Meng Sining finished translating the document today and submitted it on time.
After returning to the office, Director Wang saw that she was idle and had no news assignments for her. He waved his hand and said, "Reporter Meng, Reporter Sun is having a wedding today, and all the colleagues in the department are going there at noon. I heard that you and Reporter Sun have had some holidays. You must have been very busy recently. I will give you half a day off today so you can go back and have a good rest."
Hearing this, Meng Si Ning showed a pleasantly surprised smile on his face and quickly said, "Thank you, Director Wang. I'll be leaving first."
She walked out of the department briskly. Before she reached the main door, she ran into Zhao Qunying. She asked, "Si Ning, Sun Doning and Zhang Han are getting married today."
"I know. I just heard from our director."
"Where's Liu Nian? Is she going too?"
"I didn't see her today. I don't know where she went."
"If she goes, I'll break up with her. Oh, by the way, I've talked to our director about this. Starting next month, we'll buy a batch of vegetables from Jiangtang's commune every week."
"Great, I'll go back and tell her about this and ask her to come see you another day."
"OK."
Sun Doning’s marriage was none of her business, Meng Si Ning went home briskly.
After arriving home, I hugged Ponyo and took her to clean up Xiaobai's nest.
Then I took them both to play in the yard.
Just as I was about to go back to the house, I heard an urgent knock on the door.
Meng Si Ning opened the door and saw Zhang Yimeng standing at the door in a hurry, holding a briefcase in her hand and a bicycle parked behind her.
As soon as Zhang Yimeng saw Meng Si Ning, she complained with a face full of grievance: "Cousin, I really can't stand those two outsiders in my house. They are bossing me around every day. I want to stay with you for a while, is that okay?"
Meng Si Ning smiled helplessly and jokingly said, "Am I not an outsider?"
Zhang Yimeng coughed lightly and said guiltily, "You are my cousin. I promise not to call you by your full name in the future."
"You can live here. I'll pay for the accommodation, but you have to take care of the house's sanitation. Can you do that?"
Zhang Yimeng's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly patted her chest and assured him, "No problem! Don't worry, cousin, I'll take care of all the cleaning. By the way, which room should I stay in?"
Meng Si Ning pointed to the room at the entrance on the first floor and said, "This is the one. Please clean it up."
Zhang Yimeng excitedly dragged her luggage inside. Meng Sining looked at her hurried look, shook his head helplessly, but still followed her in and helped her clean up.
The two chatted while cleaning: "I locked the door of my room when I was at work, and the old lady said she had nothing to do at home, so she helped me clean. Seeing that my room door was always locked, she kindly helped me "open" it.
They said they were just cleaning, but I found my drawers had been moved.”
"Are they also touching my uncle and aunt's room?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, my mom put away all the valuables. I came out to move at noon today. Thank you, cousin, for taking me in. I have to go to work this afternoon. Is there anything to eat?"
"You're welcome."
"We two sisters have no reason to be polite."
"That's not what you said before."
"Oh, who told you to look at me like that before? You despised me, and I couldn't resist."
Meng Si Ning pursed his lips, as if it was like this before: "Okay, from now on, let's live in peace and no one will look down on anyone else."
"We've made a promise to each other for a hundred years and we won't change it."
At noon, Meng Si Ning steamed a pot of rice, some stir-fried vegetables, and a steamed fish.
Originally, she and Lin Xiaodi couldn't finish these two dishes, but now that her cousin was with them, they finished them all.
Zhang Yimeng was very satisfied with the meal: "Cousin, you can actually cook."
"I didn't know how to do it before, but now I can. Come here and help me clean up."
Zhang Yimeng quickly helped to clean up the dishes.
Lin Siyun also followed into the kitchen with a bowl in hand: "Sister, does cousin Zhang want to live in our house?"
"Yes. She's in trouble now and has nowhere to go. Let's take her in for a while."
Zhang Yimeng retorted, "What do you mean by your home? This is my cousin's home."
"That's my sister, you're her cousin."
"You still..."
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel."
Zhang Yimeng said with a guilty conscience: "Okay, cousin, sorry to bother you."
Meng Si Ning looked at his younger brother's angry eyes, pushed him and said reluctantly: "You can live here, but I'll leave the cleaning to you."
"Are you two siblings sure you didn't discuss this beforehand?"
...
Jiang Tang was inspecting the progress of the chicken farm's fence construction in the village that morning, but she discovered that Zhang Pengguo hadn't come to work on the fence in the past two days. Puzzled, she approached Luo Xingmin and asked, "Comrade Luo, why isn't Zhang Pengguo here to work? The fence isn't finished yet."
Luo Xingmin paused, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and explained, "Secretary Jiang, the old secretary has asked him to do some publicity. Now all the brigades have started promoting the autumn market, and they're very busy." Jiang Tang was intrigued when she heard this and asked, "Oh? How are they promoting it?"
Luo Xingmin spoke enthusiastically, "The Liulin Brigade directly found an old man who can write calligraphy. He has been writing flyers at home recently. Then they asked the children in the village who were on their autumn busy season holiday to run to nearby villages to distribute them.
The old secretary of Shaluo Village took advantage of the busy farming season to ask the daughters-in-law in the family to go back to their parents' home in batches, and took the opportunity to publicize the news about the farmers' market.
We can also keep up with the times. The old secretary asked Zhang Pengguo's grandfather to write leaflets and sent Zhang Pengguo with the children in the village to the county. He would distribute the leaflets to every village he came across and also spread the word to the villagers verbally.
After arriving in the county, we distributed the money to every factory, unit, and street where we could. Not only in Youcaoling, but also in the brigades of Zhangwan, Shilin, and Hongguang, we were all doing it ourselves.
After hearing this, Jiang Tang nodded continuously, secretly admiring the methods of the old secretaries.
At this time, the publicity efforts in each village are extremely efficient.
But the most important thing is to attract people from the city.
Jiang Tang thought that he couldn't fall behind, so he went to the old secretary to ask for a few hundred flyers, intending to distribute them in the city to expand the influence of the farmers' market.
As soon as I arrived at the commune, I happened to meet Director Wang who looked worried and hurried, not knowing where he was going.
Jiang Tang stepped forward and asked with concern, "Director Wang, what's wrong with you? You look so worried." Director Wang sighed and said, "Oh, Director Jiang, the granary still has a batch of old grain that hasn't been sold, and the new grain will be stored soon. This is worrying me to death."
Jiang Tang asked curiously, "What kind of old grains are these?"
Director Wang said helplessly, "There are thousands of kilograms of wheat and corn, as well as peanuts and soybeans. The quantity is quite large."
"What about the county grain and oil depot? Don't you want it either?"
