As soon as a few people got off the car, Chen Youguo and Liang Yuan went to greet them.
"Youguo, this is Secretary Chen from the city. He came here specially to deliver the good news." Li Shuyuan pointed at Chen Weida.
Upon hearing this, Chen Weida was the first to extend his left hand, "Comrade Chen Youguo, congratulations!"
Chen Youguo excitedly shook his hand back, "Congratulations, congratulations. This is not only a great event for Zhujiawan, but also a great event for Daqian Commune and Sanshui City."
Chen Weida smiled and nodded, then looked at Liang Yuan beside him, "Is this Comrade Liang Yuan?"
Liang Yuan glanced at Chen Youguo, then tried to look excited, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Secretary Chen."
Chen Weida smiled and shook her hand before saying, "Comrade Liang Yuan, you have brought honor to the city this time. Secretary Yang asked me to express my sincere congratulations to you and reward you 80 yuan on behalf of the city. Congratulations on being admitted to university and thank you for coming to our Sanshui City to support rural construction." After that, he handed over a big red envelope.
Liang Yuan took it with both hands and said in an even more excited voice: "Since we came to Zhujiawan, whether it is the city, the commune or the brigade, they have all given us educated youth great spiritual help, and have allowed us to be more closely united with the broad masses of working people, and learned a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned from books. And since the college entrance examination was resumed, the commune and the brigade deliberately reduced the labor tasks in order to give us time to study, which enabled me to be admitted to university. If I really have to thank someone, I have to thank Secretary Yang and you, thank Secretary Li and the elders and folks of the brigade." After she finished speaking, she bowed to everyone.
Li Shuyuan, who was listening nearby, was grinning from ear to ear. As expected of a university student, he had such a high level of awareness!
The onlookers around joined in the fun, cheering and some even applauded.
At this time, Zhu Youliang and the others had also arrived nearby. When they heard Liang Yuan's words, Ergou couldn't help but whisper, "Youliang, your wife is really good at talking. Look at how Secretary Li is smiling. She's so happy."
Chen Weida was just about to ask Zhu Youliang when he heard someone outside shout, "Youliang is back."
Chen Weida looked at the dispersed crowd and saw a young man with a dusty face.
Yang Niannian heard the shout and turned her camera over. She had already checked beforehand: this was another college student, a native of Zhujiawan, so she snapped the photo without a second thought. This was a true Sanshui City graduate. His image was also good: a typical farmer's son, a prime example of a promising young talent.
Third Grandpa glared at the person who had just shouted. He was covered in dust after walking all the way back. It would have been fine at other times, but this was in front of a high-ranking official. That girl might have been holding a camera; this was embarrassing. Thinking of this, he grew even more angry and continued to glare.
Seeing that Zhu Youliang was a little confused, Chen Youguo waved at him and said, "Youliang, come here quickly."
Zhu Youliang then walked over and looked at Li Shuyuan, whom he knew; he was the secretary of the commune.
Li Shuyuan pointed at Chen Weida and said, "You have grain. This is Secretary Chen. He's here to congratulate you on behalf of the city."
Zhu Youliang quickly extended his hands: "Secretary Chen, hello, hello."
After Chen Weida shook hands with him, he said, "Comrade Zhu Youliang, congratulations on your excellent result of ranking eighth in the province and first in the city in this college entrance examination. On behalf of Secretary Yang and the city, I would like to express my sincere congratulations to you. I will reward you with 100 yuan. I hope you will keep up the good work and achieve better results." After that, he took out two big red envelopes.
Zhu Youliang quickly stated, "Please rest assured, leaders, and Secretary Chen, I will continue to study hard and strive to achieve academic success soon so that I can give back to my hometown."
Li Shuyuan hadn't known they were a couple until he heard someone talking nearby. He quickly walked over to Chen Weida and said, "Secretary Chen, it's all my fault for not doing my job carefully. I only heard the members talking and realized they were not only a couple, but also had two siblings in high school."
Yang Niannian's eyes lit up, thinking that she would go to Zhu's house after the meeting and interview Comrade Zhu's parents.
"Could it be that he has a family tradition of learning? Who is Comrade Zhu's father?" Chen Weida asked, somewhat puzzled. Wasn't he said to be a farmer's son? Having three scholars in a family wasn't unusual, but it was unusual in the countryside. These days, people barely have enough to eat, so few are willing to send their children to school. Besides, after the previous incident, everyone is somewhat resistant to education. Zhu Youliang is already married, so I imagine his brothers and sisters should be quite old.
Li Shuyuan glanced at Chen Youguo, who understood and hurried forward to explain, "This old Zhu is just like me, an old farmer. He didn't receive much education himself, but he attaches great importance to his children's education. As long as the children in his family are old enough, he will send them to school to try, even the girls are no exception."
Li Shuyuan struck while the iron was hot and said, "Secretary Chen, do you think we should meet with Comrade Zhu's father?"
Chen Weida glanced at the crowd and said, "Is it convenient? Why don't we go to the old comrade's house and have a chat?"
"No need, they're all here." Chen Youguo said, and called out to the crowd, "Old Zhu."
"Hey." Old Zhu was pulled out by everyone a long time ago. He came late, so he stood at the outermost edge.
Chen Weida rushed over to shake Old Zhu's hand and said cordially, "Old comrade, you have worked hard. Thank you for training such an outstanding university student for the country."
"Oh, oh...it's not hard, it's not hard. The child worked hard, and the teachers at school took great pains. I didn't do anything," Old Zhu said tremblingly. He had never been so noticed in his life. In the past, many people laughed at him for his child's education, but today he could finally hold his head high.
