"What? Me, narrow-minded?"

Gao Cuiping was furious; her nose was trembling.

Gu Yunyang said confidently, "Of course, do you still dare to say you're not narrow-minded?"

The Central Plains region was experiencing drought, resulting in a significant food shortage.

Grain is being requisitioned across the country in order to save as many lives as possible.

The higher authorities issued a policy to collect more grain. Our Hongqi Brigade has always been a backward brigade in Baishi Commune.

Having finally gotten a chance to advance, all the team members were willing to cut back on their own spending to save two more people.

Why is it that you, Gao Cuiping, only think about your own meager possessions, and are afraid that others will eat even a single banana or sweet potato from your family?

You're a brigade cadre, how can your thinking be so backward?

With your mindset, do you even deserve to be a brigade leader?

"Well said!"

Fan Xiangbei clapped his hands and said, "Secretary Gu is right. Gao Cuiping, someone like you is not suitable to be the women's director."

His way of addressing Gu Yunyang also changed from the more casual Yunyang at the beginning to the three characters "Secretary Gu".

This is Fan Xiangbei showing respect to Gu Yunyang.

Although he is old and has made contributions, as an elder, I am willing to respect Gu Yunyang in formal occasions.

This is a practical action to support Gu Yunyang, showing his approval of Gu Yunyang's role as the brigade secretary.

Gao Cuiping was taken aback.

Gu Yunyang's words were practically pushing her into a fire pit.

"I...I didn't," Gao Cuiping retorted.

"You didn't? Didn't you object to me preparing these bananas for the brigade? Didn't you say I shouldn't deliver the bananas upstairs?"

“I didn’t. I mean, you can’t use your own name.”

"When did I say we should use our own name? I've always said it's our Red Flag Brigade, it's our Red Flag Brigade's honor, and it's our chance to earn the title of Advanced Brigade. Otherwise, given the current state of our Red Flag Brigade, when will we ever be eligible for the Advanced Brigade title?"

Since its establishment, the Red Flag Brigade has been completely excluded from the list of advanced brigades.

They wouldn't miss such a rare opportunity.

Gao Cuiping is now extremely uncomfortable.

The way Fan Xiangbei and the others looked at her was like a knife.

Needless to say, Gu Hanping was Gu Yunyang's uncle.

Although it's not shown on their household registration, everyone knows about their relationship now.

Others include accountants and team leaders, who were formerly village chiefs.

They were all fawning over Gu Yunyang.

how so?

Gu Yunyang coughed and added, "Besides, who said the commune didn't pay for these dried bananas?"

What?

Gao Cuiping was stunned, then exclaimed again, "They're giving you money back?"

Gu Yunyang looked at Gao Cuiping as if she were an idiot: "Of course, this is all grain. Although we are sending it to the Central Plains for disaster relief, the commune can't just not give us any money. We will pay for it according to the price of coarse grains."

Fan Xiangbei was also taken aback.

Bananas are a good fruit, but it used to be quite difficult to sell them.

Bananas don't have a long shelf life, especially when stored with apples or other fruits; they ripen and spoil quickly.

However, they also felt it was somewhat inappropriate to sell it for money.

After all, they were sent for disaster relief.

However, considering that it's dried, it's still priced as coarse grains.

That would be more suitable.

After all, it's all food.

Gao Cuiping doesn't know how she got through it.

She glanced back at the brigade cadres who came out behind her and felt out of place among them.

Gu Hanping smiled as soon as he came out.
