struggle in a small town

Chapter 404 I Feel Unworthy

A few days before the March [-]th Women's Day, the Women's Federation called Zhang Xuejiao and asked her to write an application for the March [-]th Red Banner Bearer.

She had only seen this honorary title on TV news before, and never thought it would fall on herself, so she subconsciously refused: "I am not qualified."

The Women's Federation insisted that she write it, and said that the city's industry and commerce, taxation, labor security, safety supervision, environmental protection and other departments had reviewed it and agreed unanimously.

Zhang Xuejiao panicked: "But, I don't have much contribution, so I can't bear this honor."

"Why didn't you contribute? You brought goods to farmers for free for two consecutive years. This is your contribution."

"That's what I should do."

No matter what Zhang Xuejiao said, the other party insisted that she write the application.

After hanging up the phone, she ran to find Lin Zhiyuan next door, and asked him if he didn't write the application, would this honorary title have nothing to do with her?

How could Lin Zhiyuan not know what she meant?
"If you don't write it, they will arrange someone to write it for you."

It's really possible.

"You didn't go to the Tax Model Commendation Conference, and you don't want the bonus. You also rejected the title of outstanding entrepreneur last year. What are you thinking?"

Lin Zhiyuan really didn't understand, Xiaoxue was notified of many commendations last year, but she rejected them all.

If these honors were placed on others, they would have publicized them with a loudspeaker, but Xiaoxue was awkward, as if she was afraid of getting a little bit of them, and she was afraid to hear them.

Facing Lin Zhiyuan's question, Zhang Xuejiao's expression was delicate, with some tentativeness and hesitation, she slowly replied: "I said I don't think I'm worthy, do you believe me?"

If it were someone else, Lin Zhiyuan might not believe it, but if it were Xiaoxue, he would have to believe it.

"You think it's useless." Lin Zhiyuan took her hand: "Others think you are worthy, then you are worthy."

Zhang Xuejiao still went to the March [-]th Red Banner Hands Commendation Conference.

As one of the outstanding representatives, she also had to speak on stage.

The few people in the front are very official, talking about dedication and giving, and encouraging everyone to shine in their posts and strive for the society and the country.

Some also gave examples, saying that her father was seriously ill and hospitalized, but she stuck to her post and didn't even look at her before she died.

There are also daughters who are only a few years old and are alone at home. She endures heartache and goes to work, thinking about the safety of her young daughter.

Zhang Xuejiao felt unwell when she heard it.

Of course she does not deny sacrifice and dedication, but is the work done by these people really irreplaceable?

We are all ordinary people, doing ordinary jobs in ordinary positions, what's wrong with taking a day off?
Have you broken the law?

Are you afraid of deducting that day's wages?

When it was Zhang Xuejiao's turn to take the stage, she held the microphone and hesitated for a while. Instead of talking about the manuscript she had prepared in advance, she slowly told everyone: "I hope all sisters, don't be women defined by others. We belong to ourselves first, and secondly It is someone else's wife, mother and daughter, and finally someone's boss, subordinate, and colleague."

"We are very lucky to be born in this era. We have the right and opportunity to choose freely, so I hope that sisters, don't pin your happiness and happiness on others, but learn to appreciate yourself from the inside out, respect yourself, and do what you want what you want to do, not what other people want you to do.”

At a conference promoting dedication, her words were a bit out of place, but she got warm applause from the audience.

The next day's daily newspaper published many representatives' speeches, but none of hers.

But she doesn't care either.

A few days later, the deputy head of the district came, bringing a lot of honor trophies, certificates, and certificates, all of which she did not go to the scene to collect last year.

The deputy district chief persuaded her earnestly: "Xiao Zhang, I know you are a person with ideas, but there are some things you can say, and some things you can't say."

Zhang Xuejiao changed the topic with a smile: "I heard that the celery harvest is bumper, do you want me to help you sell it?"

Busy and busy, it's Xixi's second birthday.

Last year, there was no big event for the first birthday, and it is the same this year.

Because of the live broadcast at night, Zhang Xuejiao can only have a meal with her family at noon to celebrate Xixi's birthday.

After singing the birthday song, Xixi closed her eyes and made a wish, and then blew out the candles.

Lin Zhiyuan shared the cake with everyone, and Zhang Xuejiao pressed Xixi's little ear: "What wish did you make?"

"I can't say it, it won't work if I say it."

Zhang Xuejiao leaned on her: "Tell me quietly~"

Xixi didn't say anything about life or death, but pushed her in the face.

Liu Huifang looked at Xixi and said with emotion: "If you have seedlings, you don't have to worry about growing them. They are already two years old."

"I'm almost five years old!" Xuanxuan stood up unconvinced: "I'm a big sister!"

Xixi called her sister, and pushed the cake in front of her towards Xuanxuan: "I'll give you my cake."

Zhang Xuejiao is very pleased, Xixi is a child who knows how to share.

Unexpectedly, Xixi slapped her face directly in the next second, and she pulled the cake in front of Lin Zhiyuan over: "Dad has strawberries here, I want to eat this."

Zhang Xuejiao didn't even bother to comfort herself.

After the banquet was over, Zhang Yuqiao had to go back to school to work. Xuanxuan asked for leave from the kindergarten and went to the development center with Zhang Xuejiao.

When she arrived at her place, Xixi was triumphant, she dragged Xuanxuan into Zhang Xuejiao's office, took toys from the bookshelf, walked through the middle door, and ran to Lin Zhiyuan's office to play.

Zhang Xuejiao shook her head, picked up the toy that fell on the ground, placed it next to the trophy, and adjusted her state to prepare for the meeting.

To be honest, she used to be most annoyed by meetings. She found them boring and uninteresting, and she was particularly tormented.

Now we have to hold a product selection meeting every day to select high-quality, low-cost, honest and reliable products from many products that are suitable for Zhang Xuejiao's sales, which is a test of people's vision.

Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door, she called "Come in", Accountant Liu pushed the door open and entered.

Usually there is no important matter, accountant Liu rarely takes the initiative to find her, what's the matter today?
"Brother Liu, what's the matter?"

Accountant Liu closed the door casually: "Zhuang Jia called today and asked me to prepare a sum of money for him. Do you know about this?"

Zhang Xuejiao shook her head, she hadn't seen Zhuang Jia these days.

"You ask?"

Zhang Xuejiao called Zhuang Jia, and Zhuang Jia sighed over there: "Sister, I told you last time, if you still say go back, tell accountant Liu."

"Is there?" Zhang Xuejiao really couldn't remember: "My life has been too chaotic recently, so I can't remember clearly."

"The money to buy landscape saplings, and the money to hire people."

After mentioning this, Zhang Xuejiao finally remembered that she still had 500 mu of land waiting to be planted.

Then she remembered that during Chinese New Year, Zhuang Jia mentioned it once when she called her to call her New Year greetings. She also said that she had hired professionals in this field to help with management. The results would be seen in three years at the fastest, and five years at the slowest.

Zhang Xuejiao was already numb to time, and she only said to let him figure it out at the time, and if she was short of money, she would go to accountant Liu.

Now that she remembered it, she would definitely not renege on the debt, and she told accountant Liu that she had confessed.

Accountant Liu went out, and Zhao Mengmeng came running back, saying that everyone was waiting for her for a meeting.

Zhang Xuejiao nodded, found a notepad and a pen, and braced herself to go to the meeting.

Before going out, Zhao Mengmeng turned around and asked her: "Mr. Zhang, do you think Xixi's toys are as important as those trophies?"

Zhang Xuejiao subconsciously glanced at the bookshelf, it was a mess, there were trophies among the toys, and there were toys in the trophies, she decided to keep silent.
