December 27th, the 25th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, is the day for collecting wealth, laying beds, and offering sacrifices!
Early in the morning, the members of Babaoliang Village were awakened by the sound of a loudspeaker: "Attention village members and educated youth comrades, there will be a commendation meeting today. Young people should go to the brigade headquarters early to help. Everyone else Bring dishes and chopsticks with you when you come, and don’t start a party at home, the production team is in charge of the food today!”
"Community members and educated youth comrades in the village, please pay attention..."
Under the repeated bombardment of loudspeakers, people in the village got up one after another!
By the time Zhou Yang got up, it was already 7:30!
At this time, Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong had filled up the water tanks at home and even heated up breakfast.
I have to say that although it is somewhat inconvenient for these two people to live in Zhou Yang's house, it also saves Zhou Yang a lot of things!
Take water carrying as an example, it has always been a headache for Zhou Yang.
The well in the village is not close to his house. One tank of water requires three loads, or six buckets of water.
Therefore, before Fan Debiao and others came, Zhou Yanglai did all these things, but now he is no longer needed.
After washing up and taking a simple bite, Zhou Yang took Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong to the brigade headquarters!
As for Li Youwei, Zhou Yang asked her to take her mother there later. It was useless to look for her. After all, the commendation meeting would not start until ten o'clock!
After arriving at the brigade headquarters, a lot of people had gathered here, including men and women, all young and middle-aged!
Although everyone started busy preparing for this commendation meeting yesterday afternoon, most of the things have been prepared, but there are some things that need to be done today, such as lighting the stove, setting up the pot, cooking, etc.
Fortunately, the task distribution was made yesterday, and everyone knows who does what.
So after the people had almost arrived, my father-in-law Li Fengnian waved his hand and asked everyone to get busy according to the tasks assigned yesterday.
Soon, all the old and young men in Babaoliang Village became busy. They were busy lighting the stove and cooking.
What Zhou Yang and others didn't know was that just as they were busy preparing to hold a commendation meeting, a convoy of five cars was rushing to Yunshan on the road from Ning City to Yunshan County. county seat.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the stove in the large warehouse that served as the temporary venue had been burning for several hours, and the temperature inside had also risen.
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Yang called out to the men, women, and children in the village to come in.
Although today's commendation was for the educated youth who participated in labor, all the villagers came.
From the old man and old woman with all their teeth missing to the little baby in swaddling clothes, no one is left behind.
Soon, except for a dozen lesbians who were busy in the kitchen, all the others entered the venue of the commendation meeting.
Due to the limited space, there were no tables and chairs arranged for the members except for a few simple long desks and stools on the rostrum.
However, everyone is asked to bring their home fire benches or small mats when they come, but they are not allowed to bring big stools.
There is no way, after all, this is a small group of 400 people. If everyone comes with a big stool, they may not be able to sit down.
At half past ten, the commendation meeting and dividend sharing meeting for Babaoliang Village members and educated youths officially began!
At the beginning of the conference, Li Fengnian, the brigade secretary, made a report on behalf of the cadres of the two production teams.
Although this is just a commendation team within Babaoliang Village, it has a detailed process.
Of course, these procedures were naturally formulated by Zhou Yang. He is a serious person. Either he should not spend so much energy on this matter. If he wants to do it, he should do it in a decent way.
All in all, you can copy the gourd and draw the scoop, but you can't draw the tiger and become the anti-dog!
Ever since, the commendation meeting kicked off with the annual report of Babaoliang Village.
The report made by Li Fengnian is actually very simple. There are not so many high-sounding principles and official clichés, only real data.
The purpose is not to publicize achievements, but to report last year's grain harvest and cash income to the village's members and educated youth, and to talk about the village's expenses.
After all, this year is indeed an extraordinary year for Babaoliang Village. First, a large-scale pig farm and feed mill were built, as well as a biogas digester and free electric lights. Now the village also has There were cattle, sheep, mules and horses, and all these big guys were watching.
But this alone is not enough. Both Zhou Yang and Li Fengnian and others understand that the more this happens, the more it is necessary to clarify the village's accounts so that the villagers know how much income and expenses are.
Only in this way will no one gossip!
Although the report made by Li Fengnian is relatively simple, the organization is very clear, allowing the villagers to clearly know how much they have done this year and how much money they have earned!
"...According to statistics, last year our two production teams in Babaoliang Village produced a total of 753,650 kilograms of grain. This does not include vegetables, radish, cabbage and other vegetables. In addition, our village raises pigs, sells feed, sells livestock, etc. , income of 218,764 yuan in cash..."
When I heard that the village’s income last year was 210,000 yuan, the entire venue burst into warm applause!
Li Fengnian's report took more than half an hour to end. Although the report was not long, the educated youth members in the village were all excited and excited!
During the period, Li Fengnian was interrupted many times by warm applause from the members, and the atmosphere in the venue was lively!
After the report is completed, the commendation meeting follows the procedure!
Then, Zhou Yang walked onto the stage holding a stack of manuscript papers!
"Comrades, there is only one tail left in 1975. Looking back on this year, thanks to the hard work and joint efforts of all the educated youth members, our village has achieved impressive results in both food production and sideline income generation. Both The overall income of the production team is satisfactory. Therefore, I suggest that we all applaud ourselves, croak croak croak!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the venue burst into warm applause again, lasting for a long time!
After the applause paused, Zhou Yang continued: "During this year, all members of our village have made great efforts and a large number of achievements have emerged. So today we are holding a commendation meeting here to pay tribute to all those who have contributed to Babaoliang Village. Commend the members, educated youth and other outsiders who have made contributions!”
"Let me first announce the outstanding individuals of Babaoliang Village. They are: Li Jianjun, Li Guoqiang, Chen Fugui, Zhang Meiliang, Chen Guorong, Feng Liujin, Zhou Liangzhi... Now please invite the members whose names are read above to come to the stage to receive the award... "
However, as soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, he heard someone breaking open the door of the venue.
Immediately afterwards, Tan Shiqing was seen running in and said out of breath: "Zhou Zhiqing... hurry... hurry, someone is looking for..."
Zhou Yang immediately said: "Speak slowly, don't be anxious, what's going on!"
Tan Shiqing patted her chest and gasped: "There are many cars coming to the front yard of the brigade headquarters, saying they are here to find you!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang stood up immediately and asked his father-in-law to present awards to the members, while he hurried to the yard in front.
When Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong saw this, they immediately followed him!
