Xiahou Xing and Qiao Sheng had no way to express their grievances.

When did they insult us?

Wei Kangjian gave the two of them a meaningful look. "I see. Then let's have two ideological education classes after the meeting."

Xiahou Xing: ?

Qiao Sheng: ?

Qiao Wanyue readily agreed, saying, "The leader is wise."

Wei Kangjian smiled and said, "Let's go in first."

The group entered a 20-square-meter meeting room with mahogany tables and long benches. There were no names on the seats, but according to convention, each seat was assigned to a fixed person.

Wei Kangjian sat in the middle seat, while the captains on either side of him were the best-performing brigade leaders in the commune.

Yunying and Xiahou Xing walked to opposite sides.

Wei Kangjian tapped on the table. "Little girl, come and sit down." He pointed to the seat to his left.

Qiao Wanyue glanced at Yang Dongliang.

Yang Dongliang gave her a push and said in a low voice, "Go quickly."

Qiao Wanyue knew it was good news, so she ran over immediately.

He took Xiahou Xing's seat before Xiahou Xing could sit down.

Xiahou Xing......

Yunying was more shrewd. He stood for a while and, realizing that the leader didn't intend for anyone else to move over, he sat down opposite Qiao Wanyue.

How old are you this year?

Before the meeting officially started, the leader chatted with Qiao Wanyue.

"twenty."

Wei Kangjian chuckled, “You’re so young, yet you’re already contributing to the country. When I was twenty, I was just a greenhorn who didn’t know anything. You’re quite promising at such a young age.”

Qiao Wanyue said, "How can I compare to you? I'm just good with words. How can I fight like you on the battlefield with real swords and spears?"

The more Wei Kangjian looked at the young girl, the more satisfied he became.

Unfortunately—

"If you meet a young man you like in the future, just tell this old man, and I'll act as your matchmaker." Wei Kangjian doesn't believe that a woman has to remain unmarried for life just because her husband has died; after all, no one can hang themselves on one tree.

Qiao Wanyue truly never considered remarrying.

But the leader meant well, so she readily accepted, saying, "Okay, when I take a fancy to someone, I'll pack them up and bring them home. Don't punish me then."

Wei Kangjian was stunned for a moment.

It took him a while to realize what was happening, and then he burst into laughter.

"You silly girl."

Before the meeting began, everyone received a document.

It shows the development benefits and sideline income of each brigade this quarter.

Dahe Commune has ten production brigades.

Due to the terrain, each brigade has its own advantages for development. For example, Baiyun Brigade focuses on developing fishery. Their fish are sent all over the country, making it the richest place in the entire commune.

Yunying briefly described her development strategy and future prospects.

The terrain of Gengjia Brigade is relatively flat. Their development is similar to that of Xiahe Village, with wheat and other grain crops as the main crops. This can basically sustain the villagers' food and clothing. The next step is to develop sideline businesses.

However, the Gengjia Brigade has not yet developed any side businesses.

It ranked last in the entire commune.

Qiao Sheng was heavily criticized. In the past six months, due to his personal reasons, the reputation of Qiao Family Brigade has plummeted, and the reputation of the commune has also been tarnished.
