Chapter 166: Promotion What do you want me to do?
After getting to know each other, Yu Zhile and the other two discovered that most of these people came from towns and villages in other counties. Some of them were women’s directors, and some were from local propaganda teams.
The reason why everyone chose to go to Haiyu Village for exchanges and learning was that the provincial newspaper published articles related to the village’s autumn harvest party for five consecutive days.
In the report, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao praised the excellent program arrangement of Haiyu Village in various ways, and the points of praise were very relevant to the publicity trend of the time.
"We will be in hibernation soon, and our propaganda team plans to use this time to popularize the importance of hygiene." Someone sighed, "The villagers are tired of watching the performance of copying others."
"Our literacy campaign is not going well, so we want to learn something new so that everyone can have fun and learn something at the same time." Another older sister agreed.
Others complained that publicity work was difficult.
Yu Zhile first classified the problems they encountered in his mind, and then put forward his own opinions and suggestions one by one.
"If anyone has other ideas, please share them and we can discuss them together," she said.
After listening to her, everyone started brainstorming, either adding to her proposal or coming up with other methods based on past experience.
The atmosphere of discussion on site gradually became heated, and everyone started taking notes more and more frequently.
After a hearty exchange meeting, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Comrade Yu, Comrade Zhang, today's exchange is really enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge." The older sister from the neighboring town smiled brightly. "The cherries in the village will start to ripen at the end of May next year. They will taste great. You are all welcome to come and exchange and learn."
Yu Zhile and the other two responded with a smile and shook hands with her respectively.
Afterwards, they said goodbye to everyone else one by one, and everyone extended invitations enthusiastically, and some even hoped that they could bring along their performers.
After finally seeing everyone off, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The next second, Zhang Wenxin's stomach made a loud gurgling sound.
Yu Zhile and Yu Chuyue also felt hungry and prepared to go home for dinner.
"Wait." Zhang Wenxin hurriedly stopped them, "Gather at Lele's house in the evening, and we will discuss the establishment of a propaganda team."
Yu Zhile and the other person had no objection to her decision. Considering the current workload of the three of them, setting up a publicity team to be responsible for this matter was an inevitable choice.
So, they all said in unison, “Okay.”
On the way home, Yu Zhile opened Du Sheng's reply letter. On the thin piece of paper was only one "good" handwriting in a flamboyant style, which made her laugh.
When he returned to the courtyard, his family had already gone inside for their lunch break. Only Zhou Yuesheng was sitting in front of the long table, frowning as he flipped through a book as thick as a brick.
Yu Zhile smiled wickedly, walked lightly behind him, then leaned forward and made a threatening expression.
"Ah." Zhou Yuesheng cooperated and made a surprised expression, but his tone did not fluctuate at all.
Yu Zhile curled his lips, rubbed his face twice and said, "Your acting is too poor. You should go to Director Qi for further study for a few days."
"Okay, I'll go find him when I get back to Beijing." Zhou Yuesheng replied with a smile and kissed her hand. "The porridge is still warming on the stove. I'll go get it for you."
Yu Zhile nodded, picked up the book, turned to the bookmarked page, and began to read with relish.
After a while, Zhou Yuesheng brought a large bowl of steaming seafood porridge and placed it in front of her.
The ingredients for cooking seafood porridge this time were all dry goods. Although it lacked some freshness and sweetness, it was still salty and fragrant, which satisfied Yu Zhile's hungry stomach to a great extent.
After eating half full, she started to talk more, chattering about trivial matters at work and the work arrangements for the fourth quarter.
Zhou Yuesheng always looked at her gently, listened to her patiently, and responded with a word or two from time to time.
"I'm not eating anymore." Yu Zhile suddenly put down the porcelain spoon and pushed the bowl forward. "I want to read a book."
Zhou Yuesheng handed her the book, finished the remaining porridge, washed the bowl in no time, and sat beside her to read with her.
For a moment, the yard was so quiet that the only sound was the turning of pages.
After more than ten minutes, Yu Zhile felt sleepy. He yawned repeatedly, closed the book and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuesheng picked her up by the waist.
"What are you doing?" Yu Zhile inevitably recalled some of the scenes that appeared in his dream last night, and his face began to turn red. "Put me down quickly."
Seeing this, Zhou Yuesheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Yu Zhile didn't respond and simply buried her face in his chest, but she couldn't hide her red ears.
Zhou Yuesheng chuckled twice and did not continue teasing her. He just carried her into the house and gently placed her on the bed.
"I'm going to sleep." Yu Zhile suddenly turned over and pulled the quilt over his head.
Then, she felt a heat behind her and the thin blanket was gently pulled open.
"Don't be bored." Zhou Yuesheng moved to the bedside and explained, "I want to stay with you for a while. I'll leave when you fall asleep."
Yu Zhile turned around, met his eyes for a moment, then quickly looked away and closed his eyes.
The gaze was so intense that she had wild thoughts for a while, but she eventually succumbed to the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Yuesheng looked at her steadily, his eyes scanning her eyebrows and eyes inch by inch.
It was a long time before he left Yu Zhile's room. He did not return to the west room, but walked towards the back mountain.
It was already past five in the afternoon when Yu Zhile woke up. He subconsciously touched the place beside him, then got up and pushed the door open, but did not see Zhou Yuesheng.
"Uncle Guang, Auntie, Lele, Yuanyuan, Xiaoyue, Xiaobao, I'm here." Zhang Wenxin called out a string of names as soon as she entered the door.
After the sideline group's courtyard was built, they rarely held meetings at Yu's house, so her visits naturally decreased. When she did, her voice was much louder than usual.
"I was wondering why I always felt like something was missing at home recently. It turns out it's Wenxin's voice that's missing." Yu Wanqin couldn't help but joke when she heard this long-lost way of greeting.
Zhang Wenxin held her arm affectionately and smiled, "I will definitely come here often in the future. Auntie, please don't dislike me."
After saying that, she tried to please Yu Wanqin by showing off her cute face, making her laugh so hard that her eyebrows were exposed.
She didn't stop until Yu Chuyue came in and walked to the long table to hold a meeting.
"What kind of propaganda team do you want to set up?" Yu Zhile asked.
During the exchange and study, they learned that the propaganda teams in other villages are divided into two types: one is full-time, doing only propaganda-related work on a daily basis; the other is part-time, doing propaganda after work and earning two work points.
"Part-time type." Zhang Wenxin answered without hesitation, and then gave the reason, "The main members must be literate. I plan to select people from the educated youth camp. Let them get involved in some sideline work, just as a reserve of talents, in case there is no one to use them after the processing plant develops."
She had been observing the people at the educated youth site for some time and knew them well. The moment she decided to set up a propaganda team, she decided on the candidate for the team leader - the female educated youth leader, Ye Chengyu.
"Ye Chengyu?" Yu Zhile recalled her experience during the rehearsal period and commented, "She has a positive attitude and a certain leadership ability."
Yu Chuyue continued: "She is also very friendly and is the most popular educated youth in the village. My father often praises her for her efficiency at home."
The three of them had a good impression of her and unanimously decided to let her be responsible for future publicity work.
After some discussion, they worked out a work charter, decided to make health and safety and literacy the focus of their winter work, and included people who had performed outstandingly in previous evening parties in the reserve list of the performance team.
"Doesn't Chen Zhao love to read newspapers to everyone?" Zhang Wenxin glanced at Chen Zhao, who was listening to the radio leisurely under the eaves, and suddenly remembered this. "Let him teach everyone during the winter. Grandparents will definitely love it."
Yu Zhile couldn't help laughing and waved to ask for his opinion.
Chen Zhao brought Yu Chi and his stool to them and said, "Xiaobao has learned to play the leaf flute these days. Let him partner with me and we will split the work points equally."
"Xiaobao is really awesome." Zhang Wenxin praised and added their names to the list.
Yu Chi nodded seriously in response to her.
After the meeting, Zhang Wenxin and Yu Chuyue did not leave. They chatted with Yu Zhile and reviewed their recent work.
At sunset, they saw Zhou Yuesheng returning to the courtyard sweating after finishing his exercise, and they left tactfully.
Yu Zhile winked at him, but it was already night when they were alone again.
They sat on the swing, chatting quietly about meaningless topics until very late.
The next day, Yu Zhile originally planned to stay with Zhou Yuesheng, but the aftereffect of the newspaper effect broke her plan. Not only did people who came to exchange and learn, but also buyers from various supply and marketing cooperatives came one after another.
Zhang Wenxin was busy setting up a propaganda team and greeting people who came to exchange and learn. Yu Chuyue started to check the village's accounts, and the task of negotiating business naturally fell on her. She was so busy that she was dizzy all day.
By the time she had arranged the production plan for the next few days, it was already dark and Zhou Yuesheng was already waiting for her.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yu Zhile walked forward quickly. "I wanted to spend more time with you, but I didn't expect you to be so busy today."
Zhou Yuesheng touched her face and asked, "It's okay. Are you tired?"
Yu Zhile shook his head, took his hand and went home.
As usual, when she came out of the bathroom with wet hair, Zhou Yuesheng had already prepared a dry towel to help her wipe her hair.
The candlelight in the room was flickering. The two of them sat opposite each other. The atmosphere was so quiet that only the sound of soft wiping could be heard.
Suddenly, Zhou Yuesheng spoke: "Seventy-two days."
"Huh?" Yu Zhile showed a puzzled expression.
"From the time we separated to the time we met again," Zhou Yuesheng explained, "I don't know how long it will be until the next time or the next time."
Yu Zhile replied with a smile: "Maybe, there won't be a next time."
After saying that, she put her arms around Zhou Yuesheng's neck, leaned forward slightly, and took the initiative to ask for a kiss.
As their breaths blended, the still wet hair hit his collarbone, and water droplets flowed down the ends of the hair and wet his collar little by little.
