Shiyue pulled Sun Yongfu aside and asked him many more questions until Ye Puan came out of the house and said to them, "Lixuan asked me to go back and get some tea leaves."
Then he winked at Shiyue.
Sun Yongfu did not see their subtle interaction.
Hearing this, he nodded happily and said, "Go ahead, go ahead, take more. There's more than just the secretary coming today, we have to treat them all well."
The educated youth from the city were more generous; they had some good stuff with them.
For example, his home is so poor that even if he wanted to entertain a leader, he wouldn't have anything presentable to offer.
Knowing that the room had been tidied up, Shiyue was finally relieved.
She accompanied Sun Yongfu into the courtyard.
To be fair, Yu Chuxia is quite reliable when it comes to tidying up the house.
In just a short while, she had tidied up the courtyard and made it neat and tidy.
The ground has been swept, the farm tools that were scattered and messy have been put back in their places, and even the fallen woodpile has been rebuilt.
Not only that, but the rabbit skins that Gang Shiyue and the others didn't have time to pack up when they left are also nowhere to be found.
Not only could you not see or smell any food in the yard, but you also couldn't smell anything.
In addition, in early summer, they moved all the tables and benches from the kitchen to the yard, and also brought out the small stools that were originally in Chuxia's room.
The main purpose is to prevent these people from having any reason to go inside the house, let alone have any chance to rummage around.
On the table, there was now a stack of freshly washed rice bowls.
Moreover, looking through the window, there was a large pot of water boiling on the stove, which would probably be boiling just as the group of people arrived.
"Yes, yes, the house is very tidy." Sun Yongfu looked around and expressed his satisfaction.
He glanced at the two rooms side by side facing the door and asked, "Shiyue, which room are you staying in now?"
The meaning is obvious: it's to prevent leaders from coming inside the house for a visit.
"That one, the one with the unlocked door," Shiyue said confidently, pointing to her bedroom.
There was nothing in her room that she didn't want to show to others; anything she did have long since been put into that little room.
"Well, so the other room belongs to Yu Zhiqing?" Sun Yongfu asked again.
Shiyue's heart skipped a beat, but she still nodded.
Just then, He Lixuan came out of Chuxia's house.
He nodded to Sun Yongfu and then explained, "I tidied up for Chuxia. The little girl can't even tidy up a room."
The tone of his voice was disdainful.
Everyone in the team knew about his relationship with Yu Chuxia, so it was perfectly reasonable for the cousin to help his cousin tidy up the house.
Shiyue glanced at the military overcoat draped over his arm, and a weight lifted from her heart.
She knew that this person had probably already finished the cleanup work.
Shiyue glanced at her own little house, which was half collapsed, without making a sound.
Sure enough, she saw the same lock that Chu Xia's room used to have on the door, so she nodded slightly to He Lixuan.
Secretary Zheng and his team arrived about twenty minutes later.
Accompanied by Sun Yongfu and deputy captain Xu Mantian, who rushed over, they arrived at Shiyue's home with the crowd beating drums and gongs.
Behind them followed the brigade members who had enjoyed the spectacle all day.
Secretary Zheng shook hands warmly with Shiyue, who was waiting at the door, and then visited her home.
Afterwards, we reminisced about the bitter past and sweet memories together, recalling many things from the past.
Secretary Zheng had also done underground work when he was young, so he could particularly empathize with the contributions and risks that Shiyue's parents had made.
He immediately told Shiyue that he must tell the commune if he encountered any difficulties in the future!
If anyone needs help, he will do his best to help Shiyue within his capabilities!
Before Shiyue could react to these words, Sun Yongfu, who was standing next to her, was already terrified and kept giving Shiyue meaningful glances.
He looked like he was afraid she would tell on him.
Shi Yue continued to chat and laugh with Secretary Zheng, pretending not to see him at all and not engaging in conversation at all.
Sun Yongfu's face immediately turned as ugly as could be.
He glanced at Liu Sannu and Wang Feng, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were huddled in the crowd and still dared to watch the commotion. His eyes were like knives!
Shiyue didn't actually intend to complain in this situation.
Firstly, it was a joyous occasion that Secretary Zheng came to present an award to her family today, and the commune's propaganda officer also came along.
Although it wasn't Xiang Chengshan who came this time, the man was wearing glasses and had a pen and paper in his hand, writing diligently. Judging from his appearance, it was clear that he was going to write a promotional article as soon as he got back.
If she were to bring up something that would spoil the mood at this point, Secretary Zheng might support her, but he might also just laugh it off and brush it off.
But no matter which one, it will inevitably feel disappointing.
Therefore, filing a complaint at this time would be unwise.
Besides, when can't I file a complaint? At worst, I can just go to the commune myself.
What's already happened can't be covered up anymore.
As long as we find an opportunity, we will definitely win!
Another point is that Shiyue also has to consider Sun Yongfu's feelings and can't be too disrespectful to him.
There's someone hiding in my own house, and I still need his help.
Secretary Zheng watched as the staff he brought nailed a plaque that read "Advanced Individual in Supporting the Army and Loving the Country" to the eaves of the main house of Shiyue's family.
Then he gave a speech to the crowd gathered at the entrance.
The speech mainly focused on the exemplary deeds of Shiyue's parents.
They then specifically explained that the reason their family ultimately chose to settle in the Qianjin Brigade was on the advice of the top leaders.
