A procession of gongs and drums attracted the attention of passers-by, those in ox carts poked their heads out to look, those walking stopped to take a closer look, and even the members of the community who were not far away from the field also took a few more looks.

Everyone's attention was on the red display board at the front of the advancing procession, and some passers-by read it out while watching, "Warm congratulations to Comrade Zhou Jiao on his first-class meritorious service......

The group walked to the entrance of Zhangjiacun Village and entered directly to the left without hesitation.

This made the team members surnamed Zhou who rushed to the side of the road to hear the news have a bitter face. Zhou Jiao is a child of their Zhoujia Village! But no one dared to say this.

The old captain is leading the members of the team to be busy, looking at the yellow ears of wheat, and they are happy. Seeing the faint sound of gongs and drums, he didn't care.

It's about to be busy with farming, the harvest of the year is just around the corner, what is more important than a bumper harvest to fill his stomach in Zhangjia Village?

"Third grandfather, come quickly, come to our village......"

When the old captain heard this, he looked at his nephew's little baby panting and bending over to support his knees, frowning, this baby's physical strength was so poor that he couldn't even say a word.

"Third grandfather, come on, a big happy event, go to our village to beat gongs and drums."

"Oh, I'll do it." A little baby jumped on her little feet and shouted loudly, "Little Aunt Wu has made meritorious contributions, and a group of people have come to the commune to beat gongs and drums to announce the good news." ”

At this moment, there was no need to ask, the old captain ran away after hearing this, and ordered in a loud voice, "Keep working, don't run around." ”

But who listens?

As soon as Uncle Zhang heard that his niece and daughter-in-law had made meritorious contributions, even if he was suspicious, he ran with the old captain, "What's the matter?" Why didn't you move beforehand? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

The members who were close to the club saw that the two captains had all run away, and they all put down their work and looked at Xiao Dashi, the accountant on the side.

There was still some confusion and asked the people around him: "Who is the little fifth aunt?" ”

"By the way, wait......"

"This dead baby can't say it clearly."

"Isn't it Xiao Wu's mother-in-law? These children all call her Aunt Xiaowu. ”

“……”

Xiao Dashi saw that even the villagers who were working on the dry land in front of him had all put down their jobs and ran over, crying and laughing. He also wants to go over and see what's going on, okay?

"It's Zhang's second family, right?" People are not talking about Zhang Guoqiang, but his father.

"It should be Xiao Wu's daughter-in-law, it won't be wrong."

"Let's go, this is a great event for our village."

"yes, let's see what's going on?"

"Stones, let's look at them and make up for them when we look back."

"Yes, you can't deduct points."

Xiao Dashi looked at the villagers who ran away and turned his head to order, and waved his hand helplessly. Come on, they're all gone, and he's going to see the excitement.

Over there, Dad Zhang really picked fruits in the backyard, and planned to pick some good ones to send to Zhao Chuanguang and Brother Zhao. I gave myself a lot of gifts to my old son last time.

This year, in addition to the ones that look bad, the ones that should be pickled and the ones that should be dried, the extra ones should be able to sell for a lot of money. Dad Zhang secretly wondered if the next few yards would be planted with wild fruits?

His old son is just smart, and sure enough, the fruit that grows well is worth more than the vegetables! It can be sold in the cellar for a month or two, but it is a lot of money.

He didn't know that his old son had already decided to cut down the tree.

Father Zhang, who was stuck in the ticket, heard his second child screaming in the yard, and looked up at the sky in surprise. The sun didn't come out of the west!

"Mother, a great event. Our family has made a great contribution. ”

"Isn't it meritorious? What about the twins. ”

Zhang Lao Er couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother, you don't understand." There was a commotion outside, and Jiaojiao really made a great contribution. My father, call my father back. ”

"What nonsense? Why don't I understand? Don't make a fuss, your dad works. ”

"I really didn't lie to you, people have already beaten gongs and drums to come here." Zhang Lao Er hurriedly ran to the backyard, "Dad, hurry up, people will be here soon." ”

"It's still frizzy when you're old. Say, what the hell is going on? ”

Zhang Lao Er took a hard breath: "It is said that Jiaojiao killed the enemy, and she has made a significant contribution to scientific and technological innovation." It's a first-class merit! Dad, it's a first-class merit. ”

Dad Zhang didn't hear the back, he heard the killing of the enemy, and he was so frightened that the bamboo pole in his hand fell to the ground and didn't notice it.

He asked suspiciously, "Your brother and sister haven't even killed chickens, so you can't be mistaken, right?" You said that I can still believe Xiao Wu's stupid boy, have you asked clearly? ”

Zhang Lao Er really didn't ask in detail, and when he got the news, he didn't even bother to inform his eldest brother and ran to the village.

He was not very sure and said, "Dad, probably not!" People are talking about Zhou Jiao, can this be wrong? Didn't Jiaojiao go to the south for an internship last year? ”

Mother Zhang slapped her thigh: "It's our Jiaojiao, that's right!" Once, the Yi family kid was there to blow a few of them to catch the enemy, and later when he saw me, he diverted the conversation. I also asked Xiao Wu about this, and he said that he did not go to the south for an internship. Now that I think about it, he didn't go, but we Jiaojiao went. ”

Father Zhang didn't care about laughing at his wife, who was fooled by his old son. Now, I have to come with one hand first, I looked down at the patched clothes on my body, and I was about to raise my feet to change, when I suddenly moved.

He didn't pat the dust on his body, wiped his hands with a cloth, and said, "Child, don't change your clothes, let's just pick up people." ”

A lifelong husband and wife, how can Zhang's mother not understand the meaning of her wife? She said distressedly: "It's a pity, my pants with two holes were given to my sister-in-law." ”

Yes! In order to make it easier to clean up the kitchen, Zhang's mother changed her old clothes as soon as she arrived in the village, but her pants were not changed, and there was not a single patch.

The sound of gongs and drums gradually approached, and when Dad Zhang walked out of the door, he saw the old captain and his eldest brother walking home with several cadres in the county, the secretary of the commune, and a strange middle-aged cadre.

You ask him how he knows it's a cadre? Just kidding, I didn't look at the four pockets of others, and there was a pen inserted. In Zhang's father's eyes, this must be a provincial capital.

- There are few cadres in the county that he doesn't know!

"This is Zhang Guoqing, his father, Zhang Dayou, Comrade Zhou Jiao, and her father-in-law." Li Qinglin and his father Lin Aiguo introduced the two sides, "Brother Zhang, this is Comrade Xue Jianshe in the province. ”

After listening to County Magistrate Li's words, Zhang Yuntao and his father Zhang Zhifeng and Zuo Lin glanced at each other, lowered their heads and smiled. This introduction is really good for County Magistrate Li to play!

Except for Xue Jianjian, the rest of the people knew each other, exchanged a few words of greeting, and surrounded Zhou Jiaoli's first-class merits, and all kinds of praise made Zhang's mother smile so much that her mouth couldn't close together.

Send these leading cadres away, and the lintel of Zhangjia shines for a while!

The festive atmosphere made the village look particularly lively, and the villagers gathered around the red display boards and pennants of the first class, and no one cared about the small pieces of the enamel cups.

The old captain stood at the front, hesitated, he looked at Dad Zhang, "Second brother, how about this ancestral hall?" ”

Father Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought that the award medal was still in his house, so he smiled and nodded.

"Do you think you want to send a letter to Xiao Wu and ask him to take a photo of the award certificate and medal and send it over? I set up an ancestral hall to set an example for the children and grandchildren of our old Zhang family. ”

Fortunately, it was a photo, otherwise Dad Zhang would rather leave the clan than be unwilling. He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "These are all right, but will they be a little exaggerated?" ”

"You ask if you're exaggerating? It's a great event. In the past, Linxian got a second-class merit, right? They had three days of flowing water mats in that village. ”

Seeing that everyone was shouting for joy, Dad Zhang could only accept it helplessly. From the photo of the old son and the old man of the chairman, it was placed in the ancestral hall, as if the old captain was eyeing his own house.

I knew that there was such a big joy today, and he and his wife might as well stay in the county yard. He also wants to put a pennant at home, okay?
