When Lu Hai came back, he just caught up with Su Su in the front yard accompanying Lu's mother to take apart the quilts for washing. After all, the New Year was coming soon and everything in their house had to be washed.
This is a big project, so even Su Su, who doesn't like working, has to come and help.
Zhui Hai put all the money he had taken out on the kang, and then said, "Sister-in-law, the secretary asked you to go to a meeting."
"I'm not a member of the team, why do you want me to go to the meeting?" Su Su didn't like to go, especially she didn't want to see the male protagonist's eyes that blamed her for everything.
"I don't know either, but I told you to go quickly." After saying this, Lu Hai went to fetch water.
Father Lu said, "Go quickly if they call you. There must be something wrong."
At this time, Lue's mother came back and said, "It's cold and the roads are slippery. Lue Hai, don't carry water anymore. Go and take your sister-in-law over."
"Ah?" Do you still need to send me off for such a short distance?
"Just go if I tell you to go." Lu's mother glared at him, and then Lu Hai had no choice but to send Su Su over.
Su Su was helpless and could only get off the kang and walk towards the village branch.
"Mom told me to pick you up later."
“No need.”
"Listen to your mother, or she will beat you up."
"Oh." In fact, there is really no need to pick her up and drop her off. Not only when she goes to the branch, but also when she goes home, she needs someone to be with her. She originally thought it was Lu Chuan who ordered it, but now she feels that it is Lu's mother who really cares about her too much.
She was not allowed to do any work and was treated with caution in every way. Especially when the road was difficult to walk on after the snow, she was not even allowed to light a kang. This was a bit strange. Should I go back and ask her later?
When we arrived at the village branch, we found that there were several people sitting there, including the branch secretary, the team leader, and the village women's director. In addition to her, there were several other female educated youth there, including the heroine.
After Su Su arrived, the Party Secretary said, "Comrade Su, you are here. Please take a seat."
Su Su sat down, and then the secretary said: "Now that the knowledgeable and prestigious women comrades in the village are almost all here, let's discuss what activities to organize!"
What does it mean?
Su Su smiled and asked, "Are there any New Year activities?" After all, she was a college graduate. It is a national tradition to have activities during festivals. Maybe there are also such activities in this book world. After all, it comes from reality.
The secretary immediately explained the whole story. It turned out that the harvest in the past two years was good and the commune was praised by the higher authorities. It just so happened that the higher authorities felt that women were too disrespected in this area because of an incident in which a woman was abducted and returned to her original home. They thought that the status of women should be improved. So, there was this New Year event, named: Women's New Look.
Each village is required to organize women to perform a show, no more than one, and then give scores.
The village that won the award not only received gifts, but also gave some grain to the award-winning women during the grain distribution, and also gave the village branch a certificate.
This was an era where honor meant everything, so everyone was very active. However, rural women stayed at home all day long, so how could they perform? Besides, they couldn't even go to the commune to buy something, let alone participate in any show. So each village was very active, but there was no way to take these women out. They thought it was better to stay at home and curl up in their quilts. Who would be willing to participate in any show?
Under such circumstances, we held this meeting to try to come up with some ideas.
So that's what's going on. Su Su nodded and said, "I'm new here and I don't know anything. You guys can discuss it."
However, Qin Yueyue said, "Comrade Su has graduated from university, so he must have some suggestions. I waited for you to come and ask for your opinion."
"I have no opinion. After all, this is a village matter."
"Now that you've married into this village, it's a bit inappropriate to be so indifferent to other people's affairs, isn't it?"
Qin Yueyue said with a smile, but secretly forced Su Su to express her opinion.
Su Su smiled and said, "Yes, I am from this village and so are you. Shouldn't we all work together to find a solution? I am the youngest here and I should respect everyone's opinions. Don't you agree, Qin Zhiqing?"
Qin Yueyue frowned secretly. She felt that although Su Su was young, her words were still very sharp. She stopped talking to the point. She didn't want to be laughed at by others because she was being excluded by others.
The secretary looked at them and said with a smile: "Comrade Su, you have just arrived and you should be familiar with the affairs of the village. Why don't we let you handle it? No matter what the result of the competition is, no one will blame you. What do you think?"
Su Su had never thought that this matter would fall on her, but since the Party Secretary had said so, she could not object. She could only say, "But I have little experience, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it when the time comes."
"It's okay. Your aunt Sun, the director of the Women's Department, will help you. If anyone causes trouble, just come to me." The secretary thought that although Su Su was young, she had a sharp vision, and that she would be able to handle the matter well.
Besides, he is a military dependent, so he can scare those women.
The director of the women's department, Sun Ying, also nodded and said, "Although I have the title of director of the women's department, I have not received any education, so this matter will depend on you young people. It is said that these educated youth comrades have asked for leave to go home during the New Year, so I can only count on you, Comrade Su."
Although Su Su didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, she couldn't back down since the person in charge of the village said so. That would be too embarrassing.
Since she came here, she realized that Lu Chuan was actually a glory for the village. After all, there was no one in the whole village who was an official outside. He was the first.
Even though I just got here, I can't embarrass Ruchuan. After all, they are husband and wife.
"Okay, since the branch secretary and the director both trust me, I can only go for it." Anyway, there is only one show, no problem. She has organized it in school before, so she is not completely without experience.
"That's great. Let's all applaud Comrade Su Su first." Then the applause broke out.
Su Su nodded to everyone and said, "I will do my best."
The secretary asked, "What do you think right now?"
"I think since it is a task assigned by the commune, it should be done formally. Poetry recitation or chorus singing are both fine." These two programs were the most popular at that time. Originally, there was also dancing, but how could it be possible to let the women in a village learn to dance?
So, the fastest is poetry recitation and chorus.
"I think your ideas are very clear, so let's discuss the nature of the program." After the secretary finished speaking, he asked everyone to speak collectively. Some said they wanted to sing songs, while others said poetry recitation was better because it was simple, convenient and did not require too many people.
