Lu Hai suddenly stood up, stared at Xiao Li and said, "She doesn't have a partner, but she has a fiancé. And she's not the captain's daughter, she's my fiancée."
The captain looked at Lu Hai and the embarrassed Xiao Li standing there, and began to explain.
"Xiao Li, Ranran is not my daughter, but the daughter of my comrade-in-arms. She is an educated youth who went to the countryside, and she and Tiantian are good friends. She lives in my house."
Xiao Li looked at Lu Hai who was sitting down, breathed a sigh of relief, and said awkwardly: "Alas, all the good girls are the ones that other people are looking for."
In order to break the awkward situation, Zhang's mother took the initiative to speak.
"Xiao Li, you don't have a partner yet? If you need one, I can introduce one to you. What kind do you like?"
"Auntie, I like beautiful and talented ones."
Mother Zhang looked at Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran while Xiao Li was talking.
"Xiao Li, your request is a bit high. Let me look for it first. When I find it, I'll let your captain uncle notify you."
"Auntie, you better hurry up, otherwise all the good girls will become someone else's target."
"Okay, Auntie will pay attention and try to find the right request."
The captain saw that everyone had finished breakfast and gave the order.
"Now that everyone has finished eating, let's get started. We'll be working soon. Everyone should be here by now. Let's finish the commendation meeting quickly so we can get to work."
After the captain finished speaking, he took Xiao Li and Xiao Wang and walked in front. Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran wanted to follow, but were stopped by Lu Jiang and Lu Hai.
"Tiantian, stay away from that Xiao Li. I feel like he has bad intentions."
"Yes, Ranran, you should stay away from him too. He looks at you like a wolf, with bad intentions."
Seeing the angry Lu Jiang and Lu Hai, Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran quickly made a promise.
"Brother Lu Jiang, don't worry. Xiao Li is not my type. Besides, don't Ran Ran and I already have fiancés? We are not the kind of people who will abandon each other after having sex."
"Yeah, Ah Hai, what are you two worried about? Tiantian and I didn't talk to him, and I think Xiao Li is a bit timid. Looking at you and your brother, I'm a little afraid of you two. You shouldn't come to harass Tiantian and me. Let's go and hold a commendation meeting for Tiantian first."
Zhang Tiantian and Lu Hai pulled Lu Jiang and Lu Hai and followed the captain and the others.
When we arrived at the assigned work area, almost everyone was there. The team leader, Xiao Li, and Xiao Wang took the podium, and it was the team leader who spoke first.
"Everyone, be quiet. Comrade Zhang Tiantian has submitted her article. The person next to you is from the commune. They are here to give Zhang Tiantian a commendation and award. Please welcome her with applause."
After hearing this, the villagers applauded and talked about it, as if they didn't quite believe that Zhang Tiantian had written the article and submitted it.
The villager standing next to Zhang Tiantian also asked Zhang Tiantian directly.
"Tiantian, was it really you who wrote the article and submitted it to the newspaper?"
Zhang Tiantian looked at the people around her who were looking at her expectantly, and answered awkwardly.
"I wrote it, just casually. I'm lucky it got published."
When the villagers heard this, they became excited and expressed their opinions.
"When I get back, I'll ask my son to write it too. If the article is submitted and we have a commendation meeting, it will be so prestigious."
"My grandson will definitely be able to do it. I'll ask him to write it when I get back."
"I'll go back and ask my daughter to write it. She just got into high school, so she'll definitely be able to do it."
"Tiantian, you can even write articles and get them published. When I get back, I'll ask my three grandchildren to write. I'm sure they can all do it."
After hearing this, Gu Ranran winked at Zhang Tiantian, and Zhang Tiantian gave her a look that said it didn't matter.
The team leader, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang discussed it on the podium, and Xiao Li began to speak.
"Everyone, please be quiet. We are now going to start the commendation meeting for Comrade Zhang Tiantian. Please invite Comrade Zhang Tiantian to the stage."
There was warm applause from the audience, and everyone looked in Zhang Tiantian's direction. Zhang Tiantian was about to pull Gu Ranran up to the stage, but Gu Ran didn't follow.
"Tiantian, you're the only one who can win the award, so you should go up there by yourself. It won't be a good influence if I follow you up, so I'll just cheer you on from below."
Zhang Tiantian let go of Gu Ranran's hand and began to apologize.
"Ranran, I'm sorry. I'm used to dragging you along with me in everything I do."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Go up quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
Zhang Tiantian walked up to the podium, and Xiao Wang presented her with a prize: a pen and a notebook. Xiao Li then began to speak.
"Comrade Zhang Tiantian's theme this time is gratitude to parents. Filial piety is the most important virtue. Our parents brought us into this world and worked hard to raise us. We should always honor them first. Our parents raised us when we were young, so we should provide for them in their old age. Comrade Zhang Tiantian's article is a good example for us to learn from. Now, let's invite Zhang Tiantian to read her article."
The moment Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran had discussed before finally arrived, and the team leader handed the newspaper to Zhang Tiantian. Not wanting to feel awkward, Zhang Tiantian said to the team leader, "Dad, please read the article for me. I'm a little embarrassed to read the article I wrote myself."
"Tiantian, why would you be embarrassed? It's just that you need to read it out loud to understand it. I can't help you with that."
Zhang Tiantian held the newspaper and looked at Gu Ranran in the audience with a look of help. The moment their eyes met, they both laughed. They didn't know why they just wanted to laugh.
Seeing that no one could help her, Zhang Tiantian started talking while holding back her laughter.
"I learned today that my article was published. I'm so happy and in a great mood. Hahaha, but this article of mine is a bit touching, so I can't express that feeling clearly. Please forgive me."
Before Zhang Tiantian read the article, she looked at Gu Ranran again. Seeing that Gu Ranran couldn't stop laughing, she couldn't help laughing too, so she turned around and smiled.
Then she turned around and started reading the article. While reading, Zhang Tiantian didn't dare to look at Ranran. Although she didn't look at Ranran, she still laughed three times before she finished reading the article.
After Zhang Tiantian finished reading the article, she looked at Gu Ranran again, but couldn't help turning around and continuing to laugh.
When Xiao Li saw that everyone was laughing, he quickly took control of the situation.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I'm so happy that Comrade Zhang Tiantian's article has been submitted. Everyone should learn from Comrade Zhang Tiantian and respect their parents well, so that they can write such touching articles. Now, I declare the commendation meeting closed."
Xiao Li and Xiao Wang left the podium, and Zhang Tiantian quickly followed suit.
After Zhang Tiantian left the podium, she hugged Gu Ranran and laughed together. Lu Jiang and Lu Hai pulled them apart.
"Tiantian, stop laughing. You two are about to get your sides broken from laughing."
"That's right, Ranran, stop laughing. You've been laughing for a long time. There's nothing funny about this."
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran said at the same time: "You don't understand."
The two looked at each other and continued laughing. But fortunately, the laughter was interrupted by a voice.
"You're so happy that your article was published. You're really an ignorant peasant. You can laugh like this over such a small thing."
