Chapter 75 The Boiling Willow Forest Brigade
The next day after the military parade, Shuxin and his companions set off for Anshi. Shuxin returned home with full of honors.
While Shuxin was still on the train, everyone in the Liulin Brigade was completely excited.
Let’s go back to a few days ago. That morning, Luo Yue was cutting grass around the village with Grandma Liu when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Luo Yue...Luo Yue...quick, your Shuxin sent you a telegram, take a look at what she wrote. Is it about the competition?"
Captain Liu Shuanggen shouted to Luo Yue from a distance. They all knew that Shuxin was going to Beijing to participate in some competition. Calculating the time, it should be in the next few days.
Liu Shuanggen wanted to know Shuxin's performance in the competition even more than the Liu family and Luo Yue. If Shuxin really achieved good results, their Liulin Brigade would benefit from it, and it would be a brilliant achievement for his career.
Luo Yue put down the sickle in his hand, strode to Liu Shuanggen, grabbed the sealed paper bag in his hand, roughly opened the bag, took out a piece of white paper with words printed on it, and read it quickly.
Grandma Liu, who was following Luo Yue closely, heard Luo Yue's exaggerated laughter before she could ask any questions.
"Haha, grandma, Xinxin won. She got first place, and she got three first places."
"Really? Shuxin won the competition?"
Grandma Liu grabbed Luo Yue's shoulders and asked excitedly. After Luo Yue confirmed it, she looked up to the sky and laughed even more exaggeratedly than Luo Yue.
Now, her waist and legs no longer hurt, and she ran inside while laughing. She wanted to tell the old man and Shuxin's father the good news.
Her granddaughter was really competitive. There were so many people participating in the competition, but she won first place. To use the words before, her granddaughter was the top scorer.
When Liu Shuanggen heard that Shuxin won first place and three first places, he was so happy that he danced with joy. Although he didn't understand what Shuxin was competing for, the indisputable fact was that she won first place. Their Liulin team had Shuxin, so it seemed that they would definitely be ranked among the excellent teams.
Luo Yue looked at his grandmother who was running to tell her family the good news, and then looked at the team leader who was going to inform the villagers about Shu Xin's good results. He didn't know where to go.
Later, the urge to show off all this got the better of him, and he walked happily to the center of the village, where there were idle people gathered together, who would definitely be willing to listen to him talk about Shuxin.
Before the Liu family and the people of Liulin Brigade could digest the excitement of Shuxin winning first place, Luo Yue received another telegram from Shuxin early the next morning.
When they found out that Shuxin had been interviewed and the news would be published in the newspaper, the Liu family went crazy, and the people of the Liulin Brigade went crazy.
They tell everyone they meet how great Shuxin is and how good their relationship with Shuxin is. They try every possible way to build a relationship with Shuxin and only say good things about Shuxin.
Even Shuxin broke the convention and married a weak, white-faced man. In their eyes, they all said that Shuxin was far-sighted and knew to find a man who cared about the family. They tried every means to whitewash Shuxin. Now Shuxin has no shortcomings in their eyes.
The male educated youths at the educated youth point and the unmarried male youths in the village were really jealous of the smiling Luo Yue. How could such a pretty boy get such a good deal?
If Ruo Shuxin became famous in the newspapers, Luo Yue would be successful and show off in front of them every day. They would regret it so much that they were so slow and let Luo Yue take the village beauty away first.
On October 2nd, before dawn, Grandpa Liu, Dad Liu, and Uncle Liu set up a ox cart and headed for the county town. When they arrived, the news hall had just opened.
Arriving at the newspaper hall, Grandpa Liu said generously that they wanted 300 copies of the day's newspaper. The staff in the newspaper hall were shocked by them. What kind of fool would want so many newspapers? 300 copies would cost 10 to 20 yuan.
"Look, this is my granddaughter. She won first place in the military competition and was even in the newspapers!"
Grandpa Liu took the newspaper and found the photo of his granddaughter Shuxin. He happily pointed at the photo of Shuxin and said proudly to the workers.
The worker was startled and quickly took the newspaper to read it carefully. After reading the section about Shuxin, he gave Grandpa Liu and the other two a thumbs up.
"Grandpa, your granddaughter is amazing. She won three first places in the national military competition and even took photos with some important people. She is so amazing and blessed."
"Not only that, she also won the title of the country's No. 1 female soldier king, which is unique in the country. Give me ten copies of her letter. Liu Shuxin's letter is the pride of our county, and we must support her."
The human who came to buy a newspaper heard what they said, and immediately started reading that day's newspaper, and even asked the staff for a few more copies.
Whenever Grandpa Liu and his two companions met an acquaintance on their way back, they would give them a newspaper and boast to them about the fact that Shuxin was in the newspaper.
It was not only Grandpa Liu who did this. Everyone in Liulin Brigade did the same. Every household bought a lot of newspapers and praised Shuxin as the pride of their village whenever they met someone.
She would give a newspaper to those who were close to her and got along well with her. She would chat with those who she didn't have a good relationship with and were not very nice to, smiling and saying "Shuxin" the whole time.
After the publicity from the people of Liulin Brigade and Grandpa Liu, Shuxin's story spread quickly throughout the county, and everyone bought a newspaper to see who was the first person in Xinyang County to be featured in the newspaper.
Everyone was impressed by Shuxin at first sight, especially the female volunteers, who wanted to rush to the scene to cheer for her. Although they could not see Liu Zhi's heroic figure on the field, they had newspapers with Liu Zhi printed on them.
Never underestimate the spending power of female magazines. A kind-hearted person would buy two newspapers at a time. Some people who bought more would give one to relatives and friends, keep one for themselves, and keep one as a collection.
Anyone who read the newspaper knew about Shuxin. Men, women, young and old all over the country were amazed by Shuxin's achievements. Female journalists even wanted to sleep with Shuxin's photo in their arms.
Many female magazines cut Shuxin's photos from newspapers, carefully put them in photo frames, and usually put them where they can often see them to motivate themselves.
Women from all over the country bought up almost all the copies of this issue of the newspaper. Some of them who didn't get a copy even went to the newspaper office to ask them to get more.
Shuxin became famous overnight. When they got off the train in Anshi, many people recognized Shuxin. The situation was completely out of control.
With the help of her teammates, Shu Xin escaped from the crowd in dishevel, while her teammates all became embarrassed.
"The women down here are like tigers. The ancients were right. These tigresses are really crazy."
Liu Haifeng said with lingering fear that these people were not enemies and they could not kill them. But they did not expect that the crazy women were strong women and they were almost wiped out in the crowd.
