Chapter 254 Butterfly Wings

The next morning, when Ning Xiyue went to the team to chat with the aunts, she saw the team leader holding a bag and riding a bicycle to the commune.

Near noon, when Ning Xiyue went back to cook, she saw the captain coming back on his bicycle, humming a song, with a smile on his face.

Ning Xiyue saw it clearly from a distance. The smile on the captain's face never stopped. She had never seen him so happy before.

She touched her chin with her hand, nodding thoughtfully as she walked. It must be the recruitment matter that Mayor Huang told them about. They should get the exact news in the afternoon.

As Ning Xiyue expected, after lunch the team leader notified all team members to go to the brigade for a meeting. There was something important to convey, and he emphasized that everyone must go, no one can be left behind, and everyone must arrive on time, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

On the way there, Chen Yetu was very confused. Although it was a long time ago in her previous life, she didn't remember many small things, and she couldn't remember whether this meeting had been held or not.

But in her impression, she has never seen the team leader take it as seriously as he does today. It is common for members not to attend meetings, and she has never seen the team leader emphasize it.

Many things in this life are different from the previous life, and many things have changed. She doesn’t know what will happen in the future or what will happen. For example, she is very curious about what I am going to talk about today.

"Xiyue, what do you think is the big deal? It's not common for the captain to take it so seriously."

Based on the situation in previous years, Wu Guifang speculated: "Maybe it's the beginning of spring, and the team leader wants to arrange the spring ploughing in advance. Look, the ice is starting to melt."

"It's very likely. Does that mean we will start to go back to work soon?"

Liu Yao nodded in agreement with Wu Guifang's point of view, and suddenly howled, "Ah, no, I haven't rested enough yet, why do I have to end my hibernation life? It's uncomfortable."

"Oh, is this true? This news is so sudden, I can't accept it." Wang Mengmeng also howled along, just like a student who suddenly knew he had to go to class.

"Don't scare yourself. It will take at least ten days for the ice to melt, and that's only when there's sunshine."

Ning Xiyue raised her chin and gestured to the office not far ahead.

"We'll be at the team soon. Once we get there we'll know what they're going to say. Stay calm."

Ning Xiyue looked at them teasingly. This was the downside to the female educated youth in the Youth League Institute getting familiar with each other. When a few of them walked together, they made a lot of noise, more noisy than a group of sparrows, and they couldn't stop talking to each other.

Chen Yechu picked up the small stool and quickened his pace and walked forward: "Xiyue is right, we will know soon, let's walk faster and get a good position."

"OK."

After saying this, the five female educated youth began to compete in speed again, each one walking faster than the other, and in the end they even started running. A group of them ran madly to the dam where the team was holding a meeting, and occupied the seats in the first few rows.

Team members arrived one after another, and the dam was soon full. When all the people were present, the team leader started shouting from a big loudspeaker with a smile on his face and an excited tone.

"Fellow villagers, please be quiet and listen to me. I have some great news to announce."

This sentence successfully calmed everyone down, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the good news the captain had to say.

The captain continued speaking with satisfaction after seeing that everyone had quieted down.

"A coal mine has been discovered in Daqi Mountain behind our team. The higher-ups are planning to start mining. The commune leaders have sent out a message that they will be hiring a large number of people, and they will need a huge number of people. They will be paid and provided with meals. The benefits are generous, and everyone will have a chance. They can work until the mining is finished. I will post the documents and the recruitment notice on the bulletin board later. Everyone should remember to check it out after the meeting."

As soon as these words came out, the people sitting below were in an uproar. The whole place was boiling. When did recruiting workers become a huge number?

The captain raised his hand and pressed it down: "Quiet, I know you are all very excited, but don't get excited yet. Wait until I finish what I say, and then you can discuss it later."

"Captain, please tell us, we are not excited." A brave man shouted loudly.

"This recruitment is open to the commune, which will select candidates. It will start tomorrow and close in ten days. Anyone who is interested can sign up.

Given that spring ploughing will be around the corner, only two people from each family can go during the ploughing period, and the family can take turns going. However, enough strong laborers must be reserved to ensure the smooth progress of the ploughing, and the work in the fields must not be affected in any way. ”

The two places also greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the villagers. Everyone had an expectant and excited smile on their face, and they couldn't wait to see the notice and go to the town to sign up.

You won't earn much money from working in the fields all year round, but if you go out to work, you can not only earn money for your family but also solve the problem of food for two people, saving a lot of food. It's also close to home, so it's really a good place to go.

Chen Yetu was shocked when he heard the news, and there was a strange light flashing in his pupils.

What's going on? This kind of thing never happened in her previous life. When she was an educated youth, coal mining did not exist at all. As for whether it happened later, she had never paid attention to it, but it was definitely not happening now.

The changes in this life are really huge. Are her butterfly wings really that powerful? She influenced so much?

It seems that this life and the previous life are two completely different lives, and she can no longer look at this life with the old perspective of the previous life.

Things are constantly changing and developing. She has to look at everything in the future with a developmental perspective and can no longer compare how things were in the past with how they are now.

Chen Yetu smiled with relief. Many people and things in this world have changed. Perhaps this world is no longer the original world, but another parallel universe. She should not worry about these things anymore. The only thing she should do is to live well every day from now on.

Ning Xiyue, who was good at observation, was sitting next to her and was almost laughing to death at the expression on Chen Yechu's face.

She changed her expression every now and then, and she changed five or six expressions for each piece of news from the captain. It can be seen that she was really shocked. She must have been very confused inside with such different expressions.

As one of the discoverers of the coal mine, she made it come into being ahead of schedule, and she felt a little sorry for Chen Yechu, who was frightened.

But she was still very happy in her heart. Coal mining can not only enable the country to develop and progress, but also provide many employment opportunities. When people earn money, their living standards can be improved and the national economy can also be boosted. It is simply a great thing.

Ning Xiyue was still very happy, as she had contributed her part to the country's development.

"Please be quiet for a moment. There is one last thing to say. We will adjourn the meeting after this. The large canteen left over from before has been requisitioned. Qiuju will bring a few people to clean it up later. It will be the canteen for the mining team. The canteen for the brigade has also been temporarily requisitioned. This will be a work shed. Don't come here for fun if you have nothing to do."

"That's all for now, the meeting is adjourned."
