Chapter 223 Bonfire Party
Chapter 223 Bonfire Party
The eight people were training in the army, and they didn't know how many years had passed. However, since the broadcast of "The Iron Man", the popularity of several of them has soared a lot. The number of fans on Weibo for each of them has increased by at least 20 million. Even Su Xinhao and Wen Yuquan, who are little-known in the entertainment industry, have now become known to the public.
It’s just that they are not allowed to use their cell phones in the army, and they don’t know that they have become famous. Film contracts have been flying into their agents’ hands like snowflakes, making the agents so happy that they can’t stop smiling and say that they made the right decision to take this show.
During this period, Mu Xiaoqiao called Julie again to ask about Zhao Minna's condition. She learned that Zhao Minna was still unconscious. However, Ling Xiao stopped all his work and concentrated on taking care of her. He talked to her by her bed every day and took good care of her with all his heart.
Mu Xiaoqiao felt a little relieved.
The training days passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, we had been in the army for more than two months. We had become accustomed to the life in the barracks and no longer felt that the training was so hard.
They didn't know when Zhou Hanqing stopped being so fierce and became more humane. He would occasionally praise them, making them feel flattered.
The day of departure was getting closer and closer, and everyone felt reluctant to leave. At noon that day, Bao Jingjing and Mu Xiaoqiao were washing clothes in the bathroom when Murong Xue ran over and said, "The instructor just came and asked us to get ready because we are going out for training in the afternoon."
They have become accustomed to various training methods in recent days. They have been inside the military camp, outside the military camp, in the wild, in the forest. They have been everywhere and can go at any time. So no one was surprised at all about going out for training again.
This time we were not told to bring too much stuff, so we probably wouldn't need to spend the night outside. We set off at two o'clock in the afternoon. We took the bus for about two hours, and when we got off, we found that we had arrived at the field training base.
This is another training point for the special forces. It is a large open space with various obstacle training facilities. There is also a part that is a police dog training base. However, there was no one on the training ground today. Everyone was wondering when Yang Xiao walked over.
"We will take a day off this afternoon and hold a bonfire party here in the evening to formally welcome several comrades from our entertainment industry."
"Wow!" Everyone suddenly became excited. Murong Xue said, "Coach, we are almost leaving. Isn't it a bit late to welcome them now? Shouldn't this be a farewell?"
"Welcome and farewell, let's do it together," she leaned closer to everyone and lowered her voice, "It was your instructor Zhou's idea. When he first came, he said that I can't be nice to you so quickly, otherwise I won't be able to maintain my authority."
"..."
Everyone was quite speechless. Instructor Zhou actually had so many thoughts on his mind. It seemed that he saw that everyone was leaving and there was no need to be so pretentious. He was finally being down-to-earth.
"Let's go. There's still a lot of work to do. You guys aren't here just to play." Yang Xiao said as he led everyone inside, all the way to the end of the training ground. After turning a corner, there was a large open space with a large sunshade. In the shade underneath, there were piles of various ingredients, bamboo sticks, firewood, barbecue grills, wooden racks, fruits, various drinks and beverages, and even a whole sheep.
Zhou Hanqing was busy working with his sleeves rolled up. When he saw them coming, he immediately said, "You are finally here. Come to work."
This was totally inconsistent with Instructor Zhou's personality. Everyone looked at each other, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed, and their faces turned red from trying to hold it back.
Seeing that no one moved, Zhou Hanqing's face turned stern and he shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Come to work, this is an order."
This was the right feeling, but everyone knew he was bluffing, so they all held back their laughter and replied, "Yes!"
So everyone was busy, some were washing vegetables, some were washing fruits, some were cutting vegetables, some were stringing vegetables, some were setting up the barbecue, some were roasting a whole lamb...
The atmosphere was warm and lively, everyone was laughing and having fun. Amidst the busyness, the sun gradually set and night was about to fall.
Everything was almost packed up. Ruan Haoyu and Qi Nanfeng were in charge of watching the whole roasted lamb, turning it over constantly. Mu Xiaoqiao, Bao Jingjing and Yang Xiao were roasting lamb skewers, chicken wings, vegetables and the like. Su Xinhao and Wen Yuquan were setting up a fire and making a bonfire. Gao Qi and Murong Xue, following Zhou Hanqing's help, cut and skewered the vegetables, and transported them to Mu Xiaoqiao and the others' barbecue grill.
"Wow, is the feast so rich tonight?" A familiar voice came, and Qi Nanfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. Qin Chu was here.
Zhou Hanqing wiped his hands and came out to greet them. He was the one who contacted Qin Chu at the beginning, so they were very familiar with each other. He smiled and said, "I knew that Qin Chu's agent would come tonight, so I prepared it specially. Did you catch his eye?"
Qin Chu smiled and said, "Captain Zhou, when did you become so humorous? Thank you for your invitation. I am not here empty-handed. I have brought a few singers with me tonight, and they will entertain you later."
Sure enough, Qin Chu was followed by several artists, holding guitars and other musical instruments. The last thing she lacked was artists. Tonight's lineup was comparable to a high-level concert.
"That's great. Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
Zhou Hanqing took off his apron and instantly transformed into a tall and mighty soldier. Mu Xiaoqiao suddenly felt that if Zhou Hanqing ventured into the entertainment industry, he might be able to make a name for himself. He switched roles easily and smoothly without any sense of incongruity.
"Next, on behalf of our special forces, I would like to welcome the arrival of the Iron Man program team. These days, several comrades have withstood the test, which is really beyond my expectation. I originally thought that a few would be eliminated, but I didn't expect that everyone has persisted until now. I am impressed. I am proud of you. All veterans, please stand up and applaud the new recruits in our entertainment industry!"
All the veterans present stood up at the same time at Zhou Hanqing's call, and the applause was deafening.
Ruan Haoyu and eight others stood up quickly, their hearts filled with excitement. They had retreated countless times and thought about leaving. Without the encouragement of the veterans and the cooperation between teammates, none of them might have persisted until now.
"salute!"
At Ruan Haoyu's command, the eight people saluted Zhou Hanqing in unison. At this moment, they thanked Zhou Hanqing from the bottom of their hearts. They had worked hard for more than two months, and Zhou Hanqing had worked even harder. He had always been with them no matter what kind of training they were in, honing their willpower. He was a qualified instructor.
After the ceremony, Zhou Hanqing said: "Next, I declare that our bonfire party officially begins. Everyone should eat and drink enough tonight, have fun, and sing happily."
I don't know who started singing military songs, and for a moment, there was a chorus on the field. The atmosphere was warm, and everyone was drinking and having fun.
After the song ended, there was thunderous applause. A singer came forward and started playing the guitar and singing for everyone.
After he finished singing, Su Xinhao and Wen Yuquan couldn't help but come on stage and sang and danced for everyone. They were originally a new idol group, but they had not yet made their mark before, and no one had seen their singing and dancing works. But today, it was seen that both of them had very good singing and dancing skills, and the show was very exciting. It should not be difficult for them to become popular in time.
After the dance, there was thunderous applause all around. Someone urged Ruan Haoyu to sing a song as well. Ruan Haoyu was not good at singing and did not want to expose his weakness in front of everyone, so he pushed Qi Nanfeng out to sing.
Qi Nanfeng's original image to the public was that of a singer, so singing was naturally no problem for him. Tonight, because Qin Chu was present, he picked out two affectionate love songs and sang them. After the two songs, it seemed that Qin Chu's eyes were shining.
Several other artists also showed off their talents, some sang, some performed magic, and the scene was very lively.
Mu Xiaoqiao was enjoying the performance while eating delicious food. She noticed that Zhou Hanqing did not join the performance, but watched quietly with a faint smile on his face. Maybe it was because they were about to leave, so he was a little sad and stopped blaming everyone.
As time went by, the bonfire burned brighter and brighter, lighting up the entire night sky. Everyone danced and chatted around the bonfire, enjoying this rare relaxing time.
