It was already past 4 p.m. when Bai Guoguo and He Gang returned to the Red Star Brigade.
The village was quiet at this time, and everyone was working in the fields or in the brick kilns.
Under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village that had just sprouted new buds, only a few naughty children were playing.
A few children were playing when they suddenly saw a car coming down the road with smoke and dust billowing. They immediately shouted excitedly.
"Grandma, grandma, there's a car coming to our team!"
"Oh, there's a car, there's a car!"
Some clever kids even turned around and ran back to call for help from their parents.
Xiao Zhao, the driver sent by Director Li, deliberately slowed down when passing the village entrance for fear of hitting children or pedestrians.
The children followed the car with laughter and ran all the way to the brigade office.
A few elderly people who were too old to work also followed behind and watched the show curiously.
Their place was poor in the early years, but it has become much better in the past two years after they built a brick kiln.
But the cars we usually see are ox carts, horse carts, and tractors. Where have we ever seen a car like this?
I learned about cars through pictures in newspapers.
When their Harbin Machinery Factory produced the first car, it was reported in the newspapers for a long time!
When the car stopped in front of the brigade headquarters, people were surprised to see that the people who got out of the car were He Gang, the captain of the third squad of their brigade, and Bai Guoguo, the new educated youth.
The young man among the children saw his second uncle and Bai Guoguo getting out of the car, and rushed over excitedly, jumping and laughing around them.
"It's my uncle and Sister Bai. The people in the car are my uncle and Sister Bai. Uncle, Sister Bai, where have you been? Why are you sitting in the car?"
The little guy rushed in front of He Gang, hugged his uncle's long legs, tilted his little head, and looked at the two of them with bright eyes.
He Gang could only smile helplessly and pick up his little nephew. The little guy was not content being held in someone's arms. He moved around and stretched out his body to look at the car.
"Little Tiger, are you better now? Is your throat better now? Your voice is so loud!"
Bai Guoguo touched the little guy's round head with a smile. The child was really not fake. He became full of energy as soon as he recovered from his illness.
"Sister Bai, I'm well now. My great-grandmother and grandmother agreed to let me go out and play. You and my uncle are amazing. We were able to ride back in a car. Where did you go?"
He Gang patted his nephew's butt and told the little guy to behave himself. The little guy was twisting and turning and almost flew out.
Later, seeing that he was still not behaving well, I simply put him on the ground.
"Go play with your friends and stop pestering your sister Bai. Oh, and call her Aunt Bai next time."
He Gang also knew that he was several years older than Bai Guoguo, so he couldn't stand hearing this kind of address that separated generations.
"Don't listen to your uncle. I just like you guys calling me sister. It makes me look so young. Come on, little tiger, share these candies with your friends. I still have work to do. I'll come and play with you some other day!"
Bai Guoguo took out a handful of fruit candies from her bag, stuffed them into Xiao Huzi's pocket, and asked him to help share some with the children.
When a group of children saw that there was candy to eat, they happily surrounded Little Tiger and went to the side to share the candy.
When Captain He heard the news and rushed back to the office, he saw such a lively scene.
My nephew He Gang and the educated youth Xiaobai were standing by the car and talking with a young man.
A group of children were happily distributing candies nearby, with occasional arguments.
Several old people surrounded the car, touching and looking at it, smiling from ear to ear.
Uncle He is worthy of being the team leader, he has strong leadership skills. As soon as he arrived, he sent someone to take the driver to settle down.
Then he asked someone to find the main cadres of the team, and everyone gathered in the office to hold a meeting.
"What? Not only did you secure a brick deal, but you also agreed to open a factory in partnership with a coal mine. Doesn't that mean some of our team members can become workers?"
Captain Li of a small team was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. His loud voice made everyone in the room's ears buzz.
The other people were also shocked, some laughed out loud, and some were overjoyed.
Some people didn't believe it was true and repeatedly asked He Gang and Bai Guoguo.
Only Captain He seemed calm and steady as he sat at the top. However, as soon as one saw that his hand holding the pipe was trembling slightly, one could tell that he was also uneasy in his heart.
"Uncle, fellow comrades, what we said is true. Comrade Bai Guoguo has made a great contribution this time!"
He Gang smiled and helped Bai Guoguo to take credit for his achievements. Bai Guo had made great contributions, and he was also proud of it.
"Hahaha, Comrade Xiaobai, you really know how to surprise us. You've made a great contribution to the team this time and helped us so much. Our team will definitely not treat the hero unfairly!"
Uncle He calmed down, laughed and praised Bai Guoguo.
"Our comrade Xiaobai is a true example of educated youth going to the countryside. He is truly an educated youth, full of ideas and courage!"
The cadres, both big and small, in the office praised Bai Guoguo so much that he felt a little embarrassed.
He had to wave his hands repeatedly to show his humility, so that everyone would feel that Xiaobai, the educated youth, was indeed not greedy for fame and had a noble character.
After discussions among the production brigade cadres that night, they decided to report to the leaders of Hongqi Commune the next morning and then go to the county together to discuss cooperation matters!
