Chapter 6 Commendation



Several days passed.

There were only a few days left before going to the countryside, and Zhou Yian started packing his luggage. First, he packed two quilts weighing eight kilograms. He took one with him and put the other in a space, telling others that it was being sent out.

There was also Liu Hong's clothes. If they were wearable, I'd wear them myself, and if they weren't, I'd grab them. I also stuffed my middle and high school books into the space. They were a bit heavy, so I definitely couldn't carry them by hand.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yian has been making steamed buns these days. There is still a lot of flour at home. It is mainly a dual-income family with a decent income. Zhou Yian searched the kitchen and took out all the flour hidden in the kitchen. He made all of it into big steamed buns and put them in the space.

Steamed buns with braised pork are also delicious, and because of my good relationship with the eldest sister chef, each portion of braised pork is very generous. Now there are 9 portions of braised pork in the space. I originally wanted to save up ten portions, but unfortunately I was greedy and secretly ate half of it myself, and gave the rest to my family as a snack.

Relying on this extra meal, he forced his stepmother to take out some food coupons for subsidies.

Haha, Zhou Yian never does business at a loss.

The past few days, her stepmother and Liu Hong have been annoying her to death, finding new ways to take things from her every day. Fortunately, they won't be here for long.

"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

Zhou Yian put down what he was holding, walked over and opened the door.

It’s Tian Ye, a newspaper reporter.

"Comrade Tian Ye, good morning." Zhou Yian looked at Tian Ye with a smile.

"Good morning, Comrade Zhou," Tian Ye smiled, blushing, "I came here to deliver the newspaper to you. It was published two days ago. I should have come earlier, but I was a bit busy these past two days, so I came back today. And as you asked me to do last time, I developed an extra photo for you."

Of course Zhou Yian noticed that Tian Ye’s face turned red. He didn’t expect that people of this era were so simple and innocent that their faces would turn red after just a few smiles.

"Thank you, Comrade Tian Ye. It's very troublesome for you to deliver it to me. It doesn't matter if it's late or not," Zhou Yian took the newspaper and photos from his hand.

There was a rather conspicuous page in the newspaper, which contained the story of a 16-year-old comrade who was inspired to go to the countryside. Zhou Yian didn't dare to read it again. He felt a little embarrassed when he recalled his own nonsense.

But the photo was taken very well. Under the red "Serve the People" sticker on the state-owned hotel was Zhou Yian's pretty face with a bright smile and infectious energy. Even her simple clothes could not hide her lively face.

"Comrade Tian Ye, I didn't expect you to be such a good photographer. They're really beautiful." Zhou Yian was a little surprised. "You even sent them to me specially."

"That's nothing." Tian Ye was visibly nervous. "Also, our leader said you're an honorable example. We've got a subsidy for you: a notebook and a pen."

Zhou Yian hadn't expected to receive anything else. Being in the newspaper was already an honor. "Then thank the leadership for me. Comrade Tian Ye has worked hard, too. It's almost lunchtime, so I'll treat Comrade Tian Ye to a meal."

After a round of Chinese-style tugging and pulling, Tian Ye couldn't persuade Zhou Yian and had to go to the state-owned restaurant with her. He had made up his mind that he couldn't let Comrade Zhou Yian treat him, as going to the countryside was difficult enough.

When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Zhou Yian generously ordered three dishes, including the braised pork as usual.

Braised pork must be served with rice.

Zhou Yian paid the bill diligently. But he couldn't let Tian Ye pay, as he still needed help.

"Comrade Tian Ye, you've already sent me photos, so I have to treat you to a meal," Zhou Yian said, pulling Tian Ye to sit beside him. "I also want to ask you if you have any extra newspapers."

Although the content in the newspaper is a bit embarrassing, since it has been published, Zhou Yian still has to stock up a few copies. If something happens, I will post them in the newspaper. I have been in the newspaper before, so I have to keep it as a treasure.

"Yes, yes, I brought a few extra copies on purpose," Tian Ye took out about four or five newspapers from his bag and handed them all over.

"Thank you so much, Comrade Tian Ye."

Hahahahaha, Zhou Yian was also in the newspaper, she was laughing wildly in her heart.

If something happens during my time in the countryside, I'll throw the newspaper to them and let them see that I've been in the newspaper, I'm capable, and I've been commended!

"Comrade Tian Ye, you know I'm going to the countryside soon. Could you please give me the address of your newspaper?" Zhou Yian said. "If I have any manuscripts about the countryside, I can send them to you and ask you to help me see if they meet your newspaper's requirements."

"sure."
