Chapter 36: Do good things silently without saying anything. …
"Uncle, how can you say that?" Li Lingling also heard that Secretary He was angry, and she didn't dare to retort anymore, but she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart.
"Your mother repeatedly told me to take good care of you, how else do you want me to take care of you? You only think about how to do easy things, and hide when you encounter difficulties. You hid when you encountered problems before, and now you hide when you encounter problems again. How long do you want to hide?"
Li Lingling pursed her lips and said nothing.
"You rely on my status, so Director Ji can't say anything to you, but you can't go too far just because of this. Where were you last time the Women's Federation was doing something?"
"That's because they didn't tell me. They did it on purpose." Speaking of what happened last time, Li Lingling still felt wronged.
She felt left out.
The Women's Federation did make a contribution this time, but in the end it had nothing to do with her.
There were even women who came to complain, and when they saw her, they said that she was not needed and could not solve the problem, and they specifically asked Director Ji and Secretary Chen to handle it.
Secretary He felt a little headache when he heard her talk.
"Wouldn't you take the initiative to ask people if there is anything they can do for you?"
He is the secretary of the commune, so he doesn't need to ask if there is anything, someone will naturally tell him.
But Li Lingling is not the secretary. She is just a small clerk in the Women's Federation. If she is not proactive in her work, does she want Director Ji to report to her?
So who is the director of the Women's Federation?
Besides, although Director Ji is in Baihua Commune, it is because she was transferred here with her husband. She used to work in the Women's Federation in the county. Not to mention that she is a relative of the county leader, he has to give her face.
His niece is really amazing. She doesn't even take others seriously. It's just that Director Ji doesn't want to bother with a child like her. If it were someone with a smaller mind, he would be in big trouble if she said anything in front of the county leaders.
Secretary He rubbed his forehead. He couldn't think. The more he thought, the more his head hurt.
He even tried to convince himself that his niece was still young.
But he couldn't help but think of Zhou Xian. She was younger than his niece, so how could she be so capable?
Thinking of this, Secretary He paused, looked up at Li Lingling and said, "How about this, I'll give you a task, you don't have to do anything else, just write an article about this incident of the Women's Federation."
"Why write this?" Li Lingling didn't understand what her uncle was thinking.
"Don't worry about it. Just show it to me when you're done."
After saying that, Secretary He sent Li Lingling away.
He still had some hope for his niece, thinking that there must be some advantages in her that he had not yet discovered.
On the other side, after Zhou Jiefang returned, he told her that Director Ji was looking for Zhou Xian and asked her to find time to go to the commune.
She also talked about her contribution to the Women's Newspaper.
"It's in the newspaper again?" The people in the brigade were immediately surprised when they heard it.
They don’t care which newspaper it’s in, as long as it’s in the newspaper.
Although the article was about the commune, the person who appeared in the newspaper was Zhou Xian, and the people in Taohua Brigade were still proud of it.
Qin Yun had just finished reading a newspaper article. When he heard the news, he came over and said, "This is good news. The Women's Newspaper is in Beijing. If this is published, people all over the country can see it."
"What? The whole nation can see it?"
This was a big deal. After a while, the news spread throughout the Taohua Brigade. Zhou Xian's article was published in the Women's Newspaper, and people all over the country could see her article. ”
Zhou Jiefang immediately understood why Secretary He was so excited when he received the call.
The Baihua Commune has appeared in front of the people of the whole country, how can we not be happy?
Thinking that all this was caused by his daughter, the captain's mouth curled up.
This is his daughter.
Zhou Xian was not very excited. He had no career prospects, so he couldn't get excited.
She took her homemade notebook and went to visit Qian Xique.
Although Liu Chunhua reported to the brigade headquarters regularly to report her thoughts, Zhou Xian still had to refer to the opinion of Qian Xique, the person involved.
Seeing Zhou Xian coming, Qian Xique quickly invited her in to sit down.
Zhou Xian waved his hand, took out a piece of White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket and handed it to the girl leaning against Qian Xique.
"You can't do that. This candy is so expensive. Director Zhou, you should keep it for yourself."
Qian Xique didn't stop her, and Zhou Xian had already stuffed the candy into the girl's hand.
A child of six or seven years old looks like he is only four or five years old, thin and small.
However, every time she saw Zhou Xian, her eyes were always shining and she would call her sister from a distance.
While Qian Xique was talking to Zhou Xian, his hands were not idle.
Zhou Xian took a look at the pattern in her hand and found it was embroidered very well.
Seeing Zhou Xian staring at what she was holding, Qian Xique smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I learned this craft from my grandmother. She used to make clothes for the daughters of landlords. After liberation, she passed this craft to me."
Zhou Xian nodded and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked about Liu Chunhua's recent performance.
After completing the return visit, she prepared to leave.
But he didn't expect to be stopped by Qian Xique. He went back to the house for a while, and when he came out, he stuffed the money into Zhou Xian's hand.
"Director Zhou, thank you for the malted milk, but I really can't buy it, so I'll give it to you in exchange for money."
Malted milk is hard to buy. Even if the supply and marketing cooperative has it, the quantity is limited and it has already been reserved. Even if she asks for help from Director Chen, she still can't buy it.
But she kept this favor in her heart, and now that she had saved some money, she was thinking about repaying it.
"Those are what I gave to the girls to drink. You don't have to do this." Zhou Xian naturally refused to accept them.
Although she borrowed it from her biological mother, there are still many things in the system, which is enough for her to be filial to her biological mother, Comrade Ge Guifen.
When pushing the money back, Zhou Xian's eyes fell on Niu'er and said directly, "Aunt, our brigade is planning to rebuild a primary school. I think Niu'er is old enough. If you really want to thank me, why don't you support my work and send Niu'er to school when the primary school is built."
"Really?" Qian Xique looked at Zhou Xian, then at Nuoer.
From Zhou Xian, she has seen the benefits of reading.
If there was an opportunity to go to school, she would definitely let her daughter go, and she also wanted her daughter to learn to read and write.
In the past, she was worried that her mother-in-law would not agree, but now, she no longer has this concern.
No matter what, she would send her daughter to school.
Zhou Xian also went to the commune. Ge Guifen stuffed some money into her pocket early in the morning and said, "Just buy yourself some food. Don't worry about us."
Seeing Zhou Xian remained silent, Ge Guifen continued, "Mom doesn't need food, you need to eat more, there are so many things to do in the team."
"I know mom, I have to go."
Zhou Xian rode his bicycle out of the team.
I didn't meet any acquaintances on the road this time. Ever since Qiao Donglin went to the labor camp, Qi Zhijie has become much more obedient.
Without the male protagonist, his loyal fans can’t even jump up and down.
Zhou Xian rode all the way to the gate of the commune, and it was the same old man again.
When he saw Zhou Xian coming, he recognized her at a glance.
"Uncle, thank you for your help." Zhou Xian stuffed two pieces of fruit candy into the old man's pocket and pointed at the bicycle at the door.
"Don't worry, kid. I won't lose it if I leave it here. Eat it yourself. I don't need any sugar."
Seeing the old man handing it over, Zhou Xian pushed it back again, "Uncle, let's be honest. You helped me, so I have to express my gratitude. Please accept it, otherwise I will be embarrassed to ask you for help next time."
After saying that, Zhou Xian waved to the old man and went to the Women's Federation.
This time it was much more lively than last time. There were quite a few people at the door of the Women's Federation. When I got closer and listened, I knew they were there to report problems.
The last incident gave hope to many oppressed women comrades, and they knew that if they had any problems, they could turn to the Women’s Federation for help.
On the Women's Federation side, Director Ji, along with Secretary Chen and Secretary Li, recorded all the information about the women comrades who came to report the situation.
Then we divided ourselves into several groups and went to the teams below in batches to understand the situation. We almost broke our legs from running these days and were extremely tired.
Although Director Ji was tired, he was still very excited mentally.
It’s almost the same situation over there with Secretary Chen.
Secretary Li was almost lying on the table, and it seemed like he didn't want to move at all.
Her uncle asked her to write an article, but she couldn't compose a few words for a long time. Now I suddenly realize that doing things is much easier than writing articles. Although it is a bit tiring, it is better than asking her to hold a pen.
She planned to postpone it for a while, so she kept herself busy for the past two days so that her uncle wouldn't be able to say anything to her.
Director Ji glanced at her and frowned. If he wasn't busy and needed more manpower, he would have wanted to talk to Secretary He about the situation.
Seeing Zhou Xian coming over, Director Ji immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Zhou is here, come and sit down. Please wait for a moment. I will talk to you after I finish this."
"You go about your business. If you can use me, just let me know."
Director Ji laughed again after hearing this. After she finished the work at hand, she called Zhou Xian over.
"Xiao Zhou, did you know that the article you submitted to the Women's Newspaper was selected?"
"Yes, my dad told me."
“You are really amazing.”
"Thank you for the compliment. It is because of your good work that I have the material for this manuscript."
Seeing Zhou Xian's humble look, Director Ji became even more satisfied, and even had the idea of transferring Zhou Xian to the commune Women's Federation.
The two talked for a while, and the topic returned to the female comrade who came to complain.
The last incident did scare a lot of people, but some people took advantage of the fact that they were in the commune and were far away and could not be controlled, and their true colors were revealed again.
They also went to check the situation and found that it was not an isolated case, but a common situation in all the teams.
Director Ji glanced at Zhou Xian and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen any women from your Taohua Brigade come over to report the problem."
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Someone was caught as an example before, and you have frightened them. Naturally, they dare not oppress female comrades anymore."
"You did a good job."
"In fact, Director Ji, you don't have to be so tired. You can take note of the teams of women comrades who come to report the situation, and then notify the directors of the Women's Federation of each team, and let them take charge of the affairs of their own team. You can make regular follow-up visits to see if they have done their work well, and then you can relax a little."
Director Ji looked at Zhou Xian approvingly.
Because the directors of the Women's Federations of those brigades had not done their job before, Director Ji subconsciously did not trust them.
However, after hearing what Zhou Xian said, she felt that she had done all the work, and the director of the Women's Federation was just a figurehead.
As for the Women's Federation of the lower brigade, if they dare to favor people from their own brigade again, they can no longer just let it go as they did before.
"Xiao Zhou, you're right." Director Ji looked at Zhou Xian with approval.
Because I was busy, I didn't take Zhou Xian to the cafeteria for dinner this time. Zhou Xian went to the supply and marketing cooperative, but didn't buy much. He took some rock sugar on the way. He didn't buy meat this time.
She used some of the oil from the gift packs when cooking during the busy farming season.
Now that she is no longer the chef, she still goes to the kitchen occasionally to secretly add some oil and salt into the food. I also hear her mother muttering, wondering why the ingredients are never less even though they are used every day.
Zhou Xian naturally did good things quietly without saying anything.
