"Leaders, please come in."

Although the house is dilapidated and the furnishings are even more shabby, we can't let people come from far away and just stand in the yard and starve to death, right?

A group of people entered the main room. Zhao Yuanyi moved a few benches, wiped them clean and let everyone sit down.

Sun cooked some ginger and sugar water, poured a bowl for everyone, and then went back to the house.

Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Please forgive me, my father-in-law has a leg disease and it is not convenient for me to entertain you."

The leaders understood and said, "No problem."

Principal Qin turned his eyes and looked at Zhao Yuanyi, "You are classmate Su's husband? The Zhao Yuanyi who was admitted to the Beijing Medical College before graduating from junior high school?"

"yes."

Zhao Yuanyi was very calm. He didn't think there was anything to be happy about, as his wife was a top student who had been admitted to the top institution of learning.

"Haha, the young are really formidable, incredible, incredible."

Everyone believed that if Zhao Yuanyi graduated from high school, he would definitely be able to be admitted to Huaqing University or Peking University.

"Student Su, this time we are here mainly to give you a reward."

Chen Xuenian from the Municipal Education Bureau got to the point.

"On behalf of the Municipal Education Bureau, I would like to reward the first place student in the city, Su Jinyan, with 300 yuan and 100 kilograms of grain coupons, 10 kilograms of meat coupons, 10 feet of cloth coupons, and 10 industrial coupons. In the future, you should study harder, give back to society, and become a comrade who is useful to the country."

Su Jinyan stood up, took the brand new stack of solidarity certificates with both hands, bowed and saluted, and replied in an official manner: "Thank you, leader. I will study hard and repay the country in the future, and live up to the country's cultivation."

Chen Xuenian smiled and nodded, asking her to sit down.

Before Su Jinyan sat down, Deputy County Magistrate Li stood up and said, "Student Su, the county party committee and the county education bureau have agreed to grant our city's top scholar 200 yuan, 50 kilograms of food coupons, and a bicycle ticket. I hope you will have no worries when you go to school, study hard, and give back to the country in the future."

Su Jinyan: People in this era are really simple, and every word they say is "give back to the country and be a useful person to the country."

She took it with both hands, bowed, and said gratefully: "Thank you, County Magistrate Li, thank you, Director Huang. I will definitely live up to the leaders' painstaking efforts and study hard."

Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually so excited in his heart that he wanted to hug this big stack of unity and give it a few kisses.

What a windfall!

Five hundred yuan! If their family saves a little, it won’t be a problem to spend it in Beijing for two years!

County Magistrate Li smiled and nodded. This girl is good at speaking.

He unfolded the silk banner he had been holding and handed it to Su Jinyan, "Okay, there are two more reporters who want to take pictures and interview you."

Next, in this dim and dilapidated house, Su Jinyan proudly took photos with this group of city and county leaders, and accepted a brief interview with two reporters from the city newspaper.

With so many big leaders around, Sun even bought a chicken from her neighbors and slaughtered it to make soup. However, these leaders were unwilling to add burden to this poor family, so they all left after the interview.

But the leader had left, and Zhao Zhengjun and Sun were still happy, so they had to arrange to invite the people in the village who usually helped them in the evening.

Su Jinyan thought, since I'm treating you, I definitely can't just eat a chicken.

She took out some of the meat and grain coupons awarded by the city, and asked Zhao Yuanyi to borrow the team leader's bicycle to go to the commune to buy meat and some large bones, flour, and seasonings.

The Sun family was frugal and the only seasonings in their home were salt and vinegar, and very little soy sauce.

For dinner, Su Jinyan cooked, and Zhao Yuanyi invited the team leader and his wife, several elders of the Zhao family in the village, and the great-grandfather and the third uncle's family, with whom he usually got along well.

Su Jinyan had never cooked at the Zhao family, so no one knew whether she could cook or not.

This display of skills today really shocked Sun, who was helping out with the fire.

She really didn't expect that this delicate and weak daughter-in-law, who usually had her son pour the water for washing her face, could cook such delicious food!

Although it costs a bit.

Su Jinyan's family in his previous life was an ordinary family. He could cook simple meals since he was in junior high school. He learned to cook when he entered high school. After graduating from college, he often cooked for himself. His cooking skills were not very good, but compared to the Sun family, they were much better.

For dinner, Su Jinyan stewed potatoes and mushrooms with half a chicken, and made a simple Kung Pao Chicken with half a chicken. She also made a dish of braised bones with soy sauce, pork stewed with vermicelli, braised pork, boiled pork slices, mapo tofu, and scrambled eggs and pork slices with black fungus. For the staple food, she just steamed rice to save trouble.

The house is small, with one table on the kang and another on the floor.

The dim room cannot resist the aroma of food.

"I never thought that Su Zhiqing's cooking skills were so good."

"Haha, this is what we call a true person who doesn't show his true colors. This move earned our team a city championship and so many leaders came."

"Yes, Zhengjun, you have finally made it. Just wait and enjoy the good life in the future!"

After everyone talked for a while, Zhao Changqing saw Su Jinyan serving the main course and preparing to eat, so he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, stop, I have something to say."

"Yuan Yi's wife, after the city and county leaders left, I went to the commune and asked them for some rewards for you."

"The city and the county have given you a lot of rewards. The commune has discussed it and decided to give you 200 yuan, 30 kilograms of grain coupons, 5 kilograms of meat coupons, and 10 feet of cloth coupons. Our team has also discussed it and raised 50 yuan for you."

"Although the harvest in the village has been better in recent years, every household has just had enough food to eat. I hope you understand."

Zhao Changqing took out two hundred and fifty yuan and a stack of bills and put them on the dining table.

A big part of the reason for giving out the fifty yuan was because of Zhao Yuanyi and Zhao Zhengjun. As for the commune, Su Jinyan was running around because he wanted to take his cousin's family away and did not abandon his nephew and children.

If Su Jinyan abandoned her husband and children like other educated youth, he wouldn't care whether she ranked first in the city or the country. No matter how well she did in the exams, if she had bad character, he, Zhao Changqing, was not there to have nothing to do!

The women sitting at the dining table on the floor all had envious looks on their faces.

No wonder people say studying is useful.

This is not to mention the rewards from the city and county. The rewards from the commune alone are higher than their income for two years.

Naturally, she would not refuse the reward from the commune, but Su Jinyan could see the poor living conditions of the villagers by looking at the Zhao family.

"See? If you learn from your sister-in-law, you can only make a lot of money if you study well."

On the ground, a woman slapped her son on the head, breaking the silence.

Su Jinyan took the money naturally, "Thank you, uncle."

She didn't call the team leader because she knew that the reason why he was so busy was not because of her status as the city's top student, but because of Zhao Yuanyi's face.

She counted out eight big unity notes and put them back on the table. "Uncle, this eighty yuan is for Yuanyi and I to support the poor children in the village."
