Chapter 55 Send You to the Newspaper
Seeing that no one had any objections, Wang Xuemei hugged her daughter Yiyi, looked at everyone, and started laughing.
The brigade now has a plastic greenhouse. This recruitment has boosted everyone's enthusiasm for attending literacy classes, and the teachers in the primary schools have also become noticeably busier.
The members were too embarrassed to ask questions to the educated youth at the educated youth points, so they set their sights on the educated youth who were married to members of the brigade.
After all, there are acquaintances there, so it’s easier to get in touch with them. Some people even told the brigade leaders that they hoped the literacy classes could last longer.
Several team leaders discussed it and finally decided to extend the class time of the literacy class by half an hour. Any longer than that would not do as the teachers also need to rest.
It's quite tiring to teach children during the day and go to literacy classes at night.
Someone also needs to look after the greenhouse at night. After all, this is the first time we do this and no one wants to fail, so it’s best to have someone on duty at night.
Pay special attention to the temperature in the greenhouse, but other problems are not serious. As long as the temperature in the greenhouse is properly controlled, everything else is no different from growing vegetables on a normal day.
The weather is getting colder and colder. If the cold air is allowed into the greenhouse, the vegetables will be frozen to death.
The mushroom strains they needed were also delivered. Growing vegetables was easy, but no one had ever grown mushrooms, and looking at those strains, everyone was really unsure.
I read the page about mushrooms in the planting book over and over again before I dared to start.
The mushrooms that we eat on a daily basis are all found in the mountains. Even if you see them on sale, no one would buy them.
Instead of spending that money, you might as well go to the mountains and pick all kinds of mushrooms.
Those members also dried the mushrooms so that they could be preserved for a longer time. Especially in winter, adding some to stews would make them very delicious.
When everything was ready, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhou Jiefang arranged several people to keep watch at night, and reminded them again and again of the importance of the greenhouse and asked them to take good care of it at night.
Also check it before going to bed, especially to make sure that the plastic is not broken.
He himself was not very reassured, so he put himself on the night watch list. He did not dare to slack off on this matter at all.
Zhou Xian will also report the progress to his superiors.
"I feel relieved that you are watching over me."
Director Ji looked at Zhou Xian and smiled with satisfaction. This vegetable cannot be grown in a day or two, and she is not without the patience to wait.
But this time, it was Comrade Xiao Li who impressed her and helped her a lot.
She had made up for the mistake she made with Yang Shengyi before. These days, Director Ji saw Secretary Li and Zhou Xian hanging out together, and he thought it was just because they were young and had common topics.
I heard them talking a few times and realized that Comrade Xiao Li was undecided about something and went to ask Comrade Xiao Zhou for advice.
Director Ji didn't say anything. Being motivated is a good thing, and she can't stop the girl from being motivated. It's rare that Secretary Li has thought it through and is willing to work, so she can't say anything bad about him.
Without paying attention to what the two girls were whispering about, Director Ji read through the information of the women comrades who had come to complain before, sorted it out, and distributed it to several people in the office.
Now that people have reported the problem, they naturally have to solve it.
There are also some that have been resolved and I want to visit them.
Previously, Director Li was in charge of the Yanghua Brigade. However, after Zhou Xian solved the Yang family's problems, and seeing that she was so motivated now, Director Ji did not hold her accountable, nor did he report to Secretary He. He still handed the Yanghua Brigade over to her.
Zhou Xian helped temporarily. After all, something had just happened there, and he was afraid that the Yang family would start to act recklessly again after seeing that the Women's Federation had left.
"Oh, Xiao Zhou, take a copy of the newspaper to Yanghua Brigade and ask the director of the Women's Federation there to read it to the members of the brigade."
"Okay, I'll tell them."
After Director Ji finished making the arrangements, Zhou Xian took the newspaper and went to the Yanghua Brigade.
As soon as she joined the team, she was noticed.
I've been here a few times and we're familiar with each other.
Someone with a curious mind came over and asked with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, are you going to the Yang family again?"
"No, I'm here to see Comrade Wang, the director of the Women's Federation of your brigade. Here's a newspaper for her."
"What newspaper?"
"It's the newspaper I read every day."
Although they said so, when Zhou Xian went to the Yanghua Brigade, the members couldn't help but follow her.
Seeing her handing the newspaper to Director Wang of the Women's Federation, Zhou Xian said, "Comrade Wang, you have to take a look at this newspaper first, and then read it to everyone. Director Ji said that this article in particular must be read to the members of the brigade."
Comrade Wang can be the director of the Women's Federation, so he must be literate.
She looked at the article Zhou Xian pointed to and glanced at it. There was a photo on it and the child looked a little familiar.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when I looked away, I saw the author's name.
She opened her eyes wide and looked again carefully.
That familiar-looking child is none other than Yang Shengyi who changed his name.
"Comrade Zhou, did you write this article?"
"Nothing, just writing something casually." Zhou Xian said with a smile.
Comrade Wang was indeed shocked for a long time. This had been reported in national newspapers, but it was just something he wrote casually.
Can you just go to any newspaper?
Those members who came to watch the fun gasped. Who is the one who can be in the newspaper?
It’s the God of Literature who has descended to earth.
Someone came over immediately and said, "Quick, Director Wang, please read to us what the secretary wrote in the newspaper this week."
Director Wang didn't care about anything else and quickly opened it and started reading. As she read, her expression changed again.
She didn't notice it at first, but when she knew who wrote it and then read the content, she understood what it was about.
She didn't read it, after all, the article was not short. Seeing that the members were really curious, she just briefly explained the content. The Yang family was now in the newspaper.
Some were shocked, some were envious, and some were jealous.
Someone even called over the Yang family members who were reported in the newspaper and told them the good news.
Ever since her son was taken away, Old Mrs. Yang felt like she had aged a lot. When she heard that her family was in the newspaper, she immediately became energetic. When she ran over excitedly, she met Director Wang's meaningful gaze.
Director Wang had no choice but to speak up. "Why are you so happy? I thought it was a good thing. Your family's abuse of Hongmei's child was reported in the newspaper."
It's not like he has a good reputation.
The members of the brigade knew that Yang Hongmei had changed her name, but everyone still liked to call her Hongmei.
Old Mrs. Yang, who was originally happy, lost her composure when she heard that what happened at home was reported in the newspaper, and then she fell to the ground.
Seeing Old Lady Yang fall, the other members immediately gave her a piece of land.
It's not that they didn't want to help, but the old lady had a criminal record. When she came back from her mother's house, she was holding a jar of pickles in her hand and accidentally fell while walking. She insisted on blaming the person next to her for knocking her down and extorted two dollars from that person.
So when they saw her fall, everyone immediately made way for fear that she would blackmail them.
Old Lady Yang stared at Director Wang in disbelief, "How did this get reported in the newspaper?"
Although she herself didn't think there was anything wrong with ordering Yang Hongmei around, it was because that girl's parents were useless and she wasn't a man.
So she naturally gave the second son's compensation to the eldest and third sons.
But this doesn't mean she wants this to be reported in the newspaper.
I heard it was reported in a national newspaper. Doesn't that mean the whole country knows what she did?
Old Mrs. Yang felt so humiliated that she wanted to die.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Director Wang had originally planned to find an opportunity to read the article to everyone, but now he had to read it out loud.
Although no names were mentioned throughout the article, everyone knew that this was the Yang family's business.
Especially the photo of Hongmei is still on it. Although it is a black and white photo, you can still see that the child looks skinny and pitiful.
Old Mrs. Yang suddenly felt hopeless.
It's over. It's all over.
The other members of the Yang family felt their scalps tingle after hearing this.
Zhang Xiaohuan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family, said stiffly, "The higher-ups didn't mention any names, so others probably don't know it's our family."
She thought that the people in the team must know about it, after all, everyone had seen it with their own eyes, but it was hard to say for people outside.
Even if there are photos, no one knows who Yang Hongmei is.
When Old Lady Yang heard this, she felt that what she said made sense, and her energy and spirit returned to her.
Zhou Xian spoke quietly at this moment, "I also intend to give you a chance this time, so I didn't write your names directly. If you still don't know how to repent, then next time, we will see you in the newspaper, so that the people of the whole country can see it and judge this matter. Let them also say, this biological father is gone, the uncles and aunts took the compensation, and shamelessly said that they lent money to the child. Is this right or wrong?"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohuan wished she hadn't said anything just now.
She just wants to be famous, but she doesn't want to be famous this way.
Old Lady Yang recovered now, her eyes rolled around, and after a while she said, "If I'm nice to that girl, can I still be in the newspaper?"
Zhou Xian: “…” I really want to let this old lady and Aunt Ma fight each other to see which of the two top old ladies is more powerful.
How shameless! In just a short period of time, you're already thinking about becoming famous.
She took out another letter and said, "I'm not just saying this. Just a few days ago, the newspaper sent me another letter saying that after the article was published, someone wrote to the newspaper, asking about the current situation of Shengyi, or Hongmei."
These letters were all sent by local people.
Zhou Xian felt that there would definitely be more readers sending letters to the newspaper in the future, it was just a matter of time.
Old Mrs. Yang suddenly felt a sense of loss.
"Everyone is looking forward to the follow-up. I will write a letter to the newspaper in the near future."
Zhou Xian said he wrote a letter, but it sounded different to other people.
However, they were not familiar with the Women's Federation secretary of the commune, and for a moment they didn't know how to get close to her.
Finally, an old lady looked around and came over mysteriously. She got very close to Zhou Xian and almost whispered in his ear, "Secretary Zhou, do you have a partner?"
Zhou Xian had a bad feeling, "What are you doing?"
"If you don't have a boyfriend, I know a few good young men here. How about you meet them?"
"Thank you, ma'am. You don't have to worry about that."
In order to prevent the old lady from introducing any more young men, Zhou Xian said, "Don't worry, if there is anything that can be written, I will write it in the newspaper. Of course, good things must be written. I will also write about bad things, such as selling daughters to marry sons, and men beating their wives. I will also write about evil mothers-in-law, evil daughters-in-law, and evil sisters-in-law. If I find any, I will still write about them."
Everyone looked at each other and no one dared to speak.
Especially the person who was mentioned, he even took two steps back guiltily, fearing that Zhou Xian would see him.
When Wu Guoxing came over, he saw Zhou Xian surrounded by a group of people.
"Secretary Zhou." he called out.
Secretary He had previously discussed the idea of building plastic greenhouses at a meeting, but he hesitated and ended up missing out.
He had a good relationship with Zhou Jiefang. It was only after that meeting that he found out that Secretary Zhou was actually Zhou Jiefang's daughter.
He wanted to find out about the situation of the plastic greenhouse. Secretary Zhou worked in the commune and was close to the commune leaders. He must know something about the inside story, otherwise Zhou Jiefang would not have been so active in fighting for this matter.
He wanted to ask Secretary Zhou to see if he could get any useful information.
