"It's coming!!"

The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village heard the sound of the gong and saw the car appear, and their faces were full of excitement.

Today's lunar month is the twenty-fifth, and the whole village, young and old, put down the matter of preparing New Year's goods, and all ran over to see the excitement and help greet it.

The convoy turned a corner, the line of sight was broad, and Dong Guofeng, who was sitting in the lead car, naturally saw a group of people greeting him at the entrance of the village, and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Chen's family is ready today."

On the way over just now, they also discussed Chen Ming with each other, and there was no doubt that the final unanimous conclusion was highly praised.

Although Chen Ming is not a particularly dazzling scientific research elite, he can at least be called an outstanding hero from an ordinary family.

For more than two years.

Third-class merit, second-class merit, and first-class merit were sent home in turn, and no one in the history of Wei County had ever won such an honor.

The reason why the state and the army arranged the work of delivering good news actually came from the war years of those years.

The good news is delivered to the home, which can enhance the high morale of the soldiers to fight bravely and kill the enemy, and has a great encouraging effect.

And the country will not treat every soldier badly, and will never let the hero shed blood and tears.

In modern times, this job has become more standardized, from sending honors, to condolence ceremonies, to the implementation of treatment.

The convoy moved forward slowly, the sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, and due to the number of good news, the villagers of Yanziying Village had a lot of vision.

A middle-aged woman standing in the back, watching the convoy getting closer and closer, wondered, "Huh? Didn't you say that the Chen family baby got a first-class merit this time? ”

"Last time, there were more than 20 cars for the second-class merit, and only a dozen cars came for the first-class merit this time? It's too shabby, isn't it? ”

A young man next to him heard the middle-aged woman's whisper, and retorted speechlessly: "Auntie, you can't count it like that, the last time I came to the car, there were many motorcycles with law enforcement teams, and more than a dozen military jeeps, which looked luxurious, but they were just lively, but they had no influence." ”

"Look at this time, the two cars at the front of the convoy, the county management department, the city management department, and the road administration, civil affairs, law enforcement, and land in the back are all units of the management department."

"That's all we can see, people from the city's management department, maybe people from the judicial, personnel, agricultural, water conservancy, and electric power units in the minibuses will come over."

"After all, the leaders have moved, how can the people below not follow, if this team is in terms of luxury, it is far stronger than the last time."

"Tut-tut!! The Chen family really raised two good children, one worked in the county unit, and the other got ahead in the army, which is really amazing. ”

"Who says it's not, look at my family, I don't read all day, I don't do housework, I'm almost twenty years old, I know how to play games, huh? I don't know where to hide. ”

"Hey, this person's life has long been doomed, we don't have the blessing of the old Chen family, there is no way."

The whispering voice in the crowd was heard by Chen Ying, who pursed her lips extremely unhappily, and looked at her cousin in military uniform at the front, even more angry.

The brother she admired the most since she was a child is completely suppressed by this cousin today.

In the greeting team, Chen Ming stood at the front, and Chen Kaifei was arranged by the elders at the back.

The convoy drove to a stop in a clearing not far from the entrance of the village.

Dong Guofeng, who was also wearing a military uniform, was the first to get out of the car, followed by Song Yongxing, the president of the Weixian County Management Department, who was wearing a gray jacket.

Zhao Jiye, vice president of Pengcheng's management department, and Cui Peiyang, both of whom got out of the car in black cotton clothes.

In order to welcome the meritorious service team this time, the people of Yanziying Village attached great importance to it, and the entrance of the village was cleaned up, even if the dry firewood and stones and other garbage on the side of the rice fields were cleaned up.

Several leaders got into the car, looking at the new look of the village, and showed appreciation.

In the rear, in the minibus, people from various units of the management department got off one after another, there were forty or fifty people, plus the staff of Weixian TV Station, Pengcheng TV Station, and Ludao TV Station got off the bus respectively, and the black crowd made the village look more lively.

Later, Chai Shujiao of the Theater Propaganda Department, Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the 169th Composite Brigade, Du Longfei, commander of the 5th Synthetic Battalion, instructor Zhang Jintao, and six staff members of the county armed forces department took down Huang Chengcheng's gong from the car, as well as the banners that were folded up to be opened, and the plaques that were ready.

Even if Chen Ming and the others greeted them dozens of meters away, what should be done was still indispensable, and the people from the TV station carried the camera to record the video.

Dong Guofeng beckoned to the back and motioned for them to start.

The staff of the Ministry of Armed Forces received the order, nodded, and went about their duties, two of them unfurled bright red banners and held them high in their hands.

The brand-new banner reads: Warm congratulations to Comrade Chen Ming on his personal first-class meritorious service, with gold characters on a red background, which is particularly eye-catching.

Two other people picked up the gong and began to beat it, and the festive and loud gong sound resounded in all directions.

Later, the staff of the Armed Forces Department carried the plaque of "Home of First-Class Meritorious Heroes", adjusted their positions, and walked past the front of the major television stations.

If it is said that when the convoy has not yet entered the village, Chen Ming can stand there and watch the excitement as an outsider, but the plaques and banners came out and saw his name printed on them.

Rao is a little moved with his determination, a banner, a plaque, carrying the hard work and selfless dedication of the soldiers, but also embodies the strong support and silent dedication of the military families.

These are not without purpose.

It was he who exchanged sweat and courage for it.

When he saw everyone getting out of the car, the plaque was raised, the banner was raised above their heads, and the team was about to move, Chen Ming walked a few steps briskly, came to Dong Guofeng, and Song Yongxing stood still and saluted.

"Good leader, good leader."

Since Dong Guofeng had already seen him yesterday, he was not surprised, but he returned the gift with a faint smile and introduced: "He is Chen Ming, who has just returned from the disaster relief in Wugai Mountain."

"Oh?!!"

The president of the management department, the two vice presidents of the city saw Chen Ming for the first time, and stared at him for a long time, Chen Ming gave them the impression of being young and resolute, and the whole person stood in front of him, and his body was like a javelin nailed to the ground.

At first glance, he is a good boy in the army.

Song Yongxing looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, it's a hero who comes out of a young man, the glorious lintel, not bad."

Zhao Jiye, vice president of Pengcheng's management department, pinched Chen Ming's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, I didn't expect that our Pengcheng also had a proud son in the army, Comrade Chen Ming, on behalf of the people of Pengcheng, congratulations on winning the first-class personal merit."

"Thank you also for being at the rescue site of Wugai Mountain when you need it most, and I don't hide that I am from Ludao, and this disaster has always touched my heart, and I thank you for the people in the disaster area."

"The leader is polite, this is what I should do." Chen Ming responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

This welcoming scene was broadcast on the Internet by major TV stations through live broadcasts.

Of course, this is also the requirement above.

Chen Ming received, and other members of the Chen family also ran over, scattering smoke and helping, the scene was very lively.

After a brief greeting, Chen Ming ran back in advance to inform the greeting, and the leadership team walked in front and began to enter the village, with the villagers supporting both sides and running with the crowd.

When I didn't enter the village, I couldn't see anything, but when the team entered the village, they found that there were long tables outside the doors of every house, on which were placed candy, melon seeds, fruits, dried fruits, as well as hot water bottles, washed cups, tea leaves, etc., all of them were stunned.

Wei County sent good news, and it was not Chen Ming alone, but he was more frequent.

But after sending it so many times, he has never met such an enthusiastic villager, Song Yongxing walked on the road with emotion and quipped: "Coming here, I really feel like I am home."

"Well, it's no wonder that the village can come out, Chen Ming is such an excellent soldier, this village is indeed different, the villagers are very enthusiastic and united."

Maybe it was because they were too big, and few of them dared to come over to entertain, so they all ran to the back to entertain the crowd who followed to watch the excitement or beat gongs and drums.

Zhao Jiye was staring at the handwritten Spring Festival couplets posted by every household, and his expression became more and more surprised, because he also likes calligraphy and has a lot of research on calligraphy.

The so-called insiders look at the doorway, and the laymen look at the liveliness, and it is precisely because he likes calligraphy that he can better see these couplets, and the people who write them are not shallow.

He pulled Song Yongxing next to him and asked, "Old Song, are all the couplets in this village handwritten?"

"This calligraphy skill is OK, ask who wrote it, this year to our unit also change a batch, traditional culture should be preserved, you inquire who wrote, this year's procurement will not go to the purchase of those printed out, you want this kind of handwriting."

Song Yongxing knew that the leader in the city liked calligraphy, but ordinary skills could not enter the eyes of this leader, so seeing that he liked it, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Dong Guofeng.

"Lao Dong, you run here all day long, do you know who wrote the couplets of the Bangzi Camp?"

"If you know, we will purchase a batch of handwritten Spring Festival couplets this year, which can also be used to supplement the villagers."

"Spring couplets?" Dong Guofeng shook his head, "When I came here yesterday, they all gathered here to write, I really don't know who wrote it, you can ask later, I didn't see it in a hurry yesterday, and today it's really good." ”

Several of them were at the front, and no one paid attention to the whispers.

The more Zhao Jiye walked, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he was happy, because he found that the Spring Festival couplets in this village were really distinctive, completely different from the printed ones, and the effect of writing them was also very different.

Just by looking at the couplet, you can know whose child has been admitted to college this year, who has added Ding, who has married a new daughter-in-law, and who has renovated a new home.

Just when he was shocked, Dong Guofeng brought even more shocking news.

That is the Spring Festival couplets of this year's Yanzi Camp, all written by Chen Ming, which can surprise Zhao Jiye, how can he say that he has been immersed in calligraphy for twenty or thirty years, and now he is not as good as a young man in his early twenties?

Fortunately, after Chen Ming said hello just now, he followed his father Chen Qianghe back in advance to arrange the reception.

Otherwise, according to Zhao Jiye's temperament, it is very likely that he will have a whim, and it is impossible for Chen Ming to write a pair on the spot.

Since Chen Ming is not there, this is a small episode.

The team of meritorious servants continued to move forward and soon came to the door of Chen Ming's house.
