Chapter 154 What a Glorious Thing
"Yes, go to the threshing ground. It will be a big deal if you appear in the newspaper. It will make the whole team happy."
Lin Tang didn't think there was anything wrong, but instead felt it was weird.
As if he were some big shot.
"Uncle, there's no need to be so exaggerated." Lin Tang hesitated with a look of shame on his face.
Lin Fu's voice rose slightly, with an expression that said, "You don't understand."
"Why not? The commune leaders all knew about your appearance in the newspaper, and they praised me, the team leader, profusely.
You little kid, don't you know how glorious it is to be in the newspaper?
This is incredible!
From now on, when other teams mention our team, they will say, "Oh, it's the team where a little girl submitted an article to the newspaper."
This is such an honor for the family!
Once the news spreads further, you'll be known as an outstanding and capable female comrade, and everyone will respect you."
Being in the newspaper is a great thing!
Lin Tang blushed when she was called a little kid, "..."
In her past and present lives, she is actually quite old.
"Okay, I'll listen to uncle." Lin Tang said obediently.
After saying that, the two of them didn't delay any longer and walked towards the threshing ground before it got completely dark.
When they arrived, not only the Lin family, but also everyone in the village, big and small, was there.
The big guys gathered together and talked loudly.
A group of children were dressed in tattered and rustic clothes.
His little face was dark and he was skin and bones.
But his eyes were exceptionally clear and bright.
A smile brighter than the sun lit up her face.
Running around, bursts of silver bell-like laughter could be heard from time to time.
Lin Tang was moved when he saw the innocent and satisfied smiles on the faces of the children in the village.
Such a bright and pure smile is rarely seen in later generations.
In that era, there was clearly nothing missing.
We have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, technology is developing rapidly, and countless new things are coming out every day.
However, everyone has their own difficulties.
The children are overwhelmed by their studies and various classes.
Young people have worked hard in big cities for decades, but it is difficult for them to find a home to settle down.
Looking around, I see people struggling and wandering.
There are also those elderly people who stay in their hometowns. They are left behind by the times and cannot see their children or grandchildren.
Every day when I open my eyes, I see four empty walls; when I close my eyes, it’s still the same.
People are swept forward by the times.
I can't see the future, nor do I dare to look back.
Every day and every night I think about the few pieces of silver that can relieve all the sorrows in this world.
It's hard to say whether it's good or bad.
only.
All the needs of life are met, so why are people’s happiness and joy becoming more and more distant... Isn’t this sad?
Lin Tang was a little dazed.
She was brought back to her senses by the joyful calls of "Sister Tangtang".
"Sister Tangtang..."
"Sister Tangtang, my mother said that you are the most capable person in our team and asked me to learn more from you." A black girl smiled with her white teeth and looked at Lin Tang with admiration.
Little Heinu thinks Sister Tangtang is more capable than her father who can earn ten work points a day.
Even the hair is shining.
As soon as Hei Nuo finished speaking, the other little ones also started talking.
"Of course she does. My mother said that Sister Tangtang is the incarnation of Wenquxing. She was born to be a government employee, unlike the rest of us."
"Sister Tangtang, is it fun in the city? Are the roads smooth?
Also, aren’t there a ton of bicycles in the city? "
"Do all the kids in the city have candy?
Are the meals they usually eat the same white bread that Goudan and his friends had last time?"
…
The children surrounded Lin Tang and chattered with questions, their eyes longing for innocence, and their expressions made people feel sad.
Lin Tang answered their questions carefully one by one.
“The roads in the city are indeed smoother than those in the village. Bicycles are large items and require money and tickets. There aren’t many people who ride them.
There are also children in the city who don’t have candy to eat, but most of them can still afford to eat candy.
As for white bread, white flour is very expensive and rare, it’s good to eat it once in a while, why would you eat it every day…”
Children in rural areas can’t even get enough food to eat, so how can they have snacks?
I heard that children in the city can eat it occasionally, and tears of envy flowed from the corners of my mouth.
“Life in the city is so good!”
"I also want to study hard and go to the city to work like Sister Tangtang when I grow up."
"I want to be a worker too."
…
A group of little rascals spoke seriously, with hope glimmering in their eyes.
Lin Tang looked at the innocent faces of the children in front of him, and his heart moved slightly.
These are the future of Shuangshan Brigade.
Lin Tang took out a handful of fruit candies from his pocket, actually from the system space, and distributed them to the children in the team.
"Come, I'll treat you to some candy.
If you want to work in the county, you have to study hard.
When you become workers, you will have plenty of opportunities to eat candy." She encouraged him with a smile.
A group of children stared with their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief.
"...For us? Thank you, Sister Tangtang."
"Sister Tangtang is so nice, so nice, I have candy to eat!"
"Is this really candy? The candy wrapper is so pretty, I want to keep it."
"Thank you Sister Tangtang for the candy. We will definitely study hard."
The children cheered and jumped for joy.
There was a childish and simple smile on his face.
After thanking Lin Tang, he ran around to tell others.
So happy.
When the members of Shuangshan Brigade saw that their children had received the candy that looked expensive, they looked at Lin Tang with gratitude.
The little girl from the Lin family is kind-hearted, as she can give so much candy to the children in the village.
Lin Fu looked at his niece with admiration.
I feel very proud.
He took a broken loudspeaker, walked up to the crowd, and started shouting.
It must be heard by everyone behind.
“Everyone must be curious about why I called you all here today. It’s a good thing.
This is a good thing for our Lin family and also for Shuangshan Brigade.
Comrades, do you want to know?"
Lin Fu's face flushed and he kept the question in suspense for the time being.
When the brigade members heard that it was good news, they became anxious.
"Captain, don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us what the good news is. We're all listening."
"Yes, yes, tell us quickly and let us have some fun too."
"It's also related to your Lin family. Could it be that something good has happened to your Tangtang again?"
The members were talking at once.
Lin Fu saw that the atmosphere was almost created, and actually because he was afraid of being hit by smelly shoes, he finally spoke.
"The article written by my Tangtang has been submitted!"
"It's a newspaper from the provincial capital. Today, the commune leaders praised our brigade in public."
“He also said that if our brigade’s pig-raising mission is successfully completed.
By the end of the year, the glorious title of advanced brigade will belong to Shuangshan Brigade.
All members should work hard to achieve a big harvest by the end of the year and have a good New Year.”
When the people below heard this, the scene suddenly became lively.
"Lin Jiatangtang is in the newspaper?"
"Why is it in the newspaper?"
"Did the commune leaders praise us? What did they praise us for?"
"Advanced brigade? It would be great if our brigade could really become an advanced brigade!"
"Don't worry about the pig-raising task. Our team's pigs are well-raised. Even people from Jianming Team would praise them if they came to see them."
…
Lin Fu wanted to make his niece proud, so he waved to Lin Tang.
