Jiang Wanyue and Principal Zheng walked to the school gate to greet them.
But I saw that the commune cadre had already come in and was standing in front of the newly painted mural, looking at it.
It was a woman in her thirties with short hair and very capable dress. When she saw someone coming, she turned around and smiled: "You must be Teacher Jiang, hello, I am the director of the commune's propaganda department, my last name is Yao."
Jiang Wanyue extended her hand and shook it: "Hello, Director Yao."
"Teacher Jiang's paintings are really good." Yao Ling pointed at the murals and said, "If I had known that there were such talented people in our commune, why would I have spent money to hire someone else to paint!"
Principal Zheng said with a smile: "Director Yao came here specially, what's this?"
"I'm here to congratulate Teacher Jiang!" Yao Ling was all smiles. "Teacher Jiang's paintings were published in the provincial capital's daily newspaper yesterday. When the city called us today, our secretary had no idea what was going on. It wasn't until the newspaper was delivered that we realized that a teacher's painting from our commune was selected for publication in the provincial capital's daily newspaper. This is great news for our commune!"
Principal Zheng's eyes widened instantly.
Earlier when Xiao Jiang went to the county post office to mail his paintings, he didn't take it seriously.
Who would have thought that it would be published in the newspaper.
Jiang Wanyue smiled with her lips curved.
She has the painting skills and the vision of future generations. As long as she does not go against the political direction of the era, it will be easy for her to stand out.
Her goal was to earn money from royalties so that she could eat meat and wear nice clothes with a clear conscience.
"Teacher Jiang, the manuscript fee from the provincial capital daily has also been sent over, eight yuan." Yao Ling said with a smile, "Our secretary said he wanted to talk to Teacher Jiang in person, is Teacher Jiang free now?"
It was lunchtime, Jiang Wanyue asked Song Huaizhi to go back and cook, and then followed Yao Ling to the commune.
Yao Ling rode the commune's bicycle here, and Jiang Wanyue sat on the back seat. After about ten minutes, they arrived at the commune gate.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she met Tang Guohui, who was driving a tractor. She greeted him enthusiastically: "Hello, Brother Tang."
Before she had her own car at the fishery, she had to deal with Tang Guohui again and it would be a good idea to have a good relationship with him.
"Congratulations, Teacher Jiang!" Tang Guohui hung around Secretary Qin all day, so he naturally knew the news. "The Secretary has been waiting for Teacher Jiang for a long time, come in quickly."
Jiang Wanyue nodded and followed Yao Ling into the secretary's office.
"Teacher Jiang, please sit down." Secretary Qin said warmly, "This is yesterday's daily newspaper from the provincial capital. It was just delivered to the commune today. Teacher Jiang should not have read it yet, right?"
Jiang Wanyue thought to herself that she had never seen a newspaper since she came to this era. It was not because she could not afford it, but because there was simply no place to buy it.
She took it with both hands quickly. The cover was actually her painting, which was about the scene on the threshing ground of Xiaojing Brigade. The core of the news on the cover was the late rice harvest of each commune brigade this year. She happened to draw a picture and sent it over at this time. It was like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, so it was requisitioned. In the lower right corner of the painting, there was a small line of words written, "Jiang Wanyue, Xiaojing Brigade, Hongqi Commune, Lianhu County".
"Teacher Jiang's paintings are very inspiring, which is also the main reason why the provincial newspaper requisitioned them." Secretary Qin said with a smile, "After the city leaders knew that this painting was a scene of our Hongqi Commune, they all called to ask about it. Teacher Jiang made our Hongqi Commune also become famous."
Jiang Wanyue said modestly: "Luck, it's all luck."
She was wondering when to give her the royalties. This was the first time she had received royalties in her entire life, and she felt a little excited.
"Teacher Jiang, have you ever thought about making a career on a bigger stage?" Secretary Qin looked at her with admiration. "Are you interested in the position of the commune propaganda department secretary?"
Jiang Wanyue looked surprised.
The secretary looked for her to arrange a job for her?
She was about to speak when Secretary Meng came in and said, "Secretary, Secretary Tian from Xiaojing Brigade is here and said he has something important to tell you."
Secretary Qin smiled and said, "I'll have a chat with your branch secretary. Teacher Jiang is just thinking about it."
After a while, Tian Youliang came in.
He immediately saw Jiang Wanyue sitting next to him. He felt a little strange, but it did not stop him from doing his job. He took out a document and handed it over: "Secretary, our brigade has established the Xiaojing Fishery. This fishery has seven large fish ponds and needs someone to be responsible for management. Our brigade discussed it internally and decided to add a deputy branch secretary position to specifically manage the fishery. I came to the secretary to apply for approval."
None of the brigades in Hongqi Commune had the position of deputy branch secretary, because there were so many things to do in the brigades that it was really unnecessary.
Secretary Qin took the document and looked at it for a while. He had sufficient reasons and indeed had no reason to object. He asked casually, "Has the candidate for the deputy branch secretary been decided?"
"Isn't he sitting in the secretary's office?" Tian Youliang said with a smile, "Our team's fish can only be sold because of Teacher Jiang. Teacher Jiang went back to the provincial capital this time and brought back a guide to fish farming technology for the team. Teacher Jiang is dedicated to the fish farm and is the best candidate."
Jiang Wanyue really didn't expect that Tian Youliang would actually give her the position of deputy branch secretary. This was full delegation of power and full trust in her.
Secretary Qin just picked up the seal, then put it down in an instant, looked at Jiang Wanyue, and said with a smile: "Secretary Tian is more generous than me. I only gave him a clerk position, but Secretary Tian immediately gave him the position of deputy secretary. I really want to know how Teacher Jiang will choose."
Tian Youliang opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
He was wondering why Jiang Wanyue was sitting in the secretary's office. It turned out that the secretary was trying to poach people!
