Chapter 157 Message
After everyone finished their meal, they packed up and got on the bus on time to set off.
Ah Ju and Xia Zhizhi hid in the back and whispered to each other under the pretext of adjusting the camera.
Xia Zhizhi ate the melon seeds and said, "That comrade Wang is so pitiful. If I hadn't had any other choice, I wouldn't have done that to him. After all, we had such a good chat yesterday."
Ah Ju was peeling melon seeds for her while comforting her: "You are too soft-hearted. I would say it would be easier to just put him in a sack and break his legs, but you are kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see him get hurt, so you had to give him drugs. You must never do this again in the future. After all, being kind to others is being cruel to yourself."
"Oh, there's nothing I can do!" Xia Zhizhi touched her face in distress. "But my kindness and beauty are innate. I can't change them. I would rather suffer injustice than hurt others!"
There are two people who don't want Bilian.
When the car arrived at Jinshui Bridge, they got off and walked into the square. They had their identities verified one by one at the checkpoint and were searched. Only after they were confirmed to have no problems were they allowed to pass.
Everyone went up to the tower and lined up according to the previous drill.
Ah Ju took photos of Xia Zhizhi from various angles within the range allowed by the sentry.
She knew this, and in order to look good on camera, she not only put on some fake makeup, but also kept a dignified manner throughout the whole process, with all kinds of lively and cute expressions.
As for the others, Xia Zhizhi had told him early in the morning, so he just took a few photos just for the sake of it. He thought it was good enough, as everyone's expressions were clear. It was not easy to do this, and even Comrade Wang Liangsi could not guarantee that everyone's expressions would be up to standard.
We were all waiting eagerly, and after about half an hour, we heard someone calling for help!
The sentries' uniform salute was particularly impressive.
The old man walked in front. Although he was old, he walked with his head held high and looked very imposing. Grandpa Zhou followed on his right.
Although he is already in his early seventies, he is in very good spirits. He waved to them warmly as he walked, "Thank you for your hard work, comrades!"
"It's not hard, we serve the people!" Everyone responded loudly and energetically.
He was very pleased to see the young representatives so energetic.
Xia Zhizhi is good-looking and stands in the center. As soon as the leader appears, she grins to reveal a row of neat white teeth. Her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she smiles, and she looks heartless, like a bright little sun.
The elders all like this kind of child who is full of youthful vitality and vigor. Seeing such a smile, they feel much better, and he is no exception.
The leader walked up to her and asked Xia Zhizhi lovingly, "Little comrade, what's your name?"
Who is Xia Zhizhi? She had to add drama to herself. No one could stop her: "Leader, my name is Xia Zhizhi. I am sixteen years old. I am from Jiangsu Province. Now I am a glorious educated youth working in the countryside in Mudanjiang City!"
"Oh?" Hearing her say that she was an educated youth, the old man looked at her delicate skin and tender flesh and said "oh" in an ambiguous way.
You know, there is a huge difference between people who go to the fields and those who don’t.
Xia Zhizhi didn't seem to notice anything was wrong, and said with a smile: "Leader, I read your article and was very attracted by the majestic and magnificent northern scenery you described. This year, I finally saw the pictures in your article!"
She patted her small body and was very proud: "My health is not good, so I can't farm as well as other educated youth, but I also try my best to shine in the field I am good at. I wrote many articles and sent them to major newspapers. Nearly 100 articles were published, allowing more people to understand the vast world of rural areas!"
After saying this, he rubbed his ears a little embarrassedly: "Since I was a child, I have hoped to be like you and become a talented writer. Although I am still a long way from you, I will work harder!"
"oh--?"
Seeing that the leader was interested, she went ahead and took out a few selected clippings from the pocket of her cotton jacket.
"I was born in the big family of New China. I have always kept your teachings in mind, worked hard and never forgotten my original aspirations. Now that I have made some small achievements, I am here to ask for your praise!"
He was a kind and amiable man. Seeing her being so arrogant, he joked, "Could it be that your original intention was to ask for compliments from me?"
"That's right!" Xia Zhizhi nodded righteously.
It’s a bit like a naughty kid who says, “Grandpa, I got 100 points on the test, please take out your pension and buy me some snacks.”
It makes one want to hit her on the head, but one can't bring oneself to hate her.
The old man became interested. He took the clipping from her hand and scanned it. It was indeed of some quality. When he saw the author's name, he paused and couldn't help but burst out laughing. He handed it to Grandpa Zhou next to him, and then the two of them laughed at her together.
Grandpa Zhou couldn't help it either.
He returned the clipping to her and said with a smile, "Tell me how I want you to praise me!"
"I want you to write me a message." She added: "The kind of message that can encourage me to keep moving forward when I am confused, lost, hesitant, or encounter difficulties!"
After saying that, she took out the notebook she had prepared, opened it, and handed it over.
There are quite a lot of requirements.
The old man took the notebook, took out a pen from his jacket pocket, thought for a moment, and wrote down a sentence.
"Keep moving forward and never forget your original intention. A single spark can start a prairie fire. To——"
The old man paused, glanced at Xia Zhizhi, and wrote down with a smile.
"To the ambitious young man Xia Zhizhi."
The signature includes the name and date.
Xia Zhizhi took it happily, and then went further, staring at the pen in the old man's hand with her sparkling eyes.
His face was full of words: I really need this thing, but I am too embarrassed to ask for it. Please be considerate and give it to me.
Even the old man was stunned. After all, he hadn't seen such a shameless person in many years.
I put the cap back on the pen, handed it to her, and said, "Here, stop looking at it. This is a reward from me for you. I hope you can use it to write more good articles that benefit the country, the people, and the farmers!"
"Thank you, I will make full use of it!" Xia Zhizhi quickly took it and put it into her pocket.
Then, holding the opened notebook, he looked expectantly at Grandpa Zhou who was smiling beside him.
Grandpa Zhou was well-known for being kind and amiable to his younger generations.
I wrote her a sentence:
“Live and learn until old age. A strong youth means a strong country. A wise youth means a wise country. — To the ambitious young people Xia Zhizhi”
Xia Zhizhi held up a notebook and stood next to the two leaders shamelessly. Ah Ju took many photos of her.
After taking the pictures, the old man patted her head lovingly and asked her to return to the team.
The leaders were naturally aware of the little girl's deliberate attempt to amuse people, but instead of being disgusted, they quite liked it.
Imagine your Hakimi blinking its big eyes, pulling at your clothes and meowing.
Even though you know that this thing only has Cans in its heart and is not for stuttering, and you can't even touch her hair, you still can't help but open a Can for her, because she is really cute.
The most important thing is that the old man saw the vigorous development of New China from her vigorous, expansive and bold state, and the Chinese people have stood up!
This is the confidence that can only be cultivated if the country is prosperous and the nation is strong!
Because of their hard work, everyone went from being hunchbacked and timid to being brave and confident!
It’s like you work hard to clean the cucumbers every day, and one day you suddenly notice a thick cucumber growing under the leaves!
This is the joy of harvest!
How can it not make people happy?
