This statement was so exaggerated that the villagers watching laughed.
When they saw the big red flower on Xiao Jiahua's chest and the personal escort of Mayor Liu, they couldn't help but wonder what achievements this young wife had made to deserve such a big fuss.
Especially thinking back to the rumors about her going to the border and Liang Zhiqing some time ago, everyone's faces were somewhat obscure and difficult to discern.
Zhao Fuda also came forward, "Xiaoxiao, good job! Mayor, you have all worked hard. The good wine and good meat are all reserved for you."
Mayor Liu said, "No hurry."
The secretary handed over an envelope. Mayor Liu opened it, took out two sheets of letter paper, and read them in a rhythmic manner in front of all the villagers.
"Comrades, this is the letter of praise that the county leaders personally sent to Comrade Jiahua of our town and our village school..."
Xiao Jiahua: “…” What other surprises are there that she doesn’t know about? Can you release them all at once?
Mayor Liu cleared his throat.
"Manager Xiao Jiahua of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Director Tong Qifang of the National Cotton Mill took great pains to travel to the border to purchase the most advanced 'Air Force One' long-staple cotton in the country for Taifeng County, making a great contribution to the development and progress of the county's fabric and textile industry!
"Comrade Xiao Jiahua has brought honor to the county, the town and the village. She is a model among the working people and a role model among female comrades. We should learn from Comrade Xiao's spirit of selfless dedication and hard work, and emulate her!"
Mayor Liu's performance of "Letter of Commendation" was too exaggerated. Xiao Jiahua couldn't stand it several times and was so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground.
But in her palms, the two little cubs were listening very attentively. Pride, honor and admiration were all over their faces, and Xiao Jiahua was also infected.
As long as the two of them are happy.
After Mayor Liu finished reading the letter, Village Chief Zhao and the villagers all applauded spontaneously.
Mayor Liu: "Next, we invite Comrade Xiao Jiahua to say a few words to everyone. Please welcome him with applause!"
Xiao Jiahua thought about it, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and asked everyone to be quiet.
"My fellow countrymen, first of all, thank you for coming to welcome me today. Actually, for this business trip, I have to rely on Director Tong Qifang of the National Cotton Mill. I am just doing my job wholeheartedly.
"Many of the elders in the station have watched me grow up. I was able to leave Qinghe Village, work in the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, and then be transferred to the county town as a manager. Every step was inseparable from everyone's help. What is the character of our school Jiahua? You should all know it very well.
"I believe that in the future, more young people, especially young girls, will leave the mountains and towns and work in the cities, and they will definitely be more outstanding.
"So I also hope that if you hear nonsense in the future, you can improve your ability to distinguish, and don't just believe everything you hear, which will wrongly accuse others and hurt children."
At this time and place, no matter whether it is right or wrong, you must continue to speak, say more, and say it louder. At least you cannot lose in momentum.
䀴Even a dumb person could tell from the last sentence that what Xiao Jiahua said was that when she was on a business trip to the border, someone fabricated a story behind her that she eloped with Liang Gaofeng, which led to a fight between Xiao Dabao and others.
There was nothing new in the village. Everyone was talking in low voices, and all their eyes were fixed on Li's daughter-in-law.
Xiao Jiahua knows this person.
Li's family lives in the west of the village. Li often works in the coal factory in the town and can only go home rarely. It is all up to his wife to take care of the children at home alone.
This Li's wife was married from the neighboring Lijia Village. Before she got married, she was a close friend of Xiao Jiahua's sister-in-law Li Cuizhi.
After Xiao's brother died, Li Cuizhi broke with the Xiao family. Li's wife also sided with Li Cuizhi, and Xiao's brother and the Xiao family were at odds with each other.
The two families had been living in peace, but this time when the schoolmate was at the border, she heard something from somewhere and couldn't help but gossiping.
Her son Li Xiaopang was influenced by her and started to provoke Xiao Dabao in school, both openly and covertly. After a while, the two children started fighting.
Xiao Jiahua walked up to Li's wife and asked coldly, "I wonder if Sister-in-law Li thinks what I just said makes sense?"
Mrs. Li felt that she was in the wrong. With so many villagers watching, and Town Chief Liu and Village Chief Zhao both present, she dared not say a word and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Xiao Jiahua pulled Xiao Dabao to his side again.
"Don't be afraid, Dabao. Tell me, is it his kid who bullied you?"
