She asked An Jingzhi to take the ceramic cup and towel back home, but gave the newspaper directly to the team leader and put it in the team headquarters so that anyone who wanted to read it could read it.
Xu Yanfen had a proud look on her face, but her heart was already flying high. She couldn't wait to get home and touch those rewards.
When it was time to get off work, she walked so fast that even the running young people couldn't catch up with her.
After dinner, the family looked at the thermos, ceramic cups, white towels and ceramic basins on the table with great curiosity in their eyes.
"Mom, Second Wife Fu said she wants to replace our ceramic basin. What do you think we should do?" asked An's mother Lu Yuying.
Normally, Lu Yuying is not very popular in the village because of her hot temper, but after what happened today, many people came to talk to her and praised her son in her ears.
"Let's exchange it. Her son is getting married. Fu Ernai even borrowed money from our family before. We don't need this ceramic basin. The wooden basin is still in good condition. It would be nice to exchange it for some money to supplement the household expenses."
"Leave the thermos at home, leave the towel with me, and give the ceramic cup to Jingzhi."
The old lady quickly divided up the rewards.
No one in the family has any objection; these rewards have nothing to do with them.
The thermos can be placed at home and used by the whole family.
…
The hot topic of the entire Changyun Brigade that day was the issue of settling down.
"Jing Zhi is really promising. That article actually made it into the newspaper."
“It’s said that there is a difference between high school students and high school students. Look at the group of educated youth in our village, tut tut.”
"Grandma Xu is famous, but our brigade is also famous. It will definitely be easier for us to get married in the future."
"If it weren't for the autumn harvest, I would have to go back to my parents' home."
The captain's home.
The captain tossed and turned, unable to sleep. His wife nudged him with her elbow and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I was thinking about what Jingzhi told me before about raising pigs. I originally thought he was just a young man who was too impatient, but now I think maybe this thing can really be done." The article can even be published in the Capital Daily, so raising pigs should be able to be done too, right?
His wife said, "Didn't you say our brigade is broke? Why are you thinking so much when you don't have money?"
"If you don't have money, you can buy fewer. Life will get better and better." If the team had money, Li Sannai's family would not have quarreled like that over five kilograms of fine grains. It can be said that most of the conflicts in the team were caused by lack of money.
"Don't worry about it. You still have to go to work tomorrow. Go to bed quickly."
On the same day, the old ladies who had talked with An Jingzhi under the tree all thought of pig farming at the same time.
Although no one knows what the relationship is between the two, everyone thinks of the same point. If the article written can even be published in the Capital Daily, then raising a few pigs should not be a problem, right?
…
After harvesting the grain, they had to hand it in. The team leader asked the team members to prepare the carts early and line up early in the morning. If they were late, they didn't know how long the delay would last.
Calling the young guys in the team, An Jingzhi and the team leader led them to the town.
The carts were loaded with food, and people could only walk on the ground.
Because we were carrying a lot of food, it took us two hours to finally reach the brigade's grain collection station.
At this time, there were already quite a few people queuing up in front. Their team was not close to the town, but even if they set out earlier, it would not be as convenient as those teams that lived closer.
Several people lined up directly behind several large teams. According to the progress of the previous ones, it would be their turn around 10 o'clock in the morning, which means they still have to wait for five hours.
Compared to last year when we had to wait until the afternoon to deliver all the food, waiting only five hours is already very good.
Since they were free, the people in the brigade started chatting with the people around them. When they heard that they were from the Changyun Brigade, everyone was excited.
"Are you really from the Changyun Brigade? The Changyun Brigade that was in the newspaper?"
"Who else could it be if not us?" The young men of Changyun Brigade all held their heads high and chests puffed out with pride, looking very pleased with themselves.
"Oh my goodness, you guys are here quite early. Is that fair-skinned young man in front the An Jingzhi who writes articles, the accountant of your Changyun Brigade?" The people from the brigade next to him pointed to the front, where An Jingzhi was standing upright.
"That's him. Jingzhi is the most educated high school student in our village. In fact, when he graduated from high school, he even got a job at the town's glass factory, but he sold his job to pay back the money our brigade lent them."
"What? What's going on?"
These people were very cooperative and asked curiously. The young people from the Changyun Brigade explained the matter one by one.
"You are so particular. You are such a particular person." Although he did not agree with the other party's behavior in his heart, it did not prevent him from respecting the other party.
"No wonder, Comrade Xu Yanfen is just as generous as the newspapers say. No wonder she can raise such a grandson."
The person in charge of checking the food in front also heard their conversation.
A man in uniform walked up to the captain.
"I heard you are from the Changyun Brigade?"
The captain quickly handed over a cigarette. He was smoking a dry pipe, and the one he handed to the other person was a cigarette. He bought these specially for convenience.
"Yes, we are from the Changyun Brigade. I am the captain of the Changyun Brigade, and this is the accountant of our Changyun Brigade."
The other party took it and, upon hearing they were from the Changyun Brigade, became much more polite. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Come on, let me take you to the side to hand in your food. I'll calculate it for you separately so as not to delay others."
