When most people had arrived, the team leader took a loud speaker and began to speak on the podium.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I have called you all here for this meeting today. I'm sure you are not aware of this.

Just now, the director of the town’s Public Security Bureau and the secretary of our commune both arrived.

I'm sure you have some ideas as to why they came here."

Someone shouted from below, "Captain, the director of the Public Security Bureau is here. Is it because of Liu Zhiqing's arrest of the human trafficker?"

"It must be for this matter. Otherwise, why would the director of the town's public security bureau come to our place?"

“Everyone, be quiet.

You guessed it right, Director Xie of the Public Security Bureau and the commune secretary came here to give Liu the reward. "

"Captain, what kind of reward did they give to Liu Zhiqing?" someone asked.

Aunt Sufen scolded, "What kind of reward they got has nothing to do with you. Why are you asking so clearly?"

"That's right, even if you knew what it was, would you still want a piece of it?

Catching human traffickers has nothing to do with you, sending them to the police station has nothing to do with you, and any reward they receive has nothing to do with you." Aunt Cuihua also chimed in.

The man who asked the question shrank his neck and argued for himself, "I'm just curious about what reward Liu Zhiqing got, and I don't plan to do anything.

Are you not even allowed to ask? "

“It’s someone else’s stuff, why ask?

Do you have to tell the villagers every time your family buys something in town or gets something good in the mountains?

You can't even do it yourself, so why should Xiaoxue tell you what reward she got?" Aunt Sufen scolded unceremoniously.

"She is just suffering from red eye disease. She can't stand seeing others doing better than her."

The others who also wanted to know what reward Liu Zhiqing had received, seeing that the person who spoke first was besieged by the group, secretly thanked their lucky stars that they were a step slower and did not ask.

The captain stood on the stage and did not stop them, allowing his wife to lead the others to attack the man.

Only when he felt that it was almost enough did he speak up to stop her, "Alright, will you let me continue?"

When Aunt Sufen heard her husband speak, she shut up.

When the others heard the captain speak, they stopped talking too.

The captain picked up the loudspeaker and continued to shout, "Don't ask what kind of reward others have received.

Even if you knew, it couldn't be yours, and it would cause you conjunctivitis.

If I know that someone interrogated Liu Zhiqing about her reward, I will let him take on the job of carrying manure next year."

"Did you hear what I said?" asked the captain.

There was a chorus of responses: “I heard you.”

"You guys interrupted me and took me off topic. Let's get back to the point.

Director Xie and Secretary Yan came here this time to present a banner to Liu Zhiqing.

Thanks to Liu Zhiqing, our team was commended by the Public Security Bureau and received a silk banner. "

After hearing what the captain said, the villagers were furious.

Liu Tiejun, the leader of the third production team, said, "Captain, with this silk banner, our team will have a better chance of becoming the advanced production team this year."

The captain's eyes lit up. Yes, he had been so dazzled by the tractor that he had forgotten about this matter.

He thought for a moment and nodded, "As long as we don't fall behind when paying public grain and handing over live pigs, we should be able to become an advanced production team."

After hearing this, Liu Tiejun clapped his hands in joy and said, "Great! As long as we win the title of advanced production brigade, I wonder how Liushugou will laugh at us in the future."

"That's right. Their village won the Advanced Production Brigade Award. What's so great about that? Our village has won it before, too."

“Our village was an advanced production brigade every year before, but we never showed off in front of them.

They were so happy last year because they just got a small fortune, and they showed off everywhere."

"If someone hadn't done something bad last year and implicated our brigade, causing us to lose the advanced production brigade and let them take it, they wouldn't have dared to show off in front of us."

"In the final analysis, it was all the fault of those educated youth. It was their carelessness that caused the trouble."

Hearing the villagers' discussions, the old educated youth all shrank their necks to reduce their presence.

Some people took the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction with the educated youth.

"I don't know why the higher-ups sent these educated youth down here. They can't do anything, and they also took away the food that should have belonged to us.

What’s even more hateful is that it has brought a lot of trouble to our village.”

"that is.

The slogans are shouted loudly, but why would they come down to help us build a new countryside?

Whatever they can build, it’s not enough to cause trouble for us.”

Seeing that the villagers below began to criticize the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside again, the team leader hurriedly stopped them.

"Okay, with your brains, how can you possibly understand the deeper meaning of the policies above?

We just need to follow the above policies and cultivate your land well. You don't need to worry about those brain-consuming things.

You don’t have the brains.”

Secretary Xu chimed in, "Don't generalize.

There may be one or two bad apples among the educated youth, but most of them are good.

Look at Liu Zhiqing. He is a very good person and has brought great honor to our village.

There are also Zhou Zhiqing, Zheng Zhiqing, Li Zhiqing, Qin Zhiqing, etc. They are not bad either.”

"The secretary is right. Not all educated youth are bad. There are still good ones."

The captain quickly brought the topic back to the topic, "Just now I said that our team also won a pennant. Although this is also a happy event, it is not worth calling you all together for a meeting at short notice."

Someone in the audience heard the captain's hidden meaning and asked curiously,

"Captain, from what you said, you have even greater good news that you haven't announced yet."

The captain's face was filled with smiles. "Of course, why else would I call you all together for a meeting?"

"Captain, please speak quickly and don't keep us in suspense.

Look how happy you and the secretary are, it seems this is a big happy event."

The team leader cleared his throat and said, "Thanks to Liu Zhiqing, the commune secretary believes that our production team has made a contribution in catching the human traffickers, so he decided to give us one of the commune's tractor quotas next year."

It was quiet down there.

After a while, someone responded, "Captain, you mean our village has got a quota for tractors.

Our village will have a tractor next year."

“You heard it right, our village has finally got the tractor quota that we have been dreaming about for many years.

Our village will be able to buy a tractor next year."

"Hahahaha, our village will finally have a tractor."

"Great, I'm finally going to buy a tractor."

The villagers below were all jubilant, even the educated youth looked happy.

To be honest, Liu Jingxue couldn't understand why they were so happy just because of a tractor.

But even though she didn't understand, it didn't stop her from having fun together.

After everyone calmed down a bit, the captain said, "Who should we thank the most for our village getting the tractor quota this time?"

"Liu Zhiqing."

"Thank you, Liu Zhiqing."

Shouts came from below.

The people standing next to Liu Jingxue would pull her aside to thank them from time to time.

“Since you have benefited from others, don’t bully them in the future.

We can’t do the kind of thing in our village where people pick up their bowls to eat and then put down their chopsticks to curse their mothers, do you hear me?”

"No."

"Okay, let's stop here. All the children in the village can stay, and everyone else can go home."

"Captain, what are we doing leaving the children here?" a villager asked.

"Aren't you asking what reward Liu Zhiqing got?

The rewards included cakes and candies. Liu Zhiqing took them out and wanted to share them with the children in the village.

You guys should learn to be grateful and not bully the little girl."

"That's absolutely not possible."
