The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Yan Yimin said with a smile: "Our supply and marketing cooperative also needs sources of goods, so this can be considered a mutual achievement."

While everyone was talking, the canning had reached the final stage. The lids of the steamed cans were quickly screwed on and sent to the machine for the final sealing.

On the other side, the finished cans are lifted onto the operating table, and another group of people stick the labels that have already been cut onto the bottles, and the complete cans are ready.

Zhu Xiaomin took the opportunity to say: "Last year, the first batch of teams made canned food for the first time. The previous steps were the same, but for the last step, there were few people in the team who could read, so we couldn't find anyone to do it. In the end, it was our elementary school students who completed it."

"So, you proposed to open literacy classes last year?" Liu Zhuangzhi asked.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Yes, that's when I thought of it. This is obviously the simplest and most technically demanding step, but it's stuck here because everyone is illiterate."

Liu Zhuangzhi nodded repeatedly.

Pei Wenyuan knew about the literacy class and nodded, "We need to promote this literacy class throughout the region."

Zhu Xiaomin looked at Jiang Jiancheng and said with a smile: "Our commune has established two more village-run primary schools and is also offering literacy classes. I think the first team should also keep up with this."

Gu Mancang immediately expressed his opinion: "Of course, of course, we were delayed because of the construction of the food factory. Now that everything is on track, we still have to start this literacy class."

Zhu Xiaomin added: "Last time I went to a literacy class, I saw that everyone was taking classes together. In fact, they can be divided into different age groups. First, it is easier to concentrate in a small class. Second, the progress of each age group can be different. We can focus on training young people. When we expand production in the future, outstanding ones can participate in management."

Gu Mancang nodded repeatedly: "Secretary Zhu is right. I will discuss this with Captain Xie later."

When I met Zhu Xiaomin alone before, I used the customary address. Now, after being with so many leaders for most of the day, watching Zhu Xiaomin chatting and laughing among them, I gradually felt the change in Zhu Xiaomin's status, so I changed the way I addressed her.

While the canned food was being made, the peels had been sent for juicing. Before bottling, Zhu Xiaomin asked someone to bring cups and scoop out half a cup for each person to taste.

Pei Wenyuan nodded after tasting it: "This tastes good. I'll send a batch to the city later to test the sales."

Zhu Xiaomin said: "This is freshly squeezed juice. It needs to be sterilized at high temperature before being bottled. The taste will be slightly worse than this, but there is nothing similar on the market. As long as the price is not high, sales should not be bad."

Due to the shortage of resources, there is no fruit juice, not even bottled soda, on the market. The purpose of this kind of juice on the market is to drink it for its freshness.

Pei Wenyuan smiled: "I am increasingly looking forward to the performance of your food factory."

After seeing the entire process of canning and fruit juice, it was already late, so He Guohua invited Pei Wenyuan and his party to get in the car and go back to the county.

Before Liu Zhuangzhi left, he said, "Xiao Zhu, take your time with the things here. Don't be in a hurry. Come back when you're done."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded in agreement and sent a few people into the car.

After a day of work, she was a little tired, so she left the remaining matters to Xie Chengzhi, and she and Lu Mingzheng followed Gu Mancang and his party back first.

The food factory started operations smoothly, and the delivery and employment regulations of each team were also straightened out. Zhu Xiaomin stayed for a few more days and then prepared to go back to the city with Lu Mingzheng.

The day before she left, she hugged Luo Ye who was reluctant to leave, and comforted him with a smile. Thinking of the big news in two months, she wanted to say it several times, but she held back again and just said with a smile: "I will be back after the autumn harvest. Please help me take good care of those naughty kids."

Luo Ye nodded, but still reluctant.

Zhu Xiaomin touched his head and went to see Luo Tingyuan again: "There are several children in Class 1 who are about to reach the age to earn work points. After the autumn harvest, Teacher Luo will give them a set of questions to take a graduation exam. Those who pass will be sent to the commune by Aijun and others to get their graduation certificates."

Most of these children are old enough to earn work points and cannot continue their studies, but with a primary school diploma they will have the opportunity to be employed in the future.

When Luo Tingyuan heard that she was still considering the children after being away for such a long time, he nodded in agreement.

Zhu Xiaomin then said to Chen Danqing: "The first brigade will also hold literacy classes later. No matter how you decide to teach the classes, you should tell these graduating children and let them go ahead and take the classes."

No wonder she said that the literacy classes would be divided into smaller classes for different age groups. This is basically a roundabout way of making these children learn junior high school courses.

Chen Danqing understood and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, we will teach students according to their aptitude."

Miao Shiwen sighed beside him: "We will also consider these things, you don't have to worry so much."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, her hand still stroking Luo Ye's soft hair from time to time.

What she wanted to arrange the most was the father and son of the Luo family, but some things were hard to say.

Fortunately, it will be soon.

After the autumn harvest, the big news will come.

But before that, a generation of great men passed away, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to everyone.

She had experienced everything with them in her previous life, and she was not worried because life would go on after the grief.

Knowing the time she would return to the city, Yan Yimin specially sent a car to pick her up. Under everyone's reluctant gaze, Zhu Xiaomin and Lu Mingzheng left the mountain village and returned to the city.

Afterwards, the Hengyin County Supply and Marketing Cooperative arranged a transport team through the county. First, barrels of sunflower oil were shipped, and then canned food and fruit juice produced by the Zhulu Food Factory were shipped to various counties in Pingcheng and Yunzhong areas.

The administrative office then stepped in to communicate and sent all the products to major supply and marketing cooperatives.

The eased pressure on grain and oil has made the grain departments in Pingcheng and various counties breathe a sigh of relief, and the new canned foods and fruit juices supplied by the supply and marketing cooperatives have also added a touch of color to people's tables.

Some people who were more attentive also noticed the special mark on the bottle label and remembered the word "Zhulu".

In the advancement of these tasks, Zhu Xiaomin was only involved in the exchange of documents, and most of his energy was used to maintain his health.

Lu Mingzheng stayed in Pingcheng until the end of the month. He would take her to and from get off work every day. Sometimes he would take her to see a movie after get off work, or prepare the ingredients himself and wait for her to cook when she returned.

There is no way. Although Lu Mingzheng's hands are not disabled, there is no way he can compare with his wife.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Mingzheng was about to start school. He left for two days and came back with a woman in her thirties. He said to Zhu Xiaomin, "This is Mrs. Jiang, a martyr's relative. I'm not here, and you need someone to take care of you. Let Mrs. Jiang stay here to help."

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned and stared at him for a long time. She was defeated by his frank gaze and had to nod and let Mrs. Jiang settle down in the house opposite.

While waiting for the two of them, she pinched the soft flesh on Lu Mingzheng's waist and gritted her teeth angrily: "You should have discussed this with me first."
