Chapter 96 New Secretary
Zhou Xian led six educated youths to the Taohua Brigade.
This time, the Taohua Brigade was divided into four men and two women. One of them was a pale and thin male educated youth named Guo Jinxing, who was from the county town and was also the male supporting role reported by the system.
The male and female protagonists in this book are Zhao Siqing and Qiao Donglin, who have already been sent to a labor camp.
Logically speaking, Zhao Siqing should have been able to use her advantage and Guo Jinxing to show off her skills in the black market, but now that she is in jail, she naturally no longer has this opportunity.
There is no scene in the book about Guo Jinxing going to the countryside, so I don’t know which direction the plot will go now.
From the original plot, Zhou Xian knew that Guo Jinxing was a black market trader. The black market at this time is naturally against the regulations, and anyone caught will definitely be sent to a labor camp.
Zhou Xian would not meddle in this matter. The black market developed because of the need. During the most difficult times, who could guarantee that the people in the county town had never bought food on the black market? I just felt that Guo Jinxing seemed familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere, but I couldn't remember where he was for a moment.
I also thought that I had been to the county town several times before, and I might have seen it somewhere but just didn't notice it.
She didn't mention it either.
There was another male educated youth who was also tall and thin, wearing glasses. He seemed very shy and always walked at the back.
He walked forward with the big package pressing on his back.
The other educated youth were quite lively. They still had topics to talk about with Zhou Xian, who was only a few years older than them, and they all took the initiative to introduce their names.
If they asked about Baihua Commune and Taohua Brigade, Zhou Xian would also tell them.
After walking a few steps, Zhou Xian looked back and saw that the male educated youth had fallen behind for some distance, so he slowed down his pace.
Female educated youth Zhang Weihong shouted at him, "Yan Qiyuan, hurry up."
"Do you know each other?" another female educated youth, Duan Xiaoying, asked curiously.
"Yes, we went to the same high school." Zhang Weihong turned her head to look at the male educated youth named Yan Qiyuan and couldn't help but sigh.
She walked towards Yan Qiyuan and said, "How about I help you?"
"No, I can do it, thank you." Yan Qiyuan glanced at Zhang Weihong and shook his head at her.
Seeing that he refused, Zhang Weihong did not force him anymore, muttering, "Why are you so stubborn?"
By the time they arrived at the brigade, it was already getting dark.
Zhou Jiefang had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I was also worried that something might happen if he didn't come so late.
When they saw the educated youth arriving, they took them to the educated youth site and let them settle down.
"Tomorrow you will have a day off. See if you need to buy anything and go to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. You have to go to work the day after tomorrow. As for your rations, we will also distribute them to you. It will be considered as credit from the brigade. It will be deducted from your work points later."
The brigade had arranged everything. The educated youth counted and found that there was no problem, so they didn't say anything.
After finishing the explanation, Zhou Jiefang took Zhou Xian back.
The educated youth also have their own team leaders in charge.
When Zhou Xian went to work the next day, he found that Li Dong had made Secretary He unhappy again.
This male protagonist is really talented, he shows his tactlessness to the end.
At this moment, the system actually sounded an alarm.
A red exclamation mark appeared on the system's transparent panel.
【alarm! alarm! It was detected that the male protagonist Li Dong had a tendency to turn evil, which went against the male protagonist's halo. 】
[Start the side quest and stop the male protagonist Li Dong from hurting others.] 】
Zhou Xian thinks the system is good in every way except for its rigid data.
It is normal for the male protagonist to hurt the female protagonist, but hurting others goes against the male protagonist's halo and is double standard. Such a male protagonist should be sent to labor reform and given more hard and tiring work to do. He will fall asleep after doing too much work, so he will not have time to turn evil.
Secretary He would ignore him if he could. When he saw Zhou Xian coming, he called her over.
"Xiao Zhou, go find a secretary for Vice President Li. It must be a male one." Secretary He came very early today. He thought about it all night and felt that it would not work to just find someone to keep an eye on Li Dong.
Not only is this an unfounded move, he is also not in the right.
It would be troublesome if Li Dong bites back at him.
After thinking about it, they thought of Zhou Xian and decided to give Li Dong the title of secretary and find a male comrade to supervise him to prevent him from making any mistakes and catching them off guard.
As a result, Li Dong even said that if he wanted a secretary, he only wanted Dong Wenwen.
Who does he think he is? He only wants Dong Zhiqing. His face is thicker than the corner of the city wall.
The more this happened, the more Secretary He felt that Li Dong had ulterior motives.
"I only want Comrade Dong Wenwen to be my secretary." Li Dong said indifferently.
Zhou Xian turned his back and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Who is in charge of this commune, you or me? I tell you, you must find a secretary, and he must be gay."
Moreover, there are no requirements on the ability of Li Dong's secretary, but he must be honest and obedient.
"You are not allowed to go." Seeing Zhou Xian was about to leave, Li Dong looked over with a warning look.
Zhou Xian ignored his gaze and went out with Secretary He's instructions.
"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, what's going on again?" President Hu heard the noise coming from Secretary He's office from a distance.
Zhou Xian spread his hands, looking helpless.
President Hu looked at her, then looked in the direction of the office, his expression was indescribable, "Comrade Li again?"
"Secretary He has something for me to do, so I'll leave first."
President Hu nodded and waved to Zhou Xian to go first. When he was heading towards the office, he ran into Li Dong who walked out with a cold look on his face.
After knocking him away, he walked straight away.
President Hu and Secretary He are on the same side, so this matter was not hidden from him. Otherwise, if President Hu knew that Vice President Li Dong was assigned a secretary but not him, the president, he would be upset.
However, no one mentioned that Li Dong had set his sights on the female educated youth. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. Otherwise, if it got out, it would be bad for the female educated youth's reputation.
"I don't need a secretary, but Comrade Li's situation does require someone to look after him." President Hu felt that Secretary He's idea was correct.
If no one is found to watch over Li Dong, something bad might happen.
After a while, Zhou Xian came back.
She recommended candidates for secretary to Secretary He.
"Your second brother?" Secretary He looked at Zhou Xian in surprise.
Facing Secretary He's probing gaze, Zhou Xian did not back down. Instead, he smiled and said, "I found him according to your requirements. He must be honest, literate, and most importantly, a male comrade."
Secretary He couldn't help laughing. It really met his requirements.
"I do have a selfish desire to help my family, but my second brother also has other advantages, otherwise I would not dare to recommend him to you."
"What are the advantages?"
"He's very strong. My second brother is the strongest among my three brothers. If Vice President Li makes a mistake, my second brother will definitely be able to hold him down."
"What else?"
"My second brother is a stubborn person. Once he makes up his mind, it's hard to change his mind. Let him do the work. I don't worry that he will be bribed by Vice President Li."
Zhou Xian must have had selfish motives in choosing his second brother. Of course, the most important point is that Comrade Ge Guifen often brainwashed her three brothers at home, asking them to love their sister.
Comrade Ge Guifen took action and easily captured the second brother.
This Li Dong not only has a tendency to turn evil, but the book also says that in his previous life he would always strangle the heroine by the neck. It is obvious that he has a tendency to violence. If he really goes crazy, most people will not be able to stand him.
The second brother is a very suitable person. Her strength comes from the pills taken from the system. Although the second brother is not as strong as her, compared with ordinary people, this strength is innate.
Secretary He saw that Zhou Xian had taken all these into consideration and did not say anything else, but he still wanted to meet her second brother Zhou Shoumin first.
When Zhou Xian returned home, he told his family about this and wanted to bring his second brother Zhou Shoumin to the commune to be the secretary of Vice President Li.
Others didn't react that strongly, but Zhou Shoumin almost dropped his bowl.
"I can't be the vice president's secretary. No, no, I can't do it. Little sister, you know that my grades in the literacy class are not good. It will be bad if I make the boss unhappy again."
"Girl, why is it your second brother?" Zhou Jiefang was also confused.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he raised all the doubts in the family's mind.
"I found it according to Secretary He's request. I considered my eldest brother and third brother, but only my second brother is the most suitable."
"But to be a secretary, one must be as smart as you." Ge Guifen glanced at her second son and then at her daughter.
It’s not that she looks down on the second child, she just can’t understand why it is the second child.
Wu Xiufang was not very happy, "Mom, my younger sister must be doing this because my son Shoumin has good qualities."
"Yes, the reason why I chose the second brother is indeed because of his advantages. He is the strongest and is most suitable for the job of secretary."
Speaking of his own strength, Zhou Shoumin's eyes immediately lit up, "That's right, if nothing else, I still have quite a bit of strength, just come to me for any heavy work."
"Why do I have to do heavy work as a secretary to a leader?" Zhou Jiefang was even more puzzled.
Then shouldn’t being a secretary be a job that requires brainpower?
How did it become a physical job?
Zhou Xian didn't say much about Li Dong's situation. She just said that it was Secretary He who told her to look for him. This way, other people in the family wouldn't ask any more questions since the leader had already spoken.
Ge Guifen's expression changed immediately, and she asked Zhou Shoumin about his well-being, "Second brother, you are lucky to have this opportunity. When you go to the commune, you are not very smart. If you don't understand something, just ask your younger sister, okay? You should do whatever she says, but don't make mistakes and use less strength. If you damage the commune's things, we will have to pay for it."
The second child has been strong since he was young, but he is still a little behind my daughter.
So when Zhou Xian suddenly became stronger, her family members didn't suspect that this was the reason. With the second child leading the way, it was not surprising that the girl was also very strong.
Zhou Shoumin didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, "Mom, don't worry, I will. I'm just afraid that I won't do well and will make the leader unhappy."
"Don't worry about that. I'll teach you how to do it when the time comes."
That night, the second child was so excited that he went to bed very late. Knowing that he was chosen because of his strength, Zhou Shoumin held up a child in one hand and tried it out, and he smiled foolishly for a long time.
The next morning, I found my best clothes and put them on.
He doesn't know how to ride a bicycle, and since Zhou Xian has to take his sister-in-law Hu Lanhua with him, it naturally becomes difficult for Zhou Shoumin to take care of her as well.
They were originally planning to walk over together, but Zhou Shoumin waved his hand and said, "No need, you and your sister-in-law go first, I'll run to the commune."
Zhou Xian simply said, "I'll send my sister-in-law over first, and then come back to pick you up."
Zhou Shoumin felt sorry for his bicycle and told Zhou Xian not to worry about him, but Zhou Xian had already rushed out on his bicycle.
When we turned back to pick him up, Zhou Shoumin had already walked half the distance. He was jogging all the way and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
Zhou Xian gave him his handkerchief and said, "Brother, dry yourself and get in the car."
Zhou Shoumin was deeply moved to see his sister come back to pick him up.
He wiped his face casually with the handkerchief and put it in his pocket. "I'll wash this handkerchief for you later, and return it to you after it's dried."
He knows that my younger sister likes cleanliness.
Nowadays, women in the family have jobs, and men are also learning to do laundry and cooking. Otherwise, if women come home late from get off work, they will go hungry. It is better for them to learn to cook some simple dishes to fill their stomachs.
But in the end, they were too embarrassed to go to the river to wash clothes. They could only wash them secretly at home, for fear that other men in the team would see them and laugh at them.
Zhou Xian responded and told his second brother some things.
Anyway, the point is, listen to Secretary He and her in everything.
When Secretary He and she are both here, listen to Secretary He. If you don’t understand, ask her later.
Secretary He is not here, so just listen to her.
"Okay, I understand."
"Your job as a secretary is to keep an eye on Vice President Li and follow him everywhere, even to the toilet. Do you understand?"
"Know."
Zhou Xian was very satisfied with Zhou Shoumin's answer.
Look, her second brother is like that. He just does the task as given to him and never asks any questions.
Zhou Xian brought his second brother to Secretary He, who looked him up and down and reminded him of a few things. He found that Zhou Shoumin was indeed as Zhou Xian said, and was very satisfied with it.
"Xiao Zhou, take your brother to Vice President Li and tell him that this is the new secretary we found for him."
"Okay." Zhou Xian responded and took Zhou Shoumin to Li Dong.
