"My baby is amazing."
"Once your interview is published in the newspaper, we'll keep a copy for ourselves, frame it, and hang it in our home."
"Okay, sure."
They'll probably take another picture of me, to keep for our descendants to see.
Han Yongmei returned just as the couple were talking.
"Aunt Yongmei, how is she?"
Han Yongmei clapped her hands with a smile.
"I think there's a very good chance this time."
The team leader and the accountant will discuss it and then tell me.
Actually, I didn't open it for myself; I wanted to give my mother-in-law something to do.
She can't do farm work, but she can still collect money and sell things; otherwise, I'm afraid she'll overthink things every day.
Zhuang Zhimeng sensed there was more to this than met the eye, but she didn't ask.
"Then we'll go back for dinner first. I hope you can open your convenience store as you wish."
"I'll take Zhuang Zhiqing's good wishes as an example."
On the way back, An Qingbai told his wife about Aunt Yongmei's mother-in-law.
“Aunt Yongmei’s father-in-law went to the battlefield a long time ago and has not returned.”
I don't know if they are alive or dead, and no letter has been sent back.
Aunt Yongmei's mother-in-law had to take care of the whole family, which ruined her health.
But no matter how her health was, she still insisted on sitting at the village entrance every day waiting for her husband to return, and she waited for more than ten years.
I don't cry anymore, and I talk less.
I've never seen her speak in my entire memory.
Zhuang Zhimeng thought about it.
"Then I know who it is."
I always thought she was just not good at talking; she didn't show any expression when she saw me.
I always sit silently by the big tree.
The pain of losing her lover has probably caused her to close herself off emotionally and no longer want to communicate with others.
If the convenience store opens and she's allowed to sell the goods, maybe she'll be willing to talk to people again.
"Hopefully it can be opened."
"Hmm, where is Aunt Yongmei's husband?"
“Aunt Yongmei’s husband went to join the army. He wanted to find his father, and he hasn’t come back for several years now.”
"Sigh, there's been no news for over a decade, the chances of finding them are slim."
"Yes, this has become an obsession of Aunt Yongmei's mother-in-law."
The couple both sighed.
Two days later, the village began installing utility poles.
Zhuang Zhimeng also accepted an interview with the newspaper.
He praised the team extensively, but not in an exaggerated way; he praised them within reasonable limits.
Unexpectedly, the first person to notify her that she was in the newspaper was her father.
Zhuang Xingzhou called her as soon as he saw the newspaper.
"Haha, Ya Ya, you're in the newspaper, did you know?"
"Dad, how did you know so quickly?"
"Your mother and I arrived at your second brother's place yesterday. Isn't it normal to see newspapers while in the army?"
"How is my second sister-in-law?"
"She's about to give birth, in the next few days. She's already been admitted to the military hospital."
"Remember to let your second brother tell me when your second sister-in-law gives birth."
"Okay, I'll definitely tell you."
"Remember to take a copy of the newspaper back for Grandpa, so he can read it too."
"Of course, I have to show it off to your grandpa."
"Haha, Dad, be careful on your way home."
"Yes, don't worry."
Zhuang Zhimeng hung up the phone and asked An Baogen.
"Uncle Baogen, hasn't the newspaper been delivered yet?"
"It should be delivered soon, you can go back and do your work."
"I'll have Qingbai come and pick it up when it arrives."
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Zhuang Zhimeng returned home and continued embroidering the pattern. Several people had officially begun embroidering on the fabric.
Zhuang Zhimeng looked at everyone's progress.
"We don't need to rush. Let's take it slow at first, and the speed will naturally increase as we get more familiar with it."
The other six echoed.
"Understood, Teacher Zhuang."
"Hehe, you guys continue."
"Okay, Teacher Zhuang."
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and began to embroider earnestly.
An Qingbai brought the newspaper back when he finished work.
“Honey, look at your photo, it’s so big.”
Zhuang Zhimeng snuggled up to her lover to read the newspaper together.
"Hmm, it's alright, not too much was cut."
All the people praising themselves for being good at feeding pigs are here.
I praised the brigade for deleting so many files, and I also praised Uncle Baogen for his effective leadership; none of that is on the list.”
An Qingbai smiled and pointed to one of the sentences.
"Isn't this there?"
An Baogen, the captain of the Anyang Brigade, valued every educated youth who came to work in the countryside.
This will allow the educated youth to apply what they have learned to rural development.
"Alright, since we've got the meaning, let's frame it."
"good."
An Qingbai took the already made photo frame, cut and fixed the newspaper, framed it, and hung it on the wall.
Two days later, the wiring was finally installed.
That night, An Baogen excitedly pulled on the light cord in the brigade headquarters courtyard.
"I've already opened it."
The villagers who were watching shouted excitedly.
"open."
Anbo Gen pulled down the light cord.
Suddenly, the entire courtyard of the brigade headquarters lit up.
An Baogen was quite happy.
"Great! Our village finally has electricity!"
The villagers kept clapping and shouting.
"good."
Shi Meiling greeted everyone with a smile.
"Come on, let's all go to my house to watch TV, let's be a little more sophisticated."
Several families who were on good terms with Shi Meiling followed her directly, while those who weren't on good terms with her were too embarrassed to go with her.
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai exchanged a glance and quietly went home.
