Reborn in 1977

Lujiawan was becoming famous.

Not only was it famous in the Nanhugong Commune, but also in Guofeng County and Yunhu Prefecture, many people knew the name of the Lujiawan Production Brigade.

First, the Guofeng County Broadcasting Station broadcast a report on "Lujiawan Production Brigade Reinforces River Embankments While Learning from Dazhai" in the county broadcast news at 8:30 am on February 2nd.

Chen Fan didn't understand the relationship between learning from Dazhai and reinforcing river embankments, but all the grassroots reports were written like this, so he just followed suit.

After the county broadcasting station broadcast this report that day, Lujiawan became famous throughout Guofeng County.

Although everyone knew that this year's embankment reinforcement was just a small effort, they deeply despised Lujiawan's overreaction.

But they were envious in their hearts.

Following the county broadcasting station's report, the Yunhu Daily, the prefectural newspaper, also published this news article on February 3rd. This time, it not only had text but also six vivid illustrations, presenting the scene of the Lujiawan Production Brigade members fighting tenaciously.

If being on the county broadcast could still be considered special care from one's own people, then the significance of the prefectural newspaper was completely different.

Yunhu Prefecture was a large special zone, with a total of 3,000 production teams in its jurisdiction. Such a large area could not possibly take special care of anyone for no reason.

To be able to appear in the Yunhu Daily, apart from the dispensable "advanced deeds," discerning people knew that the pen of the person who wrote this report was the key.

...

Team Leader Zhang held the latest issue of the Yunhu Daily, smiling from ear to ear, "Hmph, say we're making a fuss over nothing, so what if we're making a fuss over nothing? If they have the ability, they can also make a fuss and get on the prefectural newspaper."

Secretary Yang puffed on his pipe, his eyes narrowed into slits, "It's not good to say things that are not conducive to unity. We are just doing our work in a down-to-earth manner, don't pay attention to outside rumors."

Ye Shubao crossed his legs, and even rarely shook his foot, "Secretary is right, but the team leader also makes sense. After the news article written by Xiao Chen was broadcast on the radio yesterday, everyone's enthusiasm has obviously increased a lot. I think it should be fully completed by noon today, and wait for the technicians from the Water Conservancy Bureau to come and inspect it."

Xiao Liewen was full of glory, looking left and right, "It seems that we are the first of the five brigades in the entire commune to pass the inspection, right?"

Zhang Changjiang nodded, "Yes, it's the first."

Secretary Yang laughed and said, "This is what Mr. Li said, as long as you mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, there is nothing that cannot be done."

Although Mr. Li was no longer here, it was only recently, and now when everyone speaks, they are still habitually quoting Mr. Li's words.

At this time, Ye Shubao suddenly said, "Xiao Chen, do you think you can make persistent efforts and write a report on 'Preventing Schistosomiasis and Clearing Silt from Ditches'?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Chen Fan expectantly.

Chen Fan's face was a little embarrassed, "These two contents are similar. If I write it again, I'm afraid it won't pass. Even if it can, it can only be broadcast in the commune or county."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed some disappointment.

If they could have a two-game winning streak, then Lujiawan would be truly famous.

At this time, Chen Fan said again, "Moreover, after this time, I guess other production teams will definitely follow suit, or reporters from the Yunhu Daily will personally go to the villages around the prefecture to interview."

The reporters from Yunhu Daily wouldn't be so stupid as to not use a ready-made subject, right?

If it was disappointment just now, now Secretary Yang and the others were resigned to their fate.

After taking two puffs of smoke, Xiao Liewen chuckled, "We can't steal all the limelight, we have to leave some soup for others to drink."

Zhang Changjiang also smiled, "That's the truth."

Saying that, he looked at Chen Fan and laughed, "Besides, they don't have a pen like Xiao Chen."

Hearing this, Secretary Yang almost laughed out loud, "Not only don't they have one, but people in other places besides our Nanhugong Commune don't even know that there is Xiao Chen. I'm afraid they still think it was written by a reporter from Yunhu Daily. Now, I'm afraid they are still scratching their heads thinking about where to find a pen."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Chen Fan smiled along with them, with a few helplessness hidden in his eyes.

Who would believe that news reports these days are actually unsigned!

The beginning is generally "A certain commune reported at a certain time", or "This newspaper reported", "A certain commune's manuscript", or "This newspaper's reporter reported", there is really not even a name.

Only those comments and literary articles will be signed.

So this time Chen Fan didn't even get a false name. After such a long article, only a (Contributed by Nanhugong Commune, Guofeng County) was marked in parentheses.

This is why Secretary Yang said those words just now. Perhaps, as he said, people in other places are probably still guessing, why would the reporter from the prefectural newspaper go to that small place to interview?!

At this time, the main personnel of the brigade were gathered together. After the celebration meeting, Secretary Yang said, "This time, our Lujiawan Brigade can be famous in the Yunhu area, Xiao Chen's contribution is indispensable. Everyone, let's talk about how to reward him."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, there was even an unexpected surprise?

Rewards are good, I like this link the most, especially when the awardee is myself!

But he was still modest, shyly declining, "No need, no need, it's all I should do."

Zhang Changjiang immediately waved his hand, "One thing is one thing, the excellent should be commended, and the backward should be criticized. This is a matter of course, what's there to say?"

Xiao Liewen also nodded and said, "This time, you can be considered to have set a precedent for Lujiawan. This is indeed worth commending, but don't think too much, just this time, there will be no more in the future."

He then said to Secretary Yang, "Didn't the commune also hold an advanced model commendation meeting last time? I think Xiao Chen can be an advanced model."

Ye Shubao immediately expressed his support, "I agree. The reward can also be according to that standard."

Secretary Yang immediately decided, "Okay, then we will issue a certificate of merit, and then issue a notebook, a pen, and an enamel mug."

Chen Fan blinked, is that it?

Before he could recover, Zhang Wenliang ran into the next office in a puff of smoke, and ran back in a puff of smoke, handing a stack of things to Secretary Yang and the other three.

Secretary Yang immediately raised his hand, motioning Chen Fan, who was stunned, to stand up, and then issued the certificate of merit to him, and shook hands with him, "Comrade Xiao Chen has performed excellently. I hope you will make persistent efforts in your future work and make greater achievements."

Zhang Changjiang presented him with a notebook, "Write more good articles about our farmers."

Xiao Liewen presented him with a pen, "Be a good member with both literary and military skills."

Finally, Ye Shubao presented him with an enamel mug, "Work hard, I'm optimistic about you!"

Chen Fan held a pile of things, blinking in confusion.

Didn't you say you wanted to discuss it first? You finished discussing it in one sentence, and the prizes were given out?

You were already waiting here, right?!

At this time, he realized it.

Well, a group of old foxes, they were worried that they would propose the condition of dividing the homestead or requesting a political review certificate, so they took these things to block their mouths first.

This matter is making a fuss.

He looked down, well, fortunately, not at a loss, this standard is definitely the standard of a large factory. As far as a production team is concerned, it is basically just a certificate of merit. At most, it is an enamel cup. Don't fantasize about notebooks and pens.

Team Leader Yang and the others can be considered to have spent a lot of money this time.

In fact, I never thought there would be a reward, why bother.
