Chapter 215: Rush away

After breakfast that day, the phone rang at home. Tiantian picked it up quickly and heard the voice of her second uncle.

For this kind of line with frequent calls, the operator would directly connect it without asking.

Because the phone has an extension at Lu's house, as long as there is an incoming call, it will definitely be connected, so the branch secretary does not need to leave someone alone in the office to answer the phone. They still go to patrol every day.

The phone at Lu's house is basically answered by a few children. In order to answer the phone, they even arranged shifts and took turns to guard the phone.

The main reason is that the phone was newly installed and it was rare. Everyone wanted to answer it. When the electricity was first connected, Tiantian and Panpan took turns to be the light operator.

Jiang Weidong chatted with the children first, "Your second aunt wants you to come over, I will pick you up tomorrow?"

Tiantian immediately said, "Second uncle, my father is at home, you don't have to pick us up, just let him take us there tomorrow."

Jiang Weidong thought it was okay, so he would go when he got the goods.

Lin Shu asked if there was anything special and hung up the phone. There were too few phone lines these days, so just finish the business, no need to chat, if you occupy the line, others can't get through.

She discussed with the children, "Tomorrow morning, mom and dad will go there first, and when the second aunt gives birth, the second uncle will come to pick you, the eldest aunt, and the grandmother, okay?"

Tiantian pouted slightly, "Mom, we also want to see the second aunt's baby first."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Now the second aunt's house is not vacant, mom will help them to settle down, and then make two rooms for you to live in."

She can't ask the children to do anything directly now, they have to have a legitimate reason.

Several children thought about it, "Okay, the key is that Baoer must go with grandmother."

The three children tacitly agreed to do everything together, excluding Hou Bo and Hou Ying, because they are the older children and need to go to school.

Well, actually the three of them are in the first grade now, but after a few days they found that the things they learned in the first grade were too simple, they already knew them, so they would ask for leave immediately if there was something going on at home, and they didn’t feel that going to school was the most important thing at all.

Panpan said, "Studying is important, but studying is not the same as going to school. You can study at any time and any place, not necessarily in school." The main thing is that schools have classes in the morning and work in the afternoon. Anyway, they only study for half a day, so they might as well learn more by themselves.

The three of them seemed to play all day with Lin Shu, but in fact they had learned a lot of knowledge points. Anyway, Tiantian and Panpan are faster at accounting than Lu An, and if Lu Ping hadn't been trained as an accountant, he would be worse than Tiantian.

Since it won't interfere with his studies, he certainly doesn't mind taking a leave to go to his second aunt's house.

Going to his second aunt's house to see the baby is much more important than going to school.

In the past, Sister Lin would never allow her children to skip classes or go to school, but since her father-in-law and Hou Jianwen were suspended, her concept has changed a lot. What she used to care about is no longer important, and what she didn't care about before is now more important.

As long as the child is healthy and happy, she thinks it's better than anything else.

And after going to the countryside to live with her third sister's family, she found that she was really peaceful and happy, and she would no longer worry about what others say, what to compare, how to eat, drink and dress, etc.

She also put away all the hair ornaments she had made. Some of these hair ornaments were designed by Lin Shu, some were designed by her, and some were made by the girls according to their own ideas. They were varied, but they all looked good when worn on the head.

Daya and Erya now come to Lu Xiuxiu to make hair ornaments. Both girls are very skillful and well-behaved.

Hou Ying is in charge of teaching them.

Erya is very strong and is now learning to bend thin wire into various shapes. Daya is learning to wrap rags or colored gauze around them to make hairpins or hair ornaments. They look good, especially the bridal hair ornaments, which sell well.

According to Lin Shu's design of a complete set of red yarn flower arrangements plus hairpins, some people only buy two red flowers for 50 cents, or a bunch of them for 1 to 1.5 yuan, and a complete set for 3 yuan.

The main consumers are urban residents, who buy at least 1.5 yuan, and some buy 3 yuan. Country people either don't buy, or buy at least 50 cents. You have to

spend some money on a wedding, even if you think it's expensive, you will still grit your teeth and buy it.

Some brides can give away their hair flowers after they are used up, but those who don't want to give them away put them on the mirror, and they look red and festive every day.

Daya and Erya are still apprentices now. They come for three hours a day and get one meal. When they leave, Fang Dihua will ask Grandma Fang to give them more food, whether it is mixed grain pancakes or cornmeal cakes, so that they can take them back to feed their sisters.

When they become proficient, Lin Shu will share the wages with them.

Lin Shu did not share the head flowers with the team, and the branch secretary naturally did not ask about it. He thought it was just something for girls to play with, and it did not require any labor and did not give work points, so the team naturally did not share the money.

In fact, making small things such as head flowers and hairpins can make a lot of money.

The cheapest small hairpin costs two cents, and the cost is not even one cent. Most of them are five cents each, and there are also those that cost one, two, or three cents.

The cost is very cheap. Even the one that costs 30 cents is just an ordinary black hairpin plus rags, yarn and wire. The cost is no more than 6 cents.

Of course, the key is that Lin Shu can sell it. If someone else sells it, it will not be so easy to sell it no matter walking around the streets or going to the city. After

all, not everyone is as powerful as Pan Pan, who dares to sell anything for money without any fear. Most ordinary people can't open their mouths.

Going to the city to secretly sell eggs, sometimes you can sell them for 8 cents, and usually 7 cents each, but even most of the idle farmers will not sell them themselves.

It is difficult for people to take the first step to do something they have never done before.

It was troublesome to go into the city. It would be scary if I ran into a red armband. Carrying a basket, I always felt like I was carrying a bomb that could explode at any time. I dared not raise my head when I saw strangers. I was so ashamed when being stared at by people in the city

that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. How could I dare to ask to sell things there? Anyway, there were only three or four active people in a village. Others would rather let them sell things for them than sell them themselves.

Lin Shu packed two bags and brought some extra sugar, food coupons, jam, autumn pear paste and the like, whether to give to others or for her own use.

The next morning, when it was still dawn, Lin Shu left in Lu Shaotang's car.

When the children got up, they found that their parents had left long ago!

But they were fine, because mom had already made arrangements with them last night, and dad would leave so early when he came home if he wasn't on vacation, so sometimes they couldn't even see him.

Tiantian and Panpan took Hou Wei to the alley to play games with Huzi and a few others who had come over. There were so many games for kids to play.

They first played house, with you being the dad and me being the mom, and after they finished coaxing the baby, feeding him, giving him injections and attending classes, they started catching spies and beating up gangsters, and then they started dragging dads and uncles to get sterilized.

Song Youping came out of Lu Shaocai's house and saw several children playing happily in the alley. She smiled and said, "Tiantian and Panpan, your parents left early in the morning, did you know that?"

Tiantian was naive and said, "I don't know, we were still sleeping with perfume."

Song Youping laughed, "Why don't you take them with you? Don't you want to leave?"

Tiantian said, "My mother is going to my second aunt's house, she doesn't want us."

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Song Youping. After all, there are always those mean people in the village who like to tease children with words like "your mother doesn't want you anymore, your father doesn't want you anymore", and it seems very good to make the children cry.

Tiantian thought that I was not so naive, and I would not cry.

Panpan, the doctor who was responsible for giving Huzi several sterilizations, became unhappy when he heard this. He said to Song Youping, "Auntie Song, don't your parents want you anymore?"

Song Youping frowned and felt a little annoyed. "Of course not, why do you say that?"

Panpan swiftly picked up the scalpel on the top of a small tree branch, cut a hole in Huzi's belly, then used a leaf to stop the bleeding quickly. He said to Song Youping, "Look, you came to my house and saw my parents many times, but we never saw your parents once. If they didn't want you, why didn't they see you even once?"

Song Youping was so angry that her face turned blue. The little kid was so rude, so annoying!

She frowned, "Panpan, you are so rude, does your mother know?"

Panpan: "Aunt Song, this is rude? I thought I was polite, otherwise why did you say my parents didn't want us as soon as we met?"

Song Youping was blocked by him and didn't know what to say.

Yan Bin happened to come out of the yard. He had just gone to the toilet and heard what Song Youping and the children said through the yard wall. He laughed and said, "Secretary Song, you have been arguing with the kids so early in the morning?"

Song Youping was very angry at first, but when she saw Yan Bin, she suppressed her anger and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, how could I have an argument with kids, I was playing with them, right, Panpan?"

Hou Wei looked at them and shouted, "If you want to play, hurry over Come and line up for the sterilization. You can get a two-yuan subsidy if you get sterilized now. You can’t wait any longer.”

Yan Bin quickly surrendered, “I’m not married yet, so I can’t get sterilized.”

Song Youping smiled at him and said, “Yan Bin, what are you going to do later? Why don’t you come to the incense factory? I’ll make two boxes of high-end incense for you, and you can send them back to your family as gifts.”

Yan Bin was a little tempted, “Wouldn’t it be bad? This is a sideline business of the brigade, and I can’t just take it casually.”

It wasn’t much money, so he could buy it.

Song Youping smiled and said, "I am the commune's sideline supervisor. I can make the decision. I will help you to make sure everything is fine."

At this time, Lu Jinling ran out of the yard and saw Yan Bin and Song Youping chatting and laughing. She immediately went to Yan Bin and said to him, "Yan Bin, didn't you say you were going to the educated youth camp? Why are you chatting here? What kind of incense do you want? That's from my second uncle's house. I'll get it for

you." Yan Bin was a little embarrassed, "Forget it, don't do it. Don't make mistakes for me."

He turned around and left by himself, as if he didn't want to see the two girls competing for him.

But he was very pleased and proud in his heart.

He has always been the type of male peacock who spreads his feathers wherever he goes to attract the opposite sex.

He is basically passive, does not refuse, and is irresponsible. Whenever he has any petty things with a woman, it is the other party who seduces him.

Even if he is infatuated with a beauty like Lin Shu, he is just staring at her and will not run to her to show his courtesy or flirt with her secretly. If the other party's husband or boyfriend shows hostility towards him, he will retreat very vigilantly and use a safe distance to show that he is innocent and has no bad intentions.

He only needs to spread his peacock feathers in the same place, and young and beautiful girls will rush to him one after another, so he enjoys this sense of vanity and will not put himself in danger at all.

Past experience tells him that as long as he is not the one who initiated it, even if the affair leads to something bad, the girl can still help him settle it, and the girl will not have the face to blame him.

Moreover, the girl who takes the initiative to approach him will love him very much, the kind of girl who loves him wholeheartedly and naturally will not want to hurt him

. Now Lu Jinling, Song Youping and the two beautiful female educated youths in the educated youth center have all sent him very clear signals, but he does not take the initiative or refuse, but quietly enjoys their embrace and their secret competition for him.

This makes him feel very accomplished, and he feels that he is very handsome, young and promising, and charming.

Although the girls he liked in the military compound and the workers' compound in the capital were not interested in him, and the beautiful girls in the countryside like Lin Shu were not interested in him, he could still find a sense of superiority and confidence from the girls who approached him, even if they approached him because of his "identity as a person from the capital".

He enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of being pursued and snatched by girls. Even though he said "Don't do this, I don't want you to quarrel", he felt great in his heart.

Yan Bin left, but Lu Jinling and Song Youping were glaring at each other in the alley.

Lu Jinling sneered: "Song, I used to think you were very noble and disdainful of dealing with men. How come you are so enthusiastic when you see Yan Bin?"

Song Youping: "He asked me to help, I can't refuse."

The two of them started to argue back and forth.

Tiantian and Panpan stopped playing house and looked up at them.

Panpan was still young and her mouth moved quickly to learn something.

Finally, when Fang Dihua heard the noise and came out of the house to see what was going on, Song Youping and Lu Jinling said a few words to each other and then separated.

After they left, Panpan wondered, "Why did they quarrel?"

Tiantian: "Because Yan Bin talked to Secretary Song."

Panpan: "What's there to be angry about?"

Hou Wei: "It must be because Yan Bin doesn't want to get a vasectomy!"

Huzi: "Yes, Sanya's father didn't get a vasectomy and everyone laughed at him, so he got a vasectomy."

Song Youping went to the incense-making room and smiled at Fang Dihua: "Auntie, I want to try making high-end incense today. Can you recommend some to me? Jasmine and sandalwood, right?"

Fang Dihua: "Secretary Song, take a rest. There is hot sweet and sour fruit tea over there. You can go there to drink some tea, read a book, or listen to the radio."

If you were asked to make it, twenty incense sticks would require the materials of a hundred incense sticks. Even if they could be recycled, it would still be time-consuming and laborious, right?

Song Youping, however, acted as if she really wanted to help and insisted on doing it.

Fang Dihua thought for a moment, maybe Song Youping wanted high-end incense?

That was nothing, even high-end incense didn't cost much.

She said, "Song, if you need anything, just go there and get it, you don't have to make it yourself."

I don't know if her attitude irritated Song Youping or what, Song Youping's face changed, and she said aggrievedly, "Auntie, who do you think I am? I have always been serious about my work, but I have never taken advantage of the public."

Fang Dihua: Well, I didn't take advantage of you openly, we rushed over and forced you to take it.

Every time Song Youping came to the incense factory, she had to pack a bag of various incense. Usually, it was toilet incense, and in summer, it was mosquito coils. Now, she wanted to get her hands on high-end incense.

Although the cost of high-end incense is not high, the raw materials are purchased from other places, and the quantity is limited. Sometimes, if it is not available there, you have to wait here. High

-end incense is sold at a high price, but the commission of the brigade is the same as that of ordinary toilet incense. Brother Lu is willing to sell it, and Fang Dihua is also willing to make it.

Naturally, she was reluctant to let Song Youping take it away one bag

at a time. In the past, she took toilet incense and mosquito coils, and at first she only took a few handfuls, and later she took them away by bag. At first, she said something about work needs, testing, etc., but later she just said, "I will take it back for use, I will take some incense back." Shan

Putao and the others did not dare to stop her, after

all, she was a commune cadre. Fang Dihua was embarrassed to stop her from taking it, after all, she was a cadre sent down from the commune to supervise, and it was nothing to take some incense back, even if the other party did not take it on their own initiative, they would take the initiative to offer it.

Even so, taking a bag at a time was really... a bit shameless.

Originally, Fang Dihua had asked Lin Shu whether Song Youping was here to steal the incense-making skills and let their team make incense. Lin Shu said no, and even if she

did, she was not afraid, after all, making incense itself was not difficult, and other incense factories used machines to make incense very efficiently, and their rural areas just relied on cheap labor and cheap materials. If their team also made it, then their team would improve the varieties, anyway, the market was big and there would be no business to do.

As a result, Song Youping did not learn the skills secretly and bring them back to the brigade to make incense. Instead, Xiao Jiazi always brought back a bag of incense.

Lin Shu didn't care and thought that this was all within the loss. However, Fang Dihua and other people who were used to hard life and were very careful with money were different. They thought that loss only included the ones that were damaged or exposed to rain, but not the ones that were taken away for free.

The boss was developing the market, and he gave away hundreds of samples. It was impossible for him to give away a bag for free.

To be honest, except for Song Youping, no one took their sanitary incense for free.

Brother Lu usually gave a lot to the branch secretary and the team leader, and asked them to give it to the cadres they knew in other brigades. As a result, they picked and searched and gave away a large handful at most, and refused to give away more. Instead, the people lit up and came back to buy a hundred bags.

Brother Lu also asked them to send it to the commune's revolutionary committee, and strive to have all offices and cadres at home light up their toilet incense.

As a result, except for a small package of samples at the beginning, Director Qin asked the finance department to pay for the rest. The branch secretary did not want money, so the commune gave him subsidies in other ways.

Others also wanted it. It was really useful to light toilet incense at home when it was humid and moldy in the summer, and they hinted to the branch secretary.

The branch secretary did not search for it. In order not to embarrass them, he did not ask them to pay, and gave them some inferior products for free. They were just a little shorter or thicker, right?

In this way, they did not have to pay, and they would not be criticized by Director Qin. Everyone was satisfied.

But even so, she couldn't give much. After all, this thing couldn't be eaten, it could only be used a little. It would be useless to stockpile too much, right?

Then Song Youping took so much to sell it.

It's okay once or twice, but this has happened several times.

This time Fang Dihua didn't want to give in. You can take the ordinary incense. She doesn't have enough high-end incense to sell, so how could there be any extra for you?

If it were in the past, the Lu family would definitely be jealous of the commune cadres, and Fang Dihua would not offend people easily. But now San'er has a stable job, and his family has a close relationship with the brigade and is still an advanced family. The whole family is advanced, so she is really not afraid of Song Youping.

Song Youping didn't want a bag of high-end incense this time, she just wanted to make a few boxes for Yan Bin, thinking that he would send it back to the capital and mention her, so that she could also gain his favor in front of him.

But she was used to it, and Fang Dihua didn't know she didn't really want to take it, so she naturally declined.

Fang Dihua said directly: "Song, if you want to take it, take the sanitary perfume. High-end perfume is not good. The production is low and there are not so many." As

soon as these words came out, Song Youping's face instantly turned red.

Many things are tacitly understood. Everyone knows it without saying it out loud. Saying it out loud is tantamount to a slap in the face.

Song Youping was very angry, her voice was a little sharp, "Auntie, what do you mean? Are you saying that I took things from the incense factory? I didn't!"

Fang Dihua saw that she was angry and embarrassed, and she didn't want to make trouble and offend anyone, so she said, "I didn't mean that. I meant that there was not enough high-end incense materials, and it would take some time to make them."

Song Youping sneered, "I just saw that you were too busy and didn't have enough manpower, so I wanted to help. But you didn't appreciate it and squeezed me."

Seeing that she didn't take advantage of the situation, but was still unwilling to give in, Fang Dihua didn't bother with her young age.

She was busy.

Now the incense factory has more and more orders. Originally, she invited Dan Pu Tao and Shun Ni'er to replace her, but she was busy here again because there was too much work.

Shan Putao and Shunnier came over to ask what happened.

Fang Dihua: "Nothing, let's all go back to work." She said to Lu Erge: "Second brother, call the material manufacturer of the high-end fragrance and urge them to ship the goods quickly. We are out of stock."

Lu Erge responded and went to make the call.

Song Youping was so angry. She felt that Fang Dihua was deliberately putting on a show for her.

She wanted to walk away, but she didn't want to give up the opportunity to meet Yan Bin. After all, it was not easy for her to meet people in the capital in the countryside.

Her marriage was the same as Lu Jinling's. She was neither high nor low, mainly because she had high aspirations.

Living in the commune, according to normal rules, she could at most marry a commune man, and the best thing would be to marry to the county.

But she didn't want those unsuccessful men in the county. Naturally, she wanted to marry a young talent. At least someone like Wang Shouke, who was an official of the county committee, or at least the child of a factory leader.

It was a pity that she had good intentions and had found several suitable candidates, but they... didn't like her.

She also wanted to marry someone who could help her work, didn't she? At least she wanted a girl who had a job in the city.

Song Youping had a commune household registration, so it was not easy for her to move to the city. Her family connections also seemed unlikely to help her move to the city.

Without good candidates in the city, she would have to go on blind dates with people from the commune. Going to other communes would mean giving up her own advantages, so naturally it wouldn't work.

Even in her own commune, she liked Secretary Jing, but he didn't like him.

Secretary Jing was very ambitious. Director Qin had made it clear that he would be promoted in the future. He was very good at being Director Qin's secretary, and Director Qin would definitely take him with him.

Moreover, Secretary Jing was obsessed with looks and liked gentle girls. He didn't like girls like Song Youping who were tough. Besides, they were all in the system, so who knew who?

They were not interested.

Therefore, Yan Bin's appearance was like a hope, not only for the female educated youth of Lujiazhuang Brigade and Lu Jinling, but also for Song Youping.

The main reason is that Yan Bin gives many girls around him the illusion that "he is interested in me". As long as I work hard, he will be mine. As a result, there are other girls competing for him, and he gives people the illusion that "he is more interested in me than them", so naturally the competition becomes more intense.

On the one hand, she wants to leave in a carefree manner to show Fang Dihua's face, and on the other hand, she is worried that Yan Bin can't leave easily, so Song Youping is very annoyed.

In the next two days, she began to find fault with the perfume factory for no reason, not limited to: Auntie, the hygiene of our perfume factory is not good. Auntie, is the cost and income account of our perfume factory correct? Show me the account. Auntie, which factories should we sell to? Do you have a customer list? Show me.

Fang Dihua would of course not satisfy her, so she simply pretended to be deaf and shouted to Grandma Fang to give her the hearing aid, which made Song Youping angry.

Panpan and Tiantian were watching at home and started to grumble again.

Tiantian: "This Aunt Song is so annoying, even more annoying than Aunt Jinling. I want to call Uncle Qin!"

Aunt Jinling is at most jealous of my mother's beauty, and she doesn't have to work in the fields and can enjoy the good life with my father, but she won't come to the house to make trouble.

This Aunt Song actually made trouble for grandma!

Humph!

Director Qin spends most of his time inspecting the countryside, so he naturally often comes to Lujiazhuang Brigade and is very familiar with the Lu family. He also likes Tiantian and others very much, and always brings them candies.

Panpan: "It's not safe to make a phone call. Her uncle will hear it. Her uncle is in charge of answering the phone in the commune."

Tiantian: "What should

we do?" Hou Wei: "Let's put her in a sack."

Panpan: "You are so young, don't fight all the time. Tiantian, you draw, we will report her."

So several children started to draw and complain.

Tiantian's sketches are very vivid. Although there are only a few strokes, you can see the character's expression. She drew Song Youping's pretentious arrogance with pouting lips and raised chin.

The focus is on her carrying a big bag of toilet paper back every time!

She also drew her quarreling with her grandmother! Finding faults!

They have a good memory. They remember all the things Song Youping found fault with.

Tiantian was very quick in her movements, and she never made corrections while drawing. She was filled with righteousness and drew quickly and well.

She had to write down explanations while drawing.

Finally, she had to emphasize that this was a secret letter and that it could not be told to anyone else, let alone to her grandparents, lest the adults think that they were telling on someone.

After writing, she took Lin Shu's envelope, folded the letter paper and put it in.

Hou Wei reminded her to put a stamp on it, but Panpan was reluctant to do it, "Let's send it ourselves, or let Zhou Weimin send it."

Finally, they decided to let brother Lu Ping help send it.

Lu Ping now goes to school in the commune every day, and comes back in the evening to help with the accounting of the brigade. He is very busy.

After waiting for Lu Ping to come back at night, the three little ones ran to find him, "Brother, brother."

Hearing the three children chirping like little birds, Lu Ping was not annoyed, but rather very happy.

Tiantian gave him the letter, and the envelope also had a message written on it, "Director Qin personally", and the brackets at the end were encrypted, so that no one could read it secretly.

Lu Ping asked curiously, "What did you write?"

Panpan raised her index finger to her lips, "Hush, don't let grandma hear it."

They refused to tell Lu Ping, so they asked him to help deliver the letter.

Lu Ping was a little embarrassed, and tried to make them understand that Director Qin was a state cadre, not an ordinary uncle, and they could not communicate casually. If they did communicate, it would be best to let adults know the content.

Tiantian said confidently, "Uncle Qin whispered to us last time and asked about our brigade. Why can't we write to him?"

Lu Ping laughed, "Okay, but if Uncle Qin gets angry, or if you get into trouble and get spanked by grandpa, you can't say I didn't remind you, right?"

Tiantian smiled, "Grandpa and grandma won't spank me. At most, they'll spank Panpan."

Panpan: "Uh..."

Hou Wei: "Brother, don't worry. I'm here."

Panpan hesitated, "Brother, if you don't help, then we'll let the second brother and Hou Bo send it."

Lu Ping: "Forget it, I'll send it for you."

Panpan asked him to keep it a secret again.

Lu Ping nodded, "Okay, keep it a secret."

Based on his understanding of Panpan and Tiantian, they wouldn't do anything out of line. Even if they wrote letters, they would only write fun content, not something naughty.

Director Qin has achieved remarkable results in the past few years since he came to the Fendou Commune.

The main reason is that there is a Lujiazhuang Brigade that has repeatedly surprised him.

This year, many brigades and production teams have installed the water wheel pump irrigation technology, which has greatly improved the irrigation efficiency. This year, some water-deficient plots in corn and wheat in the summer and autumn have benefited.

In addition, the technical team also helped each brigade to develop suitable sideline businesses according to local conditions. Many brigades have begun to buy jute and ramie seeds from the Lujiazhuang Brigade for planting, and some brigades have also begun to buy rabbits from the Lujiazhuang Brigade for breeding.

They have also improved the method of fertilizing farmyard manure, which can harvest more base fertilizer than before.

Even though the overall benefits are not yet apparent, the lives of the members have improved.

Moreover, the promotion of eugenics and good parenting has also given an unexpected surprise. The task has been completed in excess, which has made him very visible in the county and city.

He has been busy riding his bike to inspect the brigades and production teams every day recently, and today he can finally take a break.

He just sat down and took a sip of jasmine tea from a large teacup made of a canning jar, and then he saw Secretary Jing coming over with a letter.

He indicated something with his eyes.

Secretary Jing hesitated for a moment and handed the letter to him, "Director, Lu Ping sent a letter."

Director Qin often went to Lujiazhuang, so of course he knew who Lu Ping was, because he was the real brigade accountant of Lujiazhuang.

He now comes to the commune accounting meetings. His father is away from home all day, and it is said that he has expanded to other cities.

We don't know how there are people who are so good at going out.

Director Qin put down the teacup and reached out to take it, but saw Secretary Jing hesitated, "What's wrong?"

Secretary Jing: "The letter was not written by Lu Ping, it was probably written by Tiantian and Panpan."

He didn't know whether the two children were playing or something else, and Lu Ping didn't know either, because the two children didn't say, and they also printed the words "confidential letter" all over the envelope.

It was obviously a seal engraved with rubber.

Director Qin took it in his hand and weighed it. It was strangely heavy. He smiled and said, "These two children are naturally popular. Let me see what kind of letter they wrote to me."

He tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and what came into view was a bunch of flattery. Uncle Qin was happily called, and he also praised him for being tall and handsome, being a leader and being approachable, not putting on airs, and not scaring children, etc.

Director Qin was so cheerful that he laughed continuously, causing people in the nearby offices to look around and ask what was going on.

Song Bangyou: "What good news has happened to the director?"

The others shook their heads, not knowing.

They pretended to go to the toilet and get water, and stood in the corridor to take a look.

In the room, Director Qin continued to watch. After the rainbow fart, he started to draw simple sketches. The drawings were about Director Qin's inspection in the countryside. The key projects of the brigade were drawn, and everyone was drawn vividly.

Although they were simple sketches, they drew the most prominent features, so Director Qin could recognize who was the branch secretary, who was the brigade leader, and who was Engineer Hou at a glance.

At first he was laughing, but then his expression gradually became solemn, and even his thick eyebrows were frowned.

This little Song is outrageous!

After reading, the children reminded him, "Uncle Qin, please don't tell my grandparents. We know that it's not good to tell others. We might get spanked. If we get spanked, you will feel guilty, right? So, for our sake, please don't tell them."

Director Qin's admiration for the two children went up a level.

He had never seen such sensible and smart children before. How old are they? Six or seven?

Look at the painting and the calligraphy. Although it's a child's stroke, it's childish and has its own style.

After admiring the children, Director Qin had a better opinion of Song Youping.

A week later, when Jiang Weidong drove over to pick someone up, the Fighting Commune had just issued a notice: Song Youping's position as the commune's sideline supervisor was revoked, and she was suspended from work to reflect on her actions. At the same time, she had to make up for the money she had taken from Lu Jiazhuang's sanitary incense, and explain the whereabouts of the sanitary incense, otherwise she would be treated as a speculator.

When Song Youping received the punishment, her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but yell at Fang Dihua: "Auntie Fang, you are really, really insidious, you appear generous on the surface but you are actually making trouble behind your back!"

Fang Dihua was still confused by the commune's punishment, and the accusation against Song Youping was even more inexplicable.

But she knew that no matter what she said, Song Youping would not believe it.

Song Youping packed up her things and rode back to the commune angrily. The person

who was in charge of delivering the disciplinary notice was Xu Jianye, the deputy platoon leader of the commune militia, from Houtun, and Lin Aidi's husband.

He smiled at Fang Dihua, "Auntie, she is making things difficult for you, you should have told her earlier. If it is difficult to tell the commune, you should tell me. I will definitely tell the Revolutionary Committee for you."

Fang Dihua: "Jianye, whether you believe it or not, I didn't tell the commune about this at all. I work at home every day and don't go out. I'm surprised that you suddenly sent me such a notice today."

Xu Jianye originally thought that it was Fang Dihua who said it, but since Fang Dihua denied it, it was not her.

Others dare not guarantee it, but Fang Dihua is known by everyone as someone who does not lie. She does not need to lie in her life. She dares to admit even bigger things. As long as she says it is not true, it is definitely not true.

Xu Jianye nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie. I will tell you when I go to the commune. You did not say this. If the Song family wants to hate you, it is because they are narrow-minded."

After they left, Fang Dihua could not figure out what was going on.

She also told Brother Lu and Jiang Weidong, "Director Qin is too clairvoyant, isn't he?" Tiantian

laughed and said, "This is seeing through everything!"

Hou Wei: "I know, it is a sharp eye!"

Panpan was not worried about being exposed, because Brother Lu Ping did not tell Grandma, and Uncle Qin did not tell her.

They are all people who keep their promises!

Jiang Weidong said with a smile: "This situation must have been reported by someone."

Fang Dihua: "Could it be that Jinling helped report it?"

Even a blind man could see that Song Youping and Lu Jinling were competing for Yan Bin.

Maybe Lu Jinling secretly wrote a report letter to get rid of Song Youping?

The three children looked up at Fang Dihua, "Oh, grandma is so kind. Aunt Jinling didn't know that Song Youping took our toilet paper, and didn't know that you two had a quarrel?

Unless you instructed her, how could she think of this if she was so stupid? No

matter who Song Youping and her uncle suspected reported it, they didn't dare to vent their anger on Lu Jiazhuang, because Director Qin had talked to Song Bangyou personally.

He still gave Song Bangyou some face out of consideration for his age, but he also repeatedly ordered all the commune cadres who went to the countryside to supervise agricultural work to follow the rules for cadres to go to the countryside, not to take bribes, not to abuse their power for personal gain, and not to take revenge on personal enemies, etc.

These were not something that the three children could understand, because they followed their grandmother and aunt in Jiang Weidong's jeep to the steel mill to see the baby.
