Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen quickly waved his hands and said: "Captain, Uncle Wu, I just did what I should do, and it's not worthy of such high-profile publicity."
The captain smiled and patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder and said, "Ziwen, please stop being modest. Your deeds are a positive energy spread for the village, and we must let everyone know about it."< br>
Wu Dagang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ziwen. You not only stopped the crime this time, but also helped the Educated Youth Office solve the problem. This is a major contribution to the village. We should let everyone learn from you and learn from you Bravery and justice.”
Seeing that the two elders were so insistent, Zhou Ziwen no longer refused, but said that he would continue to work hard and live up to everyone's expectations.
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll make arrangements later. At the village meeting tomorrow morning, we will officially announce this matter and read out your certificate of honor." The captain said decisively.
Wu Dagang also added: "We can also take this opportunity to once again emphasize the issue of educated youth management and discipline, so that everyone can understand that any violation of laws and disciplines will be severely punished."
After the two reached an agreement, they began to arrange related matters.
Zhou Ziwen returned home with the certificate of honor and the envelope of award, and Chen Qiaoyi was playing with little Yueyue in the yard.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming back, Chen Qiaoyi immediately greeted him and curiously looked at the honorary certificate and envelope in his hand.
"Brother Ziwen, what is this? What is that in your hand?" Chen Qiaoyi's eyes flashed with curiosity.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and handed the certificate of honor and envelope to Chen Qiaoyi and said: "This is a commendation given to me by the Educated Youth Office, because I prevented a crime a few days ago."
Chen Qiaoyi took the certificate of honor and opened it carefully. When she saw the golden writing and the bright red seal on it, a proud smile appeared on her face: "Brother Ziwen, you are so awesome! This is a great honor! ”
Seeing her mother's happy look, little Yueyue came over curiously and stretched out her little hand to touch the certificate of honor. Chen Qiaoyi carefully raised the certificate to avoid getting dirty by little Yueyue's little hands.
"Brother Ziwen, what's in this envelope?" Chen Qiaoyi pointed at the envelope and asked.
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile: "This is the material reward given to me by the Educated Youth Affairs Office. I haven't seen the details. Let's take a look together."
Chen Qiaoyi nodded and carefully opened the envelope. Inside was some money and a note.
The note contained the Educated Youth Affairs Office’s gratitude and encouragement to Zhou Ziwen.
"Brother Ziwen, this is the bonus! It's three yuan."
Chen Qiaoyi's eyes shone with surprise.
In this era, three dollars is a lot of money. In this era of relative scarcity of materials, these three dollars are also a lot of wealth.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen didn't value money, but the honorary certificate made him very satisfied.
In this era, everyone attaches great importance to honor. If Zhou Ziwen gets this honor, he will be respected by everyone no matter where he goes.
After playing with little Yueyue for a while, Zhou Ziwen returned to the room and continued to translate information.
Although the sun was shining brightly outside the house and it was filled with all kinds of trivial and warm life atmosphere, Zhou Ziwen sat at the table inside the house and quickly became immersed in the world of translated materials. As he continued to translate in depth, time passed quietly, the sun slowly moved on the ground, and as the light and shadow changed, it was already evening.
Chen Qiaoyi called him to eat outside the house, and Zhou Ziwen came back from his concentration, stretched, stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body.
At the dinner table, Chen Qiaoyi served Zhou Ziwen some food and said with a smile: "Brother Ziwen, everyone is talking about today that you will be commended at the village meeting tomorrow. Everyone is happy for you."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said: "Actually, I didn't do this to get praise. It was just the situation at the time. I couldn't just watch someone get hurt."
Chen Shiying nodded at the side and said: "Yes, Ziwen, you really set a good example for everyone this time. Especially those educated youths, many of them admire you very much and feel that you have shown them that what can be done in rural areas Make something meaningful”
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen helped Chen Qiaoyi clean up the dishes and played with little Yueyue for a while.
Little Yueyue had already begun to talk, calling "Dad" and "Mom" vaguely in her mouth. That childish voice filled Zhou Ziwen's heart with warmth.
There was nothing to say all night. In the early morning of the next day, the sun filled Dabazi Village, and the whole village was filled with an atmosphere of expectation.
The villagers and educated youth arrived at the grain drying field early. Everyone gathered in groups and talked in low voices.
When Zhou Ziwen appeared in the grain drying field, there was a burst of heated discussion among the crowd.
Zhou Ziwen felt the gazes and comments of the villagers. He smiled and nodded to everyone. He was already used to such gazes.
The captain and Wu Dagang were already standing on the high platform of the grain drying field. When they saw Zhou Ziwen, they waved to him. Zhou Ziwen walked forward and stood beside them.
"Everyone, please be quiet. We are gathering here today and we have something important to announce." The captain's voice spread through the loudspeaker throughout the grain drying field.
The villagers and educated youth gradually became quiet, and all eyes were focused on the high platform.
"A few days ago, Comrade Zhou Ziwen from our village showed great courage and sense of justice when facing criminal acts, successfully prevented a criminal incident, and helped the Educated Youth Office solve the problem. In recognition of his heroic behavior , the Educated Youth Affairs Office specially awarded him a certificate of honor and a material reward," the captain announced loudly and showed the certificate of honor to everyone.
A burst of warm applause broke out from the crowd, and many educated youths and villagers cast admiring glances at Zhou Ziwen.
"Comrade Zhou Ziwen's behavior is an example for all of us to learn from. He not only protected the safety of the villagers, but also won honor for the educated youth group. We hope that everyone can learn from him, be brave enough to take responsibility, and take positive actions." Wu Dagang continued said, his voice equally firm and powerful.
Later, the team leader and Wu Dagang emphasized the issue of educated youth management and discipline, reminding everyone to strictly abide by laws and regulations, and any violation will be severely punished.
After the meeting, the villagers and educated youth gathered around Zhou Ziwen.
An older villager stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Ziwen, you are really good! It is a blessing for everyone in our village to have a young man like you!"
"Yes, it would be great if all educated youths were like Ziwen." Someone sighed. (End of chapter)
