That night.
A women's meeting was held in the compound.
The meeting place was not a square conference room.
It's an unoccupied hut in the compound.
There is nothing inside, and when the sisters-in-law come over for meetings, they have to bring their own chairs and stools.
The house is small and there are many people.
Everyone is sitting close to each other, in rows.
At the beginning, everyone was a little nervous.
After all, the last time a women's conference was held was before the Chinese New Year last year. Xu Muhua also talked about the call from his superiors to "diligence and frugality."
With this call, each household ended up losing two kilograms of pork.
It really makes those who hear it sad and those who listen to it cry.
So as soon as they heard the words "convene a meeting", the sisters-in-law trembled and panicked, fearing that something bad would happen.
"Sister Ning, I didn't know you came late. Not to mention the two kilograms of pork, at most it's a little less oil and water to eat. Last time... you actually asked us to memorize an article. Oh my god, you really want to kill me. Dead."
"That's right! The total number of characters I know is only more than a hundred. I was given a piece of paper, which was densely packed with characters. It knows me, and I know it! I would rather work in the fields. I don’t miss these formal things either.”
"It seems that that time... Yang Rui was the only one who recited it."
When the sisters-in-law think of those "painful" past events, they all show bitter faces, which is called sadness.
Among them, Wang Chunxia looked the most embarrassed.
Although the other sisters-in-law are not highly educated, they all graduated from elementary school and know some writing.
Wang Chunxia is completely illiterate and cannot read a single real Chinese character.
During that time, she was so worried about memorizing articles that she lost weight.
It's not that she is afraid of making a fool of herself, but that she is afraid of holding back the men in her family.
So even though she was sitting on the stool now, she still felt uneasy.
Jiang Ning comforted him, "Sisters-in-law, don't worry. It's a good thing that we won't mention pork in the meeting today, and we won't have everyone memorize articles!"
Good thing? !
When the sisters-in-law heard this, they all pestered Jiang Ning to ask for specific details.
At this moment, Xu Muhua walked in.
She was not the only one who came, but also her husband and regimental instructor Liang Chengzhong.
Appearing here as Instructor Liang can be said to have added a lot of majesty and solemnity to this conference.
It is also enough to show that Xu Muhua attaches great importance to this conference.
Instructor Liang’s first words were.
"This is a women's conference. It's hard for me, a gay man, to say anything. You talk about yours, and I'm just here to listen and be a little note-taker."
That being said.
But the people listening didn’t think so.
The smiles on the faces of the sisters-in-law became polite and polite. They each pulled up their clothes, straightened their backs and sat upright.
I didn’t even dare to look around.
The host of the women's conference was Xu Muhua, but not long after the opening, she suddenly named Jiang Ning.
"Comrade Jiang Ning, the specific details will be explained to everyone as we discussed this afternoon."
Jiang Ning was suddenly called out and had to stand up.
Xu Muhua said loudly.
"Next, we invite Comrade Jiang Ning to speak!"
There was a slight silence between the sisters-in-law for a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards.
Wang Chunxia was the first to take the lead and start applauding.
Then the applause sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain, crackling.
Jiang Ning came to the front amid applause.
She was stared at by everyone, including Xu Muhua, who had placed high hopes on her.
Xu Muhua would not do such a thing for no reason.
She also had considerations in her heart.
On the one hand, Xu Muhua recognized Jiang Ning's abilities more and more after talking with Jiang Ning.
The sisters-in-law in the entire compound are all older than Jiang Ning and have more work experience than Jiang Ning.
But their vision and perspective on things are not as good as one-tenth of Jiang Ning's.
On the other hand, it was Xu Muhua's own age.
As she gets older, she becomes more and more unable to do many things.
But the whole compound cannot be without the person in charge.
It was also time for her to find a successor - Jiang Ning, who was her chosen candidate.
After Jiang Ning stood up, he stood under the only electric light in the room.
It was like a beam of light shining on Jiang Ning.
"After discussing with Sister Xu this afternoon, based on the current situation in the military camp, we plan to organize a sewing class in the compound..."
Jiang Ning is fair and pretty, yet gentle and tough.
He naturally attracts the attention of those around him.
Her voice spoke every detail calmly, making people listen carefully in spite of themselves.
Unknowingly, everyone forgot Jiang Ning's age, but recognized every word she said from the bottom of their hearts.
During this period.
Xu Muhua turned to look at Liang Chengzhong.
There was pride in her eyes.
As if saying silently, look at the person I picked, how outstanding he is!
This pride is reflected in another pair of eyes as deep as obsidian.
do not know when.
Outside the small room where the meeting was held, there was a tall and upright figure.
Qin Jiulie just stood outside the door and did not go in to interrupt the ongoing meeting.
He saw Jiang Ning surrounded by his sisters-in-law.
The sisters-in-law had many questions, and they threw them at Jiang Ning one after another. Jiang Ning was calm and always able to deal with them calmly.
"Sisters-in-law, don't worry, I will teach you how to use the sewing machine. When the time comes, we won't be able to learn it once, but we can learn it two or three times. Everyone must learn it!"
"After the specific shift schedule is set, the rules are dead, but people are alive. If the sisters-in-law have something to do temporarily, one can ask for leave, and the other can find someone to change the shift. At that time, we will arrange a recorder to solve it. of."
"The wages are paid! It's definitely not comparable to that of a factory. But, sisters-in-law, think about it. Firstly, our skills are definitely not as good as those of regular factory workers, and secondly, the place where we work is in our compound. . You don’t have to travel far, and you don’t have to commute to and from get off work in the wind and sun. It saves time and effort..."
At this time, Jiang Ning's body was no longer the light of an electric lamp, but the bright light emanating from her body.
Qin Jiulie's eyes stared silently.
Behind him, there was another person standing on tiptoes, stretching his neck and looking around.
Gao Fang, who came with Qin Jiulie, couldn't help but sigh.
"Qin Tuan, sister-in-law...sister-in-law still has this side?! If I were surrounded by such a group of women, I would have grown up two years ago. How could I think of so many things and explain everything clearly? .It’s really amazing.”
When Qin Jiulie heard this, his thin lips raised a beautiful curve.
He was full of arrogance and hummed softly.
"Huh, don't even look at who that is. My wife is of course the best."
