)

At this time, the people of Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang are really only envious.

When they pass by the entrance of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound and see how lively it is, they will stop their cars and take a look inside.

Especially when they saw the good news written on a whole piece of red paper on the bulletin board at the entrance of Caojiazhuang Village Committee, and when they saw the names of the five people who were admitted to college, the people of the two villages were thinking about the ability of the leaders of their village committees.

You can't just follow Caojiazhuang's example and post a good news, write his children's names on a big-character poster and post it in a conspicuous place in the village. It doesn't matter if you don't give other rewards.

But it is quite difficult to achieve such a small requirement.

In such a comparison, whether it is Taodong Village or Zhujiazhuang, there is a huge gap between them and Caojiazhuang.

There is still a long way to go, and they feel that they are thinking too much.

As rumored in private, unless Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang are merged into Caojiazhuang one day, by then, they might also be able to enjoy the benefits of Caojiazhuang.

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar voice came from the loudspeaker in the courtyard of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee. The onlookers at the door knew that it was the voice of Cao Shujie, the director of Caojiazhuang Village.

The people watching at the door also consciously lowered their voices during the discussion, for fear of disturbing the speech inside.

"Dear young and old men in Caojiazhuang, I am Cao Shujie. I am standing here today. I am very excited and proud. I am even more proud of our good son in Caojiazhuang."

"I have the audacity to say a few words here. Since last year, Caojiazhuang, under the leadership of the new leadership team of the two village committees represented by Secretary Cao Jianlong, has been working hard and developing steadily."

"Caojiazhuang has made great progress in terms of economy, pensions, elderly care, schooling, and sustainable development. This is the result of the joint efforts of the two committees of Caojiazhuang Village and all the people. Here, let us first be proud of what we have achieved.

Applause for the achievement!”

As soon as Cao Shujie finished speaking, the people sitting in the audience started to applaud cooperatively.

Then a burst of good-natured laughter came.

Cao Jianlong and the other four people standing behind Cao Shujie all looked at each other with helpless smiles on their faces.

Cao Shujie had just praised him once, but Cao Jianlong felt very ashamed at this time.

Cao Shujie has just been emphasizing that Caojiazhuang developed under his leadership, but only Cao Jianlong himself knows that without Cao Shujie, Caojiazhuang would still be the same bear as before, and there would be no change of more than ten centimeters. He is just a ball.

But what Shujie said is really good!

Indeed, as he said, Caojiazhuang now provides pensions to veteran soldiers and special care to the elderly in the village.

Encourage the children in the village to study hard, focus on their studies and their future, both spiritually and materially.

Targeted measures have been taken for the village's economic development and its long-term sustainable development.

This point cannot be denied by any ordinary person in Caojiazhuang.

And unknowingly, the development of Cao Shujie's orchard attracted a lot of popularity, and also promoted the development of Caojiazhuang in retail consumption. I dare not say that the income of every household in Caojiazhuang has increased significantly, but as long as you are not lazy, many

Everyone’s income has increased significantly compared to before.

The people in the audience followed Cao Shujie's speech and recalled the changes in Caojiazhuang in the past two years.

Some things are subtle. They are usually used to it and may not notice any obvious changes.

But now when I look back and think about the living conditions at home last year, compared with the current life, many people silently shut their stubborn mouths.

They know that there are real changes in the family, and they are obvious.

From the most basic aspect, many people have better food, drink, and clothing than before.

Just like what Cao Jianhua once said to Cao Shujie, there are fewer people buying low-end cigarettes in the village now, and everyone has begun to buy high-end cigarettes.

Why does this change occur?

It's not because the living standards in the village have improved and people earn more money.

But one thing to say is that many people know in their hearts that it is not the money earned by their family's laborers who go out to work, but that there are really ways to increase their income in various aspects in the village.

Also because the family has more money, they are no longer as reluctant to spend on food and clothing as usual, and only dare to spend money on themselves during the holidays.

Under the stage, Cao Jianguo, his old father Cao Zhenghu, his wife Wang Yuelan, his daughter-in-law Cheng Xiaolin, and his granddaughter Mengmeng sat together. They looked at Cao Shujie talking eloquently on the high platform, and their hearts were filled with pride.

"Mom, dad is so handsome!" Mengmeng said.

Cheng Xiaolin squinted her eyes and nodded: "Mengmeng, you can't praise him, otherwise your father will be proud."

"I don't, dad is handsome." Mengmeng said this.

Cao Jianlin, who was sitting not far away from them, saw this scene and sighed with emotion: "Brother Jianguo, sister-in-law, you have given birth to a good son!"

He felt that if he had a son like Cao Shujie in his life, his death would be worth it.

Cao Jianguo was a little embarrassed by the praise: "Jianlin, don't say that. Shujie just did what he could."

Cao Jianlin disagreed. He shook his head and said, "Brother Jianguo, we all know in our hearts that what Shujie has done for our Caojiazhuang is far better than imagined."

Before they could reach a conclusion in their dispute, Cao Shujie on the stage continued: "The good news has been posted for three days. Everyone must know what's going on. Now let's get straight to the point."

"Next, we invite Cao Shuli, Gao Fei, Cao Shusheng, Cao Xinru and Cao Yuqing to come on stage."

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie added: "The music starts!"

A burst of lively music came from the loudspeaker in the village committee compound.

There was no such model in Caojiazhuang before, and no one had ever enjoyed this kind of treatment.

The moment the music started playing, their hearts followed the rhythm of the music, and they felt as if they were the ones on stage.

Cao Shuli and the other five people were standing backstage. When they heard Cao Shujie calling their names, the five of them began to get excited.

They had never received this kind of treatment when they were in school, but there were similar reward activities in school. At that time, they were just members of the crowd looking up at the stage.

Now it was their turn to take the stage. Although it was not a high stage in the school, they felt that the stage in the village was more important to them than the stage in the school.

This is to show your face in front of the folks, including their grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters.

Just thinking about it, they couldn't control their excitement.

"Okay, everyone, I seem to feel that our good boy can't wait any longer backstage. Next, let's invite them to the stage with even warmer applause. Do you think it's okay?"

As soon as Cao Shujie finished speaking, the people in the audience shouted loudly, followed by loud applause, and the atmosphere at the scene was unprecedentedly warm.

"Cao Shuli, let's go on stage, you should hurry up."

Gao Fei stood behind Cao Shuli, he couldn't wait any longer.

Cao Shuli turned around and rolled her eyes at him: "How about I make room for you and you come first?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Fei giggled: "Forget it, I'm a timid person. I'm the first one to go up, so I'm more nervous than you."

Cao Shusheng and the others behind them all laughed.

After a while, 5 people appeared in a long line on the high platform, and then lined up. They looked a little nervous. They clenched their hands for a while, then stretched them out, put them in their pockets, pinched them together again, lifted them up and put them down.

on the chest.

Cao Shujie noticed this detail, and he chatted with the five of them in a soft voice to relieve their tension.

He also said a few words from time to time, making the people present happy for a while, and the five people on the stage also laughed.

"Everyone may not know this. According to the information I got, although Cao Shuli went to No. 2 Middle School, she studied very diligently. When I took them to take the college entrance examination in the county, Cao Shuli said something to me, which has left a deep impression on me to this day.

."

"She said that I had already disappointed my father when I took the high school entrance examination. I must work hard to get a good reputation in the college entrance examination and never let him down again."

Having said this, Cao Shujie turned around and looked at Cao Jianlong who was standing against the wall: "Uncle Long, in this situation, don't you think you should personally put a big red flower on Sister Shuli's head?"

Cao Jianlong was stunned. There was no such link in the plan they had discussed in advance.

But this did not prevent him from being willing to do what Cao Shujie just said.

Someone came to the stage with a plate of big red flowers. Cao Jianlong picked up a big red flower from the plate and put it on his daughter's head with trembling hands.

"Lili, you did really well in the exam. Your father and mother are very satisfied this time. Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. No matter what happens in the future, just keep working hard." Cao Jianlong said.

This is what he and his wife thought about all night last night. He didn't go to bed until midnight and memorized this passage by force.

Cao Shuli smiled and squinted her eyes: "Dad, thank you!"

"Silly boy, you should say thank you to dad no matter what." After Cao Jianlong finished speaking, he looked at Cao Shujie at a loss, not knowing which step would come next.

But Cao Shujie did not let him go down, but continued to read the second name: "Gao Fei did very well in the exam this time. He applied for our local university in Yiling City. I once asked brother Gao Fei what he wanted to do after graduation.

, he said that after graduating from college, he would like to return to Caojiazhuang and contribute to the development of the village."

"To be honest, it's great that Brother Gao Fei has this intention, and I'm also very touched."

"But I still advise him not to rush back to Caojiazhuang to contribute after graduating from college. You can choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination or go outside to see the style of big cities and broaden your horizons. After you have accumulated enough knowledge and experience, you can return to Caojiazhuang. At that time

Brother Gao Fei may have accumulated the experience of being his own boss, wouldn't it be better to return to Caojiazhuang to contribute!"

Everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

What Cao Shujie said was rough and unreasonable.

And everyone present could hear that Cao Shujie was not just making excuses, but was sincerely thinking about Gao Fei.

After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he looked at the people sitting in the audience and shouted: "Uncle Weicheng, Brother Gao Fei did so well in the college entrance examination this time. I feel there is no need to say more words to praise him. Are you willing?"

Go on stage and personally put this big red flower on his head?"
