469: New Year’s Day Commendation Conference
..
The frost on Shao Xia's eyelashes began to melt, and her eyes were wet:
"Yes, I was also selected by our company to attend the meeting. I was quite surprised. Moreover, I think I was selected as an outstanding individual this year."
"Really? Congratulations!"
Shao Xia smiled embarrassedly:
"It's all thanks to you. I guess it's because our branch propaganda team's performance was quite successful before, so our company chose me. Otherwise, how would I have this opportunity?"
Yu Xiaoye was very happy for Shao Xia:
"Anyway, you've been chosen. It's an honor for you."
"By the way, I came here to thank you for the pastries you sent to my dad. He received them and guessed I had someone send them to him. He wrote to me and said he was very surprised and surprised when he received the package. It was rare to see pastries from his hometown thousands of miles away." New Novel King
As she spoke, tears welled up in Shao Xia's eyes.
Yu Xiaoye had actually forgotten about this matter a long time ago. But when Shao Xia mentioned it, he remembered:
"Really? I'm glad your dad received it. It's a token of our appreciation."
Shao Xia was about to say something else when Sister Song from the propaganda team saw many people pouring into the backstage area and began to rudely shoo them out:
"All unrelated personnel, please leave and do not interfere with our preparations!"
Shao Xia heard that they were starting to drive people away, so she didn't dare to stay any longer. She took Yu Xiaoye's hand and said quickly:
"Oh, Uncle Yu is here too, along with Secretary Jia. We came in the same car. I'm leaving now. I'll come see you after the meeting!"
"good."
Shao Xia finished speaking hurriedly, turned around and left the backstage.
Yu Xiaoye continued to put makeup on other team members. Thinking that he would see his father, Brother Jia and other old acquaintances soon, Yu Xiaoye was very happy and hoped that the meeting would end quickly.
At 9:30 in the morning, the New Year’s Day commendation conference officially began.
The auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of people, was packed. Everyone was wearing their most precious clothes, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
A row of tables were set up on the stage. The chief, three deputy chiefs, and four managers of Mishan Farm were all present, as well as several other key leaders. Each leader had a microphone wrapped in red silk cloth in front of him.
Zhou Ziheng, the youngest and highest-ranking leader on the stage, sat in the middle. His thin military uniform made him look particularly young and capable.
When the people in the audience saw this, they all looked at him with envy and admiration.
Who wouldn’t envy someone who has such a demeanor at such a young age?
Yu Xiaoye stood at the backstage entrance and peeked at the stage. Although he could only see Zhou Ziheng's back, he was also intimidated by his righteous aura.
Compared with the older leaders next to him, Zhou Ziheng looks so young!
It seems that I can no longer call him an old cadre.
He just has the style of an old cadre. In fact, compared with real old cadres, Zhou Ziheng is still very young.
However, the more Zhou Ziheng acted dignified and majestic in front of others, the more Yu Xiaoye would unconsciously recall the kind of reserved and coquettish aura Zhou Ziheng had when he held her in his arms.
I’m afraid no one in this world would dare to believe that the dignified Director Zhou would behave like that in private, right?
Don’t think too much!
When the time came, Secretary Jiang, wearing a Mao suit and holding a wired microphone, walked onto the stage and began to preside over the meeting:
"Dear leaders, distinguished guests, fellow proletarian farmers and workers, welcome to the Mishan Farm New Year's Day Commendation Ceremony. First, we would like to invite Director Zhou to deliver a speech. Welcome everyone!"
"Wow—"
There was warm applause from the audience.
Zhou Ziheng sat upright, cleared his throat, turned on the microphone in front of him, and finally glanced at the speech manuscript.
Then, his powerful voice echoed throughout the auditorium:
Comrades, today we at Mishan Farm of the Thirteenth Regiment are holding our annual New Year's Day meeting. First of all, thank you all for attending on time.

..
In the past year, with the concerted efforts of the entire farm, our farm has achieved good results.
A total of more than 4,000 acres of new land were reclaimed throughout the year, and three new production companies were established.
Twelve new water conservancy projects were built.
There are 720 warehouses, dormitories and offices in total.
The total grain production for the whole year reached 29.18 million jin.
One hundred and six thousand five hundred kilograms of poultry and livestock meat were handed over to the state.
The production of fruits, vegetables and melons was 3.47 million kilograms, and the production of fish was 82,000 kilograms.
The various sub-fields and companies conducted a total of 85 combat readiness drills.
"We have accomplished the tasks assigned by the Corps with flying colors. This hard-won achievement is inseparable from the hard work of every soldier and every employee, among whom many outstanding individuals, collectives, and cadres have emerged..."
Zhou Ziheng's speech lasted ten minutes. He summarized the achievements of the previous year, made commendations, and specifically praised individuals and groups that made outstanding contributions.
His Mandarin with a Beijing accent is very standard, his pronunciation is clear and his voice is powerful, not inferior to that of a professional announcer.
After he finished speaking, Chief Wei from the Propaganda Department took over.
Section Chief Wei turned on the microphone and began to announce the outstanding representatives selected by each company according to the list, and invited them to come on stage to receive the awards.
Each sub-venue was divided into a group, and they took turns going on stage. The head of the Propaganda Section and the director of the Political Department presented them with certificates and prizes - an enamel teacup with a lid and the word "award" printed on it.
According to the internal rules, each company has two quotas, one for old employees and one for educated youth.
And to be fair, these two people are usually a combination of one man and one woman.
The outstanding representatives of the Eighth Company of Wufenchang are the female farm-worker platoon leader Zhu Dali and another male educated youth.
The outstanding representatives of the Ninth Company are the female educated youth Shao Xia and another old employee.
Outstanding representatives went on stage and received certificates of honor
Qi Mingxuan from the Propaganda Department took a camera and went to the stage to take pictures of them.
The female comrades were in front and the male comrades were behind. Everyone held up the certificate in their hands with a proud expression on their face.
Awards were given out to outstanding individuals, and then the most popular performances came next.
This was much more interesting than the award ceremony. Everyone stretched their heads to look at the stage.
"Next, we would like to invite propaganda team members Zhang Guangming and Shen Jianye to perform the crosstalk performance 'Such Labor'!"
"good!"
Amidst applause, an educated youth from Jinshi and another from the province, wearing work clothes issued by the farm, walked from the backstage to the stage with smiles on their faces.
The two men showed off their unique sense of humor as people from Jinshi and Northeast China, singing and bickering with each other, making the audience laugh.
After the crosstalk ended, everyone was still not satisfied and shouted to the stage, "Do it again, do it again."
Seeing the audience's enthusiastic response, the two men had to return to the stage and perform another segment with the consent of the publicity team leader Sister Song.
After the crosstalk performance, Secretary Jiang walked onto the stage again to announce:
"Now, please welcome the propaganda team to perform the dance 'The Red Detachment of Women'!"
The symphony orchestra that was already waiting on the stage began to play music.
A line of female soldiers rushed out from the stage entrance and danced to the exciting music.
Next, the awards ceremony and performances will be held alternately.
When it came to selecting outstanding cadres, Yu Jiahui, the newly appointed militia chief of the Wufen Field, was unexpectedly among those being praised. He received a red certificate and a tin thermos.
More than two hours passed by unknowingly.
