At this time, the supply and marketing cooperative was bustling with people coming and going, and the shelves were filled with a wide variety of goods.

All kinds of daily necessities, agricultural supplies and tools are available. Customers walk through the aisles, selecting the items they like.

The salespeople greeted customers warmly and answered their questions patiently, presenting a prosperous scene.

Wang Jianguo stood at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, watching all this quietly, with a warm feeling in his heart.

He took a deep breath, feeling the atmosphere full of vitality and vigor, and felt that every day of life here was fulfilling and meaningful.

The days were becoming more hopeful and promising, and the blueprint for the future was slowly unfolding in his mind.

He firmly believes that there are more beautiful things waiting for him to create and realize on this land.

He slowly raised his head and glanced at the busy people in the supply and marketing cooperative.

I saw that everyone was fully committed and working hard at their own posts, with beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads, but their faces were filled with simple and determined expressions.

Those pairs of hardworking hands, either skillfully sorting goods or warmly welcoming customers, are performing the ordinary yet great song of labor in this small world.

Witnessing these scenes, his heart felt as if being gently brushed by a warm current, causing ripples to appear in its depths.

Aren’t these people who silently dedicate themselves and work hard the ones who deserve the most respect and gratitude in life?

They may not have performed earth-shattering feats, but they provide indispensable support and convenience for everyone's lives through their perseverance day after day.

At this moment full of emotion, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then walked towards the direction where He Yushui was with steady steps.

He Yushui was concentrating on checking the accounts, and the pen in his hand rustled on the account book. He patted He Yushui's shoulder gently.

When He Yushui raised her head with a questioning look in her eyes, he leaned over slightly, got close to He Yushui's ear, and whispered in a soft and slightly earnest tone:

"Yushui, I want to trouble you with something tonight."

Although the voice was low, it was full of trust and expectation, as if there was an unknown but crucial instruction hidden in these simple words.

When He Yushui heard this, his originally calm expression froze instantly, his brows unconsciously wrinkled slightly, and a hint of obvious difficulty flashed in his eyes.

She sighed softly, and said with a slightly distressed and angry tone:

"Brother Jianguo, what do you want to talk to me about? You don't know that I have been busy since early morning today and I didn't even have time to take a breath."

"I was extremely tired this afternoon. It felt like all the strength in my body had been drained away."

"If you keep ordering me around like this, you have to give me a raise, or I'll feel so unbalanced."

Wang Jianguo looked at He Yushui's tired but playful appearance and couldn't help laughing. He said with a gentle smile on his face:

"Yushui, don't worry. I know everything and I won't treat you unfairly."

"Look, isn't the New Year coming soon? Next time I go to the city supply and marketing cooperative to buy goods, I'll take you with me."

"When we get there, I'll take you to buy two nice clothes as a reward for your hard work. How do you think?"

There was some concern and sincerity in Wang Jianguo's eyes, as if he wanted to use this method to relieve He Yushui's fatigue and dissatisfaction.

At the same time, it also adds some anticipation and joy to the upcoming New Year.

As soon as Wang Jianguo finished speaking, He Yushui was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but burst out laughing as if he had heard something extremely interesting.

She raised her slender hand and gently covered her mouth. Her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and laughter continued to flow out from between her fingers:

"Brother Jianguo, look at how serious you look. I was just teasing you. You are always so nice to me and you have given me so much. I know it all and I am grateful."

He Yushui put down his hand, a sincere smile on his face, and looked at Wang Jianguo with sparkling eyes, with a bit of intimacy and trust, and then continued:

"Okay, Brother Jianguo, don't be so formal with me. Just tell me what you have to say."

Wang Jianguo looked at He Yushui's playful and cute appearance, and couldn't help being infected by her liveliness, and the expression on his face became more gentle.

He paused for a moment, as if to organize his thoughts, and then continued:

"Yushui, you know that today is the official opening day of our supply and marketing cooperative."

"I was busy the whole day greeting fellow villagers who came to congratulate me and colleagues who came to observe and exchange ideas. I was so busy that I was dizzy."

"But only now did I realize that the people who worked the hardest and deserved the best treatment for the smooth opening of our supply and marketing cooperative are actually the employees of our supply and marketing cooperative."

At this point, Wang Jianguo's eyes revealed a hint of guilt and emotion. He glanced around at the employees who were still busy cleaning up, his eyes full of gratitude and respect.

"I was wondering if there were any leftover ingredients from the lunch at the supply and marketing cooperative today?"

"If there are any more, let's have a good gathering in the evening with the brothers and sisters in the supply and marketing cooperative to have some fun."

Wang Jianguo's eyes were full of expectation. He looked at He Yushui with a bit of earnestness in his eyes.

"Besides, Yushui, everyone praises your cooking skills. I'd like to trouble you to cook a delicious meal for everyone so that everyone can relax. What do you think?"

Wang Jianguo's words were full of care for the employees and his trust in He Yushui's cooking skills.

He hopes that through such a gathering, everyone can feel the warmth and cohesion of the group in addition to their busy work.

Let’s celebrate together this special day of the successful opening of the supply and marketing cooperative and cheer each other on for future work.

When He Yushui heard what Wang Jianguo said, a smug smile instantly broke out on her face. That smile was filled with pride and intelligence, as if to say that she had already seen through everything.

She straightened her back, looked at Wang Jianguo with sparkling eyes, and said in a brisk tone:

"Brother Jianguo, I knew you were going to come to me to discuss this. I thought it was a huge problem, but in fact, I had thought of it before you."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently stroked the hair beside her ear. Her eyes sparkled with a lively light as she began to describe the story vividly:

"You know, the supply and marketing cooperative opened today. It was so lively, with people coming and going. I could feel the hustle and bustle outside even from the kitchen."

"I thought at the time that everyone was so focused on the opening that they certainly wouldn't have time to eat, let alone a good meal."

"So, when I was busy in the kitchen at noon, I carefully selected all the fresh and good ingredients and kept them aside."
