Soon it was the day for Qiu Yuling and her classmates to receive their graduation certificates.
She asked for leave from her unit, took the letter of introduction, and made a round trip like a forced march to get her certificate. She only hurriedly went to see the old man and didn't even bother to look at the 26 bicycle before returning.
When I returned to the unit, I happened to catch a meeting discussing the significance of the cultural movement.
"Comrades, we must resolutely implement the spirit of... and everyone must fully understand the significance of...
Everyone should actively participate with a high sense of responsibility and great enthusiasm..."
Qiu Yuling kept writing, and she wrote down every word spoken by leaders, big or small, in her notebook.
The key points were highlighted for further study of the spirit of the meeting issued by the superiors.
After writing this, she put on the pen cap and, at the signal of Team Leader Xie, handed in her notebook.
"Very good. Comrades who haven't started writing yet, please use Comrade Xiao Qiu's meeting minutes and circulate them for study. Everyone should actively take action..."
Thanks to the fact that they were not well-informed, the wind had only started to blow, but the fire had not yet truly spread. Instead, the cadres in the government offices reacted to the situation before the students and workers.
Despite this, chaos is beginning to emerge.
Xie Chunrong encouraged everyone not to be influenced by the outside world, saying, "In August, the bureau will organize an abacus competition to see who can become an abacus expert.
...You must earn honor for yourselves, and also bring glory to the group and the department."
She spoke of the gains and losses in a well-reasoned and well-founded way, and everyone was eager to join in, saying it was for the collective honor and refusing to mention that they were going for the rewards.
"The first prize was 20 jin of Gansu Province grain coupons and a tin kettle, the second prize was 10 jin of grain coupons and a porcelain basin, and the third prize had no grain coupons but two white porcelain jars with lids.
The department will also offer cash rewards, and this honor will be of great benefit to advanced individuals, so everyone must not slack off..."
Wang Yingxi waited for their team leader to leave, then leaned over to Qiu Yuling and whispered, "Yuling, I'm telling you, the third prize is enough for me. I can have as many teacups as I want. My parents have won plenty of kettles and porcelain basins."
Qiu Yuling glanced at Xier. Her attitude was both a testament to her own abilities and a clear understanding of her own abilities. "Well, she's not too ambitious. She has a basic understanding of herself. She's a rare and good comrade!"
"Hey, you little girl, you even dare to tease your sister..." Wang Yingxi originally wanted to catch Qiu Yuling by surprise, but Qiu Yuling moved like a mad rabbit and even knocked her off balance.
At this critical juncture, the situation outside was in chaos, so they could not go to people's homes for the time being and could not carry out other effective work.
In addition to studying the spirit of the documents every day, I would hold a stack of information papers and count on the abacus.
Not only their group, but other accounting departments have also entered this rhythm.
Then there was the collective recitation of quotations every day, as well as various study documents and spirits. The whole place was filled with panic and everyone was miserable.
Every time she reached this stage, Qiu Yuling would look straight ahead, recite the words automatically, and clear her mind of everything. This could temporarily repair her brain, which had been dizzy from the sound of abacus beads filling the room.
In addition, the propaganda department of their bureau no longer reads articles about good people and good deeds, but instead recites quotations three times a day through the radio loudspeaker at regular intervals and with great enthusiasm.
One time when she was chatting with Zhou Xiaonan, she mentioned Qiu Yuling's yard, saying that it was not suitable to be decorated like this now. After everyone left, she ordered the little tentacle monster to clean up the mess overnight, leaving no evidence at all.
At the beginning of September, Zhou Xiaonan not only joined various sports groups with his classmates, but also mobilized Qiu Yuling.
"Yuling, you should join us too. It's really interesting. I went all the way to Lan City and then to Jing City, and saw all kinds of grand scenes along the way. You must experience it with us.
It’s tiring, but worth it.”
"Sister Xiaonan, I'm working now, so I'm no longer suitable for study tours like yours. It's okay. Tell me more about your experiences along the way, and I'll just treat it as my own..."
"Oh, it's such a shame you can't experience that kind of scene in person. But it's okay, I'm here. But I'm telling you, you have to be careful with your words and actions outside. They are not like they were when they first organized it. My mom doesn't even allow me to go out anymore."
Qiu Yuling refilled her empty cup with tea, "Then focus on your work. It doesn't matter where you work. The form is not important, the thought is what matters. Besides, how can Aunt Zhou harm you?"
Zhou Xiaonan kicked the tree trunk in annoyance, "Hey, you don't understand."
Although she is not a backbone member, she can be regarded as a veteran of the Rocket Team. She has even been received and is a relatively important screw in the team.
Qiu Yuling smiled nonchalantly and followed her lead, "Yes, yes, do you still want to drink? If not, I'll take it. I have to queue up for food later."
Zhou Xiaonan felt that Qiu Yuling was becoming more and more boring. She was not on the same wavelength as him at all. At such a young age, she lived the same boring life as her mother.
However, as long as her partner's mind was not disturbed, she would not bother to waste any more time, and turned around quickly to participate in other battles.
Qiu Yuling didn't lie to her. She really went to collect her share of non-staple food and took it back to Qiu Village.
The last time her mother came, she mentioned vaguely that Li Xiaojuan and her men had destroyed the private plots of everyone in the team, as well as those who raised pigs and sheep, and took them away without saying a word.
