The team had plenty of members, and cooking was no easy task.
"Eat more then." As if eating could shut your mouth.
When will the wife’s admission notice arrive?
"When will it arrive?"
"Secretary, Educated Youth Yun is in Zhao Family Village Team, two hours away from our county town," the driver said to the county party secretary sitting behind him.
"There was a problem with the seeds earlier; how did their town handle it?" the county party secretary suddenly remembered this issue, having delegated it and then forgotten about it.
Now that autumn harvest has begun, he wondered how the rice yield would be this year?
He had seen the previous corn yield and knew this year’s would not catch up with last year’s.
The county town governed many towns, and the town above the Zhao Family Village Team, having had a major issue with the grain seeds, saw a reduced yield.
The secretary next to him responded to the question, "The town immediately sent people to buy grain seeds, but in the end, they couldn’t gather enough, so they asked the members to use last year’s harvested grain as seeds."
Zhao Family Village Team was bustling with the tasks of the autumn harvest.
When a sedan and several bicycles arrived at Zhao Family Village Team, the busy members all stopped.
Why had the vehicles come to their team?
Were they looking for the team leader?
"Team leader, team leader ...." someone sent a child to call for Captain Zhao.
As soon as the county party secretary got out of the car, he saw the rice in the fields bending the stalks heavily; it seemed Zhao Family Village was heading for a bumper harvest.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead and accompanied by town officials, the county party secretary had worn a tense face all the way to Zhao Family Village Team, and only when he arrived did he show a smile.
"Leader ...." Captain Zhao was hurriedly called over and saw the town officials, and he saw them showing great respect to the comrade leading the way.
"No need to be nervous; it seems your team’s rice is set for a bumper harvest," the leader reassured.
Seeing the older man compliment him.
"Today, I’m here for a different reason; someone from your team has become the top scholar."
Captain Zhao did not catch on yet.
"Educated Youth Yun Xiaoxiao is the province’s top scholar; where is Comrade Yun Xiaoxiao now?"
The provincial top scholar?
Captain Zhao finally understood.
That’s his daughter-in-law, isn’t it?
But hadn’t she failed the exam twice before?
And now, she had suddenly become top scholar.
"She’s in the team cafeteria; she cooks well, so I arranged for her to work in the kitchen," said Captain Zhao as he led the officials toward the team cafeteria.
"Did I hear ’top scholar’?"
"Who is the top scholar?"
"I think I heard it was Educated Youth Yun."
"Wasn’t it rumored that Educated Youth Yun had not passed?"
"That means first place."
"Educated Youth Yun is that impressive."
"Ah, I want to go see."
"The officials are here, do you dare to go look?"
In the team’s cafeteria, Yun Xiaoxiao was chopping vegetables, busily on her feet.
When the officials arrived, they immediately saw a young female comrade, busy at work.
"Comrade Yun Xiaoxiao ...."
Yun Xiaoxiao looked up and saw, saw a few unfamiliar men, and also saw her father-in-law giving her a deep glance.
Captain Zhao cleared his throat and began the introductions, "Educated Youth Yun, this is a leader from the county, and these are leaders from the town."
Yun Xiaoxiao greeted them level-headedly, "Hello, leaders, I am Yun Xiaoxiao; may I know the reason you are looking for me?"
