Chapter 45 The heroine is about to appear

The accountant also nodded, "I agree. It's more convenient to hold the exam. We can just post the results on the bulletin board and let them see it for themselves."

After they finished talking, they looked at Zhou Jiefang again, "Brother, what do you think?"

Zhou Jiefang looked at them and said, "What can I say? I can't make a test paper. What's the point of looking at me? There's a test paper on my face."

The two of them withdrew their gazes and turned to look at Zhou Xian. They didn't know how to make the test papers, so this matter could only be left to Zhou Xian.

"I'll have the test out in a minute."

Since she was going to work in the commune, she naturally could no longer serve as the principal of the primary school, so the management of the primary school was handed over to the team leader.

Zhou Xian’s idea was that since the goal was to improve the relationship between the educated youth and the members of the commune, she suggested electing an educated youth to serve as the principal of the primary school.

The most important reason is naturally that the educated youth have a higher level of education.

After hearing this, the cadres felt a little uncomfortable, but they also knew that what Zhou Xian said was actually correct, but it still made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Xian knew their concerns and didn't say much, but just suggested that they think about it carefully.

Zhou Jiefang took a long time to speak, "We will consider it. This matter is not urgent for now."

Choosing a principal is different from choosing a teacher. At least he is someone who can take responsibility.

The news that there would be an exam to select the director of the Women's Federation was also announced. Everyone was stunned at first, but they quickly reacted.

The exam was scheduled for three days later. During these days, everyone went to the literacy class very diligently and even asked questions more actively than before.

After Zhou Xian finished the test paper, she handed it over to the brigade headquarters. Naturally, she didn't have to worry about the exam.

The results will be available on the spot and announced by the announcer at the radio station.

The new director of the Women's Federation is Qian Xique. Zhou Xian was not surprised to see this result. It was obvious that Qian Xique studied hard in the literacy class.

However, her mother-in-law Liu Chunhua was very happy and told everyone that her daughter-in-law was capable.

Some people were not convinced and brought up the incident in which she beat her daughter-in-law.

"I have already reformed myself," Liu Chunhua said with some guilt.

The others burst into laughter.

Although he has been elected, he does not have to take office for the time being. He will come only on the day Zhou Xian goes to work at the commune.

Zhou Xian didn't think so. She asked Qian Xique to take some time to come over and discuss work with her these days.

There were also some of her previous things that needed to be packed up and handed over to her.

Qian Xique listened carefully and took the things Zhou Xian gave her solemnly in her hands.

"Director Zhou, don't worry, I will do my best."

Zhou Xian also smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I went to the commune, you can still come to me if you have any difficulties."

Going to the Women's Federation of the commune did not mean that she could not manage the people in the team. On the contrary, she could manage anything related to the team and the Women's Federation under the entire Baihua Commune.

Qian Xique naturally understood, and nodded vigorously, "I understand."

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for Zhou Xian to report to the commune.

Ge Guifen got up early in the morning and started working. When others heard the noise, they also got up quickly.

For the sake of that defective cloth, the family was very active. Even the boys were taught by their mother to pick up the broom and start sweeping the floor, so that at least they could help share the housework.

After all, this was her daughter's first day going to the commune, so Ge ​​Guifen took it very seriously.

She ignored those people who were trying to please her, because she knew very well that they were not sincere and were only after the reward.

She used the Fuqiang flour that Zhou Xian bought and made a bowl of dumpling soup.

"They provide lunch there, right? Do you want to bring some egg cakes with you? If it's not enough, it can fill your stomach."

"No need to be so troublesome, there is a cafeteria over there."

Zhou Xian rejected his mother's suggestion and prepared to leave after eating.

She was riding her father's bicycle. The main use of this bicycle was for her father to ride it to go to meetings in the commune.

Now that Zhou Xian has to go to work in the commune, this car will naturally be used by her.

It was not the first time she came back to the commune, and the gatekeeper, Uncle Liu, was quite happy to see her.

"Comrade Zhou, come to work."

Zhou Xian responded crisply, "Yes, I'm here to work."

When Zhou Xian went to the office, except for Director Ji, the other two staff members were there.

"Xiao Zhou is here." Seeing her come in, Secretary Chen stood up and led her to the desk, saying, "I knew you were coming today, so I cleared your seat two days ago."

"Thank you, Secretary Chen." Now that we are colleagues at work, it is naturally inappropriate to call her aunt anymore.

"What's this? Take a look first. If you need anything, just tell me."

Secretary Li over there ignored them except for glancing at her when Zhou Xian came in. He was just fixing his hair in the mirror.

If she ignored him, Zhou Xian would not go looking for her.

The main reason is that I have only met him for a few years and I have no idea what his personality is like. It would be bad if there is any conflict.

However, when Director Ji came in, Secretary Li quickly put away his mirror.

When Director Ji saw Zhou Xian arrive, he gave her a few instructions and then sat down in his seat.

The Women's Federation of the commune had held a big event before, which really shocked quite a few people.

There is some effect, and many comrades did come to report the situation later.

But after a while, the Women's Federation became deserted again.

Zhou Xian sat there for quite a while, watching Secretary Li, who was sitting opposite her, playing with his fingers out of boredom.

Director Ji is writing something and Secretary Chen is organizing things.

Zhou Xian was flipping through the newspaper in his hand, wondering whether he should find something to do, when the system's voice suddenly rang out.

[Host, it is detected that the heroine is about to appear. 】

Although she would chat with the system when she was free, such a sudden broadcast still made Zhou Xian stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously looked at the people in the room.

Just when I was wondering, a voice came from behind me.

"Excuse me, is this the Women's Federation?"

As soon as the voice appeared, everyone in the room looked up.

A skinny girl was standing at the door. Her hair was dry and yellow. It had been tangled and she hadn’t washed it in who knows how long. The clothes also seemed to be ill-fitting. They were so oversized that she felt like she would be blown down by the wind. There were patches on her elbows and knees.

But the girl's gaze was determined. She stood at the door, looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on Director Ji.

Director Ji was also stunned when he saw a little girl standing at the door.

The people who came to her these days were all adults, and this was the first time a child came to her.

She quickly stood up and walked over, asking softly, "Little girl, you..."

Before she could finish her words, the little girl suddenly burst into tears, her tears streaming down her face, and then she fell directly towards Director Ji, scaring Director Ji to death.

Director Ji quickly stepped forward and helped the fallen girl up, preventing her from falling to the ground. Secretary Chen quickly walked over, and together with Director Ji, they lifted the girl up and put her on a bench.

"Kid, are you okay?"

Zhou Xian saw that something was wrong with the little girl, so he took out a few candies from his bag and handed them to her, "Are you hungry? Eat a piece of candy first to slow down your pace."

Director Ji didn't bother to say anything. He took a piece of candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth, "Child, eat one first."

Unexpectedly, the little girl reached out and gently pushed him away. She leaned in Secretary Chen's arms, tears streaming down her face again, and she cried harder and harder. It was obvious that she had suffered a great injustice. She was crying so hard that she wanted to speak, but she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Child, have you suffered any injustice?" Director Ji felt heartbroken when he saw her crying. My mind was thinking quickly to see if I could find anything related to the little girl, but it came up blank.

Although she was in charge of the Women's Federations of all the brigades under the commune, she did not do everything herself. Some things were also assigned to other people in the office.

She looked up at Secretary Chen and saw him shaking his head, obviously not knowing this little girl either.

It is very likely that this little girl is under the care of Director Li.

Director Ji looked up at Secretary Li and saw Li Lingling with a confused look on her face, as if she knew nothing. Since they hadn't figured out what exactly happened yet, Director Ji couldn't just make accusations, so he withdrew his gaze and wanted to ask the little girl what was going on.

"Child, eat it." Director Ji stuffed the candy into the little girl's mouth with some force, and told Secretary Chen to go to the cafeteria and get some food for the child. If that wasn't possible, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some.

Secretary Chen went out in a hurry.

Zhou Xian took out the handkerchief that her mother had put in her bag when she went out in the morning, and poured the water in the thermos on the cabinet next to her into the mandarin duck enamel basin next to it.

Zhou Xian understood that there was a thermos in the office, after all, everyone drank water in the morning, but she didn't quite understand why there was a basin here.

But it didn't matter. The basin in the office was not used for washing feet, so she poured the water into it boldly and wet the towel.

But Secretary Li sighed softly and opened his mouth to say something, but he glanced at Director Ji and swallowed his words back.

Zhou Xian wet his handkerchief in the basin, then used it to wipe the little girl's face.

Not only did he wipe her tears, he also cleaned her dirty face.

Director Ji looked at her approvingly.

After Zhou Xian wiped his face, he wiped the little girl's hands.

Yang Hongmei looked at Zhou Xian in a daze, and for a moment she even forgot to cry.

After Zhou Xian wiped her hands, she said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you."

"fine."

As he spoke, Zhou Xian took a pair of scissors and cut the child's long nails.

There's mud under these nails.

When she was wiping the little girl's hands just now, she noticed that although the child was young, her hands were very rough, and it was obvious that she had been working for many years.

Her two little nieces also work, but their hands are not as rough as hers.

When Yang Hongmei looked at Zhou Xian, a warm feeling instantly surged in her heart. She felt that this leader was very good and it seemed that she had made the right decision today.

After cutting her nails, Secretary Chen came back with two steamed buns in her hand and handed them to Yang Hongmei.

Yang Hongmei held a steamed bun in one hand and looked at the people around her, still a little flustered. The sweetness of the toffee melted in her mouth, a sweetness she had never tasted before.

Director Ji saw that she had calmed down, and then he spoke again, "Child, you came to us, is there something you want to say?"

Yang Hongmei then looked at Director Ji. She mustered up her courage and asked softly, "Are you the leader? Can you manage things?"

"Of course, I'm the leader of the Women's Federation. If you have any difficulties, just tell me." Director Ji said in a kind tone.

When she heard that it was the leader of the Women's Federation, Yang Hongmei was stunned. In fact, the person she was looking for was not the Women's Federation, but the secretary of the commune.

But when she asked at the door, she heard that she had a problem to report, so the doorman took a look at her and pointed her here.

She just came all the way here.

Yang Hongmei hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "Leader, can I ask you for a favor and be a witness for me?"

"What testimony?"

"I want to go to school. All the children of my uncle and third uncle are in school, but grandma said that the family has no money. That was the money that my uncle and third uncle paid for themselves, and they don't have the money to send me to school. Leader, can you be a witness? That money can be considered as a loan from my uncle and third uncle. When I grow up, I will definitely pay them back."

Director Ji looked at the child in front of him in surprise.

Before he could say anything, he heard Xiao Li say, "Where are your parents? Why don't you let them pay for your schooling?"

Yang Hongmei's eyes became red again, and she choked up and said, "My father is dead, and my mother... remarried."

The office was silent for a moment. Director Ji paused as he looked at Yang Hongmei and asked tentatively, "Child, what's your name?"

"My name is Yang Hongmei."

"Are you from Yanghua Brigade?"

Yang Hongmei nodded.

"Is your father's name Yang Liansheng?"

Seeing Yang Hongmei nodded again, Director Ji looked Yang Hongmei up and down again. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and his expression turned ugly.
