Zhang Qinghua had been acting strangely for the past few days, which Song Lili couldn't bear to watch. In the end, out of sight, out of mind, she kicked him out.
Tell him to go to the courtyard behind the square and, in the office, carefully calculate everyone's work points for the year. The eve of the Lunar New Year is just a few days away.
Zhang Qinghua really didn't want to go, but he couldn't persuade Song Lili otherwise, so he had no choice but to agree.
A man carrying an account book left looking pitiful.
Song Lili breathed a sigh of relief and complained to Zhang Aiai, "Your brother has been acting like he's gone mad these past few days, it's terrifying." As she spoke, she even shook her body.
"Hehehe..." Zhang Aiai was amused by her actions and, thinking about Zhang Qinghua's behavior over the past few days, agreed.
“My brother was happy, that’s why he did that.” However, Zhang Aiai still spoke up for her brother with a conscience.
“Look at all the people in the village who are his age, who doesn’t have children? They’re all running around the village. My older brother is a bit late.”
"That's why she was so happy when she heard she was going to be a father."
Zhang Qingguo was much more direct than Zhang Aiai, scoffing and saying, "I think it's my brother who's gone mad. These past few days, when we go out, everyone's been asking me if my brother is sick."
"However, the thought of having a little nephew in the future makes me happy too," Zhang Qingguo said, chuckling to himself.
Song Lili was speechless.
Looking at Zhang Shengtian in the yard, chopping wood with great enthusiasm and a big smile on his face, Song Lili could only shake her head.
Men's minds are unfathomable.
He seems to have gone mad; he hasn't been behaving normally these past few days.
She tries to stay away from such places to avoid becoming abnormal herself.
"Ai'ai, let's go inside. They're scaring us like this."
Zhang Aiai nodded, also feeling that such a father and brother were somewhat shameful.
Time flies, and soon it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the Little New Year.
On this day, Zhang Qinghua went to the office early. He was the main person in charge today and had to calculate everyone's work points.
However, thanks to Song Lili kicking him out a few days ago, he has sorted things out and just needs to tidy up a bit more.
When Zhang Qinghua had finished his calculations, Li Weiguo and Yang Weimin arrived, along with several team leaders.
"Qinghua, have you finished calculating?" Li Weiguo asked as soon as he came in. "There are already people waiting outside."
"Alright, now we can go out and distribute them," Zhang Qinghua said, standing up with the ledger in hand.
"Now that we've calculated it all, let's go out. Qinghua is meticulous and won't make a mistake. Let's get everyone's money and tickets sooner so they can be happy sooner," Yang Weimin said happily.
"Alright. Let's go." At Li Weiguo's command, the entire family rushed out.
When they went outside, they saw that many people were already waiting in the square, just waiting for them to come out.
"They're out! They're out!"
"It's a bit faster this year than last year."
"They're out now. Hurry up and line up. The money and tickets will be distributed soon."
Everyone got excited when they saw these people come out.
Li Weiguo looked at them with a smile and said, "Alright, everyone, hurry up and line up. I know you're in a hurry, so I won't nag you anymore. Just wait to be assigned in order."
After saying that, he pushed the chair aside and sat down at a table that had been moved out, helping Zhang Qinghua.
This has been the case every year, so everyone is familiar with it and quickly lined up in order from the first to the fifth queue.
Each brigade has its own team; everyone knows that.
"Okay, let's start with the first group." Zhang Qinghua waited for everyone to line up before starting.
First, the work points are checked with the person to see if there are any errors. If everything is correct, then you can press your fingerprint to receive the money and ticket.
Zhang Qinghua checked the documents, and Li Weiguo handed over the tickets and money. In this way, the process was quite fast.
Half an hour later, the whole team was finished.
"By the way, is Mu Shaohua here? I put yours in the first group too, come and collect them."
Zhang Qinghua glanced at the ledger, but didn't see Mu Shaohua and the others. He looked at the ledger again and finally called out.
That way, dividing it according to the brigade makes it easier for him to keep accounts.
Mu Shaohua and his group originally thought they would be last, so they didn't join the queue, planning to wait until everyone else had left before they went to collect theirs.
Unexpectedly, they ended up in a large group, and although they were at the very back, they were still much ahead of the other groups.
"Mu Shaohua, are you there?" Zhang Qinghua called out again.
"Yes, yes..." Mu Shaohua and the others quickly ran over from behind.
"Check your work points. Are they correct? If so, sign them."
They were all cultured people, so they didn't need to put their fingerprints on the paper; a signature was enough.
Mu Shaohua glanced at his own copy and found it matched his memory. He nodded, picked up a pen, and signed, "That's right."
After signing the papers, I went to Li Weiguo's place to get the money and tickets. As for the trees behind, it all depended on my work points.
These few people are here to collect their items. But the others have different expressions.
Overall, it's alright; there aren't any major complaints.
The people of Hongqi Village have always been divided into production brigades. These few people live in one brigade, so they are considered members of that brigade. There's nothing wrong with doing so.
Therefore, even if they feel uncomfortable, they won't say it out loud.
However, there are some people who are so blind as to jump out and try to make their presence known.
"No, they are all people who have been sent down to the countryside. How can they be in front of us? They should be at the very back."
Upon seeing this result, Wang Shan immediately became unhappy and jumped out to shout at Zhang Qinghua.
Everyone was waiting to get their share of the money and tickets, so it was very quiet right now.
Those who had received their money and tickets were busy counting them, while those who hadn't received theirs yet were busy checking their work points.
So, everyone heard Wang Shan's voice, and I looked over as well.
Wang Shan didn't feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she became even more smug, as if she had everyone's support, and looked at Zhang Qinghua with even greater arrogance.
“They are the intellectuals, they shouldn’t be put in front of us. We are the ones who should get the money. What you’re doing is wrong.”
Wang Shan, as if she were God, stood on a high ground to criticize Zhang Qinghua.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how come your face is so big? You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"
"Who do you think you are? Where did you get the nerve to say such things?"
Song Lili never expected that this would be the scene she would see when she arrived here. She saw Mu Shaohua and his group being talked about and Zhang Qinghua criticizing them.
She was just bored at home, so she came over with Zhang Aiai to visit, and also to see Dad and ask about the family situation.
Let's check how the elderly people are doing lately, and see if they need any help.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving here, I saw Wang Shan's arrogant demeanor.
