Soon, the whole family came back.
After Peng Zhendong returned home, he put down his briefcase and the first thing he did was to get the newspaper.
Reading the new newspaper first thing every week is his habit to understand current political affairs and is also one of his few pastimes.
"Huh? This issue of the newspaper is a little special! The entire fourth page is filled with pictures, and they all have the same theme."
Usually this issue mainly publishes some articles and is divided into several sections.
"Why is there such a big patch of ink here? Mrs. Li, is this how the newspaper looks when it's delivered?"
Mrs. Li: "I didn't notice it, but it was quite flat when it was delivered."
Peng Nuannuan said cautiously, "Grandpa, I was trying to imitate the words on the newspaper and accidentally got stained with ink."
Peng Bo said comfortingly, "You, kid, learning is a process of accumulation. There's no need to rush. There are quite a few uncommon characters in the newspaper. You should read some textbooks first. The characters in them are not beyond the scope of the curriculum."
Wan Jingjing looked gloomy. If her Nuannuan was here, she would go to school as planned, and she would definitely be a smart and naughty little girl.
I can read newspapers to everyone by now, right?
The dirty area was not big and only affected one photo. The information in other places could be seen.
Peng Zhendong said nothing more and continued reading.
Peng Nuannuan suddenly said, "Grandpa, can you read it to me? I'm looking at this photo and want to know what it says."
This child has been unable to let go of his courage since he came here. Seeing that the child is so eager to learn, Peng Zhendong smiled.
"Okay, I'll read it to you!"
Peng Zhendong: "In Shannan County, Yangqian City, Yangnan Province, there's a commune like this. Back when everyone was still working in the fields, this place was the first to use hand-held tillers and large harvesters."
"When everyone was relying solely on collective farmland to earn their living, they worked hard to transform the environment and develop all the resources around them, thus increasing their income."
"Most importantly, the people here, from young to old, love learning..."
…
Bai Lan: "Is this true? Is there really such a place?"
Peng Zhendong: "It's all reported, so of course it's true. I don't know who leads this commune, but they're really capable."
Bloomberg: "Dad, a lot of the stories in this newspaper are embellished. From what I know, some people even inflated their production figures."
Peng Zhendong: "This time it's different. This time we have photos to prove it. Can't they repair the cement road? Look at this, there are orchards and fish ponds!"
Bloomberg shook his head.
"What if the entire county has done this, and you're just thinking of this as a political achievement? If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you still have to take it with a grain of salt."
Bai Lan: "What's the point of you arguing about this? I think it's a good idea and can have a significant motivating effect."
Peng Zhendong: "That's right. If someone with a keen eye sees this, they might also want to use their brains."
Peng Nuannuan, who was standing beside him, lowered her head, hiding the guilt in her eyes. She memorized the address above firmly in her mind.
The First Production Team of Xiangyang Commune, Shannan County, Yangqian City, Yangnan Province...
At this moment, the phone at Beijing TV Station suddenly rang.
Zhou Cheng picked up the phone immediately: "Hello, this is Beijing TV Station. Which station is this?"
"Is your director here? I'm looking for your director."
Zhou Cheng... Who is so arrogant that he wants to find the director every time a phone call comes in? Then the director would just have to answer the phone every day and wouldn't have to do anything else.
"Do you have anything to ask our director? Maybe I can help you."
The person opposite was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Young people nowadays are quite responsible. Well, let me ask you, what is the actual situation of the Xiangyang Commune incident in your latest issue of the newspaper?"
Zhou Cheng had been waiting for feedback on this issue of the newspaper for a long time. This was the result of the hard work of him and Miao Qing.
"You've definitely asked the right person about this. I was one of the reporters who went there to conduct on-site interviews. The people there refused to cooperate with the interview, so we had to find a way to take these photos."
"It's because we acted decisively, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to bring back such a brilliant report. I can guarantee it with all my heart, it's absolutely true!"
The person opposite smiled and said, "Good, not bad, you will do an excellent job. Okay, go call Wei Lecheng first!"
Zhou Cheng...
With his intuition as a media person, he keenly captured the difference in the tone of the person on the other side.
First, he praised him for a job well done, which was the tone of a seasoned leader.
Second, they call their director by his name, as if they are very familiar with him, but also as if they are calling a subordinate.
Zhou Cheng changed his casual attitude and said seriously, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and call him right away!"
Wei Lecheng was also confused. Logically speaking, he was over 40 years old, and the person who called him by his name was most likely older than him.
Besides, their TV station is inherently sensitive.
Although I couldn't guess who it was, I didn't dare to neglect it.
"Hello, I'm Wei Lecheng."
…
I don't know what the person opposite said, but Wei Lecheng stood straight, his tone was a little respectful.
"It's true. We were two reporters who went there together to investigate the anonymous letter from the Basic Medical Group. We discovered it by accident."
"Yes, yes, in Shannan County. The commune director's name is Yu Weimin. He lives in the first production team."
"Yes, yes, Zhou Cheng and Miao Qing deserve praise for their work this time."
…
With a click, the phone was hung up.
Zhou Cheng: "Master, who is it?"
Wei Lecheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice a little dazed: "Yes, it's the big leader!"
Zhou Cheng: "Which big leader?"
Wei Lecheng: "The country's great leader! The top leader!"
Zhou Cheng...So, why was he showing off in front of others just now?
Why does my mouth suddenly feel bitter?
How can I save his image in front of the leaders?
Wei Lecheng began to get excited: "This matter has attracted the attention of the higher-ups. You and Miao Qing have made a great contribution this time. No, we have to report this matter to the station and commend you as well."
Zhou Cheng...thank you!
This special period has been deadlocked for almost ten years.
The shortage of supplies and the scarcity of jobs force everyone to plan their lives.
Everyone is striving for breakthroughs, with efforts underway to build export ports and introduce foreign technologies.
Now, there's a place that, relying on its own capabilities, has taken the lead in the nation. Isn't it worth analyzing and learning from?
The group meeting started almost as soon as the phone was hung up.
"Is their method of distributing pigs to households really better than raising them collectively? But why do chickens and ducks have to be raised collectively?"
"There are terraced fields in some places in the south, why haven't we thought of promoting them in the north?"
"How about the newspaper do a series on economic development? Let everyone know that the central government encourages the development of collective economy."
…
"I suggest that we go to the scene and take a look..."
