Chapter 35: The New Year is coming soon
After confirming the two candidates, Cui Xiongnian immediately announced the result.
The female educated youth had nothing to say, but the male educated youth changed their expressions.
"This is unfair!" A male educated youth stood up angrily and glared at Wen Ting.
"Zhang Zhiqing, do you have any objection?" Cui Xiongnian glanced at him and asked lightly.
"We are all educated youth, but the intensity of male and female educated youth is not equal. Moreover, Wen Zhiqing's achievements are not the result of her hard work alone. She cheated. Why should she be given it!"
"Why do you say I cheated?!" Wen Ting was the first to be dissatisfied.
"How dare you say that you can grow those vegetables yourself?" Zhang Zhiqing was not afraid of her and directly confronted her.
"Why not? Don't I water and fertilize them every day?"
"You do, but you just pretend. Most of the work is done by others."
"So what? Others insist on doing it for me, and I can't stop them. If you have the ability, let others do it for you. If you can't afford to lose, then don't afford to lose. Find your own reasons, don't just be jealous of others!"
"You!" "
Alright!" Cui Xiongnian shouted, interrupting their argument directly.
"What are you arguing about? You are a grown man, and you have to argue with female comrades. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
After glaring at him, Cui Xiongnian looked at everyone.
"Why should I divide the task into two? When the quota was given to me, I clearly stated that there must be a female comrade. It was also my fault that I did not explain it clearly to you at that time, which led to the current situation. It is my responsibility." As soon as
he said this, Zhang Zhiqing's face froze.
Good man, it turned out to be like this, then wasn't he very embarrassed just now?
Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Zhiqing lowered his head and said nothing.
Wen Ting on the side glanced at him triumphantly, not noticing that Chen Qingyan's face, which was originally surprised and then suddenly gloomy.
He thought that even if Wen Ting lost the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, it was better than him staying here alone.
As a result, he finally saw a little hope, but it was short-lived.
Wen Ting had to go back to the city.
Some are happy and some are sad, but none of this has anything to do with Cui Xiongnian.
After he returned home, Cui Xue immediately asked him about the quota for a female comrade.
"Last time you said you wanted a quota for Wen Zhiqing, but I, your father, couldn't ask for it, and I don't have the ability to ask for it. Of course, I didn't say anything nonsense about giving the quota to a female comrade. When the higher-ups gave it down, they also said that it would be best to give female comrades some opportunities. Now, no matter how Wen Ting grows those vegetables, at least she got the quota."
"Dad, you're awesome." Cui Xue gave him a thumbs up.
"That Zhang Zhiqing, he does a good job, but he has too many little ideas." Cui Xiongnian smiled implicitly at first, and when he talked about Zhang Zhiqing, he shook his head with some regret.
"Dad, what are you thinking? They are educated youth. They will have to go back to the city sooner or later. Do you expect them to stay in a rural area like ours forever?" Cui Xue looked at him helplessly. "
Let's not talk about anything else. Many people in the countryside want to go to the city. You still want educated youth who are originally from the city to stay in the countryside. Aren't you kidding me?"
Cui Xiongnian was choked by what she said.
"That's just what I said. Why are you talking so much?"
"Hehe."
The list was submitted the next day, and it was almost impossible to change it.
The weather was getting colder and colder. The postman also came every three days instead of every two days. It was estimated that if it got colder, it would become every five days.
Because of this, Cui Xue had to add more manuscripts. She had to collect more manuscripts to keep updating.
Last time, the magazine sent her the manuscript fee and also sent her a letter from a reader.
It was the first time she received a letter from a reader, which was very novel and touching.
Perhaps it was because she was truly aware of the readers, her mind, which had been tortured by the plot, suddenly became excited, and she wrote furiously every day.
The days of making money like this soon came to the New Year.
The last letter from the magazine, which also sent her a lot of New Year gifts, made Cui Xue realize that the New Year was coming. When she
returned home with the package from the magazine, her sister-in-law Liu Ping was cooking in the kitchen with a big belly, and Cui Xue hurried over to take over her work.
"Sister-in-law, your belly is so big, please don't do these things. If you need anything, just ask my brother to do it for you."
"It's nothing. I'll just light a fire. When mom comes back later, she will have to do the things on the stove." Liu Ping raised her head and replied with a smile.
When she married into the Cui family, she felt that she had fallen into a blessed nest. She didn't expect that she would find out that the previous life was nothing when she became pregnant.
How she lives now, she doesn't know how many people will envy her if she tells others about it.
"It's okay, I'll do it." Cui Xue said, and rolled up her sleeves to work.
"Are these things sent by Zongshan?" Liu Ping asked curiously when she saw the package she put aside.
"Ah? No, it was sent by the magazine."
After hearing this, Liu Ping didn't ask any more questions.
"Dad went to the commune for a meeting this time. I don't know if he can get the money back. The New Year is coming soon. If the money is not distributed, the villagers will make a fuss." Thinking of this, Liu Ping couldn't help sighing.
Originally, this year's money should have been distributed two months ago, but Cui Xiongnian went to ask several times and was asked to wait. Many people in the village came to ask many times.
If the higher-ups don't distribute money, Cui Xiongnian has no choice.
In order to appease the emotions of the villagers, they had spread the word earlier that those who wanted food should collect it first, and only then did it remain quiet until now, otherwise there would have been a fuss.
"I think he went there to talk about this. The New Year is coming soon, and the money must be distributed anyway." Cui Xue thought about it and felt that the commune should let them, the team leaders, to collect the money.
Regardless of why the money was distributed so late this year, the final amount should be distributed before the New Year. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will arouse the anger of the people below, and then they will collectively report it. It will be enough for everyone in the commune to drink a pot of wine.
"You are right." Liu Ping nodded in agreement.
Just as she finished speaking, Cui Xiongnian came into the yard pushing a bicycle.
"Dad, you're back?" Liu Ping hurriedly greeted him.
Cui Xiongnian nodded, and seeing Cui Xue in the kitchen, he hurriedly said, "Xue'er, don't do anything yet, go with Dad to distribute everyone's money first."
"You just said that the New Year is coming soon, and the money hasn't been distributed yet. Dad, you're back with the money now?" Cui Xue wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen.
"If we don't distribute it, the commune will be smashed." Cui Xiongnian sighed, and didn't know what happened when he went back to the commune this time.
Cui Xue was surprised for a moment, but didn't ask too many questions. She took the key and followed him out the door.
