Chapter 14 Commune General Assembly Announcement and Commendation
"What on earth is going on?" Su Qing had no memory of this in her previous life.
Judging from this incident, a series of events produced a domino effect.
Su Qing gave it a preliminary look.
It all started with her fake marriage to Lu Xingchen.
The appearance of Lu Xingchen solved the current crisis of the Su family.
Su Hang usually didn't say much to her, but now he called the police to save her.
Can destiny really be rewritten?
This is the point that Su Qing is quite sure of at the moment.
"Su Hang told me that he didn't gamble, nor did he owe anyone any gambling debts. The one who actually owed debts from gambling was Su Daniu, and it was Su Daniu who put the blame on Su Hang. You can go back and ask Su Hang for the details." Lu Xingchen saw Su Qing lost in thought, and waited until she came to her senses before speaking.
"No gambling! This guy really didn't gamble." Su Hang said it to his face last time. Su Qing didn't trust him and felt a little guilty.
In his previous life, Su Hang was hanging out with all kinds of people, and was framed and sent to prison.
I hope that my third brother can walk on the right path in this life!
"Sister, where did you get so much money?" Su Hang asked before Su Qing could speak after returning to her parents' home.
"What money?" Su Qing was a little surprised.
"Isn't it the 2,000 yuan you gave to the village party secretary?" Su Hang asked.
"Ah, you mean this, that's what happened..."
Before Su Qing finished speaking, Ye Xinglian, who was standing next to her, heard the huge sum of 2,000 yuan and immediately came over, "Qingqing, where did you get so much money?"
"It's the betrothal money given by Lu Xingchen."
"Dowry: 2,000 yuan!" Ye Xinglian couldn't believe her eyes. She was a money-grubber.
When Aunt Zhang introduced Old Li's second son and said the betrothal gift was 500 yuan, Ye Xinglian's eyes lit up.
If there is a 2,000 yuan gift, even if the other party is disabled or crazy...
All her ten daughters were willing to marry him.
"Are you crazy? You just gave him two thousand yuan." Ye Xinglian was very confused.
In this era, two thousand yuan is not a small sum of money, and there are only a few households in the village with an annual income of over ten thousand yuan.
"Yes, it was given directly, and you don't have to pay it back, let alone interest." Su Hang added.
"What! Qingqing, can you tell me what is going on?" Ye Xinglian couldn't believe it.
"For my eldest brother and third brother. I told you before." Su Qing believed that she did not use the money to do anything shameful.
"Is this worth it?" Ye Xinglian still felt a little regretful and unwilling.
Su Qing raised her head and said, "Isn't it worth it? Now it's a planned economy. I will find a stable job for the two brothers. Sooner or later, I will earn it back. Please believe me."
When Su Hang heard that Su Qing did this for him, an imperceptible feeling flashed in his eyes.
Is it happiness, warmth, or something else? Even he himself may not be able to figure it out.
In fact, in that era, truck drivers, film projectionists, supply and marketing cooperative salesmen, grain station quality inspectors, etc. were all relatively popular jobs.
These jobs are equivalent to iron rice bowls in this era, and the wages are several times higher than the work points earned by ordinary villagers.
Although, it is not so exaggerated that two brothers can earn 2,000 yuan in just two or three years.
Take a movie projectionist for example, his monthly salary may only be 30 or 40 yuan.
But Su Qing had other plans for doing this.
It was during this period that Su Qing planted fruits such as lychees and longans in addition to crops such as sugarcane and corn in the system space.
The brothers' work made it convenient for Su Qing to take advantage of the situation, but that's a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.
However, Su Qing couldn't say it in front of her family. If it got out, her plan would be ruined.
When Lu Xingchen returned to his residence, as soon as he saw Su Qing, he told her about the commune meeting in the afternoon.
"Do you know what's going on with the reservoir dam?" Su Qing asked.
"I know a little bit, that is, those cracks, high gravel content, cement sand, etc., are all artificial illusions, in order to set up a trap to frame you."
"Frame me, what's your motive?"
"Su Hang didn't tell you?"
"say what?"
"You, don't show your money to others. Su Daniu wants to extort money from you to pay off his gambling debts."
At this time, Su Qing woke up from her dream.
No wonder Su Daniu's evasive eyes seemed strange the last time I went to the village secretary's house.
"You're just going to give away the betrothal gift I gave you like this?" Lu Xingchen pretended to be very angry.
"I'll just treat it as a loan," he thought for a moment, then felt something was wrong, "Uncle Lu, didn't we agree that I can do whatever I want with the money you gave me?"
"Okay, I wanted to tease you, look how nervous you are!" Lu Xingchen changed from serious to naughty, he was simply a funny guy.
It was rare that Lu Xingchen was at home at noon, and this newlywed home finally felt like home.
Su Qing cooked three dishes herself: braised eggplant with salted fish, stir-fried green beans and olives, and a dish of pan-fried Ruihe dried fish.
After having the most delicious meal since moving into the wedding house, Su Qing felt like she had a home and a way to live her life.
"Why are your cooking so delicious?" Lu Xingchen scraped the leftovers from three plates into the bowl, burped and said.
This is really not an exaggeration. In her previous life, Su Qing did many jobs in order to start her own business. She practiced judo, worked as a fitness coach, and even ran a restaurant for several years. A few simple dishes like these are not difficult for her at all.
Clean up the dishes, tables and chairs and take a short rest.
The two of them went to the commune to attend the meeting together.
At the gate of the commune, Su Qing saw Li Guobiao standing there from afar.
Seeing Su Qing, Li Guobiao pulled her aside, handed her an envelope, and whispered mysteriously: "Su Qing, this must be a love letter written by Lu Xingchen's underground lover. Don't be too grateful to me."
Su Qing took the letter impatiently.
Li Guobiao ran away as soon as he handed over the letter.
The address on the envelope caught Su Qing's attention.
County Party Committee Office, isn’t this Ru Mengyun’s workplace?
Is it really a love letter?
The meeting was about to begin, and Su Qing followed the crowd into the venue.
It's not very convenient to open the letters in such a crowded place.
Su Qing just sat down.
Su Guozhong began to speak on the rostrum, "Please be quiet. Before the meeting begins, I am here to read out a disciplinary decision on behalf of the commune."
Su Guozhong cleared his throat and continued: "The decision on giving Lu Xingchen disciplinary punishment."
Everyone at the meeting pricked up their ears.
……
In view of Lu Xingchen's failure to participate in collective labor without reason and his disregard for organizational discipline, the commune has decided to give Lu Xingchen a demerit and expel him...
"Report!" Suddenly, a figure stood up in the middle of the meeting room and interrupted Su Guozhong's speech.
It was Su Qing. All the participants focused their eyes on her.
"Su Qing, what's wrong with you? Please sit down and don't disturb the order in the meeting room." Su Wangxing picked up the microphone and said.
Su Qing did not sit down. She left her seat, trotted all the way to the rostrum, and took the microphone from Su Wangxing's hand. "Comrades, this is a document from the county party committee office."
Then, he handed the letter to the village secretary and continued, "Now please ask Secretary Su Wangxing to read it to us."
It turned out that the village secretary was reading a transfer order, which was of course issued before the construction of the reservoir, but the receipt of the official document was a bit delayed.
This was a confidential registered letter, which circulated much faster than ordinary official documents. It was the "love letter" that Li Guobiao gave to Su Qing before the meeting.
Lu Xingchen was on secondment to work at the county committee, so the claim of absence without reason was completely false.
Secretary Su Wangxing of the village could only announce that the disciplinary decision against Lu Xingchen was invalid.
"Now, I am announcing a commendation."
The notice mainly praised those who made positive contributions to the emergency repair of the reservoir. The first person to be praised was Su Qing.
What’s different is that Su Qing also has a personal commendation order from the county government.
Amidst the applause from the venue, Su Qing walked to the podium.
When she received the certificate, thunderous applause broke out in the venue.
This is also her greatest achievement since her rebirth.
The heavy certificate in her hand told her that she still had a lot to do.
Su Qing firmly believes that she will lead her family to change their destiny, and flowers and applause will always be around in the days to come.
