Chapter 674: Chapter 0674: Refund and Leave Message 3_1

The person who spoke up was Secretary Huang, whose attitude was very serious and gained everyone’s unanimous approval.

Before Cheng Baoguo and Wang Zhengguo could speak, Father Lu politely declined, "Isn’t living just living no matter where I am? I think the cowshed is quite nice. After all these years of living together, I’ve grown fond of these animals and don’t want to leave. Without the cowshed, I wouldn’t know what to do. I am aware that my comrades are considering my well-being, for which I am very grateful in my heart, but I’ve grown accustomed to my current life and don’t wish to make any changes because of a letter from the leaders. This might make everyone think that I’ve become overly proud."

Leave the cowshed? That’s a joke, there’s still a lot of the Lu family’s possessions underneath it!

Secretary Huang said uncomfortably, "It’s not really advisable for you to continue living in the cowshed, you know!"

"What’s wrong with it? The more you receive praise from the leaders, the less and less you should make any changes. If not, then how can the leaders praise others? If I were to improve my quality of life through the leaders’ praise, wouldn’t that be in a mess?" Father Lu smiled faintly, "Our brigade secretary, who is also brigade leader, is very generous, and, as long as you work diligently, everyone is treated fairly."

Cheng Baoguo, aware that Father Lu must have a hidden meaning, stepped in saying, "Alright, alright, since Comrade Lu doesn’t want to leave the cowshed, then we won’t insist. These items here are just a small token of our gratitude, so please don’t refuse, Comrade Lu."

These were some grain tickets, cloth tickets, sugar tickets, and egg tickets collected by officials from various levels- although they were more important than money, they were not money after all.

Father Lu thanked them repeatedly and finally managed to see Wang Zhengguo and the others off.

After unloading the dried sweet potatoes from the car and storing them in the granary, Wang Zhengguo and Father Lu drove back to the field to continue their work.

When others asked about what had happened, the news that so many people had come to see Father Lu had already spread to everyone’s knowledge. Wang Zhengguo proudly told them all the details loudly, "The leaders praised our brigade for having a good standard of living in the letter. Let’s continue to work hard!" This was what Father Lu told him after Cheng Baoguo and the others had left.

No sooner were his words spoken, than those townsfolk who had heard them were agitated, their faces filled with excitement, shaking with emotion.

"Did the leader praise us?"

"Is it the leader I’m thinking of?"

"Is it a letter the leader wrote to Xibao’s grandfather? No wonder so many government officials came."

"Wasn’t it just saying the other day that Xibao was in the capital that he went to Tiananmen? We didn’t hear anything about them meeting the leader. Old brother Lu, you really know how to keep a secret! The mother and son are really stirring things up, we normally thought they were splendourous enough just going to the capital and we didn’t even know that they met the leader! The leader must like Xibao, our Xibao is so fat!"

Little Fatty Xibao certainly looks like he is blessed with good luck."

"We need to work hard, strive hard in order to maintain the leader’s satisfaction with us!"

"Right, right, we need to work hard, let Father Lu paint a picture portraying our working scenes. Father Lu, when you reply to the leader’s letter, you must tell him about our joyous scenes of a successful harvest this year, indicating that our Wanglou Brigade has another bumper harvest! Do not mention that some wheat sprouted in the field due to the heavy rain this summer, this is really important!"

Though they encountered some problems during the summer harvest this year- some of the wheat in the field sprouted as they were unable to harvest it in time because of the rains -they had managed to complete their summer harvest in the nick of time, with the help of a large group of student volunteers. This does not affect their life afterward.

After a lively discussion, everyone was even more motivated and worked with great enthusiasm.
