"Our brigade is now the benchmark of the commune. Every time the commune holds a meeting, they always praise our brigade. The only drawback is that our brigade has too many industries and is a bit short of manpower."
Their brigade now has a winery, a brick kiln for producing red bricks, a vermicelli factory, a breeding farm, a livestock breeding station, and dozens of acres of watermelons planted in the summer.
There are now five tractors in the team. In the past few years, they have reclaimed 700 acres of wasteland. All the wasteland allocated to their team has been reclaimed.
With the support of so many industries, the team members wish they could be split into two halves. This is fine in the short term, but if this continues for a long time, Du Shouquan is worried that the team members' bodies will not be able to bear it.
Hearing this, Shen Yunshu lowered her head in thought. She was thinking about how to completely and reasonably resolve the conflict in employment.
Du Shouquan saw that she was thinking about something and didn't dare to disturb her.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the tractor, it jumped from Anshi to Zhou County. Shen Yunshu heard Du Shouquan's stomach rumbling and shouted at Wang Ernao to stop the car in front of the state-owned hotel.
After the car stopped, Shen Yunshu said to the three people: "Get out of the car, it's my treat today, just order whatever you want."
Du Shouquan and Wang Ernao knew Shen Yunshu's temper and jumped out of the car without any hesitation.
However, the frail Du Fuyao lied that he was not hungry yet and refused to enter the state-owned restaurant.
Shen Yunshu saw through what the little girl was thinking at a glance, and said with a serious face:
"Your sister-in-law doesn't need a bite of your food. Get out of the car quickly. We have to continue our journey after dinner."
When Du Fuyao saw that Fairy Sister-in-law was angry, he immediately jumped out of the car and followed Shen Yunshu and the others into the state-owned restaurant.
Shen Yunshu's face is a living trademark in Zhou County and has long been a household name in Zhou County.
Now, everyone in Zhou County knows that the Red Flag Brigade can achieve its current achievements thanks to the beautiful young Shen Yunshu, and it was even reported in the newspapers.
At this moment, Shen Yunshu had just stepped into the door of the state-owned restaurant and was recognized by the waiter before he could even sit down.
The usually aloof waiter saw Shen Yunshu, his eyes sparkled, and he walked towards Shen Yunshu's table enthusiastically.
"Comrade Shen, what would you like to eat? Today we have pork chop noodles, egg noodles, braised pork, rice, and stir-fried vegetables..."
People in Zhou County love noodles. After consulting the three people at the table, Shen Yunshu ordered three bowls of pork chop noodles and one bowl of egg noodles.
Worried that the noodles wouldn’t be enough, Shen Yunshu ordered an extra serving of braised pork.
The waitress collected the money and ticket, and immediately went to the kitchen to ask the back kitchen to prepare the dishes. She also poured a few bowls of water and brought them to Shen Yunshu's table.
It was dinner time and people were coming into the restaurant one after another. The waiters' attention was quickly distracted by the other new customers.
After the waiter left, Shen Yunshu said, “When did the service in state-owned restaurants become so good? I don’t remember it being like this before.”
You know, there was a sign posted in the store prohibiting beating or scolding customers, which means that before the sign was posted, there had been incidents of store clerks beating and scolding customers.
Wang Ernao laughed out loud, and his laughter was so loud that it attracted guests from other tables. Wang Ernao was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth.
Afterwards, when the other customers' attention shifted away from their table, Wang Ernao spoke again:
"Chen Zhiqing, it's not that they're nice, it's clearly because they saw you that their attitude improved. The last time I came to the county to take my wife and son to see a doctor, I had lunch at the state-owned restaurant, and it was this waitress who served me. She looked down on me and treated me with disgust."
Shen Yunshu was a little confused: "Because of me? I don't seem to know her."
Wang Ernao took a sip of water and continued, "You're a celebrity in our commune now. You've even been in the newspapers. Everyone knows you. The commune is also vigorously promoting your deeds in the countryside, trying to set you up as an example."
"I've been with the army for several years, there's no need for that..." Shen Yunshu suddenly felt a little shy about the commune's high-profile publicity arrangements.
Du Shouquan said, "It is necessary. I fought for this from the commune. We must take the honor we deserve."
"Okay then... I'll do as you say..."
The noodles that Shen Yunshu and the others ordered were ready very quickly, and Du Shouquan and Wang Ernao went to the front to serve the noodles.
It was a full bowl of noodles, and even the amount of meat was more than before.
Du Shouquan and Wang Ernao immediately realized that the kitchen had added ingredients and they were benefiting from Shen Zhiqing's help.
Shen Yunshu, who had been sitting in the car for two days, didn't want to eat meat, so she ordered a bowl of egg noodles. The noodles were very chewy and there were a lot of eggs. As for the braised pork, she didn't eat a single bite.
Du Shouquan and Wang Ernao were reluctant to waste it, so they poured the remaining braised pork soup into their noodle bowls and ate it together with the soup.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Shen Yunshu and his companions arrived at the team on a tractor.
At this point, the team members are working in an orderly manner. Before, there were often elderly people sitting under the big locust tree at the entrance of the team, mending shoe soles, but now there is no one there.
When Shen Yunshu asked Du Shouquan, she found out that these old people had all gone to the vermicelli factory to help, which also indirectly confirmed the shortage of labor in the team.
Zhou Lili knew that Shen Yunshu would be back today, so she quickly took Huang Qiaolian to live in the educated youth camp. The bed sheets, quilts, pillowcases and other items were all new.
Shen Yunshu and Du Fuyao stayed in this yard temporarily.
"Fuyao, I'm going to take you around school now. You've never been to school before, so let's start from the beginning. As long as you're diligent and willing to endure hardships, you'll catch up quickly."
Du Fuyao nodded vigorously: "Sister-in-law, thank you."
Classes at school didn't end until five o'clock, so Shen Yunshu took Du Fuyao to school.
Wan Xinyu, who was teaching students, saw Shen Yunshu standing at the door of the classroom with a little girl, and excitedly invited them into the classroom.
“Sister Shen.”
“Sister Shen, I miss you so much.”
“Sister Shen, you are finally willing to come back to see us.”
…………
The little radish heads were excited. They threw down the paper and pens in their hands and rushed towards Shen Yunshu.
The situation was out of control for a while, and in the end it took Shen Yunshu a long time to calm the enthusiastic little radish heads down.
"Fuyao, introduce yourself to everyone." Shen Yunshu looked at Du Fuyao with encouraging eyes.
She was going back to Beijing, and Du Fuyao had to walk the rest of the way on her own, so taking this step was crucial.
Du Fuyao looked at the pairs of bright eyes below, and the tension in his heart instantly dissipated a lot, and then his clear voice floated in the classroom.
"My name is Du Fuyao, and I'll be attending classes with everyone from now on."
