Although Xiang Nan accepted gifts, it was not a big deal in the eyes of the political commissar.

The art troupe is not a paradise, there are a lot of tricks here.

There are those who go through the back door, there are those who are corrupt, there are those who have indiscriminate relationships between men and women... In comparison, collecting some snacks, some food stamps, and cloth stamps are nothing.

And, to be honest, he was actually happy to see Xiang Nan receiving the gift.

Xiang Nan behaved like a saint before, only knowing how to give but not giving back.

A person like this is actually useless because he has no selfish desires. Without selfish desires, it is difficult to control.

In comparison, the current Xiang Nan is actually cuter. He is also more willing to cultivate him as his own.

…

The only person in Xiang Nan who was willing to help without accepting a gift was He Xiaoping.

He Xiaoping also wanted to act in a drama, but she didn't know how to act. She was too embarrassed to ask Hao Shuwen, Xiao Suizi and others because she was afraid of being rejected.

She was too embarrassed to go to Xiang Nan. Firstly, she had no money to give gifts, and secondly, she did not dare to give gifts to Xiang Nan, for fear of tarnishing him and damaging her image in his heart.

So she didn't dare to look for anyone, and she secretly thought about it. While recalling the movies and model plays she had watched before, she secretly practiced.

At noon that day, after lunch, while everyone was going to rest, Xiaoping practiced secretly in the rehearsal hall.

At this time, the team leader has posted the main characters and several scenes, allowing the members to figure out and practice on their own to facilitate the selection a few days later.

The role Xiaoping is practicing now is a little nurse in the second scene, and her role is not important.

She knew that good roles would never come to her, so she was content with just playing a little nurse.

I was practicing diligently when I suddenly heard someone behind me cough lightly, "Uh-huh~"

Xiaoping was startled, and quickly turned around to look, and saw Xiang Nan standing there with a smile. She was immediately happy, then blushed, and lowered her head shyly.

…

"What are you doing here?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

"..." Xiaoping rubbed the corner of her clothes and didn't dare to answer.

She was too self-abased to tell the truth for fear of being scolded as wishful thinking.

"You can't practice like this, so let me help you rehearse." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

When Xiaoping heard this, she raised her head in surprise and looked at Xiang Nan, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

"But...I don't have a gift for you." She lowered her voice shyly,

"I have to accept gifts from everyone who asks me for help." Xiang Nan smiled, "You are the only exception."

When He Xiaoping heard what he said, it was like taking a sip of honey, which was sweet to her heart.

It turns out that in his mind, he is so different.

"Come on, let me help you rehearse~"

Xiaoping was feeling happy when Xiang Nan had already walked up to her and taught her step by step.

Afterwards, Xiaoping forgot that lesson and what Xiang Nan taught her specifically. She only remembered that at noon that day, the weather was very good and her smile was very sweet~

…

"By the way, have you got the photos back?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile after the rehearsal.

"There is still one day to get it back." Xiaoping nodded.

In the 1970s, the work efficiency of photo studios was very slow. You had to wait for a week to get the photos. In comparison, now you can wait and get the photos immediately.

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded and took out a cloth bag from his pocket, "You can send these things to uncle as well."

Xiaoping was stunned, took it, opened it, and was surprised.

Inside was a wad of banknotes, food stamps and cloth stamps. Altogether, there were about fifty yuan, fifty kilograms of national food stamps, and ten feet of cloth stamps.

These things may seem inconspicuous now, but at the time, they were more precious than life.

"Comrade Liu, how can I ask for this!" Xiaoping quickly stuffed the bag back to Xiang Nan, as if her hands were burned.

"I'm not giving it to you, I'm giving it to your father." Xiang Nan pushed the cloth bag to her again and said, "He is in a labor camp now, and his life must be hard. These things can at least make him live a little better."

In the film, He Xiaoping's father became ill due to years of hard labor and overwork, and his body collapsed. He died before he could be rehabilitated. It was really pitiful. Xiaoping suffered so much because of this that she cried until her tears dried up.

Xiang Nan hopes to help her solve this regret. After sending these money, food stamps, and cloth stamps, it should make his life easier. Maybe he can recover until the day he is rehabilitated.

When Xiaoping heard what he said, she couldn't help but shed tears.

She knew her father must be having a bad day, but she didn't have the ability to help him.

As a new recruit, in her first year of joining the army, her monthly allowance was only six yuan, which she could barely make ends meet. So she actually felt very guilty and painful, and hated herself for being powerless.

Now that Xiang Nan is willing to help her and pay so much for her, she is really touched.

"Okay, don't cry. After you get the photo, hurry up and send it over." Xiang Nan comforted, "If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will help you."

He is a deputy company commander and his monthly allowance is 72 yuan, which is twelve times that of He Xiaoping. He uses part of the money to supplement her every month, so it is not a burden.

"Comrade Liu, you are such a good person." He Xiaoping said gratefully.

Growing up, apart from her father, Xiang Nan was the best person to her.

"Don't say I'm a good person." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan waved his hands.

"Why?" Xiaoping was a little confused.

"You will understand later." Xiang Nan smiled.

…

Suddenly, Xiaoping wanted to take the photos.

But she didn't want her superiors to suddenly summon a cultural troupe to visit the troops practicing the drill, so her plan had to be postponed.

The art troupe rode in a truck to express condolences. After arriving at the front line, they immediately divided into several performance groups to cheer for the soldiers along the way.

Xiang Nan was divided into a group with He Xiaoping, Lin Dingding, Xiao Suizi and others. They marched with the troops while cheering for them. To be honest, it was quite strenuous.

Xiang Nan was a little better. After all, he was transferred from the company to the art troupe, and he was used to training before. Marching in a hurry was not a problem for him.

But for a few delicate female soldiers, marching fifty kilometers in a hurry would be life-threatening.

After walking less than five kilometers, Lin Dingding's feet were blistered and she frowned in pain.

"Liu Feng, I'm in so much pain that I really can't walk." She frowned and said coquettishly to Xiang Nan.

"Then you sit down and rest for a while, and we will go forward first." Xiang Nan said decisively, and then continued walking forward with He Xiaoping and Xiao Suizi.

If it were the Liu Feng from before, he would definitely help her pop the blisters and bandage the wounds as soon as possible, and then carry her on the road so that she wouldn't fall behind. But Xiang Nan didn't want to waste the effort to carry this green tea essence.

"Hey, you don't care about me anymore?" Lin Dingding heard this and shouted quickly.

If she rests any longer, she will fall behind. By then, the entire army will have arrived at their destination, and she will be the laughing stock of the entire army if she is still resting halfway.

"You wait for the tanks behind you to come, and let them take you for a ride." Xiang Nan smiled, "You are so good-looking, they will take pity on you."

"Let's go." After saying that, he said to Xiao Suizi and He Xiaoping, and took them away with large strides.
