Chapter 548 Reward
Gao Guilan raised her head and accompanied her daughter in high spirits. Secretary Du kept talking but never got to the point. He praised Xinyue a lot because he was afraid that Xinyue would want a reward, right?
She asked loudly while Secretary Du was drinking tea because his mouth was dry. Secretary Du just took a sip of water and sprayed it out, choking and coughing.
He glared at Gao Guilan angrily and lectured her in a low voice: "Gao Guilan, why don't you have any style at all? It is such an honor for the commune to give your daughter red flowers, and you still want a reward? It's too petty."
"Secretary Du, can red flowers be eaten as food? If they can, I will give you these red flowers, and I will want food. I am not conscious and I am hungry."
Gao Guilan rolled her eyes. She didn't agree with Secretary Du, but wanted benefits.
It was hard to reason with the old woman, so Secretary Du waved Zheng Dagui to ask him dissatisfiedly.
"Zheng Da Kui, don't you want a reward?"
"Secretary Du, you don't have to scold Da Kui. I don't want his reward, but Xinyue's. I heard that other communes found grain and handed it over to the government, and they got a lot of rewards."
Gao Guilan rolled her eyes. The leaders of the county grain bureau were also there. This was a good opportunity to ask for grain. Don't try to change the subject.
"Haha, Zheng Xinyue, what do you mean? Do you want a reward or an honor?"
Leader Zhang of the grain bureau stood up and laughed. He stared at Zheng Xinyue without asking Gao Guilan.
The little girl didn't have so many thoughts and was easier to coax.
Once the big truth was said, it could basically be solved. Who knew that Zheng Xinyue smiled and said.
"Leader, Secretary, I listen to my mother~."
The smile on Leader Zhang's face froze. In fact, when he came, the leaders above said that Zheng Xinyue, who found the grain, could be given a certain reward.
You know, the thousands of kilograms of grain found by Zheng Xinyue are so good that they can be kept as seeds, which is a hundred times better than the seeds they have in stock.
Although the leader said that Zheng Xinyue would be rewarded, he didn't want to give it. He could report it in the name of this girl and get the grain himself.
Under the stage, there were villagers from five brigades, including Zheng Xinyue's former mother-in-law Jiang Cailian. She was now starving like a walking skeleton. In the past, Zheng Xinyue's family subsidized the grain, and her son earned a salary to buy bargain grain. At that time, she had enough food and clothing, and she lived a comfortable life!
But after Zheng Xinyue and Zhang Hongbin divorced, life became more and more difficult. The house was demolished by the Zheng family, and she could only ask the village chief for a barn to live in. The barn was leaky, and she had to sleep every day smelling the feces and urine of the animals.
After her son was arrested and sentenced, the monthly income was naturally gone. Without the help from Zheng Xinyue's family, the grain tank was empty, and the poor mice in the family didn't even come to the door.
She was so hungry that she even picked elm leaves to eat. Now everything she saw looked like food. She had no other thoughts in her mind except to have a full meal, even if she died after eating.
Seeing Zheng Xinyue standing on the stage with red and flowers, being praised by the meeting and given rewards, she looked at Zheng Xinyue with sparkling eyes, and hatred had long been forgotten. She just wanted to take her home, and move all the rewards she got today to Zhang's house.
"Mom, I didn't see Xiuqin."
Li Xiuqin's two sisters-in-law bent over and sneaked to her mother-in-law Cui Dani, reporting in a low voice that they got an advantage last time, and the family was blaming the sister-in-law. She promised to steal food to subsidize her family if she had the chance.
Taking advantage of the commune meeting, Cui Dani sent them to ask Li Xiuqin to confirm whether she could steal food on the day?
