Before Qin Youfu had time to report the improved tractor, the commendation meeting began and several town cadres came.
At this moment, villagers gathered at the dam field in Luoshui Village where grain was dried, and the place was packed. A temporary simple platform was built. After several leaders took their seats, Qin Youfu went on stage to preside over the ceremony.
"Wow, I've never seen so many leaders in my life."
"Where is the Su family's daughter? What reward do you think you will give her?"
"The Su family has really taken the spotlight. Wu Guixiang has been walking around with her nose in the air lately."
There was a lot of noise from the audience, and Qin Youfu raised his hand to suppress it.
"Hello, fellow villagers of Luoshui Village. I'm Captain Qin Youfu. We're delighted to be gathered here today. As you all know, today's theme is to honor the heroic deeds of Su Aimin and Su Qingyun, members of the Su family of Luoshui Village, for their bravery..."
He was speaking in front, and the Su Aimin father and daughter that everyone was looking for were waiting behind the stage.
"Dad, can you stop shaking?" Su Qingyun looked at her father helplessly. Her face was calm, but her legs were actually shaking.
"I can't help it... there are so many people here." Su Aimin didn't want to tremble either.
"Then why don't I go and tell it?"
She could memorize it by listening to her father reading the script every day.
Su Aimin: "That's not necessary."
He leaned forward slightly and glanced at the leaders on the stage. The town mayor and the director of the town police station were all there. These people were probably looking up to Deputy County Mayor Chen Jing for his respect.
Wait, the one sitting in the front row?
"Yunyun, look at that in the first row, isn't that Deputy County Chief Chen?" Su Aimin's eyes widened. Why was he sitting in the audience?
Su Qingyun took a look and said, "It's him."
"Dad, he's the deputy county magistrate. It's normal that he doesn't want to make it public." Su Qingyun disagreed.
"That's right." Although he said that, Su Aimin became even more nervous. Is it really okay to brag about himself in front of the person involved?
Offstage, Chen Jing did come to the scene in a private capacity. Firstly, he didn't want to be too ostentatious, and secondly, he didn't want to put too much pressure on the Su family.
After Qin Youfu finished speaking, it was Su Aimin's turn to speak on the stage. Below the stage, the Su family members instantly sat up straight and looked around proudly.
Zhang Xinlan pulled her mother and said excitedly, "Mom, the third child is speaking."
"I saw it, I saw it." Zhang also raised her head as if she was proud.
Su Aimin stepped onto the stage, took a deep breath, and calmed down. "Hello everyone, I'm Su Aimin. Just a few days ago, my daughter Su Qingyun and I..."
Unexpectedly, Su Aimin finished speaking completely without any stuttering.
The deputy mayor nodded approvingly, saying that if one is not stage-frightened, he will be able to accomplish great things.
"Great!!!" The villagers in the audience clapped their hands until they turned red. This was the honor of their entire village. Just look at the envious eyes of the villagers in other villages.
Qin Youfu took the stage again. "Next, our Luoshui Town Mayor will present the awards to Su Aimin and Su Qingyun. Everyone, applaud!"
"Pa pa pa!" The applause became even louder.
"Here it comes, here it comes, the award ceremony is finally here."
"What kind of rewards will you give?"
"Oh my goodness, the deputy mayor is giving out awards."
Su Aimin and Su Qingyun took the stage. The mayor stood up and handed them a certificate of honor for bravery. He smiled kindly and said, "Keep up the good work."
The secretary handed over the prizes, and the villagers in the audience stared with wide eyes. Thermos bottles, enamel pots, rice, flour, grain and oil...
Wow, so many good things!
Su Aimin's face was broken with laughter. "Thank you, Mayor!"
"Thank you, Mayor." Su Qingyun smiled like a flower.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jing also laughed.
After the commendation meeting, the leaders were not in a hurry to leave. Since they were already there, they decided to inspect the rural work. The villagers followed behind to join in the fun. Chen Jing followed behind the mayor. They looked unfamiliar to each other, but he did not attract any attention.
Su Aimin whispered to Wu Guixiang, "Mom, the one behind the mayor is Deputy County Chief Chen."
What? Wu Guixiang's eyes widened. The deputy county magistrate is here too?
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" she complained. "We should have greeted them. We don't want people to say we don't know etiquette."
"Mom, the deputy county magistrate didn't even let Murakami greet him, so why should he ask us to?" Su Aimin rolled his eyes.
He never thought that saving the deputy county magistrate's child gave him any connection with the deputy county magistrate.
"Then let's go back first. What if the deputy county chief feels uncomfortable looking at us?"
The Su family was excited for a long time, but then they got tired and went home.
Several leaders walked along the ridges of the fields, looking at the heavy corn they bent over and nodded with satisfaction, "The corn harvest is good this year."
"It's okay." Qin Youfu said with a smile.
The mayor looked at a large, bare cornfield and said, "Your village is harvesting corn very quickly. It seems that the harvest is almost finished. Diligence is a good quality, but we must also pay attention to everyone's health. Too much is as bad as too little."
"Of course, of course." Qin Youfu nodded repeatedly, "Actually, it's not that we're fast, it's just that we have a secret weapon to help us."
The mayor was stunned. Chen Jing didn't say anything behind him, but he was also curious.
Qin Youfu suddenly perked up, as he finally had the chance to speak.
"Mayor, look over there." Qin Youfu pointed into the distance.
"Isn't that... a tractor?" The mayor looked at it. "Why is it so small?"
"It looks like the tractor that was eliminated a few years ago." A leader recognized it.
"The leader has a sharp eye, but now it's no longer an obsolete tractor. It's the treasure of our entire village!" Qin Youfu looked proud. He looked at the crowd and called out, "Song Yan, where is Song Yan!"
