Could it be that it was really for herself? Huang Yuelan pondered in her heart.

"Yuelan is here, please come inside and sit down." Fan Ming took out a chair for Huang Yuelan to sit on.

"Thank you, Captain." Huang Yuelan took the chair and sat down, hugging her two sons on both sides, fearing that they would run around and damage public property.

"The captain asked me to come here, but is there anything wrong?" Huang Yuelan asked.

The team leader pointed to the brand new enamel basin and said, "Nothing else. Do you see these? These are rewards given to you by the commune. The president asked me to tell you that you have high consciousness, good character, and are smart. He especially praised you for discovering the hidden spring and solving the water supply problem of the production team and even the entire commune."

"This is not all my credit. I just found a little water. It was thanks to the team leader who led us to dig it out. It's mainly the team leader's credit." Huang Yuelan said modestly.

The captain thought that Yuelan was a really great girl. Whenever others made a small contribution, she would brag about it and act as if she was so great that the whole team could not contain her.

But Yuelan is still very humble and feels that what she has done is insignificant, which is very rare.

"Yuelan, don't be so modest. You deserve these. Besides, these stationery items are given to the children by the president. They are his personal gift." Captain Fan said.

Huang Yuelan saw that the basin was full of things. The basin was so big that there was no empty space.

Aunt Liu only saw a basin and a towel just now, but she didn’t expect there were so many things.

"I'm just about to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy notebooks for the children. I'm so grateful to the president. I hope the team leader can help convey our gratitude." Huang Yuelan didn't expect the president to be so thoughtful that he even took the children at home into consideration.

But then I thought, how did the president know that their family had many children? It must have been the team leader who told me, so I still have to thank the team leader.

"Don't worry, I will convey your gratitude to you. You can take these things back and use them. Don't lose this envelope. It contains bonuses and tickets, which are more valuable than these things." The captain took out the envelope and handed it to Huang Yuelan, fearing that she would lose it again without paying attention.

Huang Yuelan: "Thank you so much, Captain. It's because of you that we applied for so many benefits."

If the team leader had not told the president, I believe the president would not have noticed Huang Yuelan, let alone cared about their children. Therefore, the team leader is a real person who has helped their family a lot in normal times, and this time he was the icing on the cake.

"Don't be so polite. If all the villagers in our No. 1 Production Brigade were like you, I would be willing to drink cold water every day. Our brigade will definitely be the advanced brigade every time. In addition, here are three yuan. It's a reward from our brigade. Take it too." Fan Ming took out three yuan from his trouser pocket.

Don’t underestimate three dollars. At this time, you would rather break a dime into eight parts, so three dollars is a lot of money.

After all, one dollar can buy two pounds of pork, and three dollars can buy a large basket of things.

"Captain, how can we take this? This is your own money, right? Our Jianguo sends money home every month. You don't have to give us anything." Huang Yuelan thought that the captain's family was not doing well, so if it was money he paid personally, she would not accept it.

Fan Ming couldn't help but think: Others would scramble for it even for one dollar, let alone three dollars.

"It's okay, just take it. This is the production team's money. Besides, there will be many areas in our team that need your help in the future." The team leader dispelled Huang Yuelan's concerns and let her take the money with confidence.

Knowing that it was public funds and not paid out of the captain's own pocket, Huang Yuelan took it with confidence.

Fortunately, I brought my two sons with me, so there are still a lot of things.

The two sons were asked to carry their own notebooks, stationery, pencils, etc., while Huang Yuelan carried the enamel basin, towel and jar herself.

As soon as she walked out of the brigade headquarters, many villagers gathered around, and everyone came to see the reward Huang Yuelan received.

Who wouldn't envy such a glorious thing? Not to mention giving so many things, even a piece of cloth would be considered great by the villagers.

"Yuelan, is this a reward from the captain?"

"Yes, but to be exact, it was a reward from the commune, and the team leader brought it back for me." Huang Yuelan replied.

The villagers immediately opened the basin and took a look. "Oh my, there are so many things here! There are even words printed on it! What do they say?"

Wash basins are also sold in ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives, but they usually have "Da Xi Zi" written on them and are the red basins that are bought specifically for weddings.

But Huang Yuelan's is obviously not the common Si Xi.

Someone who could read immediately told everyone: "It says [Model Worker of the Commune] on it. This is specially to commend our Yuelan!"

"This is really honorable, Yuelan, you will definitely not want to use this washbasin after you take it home. Such a representative washbasin should be treated as a family heirloom, right?" asked one of the ladies.

Huang Yuelan smiled. The children’s father, Wang Jianguo, had received a washbasin before, but he gave it to his newborn baby and did not treat it as a family heirloom.

Other people's heirlooms are jade pendants, swords and so on. Isn't it a bit vulgar to use a washbasin as an heirloom?

However, this spirit can be passed on, so that children can actively contribute, realize their own value and gain honor.

"It's just a washbasin, nothing special." Huang Yuelan said with a smile.

An auntie said, "You are too modest. It's just a wash basin. We don't even have a urine pot. If it were me, I would definitely keep it and put it in the most conspicuous place, and no one would be allowed to touch it."

Everyone around burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Hey, kid, there are some more here, notebooks, pens and so on."

"I don't know when our president became so generous. I've never seen him reward anyone with so many things before."

The president had rewarded outstanding members before, but at most he gave a washbasin, a thermos or something like that. For Huang Yuelan, giving her so many things at once was really the first time for a young lady to get married.

"Don't you think about how much contribution Yuelan has made this time? Can the advanced members before her compare with her? They just did their job well, but Yuelan saved the lives of all the people in our commune!"

Everyone thought it made sense. Although they were envious, no one was jealous because the other person got it through his own ability.

Being lucky is also a skill, otherwise she would have given birth to triplets instead of others, her husband would have been an officer instead of others, and she would have discovered the secret spring while others could not.
