The older woman was dragged away without a word. Yang Yue looked up at their backs, didn't say anything, put the bowl on her pillow, and shrank back into the quilt.
That's right, she really didn't take the older sister seriously.
……
Yun Shu knew nothing about the main wife's affairs; she was currently having dinner at the brigade leader's house.
If these past two days have been bad for Yang Yue, then they must have been good for Yun Shu.
First, the hasty emergency measures taken in the panic were effective, and the diluted spring water also worked well, ensuring the safety of the pregnant woman and her baby.
Secondly, Yun Shu's actions received unanimous praise from the entire Fengsheng Brigade, the educated youth office, the commune, and the county party committee upon learning the news. The brigade leader had been busy with this matter for the past two days, and the reason he asked Xie Yicheng to bring Yun Shu to his home for dinner today was to discuss this issue.
The county unanimously decided to let Yunshu join the organization. The commune recommended her, the old members of the educated youth office acted as guarantors, and the county approved the application.
Of course, it wasn't an immediate membership; one had to first submit an application and serve as an activist for a period of time. However, because Yun Shu had been a progressive youth before, had family connections, and most importantly, performed exceptionally well, she couldn't remain an activist for very long.
This is a pleasant surprise; no matter when, this identity will only bring benefits and no drawbacks.
You know, there aren't many like that in the entire Fengsheng Brigade. Oh, and Comrade Xie Yicheng, the combat hero next to me, is one of them. His achievements are truly remarkable! But... how should an application form be written in this era?
Thinking of this, Yun Shu looked at her boyfriend with bright, sparkling eyes. Xie Yicheng was initially stunned by her boyfriend's beauty, but after barely managing to calm his wildly beating heart, he understood Yun Shu's thoughts.
He smiled and nodded, indicating that he would help Yun Shu write a perfect application. Only then did Yun Shu contentedly put a piece of chicken on Xie Yicheng's plate as a sign of praise.
The other people at the dinner table watched the couple's loving interaction with great smiles, unable to contain their adoration and their smiles practically reaching the heavens.
The captain was also happy because if Yun Shu successfully joined the organization, then she and Xie Yicheng would be a family with two members and two workers.
These ingredients, these conditions!
Bring glory to your ancestors!
The captain mentally gave himself a huge thumbs up for introducing Xie Yicheng to Yun Shu.
……
After dinner, Yun Shu was guided by Xie Yicheng to write an application.
Many times, Yun Shu's muscles and mind were on the verge of writing down what would happen in the future. Fortunately, she managed to control herself at the last moment. Otherwise, if she had actually written it down, Yun Shu might have been ruined.
With great difficulty, under Xie Yicheng's guidance, Yun Shu finished writing an application in three hours. The next morning, people from the county, the educated youth office, and the commune came to Fengsheng Brigade again.
This commendation ceremony was not a large-scale event; it was held only at the educated youth settlement. Some team members gathered outside to watch the spectacle. Yun Shu's best friend, Lin Jing Shu, clapped enthusiastically for her friend's success, as did Jiang Xiu Cheng and Du Yu Jiao. Later, all the educated youth at the settlement joined in.
Yang Yue, hiding behind the crowd, suddenly stared intently at Yun Shu, but no one paid any attention to her at the moment. They were all focused on watching Yun Shu receive the award, submit the application, accept the banner, and take photos with the leaders.
It was the same leader who presented the awards to Yun Shu and the others last time, only the police officers were missing. One of the female leaders held Yun Shu's hand, showering her with praise until Yun Shu's cheeks turned bright red.
After habitually asking Yun Shu if she had a boyfriend and who he was, Xie Yicheng, being a perfect boyfriend, naturally made these leaders even more satisfied.
After all, it's a common practice these days that unmarried people are rarely valued by their superiors, but it's different when you're married. Being married means you're responsible and can handle things.
Although this does not conform to the personnel selection criteria of later generations, it is obvious that this was the trend of the times.
……
The leaders didn't stay long either; once they finished their business, they all went back without giving anyone else a chance to speak.
After the leaders left, Xie Yiguang, his wife who was still in her postpartum period, and his parents, father-in-law, and mother-in-law suddenly arrived at the educated youth settlement. Upon seeing Yun Shu, the group of people immediately knelt down without saying a word. Yun Shu was startled and instinctively jumped away. After realizing what was happening, she and Xie Yicheng hurriedly helped her up.
They knew they meant no harm, but if Yun Shu had just been praised and then made the farmers kneel before her, all the honors would probably vanish in an instant.
Xie Yicheng hurriedly explained to Xie Yiguang and his group who were still struggling. The group, realizing that they had almost harmed Yun Shu, turned pale with fright, their knees stiffened instantly, and they looked at each other, not daring to speak.
Fortunately, Xie Yicheng was an all-around boyfriend, and Xie Yiguang was his cousin. With Xie Yicheng mediating, the atmosphere quickly eased.
This family came to thank Yun Shu, and also to return the military overcoat she gave them.
At that time, the couple naturally envied Xie, the educated youth, for having a military overcoat. But who could have imagined that not long after, they would be wearing the same overcoat?
But in any case, this military overcoat gave Xie Yiguang's wife a sense of security and warmth, and saved her face when she was at her most embarrassed.
Before being taken to the hospital and wheeled into the operating room, her last words were a reminder to her husband to take good care of the military overcoat. After receiving the seventy yuan from Yang Yue, she immediately tried to wash the bloodstains and dirt off the overcoat.
They used laundry detergent, soap, and floral water, ignoring their grandson's diapers. Xie Yiguang's mother carefully washed the clothes by hand, and Xie Yiguang's daughter-in-law—Xiao Mei's mother—dryed them carefully to make sure they looked spotless and smelled nice before the family dared to deliver the clothes to Yun Shu.
Besides the military overcoat, there was a basket of eggs and some other things, all of which are very precious to country folk and are usually saved for the New Year. This time, they brought them all out to thank Yun Shu.
The family was extremely embarrassed, after all, they knew the coat was brand new. But Xie Zhiqing hadn't even worn it for a day before they'd stained it, especially with the blood from their daughter Xiaomei's childbirth…
Most people would avoid this situation at all costs, but they didn't expect Xie Zhiqing to be so kind and compassionate. Even if Xie Zhiqing thought it was unlucky, they would accept it.
The family hesitated, unsure what to say, but Yun Shu simply reached out and took the military overcoat, feeling the lingering warmth from the charcoal fire, and immediately put it on...
