With only five days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, most people around have already prepared mooncakes.
Therefore, the number of customers is gradually decreasing.
It's only at this point that everyone can relax a bit.
It was only at this time that Lin Wen, the eldest daughter, had time to come to the specialty store to check things out.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I wasn't usually that busy, but the factory said that since I can write articles for the food factory, how can I not write articles for the machinery factory?"
Lin Wen's expression turned somewhat grim as he recalled the memory.
"That Sister Hu, she also said that I have to submit my article about the machinery factory."
They practically said it outright: if her article about the machinery factory was rejected and published, she would be considered a traitor.
Lin Yu frowned: "Does this Sister Hu always bully you?"
Lin Wen shook his head: "No, not really. She just says hurtful things, and sometimes I talk back to her, blah blah blah."
She explained the origin of the name Hu Lanxin.
Lin Yu understood immediately: he was someone with connections, but lacked ability and had a sharp tongue.
Because Lin Wen was considered one of the factory manager's men, he wasn't bullied by her much.
He just wouldn't let it go, insisting that Lin Wen wrote the article for the food factory and that they shouldn't be favored over each other.
Lin Wen was indeed in the wrong. As a member of the publicity department, she was naturally entitled to write articles for her own factory.
But what she published in the newspaper was an article about a food factory.
If we delve deeper into this, it's actually detrimental to her.
However, those in the factory who were familiar with Lin Wen naturally sided with her and didn't think it was a big deal, so no one said anything.
As a result, Hu Lanxin seized upon this weakness.
"So you wrote an article?"
While tidying up the shelves, Lin Wen said, "Yes, I wrote one and have already submitted it."
"As for whether it will be approved, I don't know."
In fact, she didn't understand why her paper about the food factory was approved; she didn't think it was very well written.
Lin Yu felt that her sister always lacked self-confidence.
"You wrote very well. Second brother said that everyone in the family praised you after reading it. Second brother, don't you think so?"
Lin Yuan, who was unloading goods nearby, said: "Yes, Erniu even took the newspaper to read. The aunties and uncles all praised you for writing well and being cultured."
Lin Wen smiled shyly: "As long as everyone is happy."
The theme of her article was food factory workers, showcasing their spirit and character.
It's very gratifying that the article has been approved by them.
Lin Yuan also encouraged her to write more: "There's a lot to write about in our factory, like mushrooms and canned goods."
Lin Yuan understood the effect of "advertising" after seeing many people travel long distances to buy mooncakes after reading the newspaper.
He felt that this was something he could continue to do, and once the mooncake season was over, he would have to sell other things too.
Lin Yu felt that Da Niu was no longer suitable to do this: "You're using the name of the machinery factory, so it's not appropriate for you to write articles for us anymore. I'll think of another way."
Several of the educated youth were quite good writers; you could ask them to write for you.
Lin Wen disagreed: "I just want to do my part for our food factory."
Seeing how seriously and diligently everyone was working for the food factory, Lin Wen didn't want to be left behind.
Without the food factory, there would be no Lianhua Brigade as we know it today.
Everyone in the brigade will contribute their share to him.
Lin Yuan comforted him, "The article you wrote has already been a great help, and you always come to help out whenever you have time, don't you?"
"Work at the machine factory is important; you can't neglect your duties, or you'll lose your job."
You can find someone else to write the article, but Lin Wen worked hard to get this job in the publicity department, and she can't let it be delayed because of the food factory article.
Lin Yuan slapped his forehead: "How come I didn't think of that? Big girl, your sister is right. You should just stick to working at the machine factory."
That's a propaganda officer, and in a big factory like the machinery plant, a job he can't afford to lose.
Lin Wen is now the most promising child in their family besides Lin Yu, so they can't afford to lose his job.
After being persuaded by his older siblings, Lin Wen abandoned his previous idea.
Lin Yu also encouraged her: "You should write more articles and submit them to the machinery factory. This will be very beneficial for your future."
If you have the ability, you should show it; you might get a better job opportunity.
Lin Wen's writing is so good, of course he should submit more articles to newspapers.
Let Sister Hu see that truly capable people can't be defeated by a few words.
Lin Wen agreed: "I will definitely continue writing."
She doesn't actually enjoy writing promotional articles; she prefers writing essays, poems, and novels.
But in this day and age, writing promotional materials is still the safest option.
Lin Wen dared not cross the line, fearing it would implicate his family.
One of the writers she knew was arrested for writing a novel.
This incident had a huge impact on her, and from then on she began to learn how to write official documents.
The article has been published and the response has been quite good.
Lin Wen then understood what the public liked to watch.
Therefore, she was confident that the article she wrote for the machinery factory would be approved.
She didn't really care what Sister Hu said.
But since her older brother and sister were so worried that she would be targeted, she obediently listened and only wrote articles for the machinery factory.
Lin Wen helped out at the shop all day and was about to go back to work at the machinery factory.
Lin Yu made a promise with her that she would go back to the brigade with them the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lin Yuan drove over, so it will be very convenient to go back together with him.
Xiaoju and the other three all missed their families, but they also remembered to stand firm at their posts until the very end.
In the last four days, the number of customers gradually decreased, and there were less than two boxes of mooncakes left in the warehouse.
The group cleaned up the shop, closed the door, and on the 14th, they went to the machinery factory to pick up Lin Wen and return to Lianhua Brigade together.
They were all young people, but Xiaoju and the other three were a little afraid of Lin Yu; they couldn't relax when she was around.
So she sat in the front passenger seat, letting Lin Wen and the other four chat in the back.
Lin Wen and the others had known each other since childhood, so the atmosphere between them was more relaxed.
The journey was filled with laughter and joy, and they soon arrived at the Lianhua Brigade.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan drive in, the entire group gathered together.
Soon, the four-person group from the provincial capital and Lin Wen's figure came into view.
The families of the four children all rushed over and hugged their own children.
Baogen's mother was the most exaggerated; she opened her mouth and wailed, "Baogen, my Baogen is back!"
Baogen's younger siblings also ran over and hugged his legs, calling him "Big Brother".
This made the simple-minded man a little embarrassed.
The situation was similar for Lin Zhuang, Xiao Ju, and Xiao Fang.
Seeing this, Lin Yu said, "Go back, everyone. You can rest for two days this time. Go home and have some quality time with yourselves."
Baogen's mother happily pulled him along, saying, "Come on, let's go home."
After everyone else left, only Lin Yu and his two siblings and the Lin family remained.
After Lin Yuan locked the car, the group went home together.
That evening, Lin Yu wrote a report on the sales situation during the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, intending to submit it to the commune.
