When He Wan caught up with Comrade Xiao Li, he was already riding his bike almost to the entrance of the village: "He Zhiqing, do you have anything else to do?"

He Wan took out two White Rabbit candies from her pocket and said with a smile, "Comrade Li, I want to ask how many educated youth teams are participating in our county."

"I don't know the details yet. Tomorrow is the first day of registration." As he said that, he smiled and pushed the candy to He Wan: "This thing is good, how can I take it from you, keep it for yourself."

He Wan smiled and pushed it into his hands again: "Comrade Li, my brother will mail me some from time to time. If I can't finish it, it will melt. Please don't be polite to me."

Comrade Li accepted it with a smile, and then said, "The commune originally notified the team leader about the event, and then the team leader conveyed it to you. I happened to have something to do with your village party secretary today, and I also know that the three of you have been active and motivated before, so I came to inform you specially." After he paused, seeing that there was no one around, he whispered a reminder: "You should participate in as many activities held by the province as you can, it will not harm you."

He Wan immediately recognized the hidden meaning and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you Comrade Li, we will go to sign up tomorrow."

"Behave well."

"Well, take your time."

"See you later."

He Wan and Zhang Cuicao did not mention the cultural and artistic activities until noon when everyone returned to the educated youth site.

He Wan took half a pound of meat and ran to Su Ranran and the others: "Sister Cui Cao, can we share the fire today?"

Zhang Cuicao looked at the piece of meat in her hand and whispered in surprise: "He Zhiqing, when did you get this piece of meat?"

"I bought it from Comrade Li. When we were talking today, I saw a piece of meat in his pocket. I've been working every day lately and have no time to go to the county town, so I'm craving for it."

Zhang Cuicao was naturally satisfied with the meat and said with a smile, "We still have vermicelli noodles. Let's make pork stewed with vermicelli and serve with steamed corn bread."

"OK."

Su Ranran came back from picking vegetables in the field and saw He Wan there. She hurriedly asked, "He Zhiqing, do you want to participate in the cultural and artistic activities?"

"Sister Ranran, do you want to participate?"

Su Ranran said shyly, "When I was in school, I loved the school-organized activities the most, and I even danced." He Wan came over to tell them about this: "Comrade Li later told me that we should participate if we can."

Zhang Cuicao was cutting the meat and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"What they said was rather vague. They said that participating in more large-scale events like this would be good for us. I don't know what the specific benefits are, but after all, it is organized by the province. If we can represent the county in a performance at the provincial level, I think there will definitely be benefits in the end. There must be awards and prizes.

If we perform well and are taken seriously by the county, the Youth League Office will definitely think of those of us who have appeared and won awards when there are any good policies in the future. "

Su Ranran agreed: "That's right."

Zhang Cuicao asked, "Shall we join in?"

"I'll participate. I'll sign up."

Seeing that both of them were willing, He Wan said, "It's definitely not possible with just two people. Let's go ask Captain Wang and ask him to mobilize everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Zhenzhen poked her head out of the doorway and asked, "What are you mobilizing for? What do the people from the commune want from you today?"

"You've come at the right time. The Youth League Office is holding a song and dance performance. Do you want to join in?"

Xue Zhenzhen came in with five steamed buns made of 30 grams of flour. She gave them to Su Ranran and said, "Can I help with the fire?"

Zhang Cuicao looked at her steamed buns made of three-grain flour. Without waiting for Su Ranran to speak, she put down the knife in her hand and took it over: "Okay, I'll cook, and you guys just wait and eat today."

The one made with three-grain flour is much more delicious than the one made with corn flour.

I work every day and I feel greedy.

Su Ranran didn't say anything, and asked her again: "Will you participate?"

"If you guys participate, I'll go."
