In the evening, when Qiao Qingqing got home, Li Xiuhua came to return her car and report on her work.
"We have notified all the educated youths under our command. Everyone will arrive at the educated youths office on time tomorrow to attend the celebration party."
Qiao Qingqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Xiuhua. We will go over early tomorrow morning to make arrangements. I have also prepared the prizes. I would like to ask you to announce the list of winners then."
The people on the list are all those who performed outstandingly in this year's spring plowing - not that they got full work points. So far, among the educated youth who went to the countryside, only Qiao Qingqing has got full work points, and that was full work points at the male comrade level.
For other educated youth, male educated youth could only get a maximum of seven work points (full work points are ten points), and some could get as few as four or five work points. Female educated youth could get a maximum of five work points (full work points are eight points), and some could get as few as three work points.
When Qiao Qingqing evaluated the educated youth, she looked at two factors, one was the number of work points they had achieved, and the other was how much progress they had made.
For example, those who earn the most work points this spring can be evaluated for excellence; those who have made the greatest progress can also be evaluated for excellence.
There are 3 places in total. Choose three from the highest to the lowest work points, and choose three from the greatest to the smallest progress.
The prizes were also paid for by Qiao Qingqing herself. Two kilograms of shrimp, two sea fish, and eight swimming crabs were a prize; one kilogram of pork and three kilograms of vegetables were a prize; and two kilograms of rice were a prize.
There are three types of prizes, two of each are prepared.
Those with the highest work points and the greatest progress will get the seafood set meal, and the rest will be pushed back.
…
On the next day, Qiao Qingqing borrowed an ox cart from the village, loaded with prizes and brought along her children, as well as Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang, who were there to help with the on-site decoration, Zhao Yong, Xu Yusheng, Wang Zhiyu, Sun Shan, and Lin Shengcheng, a large group of people came to the Youth League Office in a mighty procession.
Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang were responsible for holding one child each. Qiao Qingqing also tied Lu Xiaoqing in her arms with a cloth belt. She held her son's butt with one hand and directed Xu Yusheng and other male educated youth to set up the scene with the other hand.
When more educated youth came, Qiao Qingqing asked them to steam the sweet potatoes they brought in the big pot run by the educated youth organization and have them as breakfast.
The educated youth didn't expect that they would have free breakfast after arriving. Although it was just a few sweet potatoes, who wouldn't like free food?
After doing this time and again, the educated youth were extremely satisfied and supportive of Director Qiao, who had just taken office that year!
Li Xiuhua is a clear-headed person. She always shows up at such times and tells everyone that these things were purchased by Director Qiao with his own money.
From then on, anyone who met Qiao Qingqing would greet her warmly and respectfully with "Hello, Director Qiao".
At nine o'clock, regardless of whether everyone was there or not, Qiao Qingqing went on stage.
Lu Xiaoqing had been untied and was being held by his more familiar godmother Xiaoman. As for Lu Xiaoqiao, who was previously held by godmother Xiaoman, he was now with a group of godfathers.
When the three brothers were one month old, these godfathers gave them generous gifts. Although they seldom visited them at home due to their social style, the godfather relationship did not diminish at all.
So Lu Xiaoqiao soon got into a fight with the godfathers. Specifically, she poked Zhao's nose, pinched Xu's ears, grabbed Wang's hair, dug Lin's mouth, and poked Sun's eyes...
Finally, Lu Xiaoqiao, with her own efforts, succeeded in making a group of godfathers fear marriage and having children from then on, and feel lucky that she is still single.
After all, if all children were like Lu Xiaoqiao, being single might not be a bad thing.
