Chapter 145 Zhang Xinrong Returns from Mission

The news that Su Ranran was on the Renmin Daily quickly spread throughout the Shuiqiao Brigade!

Everyone also knows that after Su Ranran joined the army, she and a technician developed a type of rice that can be grown in sand.

Moreover, she single-handedly made it possible for everyone on the island to eat vegetables.

Now, everyone in the Shuiqiao Brigade was excited!

Everyone told everyone that there was a talented person in their team, who was even reported in the People's Daily, and who had developed a very powerful rice variety that could grow even in sandy soil.

Soon, everyone in the Red Flag Commune knew about it.

Everyone was deeply impressed by this educated youth.

It was she who discovered that the weather was wrong, which allowed them to avoid a major flood.

Now hearing that she has made such a great contribution, those who already loved her very much now directly treat her as the treasure of the Red Flag Commune.

The most excited were the Shen family.

You know, this is a matter of bringing honor to the family!

That day, Shen Guoyao bought a string of firecrackers and set them off. He also gave candies and melon seeds to those who came to congratulate him. The dozen or so members of the Shen family all had beaming faces.

In the afternoon, the commune secretary led the county head and the Minister of Agriculture to the Shen family.

As soon as he entered the door, the county governor shook Shen Guoyao's hand, and the excitement on his face was no less than his.

"Comrade Shen Guoyao, your eldest daughter-in-law is amazing. The provincial government called us to praise Comrade Su Ranran!"

Su Ran was featured in People's Daily, which means he became a celebrity known throughout the country and the pride of Xinnan County.

Shen Guoyao didn't expect that even the county governor and the Minister of Agriculture would come, and the whole family was so excited that they didn't know what to do.

The county governor did not come empty-handed, he also brought a banner and a bonus of two hundred dollars.

When the onlookers saw the two hundred yuan, their eyes widened!

That’s two hundred dollars!

It’s like people can’t save that much money even if they work hard for a year!

Now I can get two hundred dollars for free!

"What kind of luck did Shen He have? Not only did he marry such a pretty wife, but she is also so capable."

Someone said enviously.

She had completely forgotten the discussions in the team that Su Ranran was not worthy of Shen He.

But just because he forgot doesn't mean others have forgotten too.

Recalling their contempt for Su Ranran, some people just felt a burning pain on their faces.

Now that he has become a celebrity, he will probably go higher and further in the future.

They were lucky enough to be in the same team as Shen He, otherwise it would be difficult for them to see her again in the future.

With everyone's witness, the Shen family proudly accepted the golden banner and the 200-yuan bonus.

The county chief also took the Minister of Agriculture to inspect Shuiqiao Brigade.

I discovered that the Shuiqiao Brigade had a strange water pump.

No electricity or oil is needed, water can be directly pumped out to irrigate high-altitude farmlands by utilizing the height difference of water flow.

"Guoyao, this is a great thing. How did you come up with this idea?"

When the Minister of Agriculture saw the novel water pump, his face was full of amazement.

When talking about this, Shen Guoyao's eyes suddenly lit up with amazing light.

"This is also what my eldest daughter-in-law thought of."

It turns out that this thing was the drawing that Su Ranran had drawn before she joined the army.

In the end, it was worked out by the educated youth in the village.

"The educated youth in our brigade were willing to use their brains. My eldest daughter-in-law just drew the blueprints and they came up with it."

When talking about Su Ranran, Shen Guoyao can only praise her.

There's nothing I can do. This daughter-in-law is so nice.

Ever since she went to join the army, she has actually sent me letters every month, and each time she sends me a variety of seafood.

Who in the team doesn’t envy them for being able to eat Shanghai fish, shrimps and kelp frequently?

The children at home eagerly wait for their aunt to send back a package every month.

Of course, they are not the kind of people who just take things and ignore their sons and daughters-in-law.

Every time Pan Shuifang replied to a letter, she would send some local specialties from home.

The Minister of Agriculture listened to Shen Guoyao's praise without any impatience on his face. Instead, he listened very carefully and asked a few questions from time to time.

It was not until two hours later that the team said goodbye to the Shen family.

Pan Shuifang quickly asked to keep the person.

"The chickens have been killed and the meal will be ready soon. Let's eat first and then go back!"

But the county magistrate and other officials, both big and small, are all party members. How could they be willing to eat chickens killed by ordinary people?

Despite the Shen family's enthusiastic attempts to keep them, the team finally left.

Only when the county magistrate and his men disappeared at the end of the road did the Shen family return home.

Pan Shuifang's face was flushed with joy, and she was even happier than when she first married her son's daughter-in-law.

"Second brother, please find a time to take me to your eldest brother's place. Your sister-in-law is going to give birth soon after the Chinese New Year, and I have to go take care of her."

Su Ranran didn't let her go before, and since Shen Guoyao had just become the team leader, she was worried and didn't go.

Now that her daughter-in-law is pregnant, it would be unreasonable for her not to go.

Besides, Su Ranran is now the treasure of the Shen family, and she is eager to go over and take care of her.

"Yeah! Okay! Farm work isn't busy right now. I'll call my brother in a couple of days and see what he says."

As soon as the two sisters-in-law returned to the yard, they heard the mother-in-law discussing the matter of taking care of Su Ranran.

"Mom, if you go, I won't send the clothes I made for your nephew. You can take them with you when you go."

Gao Fangxia is good at handicrafts.

Su Ranran never forgets to send things to her family, so how can she not give something back?

"Mom, my parents gave me a lot of gauze, which is perfect for making diapers. I'll give it to you later."

Xu Huilian hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and decided to take out the gauze that she had been reluctant to use.

Pan Shuifang was delighted to see that both of her daughters-in-law were so capable.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it over there when the time comes." Pan Shuifang said happily.

The daughters-in-law in the family are all harmonious. Who in the whole team wouldn't envy her?

But Pan Shuifang is not the kind of person who is confused.

Knowing that a big tree has big branches, he planned to divide the house into two parts when Shen He comes back from vacation next time.

Here, the Shen family was happily discussing Pan Shuifang's joining the army.

On the other hand, Zhang Xinrong, who had been on a mission for more than half a month, finally returned to Pingzhou Island.

It was afternoon when I got home and there was smoke coming out of the kitchen.

The two sons were playing marbles under the tree, while the daughter was holding a branch and writing something on the ground.

But Zhang Xinrong just glanced at them and hurried to the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that slender figure standing in front of the stove cooking.

Surrounded by smoke, every movement of the woman appears more graceful and charming.

Zhang Xinrong's throat tightened and he couldn't take his eyes off that slim figure.

By the time Wang Chunmei realized something was wrong, Zhang Xinrong had already been watching for who knows how long.

When their eyes met, Wang Chunmei's originally gentle expression suddenly froze.

When Zhang Xinrong saw her like this, his heart sank.

The bitterly suppressed longing mixed with the resisted anger intertwined and surged.

He walked towards her.
