Six o'clock sharp.
The educated youth kicked off the literary and art reporting work with a majestic rendition of "The Sea Sails Depends on the Helmsman".
They sang two red songs one after another to warm up the whole scene. Then Dong Lijuan and other art scholars presented "The Story of the Red Lantern". The exciting story made the members dare not blink.
"Red Lantern" selected a few of these moments and performed them for more than 20 minutes. When Tiemei, played by Dong Lijuan, handed over the secret code to the guerrilla leader, the members celebrated their victory with the "soldiers" on the stage.
The atmosphere reached a climax, and the next program was the sketch "Neighbors and Family".
This sketch tells the story of a Hehua who was abandoned by her husband because she could not give birth to a child. She was criticized at first, especially by her bad neighbors who often bullied her. But she turned around her reputation with her hard-working and warm-hearted character, and was eventually commended as an advanced individual.
Lin Meiru is the bad neighbor, Mrs. Zhu plays the poor mother, and Widow Liu plays her true character with a grimace on her face.
The kinder the lotus is, the more hateful the bad neighbor looks.
Some elderly women wiped away their tears and said, "It's so miserable for Lotus because she can't give birth to a son. She has to do laundry when it's freezing in the winter. Her husband's family doesn't provide food and they eat turf every day."
"He Hua's third aunt is so disgusting. He Hua is obviously having a hard time, and she goes around saying bad things about her."
…
At first, everyone hated the third aunt played by Lin Meiru and wanted to rush on stage and beat her up for Hehua. But later, He Hua accidentally fell down and it was the third aunt who carried her to the hospital and paid the medical bills in advance. Only then did everyone realize that the third aunt was cold-hearted and soft-hearted.
The biggest plot twist in the whole drama is that the doctor told Hehua that it was not her problem, but the man's illness that prevented him from having a child.
There was an uproar everywhere.
It turns out that being unable to have children is also a problem for men, which completely refreshes their understanding. When the skit was over, the members were still talking about it and discussing it non-stop.
No one expected that the commune health center would be overcrowded for several days in a row, with a group of elderly men covering their faces secretly visiting the doctor.
However, these gossips did not stir up any excitement. Important events happened in Hongqi Commune, and their commune was published in both the provincial and city newspapers!
The newspaper had just been printed, and the captains of the brigade showed off their talents. It was a big honor for anyone to buy the newspaper, and then read it to the members through a loudspeaker. Finally, they did not forget to publicize the content of the two-day study lecture. Urge everyone to make progress.
Public security law popularization is very practical and the members accept it the most. The content and values promoted by the marriage law were boycotted by the old pedants in the village.
Among them, most of the strongest opponents are women. They hold high the banner of "Mother-in-law is greater than heaven, parents order a matchmaker, and when you marry, you must regard your husband as heaven, and daughters are losers..." and do not want or allow others to do so. Women make changes.
For the first time, new ideas and old ideas were confronting each other. In just half a month, there were many fights and fights, and some people were even sent to the hospital.
The commune leaders attached great importance to this and quickly held a meeting.
Chen Xingtong said earnestly: "Xiao Jiang, reform is a good thing, but it seems that the method is still a bit too radical at present. The purpose of this meeting today is to discuss what we should do together?"
"Whoever caused the trouble will take care of it." Officer Zhang finally caught Jiang Anan's pigtails and gloated in the corner.
Officer Xiao Gao secretly tugged on his sleeve to signal him not to add insult to injury.
Unexpectedly, his good intentions were misunderstood. Officer Zhang raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I wrong? She enjoyed the fame, wealth and benefits, but ended up asking us to wipe her ass. Which of the commune officials present doesn't go to the countryside every day? I wonder if they thought we were here. I’m working for the Women’s Federation.”
The other officers were also filled with anger, and their faces turned darker than the others. The people below are not cooperating, and the work has been difficult recently. The worst thing is that they are scolded, and even their grandparents complain when they get home.
Secretary Yang raised his hand to his lips and coughed: "Everyone has worked hard recently, and the director and I have seen it. However, the marriage law is recognized by the county, and we cannot shrink back when encountering difficulties. The greater the suffering, the more Explain the need for reform.”
Officer Zhang was tired of hearing these high-sounding words and said coldly: "The attitude of the people below is bad. Secretary Yang should just come up with practical and effective methods."
The conference room fell silent.
Chen Xingtong's eyes darkened, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Who are you talking to, you little turtle?"
It took a lot of effort for him to develop a weak revolutionary friendship with Secretary Yang and maintain peace, but it would most likely be ruined by this stupid young man.
Officer Xiao Zhang was as stubborn as a donkey, and he was even more clueless when he spoke: "Isn't it true that Secretary Yang is the boss of the commune, so he's not allowed to tell the truth?"
Chen Xingtong:......
Destroy it, there is no way to save it, let him cry if his position is transferred after the year!
Secretary Yang could hardly keep the smile on his face, but there was a solution. Before the meeting, he and Chen Xing shared their anger in advance. Originally, there was still some preparation, but I never thought that Director Zhang would be so aggressive, regardless of showing up and forcing him to speak.
He subconsciously looked at Jiang Anan.
Just from this glance, Jiang Anan still didn't understand something, so he took the initiative and said: "It is better to suspend the study activities first to avoid the bad development of the situation."
She saw the dilemma between the two leaders and had to make a choice. The study activities were guided by the Women's Federation, and the Women's Federation took the initiative to terminate them so as not to cause any gossip to the commune.
She understood the truth, but her heart was still heavy when facing the failure of the first reform.
After the words fell, Chen Xingtong and Secretary Yang were relieved and looked at her with more loving eyes.
Secretary Yang comforted him: "The Women's Federation has achieved good results this year. As long as we persevere and proceed step by step, one day the masses will understand and support us better."
The matter was decided.
The happiest person in the room was none other than Secretary Zhang. After the meeting, he didn’t have to go to the countryside to notify the various teams.
Director Xiao Gao had mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to remind the other party that he had been rejected by the two leaders. After all, as Director Chen's right-hand man, they have always been in a competitive relationship. Director Zhang was originally Director Chen's favorite successor...
After struggling for a moment, he selfishly concealed it and took the initiative to make friends with Jiang Anan: "I have various activities carried out by the commune over the years. Do you want to see them?"
This was the first time that a commune officer showed kindness to him. Jiang Anan readily agreed: "Okay, thank you very much."
After a long day's work, she endured her depression and felt physically and mentally exhausted. Unexpectedly, something bad happened just after she returned to the team.
Suddenly, an unkempt lady rushed out from the diagonal, grabbed her arm, pointed at her nose and yelled: "Damn girl, tell me clearly, how did my Qin family feel sorry for you, so that I made things difficult for us everywhere?"
