When the host opens the plug-in

Chapter 122 The Crying Audience (First Order!!!)

It's been a long time.

The host on the stage said: "Applause is welcome, the soldiers in the Central Theater have made outstanding contributions to the flood fighting and rescue of the Nanjiang River!"

Backstage, nine soldiers selected by Xiao Junhu as representatives to accept the award stood in a row, and under the leadership of Xiao Junhu, they walked out in unison.

When the team passed by Ren Ming, he gave a cheering gesture to Wu Yaqing who was standing at the end of the team, and whispered, "Don't forget what I told you."

Wu Yaqing nodded, reluctantly returned his ugly smile, looked away, and followed the team.

On the stage.

After the team walked to the designated position, the team stopped with Xiao Junhu's "Stand still!", and then turned around in unison to face the audience.

The male and female hosts came to them, one right and one left, standing at the head and the end of the row.

The male host first said to the audience: "Let me introduce to you, the person next to me is the soul of this heroic team, Platoon Leader Xiao Jun Hu Xiao."

Whoa!
applause.

A few seconds later, when the applause subsided, the host looked at Xiao Junhu and asked, "Platoon Leader Xiao, we just saw from the video that the soldiers' feet and legs were swollen, and some were bitten by poisonous insects. Bubbles and pus. I think everyone is very concerned about how you recovered after you went back, and did you have any sequelae?"

Xiao Junhu put his trembling hands behind his back, and said in a deep and forceful voice: "Thank you for your concern! After recuperation, we are fine. At present, our soldiers have returned to training..."

Tail.

Wu Yaqing's heart has never been beating so fast.

In the face of so many leaders in the audience, he was interviewed by the provincial TV station. This was a scene he had never experienced in his 19 years of life, and he could not even imagine it.

But now, it's actually happening.

He suddenly felt a dry mouth and his face began to heat up, which was the result of various emotions such as tension, excitement, and apprehension.

He could no longer hear what the platoon leader and the male host said.His attention was all on the hostess, because he was going to be interviewed by her after a while.

It took a while, but Wu Yaqing felt as if it had been a century, and finally, he heard the hostess beside him speak.

"Tell me about yourself."

"I...cough!" As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his tone had changed, and he coughed to cover up his embarrassment. He didn't dare to watch the audience's reaction, for fear that they would laugh at him.He looked at the floor two meters in front of him, and said in a trembling voice, "My name is Wu Yaqing."

After saying his name with difficulty, he remembered Ren Ming's explanation, and said again: "I am the number one... This is my first time to be interviewed, and I didn't speak well. I hope you don't, don't laugh at me."

After stuttering and finishing what Ren Ming taught him, the hostess said, "Why would you laugh at you?" She turned to the audience and said, "Everyone, give him some applause and encourage him, okay?"

Whoa!
applause.

Seeing the blushing and stammering young soldier on the stage, the audience all had aunt smiles on their faces. Compared with a tough guy like Xiao Junhu, Wu Yaqing is more likely to make people feel friendly.

Hearing the thunderous applause from the audience, Wu Yaqing raised his head and looked down the stage.

What he saw were kind faces and encouraging eyes.

Something called self-confidence quietly condensed in Wu Yaqing's heart.

These applause... are all for me?
As the bottom three perennial winners in the school and a recruit in the army, he is either being trained or preparing for training. He has never received so much encouragement and recognition from strangers at one time.

Is it true that I can be recognized by so many people?

His heartbeat gradually stabilized, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curled up, revealing the iconic little canine teeth.

Interviews don't seem so scary.

Excited in his heart, he directly raised his right hand and saluted the audience with a standard salute, which was the highest courtesy he could express as a soldier.

The applause got louder.

The hostess deliberately waited for the applause to stop before asking, "Yaqing, in the video, you called your mother and said you didn't go to fight the flood. Why did you lie to her?"

Wu Yaqing said: "Because I'm afraid she will cry."

After this sentence, Wu Yaqing suddenly opened the chatter box, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of memory, "She is a crybaby. The night before enlisting in the army, she told me that 50 yuan would be deducted for leave. My dad sent me off, so she didn't go. But I know, he didn't feel sorry for the 50 yuan, but she was afraid of crying and embarrassing me.

"The next day, when the train was leaving, I saw her through the window, and she waved to me with tears in my eyes." Having said that, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Since joining the army, we haven't seen each other once. From my home to the army, the round trip costs several hundred yuan, which is half a month's salary for her junior. And she has never traveled far. I am afraid that she will get lost. Don't let her see me."

"The army will send out mobile phones twice a week, and I call her every time. That day, it happened to be the day we called, and I didn't want her to know that I was going to fight the flood, because she would worry and cry. I didn't want her to cry .”

After Wu Yaqing finished speaking, he wiped away his tears again.

boom!
The applause this time was bigger than ever before, and his filial piety moved the audience.

Many people also cried together.

The applause made him suddenly realize where he was, and his face blushed again. He carefully poked his head to the left, wanting to see the platoon leader's reaction.

He will definitely blame himself for embarrassing the army!
But to his surprise, there was no trace of anger on Xiao Junhu's face.

"Yaqing, after our show is broadcast, I believe your mother will definitely see it. Do you have anything to say to her?" asked the hostess.

Wu Yaqing was stunned for a moment, looking at the thousands of eyes staring at him in the audience, a little ashamed to express his feelings, after some psychological construction, he looked at the camera and said: "Mom, Dad, pay attention to your body."

After finishing speaking, he was speechless.In fact, he wanted to say a lot, but he couldn't get it out of his mouth.

The audience applauded again.

Now that the interview is over, it's time for the award presentation.

The male host said emotionally: "In the face of a catastrophe, you bravely shoulder heavy burdens and race against time to transfer the masses. Pairs of swollen feet are the most beautiful existence in the world. You use them to open up the possibility of life." Green channel. 2020 touched the Nanjiang model group, the soldiers in the central theater who made outstanding contributions to the Nanjiang flood fighting and rescue."

……

"Goodbye, Platoon Leader Xiao."

"Goodbye, Yaqing."

Beside the bus, Ren Ming waved to the two people on the bus. After receiving the award, they were about to return to the army.

This made Ren Ming feel very sorry, he still wanted to treat them to a meal, it seems that he can only talk about it next time he has a chance.

"Goodbye, Brother Ren!"

"Goodbye, reporter Ren, thank you for your guidance."
