Chapter 1113: Chapter 1112: Qingyun Enlists 2

When Yang Fengying and Fang Ning and the others came out, Yang Fengying opened the conversation, "Fang Ning, what do you think of Qingxue’s sister’s voice?"

"Oh, I wasn’t paying attention to that. Her speaking voice is quite pleasant, though, shouldn’t be worse than Qingxue’s." Feng Qingxue’s stunning performance at that year’s bonfire celebration was still fondly talked about.

After Fang Ning had said this, he paused and looked at his friend in surprise, "What, you’re interested in Qingxue’s sister?"

Yang Fengying spoke earnestly, "She’s got a natural talent for singing. Bai Xue, what do you think?"

Bai Xue used to be the lead singer in the military cultural troupe, and even after she stopped working, she hadn’t given up practicing. She carefully recalled the sound and breath of Feng Qingyun’s speech and answered, "She’s pretty and has a good voice; it would be such a waste if she doesn’t join the cultural troupe. Although some people in the troupe don’t have the best influence, they are just a tiny minority and won’t affect her development."

The military district cultural troupe was located near the headquarters, and their unit had its own cultural team, which was under the charge of Yang Fengying and Fang Ning.

With these two in strict supervision, their cultural team didn’t have any bad influence.

At this point, Bai Xue glanced at Yang Fengying, "You are an opera singer, and now you perform revolutionary dramas; better not delay her. At her age, she is not suited to learn Beijing opera. Singing or dancing, on the other hand, would be good choices."

Yang Fengying gave her a glance but said nothing.

Although Bai Xue’s way of dealing with people wasn’t as off-putting as before, every time Yang Fengying thought of her good friend, she found it hard to become friends with Bai Xue. She couldn’t forget how Hao Xiaomei had to break up with her boyfriend Zhang Jun, then followed the army’s arrangement to marry the much older General Wu. As soon as she married, she had to become a stepmother and also take care of the elderly.

After leaving the Capital, Bai Xue wanted to get away from Su Junlin’s parents and her two young sons, but Su Junlin’s parents sent the kids to her anyway. The two boys were more mischievous than live monkeys and quite bossy, causing no end of trouble for Bai Xue.

Serves her right! Yang Fengying thought to herself.

It’s said that to know one’s mistakes and to correct them is the greatest virtue, but the tragedy that had occurred was irreversible. Even if the instigator reformed, so what? Who would stand up for justice for Hao Xiaomei, who suffered through no fault of her own? Who could extricate her from an unhappy marriage? Who could restore a disheartened Zhang Jun’s drive and ambition? No one.

Bai Xue didn’t know what was on Yang Fengying’s mind. When she reached her own doorstep, she waved at them, "Goodbye!"

She had promised to give a necklace to Fubao, so the first thing she did when she got home was to rummage through her drawers and find her jewelry box. Inside were gifts from the children of the big compound in the cultural troupe, and pieces she had bought on the black market when she was in the Capital, spending a good portion of her salary on them. No girl could resist exquisite and beautiful jewelry, and she was no exception.

One piece too precious to give, another too beloved to part with, Bai Xue looked from one to the next, finding all of them beautiful. Finally, she clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, and grabbed a necklace at random. When she opened her eyes, it was a gold necklace.

Bai Xue’s favorite was this heavy gold necklace that glittered and shone brilliantly.

With a turn of her eyes, she exchanged the gold necklace with a less valuable jade bead chain from the jewelry box.

"Here, for you, looks better than those broken grass beads, right?" In the evening, Bai Xue hurried excitedly to the Lu Family and hung the jade bead chain around Fubao’s neck, "Your old broken grass beads are so dark, this one’s bright green."
