In December 1973, the county held a report meeting on key work.

Leaders of all communes and production teams under the communes came to attend the meeting.

Each report was vivid and colorful, and it really showed that the bolder the people, the more productive the land.

Only Xiangyang Commune was unusual this year, with no boasting and only real reports.

They understood one thing from Yu Weimin: everything else is empty, and the only real thing is that the people are well fed.

They don't fight for this advanced thing.

They want real change.

After the meeting, seven more petitions appeared on the desk of County Mayor Pan Yongming.

They were all from Xiangyang Commune, from the Second Production Team all the way up to the Eighth Production Team, each writing a letter.

The content is roughly the same.

They hoped that Yu Weimin, the village chief of the first production team, would come to lead their several production teams.

County Magistrate Pan asked, "What do you think about this?"

Xiao Gang, director of the CPPCC, said: "Isn't this breaking the rules? They are originally at the same level, how can they lead?"

Standing Committee member Yang Jijun said: "I have a general understanding. Under the leadership of Yu Weimin, the First Production Team has made great progress this year."

"Not only did he help the villagers develop terraced fields and ensure they had enough food, he also brought in tillers and pesticides, brought in electrical wires, and opened an oil press."

Secretary Zhou Xuefeng said, "Not only that, you've forgotten that all the relocated households in our county are actually there. This has also helped alleviate a lot of pressure on the county."

County Magistrate Pan nodded and said earnestly, "This is what everyone wants! Let's discuss this and see if there's a suitable solution."

Secretary Zhou said, "It seems that after the New Year, it's time to shake up the leadership team. Only by employing more useful people can our county be revitalized."

…

In the spring of 1973, each production team received a notice to start the election for women's director.

There were many outstanding people among the relocated households, but due to their social status, they were unable to run for election.

Then only the villagers are left.

Because Yu You always participated in major events in the village, he naturally became the most suitable candidate for recommendation.

On the same day, another transfer order came from the county.

Ma Weirong, director of Xiangyang Commune, was promoted to the county, and Yu Weimin was promoted to commune director as an exception.

Yu You: "Dad, how did you become the director of the commune? Isn't the village chief a lifelong position?"

Yu Weimin: "Who knows? Aren't you the director of the Women's Department?"

Yu You...

Women's Director...

She thinks she will always be a girl!

The rest of the production team cheered when they heard the news.

Yu Weimin finally became their leader!

There are only people from the first production team, and no one knows who is suitable to be the village chief, so he can only be left idle for the time being.

On the day Yu Weimin took office, Qin Zhiheng gave his father-in-law a bicycle.

From then on, Yu Weimin embarked on a fulfilling life of riding a hot wheel and having no rest all year round.

Yu Weimin had never thought of becoming a leader, but since he was already the head of the commune, he naturally had to do his job well.

What is the most important task in this era? Poverty alleviation!

The first group meeting was held soon after.

There were only three participants in the meeting: Yu Weimin, deputy director of the commune Feng Bin, and commune secretary Yang Zeshan.

Yang Zeshan... your two children and your in-laws are all together, so what does anyone else have to do with it? Why do I feel a little redundant?

But he soon changed his mind.

Yu Weimin: "Director Feng, how many people are there in our commune? How many people are there in each production team?"

Feng Bin...

"We need to check the reported documents."

Yu Weimin: "Secretary Yang, among these people, how many men earn ten work points and women seven work points?"

Yang Zeshan...

You really don't discriminate!

Yu Weimin: "How much collective farmland does each production team have? How many needy families need care? We'll sort out this data today. Let's pick a relatively poor production team and visit it tomorrow."

Feng Bin...

Yang Zeshan...

Suddenly, there was a premonition that their peaceful days were gone forever.

Qin family.

Qin Zhiya was wearing a red dress and looking at the marriage certificate in her hand, she still felt a little unreal.

She didn't know why she nodded inexplicably after Xi Feng confessed his love. And just like that, the marriage was settled.

The Qin family was very sincere and painted the entire Xi Fengfen family building and replaced all the furniture with new ones.

In the end, he gave Qin Zhiya a thousand yuan and various tickets, and asked the couple to buy whatever they needed.

Today is their wedding day.

The family got up early and started working.

The table was filled with melon seeds and candies, and big red wedding characters were pasted on the windows, walls and doors.

In particular, Xi Feng got a basket of apples from somewhere. Not only did it look good on the table, but it also filled the house with a sweet fragrance.

Qin Zhiya said to Qin Zhichu, "Sister, is it really okay to get married?"

Qin Zhichu noticed his sister's uneasiness and said, "It's good to meet a good person. I can see how much Xi Feng cares about you."

"Look at the things in your room. Which one wasn't bought bit by bit for you when you were dating?"

"This pillow, bed sheet, mosquito net, small cabinet, and the vase on your table."

"Zhiya, whether a person is sincere or not can be seen from these things. Just ask yourself, if you missed this person, would you not feel any regret?"

Qin Zhiya: "Without this person around, it seems like something is missing."
