Vol 2 Chapter 799: Beat the gongs and drums to announce the good news

A team of gongs and drums attracted the attention of passers-by. The people in the bullock cart poked their heads out to look after, and the walkers stopped to take a closer look. Even the members who were not far away took a few more glances.
Everyone’s attention was on the red display board at the front of the advancing team. Some passers-by read as they watched, "Warm congratulations to Comrade Zhou Jiao for his first-class contribution..."
The group walked to the entrance of Zhangjiacun and entered directly to the left without hesitation.
This made the Zhou surnamed team members who came by the roadside a bitter face. Zhou Jiao is their child in Zhoujiacun! But no one dared to say this.
The old team leader is leading the members of the team to a busy day, looking at the yellow wheat ears, he is happy. Seeing the faint sound of gongs and drums, he didn't care.
Farming is about to be busy, and the harvest of a year is just around the corner. What is more important than a bumper harvest that fills his stomach in Zhangjiacun?
"Grandpa Santai, come on, coming to our village..."
The old captain heard the words and watched the little boy in his nephew's house bends over his knees with breathlessness, and frowned. The boy's physical strength was too bad and he couldn't even say a word.
"Grandpa San, come on, big happy event, go to our village to beat the drums."
"Oh, I'm coming." A little boy jumped his feet and shouted loudly, "Little Fifth Aunt has done meritorious service, and a group of people came to the commune to beat gongs and drums to announce the good news."
Without asking any more questions, the old captain ran away after hearing this, and said loudly, "Go on, don't run around."
But who listens?
When Uncle Zhang heard that his nephew and daughter-in-law had done meritorious service, even if he had doubts in his heart, he ran with the old captain, "What's the matter? Why didn't there be any movement in advance?"
"You ask me, who am I asking?"
The members who were close to each other saw that the two captains had all run away, and all put down their hands and looked at the accountant Xiao Dashi.
Some people were confused and asked, "Who is Xiaowu Auntie?"
"Right, wait..."
"This dead boy doesn't make it clear either."
"Is Xiao Wu his mother-in-law? All these children call her Xiao Wu aunt."
"..."
Xiao Dashi saw that even the villagers who were working on the dry land in front of him had all put down and ran over, not crying or laughing. He also wants to go over and see what's going on, okay?
"Is it Zhang Lao Er's family?" People were not talking about Zhang Guoqiang, but his father.
"It should be Xiaowu's wife. It's not wrong."
"Walk around, this is a happy event in our village."
"Yes, go and see what's going on?"
"Stones, we will make up for it when we look back."
"Yes, no work points can be deducted."
Xiao Dashi waved helplessly at the villagers who were running away and turned their heads to give orders. Come on, all ran away, he also went to see the excitement.
Over there, Father Zhang really picked fruits in the backyard, planning to pick some good-looking ones to give to Zhao Chuanguang's brother Zhao. Last time I entrusted myself to bring a lot of gifts to the old son.
This year, except for the ugly ones, the ones that should be pickled and dried, the extra ones should be able to sell a lot of money. Daddy Zhang secretly pondered whether he would plant all Ueno fruits in the next few yards?
His elder son is smart, and the fruits that grow well are worth more than vegetables! It is a lot of money to sell it in the cellar for a month or two.
At this time he didn't know that his old son had decided to cut down the tree.
Zhang, who was trapped in the ticket, heard his screaming in the yard and looked up at the horizon in surprise. The sun did not come out from the west!
"Mother, happy event. Our Jiaojiao made a great contribution."
"Not meritorious? What about the twins."
Zhang Lao Er couldn't laugh or cry: "Mother, you don't understand. There is a tumult outside, Jiaojiao really made a great contribution. Where is my father, call my father back."
"What nonsense? Why don't I understand? Stop making trouble, your father is doing work."
"I really didn't lie to you, people have already beaten gongs and drums to come here." Zhang Lao Er hurried to the backyard, "Father, hurry up, people will be here soon."
"It's still frizzy when you're old. Come on, what's the matter?"
Zhang Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief: "Said Jiaojiao killed the enemy agent and made a major contribution to technological innovation. It is first-class work! Dad, it is first-class work."
Before Zhang Dad heard behind, he heard killing the enemy agent, so scared that the bamboo pole in his hand fell to the ground without noticing it.
He asked suspiciously: "Your younger siblings haven't even killed a chicken. You can't make a mistake? You said that Xiaowu is a silly boy, I can still believe it, have you asked clearly?"
Zhang Lao Er really didn't ask in detail. As soon as he waited for the news, he didn't even notice the big brother and ran to the village.
He was not sure: "Father, I shouldn't! People said Zhou Jiao, can this be mistaken? Did Jiaojiao go to the South for an internship last year?"
Mother Zhang slapped her thigh: "It's our Jiaojiao, that's right! One time the Yi family kid blew them over to catch the enemy agent, and then he turned off when he saw me. I also asked Xiao Wu about this, he said He didn't go to the South for an internship. Thinking about it now, he didn't go, but we Jiaojiao did."
Daddy Zhang didn't care about laughing at his wife being fooled by the old son. Now that I have to do it with one hand, I lowered my head and looked at the patched clothes on my body. I was about to lift my foot to change it, but suddenly moved wit.
He did not pat the dust on his body, and while wiping his hands with a cloth, he said: "My child, mother, don't change clothes, let's pick up people like this."
For a lifetime husband and wife, how can Zhang mother not understand the meaning of his wife? She said distressedly: "It's a pity, my pair of pants with two holes was given to sister-in-law."
Yes! To make it easier to clean up the kitchen, Mother Zhang changed her old clothes as soon as she arrived in the village, but she didn't change her trousers or even a patch.
The sound of gongs and drums gradually approached. When Father Zhang walked out the door, he saw the old captain and his eldest brother, embracing several county officials, commune secretary, and a strange middle-aged cadre coming home.
You asked him how he knew it was a cadre? Just kidding, I didn't look at the four pockets of the house, and I had a pen in it~EbookFREE.me~ In the eyes of Father Zhang, this must be the provincial capital.
He doesn't know many cadres in the county!
"This is Zhang Guoqing's father Zhang Dayou, and Comrade Zhou Jiao her father-in-law." Li Qinglin and his father Lin Aiguo introduced for both parties, "Brother Zhang, this is Comrade Xue Jianshe in the province."
After hearing the words of County Mayor Li, Zhang Yuntao's father Zhang Zhifeng and Zuo Lin glanced at each other, bowed their heads and laughed. This introduction really means that Mayor Li will play!
Except for Xue Jianshe, the others knew each other and exchanged a few words, surrounding Zhou Jiaoli's first-class work, and all kinds of compliments made Zhang's mother laugh.
Sending away these leading cadres, Zhangjiamen lintel shines for a while!
The festive atmosphere made the village very lively. The villagers gathered around the first-class red display boards and pennants. As for the small pieces of the enamel cup, no one cared.
The old captain stood at the front and hesitated. He looked at Father Zhang, "Second, how about this ancestral hall?"
Daddy Zhang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then thought that the medal was still at home, he smiled and nodded.
"Do you think you should write a letter to Xiao Wu, asking him to take a photo of the certificate and medal and send it over? I will set an ancestral hall and set an example for the descendants of our old Zhang family."
Fortunately, it is a photo, otherwise Zhang Daddy would rather go out of the clan than he would. He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "These are all right, but are they a bit exaggerated?"
"Ask everyone if they are exaggerating? This is a happy event. Did you get second-class merit in Linxian before? They put up a table for three days in their village."
Seeing that everyone was screaming and exulting, Zhang Daddy had no choice but to accept it. From the group photo of the old son with the chairman's old man, it was put on the ancestral hall.
Knowing that he was so happy today, he and his wife might as well stay in the county yard. He also wants to put a pennant at home, okay?
