In fact, except for Guo Yongan, the other three people in the secretariat have their own strengths and weaknesses, but none of them have as strong comprehensive abilities as Guo Yongan. Guo Yongan is an all-round talent with all skills above 80 points, so he has always been the chief secretary.
Zheng Yating is the only girl in the secretary's office. She has innate advantages. In addition, she is good-looking, knows how to dress, and has a special noble temperament. She is also a college graduate and has good writing skills, so she has a competitive advantage.
Zheng Yating's only shortcoming, which is also an advantage that others do not have, is her background. Her family is well-off and scholarly. Her parents are both teachers, and her in-laws work at a newspaper.
From childhood to adulthood, Zheng Yating ate and drank things that no one else had ever seen or heard of, and most of her clothes came from overseas Chinese stores.
She had no contact with the working class and the peasant class, and had no understanding of their lives, so the articles she wrote were relatively literary and gorgeous.
Their family originally lived in the north city. In the past few years, the unstable policies from above caused a lot of unrest, so the Zheng family also retreated and returned to this small county town.
The old couple of the Zheng family retired directly. Zheng Yating's in-laws were still in Beicheng. Zheng Yating was an only child, and she was worried about the old couple, so she brought her husband and children to Le'an County.
Life in Le'an County is a bit poor, but she is very satisfied that the family can be together.
Especially since the overall environment is getting worse and worse, Zheng Yating is even more grateful that she left early.
Zheng Yating's husband is also a cultural person and currently works in the county cultural center.
Wang Yang is a sunny boy who is eloquent, perceptive and comes from a good family. However, he knows a lot about everything but is not very proficient in any of them.
Wang Yang's advantage is that he can unite all forces. He can get along with anyone, whether it is a leader, a worker, or a farmer. He is a person with strong personal qualities. He will not look down on anyone, nor will he be overambitious.
Wang Yang is kind to others, worldly-wise but not worldly, and has a good relationship with people. Everyone is willing to make friends with him.
As for Li Hongru, well, he doesn't have much ambition, and he's rather direct and not very tactful. But, he has a little cleverness that always comes in handy at critical moments.
After Guo Yongan was promoted to deputy factory director, competition in the office became fierce. However, none of the three people could work alone. Any one of them had their own shortcomings.
Ling Tianming was also speechless about them, but after all, they were all his old employees, and he couldn't just replace them.
Therefore, the secretarial office subsequently became a situation where three people worked together. If there was something that needed to be communicated with outside, Wang Yang would go, Li Hongru would be responsible for drafting ordinary documents, and Zheng Yating would write those special documents.
None of them is a troublemaker, so the three of them get along very harmoniously.
Director Ling originally wanted to find a new chief secretary from outside, but when he saw that they worked together very well, he gave up the idea. After all, everything is in chaos now, and he was afraid of recruiting people with ulterior motives.
With Wei Chuan in the county town, those who took the opportunity to cause chaos were eliminated. For a time, the atmosphere in the city eased a lot.
Because of the unrest, everyone was in a tense mood this year. In order to ease the atmosphere and increase everyone's work enthusiasm, several large factories organized a social event together.
We borrowed an auditorium, audio equipment, tape recorders, and other equipment from the cultural center. Each unit was responsible for rehearsing two programs, and then performed together in the auditorium.
Li Hongru is a professional in singing and dancing, so he was also assigned a task.
The textile factory only arranged two programs, one was Li Hongru's solo, and the other was a Peking Opera excerpt from the Propaganda Department.
New Year's Day came quickly. The auditorium was packed with people. The stage was brightly lit. The dazzling lights intertwined into a colorful picture that made people intoxicated.
Sitting in the front row were the leaders of the county party committee and the directors of major factories.
Accompanied by warm applause, the host in gorgeous clothes walked onto the stage and gave a joyful opening speech to everyone with her fluent and natural hosting tone.
Next came singing and dancing performances, as well as model operas, local operas, quick-paced songs, etc. The unique performances aroused everyone's enthusiasm and the applause was louder than the other.
The auditorium soon became lively, and the art troupe's Peking Opera excerpt "Red Lantern" brought the evening to a climax. Everyone was excited and their moods fluctuated with the show. When they saw Li Yuhe and Grandma Li sacrificed, many people cried.
It was also the first time for Zhang Weifang to watch this kind of revolutionary drama, and she was deeply touched. For the first time, she understood how hard the revolution was, and she cherished her life even more.
The evening ended with a perfect ending with the solo performance of "My Motherland". Many people unconsciously sang along with the singer, and everyone's emotions were sublimated.
The New Year’s Eve party enhanced everyone’s cohesion, and after New Year’s Day, everyone worked harder.
Although there were some chaos this year, everyone managed to get through it safely.
Huzi is three years old now and has more energy. He has his own ideas, has learned to rebel, and often asks "why?" Zhang Weifang is particularly troubled by him.
She especially missed Hu Zi when he was two years old, who was cute and obedient.
Now Hu Zi must be taken out for a walk every morning. He likes small animals. The chickens raised by other people and the birds flying in the trees have all become his friends.
Weishuang is already 18 years old. In order to take care of Huzi, he has not found a partner yet. Zhang Weifang feels guilty about this, but Zhang Weishuang can think positively:
"Sister, I don't have a suitable candidate anyway, don't worry, Hu Zi is still young, and he won't be able to do without someone to look after him."
Li Hongru was also very grateful to Zhang Weishuang. He gave Zhang Weishuang five yuan every month, and Zhang Weifang often bought her some clothes and other things.
In fact, Zhang Weishuang lived a very good life at his eldest sister's house. Whether it was food, drink or other aspects, it was much better than in the village.
At the end of the year, Zhang Weifang sent Zhang Weishuang back home, and Zhang Qiao Na also suggested that Zhang Weishuang find a partner.
"Wei Shuang, you'll be 19 after the New Year. It's time to find someone."
"Mom, what should we do with Hu Zi?" Zhang Weishuang couldn't bear to part with Hu Zi.
"Bring Hu Zi to our house. There are so many people in the house, can't we take Hu Zi with us?"
"Mom, do you have a suitable candidate for Weishuang?" Zhang Weifang felt that her mother must have found someone suitable.
"Yes, there's a young man in the east end named Zhang Yonggui, two years older than Weishuang. I met him once. He's very hardworking and never slacks off at work."
Zhang Weifang frowned. She actually wanted to find a better living condition for her sister, as she would have to continue working after returning to the village.
"Wei Shuang, what do you think? How about I find you one in the city?"
"No need, big sister. I'm not educated, so I'd rather stay in the village."
