"Wife, someone is following us." Wei Baichuan and Su Ti had just left the brigade when they sensed someone was following them.

"It's Su Nianyou." Su Ti had already spotted her; she couldn't possibly have gone to another brigade with her.

She's not afraid of her ruining her work; she'll probably be too busy to take care of herself soon.

Li Hehua escaped from the cage, leaving all the affairs of the Wei family to Su Nianyou. She just wanted to see how long Su Nianyou, with her proud and arrogant attitude, could hold out.

Wei Baichuan didn't care what his wife said and turned to go to the next brigade, which was closer and only a 20-minute walk away.

Su Ti glanced at Su Nianyou behind him, who hadn't followed. There was only one road ahead; were they heading to the commune?

What did Suti think of? Was she planning to go to the disciplinary office?

Thinking this, she smiled. It was good that she went; no one in their brigade wanted to ask Wei Changgen.

If she wasn't mistaken, the people from the county's disciplinary office were brought there by her father. Even if Su Nianyou went, it would be useless; Wei Changgen wouldn't be able to get out.

After all, this wasn't a setup; it was a genuine coincidence that led to their capture.

She can only sever ties if she can actually bring back news. If she hadn't gone to the disciplinary office for fear of being exposed, this matter would have been resolved long ago, instead of her patiently waiting like this.

"Honey, the North Bridge Brigade is just ahead. This is the closest to our brigade." In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at their destination.

This brigade has a good relationship with their Yangliu brigade, and since it's recently been established, she'll choose this place to practice first.

"Hello, comrade, I'm here from the propaganda department to paint slogans. Is your brigade leader here?" Su Ti and Wei Baichuan walked around the brigade for a long time before finally finding someone.

Many people were already at work at this time, so she didn't find it strange that there was no one on the road.

"Yes, yes." The aunt holding the child smiled broadly when she saw people. Their brigade leader had mentioned it at a meeting a couple of days ago.

The higher-ups were going to send people to paint slogans for their brigade, and they arrived much sooner than expected.

"Comrades, welcome to our Beiqiao Brigade." The brigade leader arrived quickly after hearing the news and greeted Su Ti and Wei Baichuan with great enthusiasm.

"Good morning, Captain. I chose your Beiqiao Brigade first. I was a little nervous at first, but now that I've met you, I can finally relax."

Suti saw that they were very enthusiastic and their words were even more pleasant. She thought that it was good for her to be part of such an easy-going group.

If they're difficult to get along with, she'll definitely be even more domineering than them, so you need to keep a firm stance.

Any reasonable person in the brigade knows that she was sent by higher-ups and is afraid that if they don't treat her well, they will be held accountable by higher-ups.

It's useless to argue with someone who's unreasonable, no matter where they come from. Suti considered every possible scenario.

"Haha, everyone in our brigade is a good person. We're all happy to know that people from above have come to paint slogans."

The captain's mouth gaped open even wider when he heard Su Ti's words. Who doesn't love to hear nice things?

"Then, Captain, could you please take me to the brigade headquarters first?" After the polite greetings, Suti got down to business. The brigade's slogans were now all on the walls of the brigade headquarters.

Every day, the team members gather at the brigade headquarters, where everyone can see them.

"Alright, alright, comrades, come with me." The captain led Su Ti toward the brigade headquarters.

As for Wei Baichuan who followed behind, they all assumed he was there to help out.

He had a menacing look on his face, and people didn't know what to say when they wanted to greet him.

Suti glanced at the slogans on the wall, which were no longer legible, and a portrait of a leader, both of which were now blurred.

The skill level doesn't look very good either; the drawings are all distorted. But comparing them to this makes me more confident. At least it's better than this.

"Comrade, is there anything else we need to do?" The captain looked at the two of them; this wall was a huge project.

"No need, no one else can help with this." Suti saw that a lot of people had followed behind, probably because they didn't trust her.

Especially those few people whose clothes had very few patches and whose eyes exuded a bit of arrogance, she thought those people must also be educated youth sent to the countryside.

They come from all over the country, and even if they don't know it themselves, they have seen a lot. In their eyes, these slogans and paintings in the brigade are very old-fashioned.

When she first went to the countryside, she was amused by the mud paintings in the brigade. They were crooked and distorted, and they were probably waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now. Have you finished your work in the fields?" The team leader saw that Su Ti was getting ready to work and turned around to shoo everyone away.

This is a craft, and these days, who doesn't keep their skills to themselves?

Suti didn't mind them watching, but their chatter was too noisy, and those who looked down on him were really affecting his mood.

"Baichuan, can you hold this bench for me?" Suti said after quickly cleaning the wall once most people had left.

Compared to those crooked and messy characters, Suti had learned calligraphy; her maternal grandfather had beautiful handwriting.

She was far inferior, but she had the advantage of being neat and tidy, writing the slogans in a way that was relevant to the present day.

"We are not afraid of hardship or fatigue; young and old alike work together to build the production team."

The short sentence was simple and clear; the team members wouldn't understand if they had to use a tongue twister.

After writing the characters, Suti carefully traced the red ink over them; the paint was brought from the commune.

Compared to those dry, lifeless words, Suti added many flowers and plants to the surrounding area.

Adding to the image of a team member wearing a white headscarf and working hard, the picture becomes vivid and lifelike.

"Wife, it's so beautiful." Wei Baichuan looked at his wife's drawing stroke by stroke, and he didn't know how to describe it.

The calligraphy is beautiful, the painting is even more beautiful, not to mention the colors she uses. These simple colors of red, white and green seem to come alive in his wife's hands.

Sutich smiled and glanced at his watch; almost three hours had passed.

"Are you tired?" It was her first time drawing, and she was still getting used to it. She had lost track of time, but Wei Baichuan didn't say anything and just stayed with her quietly.

"I'm not tired, honey, are you? You've been holding your hand up the whole time." Wei Baichuan wanted to tell her to rest several times, but seeing her serious expression, he was afraid of disturbing her thoughts.

"You're making my hands a little sore," Su Ti said, shaking her hand. Wei Baichuan took her hand and gently squeezed it.

"You didn't have experience this time, but you'll be better next time." Wei Baichuan said, massaging her hands while looking at the painting. His wife was really amazing.

"This...this...this is so beautiful!" The captain had originally come to invite the two comrades to his house for lunch.

I almost didn't recognize their headquarters when I got here. In the end, I could only come up with the word "good-looking" after racking my brains.

"Captain, please don't flatter me. This is just average. There are many people in the propaganda department who are better than me." Su Ti showed no sign of pride or complacency.

The more humble she was, the more comfortable the people in the brigade would feel if they said anything when the propaganda department came down to inspect.

She learned this from her father: plan ahead and don't waste any opportunity.

It's just a matter of a few words. Not saying it wouldn't affect her, but if she says it, others will feel warm inside.
