"Warmly welcome Ms. Shi and the educated youth Qiao back to their hometown!"
Once this banner is pulled out, the atmosphere is completely different.
Qiao Qingqing and Shi Meijun looked at each other in surprise, and then they were at a loss.
Until the team leader and Feng Xiumei took the lead to greet them.
Both of them had smiles on their faces and greeted each other warmly.
"Ms. Shi, long time no see! When we heard that you were coming back this time, we all rushed over to put together a banner, hehehe."
"Isn't that scary?"
As she spoke, Feng Xiumei's gaze moved down to her twin sisters.
"Oh my! Aren't these the fourth and fifth children? Both girls have grown so tall!"
Feng Xiumei squatted down and stretched out her hands to the two of them. Qiao Qingqing and Shi Meijun then let go of their hands with a smile, and the two sisters were pulled to Feng Xiumei.
Qiao Qingqing asked the two girls: "Look who this is? Do you recognize her?"
The twins are almost five years old. They have grown a lot taller, and their skin has become fairer as they don't get much sun in Kyoto.
Although they have been busy on the road these days, grandma and mom have taken special care of them and comb their hair carefully every day.
So now, apart from the fact that their clothes are a little wrinkled, the twins still look as delicate and pretty as little city girls.
So more and more people gathered around and chatted with them happily.
The female comrades gathered around Shi Meiyun and Qiao Qingqing. Considering that Qiao Nianqing's memory of these villagers was vague, they did not dare to let them lead them. They always stayed closely beside their mother, holding on to the corner of her clothes.
They talked as they walked.
"The day before yesterday, Lao Lu called the commune. When the people from the commune called me and said there was a call from Kyoto looking for me, I thought it was you, Qiao Zhiqing, who called! I didn't expect it to be Lao Lu!"
The captain excitedly recounted how he learned that the two men were coming back.
"Old Lu told me that he and his son had official business to attend to and couldn't come back, so he asked me to forgive them! Well, what's the big deal! They are leaders, so they must be busy. We can understand that!"
That being said, judging from the captain's expression, he was still very happy to receive this call.
After all, Lu Zhenfeng's action made him feel greatly valued and respected.
On the phone, Lu Zhenfeng only said that he asked his wife and daughter-in-law to bring some gifts back, but did not say what they were specifically.
Even so, the captain was still very happy. When he came back, he told his wife that he wanted to hold the whole ceremony to welcome them.
The main purpose was to welcome Qiao Qingqing, who had made so many contributions to the Hongsheng Brigade during the ten years she had stayed in the fishing village.
Today, every household can live a good life, and she has made some contribution to this.
In the year when the college entrance examination was resumed, the review materials provided by Qiao Qingqing helped several local college students to pass the exam, so everyone was very grateful.
The matter was quickly settled, and the captain didn't even need to hold a meeting. He thought that even if he welcomed them as family members, it would be fine.
Unexpectedly, the neighbors saw their family putting up banners and came to ask what was going on.
After this question, the news could no longer be concealed.
More and more villagers spontaneously joined the team making banners.
Eventually it evolved into the scene we see today.
"…Although Qiao Zhiqing is gone, we haven't forgotten her! Qiao Zhiqing came back on her own last year, quietly. If Xiumei hadn't seen her by accident, no one would have known about it! Qiao Zhiqing, you didn't do a very nice thing!"
The captain said in mock criticism.
Qiao Qingqing apologized uncomfortably: "Yes, I will reflect on my mistake and will definitely write to everyone in advance next time."
