The people in the production team waited for several days regarding the hunting matter, but received no further news.
On an afternoon with good weather, the Sunshine Society welcomed Captain Zhou and his group.
When the president was receiving them, he subconsciously replied when he saw the other party took out a red book and a certificate.
"Isn't this for Comrade Zhao Wei from our village?"
After all, he already had two red books about Zhao Wei in his hands, and he didn't find it strange at all when he added this time.
Before this, no one in their area had obtained these things, so his guess was actually correct.
Captain Zhou showed him a red-letter document and said, "This case involves two tons of grain worth about 1,600 yuan, and eight suspects have been arrested."
"Comrade Zhao Wei, with his alertness and bravery, saved a huge loss. This award is well-deserved."
"However, in order not to affect Comrade Zhao Wei's life, this commendation activity has been specially cancelled, and only this booklet is sent as an encouragement!"
…
The president said with a smile: "I understand, I understand. This must be Comrade Zhao Wei's special request."
"This young man is very low-key in what he does. He has been rewarded before. You can take a look at his record."
"In addition, our commune has decided to focus on training him. When the village is established, he will be made a team leader so that he can lead the villagers to engage in production and contribute to the construction of the country."
"In our society, we cannot let a talented person be buried. What do you think?"
…
When Captain Zhou and the others heard this, they were naturally happy for Zhao Wei.
It just so happened that they were wearing casual clothes today, so they wanted to go to Zhao Wei's house to visit him, just as a visit between friends.
The president was naturally happy to help and led them there personally.
However, when they got there, they saw several old women in the village gathered at the door of their house, and they seemed to be making quite a noise.
It turned out that it was because the old grandmother took some of her embroidery works to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town to sell.
The quality of her embroidery was so good that the supply and marketing cooperative raised the quality of its purchases, which resulted in everyone's income decreasing.
In the past, these women could support their families and provide them with meat by simply embroidering a pillowcase or quilt cover.
Now, the embroidery they made with so much effort and effort is no longer wanted by the supply and marketing cooperative. They are so angry that they naturally come to our door.
"You've earned all the money, and you didn't even leave us a bowl of soup. You're going to kill us!"
"Not everyone has such good skills as yours. You are not from our village, so you shouldn't come to steal our jobs."
"Before you came, everyone was fine. Look... Now because of you, we can't eat. If you don't give us an explanation today, we will stay here and not leave."
…
The old grandmother was also feeling a little regretful at this time.
She asked Wang Caigu to help her with all those embroidery works.
In their former village, Laoliang, was a famous embroidery village. The women in the village were very good at embroidery. From wedding dresses for girls to insoles and small purses, there was nothing these embroiderers could not do.
Thanks to this era, these embroiderers can now have formal purchasing channels for their embroidery works.
Moreover, there will be embroidery tasks in the village, which can be exchanged for work points.
After the old grandmother came to Yushutun, she single-handedly eliminated the jobs of one-tenth of the women in the village, which made these embroiderers with rough hands and poor skills very angry.
The old grandmother didn't know how to solve the problem. She just kept apologizing to those old ladies like a child who had made a mistake.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. It was all an unintentional mistake. Don't worry, my embroidery will no longer appear in Yushudun. I will take it back to our Laoliang Village for disposal."
Although the trip will be tiring, it is worth the trip if you save up some more money before going.
But if this happens, it will be hard for her, the grandson and his wife.
In this kind of weather, only young people can still run outside, the elderly really can't walk anymore.
Those people complained for a long time, but when they saw that the old grandmother was kind and sincere, they suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Um... Auntie, please don't mind it! We were just too anxious just now. We didn't mean to target you. It's really hard to make a living..."
"In fact, it's our own fault that we didn't learn the skills well enough. It's only a matter of time before we're eliminated. After all, the supply and marketing cooperatives have spent money to buy them, but they're just sitting there and can't be sold. This has happened so many times that, naturally,... ..."
Everyone looked for the reasons in themselves and stopped blaming the old grandmother, which reduced a lot of the pressure on the old grandmother.
"Actually... you don't have to worry about anything. I'm an old woman. My eyesight is blurry and my hands and feet are shaking. How can I embroider anything? The future still depends on young people like you."
Zhao Wei could see that the old grandmother had some regrets. She could no longer touch the career she loved most in her life, and even selling some leftover goods caused dissatisfaction among others.
Since they can no longer find the meaning of their existence, they naturally become depressed.
No matter what age you are, you should be energetic.
To use a saying from later generations, 80 years old is not old, it is the time to make breakthroughs. Never give up on your pursuit, do what you like to do, and allow yourself to be reborn.
