Seventies Cultural Troupe Young Couple (七零文工团小夫妻 ) chapter 88 http://www.fd80.com/218/218457/ [MTL FOR OFFLINE READING PURPOSE ONLY] 1. Before the New Year's performance in the Zhaocheng Military Region Art Troupe, Qin Yuqiao, a key figure, sprained her ankle. While the outside world was celebrating the lively New Year, she lay alone in the deserted military hospital and turned her head to see a "soldier" with an injured arm staring at her. It was the New Year, and they were both far from home, so she generously shared half of her melon seeds with the injured comrade. She wanted to ask the fellow comrade if she needed a ride back to the army to celebrate the New Year with her comrade Gu Tianzhen, who was holding melon seeds in his hand. 2. Two months later, at the spring performance, Qin Yuqiao led the dance and made a stunning appearance with a ballet version of "Red Detachment of Women." During the curtain call, Qin Yuqiao saw the officer sitting next to the senior officer in the audience, the same comrade with the melon seeds from before, gazing at her intently. It was only then that she realized the person was not a soldier but the battalion commander sent by the military district. 3. Qin Yuqiao was introduced to a blind date by the leaders of the Art Troupe, and she had a good chat with the soldier with a square face sitting across from her. The two of them bought a pound of dried sweet potatoes at the supply and marketing cooperative, but as soon as they left, they ran into his superior, Gu Tianzhen. The soldier was assigned a task and had to leave early. Gu Tianzhen took half of the sweet potatoes she had bought. He said, "What were you two talking about just now? I can chat with you on his behalf." Qin Yuqiao was puzzled. The Art Troupe leader jokingly said that Gu Tianzhen had managed to steal away the Art Troupe's leading lady after only two meetings. Qin Yuqiao corrected him, saying it was three meetings.
