Chapter 401: House Ruiner in the 1970s (32)
“So? I can drink my eldest cousin’s wedding wine on the first day of August?”
On this day, Xu Lan came home from school and heard Chen Huilan talking about Xu Yuanyuan's wedding date. She jumped up with joy, "I can have wedding wine! I can have wedding wine!"
Xu Yin: Are you hungry at home? It’s so fun to have a wedding meal.
Turning around, I saw that my parents had the same look on their faces, and they were even thinking about what dishes they would have on their eldest niece’s wedding day.
“There must be some head soup! Scoop out a few meatballs and bring them back when the time comes.”
"There should also be chickens, ducks and fish. The eldest daughter-in-law is a good face person. She is very busy at home and likes to be generous in front of outsiders. Whole chickens and whole ducks will definitely be served together. Fish has a good meaning and cannot be missed at the wedding. Let's bring two more. Bowl, bring back some meat."
“I just don’t know where the boss will put the banquet. It would be nice if we came back. Let’s bring a big basket with a few more bowls and pack the dishes before eating.”
“Pretend before eating? Will anyone say that?”
“You still want to eat and pretend again? Is there any left? Just eat it!”
"That's right! Then just pretend before eating. Then you will cover, and Lanlan and I will be responsible for pretending."
Xu Yin has three black lines on her forehead: “…”
Are you serious?
The amount of help.
This family really doesn’t know what to say.
“Dad, Mom, our family is not short of food now, why are you doing this? How bad will it be if people see you?”
“Oh, it’s okay, everyone is like this.”
…”
“Xu Yin! Is Xu Yin at home?”
At this moment, the accountant from the brigade headquarters came to the door and interrupted the plan of a family of four (deleted, three) to grab meat and vegetables for the wedding banquet.
“I’m at home, Accountant Zhao, what do you want?”
“I will send you a message on the way. After lunch tomorrow, you will go to the commune hall with the party secretary to attend this year’s May Day Model Worker Commendation Conference. Try to wear newer clothes.”
So that’s what happened.
Xu Yin heard the party secretary mention it beforehand and responded: "I understand, thank you."
“You’re welcome, it’s just a matter of way.” Accountant Zhao finished delivering the message and hurried home to cook.
Xu Laosan happily took out the precious wine bottle: "My daughter is going to be commended, and she must have a drink tonight!"
Chen Huilan rolled her eyes at him: "Are you greedy?"
"hey-hey!"
"Second sister, do you have any new clothes?" Xu Lan followed Xu Yin back to the room, "How about I borrow one for you? Our teacher Wang's partner has a small floral shirt, which is pretty. ”
Xu Yin twitched her lips: "You even know this?"
Are you studying?
Xu Lan raised her chin proudly and said, "Of course! I'm our school's secret agent."
…”
“Second sister, you really don’t need me to borrow clothes for you?”
“No need. I have a small floral shirt.”
Xu Yin took out a white floral shirt with three-quarter wide sleeves and a small round collar that she wore in the 1980s. It was not very fashionable at that time, but now it is a fashion leader.
Xu Lan's eyes widened: "Wow! It's so beautiful! This is more beautiful than the one that Teacher Wang is interested in! Second sister, where did you come from? Did you make it with the money you saved from pasting matchboxes?"
“…Uh, yes!”
Xu Lan carefully touched two handfuls: "It's so beautiful!"
“Second sister has saved enough money to make one for you later.”
Hearing what she said, Xu Lan puffed up her chest and said, "I must have done better than you. At that time, you only had to pass the two subjects of Chinese and Mathematics combined, but I could pass just one!"
Xu Yin: “…”
I knew that I was a bad student, but I didn’t expect to be so bad.
She—Xu Xueba Yin’s reputation in several generations will be ruined in this life.
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Yin followed the party secretary and walked to the commune hall to attend this year’s model worker commendation meeting.
She sat next to the party secretary. She sat upright at first. After listening to this leader's speech, then to that leader's speech...she couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.
Suddenly, I heard the host say: "Now, we invite Comrade Xu Yin from the Second Production Team of the Seven-Star Brigade of Hongqi Commune to come on stage and give a speech!"
Xu Yin suddenly woke up from her drowsiness: What? I want to give a speech? What's the speech? The branch secretary didn't say anything.
She turned to look at the party secretary, and saw him stroking his gray beard and smiling at her, as if to say: Is this surprise big?
Xu Yin was surprised but not happy: “…”
There is a saying...forget it! Considering his age, I don't mind complaining about him.
On the way to the stage, Xu Yin racked her brains and thought hard about what content to talk about?
Got it!
“Hello everyone! My name is Xu Yin, from the second production team of the Seven Star Brigade of Hongqi Commune. Today, I am honored to stand here and share my experience of double robbery with you...
“Lao Xu, here, here!”
Xu Chengjin was dragged in by the educated youth of the same period to watch the fun.
The busy farming season is over and it is rare to have free time. The educated youths who have not been out for a long time plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Passing by the commune town hall, I saw it was very lively and thought it was a movie being shown. I couldn't help but wonder why this year it wasn't an outdoor movie but was being shown in the town hall? After asking around, I found out that it was a commendation meeting for model workers.
“Let’s go! Take a look!”
It can be seen that there is really a lack of entertainment these days. Even the Model Worker Commendation Conference can attract young educated youth.
Xu Chengjin walked to the entrance and didn’t go any further. He folded his arms and leaned lazily on the door frame. On the stand, a young and beautiful girl seemed to be shining, giving a speech with a clear and eloquent accent.
I have told personal feelings from the double grabbing story, so I can really tell!
"...The great man once said: Labor is the most glorious! Where does a happy life come from? Of course it is created through labor! I believe that model workers are not one person, but a group of people, that is, the lovely working people! Ordinary but great workers !
During the double robbery, everyone did not bother to eat and worked hard, just to ensure that the collective property could be collected into the granary as quickly as possible. Everyone is racing against time and fighting against the bad weather...
Today, I stand here on behalf of them and feel very honored! I promise that in the future, I will continue to maintain this high-spirited momentum, pragmatism and hard work, and work with everyone to create a better life and a glorious future..."
Xu Chengjin lowered his eyes and chuckled without knowing which sentence he heard.
Turn around, leave the auditorium with thunderous applause, and head towards the outside world where the sky is gloomy and it looks like a heavy rain is about to fall.
Beautiful life, glorious future…
These seemed far away from him.
In the synagogue, the participants applauded so enthusiastically that their hands were numb, no matter whether they understood or not.
The commune cadres sitting in the front row unanimously praised Xu Yin for her speech and said they would send her speech to the newspaper.
Xu Yin囧: That’s not necessary!
She didn’t even remember what she said, so she improvised and forgot after she said it.
The old secretary's face glowed with excitement, and Xu Yin made him proud in front of all the commune cadres.
“You’re doing very well, kid! Remember to copy the manuscript later and give it to the leader.”
Xu Yin: “…”
If you talk until your mouth is dry and your tongue is dry, why would you also involve her hands?
It’s a bit of a loss to participate in this commendation meeting!
