"Our Murakami newspaper!"

Chu Dayou held several newspapers in his hand, and as soon as he entered the door, he excitedly shouted at the people in the brigade.

That old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They stepped forward one after another, picked up a newspaper from the old secretary's hand and read it. Some of them who didn't know the words waited eagerly for others to read it.

Chu Jianghe also took a newspaper, and sure enough, he found a report about Xiaohe Village in a corner of the newspaper.

He knew in his heart that Xiaohe Village was not worthy of a large page, so he would be content with just one report.

It had been almost half a month since Xu Chunyan left, and he was thinking that it was time for the interview in Xiaohe Village to be reported.

On May 5, People's Daily published a special commentator's article on "Implementing the Socialist Principle of Distribution According to Work," and on May 5, it issued a "Notice on Implementing the Reward and Piece Wage System."

Chu Jianghe doubted whether he had a role in the appearance of these two articles.

Turning to the front page again, Chu Jianghe sighed in his heart when he saw the familiar article reprinted. It seemed that the dust had settled.

Regardless of the others, Chu Dayou took a newspaper, cleared his throat, and read loudly in his not-so-standard Mandarin.

"Scientific development, more, faster, better and more economical."

"Record of the development of collective economy in Xiaohe Village, Changnian Town, Yongfeng County..."

……

"Our reporters, Xu Chunyan, Guo Zhenguo."

In the office of the brigade headquarters, Chu Dayou was walking and reading. Due to the excitement, his face was flushed and his eyes were slightly moist. His clear Mandarin was mixed with the local accent, which was so loud that it kept echoing in the office.

Until he finished reading the entire article, Chu Dayou couldn't suppress his excitement, his lips were trembling slightly, and tears almost burst out of his eyes, but he held it back.

This man, who had walked through the hail of bullets and shed no tears, really wanted to cry at this moment.

How many years have passed since I came back from changing jobs and worked day and night with my fellow villagers, but the final result was always unsatisfactory.

Every time he saw the disappointed and numb look in the eyes of the villagers, it hurt like it was tugging at his heart.

Other villages gradually became wealthy, but Xiaohe Village remained unchanged, and he always fell into deep self-blame.

If possible, he really wanted to go to the battlefield and face the enemy directly instead of facing the folks in his hometown.

Facing the enemy is at best physical pain, while facing the fellow villagers is spiritual torture.

Fortunately, he waited until Xiaohe Village finally walked out on its own path, and Xiaohe Village was even published in the newspapers. This was the affirmation given to them by the higher authorities.

Chu Dayou has only one idea now, which is to share!

Let everyone know about the newspaper in Xiaohe Village.

Chu Dayou was excited, and the others looked excited. They knew clearly what it meant to them to be in the newspaper.

"Old Secretary!"

"Old Secretary!"

……

Everyone looked at Chu Dayou with tears in their eyes, and Chu Jianghe also looked at his father with concern. He didn't know his father's heartache, and was afraid that he would be too excited.

Chu Dayou calmed down at this moment and began to give orders.

"Look how many firecrackers there are, take out all our belongings and let me set them off as hard as I can!"

"Jiang He, arrange for a few people to turn on the radio and read the newspaper to me, so that everyone in our village can hear it!"

"Okay, old secretary."

"Okay, Dad."

After giving these instructions, Chu Dayou left the brigade headquarters. There was wind at his feet along the way, and he arrived at the pig farm after a while.

As soon as he entered, he pulled Song Liansheng up from the recliner and motioned to him with the newspaper in his hand.

"Professor Song, look, our Xiaohe Village has been in the newspaper!"

Chu Dayou was now like a child who had just received a certificate and was eager to be praised by his parents.

Song Liansheng was a man who had seen the big world, so he thought there was something wrong with him coming here, but it turned out because of this.

However, seeing how excited he was, it was hard to pour cold water on him. He immediately encouraged him: "Da You, you did a good job. If Lao Qin knew about it, he would definitely be happy for you."

After saying that, he continued to lie on the recliner and enjoy himself.

Chu Dayou secretly cursed himself for being confused. Why didn't he share such a big thing with his old chief, but he still went to the pig farm to share it with his in-laws.

Liu Laoshi was naturally very excited. He was now also a member of the pig farm and had made contributions. He also had a share of the credit for being published in the newspaper.

Chu Dayou rushed to the town without stopping and called his old chief.

As soon as the call was connected, Commander Qin's majestic voice came: "Da You, I saw the newspaper. You did a good job. You are worthy of being the soldier I led. The old political commissar praised you."

Hearing the name of the old political commissar, even Chu Dayou couldn't help but tremble: "Already the old political commissar knows?"

"Haha, the old political commissar is very happy to know that you are also from our army. He said that it is the comrades like you at the grassroots level who are dedicated and diligent, paying attention to development while summing up experience and lessons, that is where our hope lies!"

……

"It's great, do it well!"

"Yes, old chief."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Dayou was still in a state of excitement. He couldn't calm down for a long time and almost burst into tears on the spot.

But who asked Director Sun to be around, so I had to hold back again.

Director Sun was envious: "Old Chu, your Xiaohe Village is now famous, and it can be regarded as a gold medal for immunity from death. With this report, let me see who dares to find fault with your Xiaohe Village."

Then he expressed his proposal: "How about asking for your opinion and letting Jiang He come to work in the town?"

"no!"

Chu Dayou flatly refused, joking. His son took the most credit for Xiaohe Village's current good situation, and there were still many jobs waiting for him. How could he be allowed to work in the town.

Besides, his son doesn't like the jobs in this town now.

"Old Chu, Old Chu, don't leave, let's discuss it again..."

Chu Dayou returned to the village regardless of Director Sun's insistence on staying.

As soon as we returned to the village, the air was still filled with the smell of firecrackers, and there were a lot of red confetti on the ground.

As soon as the news in the newspaper spread, the entire Xiaohe Village was excited. Over the years, when had their Xiaohe Village ever been so prosperous?

Just like the New Year, everyone consciously took out their treasured firecrackers and lit them. The crackling sound lasted in the village for a long time.

This celebration even alarmed the pigs in the pig farm. They were all woken up by the sound of firecrackers, making Liu Laoshi and his people busy with their work until the sound of firecrackers stopped. It took a lot of effort to appease them all.

Chu Dayou walked into the village beautifully. At this time, Chu Jianghe sent literate people to Xiaohe Village, the fields, the threshing floor, and the village square. They held newspapers and shouted loudly to the villagers. Thinking.

These people gathered in a group, surrounding the person reading the newspaper. Even though the clothes on their bodies were still the same and their lives had not changed much, the smiles on their faces came from the bottom of their hearts.

Even the old people in the village were sitting aside and talking excitedly.

Knowledgeable people have long said that being published in the newspaper means that their actions in Xiaohe Village have been noticed and affirmed by the higher authorities.

They all know clearly that the good days of Xiaohe Village are not far away.
