She looked calm and looked at the book in her hand.
Song Taomei found it boring because Lin Qiushuang didn't tell her anything.
Recently, Lin Qiu Shuang has had a few more books in her hands, and she likes to read them when she has nothing to do.
Song Taomei took a look and saw that they were all a miscellaneous collection of books, the kind that people would read when they were bored and had nothing to do.
Yes, Lin Qiu Shuang is a very boring person. She doesn't communicate with others much and only cares about Gu Chu Yun.
"Qiushuang, why do you suddenly want to be the village broadcaster?"
In fact, Song Taomei knew everything clearly. Lin Qiushuang didn't want this job at all. She was obviously going there for Gu Chuyun.
But she didn't understand, if she also participated, wouldn't that add difficulties and hardships to Gu Chuyun?
Lin Qiu Shuang raised her head and glanced at Song Taomei with sharp eyes, as if she could see through Song Taomei's thoughts at the moment.
Song Taomei was of course aware that Lin Qiushuang was not as pure, kind, and peaceful as she appeared to be.
She is actually very smart. She is reluctant to do many things herself and she is very careful about her reputation.
Lin Qiu Shuang also dislikes Su Xin Mao, not as much as they dislike and envy Su Xin Mao, but Song Taomei knows that Lin Qiu Shuang just doesn't like Su Xin Mao. For example, when she and Liu Xiaoxi framed Su Xin Mao, she knew their plan.
But she always acted as if it had nothing to do with her and never participated in their plans, but she would not stop them either.
Song Taomei hated people like this. If she couldn't get a lot of benefits from her, she would definitely scold her without any scruples to vent her anger.
Why join?
Of course, only Lin Qiushuang herself knew this. Whatever Gu Chuyun wanted, he would fight for it himself.
If he knew that someone was trying to benefit him without any effort under the pretext of doing good for him, he would be angry.
When I was in school, I often signed up for activities with him.
This way the two people can spend more time together and have more topics to discuss.
After Gu Chuyun knew that she had also signed up to participate, he sent her some reading materials. Lin Qiu Shuang kept these carefully and only dared to take them out when no one was around.
Gu Chuyun takes good care of his things, and Lin Qiushuang takes even better care of his things than he does. She doesn't dare to take them out when there are many people around, for fear that they might get damaged or dirty.
In the evening, Jiang Yinqiu coughed her hoarse throat, and Su Xinmu poured her a glass of throat-clearing medicine, "Okay, you're already great, drink some water to moisten your throat first, otherwise you won't be able to speak when you need to use your throat tomorrow."
Jiang Yinqiu took a sip and it tasted sweet, with a hint of Chinese medicine mixed with the aroma of sweetness. "Thank you, Mi Mi."
Jiang Yinqiu knew that Su Xinmi had found a lot of good things, so she no longer asked her what they were. Su Xinmi could eat whatever she wanted, as it was for her own good.
"I will go with you tomorrow. Be careful of them when you go back today. I'm afraid they will do something weird tomorrow. I also want to see their expressions when they find out who you chose."
"Remember to pretend you have a stomachache when you get home. Make sure you act like it's real."
Jiang Yinqiu and Su Xinmi smiled slyly, Song Taomei and Liu Xiaoxi had put in so much effort, so they would not let them get what they wanted, so they would just let them be happy tonight.
When Jiang Yinqiu returned, she held her stomach and walked with her back bent, saying weakly, "My stomach feels uncomfortable, so I won't eat tonight. You guys eat instead."
After she finished speaking, Liu Xiaoxi and Song Taomei looked at each other and smiled triumphantly.
In fact, Jiang Yinqiu had already had dinner at Su Xinmo's place, and Su Xinmo specifically asked her to say that.
Time soon came to the next day when the selection began.
Jiang Yinqiu woke up very early, as if she was feeling uncomfortable and had not slept well the whole night. In fact, she went to bed early last night, so she woke up early in the morning.
She went to find Su Xinmi and went to the commune together.
Su Xinmi took a leave today because she sprained her ankle and had a stomachache.
Liu Xiaoxi went to inquire about it, and after getting the confirmed news, her mood improved.
When almost everyone arrived, there were not as many people as yesterday, and it was obvious that they had been screened.
"Qiuqiu, don't be nervous or afraid. I'll be watching you all the time."
The village party secretary and the village chief are here, and they will be selected together today.
"Everyone knows that the above attaches great importance to broadcasters this time. Today we will select the most suitable one. There is only one spot. Whoever has the most outstanding ability will get the job."
"Now let's see how good your Mandarin is."
"Everyone, please give full play to your abilities and show us your level."
The first one was a girl from the village. She said a few great words, but her Mandarin was a bit unstandard. The village party secretary and the village chief sighed in their hearts, thinking that she was not as good as the educated youth.
They are from Dashan Village, and of course they hope that someone from Dashan Village will get this enviable and coveted job.
But after hearing this, they also clearly understood that they were no match for the educated youth from the city.
There are very few people in the village who meet the requirements. Education and literacy are very high barriers to entry. Now that Mandarin has come out, there is really no comparison.
Even if the girls in the village could speak Mandarin, they did so with a heavy accent. Liu Xiaoxi and Song Taomei already had proud expressions on their faces.
They all knew that since they had eliminated Su Xinmo and Jiang Yinqiu, there was no way that Lin Qiu Shuang would be able to compete with Gu Chuyun for the job. They had tried to test her yesterday and found that Lin Qiu Shuang had no intention of wanting the job at all.
All that was left was competition between the two of them. They had agreed that no matter who got the job, the money would be split equally every month, and the work points would be exchanged for food, so when the time came, they would have to give some of the food to the other.
But they know that some communes recruit more than one broadcaster. It depends on the conditions. If the higher-ups think the results are good, they will recruit more.
They didn't believe the village chief's words that he would only recruit one person, so they didn't really believe him.
Liu Xiaoxi and Song Taomei went up next. Their Mandarin skills were pretty good, and you could tell from the expressions of the people around them that they performed well.
The two of them looked specifically at Su Xinmi and Jiang Yinqiu. They were squatting in a small corner and their expressions could not be seen clearly.
He looked very uncomfortable, but he still insisted on participating in the selection.
What's the use? Just don't pull it in your pants.
Soon everyone had tried, and only Su Xinmi and Jiang Yinqiu were left.
Su Xinmu pushed Jiang Yinqiu, indicating that it was her turn. Only then did Jiang Yinqiu raise her face, pretending to be in great pain.
Liu Xiaoxi and Song Taomei saw that Jiang Yinqiu was fine, so they walked forward with ease.
The two of them stared with their eyes wide open and their mouths open, not knowing what to say.
