After the rush of harvest in the villages ca to an end, the captains and commune directors from each village went to the town for a eting to report the yield.
During the eting, the captain and director from Stone Bridge Village felt like the Deputy County Head kept smiling at them. They wondered if sothing was funny, but looked down at their neatly dressed selves and saw nothing amiss.
After the eting ended, just as the two were about to leave, the Deputy County Head stopped them: "Director Huang, Captain Wang, you both have done a great job. Stone Bridge Village is really full of talents."
Upon hearing this, the two thought the Deputy County Head was praising Jiang Mianmian.
Director Huang quickly agreed, "Yes, Deputy County Head, Mianmian is indeed an exceptional talent. She’s only eleven and already got the top score in the city. This child has limitless potential."
The Deputy County Head, hearing this, realized they misunderstood him.
He explained with a smile, "Director Huang, I wasn’t talking about Jiang Mianmian, but her mother, Su Wanyu. This woman is as outstanding as any man. With her capabilities, she surpassed others in the town and joined the city’s translation departnt, bringing great honor to our town and county."
"What? Su Wanyu?" Captain Wang was so surprised by this that he blurted out his reaction.
Realizing that his reaction was too much, Captain Wang quickly covered his mouth and bent slightly in apology, "Sorry, Deputy County Head, I was too excited."
"No worries, I was very surprised when I first learned of it too. The ideological work in your brigade these past few years has been excellent. Jiang Mianmian and her parents are all hardworking people, and your village has the highest number of girls attending school. This is very good; even the Chairman said, ’Won can hold up half the sky.’ We can’t overlook the power of won."
"Yes, Deputy County Head, you are right. We will definitely strengthen our ideological work in the future to ensure all villagers understand the Chairman’s intentions," Director Huang expressed happily.
"Deputy County Head, we will continue to work hard to cultivate more talents for the county," Captain Lin echoed.
Since Jiang Mianmian started school, the two of them have been praised several tis by the leaders of the town and county because of her excellence. They were the first to benefit from her brilliance.
It’s believed that in a few years, when Jiang Mianmian, the little prodigy, fully grows up, the two of them might elevate to higher positions because of her ’outstanding achievents’.
Leaving the eting room, the two returned to Stone Bridge Village in high spirits.
Although the grain harvest was over, there was still plenty of work to do in the fields.
Upon returning, Director Huang and Captain Lin headed straight to the plot where the Jiang family mbers were working.
In the field, Director Huang clapped his hands and loudly announced, "Co, everyone, stop what you’re doing for a mont. I have so great news to announce."
The villagers, tired from work, were eager to hear good news from Director Huang and quickly gathered around.
Zhang Guihua, who loved joining in on a lively scene, asked loudly even before reaching the spot, "Director Huang, what’s the good news?"
"Aunt Jiang, it’s great news about your family," Director Huang said, addressing the old lady with great respect as if she were a family elder.
"Great news about my family?" The old lady was puzzled by Director Huang’s cryptic words.
"Yes, indeed, great news!"
