Chapter 73: Promoted Again
Zhou Xian thought that he could try growing mushrooms like oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. The more variety there is, the better their chances will be.
After coming up with some ideas, Zhou Xian went out for a walk.
I didn't walk far before I ate a melon.
When she and Comrade Ge Guifen went back to her parents' home, Aunt Ma Erya's two daughters also came back. When they got home, they found that their parents had separated and the old couple now lived separately.
This made the two girls very angry. They thought that their elder and younger brothers were heartless and didn't want to support their parents. They pointed at their noses and started scolding them. When Ma Erya heard the news and rushed back from outside, the two girls had finished scolding their brother and sister-in-law.
After hearing their mother's explanation, the two girls were speechless.
So it’s not that the brothers don’t want their parents, it’s that their parents don’t want those two brothers.
Their mother is really awesome. Other old men and women are afraid that they will not be able to be in charge of the family after the family is divided, but their mother took the initiative to separate the two brothers and no longer wants to let them be the head of the family.
They worried for nothing.
Ma Erya was of course happy that her daughter felt sorry for her.
It was a waste of love for the eldest grandson. After he got married, not only did he forget his mother, he even forgot his grandmother. She was disappointed with her eldest grandson, no, with all the grandchildren in the family.
They all look unreliable.
Now the only person in her family who can make her welcome him with a smile is her granddaughter Zhou Xiaocao.
She is the only female tractor driver in the commune, which makes her, the nurse, so proud.
Now, only promising children in the family are worthy of her attention. As for whether the promising child wants it or not, that is none of her business. Anyway, when she gave money to Xiaocao, the second son's wife looked very happy.
In the past, she always laughed at Ge Guifen for being stupid, and she would only dote on the girl and give her all the good things to eat and drink. Now, she began to understand Ge Guifen's feelings a little.
Good girl, Ge Guifen’s daughter is now a cadre in the commune.
Her two daughters are nice too, they know how to care for her as a mother.
As the two girls left, one of them stuffed some money into their pockets. "This is New Year's money for your children. It's not much. Just 50 cents per child. Keep it."
This shocked the two girls. If they were not forbidden to believe in such feudal superstitions, they would have suspected that their mother was possessed by some dirty thing.
In the past, my mother always asked her two sisters to subsidize their brother and nephew, but now she actually gave them money.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" the eldest daughter Zhou Sulan asked cautiously.
"Go away, you are the one who is feeling unwell. You can't stand seeing that I, your mother, am in good health, so you have to curse me?" Ma Erya waved her hands impatiently at her daughters and told them to leave quickly.
After seeing her two daughters off, Ma Erya strolled around the yard twice. During this time, her eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Meifeng, approached her with a shy face, but she ignored her. She finally waited for Zhou Xiaocao to come out and hurried over to her.
After stuffing a dollar into Zhou Xiaocao's pocket, he said, "This is New Year's money. Keep it."
Before Zhou Xiaocao could react, Sun Meifeng exploded. In the past, all these benefits belonged to her two sons, but now they all belonged to Zhou Xiaocao alone.
"Mom, Jianguo and his brother haven't received their New Year's money yet?"
Ma Erya raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "From now on, whoever has a promising future here will be given New Year's money by me."
Her granddaughter is a tractor driver in the brigade and is more promising than anyone else in the family, so she was given the job alone.
Sun Meifeng was not convinced. She turned around and saw her daughter Zhou Xiaohua. She became even angrier and pinched her. "You also attended literacy classes. Why can't you be a tractor driver? You are such a useless waste."
She twisted it once, and when she twisted it the second time, Zhou Xiaohua dodged it. Sun Meifeng was completely stunned. She didn't expect that her timid daughter would dare to dodge.
Before she could point her finger at Zhou Xiaohua and scold her, she heard her say, "Mom, whenever I start studying, you order me to do some work. Of course I can't learn well."
"What did you say?" Sun Meifeng was stunned and even forgot to curse.
Zhou Xiaohua raised her voice and repeated, "I'm not Zhou Xiaohua anymore. I've changed my name to Zhou Xiaohua. I will study hard in the future. I can't be the only one doing the housework. I will do what I should do, and I won't do what I shouldn't do in the future."
After saying that, Zhou Xiaohua turned and left.
The first thing she learned in the literacy class was her own name. In fact, Sister Xiaocao also taught her privately how to drive a tractor. Although she had never driven one before, she already had an idea of the structure of a tractor in her mind.
Sister Xiaocao also said that there would definitely be more than one tractor driver in the future, so she should study hard and there would be many opportunities for her in the future.
They all have a chance.
The name Xiaohua was also changed by herself after she attended the literacy class. It sounds very similar to her original name, but for her, it has a different meaning.
It is very easy to change your name in the team. Just find the team leader and change it directly.
She had mentioned this matter at home a long time ago. She changed her name and told her family as soon as possible, but no one cared.
Sun Meifeng stood there in a daze, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
"They're rebelling, one after another. Do you still take me, your biological mother, seriously?"
She slapped her thigh and cursed in the yard for a long time.
After scolding her daughter, she started scolding her son, and then she indirectly scolded her mother-in-law, the second wife, and her pregnant daughter-in-law.
But no one cared. She was the only one cursing in the yard. No one paid any attention to her, leaving her to perform a one-man show for half a day.
That’s not right. Occasionally, her daughter-in-law would say that she was too noisy and was disturbing her unborn grandson.
Sun Meifeng turned off the engine, but she was still confused.
She suddenly didn't know what she was doing.
She was devoted to her son, but her son forgot about her after he got married.
She also has a younger son, but she seems to have seen her own future through her younger son.
For a moment, she thought of her mother-in-law.
My parents-in-law are capable and must be rich. They are now close to my second son's family.
At first Sun Meifeng didn't care, and even mocked them in her heart, thinking that the second family was just coveting the little things in the hands of her parents-in-law. Once the money in the hands of the two old guys was gone, the true colors of the second family were exposed.
But now the thought in her mind did not come true. In fact, because the eldest daughter of the second son became a tractor driver in the brigade, her parents-in-law were too lazy to care about their face and directly said that they would love whoever has a promising future in the family.
Just now, in front of her, her mother-in-law took some of the things brought by her two sisters-in-law and sent them to the second son, and told him to make sure Zhou Xiaocao took good care of herself and be a good tractor driver as the only tractor driver in the brigade.
Sun Meifeng felt depressed.
She didn't know why, she just walked into the room and lay down.
No one cared about her. Even her husband, who came into the house several times, didn't show any concern for her. He also asked her to get up quickly and cook so as not to delay his daughter-in-law's meal, after all, she was pregnant with her eldest grandson.
Sun Meifeng did not respond. She lay on the bed without moving, her eyes staring at the ceiling. She did not hear her man's chatter at all.
I don't know when there is no one in the room.
…
Zhou Xian thought hard about the plastic greenhouse before going to work and even wrote a complete plan for it.
Before she could report to her superiors, Secretary He called her to his office, where Director Ji was also.
"Xiao Zhou, I want to transfer you over to be my secretary, are you willing?"
"Me?" Zhou Xian really didn't expect this.
Director Ji saw that she was stunned. Although she was reluctant to let her go, she also knew that there was nothing more for Zhou Xian to do in the Women's Federation. If she, as the director of the Women's Federation, did not leave, Xiao Zhou would only be an officer, which was a waste of his talent.
Working as Secretary He's secretary will give Xiao Zhou more room for development in the future. Xiao Zhou is still young, so it is not impossible for him to be promoted to a county cadre in the future.
"Xiao Zhou, this concerns your future, so don't hesitate any longer." Director Ji analyzed the current situation to Zhou Xian and advised him earnestly.
Secretary He also looked at Zhou Xian. He was still very optimistic about this young person. He thought this young person had a lot of ideas. Although her ideas often sounded absurd, once they were done, he found that they were actually achievable.
Especially once it is realized, it will be very beneficial to the development of their commune.
Zhou Xian was not a hypocritical person, so he immediately stood up and said to Secretary He, "Thank you Secretary He, I will do my best."
"Thank you, Director Ji. I will definitely not let you and Secretary He down."
Director Ji felt a little reluctant to leave, but when he thought that after all they were still in the commune and they were still colleagues, he felt much better.
Secretary He asked Zhou Xian to go to the Women's Federation to pack up first and come over officially tomorrow morning.
In the Women's Federation office, Secretary Chen and Secretary Li were surprised but felt it was natural when they heard that Zhou Xian had been transferred by Secretary He to be his secretary.
The two of them pulled Zhou Xian aside and expressed their feelings again.
"It's okay, it's okay. You are still in the commune anyway. I will come to play with you later." Li Lingling said with a smile.
Although Director Ji had put aside his prejudice against Li Lingling, he still laughed angrily when he heard her words, "You want to play with Xiao Zhou? Are you going to quit your job?"
"Then I can look for him when I get off work." Li Lingling thought about her past appearance and felt a little guilty in front of Director Ji.
Thinking that Xiao Zhou would go to work as Secretary He's secretary tomorrow, Director Ji didn't say anything else and told Zhou Xian to pack up his things and not to leave anything behind.
"It's okay if you fall behind. We'll be there in just two steps. Our office is not far away," said Secretary Chen.
Although we have only been together for a short time, I was still very happy when working together. I am a little reluctant to let this person go because he is being transferred.
Zhou Xian felt a little sad, but he still remembered that he had something to talk to Secretary He about.
However, now that she was going to work as a secretary for her boss, she felt that her way of expression had to change.
After packing up his things, Zhou Xian got busy at his desk and revised the plan.
After returning home, I told my family that I had been transferred from the Women's Federation to Secretary He's work.
"Is this another promotion?" Ge Guifen didn't understand, so she asked her old man.
Zhou Jiefang didn't expect that his daughter had only been working in the commune for a short time and she had already been transferred to be Secretary He's secretary.
Secretary He is the top leader of their commune. Being his secretary, your salary is definitely higher than that of working as an officer in the Women's Federation.
Ge Guifen was so surprised that she dropped her chopsticks on the ground.
In her opinion, a salary increase is equivalent to a promotion.
There was one thing Zhou Jiefang didn't say. As a secretary for the top leader, his daughter might have the opportunity to become the leader of the commune in the future.
Thinking of this, he became a little uneasy, but that was all matter for the future, and there was no sign of it yet, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
If the boss hears it, it will have a bad impact on my daughter.
But I'm still excited in my heart.
