Chapter 103 Commendation Meeting

The next morning, the Lu family got up early to dress up. Those who had new clothes wore new clothes, and those who didn't wear new clothes wore New Year clothes.

Tiantian and Panpan dressed the best. They were really new inside and outside, showing the Lu family's financial resources and Lin Shu's needlework skills.

The two children wore the same clothes. The innermost layer was a sweater and trousers woven with white gloves, and the outer layer was a cotton jacket with a new surface and new lining. The outermost layer was a small military uniform made of imitation military fabric.

The government has regulations that non-active military personnel cannot wear real five-pointed red stars, so Lin Shu gave them small hats and collars and embroidered red stars with red thread herself.

In order to prevent fading after washing, she embroidered a few red stars and then fastened them on the children's clothes with hidden buttons, so that when they took them off during washing, the red stars would not fade.

The two children also wore new cotton shoes.

They stood in front of them and saluted like their father, "Comrade Lin Shu, you have worked hard!"

Lin Shu smiled and replied, "Serving the children!"

Fang Dihua was wearing New Year's clothes. Originally, Lin Shu wanted to make a new set of clothes for her and Old Man Lu, because their family had a lot of cloth coupons this year.

In addition to the cloth coupons for one set of clothes per person per year, there were also two meters of cloth coupons as rewards for sending mission pigs, and Fang Dihua bought several meters of cloth from Lu Dasao's family, which had been weaving cloth.

In addition to this, their family also rewarded some cloth coupons in the past six months!

Lin Shu and Fang Dihua were praised by the Public Security Bureau several times, Lin Shu and Lu Dasao took pictorials, and Lu Lao's performance as a barefoot doctor was so outstanding that even the county hospital became famous...

There was really no shortage of them.

Fang Dihua didn't want any either, as long as the clothes were wearable, she didn't want that false reputation, but she let the old man make a new one so that she could wear it back to the county and look more decent.

She also felt sorry for her third daughter-in-law and didn't want to tire Lin Shu.

Lin Shu was busy before she went to the city, and she was even busier after coming back from the city. Some people asked her to make clothes for them, and some for the family members. She also planned to make new clothes for Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin Yue.

Even if Lin's father and mother felt sorry for her and refused to take them, Lin Yue still had to make them.

After all, he is a young man with a job. He will have more opportunities to show his face in the future, so he has to dress decently. If

Uncle Lu doesn't go to the commune, he still has to go to work, even if he doesn't go to work today. However, patients who don't understand this will definitely be disappointed if they come from far away and don't see him.

If someone is sick and sad, the disappointment will aggravate the pain.

Uncle Lu doesn't want to disappoint others, so he would rather go to the infirmary.

Second Brother Lu doesn't go either. He wants to go to the production team to weave mats.

He is dexterous and can weave mats and baskets better than others. They are stronger, more durable and more beautiful.

The production team leader said that the kang mats he weaves can be sold for two yuan more than others, and he will be given one yuan for the extra two yuan.

Fang Dihua said that besides the work points, any extra money earned from weaving mats and baskets for the team should be hers and not be paid to the public.

Second Brother Lu saw that his elder brother, elder sister-in-law, and third brother could all earn pocket money for their wives and children, so he wanted to do the same.

He didn't smoke or drink, so he didn't have much to spend, and he wanted to buy some candy for his daughter-in-law and something for his wife.

First Brother Lu was quite disappointed that Second Brother Lu didn't go, but it didn't matter, because he was the accountant and was going to bring all the advanced families in the brigade.

Of course, the brigade secretary, brigade leader, and others also went, but they thought that since he had just become the brigade accountant this year, they wanted him to show up for the brigade.

He really likes to show up!

He stuffed two pens into his left breast pocket very seriously, then smiled at Tiantian and Panpan, "How is it?"

The two kids nodded, "Handsome!"

This was learned from Lin Shu, because Lin Shu said Lu Shaotang was handsome.

Second Sister-in-law Lu was also dressed in new clothes. She had new clothes made last year, so she didn't need to make new clothes this year.

She was wearing clip shoes made for her later.

The shoes fit her feet well and looked good, proving that Lin Shu didn't deliberately target her at all, and she made them for her with the same care.

Second Sister-in-law Lu was still very satisfied.

She wore them when she went back to her parents' home a while ago, and her sisters were very jealous.

Because they were so beautiful, her sister-in-law wanted hers, and I helped her sister-in-law not to be stingy.

In the end, she was reluctant to give it to others, and just said that she would give her sister-in-law two feet of cloth with cloth coupons.

As a result, my sister-in-law said that she had issued cloth coupons and asked Lu Ersao to buy the cloth, and she could just ask Lin Shu to make a new pair of shoes for her and then give them to her.

Previously, the team did not distribute dividends or issue cloth coupons, so she had an excuse to fool around.

Now the team has issued cloth coupons, and my mother-in-law has also...

Fang Dihua has taken out money to distribute dividends to each room, "After working hard for a year, the team has also issued dividends. I will give you a few yuan each. Go buy some cloth and buy what you like. Even if it is to honor your parents, I don't care as long as your husband and children agree."

In previous years, there was no extra income. The family only had dividends and the money sent back by Lu Shaotang. Lu Shaotang's money could not be touched casually, and there was almost no dividend left. The family had to repair the house, pay for the children's tuition, see a doctor for the family, and buy soap, kerosene, salt, cloth and other daily necessities. Everything cost money.

At most, each room can get five or eight yuan.

This year is much better. Father Lu has dividends for medical expenses, and Sister-in-law Lu and Brother Lu both have salary subsidies.

Fang Dihua was talking about giving half of these subsidies to the family, and keeping the other half for themselves.

After all, they had to hand over a certain amount of work points to the family.

This year, each family received 20 yuan.

Although 20 yuan seemed like a small amount to Lin Shu, it was a lot for others, enough for a small family to buy fabrics, vanishing cream, and the like for the New Year.

They could even give a few yuan to their parents' home.

It was good enough for other families to give their daughters-in-law 3 or 5 yuan for the New Year.

Lu Ersao was very happy at first when she got the money, but then she felt a little uncomfortable because she felt that Fang Dihua must have given Lin Shu more.

Lu Dasao received a subsidy every month as a tractor driver, but she only gave half of it to the family and kept the other half for herself, which was also a lot.

After all the calculations, I found that I had no extra money in my account.

Then I thought that now that I had money and bills, I could just take the fabric back today. Then I would have no excuse to fool my sister-in-law.

Do I really want Lin Shu to make another pair of shoes for my sister-in-law?

But Lin Shu was so busy that she could hardly raise her head all day. Fang Dihua cooked all the meals, and it didn’t look like she had time to make shoes for her for free.

Besides, she was a little reluctant

to leave. She had been holding back from going back to her parents’ home, but she had to go back before the Chinese New Year and in the first month of the lunar year.

If she wasn’t afraid of bad luck, she would have wanted to pretend to be sick and not go back to her parents’ home.

Lin Shu saw that she kept glancing at her with a twinkling eye, and knew that she had something to plan, but she was too lazy to care.

Second sister-in-law became much quieter after being beaten by her mother-in-law, at least she no longer attacked her at every turn.

But she also became much more gloomy, and she was even more sulky than the original owner.

Internal friction and sulking are great poisons to the breast!

But she was too lazy to care about Second Sister-in-law Lu.

She put aside her helping complex for some people, and she only saved those who loved her.

Lu Ping, Lu An and Lu Cuicui were all dressed in new clothes, and they were also going to attend the commendation meeting.

This was even more grand and lively than the stilt-walking during the Chinese New Year, and it would be a big loss if they didn't join in.

Lu An: "Brother, hurry up, don't knit anymore."

Lu Ping learned to knit sweaters from Lin Shu.

Lin Shu was busy making clothes and had no time to knit sweaters for her children, most of which were knitted by Lu Ping.

He helped Lin Shu knit wool as soon as he got out of school, and now he works so fast that you don't even need to watch.

Old Lady Jiang had bought a lot of defective gloves for Lin Shu before, and there was still some cotton thread left after knitting a set of sweaters for the two children. Lu Ping felt sorry for his younger brother and wanted to knit a vest for him.

Cotton thread is limited, so we can only weave vests, which are also very warm when worn under a cotton quilt.

Big Brother Lu led the team, and he looked very heroic.

He wore an indigo accounting suit with four pockets that Lin Shu helped to make, a front cap on his head, cloth shoes on his feet, and a briefcase made of old cloth in his armpits.

He looked middle-aged and elderly, but because of his slender figure, handsome appearance, clear eyes and not being vulgar and greasy, he attracted the attention of a group of middle-aged and elderly women.

Lu Hehuan and Xu Xiaoyou also came.

The commune had such a lively event that all schools were on holiday because the principals and teachers also had to participate.

Originally, Xu's mother didn't want Xu Xiaoyou to come, but Fang Dihua went to pick him up in person, and she couldn't refuse.

She and Xu Shihua are now being manipulated by Fang Dihua and Lin Shu... They are angry every day.

Of course, Lu Xiuxiu also has to reunite with her family.

When the members heard that the commune was going to hold a commendation meeting today, they all went to visit.

A group of bad elements had just been sentenced at the last public trial meeting. Most of them were those who stole food during the autumn harvest, some had promiscuous relationships, and some were hooligans. Some were sentenced to ten or eight years and sent to labor reform farms, some were sentenced to three or five years and were forced to do self-reform in the brigade, and some were directly shot with heavy sentences. After the meeting, they were dragged to the river and shot.

People love excitement and will watch scary things, let alone commendation meetings?

They will watch them even more.

Old Changtou, Sun Widow, Liu Pozi and other families are no exception.

These people were all scolded by Fang Dihua. They all hoped that the Lu family would be in trouble, but they were also annoyed to see the Lu family getting better and better. Every day they felt that God was blind.

They invited Lu Shaocai to go to the commune together, but Lu Shaocai refused. He was drunk and crying at home.

Originally, he was supposed to lead the Lujiazhuang team at the end-of-year commune commendation meeting, but this year it was Brother Lu.

After the election failure, Lu Shaocai was a waste.

In contrast, Brother Lu was like a chicken with blood pumped up. He was full of passion every day. He not only organized accounting training for the production team, but also constantly trained himself to improve his accounting skills.

He even wanted to clear up the accounts of the brigade in the past few years!

Brother Lu led the Lujiazhuang Brigade to the commune, and was praised by Director Qin and other cadres as soon as he arrived at the commune.

"Accountant Lu is doing a great job!"

"Lujiazhuang's accounts are very clean this year!"

"Accountant Lu keep up the good work!"

"I heard that this year's accounts have been settled? It will be easier next year."

Brother Lu was so proud that he was so proud in an instant, but he forced himself to be very humble on his face, saying: "Rewards and awards are all what we should do. It's all the members who help."

Looking at him so modestly, Fang Dihua felt incredible.

Is he really good at pretending? Isn’t he the one who boasts to the sky after just two cups of wine at home?

However, even though Fang Dihua scolded her son at home, she felt proud of him when he went out, so naturally he had to support him and give him face.

After all, he is a working adult.

The leadership team of the commune headed by Director Qin enthusiastically shook hands and talked with the advanced members of the commune, because they felt a little regretful that Father Lu did not come.

They focused on talking to Lin Shu and Sister Lu and praising them. They were the key figures to be commended at this commendation meeting.

Sister Lu and her family also came. Although her father-in-law Ding Jiachang, as the deputy director of the grain station, was not considered a leader of the commune team, as a key unit of the commune, he naturally had to participate in such a commendation meeting.

Their unit also had advanced employees.

Sister Lu said to her father-in-law and the man happily: "Look at my eldest brother, he is getting more and more energetic. Look, the most beautiful one is my third brother's wife, she is very beautiful, even the stars in the magazines are not as beautiful as her, and she and my third brother are a perfect match."

Ding Jiachang praised repeatedly, "They are very good-looking, really good."

The old Ding family was also proud when the in -laws were commended.

He took the initiative to tell the stationmaster of the grain station: "Those people are my daughter-in-law's family. My in-laws are the best barefoot doctors commended by the county, and my sister-in-law is the most beautiful military wife."

The stationmaster also nodded repeatedly, "Congratulations."

Ding Jiachang was very happy.

Lu Hehuan turned around and couldn't find Xu Shihua among the teachers.

He should also participate, why is he nowhere to be seen?

Last year, Xu Shihua was named an excellent teacher and attended the event, but this year he refused to show up because the most popular person this year is the Lu family!

The most popular person is Lin Shu!

Why did he attend the event? To be a foil for others?

Are you overshadowed by others?

The leaders first praised the brigade.

The struggle brigade where the commune is located is naturally the most important brigade. It ranks first in work points and is also the first brigade in the commune.

As for the second one, it used to be the advance brigade, but this year...

The branch secretary and brigade leader of Lujiazhuang straightened their backs and their old faces were shining.

They are second this year!

In previous years, they were dragged down by that bastard Lu Shaocai.

One year, they handed in the wrong weight of public grain, which was a joke. They were criticized by name at the year-end meeting.

When Director Qin visited Lujiazhuang Brigade at the beginning of the year, the branch secretary, brigade leader, accountant, production team and members of Lujiazhuang Brigade applauded enthusiastically. It's

so glorious!

Proud!

After praising them, the leaders began to commend advanced families.

Despite the existence of related households, the Lu family is undoubtedly the first advanced family in the struggle commune!

Director Qin enumerated the glorious deeds of the Lu family with deep affection.

It started with the contributions made by Grandpa Lu to the neighbors, and then from donating houses and land to Uncle Lu and Lu Shaotang joining the army, and then it was Lu's father who became a barefoot doctor, Lin Shu and Fang Dihua were successively praised by the Public Security Bureau, and there was also Lu's sister-in-law's excellent tractor driver, etc. Counting them

one by one, the good deeds of the Lu family are really endless.

Lin Aidi was watching from below, envious and excited, with a little sourness and jealousy in her heart. She turned her head and showed off to those around her: "That most beautiful young wife is Lu Shaotang's wife. She is my sister. She and I grew up together, and our relationship is better than that of real sisters."

She felt happy when she heard the envy of people around her.

The three bald brothers were also there. They had successfully infiltrated the Lu family manor.

The bald man looked at the people on the stage. Although Lu Shaotang was not dead, they should... stop, but they thought that the Lu family was so rich.

The people in the credit union said that they had saved several thousand just for Lu Shaotang's salary.

What was the eight hundred?

So they still had to lie low for a long time, gain the trust of the target, and then get the money under a foolproof situation.

He decided to officially marry into the widow's family!

From now on, he is a member of Lujiazhuang.

The advanced families were announced, and the advanced individuals of the commune were also announced.

Father Lu, Fang Dihua, Lin Shu, Sister Lu, Brother Lu, Lian Panzier and Tian Baoer were all selected.

Director Qin especially praised Lin Shu and Sister Lu.

"Because of the selfless dedication of the two female comrades, who went to the tractor factory to take pictorials, our commune's tractor application will be particularly smooth next year. Originally, we could only apply to purchase two tractors, but now we can apply for four. If there are eight sets of agricultural machinery in operation, then the farming situation of our commune will be greatly improved, and we will no longer be afraid of delaying the farming season!"

"Good!"

The people below applauded.

Director Qin: "So, as an encouragement and thank you, our commune decided to reward the Lu family with a bicycle!"

"Wow, a bicycle!"

"Great."

"So happy."

Bicycles, who doesn't want one? Who can just ask for one?

In the entire Lujia Village, only the party secretary, the team leader, the production team leader, and the Lu Shaocai family have bicycles. Unless you work in the city, you can't afford a bicycle.

A bicycle costs at least 150-180, and you need a bicycle ticket, which is hard to get.

A family only gets 100 or 80 yuan in dividends a year, how can they afford to buy a bicycle?

The commune directly rewards them with a bicycle, how great!

Old Changtou was so jealous that his eyes were red.

Ding Jiachang nodded repeatedly and said to his son, "Your father-in-law's family is getting better and better. You should visit more often in the future."

Ding Runsheng also smiled and said, "Yes, my brother-in-law can return safely, and I feel that their ancestral tomb must be filled with smoke."

Rewarding bicycles, not to mention the members are jealous, Lin Shu, Fang Dihua, and Lu Dasao didn't expect it.

This is too unexpected!

Director Qin is really a good person, thinking about what they think.

I know that their family doesn't care about warm pots, washbasins, and teacups.

Of course, the three sets of warm pots, washbasins, and teacups should be rewarded, because there are also advanced individual awards!

Father Lu was rated as the fastest-improving barefoot doctor in Qing County!

According to reports from various brigades, communes, and county hospitals, Dr. Lu Baocheng of Lujiazhuang Brigade in Fendou Commune has seen more patients in six months than other barefoot doctors in a year, and even more than some barefoot doctors in two years.

The patients' feedback is mostly positive, and most of them are exaggerated. Even if they have an incurable disease, they can only endure it before, but now they can alleviate the pain appropriately and get psychological and spiritual care from Old Man Lu.

The patient's condition is also much better.

Moreover, many patients from other brigades come to see Old Man Lu for treatment.

The county hospital selected him as the fastest improving barefoot doctor and advanced barefoot doctor, and specially awarded him a certificate of award, a wash basin, a warm pot, a fountain pen, and a plastic notebook.

Next is Lin Shu.

Director Qin said excitedly: "Comrades from the People's Liberation Army Newspaper sent us a certificate of the most beautiful military wife. This is the supreme respect for the silent and selfless dedication of military wives!"

The old Changtou and others below were so jealous that they were numb.

In addition, Lin Shu was commended by the Public Security Bureau three times, and Lin Shu and Lu Dasao took pictorials, which also received rewards. In addition to warm washbasins, there were cloth coupons, soap coupons, kerosene coupons, etc.

Lu Dasao, as the best tractor operator in the commune, of course also received rewards. In addition to the certificate, there was also a pen and notebook.

Brother Lu has been an accountant for a short time, but his performance is outstanding. He also organized training for the production team accountants and settled this year's work points in advance. These are all worthy of praise!

The Lu family received awards until their hands were numb.

Not only did Lu Xiuxiu and the other children receive all the prizes, but even Tiantian and Panpan each held a wash basin.

These two kids were so eye-catching today, and they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they followed their parents to the stage.

Because the wash basin was a bit heavy, Panpan used it as a hat, causing everyone to look at him intently.

Lu Xiuxiu quietly helped him lift it up a little to prevent him from being crushed by the wash basin.

"Look at them, they are all like movie stars."

"Especially the most beautiful military wife and the most beautiful baby."

"If they can make a movie, it will definitely be great!"

Huzi, Huahua, Honghong and other children shouted in their parents' arms: "Tiantian and Panpan are our good friends!"

Xu Xiaoyou looked at them enviously from below, and after a while, she exclaimed, she said to Lu Hehuan: "Mom, my grandma Lu, my grandmother Fang and my aunt are so awesome."

Lu Hehuan was proud of her family and worried about Xu Shihua at the same time. Where did he hide?

She said, "Your father got it last year, too."

Xu Xiaoyou pouted, "He didn't let us participate even when he got it."

Lu Hehuan: "..."

She felt that Xu Xiaoyou was really spoiled by Lin Shu. Whenever she said something good about Xu Shihua, the child would immediately say something bad about him.

It felt like she was in charge of planting things and Xu Xiaoyou was the one who pulled them out.

After the meeting, some people left, while others lingered nearby to savor the experience.

Lin Shu and others were invited by Director Qin to go to the commune office.
