After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
Now that this person has come looking for her, there must be some explanation. Could it be that this good thing is really going to fall into her lap?
Hearing Su Ti's words, Chen Min smiled even more broadly; their propaganda department wasn't as good as she made it out to be.
No one wanted to do these kinds of publicity work, so they approached others. I really felt unworthy of those words.
"Comrade Su, I reported the matter I mentioned to you last time to my superiors, and they approved it. Here is the work certificate I issued for you."
Chen Min grinned and handed his work certificate to Su Ti. Fearing that the people in the brigade wouldn't believe him, he also brought people from the commune with him.
"It's really kind of you to make this trip. If it weren't for the fact that I can't easily take time off here, we should have arranged a time for me to come to the commune to find you."
"Why don't you come to my house for a visit? I'm very happy that the organization gave me an opportunity to serve the people, and I'm also very grateful to the Publicity Department for choosing me."
"I will certainly not let the organization down, and of course I also want to thank Comrade Chen for being my mentor."
Suti glanced at the certificate in his hand, which was stamped with an official seal and stated that Comrade Suti had been specially appointed as a temporary staff member of the Propaganda Department.
The monthly salary is six yuan, and other receipts will be subsidized according to the situation of the commune.
Suti didn't mind the low pay; frankly, she was just an unofficial employee, not even a temporary worker.
She was happy that she could now legitimately not work, and she didn't even consider how long she could keep the job.
She didn't plan to work there forever, so being given a job before the autumn harvest solved a lot of her problems.
"Comrade Su, you're too kind. I have to catch the bus back to the county town soon, so I won't come to your house. This is just a way of helping each other out."
"I brought you some newspapers. Just draw the slogans in the newspapers. As for which brigade to go to, the commune will arrange it."
Chen Min felt that Comrade Su was very good at speaking; every word he said resonated with him.
With her excellent speaking skills, she'll definitely be able to do this job well.
They only need to come down and inspect regularly; they don't know anything about the different brigades.
“Okay, I’ll hand over the rest to the commune.” Su Ti looked confident, which reassured Chen Min even more.
Suti understood perfectly well that the county propaganda department just wanted to be a hands-off manager.
And those people from the commune followed behind without saying a word; it was obvious they were flattering these people from the propaganda department.
The higher the rank, the more powerful they are; even a dog from the county town has to be treated well.
Suti thought that by boarding this convenient ship, he would at least have a place in the commune, no matter what.
"Did I hear that right? Wei Lao Er's family got a job? What kind of department is the propaganda department? Is it big?"
"Haven't you heard he's from the county seat? All those slogans and paintings in the brigade were put up by him, and those mottos were written by him too. He's really something!"
"Yes, yes, there were pictures on the wall of the brigade headquarters, but they disappeared after the next rain. They were red and green, but they were quite pretty."
"Wei Lao Er, you've really struck it lucky. You've brought back a golden bowl."
The team members were in an uproar. This was a job in the county town, which was definitely more prestigious than the team leader's job.
There's even money to be made! This is fantastic news!
They don't have any workers in their brigade yet. There's a family in the next brigade who are temporary workers at the county boiler factory, and they've already built a brick house.
Now their brigade also has workers from the county town, and Su, the educated youth, has really brought honor to their brigade.
"That's because my wife is amazing. That's why they found her. Out of so many educated youth, they only chose her, which shows how outstanding she is."
Wei Baichuan agreed with their envious remarks.
His wife is just that outstanding; they're all right. He must have saved her life in his past life.
She will only come to his side in this lifetime, and she will never leave him.
Team members: "..."
Why are you getting all worked up over just because I said you're fat?
Chen Min came and went in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, only one commune member remained to do the handover work.
"Comrade Su, the job assigned by the Propaganda Department is to make propaganda slogans for various brigades."
“We usually report these problems about every two weeks when the various brigades come to the commune for a meeting.”
"Go to whichever brigade needs the slogans. These are the slogans from several brigades that have been damaged recently. See when it's convenient for you to go and get them repaired."
"There's not much else to do. The review work is all done by the propaganda department. They only come once every month or two, so it's an easy job."
The comrade from the commune handed Suti a notebook containing numerous slogans and information on which brigades had reported these problems.
"Comrade, I have another difficulty that I can't overcome and I need the organization's help. I'm confident in solving these work-related problems, but some of these brigades are very far from us."
“It’s nothing for me to work hard. It’s just that I’m an educated youth and I’m not familiar with many places here. I can’t distinguish between the different production brigades.”
Suti knew that there were more than a hundred production brigades under the commune, and these slogans had to be replaced every few days.
She goes there every two or three days out of 365 days a year.
Putting aside whether the work is tiring or not, just getting around is a big problem.
"Comrade Su, about this issue... your brigade headquarters should have bicycles, right? You can borrow one then."
The man hadn't thought of that, but what Suti said was indeed a big problem. If something happened to a woman who was constantly on the road, it would be terrible.
“Yes, Su Zhiqing, this is an honorable thing. You can use the bicycles in the brigade as you like. We don’t use them except when we go to meetings in the commune. They’ve been sitting there rusting.”
The brigade leader quickly expressed his opinion: if word got out, everyone would know that it was their brigade that went to paint propaganda slogans in various brigades, which would be such an honor!
They might even get a spot in the "Civilized Brigade" evaluation.
In recent years, each brigade has had soldiers, workers, and those who have skills to earn income.
Their brigade had nothing to offer, and Su, the educated youth, was doing this to bring honor to their brigade.
"Captain, but I can't ride a bike!" Suti looked at the captain with a troubled expression.
She said all this so that Wei Baichuan could have some rest time; he certainly wouldn't feel at ease if she went to an unfamiliar place.
"How about this, let Wei Lao Er take you. He'll drop you off in the morning and pick you up in the evening, but he'll have to come back to work after dropping you off."
"Let's calculate it by time. Wei Lao Er's work points for the time he spends on the road will still be counted, and our brigade headquarters will provide subsidies for it."
The brigade leader looked at the members of the brigade headquarters and they all nodded in agreement. According to Wei Lao Er's full work points, it would take up a whole morning to make the round trip.
You get about five work points a day as a subsidy, and even more during the autumn harvest.
However, compared to the glorious reputation of the advanced brigade and the civilized brigade, these work points are worth it!
If it weren't for Su Zhiqing, this matter definitely wouldn't have been in their brigade's hands. The group nodded in unison in agreement.
