Yang Mumu sorted out the annual work points list for the brigade members that she had just compiled, put down her pen from the desk, raised her head, stretched her neck which was sore from sitting for a long time, looked at the sunlight in the sky through the window, and smiled.
It's sunny outside.
The troops captured a dozen spies and left, leaving half of them to guard the mountain.
On the day the people were arrested, a special team came to take over the gold mine and started digging.
At the same time, after receiving the news, the captain convened a simple meeting in the brigade.
At the meeting, the captain announced.
"Comrades, the leaders above have informed us that the danger has been resolved and the bad guys have all been captured. You don't have to worry about the danger and can go out and play without worry. You can also go to the mountains."
"good!"
After hearing this, the members below cheered loudly and were extremely happy.
These days, every member of the cooperative has been staying at home in fear, worried that bad guys will rush down the mountain.
When the elderly heard the fierce gunfire, they seemed to have returned to that war-torn era. In a half-awake state, they thought they were still in the Anti-Japanese War and were extremely panicked.
Now it's finally over. The big stone that was weighing on everyone's heart has finally been removed. The haze that covered their hearts has dissipated, and the sky is clear after the rain.
One member shouted excitedly, "That's great. I've been living like that these past few days... Yang Scorer, what did he say? Anyway, every day is so miserable."
Yang Mumu beside him smiled and added: "Uncle, every day feels like a year."
"Yes, yes, every day feels like a year. It's true that every day feels like a year. You young people are really educated. Recently, every day feels like a year. I feel uncomfortable all over. Now I am finally better and can finally go out for a walk."
Yang Mumu heard the noise from the right again. The member here put his hands together and knocked his knees on the ground with a "dong" sound. It was an extremely sincere kneeling sound. Yang Mumu could tell how painful it was just by listening to the sound.
But the member opposite him seemed to feel no pain, with only a bright smile on his face. He was already kneeling on the ground and bowing to the outside, crying with excitement, and began to thank them one by one:
"I am so grateful to the country, to our military comrades, to our county armed forces comrades, to our police station comrades, and to our commune leaders. Thank you for defending our country and making us...
"Yes, yes, thank them, thank everyone who keeps us safe."
This time, the members realized how good the country is and how difficult it is for everyone, and they are all filled with gratitude.
The captain nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to quiet down and continued:
"Although the bad guys have been captured, everyone should try not to go to the inner area of the eastern mountain, or the enclosed areas. You can go to the other mountains as you like."
"Remember one thing, if you really want to go to that mountain, you have to think twice. I'm going to say this in advance, I won't take care of anything that happens to you, so don't come to me to rescue you. If you cause trouble for our team, you and your family will not be allowed to stay in the team, remember that?"
Zhao Xiangdong emphasized his tone and looked at everyone seriously, his eyes sweeping over each person.
The members were all frightened, but they also realized the seriousness of the matter, and they all shouted, "Remember this."
"Just remember it."
Zhao Xiangdong's expression relaxed, he looked at the arrangements on the notebook, and started talking about other things.
"I won't say much about this matter. Now let me talk about the distribution of food."
When they heard about the food distribution, the members below became even more excited.
"This afternoon, our team will go to hand in the pigs for the mission. When the pigs are handed in, everyone will know what to prepare for."
The members shouted excitedly, "Distribute the food."
Zhao Xiangdong nodded, picked up the work points statistics handed over by Yang Mumu and praised Yang.
"That's right. This is your work points for this year. Everyone should come to the office this afternoon to find Comrade Yang Mumu to confirm your work points."
He talked about what the members were most interested in.
"Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, our brigade will start distributing food and slaughtering the New Year pig. Everyone will line up early to receive food according to their families. I will adjourn the meeting now, and you can go and confirm your work points."
Zhao Xiangdong pointed at Yang Mumu on the side.
Yang Mumu had already moved a table and sat aside. All preparations had been made. The accountant was sitting next to her and was moving forward.
When the captain pointed over, Yang Mumu waved to everyone.
"Come and line up quickly. The sooner we can confirm it, the sooner we can distribute the food. If we don't confirm it today, we won't be able to distribute it at 8 o'clock tomorrow."
This warm reminder heightened the tension and the members all rushed over to line up, not daring to delay for a second.
"Here I come, here I come."
In less than a minute, a long queue had formed.
Yang Mumu and Xiang Qianjin worked together, completing the task every two minutes on average.
While the work points were confirmed here, the team leader organized people to pull the pigs manually.
This year, the Haha Brigade has its own tractor, so there is no need to trouble others to pull the pigs.
Gu Xingzhou went to drive out the tractor, and the team leader came over with wooden boards to build a road between the ground and the vehicle to make it easier to pull the pigs onto the vehicle.
Pigs were dragged out of the pigsty one by one and pulled onto the truck.
Amid the miserable squeals of pigs, Yang Mumu checked and confirmed the work points of the other members.
Both sides were busy and bustling, and there was a strong sense of the atmosphere of preparing for the New Year.
Everyone is highly efficient at work.
The nets had been pulled up over the pigs when the task was handed over. Gu Xingzhou started the tractor, loaded a cart of pigs and the team leader, and drove to the commune.
Yang Mumu has shortened the long queue to half the original length.
What remains unchanged is that everyone is busy preparing for the most important distribution of food and meat for the brigade tomorrow.
A little over halfway through the afternoon, Yang Mumu saw Gu Xingzhou returning after handing in the pig mission.
Gu Xingzhou smiled at her and pointed at the tractor, indicating that he would pack up the tractor and wait for her to go back together.
Yang Mumu nodded, continued with the work at hand, and glanced at the captain.
The captain's face was all smiles.
When a member saw this, he asked loudly, "Captain, have all our team's mission pigs passed?"
The captain's smile grew wider.
"Haha, they passed, all passed. Our team still has four pigs left to kill for the New Year. Let's have a good year this year."
The remaining members shouted excitedly.
“Oh, that’s great!”
The captain came over with a smile on his face. "Mumu, Lao Xiang, how are things going over here?"
Yang Mumu didn't even raise her head, and answered while busying herself: "Captain, we'll be done soon."
Uncle Qianjin pointed at the two people in the second line and said, "They are the only ones confirmed."
"Okay, that's good. I'll go find the team's butcher to confirm about slaughtering pigs tomorrow." The captain nodded and walked out happily with his hands behind his back.
A few minutes later, Yang Mumu confirmed that everything was completed, the work was done, and he went home.
"Okay, everyone come early tomorrow morning to line up, now you can go back."
She carried the table and ran quickly to the office. Uncle Qianjin was no more slow than her and left work just as fast as her. He put his things away, locked the door, and left.
"Uncle Qianjin, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, slow down."
When Xiang Qianjin finished speaking, Yang Mumu had already run out and met up with Gu Xingzhou who had fixed the tractor.
If you are not proactive after get off work, there is something wrong with your brain.
Her favorite moment is getting off work.
The way back was the most relaxing.
Gu Xingzhou brought back a piece of news from the commune and was sharing it with Yang Mumu on the way.
