the spotlight in her red dress, which made her look like a weed that no one paid attention to.
My chest was filled with jealousy, my teeth were grinding fiercely against my back teeth, and I cursed her in my heart, "Bitch! Bitch!"
Lu Zhengxiao was in charge of directing people to their seats. When he saw his wife, he trotted over and said, "Wife, you look very beautiful today."
It is so beautiful that one would want to hide it, not let others see it, and only he can see it.
"As long as you like it."
The wives of the soldiers around covered their mouths and giggled when they heard this. Captain Lu usually looked cold, but unexpectedly he was quite capable. Unlike the one in their family, when you dressed her up carefully and asked her if she looked good, she would just perfunctorily say it was okay or pretty good.
Military wives are all looking for their men.
Ye Xiaojun searched the crowd and finally saw Zhao Yongcheng. He was talking to someone, and that person's back looked like a woman.
It was Lin Shu who pissed her off.
I was so angry that my chest was blocked. I didn't go over to say hello. I just found my seat and sat down.
The celebration banquet officially began.
First, the two hosts came on stage to speak. After their opening remarks, it was Teacher Zheng's turn to give a speech:
"Today, we are gathered here to celebrate the brilliant achievements made by our troops in this military exercise. First of all, on behalf of the Party Committee of the troops, I would like to express my warmest congratulations and highest respect to all the comrades participating in the training!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the hall.
He went on to say: "In the military exercise that just ended, we faced a complex and ever-changing battlefield environment. All officers and soldiers, with a high sense of responsibility and mission, carried forward the revolutionary spirit of "not fearing hardship and not fearing death", and demonstrated excellent military qualities and tenacious fighting will.
Comrades, in peacetime, military exercises are an important way for us to improve our combat effectiveness. However, some regiments performed outstandingly in this exercise, while others were disappointing. I hope you will make progress next time..."
Everyone knew that the leader was criticizing the Second Regiment.
The people in the second regiment were like eggplants hit by frost, their faces were pale and extremely ugly.
