August 21st is an extremely important festival for all young girls because it is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Qiqiao Festival.

Just after breakfast, the whole Jincheng became lively. Young girls could be seen in groups everywhere, and the streets were full of their chattering noises.

Since the founding of the Republic of China, Shanxi people have had the tradition of watching the drama "Tianhe Pei" on the Qiqiao Festival.

Shanxi has been ravaged by the Japanese army in the past two years, so this tradition was interrupted for a while.

After Jiang Dong came to Shanxi, it only took him one year to revitalize the southern part of Shanxi. Although the people's lives were not peaceful and contented, they had jobs to do, houses to live in, food and clothing was no longer a problem, and they were well-off.

The number of homes is also rising steadily.

In addition, Jiangdong only won a big victory on the front line a month ago.

Under the background of various atmospheres, this year's Qiqiao Festival is even grander and more solemn.

The Administrative Office funded a theater troupe and organized the people of the city to watch the theater in Jincheng People's Square... Tianhe Pei.

The performance started at 11 a.m., and almost all the people in the city were present. Female soldiers from various units of the army also found various reasons to ask for leave, and dressed up beautifully to watch the performance.

It had been two years since the common people had watched Tianhe Pei. When they heard the familiar lyrics again, many people got wet in their eyes.

The drama is still the same as before, even better than before, but most of the family and friends watching the drama have been reduced.

Most of the female soldiers in the Jiangdong army came from the rear. Some southern girls watched this kind of play for the first time and were moved to tears.

In such a festive atmosphere, the girls are in love with each other, and the topic gradually shifts from drama to men.

However, the Jiangdong army has strict discipline. The soldiers are either training hard or rushing to the front line. Young girls rarely have the opportunity to meet the person they like. Therefore, on the day of Qiqiao Festival, most girls gather in groups instead of

In pairs.

The atmosphere in the army is tense and depressing, and many people only have such a relaxing day every few months.

Jiang Dong had no interest in festivals and the like, and he didn't pay any attention to it. It wasn't until Wang Liang from the Political Department told him about the scene on the street that he learned that August 21st was actually the Qiqiao Festival.

Jiang Dong leaned back in his chair and chuckled a few times, then waved his hand and generously gave all the female soldiers in the army a day off.

The holiday and welfare system for military personnel is not particularly perfect. Jiang Dong sat in the office on the day of Qiqiao Festival and thought about this problem.

For a festival like the Qiqiao Festival specifically for female soldiers, it stands to reason that the troops should distribute some condolence gifts.

But no one had ever thought about this issue before, and Jiangdong also ignored it.

With the current industrial production capacity of southeastern Shanxi, it is possible to distribute condolence gifts to all female soldiers and even all soldiers.

Don't look at it. A condolence gift may not even be worth an ocean, but it can help soldiers find a sense of belonging and enhance the cohesion of the army. It is a small sign that distinguishes the 39th Army from other national army units. It is proud.

And pride comes from the battlefield, but it also comes from these humble actions.

If the military is fully professionalized, the welfare system must be improved.

Listening to the cheerful noise outside, Jiang Dong smiled and shook his head and continued to write.

…

The Administrative Office invited a drama troupe to perform... Tianhe Pei, and the art troupe under the Political Department also rehearsed a new play for this day,

Wang Huiwen named the new opera: "New Tianhe Opera"!

The plot of the new Tianhe version is roughly the same as that of the old Tianhe version, except that the background of the era is placed in the present, on the anti-Japanese battlefield.

The art troupe was inspired by operas such as The White Haired Girl, and applied the plot of the old Tianhe opera to the new Tianhe opera, describing the performance of young lovers, patriotic couples, etc. in the anti-aggression war.

It depicts loyal love in the context of the homeland and nation, denounces the beastly behavior of the Japanese, praises the outstanding Chinese people's determination to fight to the end, praises heroic couples, and calls on everyone to unite and defend the country.

.

It perfectly combines individual emotions with the overall destiny of the country and the nation. Once it was performed, it made countless people empathize with it. It connected the fear of danger in times of peace with the yearning for beautiful love.

The old and new Tianhe scenes are staged alternately, making the people's emotions reach a climax over and over again.

The female soldiers in the army are still dreaming about love on the battlefield, and at the same time they have a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by their frontline comrades behind the happy holiday. Many young girls secretly swear in their hearts that they are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to protect these beautiful things in front of them.

.

Political work is everywhere and all the time.

The Political Department and the Art Troupe understood Jiangdong's meaning, and the new Tianhepei achieved great success.

…

In the afternoon, Jiangdong compiled the outline of the military holiday system and welfare system and handed it over to the Political Department and the Staff Department. He looked at the processed official documents sent by the Administrative Office with some boredom.

These official documents related to various aspects of the administrative system, including agriculture, industry, taxation, etc. From Jiang Dong's point of view, most of the handling of Wang Xueqin and the Administrative Office was feasible, and he just glanced at them briefly.

Jiang Dong adheres to the principle of getting things done today. He read a thick stack of documents from beginning to end, and his eyes felt sore and astringent.

"Er Niu, give these things to the people in the Administrative Office."

The documents on the desk were divided into two categories, one that Jiangdong felt was handled appropriately, and the other that he attached his own opinions to.

Two soldiers from the Internal Guard moved the documents away, and someone from the Administrative Office would come to pick them up before closing time.

Jiang Dong stretched out, and the joints on his body made a crackling sound.

He rubbed his sore eyes, walked to the door of the office and looked into the distance, ready to relax, but the chirping and hilarity outside showed no signs of weakening.

At this moment, Su Qing happily ran from the headquarters compound to Jiang Dong's office.

Her shoulder-length short hair was fluttering in the wind, her two small fists were jumping up and down on her chest, and her slender but powerful feet were running quickly.

After seeing Jiang Dong, she suddenly stopped the car with a shy smile on her face.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone over the roof covered with old tiles and fell on her young body. A golden halo enveloped her whole body, making her indescribably beautiful.

Jiang Dong looked at her with a smile. At this moment, Su Qing was like the Weaver Girl in the sky, exuding endless tenderness from the inside out.

Seeing Jiang Dong's burning gaze, Su Qing's face turned even redder, like a red strawberry that was quietly ripening.

Zhao Erniu and the soldiers of the inner guard turned away subconsciously, but they still looked at Jiang Dong and Su Qing from time to time.

"Brother Dong..." I don't know whether she was afraid of being heard or what, but her voice was as thin as a mosquito's moan.

"Are you still busy?"

Jiang Dong looked at Su Qing with a smile until her whole face turned red.

"My heart was pounding early this morning. I knew you would definitely come over, so I finished my work and waited for you here."

"ah!"

Su Qing stared wide-eyed, not immediately understanding Jiang Dong's teasing intention.

It wasn't until he saw the expression on Jiang Dong's face that he realized what he was doing. He smiled sweetly and rolled his eyes in his mind.

"Seeing that you have had a hard time this month, I feel sorry for you.

I have prepared some food you like to eat to relax you."

This is the reason she has prepared for a long time.

In short, Su Qing will not admit that she committed... lovesickness on the Qiqiao Festival...

Jiang Dong held Su Qing's neck and pulled her forward, rubbing her head vigorously with a big hand until her soft and fragrant hair was turned into a chicken nest.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Dong strode towards the yard where Su Qing lived, with his hands behind his back.

"snort!"

Su Qing stomped her foot bitterly and frantically combed her hair with her hands.

"hehe……"

"hey-hey……"
