"Women hold up half the sky! Study hard and make progress every day! Stand alone in the cold autumn, the Xiangjiang River flows north, at the head of Orange Island! Learn from Comrade Lei Feng! ... The military and the people are united as one, who in the world can defeat us! We must despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically!" Zhang Qiurui spoke one sentence after another, and spoke longer than the previous few people who came on stage.
"That's a lot of quotes, right? Have you counted how many quotes Qiu Rui has said?"
"There are already 60 or 70 of them! Are they still going on?"
"Qiu Rui just graduated from elementary school this year. He seems to be a good student."
"Yes, this child will definitely have a bright future."
The people in the audience were talking about it, and were both surprised and impressed by Zhang Qiurui's performance.
"This child follows me, follows me." Zhang Ercheng was so proud to see his little girl making him proud in the brigade that his mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear, his eyes became crescent shapes, and he kept looking at the stage, full of pride and pride.
"You are so honest that you can't even fart when hit with a stick? That's just like me." Zhou Guihua patted her old man and said with a smile.
Zhang Qiurui said about ninety points in a row and then stopped. According to the current situation, he would definitely be able to represent the team in this literary struggle.
"Do you know any more? Ninety-six, not bad!" Zhang Qiushi saw Zhang Qiurui stop and knew that she had said everything she knew. He looked at Zhang Qiurui in surprise.
He had never heard that this girl could read in the past, but he didn't expect her to make such a big splash today and recite more than ninety quotations.
"Okay, very good. Qiurui, please wait next to me. Is there anyone else who wants to come up and try?" Xu Qunyi nodded with satisfaction and swept his eyes across the stage, as if looking for the next team member who was brave enough to take the challenge.
With Zhang Qiurui as a role model, he hoped that another team member who could recite so many quotations would emerge. That would mean that in the literary battle with the Zhucun Production Team, it was still uncertain who would win.
"I'll do it!" Zhang Mingqi raised her hand nervously, and then walked towards the stage. Seeing so many people in the production team looking at her, Zhang Mingqi became a little nervous and her heart beat fast.
"Serve the people! A single spark can start a prairie fire..." As soon as she came on stage, Zhang Mingqi began her recitation. Although her voice trembled slightly, every quotation was clear and powerful. Her speaking speed gradually increased, and the connection between sentences became more and more fluent.
"Uncle Qiushi, I have memorized so many quotations, I can't recite the rest." After Zhang Mingqi finished reciting, she turned to look at Zhang Qiushi, her eyes flashing with anticipation and uneasiness.
Zhang Qiushi counted carefully and replied with a smile, "Very good, Mingqi, you have memorized 102, more than your aunt."
When Zhang Mingqi heard this, a blush appeared on her face, which was the joy of having her efforts recognized.
"Uncle Ercheng, your family has two talented students. Qiurui and Mingqi will represent our team in the competition. If they win, I will credit your family with a credit.
Is there anyone willing to try now?" Xu Qunyi's voice sounded again, and he looked around.
But at this moment, most of the people in the audience looked embarrassed, some lowered their heads in thought, some looked at each other, and no one dared to go on stage easily.
After all, there were Zhang Qiurui's 96 points and Zhang Mingqi's 102 points. Such results are shocking enough. Those who are ignorant naturally dare not go up and humiliate themselves, so as not to be laughed at.
Zhang Ercheng, Zhou Guihua and other members of the Zhang family were proud to see that their Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Mingqi had brought them honor. When others looked at them, they puffed out their chests and looked very proud.
In addition to confirming the places for Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Mingqi in the competition, the team leader Xu Qunyi also recited more than 80 quotations, and the last place was won by the team leader Xu Qunyi.
"Qiu Rui and Ming Qi, come to the brigade cafeteria tomorrow morning. After breakfast, we'll go to the reservoir to compete with Captain Zhucun.
Sleep well tonight and perform as usual tomorrow." After deciding who would represent their production team in the competition, Xu Qunyi instructed Zhang Qiurui and her nephew before leaving.
When we arrived at the brigade canteen the next day, we ate white flour buns, white porridge and pickles, all without limit.
Zhang Qiurui and her nephew Zhang Mingqi ate three white flour buns and two bowls of porridge. This was the first time Zhang Qiurui had eaten her fill since traveling through time.
"If we win the competition with Zhucun Production Team today, I will ask the canteen to fry meat for you at noon. If we don't win, you can go back home and eat." Xu Qunyi was very happy to see that Zhang Qiurui and her niece were eating happily. Knowing that they must be in good shape, he half-jokingly and half-seriously promised them such a "reward".
Zhang Qiurui's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked up at Xu Qunyi and said, "Uncle Xu, don't worry. My aunt and I will do our best, if for no other reason than to have meat for lunch. Uncle Xu, I can't even remember when I last ate meat."
There was a hint of playfulness in her words, but they also revealed an unquestionable determination.
Zhang Mingqi nodded vigorously, her eyes gleaming with anticipation and excitement. "Yes, my aunt is right! Let the Zhucun Production Team see our strength!"
Her voice is clear and pleasant, full of youthful vitality and fighting spirit.
After the meal, in addition to Xu Qunyi, Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Mingqi, the production team also brought along a dozen young laborers.
Once they won the competition with the Zhucun Production Team, a dozen young laborers had to immediately open the sluice gates, release the water, and block the Zhucun Production Team's canal at the same time.
A group of people came to the reservoir in a mighty procession. Not only Secretary Li came, but also more than a dozen people from the Zhucun Production Team.
In addition, there are two long tables and benches next to the reservoir, and there are paper and pens on the long tables.
“Everyone is here, how come I know more than you?
In order to facilitate the counting of the quotations memorized by both parties, this competition adopts the method of dictation. The two production teams that dictate the most quotations will win the literary competition and be the first to be given a day off.
If there are typos in the dictation, then that dictation will not count. The competition time is only one stick of incense.
Such rules not only test everyone's familiarity with quotations, but also test everyone's writing skills, ensuring the fairness and rigor of the competition.
"Please take your places, everyone from your two production teams. If there are no questions, the competition will begin now." Secretary Li pointed to the two long tables facing each other, signaling the participants from the two production teams to take their places.
Neither Xu Qunyi nor Zhu Fucai had expected that this literary competition would involve copying quotations from memory. They had previously thought it was just memorization.
Being able to recite and being able to write from memory are two different things, because you must be able to read and write from memory. If you can't read, just memorizing is useless. If you make a mistake in writing or your handwriting is illegible, you will also be judged as failing.
Xu Qunyi secretly regretted that although he was diligent in reciting the quotations on weekdays, his vocabulary was limited. If he wanted to write down the quotations accurately, he was afraid that he could not write many sentences.
Now Xu Qunyi places his hopes of winning on Zhang Qiurui and his niece.
