Chapter 125 The Prime Minister opens another sealed envelope...
The Premier opened another confidential letter, revealing all of the Yu family's recent movements.
The letter contained details of everything, even trivial matters such as Mr. Yu catching two fresh fish and Mrs. Yu buying vegetables at the food station.
He received the news immediately about the time bomb incident at the canteen of the steel rolling mill in Qingshan County. Anything involving Yu Jiajia was considered urgent and required immediate reporting.
Without him issuing any orders, the participants of Operation Morning Star had already appeared around Yu Jiajia to protect her immediately. Lu Chenzhou also mobilized the army and police officers to search for the source of the time bomb.
The Premier examined the information very carefully, especially the part about Yu Jiajia. She was able to sense danger, so she sensed the time bomb.
He already knew, but he was still shocked.
This failure of Operation Morning Star resulted in life-threatening dangerous items appearing around Yu Jiajia.
The comrades at the Qingshan County Steel Rolling Mill displayed bravery and fearlessness in the face of danger, with Yu Jiajia's mother being the most admirable.
Later, at 10:12:09, Yu Jiajia brought out the crabapple blossoms and placed them on the windowsill, but soon after, she brought them back into the room.
Yu Jiajia was in a great mood, and the lights in the Yu family's living room stayed on until 12:58:11.
The Premier closed the documents, shut his eyes, and pondered, connecting the various clues. His knuckles tapped lightly on the table, each tap a question, exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
Jiajia's letter was full of loopholes, failing to explain the source of the complete set of technical data for Baicao Huichun Pills and hybrid rice, just like the drawings related to Wuqinxi, Qingnang Shu, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
She didn't come into contact with any strange people.
These things appeared out of thin air.
These things may have appeared out of thin air before 10:12. She may have wanted to hand these precious treasures over to the country immediately, but considering it was evening, she changed her mind and moved the crabapple blossoms back to her room. Then she wrote this letter.
She told everything she could without reservation.
Why do these things happen?
What is the reward mechanism?
Is it related to a time bomb?
After a long while, he opened his eyes, picked up a pen and paper, and carefully wrote a reply.
The secretary knocked on the door again to remind the Prime Minister that it was late and he needed to rest.
The Premier insisted on finishing the letter and had his secretary prepare an envelope and stamps.
He wrote the address on the envelope, affixed the stamp, and then carefully sealed the envelope.
"Where is Comrade Yuan's information from Anjiang Agricultural School?"
"You should rest now."
Under the Prime Minister's watchful eye, the secretary had no choice but to hand him a document.
Outside the window, the morning star is rising in the east, and a ray of dawn quietly breaks through the night; day has broken.
The Premier picked up the phone and made a call, instructing that Comrade Yuan and the experimental field be protected at all costs. As for the complete set of technical data on hybrid rice, he would personally go there to deliver the data to Comrade Yuan.
This is the foundation of the nation, of paramount importance.
Furthermore, regarding Comrade Yu Jiajia's security, it has been decided to immediately upgrade the protection level to the highest level. Her importance may have been anticipated by criminals. The entire security system of Qingshan County must be immediately and comprehensively reviewed and strengthened to ensure absolute security and prevent any mishaps.
To explore the potential link between time bombs and reward mechanisms, several controlled experiments can be designed for preliminary verification.
After hanging up the phone, the Premier carefully locked the letter and hybrid rice technical data into a drawer, then, holding the warm, smooth jade porcelain bottle, set off for the location of the medical expert team.
He firmly believed that this medicine was no ordinary medicine, but before presenting it to the Chairman, two key steps had to be completed: first, to have the renowned physician Dr. Fang analyze the properties of the medicine and confirm its safety; and second, to assess whether the medicine could be mass-produced to benefit the people.
Yu Jiajia slept very soundly that night.
After getting up, I first did my usual sign-in.
Congratulations on receiving [Great Unity*10]
Yu Jiajia:! ! !
She looked at it again and again, and it really was 100 yuan. Ah, that's a bit too much.
The sign-in system always rewards people with steamed buns, vegetarian dumplings, eggs, and the most useful food is all-purpose fish food. When have I ever signed in for 100 yuan?
She studied it for a while but couldn't figure it out. She then leaned over the table, looking at the crabapple blossoms. The Premier should have received the gift by now! Looking forward to it!!!
It would be great if a doctor could figure out the formula for Baicao Huichun Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine), and ideally, mass-produce it.
There are so many powerful people who need the Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill! Let's each take one and live to be a hundred years old! Let's work together for the prosperity and strength of our motherland!
Mr. Yuan's situation will definitely improve, and he will surely have a longer scientific research career in the future, contributing more to this land.
Those who are capable should do more!
She continued to work hard on the task.
Yu Jiamin had already finished her run and returned. She practiced the Five Animal Frolics with Yu Jiajia, mainly leading Yu Jiajia in the practice.
Now that Yu Jiamin is a police officer, she has higher requirements for her physical fitness. Today, she gets up before dawn to run around, finds a secluded spot with no blind spots, and practices the Five Animal Frolics several times. Then, she runs back to wake her younger sister up and practices the Five Animal Frolics with her again.
Yu Jiajia was full of admiration, thinking that her third sister was so amazing that she could succeed at anything.
After practicing the Five Animal Frolics and working up a sweat, the two sisters took clean clothes to shower and wash up. Yu Songyan was making breakfast. He made fish ball soup for Cheng Xiuying and also made fresh meat wontons. He first gave a large bowl of fish ball soup to the injured Cheng Xiuying, and then saved a small portion to add more soup to cook the wontons.
Cheng Xiuying's bowl contained more fish balls than wontons, and less sauce at the bottom. There were no dried shrimp, only ham, chopped green onions, and cilantro; no soy sauce or vinegar. However, the fish ball soup was very flavorful and fragrant.
The others' are even more delicious.
Yu Songyan: "Jiajia, there are quite a lot of wontons. Should we send a bowl to Factory Director Qi?"
Yu Jiajia happily replied, "Okay, okay!"
The bowl was quite hot, so Yu Songyan went with Yu Jiajia to deliver wontons to Factory Director Qi.
Qi Yan was planning to eat at the cafeteria. Her cooking skills were average, and she didn't like to cook. The wontons that Yu Jiajia brought were so delicious! You could smell them from far away.
She finds it hard to resist delicious food and plans to buy some meat and vegetables to send to the Yu family that evening.
Cheng Xiuying peeked outside and thought, "Wow, this second son is something else!"
Grandma Yu also craned her neck to look outside, muttering to herself, "To win a woman's heart, first win her stomach!" She thought Yu Songyan's plan was reliable.
The brother and sister returned quickly, and Yu Jiajia happily ate her meal!
These wontons are really delicious, the fish balls are chewy and sweet, and the wonton soup is also very flavorful. After eating a big bowl, it's really satisfying.
Grandma Yu thought the food was really delicious. Yu Songyan was truly talented in cooking, and she still had a lot to learn from him!
After dinner, Yu Jiajia ran to ask Sister Qi if she wanted to go to the street to watch the parade. Yu Jiajia thought Sister Qi wasn't going, but she didn't expect her to want to go too.
Everyone went to the street to watch the parade.
Leading the charge this time were several enemy agents, including Shen Huaishan, a cleaner from the health center, and Amei. Although Jiang Tao was not an enemy agent, he was the one who planted the time bomb in the canteen, so he was also fortunate enough to stand in the first row, in a better position than Amei.
Further down the list are Shen Huaishan's lovers, who provided assistance in this time bomb operation. The woman pretending to be a middle-aged man with a dark face is also very conspicuous. She is a worker in the steel rolling mill workshop. She is usually very lively and good at making friends. Half of the steel rolling mill is her friend. No one would have thought that she would do such a thing.
Her family members were also employees of the steel rolling mill. On the day the time bomb was planted, her parents and older brother did not eat in the canteen, but went to eat at the state-run restaurant with her.
My sister-in-law and second sister went to the cafeteria, though.
Her sister-in-law is already getting a divorce. People in families like that should run away quickly, or they'll be labeled as "black five categories" and their children will never be able to hold their heads up again. Her family also rushed to support her, encouraging her to get a divorce quickly, otherwise they too would be ashamed.
Her second sister also ran away, and published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with her.
The two women had made some small contributions in the cafeteria that day and almost got killed in the explosion; they were completely innocent and escaped unscathed. Her parents and older brother, however, were truly implicated and died as a result.
They deserved it; the whole family went out to eat, but the eldest sister-in-law and second sister were the only ones left out.
These people had their heads shaved in a half-shaved style, wore signs around their necks, and were shackled on their hands and feet. It was their first time being paraded through the streets, and they couldn't stand the rotten eggs, swill, and leaves. Someone had even prepared yellow soup, making them smelly and stinky. With the addition of stones and other things, bleeding was inevitable.
Next came Zhang Jianguo, Gu Yazhen, and Gu Yazhen's elder brother and his entourage. They were actually slightly better off than the others, but only slightly.
Gu Yazhen cried from beginning to end; she cried until she had no tears left.
How could she be so miserable?
Gu Yazhen's family truly hates her. If it weren't for her, even if they were poor, they wouldn't be in this situation now.
Of course, the Yu family must hate them even more.
These are all people who participated in the parade for the first time. They have no experience and find it very difficult to accept this for their first time.
Those behind were all elderly people. Zhu Jingsong, Shen Siwei, and other enemy agents were numb, letting rotten eggs and leaves be thrown at them, with no idea when it would end.
Behind them are the corrupt leaders of the oil pressing factory.
At the very back are Hu Chunmei, Cao Meiling, and other criminals who switched babies.
Everyone else was numb, but Cao Meiling couldn't be numb. How could her eldest son, Tao Tao, have become a criminal? A criminal who was to be executed. Her son, her most beloved and filial son.
When she learned what Jiang Tao had done, she nearly fainted. It was the Yu family again! How come the Yu family members weren't killed in the bombing? Her Tao Tao was trying to save her!
She looked at Jiang Tao, and tears welled up again in her eyes, which had already been filled with tears.
Jiang Tao also saw his mother and walked the same path with her. So this is what it feels like. Mom, I'm sorry, your son couldn't save you.
After the parade passed, Xu Mei, He Xiaoyun, Jiang Quan, Jiang Hai, Jiang Lu, Zhang Jianguo's mother, Zhang Jipan, and others were to clean up the streets and remove the dirt.
Xu Mei's problem wasn't too serious. She did intend to get close to Yu Jiajia, but before she could do anything, she was put under surveillance, and Shen Huaishan abandoned her.
Looking at the tragic state of Shen Huaishan, Xu Mei realized he was an enemy agent with six lovers, and she wasn't even one of them. She felt a strange sense of relief; thankfully, Shen Huaishan had given up on her, otherwise she would have had her head shaved and been paraded through the streets, or even been shot.
Now that she's divorced, she doesn't know if she can keep her job. If she can, that would be wonderful.
He Xiaoyun cried the most. She was innocent! She had only let Jiang Tao cover her job for a few days. How could such a big problem have occurred? She knew nothing about it. She was completely innocent.
But nobody paid any attention to her.
She lost her job at the steel rolling mill; she was fired and is now unemployed!
She didn't cherish her job when she had it, but now that she's unemployed, she's panicked.
Even a worker would be fine!
What will she do if she loses her job? She doesn't want to go to the countryside!
It seemed that marriage was her only option, but she didn't want to marry just anyone.
In reality, who would dare to marry her now? Anyone who did would have their legs broken by their parents.
Suddenly, she saw Xue Mei, He Jianshe, and He Yao. She dropped the broom in her hand and rushed over. "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, please help me! I'm innocent! I don't know anything!"
Xue Mei's heart was breaking. This was the child she had raised with such care and love, and now she had become like this? Faced with the truth about the baby swap, she chose to believe that Xiao Yun was innocent. She was just a child; she didn't understand anything. So she continued to treat her very well. Even when she temporarily rented a place for Xiao Yun to stay, she stayed with her, believing that this was only temporary and that one day Xiao Yun would be able to come home.
But how could He Xiaoyun acknowledge the Jiang family as her own?
He Xiaoyun spent the money she gave her, treated the Jiang family to meals and drinks, and even gave Jiang Tao a job, which led Jiang Tao to do such a thing.
He Jianguo tensed up; if Xue Mei dared to soften her heart, he really wouldn't be able to continue living with her.
He Xiaoyun, with tears in her eyes, said, "Mom, please help me."
She needed a job, and she had to coax Xue Mei into giving her her job.
Xue Mei pushed He Xiaoyun away, "You've called the wrong person. You are Cao Meiling and Zhou Mao's child. If you want to acknowledge Jiang Quan as your father, that's fine too. Your younger siblings are right behind you. You have nothing to do with my He family."
He Xiaoyun hadn't eaten properly for the past two days. The food in the prison was so bad that she couldn't swallow it at all. She was so weak that she collapsed when Xue Mei pushed her. He Xiaoyun said in disbelief, "Mom, it's me, Xiaoyun. I'm your daughter."
Xue Mei shook her head: "You're not. I only have one daughter, Zhenzhen."
He Zhenzhen, who was next to her, acted as if she hadn't heard what was said. She watched as Jiang Quan's family cleaned up. Jiang Lu, who had never done any housework before, was carrying a bucket and wiping up the dirt that couldn't be cleaned off the floor with a rag.
But what did any of this have to do with her? She just wanted to go back to her books.
He Xiaoyun panicked completely. "Mom, you can't abandon me! I don't want to go to the countryside!"
An elderly woman from the neighborhood office next door corrected him, saying, "You're wrong. With your background, you're not qualified to go to the countryside. You should be sent to a farm for reform."
He Xiaoyun's vision went black and she almost fainted. "Big brother, big brother, it's me, Xiaoyun! Please save me!"
He Yao was extremely disappointed in He Xiaoyun at this moment. He had also eaten lunch in the cafeteria the day before yesterday, and he had almost been blown up. Moreover, if he got involved with He Xiaoyun again, his future would be completely ruined. How could he possibly be soft-hearted towards He Xiaoyun? "He Xiaoyun, I am not your older brother."
He Xiaoyun continued to pester, "Cao'er, I hate you, it's all your fault, why don't you just die?"
But soon, she was whipped with a belt by the little soldier, who yelled, "Get to work!"
He Xiaoyun screamed, "How dare you hit me!"
Little Red Soldier frowned: "You haven't reformed this criminal at all." He slapped the belt again, "It seems this level of intensity is completely unsuitable for you. Let her be paraded through the streets."
He Xiaoyun was carried away by two young Red Guards.
He Xiaoyun screamed, "What are you going to do?"
She was also shackled and chased into the parade.
He Zhenzhen watched for a while longer, then felt it was a waste of time. If her grandmother hadn't dragged her here, she wouldn't have come at all. She said to Grandma He, "Grandma, I'm going home."
Grandma He was overjoyed. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home."
Xue Mei caught up with her, "Zhenzhen, Mom will take you to school."
Grandma He scoffed, "Zhenzhen doesn't need to go to school anymore. She knows everything the school teaches. She'll be working at the military factory in a couple of days. Do you know what a military factory is? It's a place that researches weapons, full of top experts!"
Xue Mei was stunned. "Zhenzhen?"
Grandma He proudly declared, "My Zhenzhen is just like me, a genius! A true genius!"
He Zhenzhen had already walked away. Xue Mei looked at that thin figure and felt a pang of panic. She only had this one daughter.
He Jianshe and He Yao both caught up with them and asked what was going on at the arsenal.
He Yao went to university; he knows everything!
Yujia
This time, the Yu family didn't push forward either. They stood in a high place to look around, so they could see clearly and wouldn't get hit by the dirty things.
It is very safe.
I've actually watched it many times, but I still find it very enjoyable every time I watch it.
In other places, there are bound to be innocent people being denounced, but in Qingshan County, those being denounced are definitely all local bullies!
They suffer not only physical harm but also psychological harm; the victims get their kicks, but the victims also suffer.
This is truly gratifying, a win-win situation!
Yu Jiamin said, "Many of these people will no longer have to be paraded through the streets."
Yu Jiajia: "Are they going to execute me?"
Yu Jiamin: "Execute a group of people, and send another group to the countryside. This Sunday!"
Those around them heard it too, and they didn't know whether to be happy or not. It would be good if they were shot, but it would be a waste to let them die like this. They should suffer like this forever.
After watching the parade, I had to hurry up and get to work.
The commendation ceremony for the "time bomb" won't be until next Monday; we need to give the great heroine, Cheng Xiuying, some time to recover. For such an important event, Cheng Xiuying, as the protagonist, absolutely must attend!
The factory was still making preparations for the educated youth going to the countryside in full swing, but there was something more important going on at the factory today.
Hiring!
Because Zhang Jianguo, Gu Yazhen, and others were removed from their posts for illegally selling steel, dozens of positions became vacant.
With He Xiaoyun's dismissal, there are a total of twelve job positions.
Those who have already registered can also participate.
Going to the countryside and settling down in rural areas to carry out the revolution was important, but working hard in factories and workshops and contributing to industrial production was equally important.
There are restrictions: applicants must be children of steel mill workers, and those whose families have shown outstanding behavior during the time bomb incident will receive additional points at the discretion of the authorities.
The results were announced that same day. Six comrades who had already signed up to become educated youth passed the exam. Among the other five, three of the girls were planning to get married. Now that they had jobs, they didn't have to get married casually and could take their time to make their choices.
With Yu Jiajia's help, today's daily check-in was easily completed: [10 apples + 1 beginner carving skill (1/3)]
[Whole roasted lamb *1 + Beginner carving skill *1 (2/3)]
[8 pieces of cotton and 1 basic carving skill (3/3)]
Carving skills are pretty useless, practically worthless, but better than nothing. Apples and roasted whole lamb, on the other hand, are delicious! Cotton is also quite practical; eight pounds of cotton can make a very thick quilt.
There's too much stuff in my inventory; it would be such a waste to just leave it there.
She's already taken out all the valuable things, shouldn't she take out some other things too?
But she doesn't trust others.
She only trusts the Prime Minister!
Forget it, let's just leave the food there. She's not really in dire need of food.
When Yu Jiajia was leaving get off work in the evening, she ran into Lu Chenzhou and He Yuanzheng downstairs in the family compound.
Both of them arrived by bicycle. Lu Chenzhou had a lot of things hanging on his handlebars: a net bag full of fruit, a piece of fine pork belly, a large rooster, and two pairs of large pig trotters.
This is Lu Chenzhou's second visit.
The first time he came, he brought county leaders with him. He didn't stay long; he left after putting down the gifts and exchanging a few words of greeting.
Lu Chenzhou and He Yuanzheng stepped forward carrying the things. Lu Chenzhou said, "Uncle, Jiajia, we've come to see Auntie. How is Auntie's injury?"
He Yuanzheng also asked, "I heard that Auntie was injured. How is she now?"
"Thank you for your concern. Xiuying is much better now." Yu Hongding parked the car and greeted them warmly: "Director Lu, Chief He, why did you bring so many things? Please come upstairs."
Lu Chenzhou: "Uncle, you can just call me Chenzhou."
He Yuanzheng also said that he could just call himself Yuanzheng.
Yu Hongding naturally wouldn't continue to call him that so awkwardly; they were quite familiar with each other. He smiled and said, "Chenzhou, Yuanzheng, come upstairs quickly."
Yu Jiajia: "Yuanzheng, what brings you back? Where's Songchuan? Isn't he going home?"
Yu Songchuan has been gone for a month or so, and I miss him terribly.
He Yuanzheng: "Songchuan heard about what happened at home and submitted a report to apply to come back. He will arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest."
Yu Jiajia was quite happy.
The four of them went upstairs together, where Grandma Yu and Cheng Xiuying warmly welcomed them. "Oh my, Chenzhou, Yuanzheng, you've come all this way, why are you being so polite and bringing so many things?"
Cheng Xiuying: "Songyan, quickly brew a pot of good tea." She said warmly, "Did you just get back from the expedition? You've lost weight! You'd better eat more later."
He Yuanzheng said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie." He then inquired about Cheng Xiuying's health and praised her as a hero.
Anyway, they chatted warmly and affectionately.
Yu Jiajia also looked at He Yuanzheng. She couldn't tell if he had lost weight or not, but he had gotten much darker!
I guess it's because tanned skin makes you look thinner.
Yu Songyan brewed a pot of green tea and poured a cup for everyone. Old Mrs. Yu washed a plate of grapes, and also packed a plate of melon seeds and a plate of candy.
Yu Jiajia happily shared, "Mom, Yuanzheng said that Songchuan will be back tomorrow!"
Everyone was happy and missed Yu Songchuan, but Cheng Xiuying still said, "What's the point of him coming back? He'll just cause trouble for the army." She then asked about Yu Songchuan's situation in the army.
He Yuanzheng said, "You were injured, and Songchuan was missing his mother. In addition, he also had some things to do here, so he just happened to come back."
They then picked out things that Yu Songchuan could say in the army.
Yu Songchuan had a very comfortable life in the army, eating and dressing well! He even became a junior instructor, specifically responsible for teaching the Five Animal Frolics. Not just anyone can learn it; those who have been exposed to the Five Animal Frolics are all people who have made great contributions.
They were all top soldiers in the army back then.
Yu Songchuan admired the powerful, and being in close contact with these people made him incredibly happy, like a little mouse falling into a honey pot. He taught them the Five Animal Frolics and then asked them to teach him some of his special skills.
Others who learned his skills genuinely treated him like a younger brother. There are no shortcuts to mastering certain skills; you have to endure hardship and even get beaten up.
Yu Songchuan is a typical member of the Yu family: smart, sweet-talking, and good at getting things done. Most importantly, he is hardworking and resilient, able to endure hardship and never complain of pain even when beaten. He has mastered this skill.
Cheng Xiuying said with a smile, "This child has been tough since he was little, and he is also very smart and loves to study."
He Yuanzheng nodded with a smile, "He's smart and quick-witted, with a strong learning ability, and everyone likes him very much."
The kitchen was also bustling with activity. Old Man Yu and Old Woman Yu were helping out. Today it was Yu Jiamin's turn to cook, and Yu Songyan was lending a hand.
Lu Chenzhou noticed several bamboo cups on the table. He thought they were quite interesting, resembling Jiajia's cups. He asked, "Did you make these cups yourself? They're quite elegant."
Yu Jiajia thought Lu Chenzhou had great taste and introduced her new cup, "This was a gift from Xiaoyu, isn't it beautiful!"
She's used this cup before; it's quite good for drinking tea, with a faint bamboo fragrance.
Lu Chenzhou smiled and nodded: "It looks good."
Yu Jiajia: "I think the brigade could make bamboo cups like these, and quite a few people would like them. I even drew a lot of designs!"
“Your idea is excellent; it will provide the team with another source of income. And your drawings must be very detailed.” Lu Chenzhou immediately said, “Can I take a look first?”
Yu Jiajia was very pleased with the praise. She looked at Cheng Xiuying and asked, "Mom, did my older cousin come to pick it up?"
Cheng Xiuying nodded: "They've all been taken. Jiajia's older cousin Yongkang came over at noon today, and I showed him the bamboo cups and gave him the designs Jiajia drew. Yongkang also thought it was a good idea. He'll go back to the brigade and arrange for someone to make a batch first, and then put them at the supply and marketing cooperative to see the effect." She then smiled and said to Yu Jiajia, "Your older cousin said he'll give you a share of the profits as a thank you for the designs."
Actually, Cheng Yongkang thought, why would anyone want a bamboo cup? Many people in the brigade didn't have cups, so they would cut a section of bamboo, polish it, and then they could drink water.
Spending money to buy this cup means you have money to burn.
But Cheng Yongkang listened to Cheng Xiuying. If she told him to give it a try, then he would find someone to give it a try.
Yu Jiajia: "No need."
She's not short of money; she's certainly not lacking in cash right now.
Right now, we have money but can't spend it, so we can only save it up. After the reform and opening up, we will have to convert the money into gold and real estate.
Buy as many houses as possible in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou; buying them is like making a profit.
Lu Chenzhou: "If the quantity is large, we can sell it in the city."
Cheng Xiuying: "Thank you for your support, Shen Zhou. I'll tell Yongkang!"
Lu Chenzhou chuckled: "Yongkang deserves praise for leading the brigade in developing collective sideline businesses. He's a good cadre!"
Cheng Xiuying was beaming with joy: "Yesterday my mother said that life in the brigade is getting better and better. As long as the members are diligent and follow the collective, they can all get dividends. They might save a lot by the New Year! They can build a house next year."
What's most important in the countryside? It's having enough to eat and wear, and living in a few bright brick houses. Once the children are grown up, have their own families, and you have a big, healthy grandson, life will be perfect!
Since Lu Chenzhou took office, the Qingshan County Revolutionary Committee has resolutely implemented the great policies of "grasping revolution and promoting production" and "taking grain as the key link and diversifying operations," vigorously developing collective sideline businesses. All breeding projects, including chickens, ducks, pigs, geese, and fish, have received strong support. It didn't matter if commune members lacked technical skills; the county sent technicians to the countryside to provide guidance and ensure they learned. Any difficulties encountered during the breeding process were to be addressed first by the commune; problems that the commune couldn't solve, the county committee would definitely take care of to the end.
As the living standards of the commune members in Qingshan County improved, everyone felt a deep proletarian affection for Director Lu, praising him as "Chairman's good cadre" who led them onto the broad road of socialism.
In other words, we can't be superstitious now, otherwise many people would secretly erect a longevity tablet for Director Lu, hoping that he would live to be a hundred years old and lead everyone to a better life.
This is because the time frame is short, the effects are not yet obvious, and the changes are not yet significant.
In another year, all the people in the county, like those in Xiangyang Commune, will have enough money to build brick houses.
After talking for a while, Yu Songqing returned. Yu Jiajia said, "I'll go call Sister Qi. Let's eat together tonight."
Lu Chenzhou had mentioned Qi Yan before, which means the two know each other, but it's unclear whether he knows He Yuanzheng.
It's okay if you don't know each other; you'll meet after having a meal together.
Upon hearing this, Yu Songyan, who was assisting Yu Jiamin in the kitchen, immediately said that he would cook two dishes later.
Yu Jiamin rolled her eyes. "You're certainly proactive."
Yu Songyan chuckled: "We do need to be more proactive."
Yu Jiajia went to call Qi Yan, but when she arrived, she found that Sister Qi had not yet left work. Just as she was about to go home, she saw Sister Qi riding her bicycle home. She waved and called out, "Sister Qi."
Qi Yan smiled and waved. After parking the car, she locked it again and carried the four-finger-wide piece of pork belly hanging from the handlebars upstairs.
Yu Jiajia warmly invited Qi Yan to have dinner together, "Brother Chenzhou and Brother Yuanzheng came to see my mom today, shall we eat together?" She then asked, "Does Sister Qi know He Yuanzheng?"
"We've met, you could say we know each other." Qi Yan nodded with a smile. She had originally planned to deliver the pork belly to the Yu family, but upon hearing this, she handed the pork belly to Yu Jiajia and said, "I'll go home and change my clothes and then come over."
She didn't want to visit the Yu family while wearing her work clothes.
Yu Jiajia thought the pork belly must have been bought for her family, since Sister Qi couldn't cook, hahaha. She took the pork without ceremony: "Then I'll wait for Sister Qi at home."
Qi Yan: "Okay."
Yu Jiajia brought a piece of fine pork belly into the house, and was immediately spotted by Old Mrs. Yu. "Why did you bring back a piece of pork belly?"
This looks like it weighs four or five pounds.
Yu Jiajia: "Sister Qi bought it. Sister Qi will be here in a bit." She carried the pork belly into the kitchen. "Second Brother, could you make some sweet and sour pork too? Sister Qi loves sweet things."
Yu Songyan: "Yes, the meat is all cut. I'll make sweet and sour pork later, it's sweet and savory. We also have a grass carp at home, I'll make sweet and sour fish."
Yu Jiajia: "Okay."
She looked at Yu Songyan with a strange expression. Was her second brother being a little too enthusiastic? Although her second brother usually granted her every request, oh no, he granted her every request, even if she didn't ask.
But she wasn't particularly enthusiastic about her friends.
Yu Songyan smiled and focused on cooking.
Yu Jiajia pondered for a moment, wondering if her second brother might want Sister Qi to buy him a watch?
