Director Wang laughed: "Over the years, our commune has always been at the bottom. If we want to be promoted, we should go to those wealthy communes."
Secretary Zhou no longer suspected anything. Seeing someone coming this way, he stood up and said, "Whatever it is, the higher-ups have already made the arrangements. Let's go and meet them."
Seeing someone coming out of the office, Jiang Tang hurriedly said, "Hello, I'm a cadre assigned to the team from the provincial government. My name is Jiang Tang."
Secretary Zhou raised his hand and shook it. "Welcome Comrade Jiang Tang to our Hongguang Commune. My name is Zhou Jianan, and I am the secretary of the commune."
"Hello, Comrade Jiang Tang, my name is Wang Aimin, and I'm the director here."
Jiang Tang didn't expect to see such an important person right after arriving: "Secretary Zhou, Director Wang, I'm new here. I hope you two leaders will support me in the future."
"Of course you should. Comrade Jiang doesn't look very old."
Jiang Tang smiled and said, "I'm seventeen and just graduated from high school."
"You are young and promising. Come on, let's have a meeting. I'll introduce you to the other officials of our commune."
Director Zhou raised his hand and walked towards the meeting room with Jiang Tang.
Director Wang went to the office next door and called the staff to the conference room.
Jiang Tang stood next to Secretary Zhou and did not sit down.
In addition to Director Wang, seven or eight members came in one after another.
Secretary Zhou saw someone coming and introduced them, "Today, I would like to introduce to you our new team leader, Jiang Tang, Comrade Jiang."
"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Tang, Jiang for ginger, Tang for brown sugar. I graduated from high school, and it's my honor to be able to work here with all of you seniors. I'm young and just started working, so if there's anything I'm not doing well, I hope you can give me some pointers."
After Jiang Tang introduced herself, the Minister of Armed Forces asked, "Comrade Jiang, you look very young. How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
Several people in the conference room looked at each other.
Someone said, "You're so young, you must have just graduated, right? You're working as a team leader in the countryside, leading everyone in production? Is that even feasible?"
It was difficult for everyone in the conference room to understand, but when they saw the military vehicle parked outside and the bicycle he brought over, they thought that this young cadre might have a strong background.
Jiang Tang smiled and argued for herself, "When it comes to rural work, I'm definitely not as good as you guys who came before me, but no one knows how to do it right away. Didn't you guys who came before me also have your first time? We all learn as we go. I'll work hard, and I hope that in the near future, I can bring a brand new look to our commune."
Secretary Zhou chuckled and said, "Comrade Jiang is right. Everyone has gone from not knowing how to do something to knowing how to do it. Since he was sent from the provincial capital, his abilities must be quite good."
Comrade Jiang Tang will be a member of our commune from now on, let's all get to know each other."
Since Secretary Zhou said so, they naturally wouldn't say anything sarcastic.
Even if there is, it's just something I grumble about in my heart.
After all, we still don’t know the background of Comrade Jiang Tang.
They won't offend anyone rashly.
Director Wang Demin needs no introduction.
The man in his thirties who had just raised the question stood up and said, "Hello, Comrade Jiang Tang. I'm the head of the armed forces department of our commune. My name is Zhang Weiye."
"I'm the women's director of the commune. My name is Li Cui'e."
"I am Sun Fasheng, property of the commune."
"My name is Zhao Ruiping, office clerk."
"Li Ning, cashier."
"My name is Wang Guibao, and I'm the projectionist at our commune."
"I'm the warehouse manager, Shao Sihai."
Wang Aimin said, "Comrade Jiang, there are still some people in our commune, but they all have their own jobs and rarely stay in the commune."
Wang Aimin pointed to a young man standing nearby and said, "This is Comrade Zhao Ruiping, the office clerk. He's mainly responsible for some of the office's trivial matters. You can contact him if you have any questions."
"Comrade Zhao, I'll be bothering you in the future."
"Comrade Jiang, you're too polite. This is my duty."
"Secretary Zhao, tell Secretary Jiang about the situation in our commune. Also, arrange accommodation for us."
"Comrade Jiang, this is your first day. Let's make some arrangements. Secretary Zhou and I will take you to the two brigades tomorrow."
Jiang Tang nodded: "Okay Director... Secretary Zhao, thank you for your help."
After the two came out, Jiang Tang asked in confusion, "Aren't I going to the village? Why are you arranging a dormitory here?"
Zhao Ruiping explained, "Although we eat and live together, the team leaders often come to the commune for work and most of the time they can't leave on the same day, so we arrange temporary accommodation here. Our commune has six brigades, and the two you're in charge of are quite far away, an hour and a half by bike, and the roads are not easy to travel to."
"Oh." Jiang Tang didn't expect it to be so far, two hours. "Do the other brigades also have team leaders?"
"Before, people from our commune were in charge. Among the six brigades, there were two wealthy brigades, which did not require a stationed team. The other two were managed by two people. One was sent by the county and has been here for two years. He is in charge of Zhangwan Brigade. His name is Zhang Feng. The other was sent by the city and has been here for a year. He is in charge of Zhangliulin Brigade. His name is Ma Shunyi."
As they talked, they walked to a row of staff rooms at the back.
This should be prepared for single members. Married people should be in the family area on the right side of the entrance.
"There are seven rooms in this row. The special envoys from the Armed Forces Department live in these two rooms. Next to them are Secretary Zhang Feng and Secretary Ma Shunyi. Aunt Zhang from the cafeteria lives in this room. She doesn't have many people at home and doesn't have a place to live, so she usually lives in the commune. How about you stay next to Aunt Zhang?"
Jiang Tang looked at it and found it was the sixth room from the left.
When they came, they came from the right, very close.
It was a single room with a kang, a table, a chair, and nothing else.
"Let me help you move your things down."
"OK."
Secretary Zhao and Xiao Zhang went to move things together. When they came back, they brought her a bucket of water and a rag.
I wiped the ginger candy briefly first, thinking of buying a bamboo mat when I have time.
After moving the things, Secretary Zhao took her and Xiao Zhang to the cafeteria.
The canteen is next to the family area. It is not big and has three round tables.
A window shows the bean soup noodles made for lunch.
When the women's director Li Cui'e saw her coming, she hurriedly asked her to sit over there.
"Comrade Jiang, we're not as good as the provincial capital, so please don't look down on us."
"How could that be? Aunt Zhang's noodles are delicious."
Aunt Zhang in the window smiled when she heard the compliment.
There weren't many people in the commune, just a few, and some of them went home for lunch, such as Secretary Zhou and Director Wang.
There were only four or five people in the cafeteria.
Occasionally, family members come to get food.
"Comrade Jiang, I'm new here. If you need anything, please tell me. I've worked here for over ten years, and I know every household in every village by name, but that's not much different."
"Really? Director Li, I want to buy a bamboo mat. Do you know where to buy it?"
