211: No Reason to Join the Propaganda Team
Yu Xiaoye took the opportunity to educate:
"So, it's so inconvenient not being able to read. You can't even write a letter. If you two could both read, you could write to each other and tell each other everything you want in private."
Yu Erye was also fascinated by what his younger sister said.
Yes, he had never thought that he could write a letter to Cuihua, but after hearing what his younger sister said, he also felt that he could communicate with Cuihua.
Otherwise, Cuihua would be in her hometown, not even knowing whether he was alive or dead, and it was possible that her parents would really marry her off to someone else.
Yu Erye was about to ask Xiaomei for help, but just as he was about to speak, Yu Xiaoye suddenly saw something and hurriedly stood up and said:
"Second brother, wait a minute, I have something else to do——"
He ran away before he finished speaking.
Yu Erye stood up and looked at his little sister running away, shouting:
"Why did you leave? Could you help me find someone to write a letter?"
"I'll help you find someone to write the letter." Yu Xiaoye ran forward without looking back.
"Don't forget!"
"I won't forget!"
Yu Xiaoye solemnly agreed to his second brother and ran straight forward.
She saw Jia Song.
She went to the office to look for Jia Song early this morning, but Jia Song had ridden his bike to the field office and she couldn't find him.
At this moment, seeing Jia Song coming back from the field office from afar, he hurried over and shouted:
"Brother Jia!"
Jia Song just stopped his bicycle at the office door. When he heard Yu Xiaoye calling him, he said without raising his head:
"You're here just in time. I have something to talk to you about."
Yu Xiaoye suddenly felt an ominous premonition:
"What's going on?"
Jia Song raised his head and smiled brightly, keeping the question a secret:
"Good news!"
Yu Xiaoye's ominous feeling became even more serious:
"What good news?"
Jia Song stared at Yu Xiaoye and said happily:
"Each branch is forming a propaganda team for this year and rehearsing a program to perform at each company. I've recommended you to the head of the propaganda section, and he asked me to bring you over to show him."
After Jia Song finished speaking, he waited for Yu Xiaoye to jump up and cheer happily.
However, Yu Xiaoye's face was filled with fear as if he had been struck by lightning.
This reaction surprised Jia Song:
"Why, such a great thing, you are not happy?"
"Propaganda Team..."
"Yes, each branch has this propaganda team every year. They practice part-time rehearsals, and are fully off-duty during performances, performing in various companies. After the performances, they return to their original positions. However, many people have also received promotions and transfers because of this performance, and some have even joined the propaganda departments of the division headquarters and the main farm. In short, this is a great opportunity for you. You must work hard and don't bring shame to our Eighth Company. Strive to leave the Eighth Company. Maybe you can even take the opportunity to get a formal job."
Jia Song painted a bright picture of the prospects of joining the propaganda team, and anyone who heard it would be tempted.
However, instead of feeling excited, Yu Xiaoye felt overwhelmed.
That’s the propaganda team!
This is the heroine's battlefield. A lot of messy and even terrifying things will happen there, and she doesn't want to join in the fun.
Moreover, when rehearsing and performing, they will most likely have to live on site, and their family will have to be separated temporarily. Her parents will not be able to go to her space to wash and dress, and even she herself will not be able to enter and exit the space freely, which is very inconvenient for their family.
So she didn't want to go.
As for the opportunity that Jia Song mentioned, it was indeed a great opportunity in Jia Song's eyes, but not for Yu Xiaoye.
There are many opportunities in the future, and there is no need to wade into muddy waters and risk becoming cannon fodder for the protagonist.
Now she just hopes to stay in the company peacefully and be with her parents. It happens that the current situation at home still needs her and needs her space.
Especially now that her second brother has just returned and the situation at home is still unstable, she has to stay and help this strange family further integrate.
So, no matter how she thought about it, she had no reason to join the propaganda team.
"Brother Jia, I don't want to join the propaganda team." Yu Xiaoye told the truth.
"Are you crazy? Such a good opportunity!" Jia Song cursed at him, and his saliva almost sprayed on Yu Xiaoye's face.
After a while, Jia Song said again:
"I don't care. I've already said it. The chief asked me to bring you over to him. You have to go!"
Yu Xiaoye sighed:
"Since this is a good opportunity, I will carry forward the fine tradition of learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds, and give the opportunity to others."
Jia Song pointed at Yu Xiaoye's nose and said in a scornful tone:
"Don't give me that shit, you have to go whether you want to or not."
After saying that, Jia Song took the leather bag from the cart basket, opened the office door and went in.
Yu Xiaoye followed Jia Song into the office, mumbling and complaining:
"Brother Jia, when did I sign the indenture with you? I have to obey your orders in everything I do."
Jia Song threw the leather bag on the table, sat in his usual seat like a big boss, and looked up at Yu Xiaoye:
"Then give me a reason not to go, preferably one that convinces me."
Yu Xiaoye: What the hell am I talking about? I'll scare you to death if I tell you!
Seeing Yu Xiaoye speechless, Jia Song smiled complacently:
"Since you can't come up with a reason, then come with me. Besides, I'm just asking you to go once, and they may not even pick you. We have nine companies in Wufen Field, and nine companies, not to mention a wealth of talented people, there are also a lot of talented singers and dancers. The propaganda team is only selecting ten people, and there are so many people watching them, do you think you can just get picked so easily?"
Jia Song's words made Yu Xiaoye feel relieved.
That's true. Even if she goes, there's no guarantee that she will be chosen!
In the original book, the female educated youth who could join the propaganda team were either talented and beautiful, or had some connections, or were
Those who are highly respected in the company are all outstanding female educated youth.
She has no advantage in anything, and she is not even a regular farm worker on the farm, not even a non-staff member. There is no reason to choose her. At most, she will be a foil and will be eliminated after just going through the motions.
What are you afraid of?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoye immediately felt relieved.
Forget it, give Jia Song some face and just go with him.
I agreed immediately.
Before agreeing, he suddenly thought about it and smiled cunningly:
"Brother Jia, how about this? I'll go with you. But could you please keep an eye out for me? If the farm needs any help, you can consider my second brother. It doesn't matter if it's hard work, dirty work, or tiring work. Although my second brother may not have much education, he has a lot of strength. If there's work that others are unwilling to do, let him do it."
Jia Song smiled bitterly:
"Yu Xiaoye, Yu Xiaoye, you're really a shrew. You never miss any opportunity to negotiate with me. Even for such a trivial matter, you still want to negotiate with me!"
"Brother Jia, how can this be called negotiating conditions? Even in ancient times, people would recommend themselves. Now I'm recommending my second brother to the farm. Isn't that too much?"
Jia Song was very impressed by Yu Xiaoye's eloquence.
Very convinced!
"Then why don't you recommend him to the director? I see you have a good relationship with him. It would be easy for you to ask him for help. He can arrange a job for your second brother in just a few words!"
