Chapter 107 - 105 Green Flower of the Army Tian Tian
After the deputy secretary finished his speech, a wave of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Then, the highlight of today’s event arrived.
The village chief stepped onto the podium, surrounded by nearly a hundred villagers. He didn’t rely on a microphone but instead on his booming voice. He said, "Just now, our deputy secretary gave us a brief speech. If anyone has opinions or ideas about the village’s development, you can bring them up with the deputy secretary later. As for us, we don’t have much to entertain the deputy secretary, but everyone can sing some songs to show our enthusiasm. Whoever wants to sing, just come up to the stage on your own."
Most of the villagers here knew how to sing, though it wasn’t formal singing but rather traditional mountain songs or folk tunes. At first, everyone felt a bit restrained, as it was their first time singing in front of so many people and someone so important. But seeing that the deputy secretary looked kind and approachable, and the village chief was supportive, one bold fellow stood up and said, "Village chief, I’ll go!"
"Alright!" The crowd applauded.
The villager’s voice was loud and clear, lifting everyone’s spirits. Even the deputy secretary joined in with applause after the song was finished, which made the villagers even happier and more motivated.
After that, several other villagers went up to sing. Among them, there were those who went off-pitch and those whose voices weren’t particularly pleasant, but none of that mattered—they all had fiery passion in their hearts.
The crowd’s mood was lively, except for Chen Ming and Chen Ying, who sat limply on their chairs with their heads drooped down like two wounded puppies.
"Brother, yesterday Dad asked me why I’m not dating Teacher Zhou anymore. Why didn’t you tell Dad the truth? Are you still thinking about Tian Tian?" Chen Ying muttered gloomily.
"Yingzi, what are you thinking? Do you really think your brother is that blind?" Chen Ming felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Chen Ying pouted, "It’s not your eyesight I’m worried about—it’s your heart being blinded by pig fat." Blind eyes can be cured, but a blind heart cannot.
