70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 239 Celebrating Together
There is a small storage room in the house, most of which contains tools used by his maternal grandfather as a carpenter.

He Yuxiang searched for a long time before finding a small hammer, several nails of different lengths, and a carpenter's right-angle ruler.

Seeing that he had all the tools ready, He Yuan said, "I'll go get the ladder."

"it is good."

He Yuxiang also went up to take a look.

The ladder was placed in the backyard, which could be reached by going around a bend from the main hall. The ladder was placed against the outer wall of the main hall.

He Yuan shook the bamboo ladder, which creaked loudly. He knew he would likely slip if he stepped on it. "This ladder hasn't been used in a long time, has it?"

“Yes, the ladder is quite tall, and it would be too cramped in the storage room, so we put it here.” He Yuxiang also shook it, and seeing the cracks in the ladder, he hesitated and said, “Should I go ask an old man if he has a ladder?”

"Row."

He Yuan nodded.

He Yuxiang went to the alley entrance to find an old man and asked him which family had a ladder.

An old man was puzzled: "Your family members don't have to go to work or school today, so why are you all back?"

He Yuxiang pursed his lips and said casually, "My aunt was so happy to receive the banner that she asked us to come home and visit."

"What! A banner!"

An old man was shocked.

The other elderly men and women at the alley entrance also stood up in unison: "A real banner?"

He Yuxiang: "How could a banner be fake?"

Everyone thought so too.

If they dare to forge the banner, then a silver bracelet awaits them.

Everyone flocked to see what the banner looked like. Someone in the alley had received a banner; this was such a source of pride.

Someone quickly went to notify the neighborhood office and asked them to come and take a look.

An old man also took He Yuxiang to borrow a ladder.

Chen Qing, who was at home letting Xiao Yu play with the tassels of a banner, suddenly saw a group of elderly men and women arrive. He frowned and asked, "Are you causing trouble?"

"No way, Xiaoqing, we heard you got a banner, let us see it."

"Yes, this is something to be proud of, your parents... no, anyway, this is a very happy occasion!"

"Yes, it should be hung below the portrait of the President."

……

Everyone shared their opinions, and some even told Xiaoyu not to touch it carelessly, saying it was a precious item and what would happen if it got damaged.

Xiao Yu was surprised.

The banner was red with golden tassels. She thought it was beautiful and wanted to play with it, so her aunt let her play with it, only telling her not to tear the words.

So she happily played with the tassels.

She even had Mao Mao hold it up, and when she waved the tassels, they created a beautiful arc, which was really super fun!

So, banners are that precious?

Mao Mao felt the heat was too much for him, because he always broke things easily, but those things could be bought with money. However, the banner seemed to be something that money couldn't buy, so he quickly handed it to his aunt.

Everyone thought Chen Qingxin was really bold.

Chen Qing looked at the intact banner and thought there was no major problem.

Soon, the ladder arrived.

A portrait of the chairman hangs high on the wall in the center of the main hall.

This is a portrait that every household needs. Even the banner is bigger than the sky, but it cannot be higher than the portrait, so it is placed in the lower left corner of the portrait.

Because the people from the neighborhood committee came and told them that they could apply for the "Three Good Families" award at the end of the year.

With a sliver of anticipation, Chen Qing settled on the bottom left corner.

What if!
If another family with three good deeds were to appear, the portrait would have guardian deities on either side.

I'm sure that would be a perfect scene.

He Yuan climbed the ladder, used a right-angle ruler to mark the position on the wall, and was about to knock when a group of people below started talking.

"A little higher on the left..."

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

"No, no, lower it a little."

……

Everyone showed great enthusiasm for the banner. Chen Qing stood at a distance to oversee the process, and when it was almost ready, he said, "Knock." Ding, ding, ding.

With three crisp knocks, the nail was firmly driven into the wall.

After He Yuan finished dealing with the situation, he climbed down the ladder.

Chen Qing himself hung the banner.

"I'll hold the ladder for you."

"Row."

Chen Qing took the banner and quickly climbed up.

Everyone held their breath as they watched the bright red banner slowly unfurl, its banner proclaiming "Speaking out for the people, a true successor to the Communist Party" gleaming in the sunlight.

"It's so beautiful! My aunt is amazing!" Xiaoyu was the first to clap.

Mao Mao exclaimed, "That's really impressive!"

Everyone applauded.

Chen Qing climbed down the ladder, stood on the ground, looked up, and said, "Not bad."

"Xiao Qing is really promising."

"This banner really brings honor to our alley."

"Look at what it says there, successors of the Communist Party, that's great."

……

Everyone admired the banner, praising Chen Qing repeatedly, and showering him with all sorts of sycophantic words.

Chen Qing simply couldn't adapt and told them to go home immediately.

Actually, everyone wanted to ask Chen Qing how he got the banner, but there was too little time, and they were driven away before they could even ask.

An old man carried the ladder away as well.

The house is quiet again.

He Yuxiang stared intently at the bright red.

It seems that many people are pursuing this shade of red; my maternal grandparents are, my father is, and my aunt is too.

Even though they often only think about their own well-being, they still dedicate themselves to building a better country without hesitation.

Is this really going to be better?
He Yuxiang couldn't understand it, but he felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

His original dream was to become a soldier, like his father, to protect his country.

But after my father's sacrifice, my maternal grandparents and mother passed away one after another, and the family completely collapsed.

He and his sister became the "poor little thing" in everyone's eyes.

At that time, he still wanted to be a soldier because soldiers had the highest status and he could support his younger sister well.

He has no dreams now; he just wants to save money to give his younger sister a good life and to take good care of his aunt when he grows up.

Aside from that, he didn't know what else he should do.

He turned his head to look at his aunt.

My aunt was also gazing up at the banner hanging high, her eyes glistening with tears.

He Yuxiang pursed his lips, a phrase his teacher often recited echoing in his mind: "When the people have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope."

He was unsure what kind of person he would become in the future, but the only certainty was that he could never do anything that would harm the interests of the country.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, He Yuxiang quietly returned to his room.

He laid out the photos of his maternal grandparents and parents one by one, and earnestly said to them:

“My aunt received a banner that read ‘Speaking out for the people, a true successor to the Communist Party.’ It’s a very high praise. If you were alive, you would be very happy to see it.”

As he spoke, his eyes reddened slightly.

After a long silence, she continued, "By the way, I was beaten up yesterday, but you don't need to worry. My aunt has already avenged me. She lost her job and punched that person three times."

"I think she's silly, but I'm inexplicably happy. Maybe I've become a little silly too."

He took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "If you can hear what I'm saying, please bless the people in this house, including Xiaoyu, Aunt, Uncle, and Mao Mao. They are all doing very well."

"You should be able to hear this, so why don't you all celebrate with your aunt?"

"I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. My uncle bought beef today, but I want to buy a few bottles of Beibingyang soda because my aunt and Xiaoyu both like to drink it."

"I go first."

After saying that, he put the photo back, took out five yuan from where he had hidden the money, turned around, opened the door, and headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
