Lü Haigen nodded repeatedly after listening to this, and turned to Gu Mancang and praised: "No wonder you always say that Xiao Zhu has many ideas." He then said to Fan Yanqing, "This is the foundation. We must promote it in all counties and call on farmers to learn to read."

Fan Yanqing just hated himself for not thinking of it. He could only nod repeatedly and praise Zhu Xiaomin.

In the youth cadre site, the inner courtyard was divided again, and now it is divided into four courtyards of different sizes. Zhu Xiaomin simply gave a brief introduction to the expansion history of the youth cadre site, and then invited people to come out and go up the other side of the hillside to visit the orchard.

This time was different from the last time the county leaders came. Lv Haigen did not come for a simple visit, but wanted to fully understand the production structure here. Zhu Xiaomin started by talking about what fruit trees to plant in the beginning and his thoughts when selecting seedlings, and took a few people to see each orchard.

Seeing the strips of fruit trees winding around the mountains, occupying the best terrain, Lü Haigen could not help but nod repeatedly: "Although we came late, we can already imagine the grand scene of flowers and fruits filling the mountains."

Zhu Xiaomin suddenly remembered someone's joke: "Someone heard me talking about this place before and said that we are going to build a Flower-Fruit Mountain."

Lü Haigen was startled, then burst into laughter: "It all depends on whether Comrade Xiao Zhu can perform these seventy-two changes."

Zhu Xiaomin also laughed and walked through a pine forest on the other side and climbed up the mountain: "The sunlight is better up there, and the fruits are very sweet, but the higher you go, the later the fruits ripen, which creates a time difference with the ones down there, so they can be delivered for a little longer."

Lu Haigen nodded: "You are very thoughtful."

At this time, the sun was already high, shining brightly all over the mountain. Several people were admiring the beautiful scenery here. Suddenly, a burst of clear reading sounds rang out in the mountain, reciting a poem "Ding Feng Bo" by Su Shi.

"Don't listen to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, why not hum and walk slowly. A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, who is afraid? A raincoat will protect me in the rain.

The chilly spring breeze sobers me up, a little chilly, but the slanting sunlight on the mountaintops greets me. Looking back at the place where I used to be so desolate, I return, neither wind nor rain nor clear.

Lü Haigen looked back in astonishment: "Where is this kid reciting poetry?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "In our primary school, after the first class, we have exercise time. We recite poems while doing exercise. The children who came early should be able to recite hundreds of poems and some famous ancient Chinese texts."

Lü Haigen was surprised: "Whose idea was this? It's really surprising."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled but did not answer. Yan Yimin laughed from behind: "Who else could it be? Only Zhu Zhiqing could come up with such a weird way of learning."

Lu Haigen looked back at her: "No wonder the County Education Committee wants you."

Yan Yimin shook his head: "It's a waste of talent for Zhu Zhiqing to just be a teacher."

Lu Haigen nodded repeatedly and asked Zhu Xiaomin about her initial thoughts as they walked.

At first, she just didn't want the naughty kids to go up the mountain and damage her fruit trees.

But it's hard to say this now. Zhu Xiaomin just said, "I thought that we educated youth came here, and we can't do farm work as well as the villagers here. We have to share their resources. If we can do our best and leave something here, it won't be counted as this land nurturing us. So, I thought of teaching the children to read, but later on, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Lü Haigen nodded repeatedly: "You have set an example for all the educated youth."

Zhu Xiaomin was modest in words but still walked up the mountain. She hadn't finished looking at all the orchards in the whole morning.

Lu Haigen was still in high spirits, but Fan Yanqing was already complaining in his heart.

Others wore Liberation shoes when they went to the countryside, but when he came, he thought that there would be a car to take him to the village, so he wore leather shoes. After half a day, his feet were already blistered, but since Lv Haigen was there, he didn't dare to say anything. He just couldn't help asking every once in a while: "Xiaomin, how many orchards are there?"

Gu Mancang noticed something and said with a smile, "It's almost noon now. Let's go back to the brigade headquarters to eat. The people arranged by the commune will probably be here soon."

We visited the orchard in the morning and people from the commune came for a meeting in the afternoon.

Lu Haigen followed the instructions, nodded, and asked Zhu Xiaomin to lead the way down the mountain.

Fan Yanqing felt relieved and followed step by step despite the pain in his feet.

After finally returning to the brigade headquarters, he could no longer hold on as soon as he entered the cafeteria. He ignored Lü Haigen and sat down on a chair, asking Zhu Xiaomin, "Why are there so many trees?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "This year marks the third year. In the first year, 20% of the mission forest was planted with fruit trees, and then 10% each year. Today we saw less than half."

Fan Yanqing was dumbfounded: "So... are you going to show everyone who comes?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "The bureau came in batches this time to see the achievements of the first brigade and then to carry out work in the future. I want to check on the situation of other brigades, but they are not so close."

Is this place still close?

Fan Yanqing suddenly felt that it was a good thing that they did not grab the mission here in the first place.

After dinner, Lu Haigen and several others went to the arranged room to rest. Zhu Xiaomin did not return to the educated youth point. Instead, he followed Chen Danqing to his original office and asked him if there were any problems with the things he took over. Only then did he make time to look for Huang Xiaojuan and Xia Chunhua.

During the meal, Huang Xiaojuan and Xia Chunhua sat separately because of several leaders from higher-level units. They never talked to her. Now when they saw her coming, they all ran to grab her. Huang Xiaojuan laughed: "I thought that since you became a leader, you would look down on us."

Xia Chunhua also said: "That's right, we thought you wouldn't come."

Zhu Xiaomin laughed and said, "I came back for business this time, so I have to make arrangements for them first." She pulled the two of them to sit down and asked about their situation after they separated.

Although it was only over a month, it felt like a long time had passed. The two of them held her and talked nonstop.

Talk a lot.

After talking about the situation in the village for a while, Huang Xiaojuan suddenly laughed and asked her, "Did you see Nie Yifei when you went to the mountain today?"

"Nie Yifei?" Zhu Xiaomin was surprised.

She almost forgot about this person.

Huang Xiaojuan pursed her lips and said, "He was expelled from the propaganda team and now has to go up the mountain to earn work points."

Xia Chunhua nodded immediately: "The fact that he touched the widow's door brought shame to the county. The propaganda team has to go everywhere, and we can't take him with us, nor can we keep him for nothing, so we have to remove him from the list."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and said in a cold tone: "People in the propaganda team really shouldn't have such bad behavior."

If it weren't for the fact that the widow Qian Zhuang was plotting against him and was after his people, that one incident alone would have been enough to get him sentenced to death, which was too easy for him.

Xia Chunhua also thought of Widow Qian Zhuang and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Before she could say anything, her face turned red.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "If there is anything funny, don't keep it to yourself, tell us about it."
