Amy blushed at Mingke's words, got up and pulled Niuniu and ran down the hill with a red face.

"Sister Xiaomi, are you shy?"

Niuniu blinked at her with clean eyes, making her angry even if she wanted to.

"You're still a child, don't follow them to learn badly, Mingke and I are just ordinary friends, just like you and the dogs in the literacy class."

Niu Niu nodded as if she didn't understand, and wanted to ask something, but Amy stuffed a mouthful of candy and completely quieted down.

No one asked, and Amy was relieved.

The educated youth in the village and the villagers with ideas are all preparing for the exam in full swing, and they even have something to memorize when they go to work.

The next day, Amy went to say hello to Yu Tongtong and said that she would let Niuniu follow the exam, but not participate in the selection of the propaganda team.

After Yu Tongtong learned that she wanted Niuniu to know what the exam was like, she agreed with a smile.

After all, Yu Tongtong is the captain of the propaganda team, and he is very happy to see the children in the village so studious.

After signing up, Amy took Niuniu to work in the field.

When it was time for dinner, a brigade of newspaper deliverers happily ran into the village with a letter.

"Good news, good news, the province has come to praise the letter!"

The villagers of Mao'er Village yearn for the city the most on weekdays, and in their eyes, the small county town above Mao'er Village is a paradise-like place, which can only be dreamed of by dreaming.

Therefore, for them in the province, they don't even dare to think about it.

However, now the province actually sent a letter of praise to their village, which made everyone excited and angry, and they followed the messenger to the door of the village party secretary's house to see the excitement.

"I heard that everyone in the province is a great person, why did they write a letter to our village?"

"Isn't it about the fertilizer before? I remember that the director of the fertilizer factory in Jiangcheng also sent a letter of commendation to me at that time. ”

"Where can it be the same, this is in the province, and hundreds of fertilizer factory directors can't compare."

"I think the dog is right, the old branch secretary said before, the factory director wants to write a letter to the boss, saying that he wants to apply for excellence or something for Mingke, maybe the letter from the province is because of this."

"No matter how capable Mingke is, he is also a bad element, how can he still perform in the province, I think it's almost for Xiaomi."

"No matter who it is for, anyway, it is the glory of our village, and it will definitely kill the next few villages."

Several villages of the Red Star Brigade are close to each other, and they usually love to be better than any village, so when she said this, that aunt was as angry as a big rooster who had won a battle.

Everyone chattered, and the young people began to itch in their hearts.

Now is the time for the propaganda team to select people, if anyone gets a letter of praise from the province, then they will have no chance at all.

They were worried about this, and so were Yu Tongtong and the rest of the propaganda team.

"If it is really one of the educated youths who want to participate in the selection to get this letter of commendation, we may only have to choose that person in the end."

Yu Tongtong listened to the words of her companion and felt very uncomfortable.

She didn't think about choosing someone in the first place, she just wanted to keep Zhou Yize by her side.

But things have developed to this point, and it is not something she can control casually.

If it really involves the province, they must follow the instructions from above.

Just kidding, even the province has specially written a letter of praise, isn't it possible to join the propaganda team?

At this time, Yu Tongtong could only pray that the letter of praise was written to Zhou Yize.

In everyone's memory, the village party secretary got the letter and saw the name on it clearly.

"It's Mingke......"

He immediately called someone to call Mingke, who was still working in the cowshed, down.

Ming Ke saw that there were so many people around here, and he knew in his heart, so he didn't show too much surprise.

The village party secretary carefully read the letter of praise in front of everyone, and his tone was full of pride.

Amy listened from the sidelines, and she was very happy for Mingke.

The general content of the letter was similar to the one from Jiang Cheng before, anyway, he praised Ming Ke well, saying that he was capable and contributed to the collective.

But Mingke knew that this letter was actually appeasing him.

Because the director of the factory said before that he wanted to get him an excellent commendation, after all, he repaired such a big machine and solved a big problem.

But it is estimated that it is still affected by his identity, and the commendation is not realistic, so the province simply gave such a letter of commendation.

After all, a letter of commendation is much simpler than a commendation, and it will not be too affected by Mingke's identity.

But it was such a letter of praise that made the whole village boil.

After reading the letter, he immediately announced to the villagers, "Xiao Ming has done so many good things for everyone, and now he has been praised by the province, which proves that his ideological realm is very high, and he is a good friend of our people."

So, I want to give the house in the east of the village to Xiao Ming to live in, what do you think? ”

The house in the east of the village is not small, and the location there is good, otherwise the son of the princess would not have chosen to repair the house there.

But then there were accidents one after another in Mrs. Wang's house, and the most prosperous family in the village was almost dead, leaving only an old woman and a half-old milk doll.

Therefore, although the people in the village did not say it, they were somewhat taboo in their hearts, and no matter how many houses were built in the future, they did not go there.

The house of the village party secretary is not big, it is also an adobe house, only one bedroom and one living room, and it also has a small kitchen for cooking.

The house used to belong to an old bachelor, but then when the people were gone, the house was vacant.

Someone in the village has tried to think of this house, but if the family has a little more population, the house is not enough to live in, and it is enough for a family of three to live.

Coupled with the opportunity to the east of the village, it is okay to come and go.

Thinking of this, Amy couldn't help but think of their house in Jiangcheng.

Although the houses in the village are just adobe houses that people in the city look down on, there are really many rooms, after all, most of the people in the village have a lot of children, and there is a large family living together, so it is not good to have fewer rooms.

This is also the advantage of repairing the house by yourself, as long as you have enough money in your hand, you can build as much as you want at this time.

The house had long been abandoned by the villagers, otherwise it would not have been empty until now.

Mingke has won the performance in the province, and they don't dare to say anything that he is not allowed to live, for fear of being detained as a high hat against the province, so they all raised their hands one by one to agree.

The village party secretary looked at the villagers below with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, then from today on, Xiao Ming will live in Lao Laizi's house, everyone will help each other in the future, continue to carry forward the good spirit of our village, and I can't be sorry for this performance in the province."

He said happily because he knew very well that although the letter was not praised by him, it would also have a great impact on him.

Perhaps, because of this letter, he will be elected the next time he elects the secretary of the brigade.

Thinking of this, the smile on the face of the village party secretary was even more real.

In the afternoon, he commanded people to help clean up the house in the east of the village, and that night Mingke moved from the cowshed with wind on all sides to the new house with a door and a bed.

His house was close to Mrs. Wang's house, and Mrs. Wang thought that he had helped Amy when he went to Jiangcheng before, and called him to his house for dinner at night.

"You just moved, you must be lacking everything and not cooking, so you will deal with a bowl here today."

In fact, there is a shortage of things in every family these days, and sometimes if a guest comes, you have to borrow dishes and chopsticks from someone else's house.

But Mrs. Wang felt that the people who helped Amy were good children, so she didn't feel sorry for the food, and even cooked big white rice at night.

Mingke didn't come empty-handed, and even brought a rabbit that was knocked unconscious.

"This is what I caught in the mountains before, and I have been secretly feeding and not willing to eat."

The mountains in Mao'er Village are relatively large, and from time to time there are people in the village who can catch some rabbits, so Mrs. Wang didn't ask much, and happily went to do the rabbits.

After a while, the smell of meat wafted through the room.

Amy hurriedly went to get the dishes and chopsticks, and served the rice first.

When she handed the meal to Mingke, Mingke's heartbeat missed a beat again.

He has been in Mao'er Village for many years, and has always been alone in the cowshed.

Eating is a person, doing things is a person, until Amy shows up.

Now, Mingke sits in a sheltered room, with steaming white rice in front of him, and the smell of saliva meat.

For a moment, he even felt in a trance that he was back to the happy home he once was.

This mood didn't stop until Mrs. Wang and Amy tried to eat meat for him.

There was rice and rabbit meat, and everyone had a great time eating the meal.

There were still people outside the door who smelled the fragrance and came over to ask what good things they were eating, but Mrs. Wang didn't hide it, and happily said that it was the rabbit brought by Mingke.

"Tsk, you are worthy of being praised by the province, you are so good, you can actually catch a rabbit.

The last time we caught a rabbit in our village was a few years ago, when the small army entered the mountains. ”

"No, Xiaojun was a good hand at that time."

Speaking of her son, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face became a lot thicker.

Mingke looked at the happy old man in the hot air, and his heart became warmer and warmer.

It was also at this time that a long-lost word popped up in his heart - home.

After a few people had eaten, Amy was called by Mrs. Wang to help Mingke clean up the new house.

She looked curiously at the house, where she had never entered, and noticed that the tiles on the walls and overhead had broken in several places because it had been uninhabited for so long.

There was no fire in the house, and it was very cold before night.

Even though it's summer and I'm not afraid of being cold, Amy still doesn't feel comfortable thinking about this is the new house where Mingke lives.

But now it's not early, there is no light and she can't see clearly, so she didn't rush to get these, but spread the quilt she covered on Mingke's bare kang.

Mingke's face turned red, and he asked incoherently, "You...... What are you doing? ”
