Song Hongmei is the women's director of the compound and holds a high position. She has always been calm and sophisticated, but today she was so excited, which was very abnormal.

The gate of the yard was open, and Song Hongmei walked straight in and saw a group of people in the house.

She pushed her glasses up on her nose and said with an undiminished smile, "You're all here."

Chen Fengying and others stood up and gave their seats to Song Hongmei.

Song Hongmei had an extremely excited look on her face. She kept looking at Chu Yue with her eyes raised high. She took out the newspaper that she had been holding in her hand all the way here and placed it on the table in front of everyone.

Of course, the most important thing is to put it in front of Chu Yue.

Song Hongmei said, "Take a look at this."

"What are you reading? The newspaper? Director Song, have you forgotten that many of us are illiterate and can't even understand the newspaper—"

Chen Fengying stopped talking suddenly in the middle of her words.

Many of them came from rural areas, and even if the compound organized literacy classes, they didn't like to go to learn, so they only knew a few words. But it didn't matter if they couldn't read the words, as long as they could see the pictures clearly.

In the middle of the newspaper, there is a photo printed of a young woman wearing a white doctor's coat.

Take a closer look——

"This... this! Isn't this Miss Chu?"

"Ms. Chu is in the newspaper! Is this the front page headline? The photo is printed so big!"

"Ms. Chu! You've become famous!"

The sisters-in-law around gathered around, all staring at the photo in the newspaper with excitement. Even though it was a black and white newspaper, Chu Yue's face was fully exposed, and her facial features were all clearly visible.

There is no one else in the photo, only Chu Yue.

This is not about being on the loudspeaker in the village, nor about good deeds being posted on the bulletin board, but about being in the newspaper!

A newspaper distributed nationwide!

"Oh my God, Miss Chu is in the newspaper... Doesn't that mean that people all over the country know what she looks like and what she has done? She's hugely famous!" Chen Fengying clapped her hands and said excitedly.

Ever since the sisters-in-law came in, Lu Yuanbao has been playing with Chen Dazhuang obediently. The two children didn't make any noise, allowing the adults to talk in peace.

Hearing this, Lu Yuanbao couldn't help but be curious and stood on tiptoe to look inside, but there were too many people and he was just a child, let alone seeing the photos in the newspaper, he couldn't even see a corner of the newspaper.

Chen Dazhuang was straightforward and directly reached out and pushed away the aunts standing beside him.

"Make way, make way, auntie, please make way - make way, let Yuanbao and I take a look."

Lu Yuanbao worked hard together with Chen Dazhuang and squeezed in. Finally, they lay down next to the table and stood on tiptoe to look up.

"Yuan Bao! Your mother is on the newspaper! It really is Aunt Chu's face!"

Chen Dazhuang shouted excitedly.

Lu Yuanbao's black eyes sparkled as he stared at the huge photo of Chu Yue on the newspaper without blinking.

I have seen the photos, but I haven’t read the news content yet.

Chen Fengying urged anxiously again, "Hurry up and take a look, those of you who can read, what does the newspaper say? Is it praising Miss Chu?"

"Let me see." Wang Chunling was equally excited and raised her hand to take on this "glorious responsibility."

She picked up the newspaper, scanned the densely packed text, and relayed it as she read.

"This news praised the medical workers who also worked hard in the flood relief process... A reporter visited the front line and experienced the difficulties of medical workers... and chose Chu Meizi as the representative... It said that Chu Meizi saved a lot of people... She has a good reputation among the villagers and the villagers like her... It also said that Chu Meizi not only has outstanding personal abilities, but also led the entire medical team to prevent the epidemic... She has been on the front line for a long time and worked hard to protect the lives and safety of the people. Yes... yes..."

"What is it? Chun Ling, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!"

The sisters-in-law were listening with great interest when Wang Chunling suddenly got stuck, and the people around her began to frantically urge her to update.

Wang Chunling took a deep breath and said loudly, "It's said in the newspaper! The superiors have decided to select Comrade Chu Yue as a contemporary glorious youth and an outstanding work activist!"

"This... could it be that there is also a certificate?!"

“Maybe there’s a certificate?

"Do you think they will be awarded medals like the soldiers do? The shiny ones will look great!"

When the sisters-in-law heard that Chu Yue was selected, they started to speculate and were full of anticipation, just as if they had won the award themselves.

If you ask Chu Yue about this, she definitely doesn't know because it was the first time she saw it in the newspaper and she received the news at the same time as the other sisters-in-law in the compound.

So everyone's attention turned to Song Hongmei.

"Director Song, you must know. Tell us quickly, will there be a certificate of honor? Will there be a medal? At least there must be a letter of commendation!"

Song Hongmei took a breath and said, "I don't know whether what you said is true or not."

What?

Even Song Hongmei doesn’t know?

Everyone showed expressions of regret. This had even been reported in the newspapers. It would be too stingy if they didn't even give a certificate of honor!

Just when the atmosphere was getting tense, Song Hongmei turned to look at Chu Yue and reminded her with a smile, "Chu Yue, pack up these few days and prepare for a long trip next week."

Chu Yue was puzzled, "Traveling far away? Where to?"

Song Hongmei smiled and said, "Go to the capital to receive the award."

Overnight, the noisy and crowded room suddenly became quiet, as if everyone's breathing stopped because of the word "capital".

Chu Yue was the calmest among them. With some uncertainty, she asked again, "I want to go to the capital?"

"Yes, you are going to the capital."

Song Hongmei replied firmly.

After seeing the newspaper in the morning, the first thing Song Hongmei did was not to come to the compound to inform everyone, but to make several phone calls in the military office, asking questions one level at a time. She originally just wanted to find out why such a big thing in the newspaper was not notified to their compound.

You don’t know until you ask, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

Based on Chu Yue's outstanding performance at the flood control and disaster relief site, especially her set of epidemic prevention theories, after being sent to the Capital Medical Research Institute, it received recognition from many professors and scholars. For these two reasons, the original small praise became a big praise, which was sent all the way from the city to the province, and then from the province to the capital.

Finally, the leaders of the capital made the final decision and chose Chu Yue.

Chu Yue will be recognized as an outstanding worker and will be able to go to the capital to attend the award ceremony.

This matter was getting bigger and bigger as it spread up the ladder. The people at the top were afraid that if Song Hongmei and others found out, they would be screened out and would feel bad if their expectations were dashed.

So I didn’t say anything at first, wanting to wait until there were results before saying anything.

Unexpectedly, the newspaper published it first. Song Hongmei called to inquire and only then did she know about this incident.
