Many villagers gathered in the big square in front of the village committee.
Just now the team leader used the radio to ask everyone to leave work early and gather here, saying that there is something to discuss.
The last time we gathered together like this was to hold a meeting to criticize the Ruan family.
What are you going to do this time?
Everyone was confused, but no one knew exactly what was going on. So people who knew each other gathered together in groups of three or four and started talking to each other.
"Hey, do you think you're going to criticize someone again this time?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard that anything happened these days. I don't think it's possible."
''Do you know any news?''
"I don't know either."
''······''
"Mianmian, here!" Wu Huimin arrived early and grabbed a seat in the front row. When she saw Ruan Mianmian coming, she quickly stood up and waved to her.
Ruan Mianmian heard the call and walked over with a smile.
"Why are you so late? I thought you arrived earlier and I've been looking for you here for a long time." Wu Huimin pulled Ruan Mianmian over and sat in the seat she had reserved earlier.
"Where's Xiaohua? Why hasn't she come yet?" Wu Huimin also saved a seat for her.
"She'll probably be late." Ruan Mianmian knew that Xiaohua was frantically rushing to deliver the goods these days.
Part of it is for Ding Rong, and part of it is just in case as stock.
"Oh, okay. I'll keep that seat for her, so she doesn't have to squeeze outside when she comes." After saying that, Wu Huimin moved her butt further out to take up more space.
"Do you know why the captain called everyone here?" Wu Huimin was also very curious.
"I know, I know." Chen Zhao's voice came quickly, and his people also squeezed over.
The seat that Wu Huimin had just intended to leave for Xiaohua was taken by him. Wu Huimin was squeezed so hard that she almost fell down.
I wanted to say something to him, but when I thought of what he just said, I held it back. After adjusting my sitting position, I asked, "What do you know? Tell me."
Chen Zhao glanced at Ruan Mianmian and said, "Comrade Ruan also knows about this."
"What?! Why do I feel like you all know and I'm the only one who doesn't know?" Wu Huimin instantly felt like she was abandoned.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "I haven't seen you much recently, so I didn't tell you. The captain will tell you today. You just wait and listen. Anyway, it's a good thing."
"Good news, okay, then I'll have to listen carefully. I really need to hear some good news to change my luck now."
Ruan Mianmian was about to speak when she heard the captain's voice.
"Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" the captain shouted with a broken loudspeaker.
As he shouted, the scene gradually became quiet.
The team leader stood on a stool and looked around. Almost everyone who was supposed to come had come. When he notified the people, he said that every household had to send at least one representative.
But given the current situation, I guess many families have brought their entire families out.
"Ahem, well, I think almost everyone has arrived. For those who haven't come yet, we won't wait any longer. Let's finish talking about things earlier so that everyone can go home and eat earlier. The village committee doesn't provide meals."
As the last sentence was said, many people at the scene laughed.
The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
"Captain, why are you making such a big scene today?" Someone who couldn't wait asked. The sound was so loud that no loudspeaker was needed, and everyone present could hear it.
"Of course it's a good thing," the captain said with a smile.
After hearing the good news, those who were worried about criticizing others calmed down. People who were close to me started to grumble again.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me." The captain cleared his throat and continued, "Our Xiangyang Brigade is going to set up a processing plant!"
After these words were spoken, the whole place suddenly fell silent. Then it became noisy again.
Those who understood were all excited. If a processing plant was to be set up in this village, that meant there would be jobs.
It's so hard to get a job these days. Many people in the city don't have a job. Not to mention people in the village. If you spread it out, there might not even be one job in a whole brigade.
Of course, more than half of the people did not understand.
They don't understand what the processing plant has to do with them. How can this be considered a good thing for them? Their thoughts are basically all about the land. Good things related to the land are good things for them.
"Quiet!" The captain felt his throat hurt from shouting, but he was happy inside. "How can I continue my speech if you guys are so noisy?"
"I'm talking to you guys! Stop talking and listen to the captain. You guys are making so much noise, how can anyone hear what the captain is saying?" A young man stood up and started to scold everyone who was speaking.
He really needs a job now. With a job, he can talk to his wife and doesn't have to listen to his mother's nagging all day long.
Now he gets angry with anyone who interrupts the captain's speech.
After waiting for a long time, the noisy sound gradually died down.
The team leader then explained the whole story of setting up the processing plant, and focused on the role and contribution of Ruan Mianmian in the matter.
Wu Huimin gently bumped Ruan Mianmian's shoulder and smiled softly, "You can do it. You can do something big behind my back."
Ruan Mianmian pushed back and said, "Can you please stop being so ambiguous? How can I tell everyone about this before it's done?"
Wu Huimin thought about it and it made sense, then said, "Forget it, I forgive you, but you have to treat me to a meal later."
Ruan Mianmian made an OK gesture to her.
Others were also very surprised to hear about Ruan Mianmian. Many people looked in her direction. There was surprise, relief, jealousy and disbelief in their eyes.
Ruan Mianmian accepted all these looks. Since she had done this, she had already thought about these things and just looked at them casually.
Some people looked at the expressions of the other members of the Ruan family, trying to read something from their faces, but they found that the people of the Ruan family had no expression this time, but instead had smiles on their faces.
This is strange. Didn't Ruan Mianmian say that she and the rest of the Ruan family had already stopped talking to each other? But now it doesn't look like that.
