After a while, everyone dispersed and left the Lu family's home. However, when they saw a few unfamiliar faces at the door, they turned around and called out to Mrs. Lin. "I heard that the female soldiers from the Arts and Crafts Regiment will perform in the army this New Year. Are those two female soldiers from that regiment? Why did Mrs. Lin bring them to look for Mrs. Lu?"

"The army has proposed a different activity this year, and they want all the military wives to join in the performance," one of the female soldiers at the door said. "Mrs. Lu is a university student, so we're here to ask her if she has a performance in mind."

​​

When everyone heard that, their interest was immediately piqued. When they heard that the female soldiers from the Arts and Crafts Regiment wanted Jiang Yao to represent the military wives to perform on stage, everyone was envious of it.

The two female soldiers only walked into the house when it was no longer crowded. They smiled at Jiang Yao. "I have heard that Sergeant Lu has a beautiful wife; it looks like it is true."

"Isn't that right? Jiang Yao is a girl from the south, so she has the gracefulness of a southern belle. It makes people feel especially comfortable with her." Mrs. Lin also complimented her.

Jiang Yao smiled embarrassedly after they praised her. However, when she heard that they wanted to arrange a program, she said, "You found the wrong person to arrange a program with you."

"What kind of talent do you have?"

The soldier did not take Jiang Yao's words to heart and asked, "Do you know how to play the piano?"

Jiang Yao shook her head. "I don't."

"Dance?" the female soldier continued to ask.

"I don't know that either."

Jiang Yao continued to shake her head.

"You can even paint!"

The other female soldier did not give up and asked, "Act in a drama? Perform?"

Jiang Yao shook her head again. "I really don't know anything. I'm a science student who studies medicine."

"What about singing? You know how to sing, right?"

Jiang Yao smiled. "I don't know that either." Her singing was out of tune. That was something that even Lu Xingzhi knew. She smiled helplessly. "That's why I said that you've found the wrong person. But you can look for Mrs. Zhu. She can play the flute. I heard her play it once. It's pretty good."

"What? I thought university students could play the piano, do calligraphy, and paint. If they can't even do that, how are they different from the rest of us? All those years of studying are wasted, right?" someone outside the door said sarcastically. "I thought university students are different from us."

Jiang Yao shot a cold glance at the door and said coldly, "I'm not that different from you guys. I just know a little more about medical skills. I can see whether a person is pregnant with a boy or a girl."

She did not know how to play chess, do calligraphy, and paint. Who said that university students had to know those things? Did she break the law?

She did not know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but it was not up to the people outside to look down on her. No matter how incompetent she was, did they not beg her for help?

The female soldier also felt embarrassed, so she hurriedly said, "Science students are exceptionally hard-working, so it's normal that they don't have time to learn those things. I was stupid when I was young and couldn't get into school. That's why my family sent me to learn singing and dancing before I joined the Arts and Crafts Regiment."

"Yeah, I admire those who are good at studying, especially medicine. In the future, they'll be doctors who treat patients and save people. Everyone will have to respect them." Another female soldier chimed in, her tone filled with admiration.
