Outside the window, there was the sound of people sweeping snow.
In the room on the third floor, there were several teacups placed on the radiator, with the lids of the teacups placed upside down on the rims of the cups, and on the lids were steamed buns that were not finished eating in the morning.
In the office of the director of the Jixi Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, several men and women in their fifties were reading manuscripts.
After Director Han finished his last comment with a beaming expression, the old man looked up at the people around him.
He first shook his shoulders and straightened the half-worn clothes on his body, then sighed with a hidden smile.
But there was a hint of deliberateness in the sound of this sigh.
The old lady sitting opposite him looked up at him with some dissatisfaction, her eyes containing three parts of disgust and seven parts of ridicule.
Director Han then shook his head and cursed.
"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? And you treat other units like chickens and dogs?"
"These young people at Hongqi Farm really don't know what they're talking about."
After hearing these two strange words from Old Han, the expressions of the old men and women became subtle.
really.
Director Han's next sentence completely changed its meaning.
"Sixty-four people from a farm participated in the essay contest, and only about forty won awards. How impetuous, so impetuous!"
An old man became completely dissatisfied.
"Old Han, you curse Hongqi Farm eight times a day. Aren't you tired of it?"
"Is there anyone who is so ostentatious as you?"
"We can't even tell whether you're scolding or praising me. My ears are almost callused!"
The other old lady also sneered.
"Do you think he's willing to criticize his Red Flag Farm? This is a classic case of using a veiled criticism to criticize others. In reality, it's criticizing the educated youth in other units of our system as nothing more than trash."
Director Han frowned.
"Comrade Fengqin, you're an old comrade too, why do you speak so idealistically?"
"Which word of mine has the meaning you say? When we talk, ahem, we need to be united."
The last old man who looked up put down the brush in his hand, glanced at Han Changchu with a sneer, and then looked at the honor list he had just written with deep emotion.
"Let him be proud of himself. If no one else wants to recommend anyone, my list will be finalized."
"Han Duzui was really lucky this time. Over forty people from his Red Flag Farm alone made it into the top 100, and the only two first prize winners also came from this farm."
Han Changchu stopped pretending and walked around behind the old man with a smile and squinted his eyes. He first praised his handwriting and then admired the list.
You have to appreciate it.
What was originally an activity in the bureau was changed to that in the department. What was once a decision made by him alone became a matter of discussion among five people. What was the result?
Still made myself so popular!!!
The number one unit won more awards than the next six units combined….
He turned his gaze to the list of award winners on the other side.
"Two first prize winners, both from Xiao Zhang's subordinates. Hmm, not bad."
"There are four second-place prizes, and Red Flag Farm only took three. Hey, how could they be so careless?"
"Let me see, there are ten third-place winners. One, two, three, four... only six. There's something wrong with Xiao Zhang's leadership."
"There are thirty fourth-place prizes. The fourth-place ratio is drastically low, only fifteen! That's ten percent lower than the third-place ratio."
"There are fifty fifth-place awards, and only eighteen people were selected. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
The old man in charge of writing the list had a completely dark face.
You've been so good!
Staring at the murderous eyes of the four old men and women, Han Changchu pretended to shake his head.
"I've already given this kid a death order to participate, and he actually dared to disobey?"
"Just wait and see how I deal with him in a few days!"
An old lady couldn't stand it anymore and simply slammed the table.
"Old Han, if you really don't like him, then just give him to me!"
Director Han chuckled and then frowned.
"No way!"
An old man who had been silent all this time smiled and sighed.
He actually didn't understand why all the good writers went to the same place?
Of course, it’s not that other people’s articles are not good enough, but they were shocked to find that many of the articles sent by the Red Flag Farm were very much to their liking.
I wrote it almost entirely by scratching my own itch.
It goes without saying that the articles were generally recognized as well-written, but everyone submitted a few of their favorites, only to find out that these articles all came from the same unit!
After the old man sighed, he actually followed Director Han's words.
"It's a shame. I've read Xiao Zhang's previous articles, and they're indeed quite impressive. It's a shame he was so arrogant this time. When faced with the princes' blockade, he sent forty-four Hua Xiongs to fight, leaving our entire system littered with corpses."
"Okay, let's announce the results!"
"By the way, post all the award-winning articles on the courtyard wall to prevent anyone from seeing the results and gossiping about us old folks."
......
On the day the notice was posted, Shi Fengshou got up early.
At about five o'clock, when it was still completely dark, he was already breathing and stamping his feet under the outer wall of the Farm Reclamation Bureau with a flashlight.
A lot of people paid attention to the notice, and Shi Fengshou was not the first to arrive.
Before half past six, hundreds of people had gathered at the entrance of the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau to see the list.
This is because before the results of the essay contest came out, all participating units were "fighting like crazy" under the stimulation of the radio station's report. Some units even used big killer weapons such as salary increases, housing allocations, promotions, and introductions to partners as rewards.
