Chapter 120 Commendation Conference
The next day, Zhou Rong gave Tao Fen the application for joining the party/league and the speech.
In her speech, she first thanked the Party Central Committee, provincial leaders, municipal leaders, district leaders, and neighborhood committee officials for their concern for people's lives.
It is thanks to the hard work and wise guidance of the Party Central Committee and all the leaders and officials that we can unite and help each other, work together, forge ahead courageously, overcome all difficulties, and Jiangcheng can defeat this once-in-a-century flood.
A ship of a thousand miles begins with a compass. The leading role of all leaders and staff has given her the direction to move forward. She wants to do her best in this natural disaster, just like all leaders and flood fighters.
Throughout the speech, Zhou Rong described the things she had done as insignificant. She said that she was completely influenced and inspired by leaders at all levels and neighborhood committee officials to think about doing something for the people.
Her contribution is insignificant compared to that of all the leaders and staff.
In the future, she will continue to learn advanced ideas from all leaders and staff, strive to get closer to the organization, and do good things for the people to the best of her ability.
After reading Zhou Rong's speech, Tao Fen nodded repeatedly: "Your speech is well written, sincere and realistic. I will show it to the director. If there is no problem, I will read it that day."
Zhou Rong: "Thank you, Sister Tao."
Half an hour later, Tao Fen returned and handed the speech to Zhou Rong: "There is basically no problem with your manuscript, but there are some typos. The director has circled them for you. Go back and revise them."
Zhou Rong looked at the few wrong words she had deliberately written on the speech manuscript, which were all circled in red pen, and smiled: "Sister Tao and the director are really careful. They helped me correct the mistakes. I corrected them immediately after returning."
Tao Fen: "Well, you are a good comrade, and the director also praised you. Perform well, and you will have many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future.
You have never been to the city government, so you probably don't know the way. I will go with you to the commendation meeting next week. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
Zhou Rong: "Okay, thank you Sister Tao."
Thanks to the help of Tao Fen and the neighborhood committee director, Zhou Rong and Zhou Gui’s applications to join the party/league were reviewed and approved very quickly within two days.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the commendation meeting.
Tao Fen didn't have a bicycle, so Zhou Rong let Zhou Gui sit on the front bar and she sat on the back seat, and took the two of them to the city government.
On that day, the square and streets in front of the city government were filled with people, estimated to be tens of thousands.
Tao Fen explained: "This time, many flood prevention heroes were selected, and there were 20,000 to 30,000 new members of the party and the league, and a group of cadres were promoted.
There are a few others who have been named "Three Good Citizens" like you. Let's go find them and we'll go on stage together later."
Zhou Rong: "Okay."
While looking for people in the square, Zhou Rong saw Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiafu, Zhou Jiashun and Zhou Jiashan chatting with a few people, so he pulled Tao Fen and Zhou Gui over.
"Why are you here?"
Zhou Jiahua and his companions were also surprised to see Zhou Rong and Zhou Gui.
Zhou Jiafu said, "Sister, we are here to attend the commendation meeting. Brother and Shunzi have joined the Party, and Shanzi and I have joined the League. We will recite the oath later. Are you here to join the Party and the League as well?"
Zhou Rong: “Yeah.”
Tao Fen recognized that they were siblings from their conversation, and quickly gave them a thumbs up, praising them: "Oh, your family is really full of heroes. The male general is fighting floods on the front line, and the girl is donating supplies and serving the people in the rear. You are really role models for everyone!"
Zhou Jiahua smiled innocently and said, "We just carried a few more sacks. Compared with those who were seriously injured and sacrificed during the flood prevention, it is nothing."
Zhou Rong looked at Zhou Jiahua's chapped lips, scratched face and arms, and Zhou Jiashun's bandaged arm, and asked, "Are you injured?"
Zhou Jiahua scratched his head and said, "I was slightly injured, but I'm healed now."
Zhou Jiashan: "It's not just a minor injury, I almost lost my life!
Sister Darong, you don't know how dangerous the situation was for Brother Huazi and Brother Shunzi at that time. A big wave hit and someone fell into the water. They hurriedly jumped into the river to save him, but the wind and waves were so strong and the water was so turbid that they were washed away for a long distance.
Fortunately, there was a piece of wood in the water and they grabbed it. Otherwise, I would not have been able to explain to my eldest uncle and third uncle after returning.
After they and the person who fell into the water were rescued, Brother Huazi had a high fever that wouldn't go away, and Brother Shunzi's arm was cut by a branch in the water, which later became festered. The doctor said they were infected with bacteria, but the hospital had no medicine to save them.
God has mercy on us. A kind person donated a lot of Panshelin medicine to the hospital. The two of them got better slowly after the injections. Thank God for that.”
Helping others is helping yourself. Zhou Rong once again deeply realized the meaning of this sentence.
Zhou Rong's eyes were red, and he patted Zhou Jiahua on the shoulder: "After attending the commendation meeting, come to my place for dinner. I will give you extra meals. Jiafu, Jiashun, and Jiashan can go together."
Zhou Jiashun smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't eaten the food cooked by Sister Darong for a long time, I miss it."
Zhou Jiashan: "Yes, I haven't eaten or slept well for more than two months. I'm worried that the dam will burst when I close my eyes. I hurried to carry the sacks."
Zhou Jiafu: "I carry sacks every day, and my arms are almost no longer my own. The factory has given me two days off. I want to go to my eldest sister's place to have a good sleep, sleep all day and night, and make up for the sleep I missed in the past two months."
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Sure, you can sleep as long as you want. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll go buy it."
A few people were chatting there. Not far away, a group of people dressed like cadres came over. Zhou Rong saw Yang Jinlin in the crowd.
I couldn't help but wonder, has he become a cadre again?
Zhou Jiafu also saw Yang Jinlin, spat on the ground, and said with contempt: "Villain! He was allowed to become an official. God is really blind!"
Zhou Rong asked: "Did you meet Yang Jinlin on the dike?"
Zhou Jiafu: “Well, at first, when I saw him carrying sacks and repairing the dam like us, I thought he had changed. Later, I heard that he was fired by the government. I wanted to find an opportunity to ridicule him and avenge you.
He is a very cunning man. He ran away when he saw me, as if he was afraid that I would hit him.
The flood prevention task was heavy, and I saw that he was working very hard and seemed to be sincerely repairing the dam, so I didn't bother him.
As a result, this man was not able to bear the praise, and his true nature was revealed within two days. Whenever provincial and municipal leaders came to inspect, he would keep shouting the slogan "As long as people are on the dike, it will be there; if the dike is destroyed, people will die", and then shamelessly run to the leaders to speak.
I was curious about what he said to the leaders that made them all so happy, so I leaned in to eavesdrop. It turned out to be all flattery, and he wanted to praise the leaders to the sky.
There were people all around, including Tao Fen. Zhou Rong coughed lightly, signaling Zhou Jiafu to stop talking, lest he speak out of turn...
