Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Reactions
The next day at work, before the meeting, all the staff looked excitedly at their leader.
At noon, they gathered in Xu Guozhi’s office for lunch.
"Xiao Su, you did really well."
This generation has endured humiliation outside for the sake of giving the masses a better life. They go in to strive for some short-lived time, making efforts to grow stronger.
But every time, they also feel very stifled.
"Leader, it’s what I should do."
Xu Guozhi had been very excited lately. He was extremely satisfied with Su Yuanyuan, over and over again.
Days were becoming more regular. Soon, ordinary people like Zhao Yanli received the news in the newspapers.
Zhao Yanli was so excited that she couldn’t stand still or sit still.
Actually, ordinary people feel the same. In their hearts now, they admire this female leader, who truly achieved something, becoming a pillar holding up half the sky.
All the women across the country were extremely excited, as she became a role model for them.
When Zhao Yanli returned home in the evening, she couldn’t stop talking excitedly.
After dinner, she took her two sons to visit her nieces.
Now, Zhao Xiaoling and Xiao Le, the two sisters, were already in fifth grade. In this six-year primary school system, they would take the entrance exam for middle school this year, but they were stopped by Zhao Yanli and her sister.
It is good for the children to be motivated, but they must lay a solid foundation.
The two girls were obedient but didn’t give up on learning middle school knowledge. Whenever they encountered something they didn’t understand, they would ask their teachers.
The two boys’ studies were more ordinary. However, their grades were still alright, and they hadn’t thought about skipping grades either.
The little nieces could now make simple dishes and take care of their little brothers. And whenever they had spare time, they would make paper boxes themselves.
They were so sensible that Zhao Yanli talked about them all day. Everyone who knew her knew she had such understanding nieces and nephews.
Zhao Xiaoling was tidying up the vegetable garden. They grew some vegetables in the yard for themselves. Although it wasn’t enough, it was better than nothing.
"Auntie."
The two boys rushed into the house to find their cousins to play with.
"Xiaoling, Xiao Le, you two come over and see."
Seeing their aunt holding the newspaper excitedly, the two sisters curiously put down their tasks.
Although it was not yet dark outside, there was no light anymore.
However, the children were reluctant to light a lamp. Usually, the family would be in the dark at this time, just for doing homework. Everyone would gather together.
"You two come quickly, this is your Aunt Yuanyuan."
Zhao Xiaoling didn’t have much memory of Su Yuanyuan since she was very young at that time. She had seen Aunt Yuanyuan’s photos in newspapers before, but they were all side views, and not clear.
"Auntie, my Aunt Yuanyuan is so beautiful, isn’t she?"
"Who says she isn’t? Let me tell you, I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than your aunt."
"Auntie, let’s go inside and take a look, and let our younger siblings remember her too."
The whole family gathered around the table to look at the newspaper. In the children’s minds, Aunt Yuanyuan was the prettiest.
Moreover, the report was read aloud by Zhixue this time, which amazed the children even more.
Even though they were young, they had a deeply-rooted belief that the Japanese were their enemies.
Hearing how their aunt was able to deal with them, how could they not be excited?
"You guys don’t talk about your Aunt Yuanyuan with outsiders.
Your aunt has instructed me, fearing that someone might want to harm her and then it would be bad for us.
You should work hard in the future. Your aunt said you could definitely get into a university, and then you can look for her."
The two sisters looked admiringly at the portrait of their aunt in the newspaper, "Aunt Xiao Yun also wrote to us. She and Uncle Shaoguang are now in university.
So we will definitely work hard and go to the capital to be with our aunt in the future too."
Zhao Yanli contentedly patted her two nieces and looked at her nephew and grandson, "You two must work hard as well. Whether you can go to the capital and live a good life, becoming as useful as your aunt, depends on you."
The two boys nodded. In fact, they were quite smart but lacked self-discipline. When their friends and classmates invited them to play, they couldn’t resist the temptation.
Now that their aunt had become such a presence, they had a goal.
Zhao Yanli also took the opportunity to educate her eldest son, who only knew how to play.
Now, for the Zhao family’s children, Su Yuanyuan was their target.
After Zhao Yanli returned, she immediately started writing a letter to Su Yuanyuan, filled with words of excitement.
Feng Baoshan from the farm also saw the news. He was so excited that he didn’t know what to do, pacing around his office several times but still couldn’t calm down.
Now, he urgently needed someone to share his excitement with, and the best choice was the Zhao Family. Therefore, he drove straight to the Zhao Family’s place.
The members of the Zhao Family staying on the farm were all here, and not far away.
He found the father and son of the Zhao Family in the field, and Feng Baoshan shouted excitedly at the field’s edge.
Zhao Qingxiang and Zhao Tian hastily came out, wondering what urgent matter Director Feng had.
"Qingxiang, look quickly, this is Su Yuanyuan’s photo, take a look."
Zhao Qingxiang knew some characters but not many, so he stuttered while reading the newspaper to his father, and Feng Baoshan would read out the words he didn’t know.
"Good, really good. Yuanyuan is really capable," Zhao Tian kept muttering.
At that moment, Zhao Qingjie arrived with the carriage. "Dad, big brother."
"Qingjie, you should also take a look, the report on Su Yuanyuan."
In the evening, the Zhao Family all knew this news. Everyone was extremely excited as it was truly their pride and joy.
"How come Yuanyuan is so capable?" Qi Xue Mei said with a smile.
"Indeed, in the future, the children of our family will definitely be capable too. Xiao Li told me. Yuanyuan asked her to urge the kids to study hard and aim for the Capital University to find her."
Everyone now had dreamy smiles on their faces.
"Sister-in-law, isn’t it great? Xiaoling, Xiao Le, and Little Hong are so sensible and excellent in studies. Surely, they will be able to go to university in the capital in the future.
By then, Yuanyuan will definitely take good care of them, and they will be as capable as Yuanyuan."
Sun Yun listened to these words, with a proud expression on her face.
Indeed, her two daughters were really outstanding in their studies. So what if she had no sons? One daughter was worth several sons.
An Lixia looked at such a daughter-in-law and felt a little more at ease, although the family was traditionally biased toward boys. She hoped she could treat her three granddaughters well in the future.
