I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 58: I'm determined to take it.

It turns out this is Political Commissar Wang's daughter.

Wang Ting performed the dance she had prepared, and after she finished, many people felt it was difficult.

"Could it be made even simpler?"

"It's too difficult, I can't kick it up high enough."

Wang Ting frowned. "What kind of dancing is it if you just dabble a few steps? If you want to bring glory to the families of military personnel on stage, then you need to have the determination to overcome difficulties! You haven't even started learning, and you're already complaining about how difficult it is. Is this your attitude towards learning dance? If so, you should find someone else!"

Yuan Juan jumped in, "I don't think it's difficult, I can learn it!"

As soon as she said this, the military dependents who had been complaining about how difficult dancing was all looked at her.

It's remarkable how she is!

That's exactly the attitude Wu Yufen wanted: "Look at Yuan Juan, you should learn from her."

Wang Ting also looked at Yuan Juan and nodded, "You're the only one who looks decent."

Military dependents: "..."

The way they looked at Yuan Juan changed.

Someone said sarcastically, "Yeah, she's so capable, why don't we just let her do a solo dance?"

"That's right, Yuan Xiu will sing a solo and Yuan Juan will dance a solo. Let the two sisters take over the stage this year, and we'll be happy to relax."

Yuan Juan hurriedly waved her hand, "I didn't mean that..."

After explaining, she bit her lip, looking aggrieved.

Wang Ting stepped forward, "Comrade Yuan Juan, don't apologize for this. You didn't do anything wrong, there's no need to apologize!"

Yuan Juan looked at her gratefully.

"Is Yuan Xiu your sister? Is her performance a solo? She seems to be very talented. Where is she?"

When Yuan Juan heard Wang Ting say that Yuan Xiu was excellent, her face almost changed. Why is Yuan Xiu everywhere?

Wu Yufen then realized that Yuan Xiu had left sometime earlier.

Yuan Xiu had been gone for a while; it was clear that she wasn't involved in tonight's rehearsal. She left after watching Wang Ting dance.

She doesn't plan to go to the rehearsal room every day; she'll just go occasionally. She can sing the lyrics and melody of "Coral Song" accurately even when she's multitasking, so there's no need to waste time going to the rehearsal room.

As for the collaboration with the band, it seems they'll have to wait until later in the production process to find time to rehearse with them.

And the number of times will definitely not be many, since the performances by the cultural troupe are the main focus of the show.

……

"Yuan Xiu!"

Hearing the sound, Yuan Xiu did not turn around. She carried her vegetable basket and walked forward. She was lucky today and bought a piece of lard, which could be rendered into a lot of pork fat.

Tonight I'll just steam sweet potato rice, mix it with lard, chop some pickled vegetables, and stir-fry some greens with pork cracklings!

Unfortunately, I've used up all my meat coupons for this month. If I want to eat meat, I'll have to wait until next month's coupons come through.

"Yuan Xiu!"

Yuan Juan directly spread her arms to block her way.

"Good dogs don't get sidelined!"

"You're insulting me again?"

"Why don't you just stop being a dog blocking the way? You asked for trouble, who can you blame?" Yuan Xiu pushed her aside and continued walking forward.

Yuan Juan was furious. Walking beside her, she said, "Do you think I wanted to find you? You said yourself that if I don't provoke you, you won't provoke me. Why did you jump in to cause trouble for me during the meeting?"

Yuan Xiu glanced at her sideways. "I responded to the Parents' Committee's call and actively participated in the programs organized by the committee. Is there a problem with that?"

She gave Yuan Juan a mocking look. "You're quite confident. Just because you sing a song everyone knows, you think the show is yours? How ridiculous!"

"If you don't step forward, then this is my show!"

If she can sing solo on the New Year's Day program, she'll be the star of the show!

Her man, and that old hag, will definitely fawn over her and praise her!

And those leaders who watched the show will all remember Yuan Juan!

Her previous impersonation incident must be put behind us!

"Oh, really?"

Yuan Xiu stopped and looked at her expressionlessly. "It's a pity it's mine now. If someone else sang this song, that's fine, but you're going to?"

She shook her head. "No, I have to take it by force."

"You still say you didn't do it on purpose!" Yuan Juan pointed at her. "You just can't stand to see me doing well!"

Yuan Xiu nodded: "That's right."

Yuan Juan stomped her foot in anger. "You're someone who trembles just standing on the podium reading from a textbook, and you want to sing on stage? You probably can't even remember the lyrics! We'll see! I'm waiting for you to make a fool of yourself on stage!"

After saying that, she snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"It's kind of you to still remember things from your school days. You shouldn't have forgotten who taught you that song, right?"

Yuan Juan stopped and turned around, only to see Yuan Xiu's back, which was not turning around either.

……

As soon as Jiang Zhou entered, he smelled a strong aroma of oil!

These days, everyone eats very little oily food. Even cadres only receive a small amount of meat coupons per month. If they want to eat meat, they have to find a way.

So everyone craves meat and oil.

Upon smelling this aroma, Jiang Zhou subconsciously swallowed.

"Did you manage to buy lard?"

Jiang Zhou stood at the kitchen doorway, his eyes fixed on the golden-brown fried pork cracklings floating in the pot.

Yuan Xiu looked up at him, smiled, and scooped the oil residue out of the pot. She didn't rush to put the oil into the oil jar. Instead, she took out the sugar jar from the cupboard, picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of oil residue, dipped it in the sugar in the jar, and held it to Jiang Zhou's lips.

"Hey."

Jiang Zhou opened his mouth to catch the fried pork cracklings, chewed them, and exclaimed, "Delicious!"

Yuan Xiu put another piece on his plate.

Jiang Zhou grabbed her hand and twirled the chopsticks around, saying, "Try a piece too."

Yuan Xiu smiled and opened her mouth to eat it.

"How about we have rice with lard for dinner?" Yuan Xiu asked him.

Jiang Zhou naturally agreed; he thought everything she made was delicious.

Because I've been eating too well lately, someone actually dared to say I've gained weight today?

"Do you think I've gained weight?"

He put his hands on his hips and spun around in front of Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu looked her over. "No, who said you've gained weight?"

She had never seen a man with such a strong and well-built physique and muscles.

"No, I just feel like I've been eating too well lately."

"What's wrong with it? It's just made from the same rice, flour, and whole grains. No matter how fancy you make it, it's still the same stuff."

Jiang Zhou nodded, agreeing with that. "How is it bad? It's good if it tastes good. I eat well every day and sleep soundly..."

No wonder some people say he's fat.

It seems it has eyes now.

Upon hearing the word "satisfied," Yuan Xiu blushed. He always said such nonsense in bed.

It caused her to have impure thoughts whenever she heard those two words.

"Go to the field and pick a bunch of bok choy." Yuan Xiu handed him the vegetable basket.

Jiang Zhou clapped his hands, took the vegetable basket, and went out.

Fearing he wouldn't know how, Yuan Xiu reminded him, "Don't pull the whole plant out; just pick the leaves from the ones that are growing well..."
