Chapter 162 National Advanced Collectives
"Shi Xia, people from the county have arrived!"

What are the people from the county doing here?
Shi Xia casually wiped the map off the beach and stood up to look at the person who had come.

"Hello, Comrade Shi Xia, I am the secretary of the county leader. I am here specifically to tell you that Haisandao has been recognized as a national advanced collective!!"

Shi Xia tilted her head to look at Uncle Cao, whose face was flushed red with excitement, but he didn't want others to see it.

"My dear uncle, don't hold back. If you're happy, just be happy. It's not like it's something shameful."

"Shi Xia—"

Uncle Cao's sudden wail startled several people nearby.

What happened to Shi Xia?

"Who dares to touch Shi Xia!"

Several men carrying shovels and spades rushed over. When Uncle Cao called out "Shi Xia," anyone who didn't know better would think he was mourning Shi Xia.

After everyone explained, they realized it was a misunderstanding. Uncle Cao, flustered but also concerned about his reputation as the village chief, forced himself to save face, saying, "What are you thinking! If something really happened, wouldn't I stand in front of Shi Xia?"

"Honestly, who do they think they are!"

Shi Xia smiled as she looked at this group of lovely people. After everyone calmed down, she looked at the person who delivered the message.

"Hello, I have a question. Are there any national outstanding individuals? I think I've done a pretty good job."

Shi Xia felt good about herself, and the person opposite her said affirmatively, "Comrade Shi Xia's excellence is obvious to all. Although you were not selected this time, I believe that with your noble character, that day will not be far away!"

Shi Xia looked at the other person; those words were beautifully spoken and pleasing.

No wonder they sent someone to deliver the message!
The other party not only delivered a letter, but also told Shi Xia to hurry up and set off for Beijing to receive the award. The county would reimburse all travel expenses, and a maximum of two people could go.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xia immediately looked at Uncle Cao and asked, "Are you going or not?"

Uncle Cao thought for a moment.

He needs to take charge of the overall situation in the village. What if someone in the village acts recklessly after he leaves and Shi Xia leaves as well?

A fishing team also needs someone.

"Shi Xia, you take Lao Xu with you."

Old Xu is shrewd and can be of help.

"Row!"

Shi Xia looked at the messenger and asked, "Is the train ticket reimbursed by the county a sleeper or a hard seat?"

"Sleeper berth."

"Could you please buy us two soft sleeper tickets? We'll be heading there tomorrow. We'll pack our things today, and could you please get us the necessary permits?"

The messenger wanted to say it was a hard sleeper, but he swallowed his words and decided to go back and ask.

The honor of being recognized as a national advanced collective is not only a source of pride for Haisan Island, but also brings glory to their county. Moreover, Comrade Shi Xia is very capable, so it is very important to maintain good relations with him.

"Okay, Comrade Shi Xia, the temperature is low in the north, please prepare warm clothes."

"Thanks for reminding."

The messenger left on the ferry, and Shi Xia went to the village office with Uncle Cao.

Accountant Xu also arrived.

Uncle Cao first wrote letters of introduction for the two of them, and then stamped many blank seals.

"Take all of these. Write them down if you need anything. Be sure to keep warm on your way out."

Let's skip the word "safety" and focus on keeping warm.

Shi Xia nodded, took the letter of introduction, and went home to pack her things.

After watching Shi Xia leave, Uncle Cao turned to Accountant Xu and began to nag.

"Old Xu, when you go out, you must keep an eye on Shi Xia. If anything happens, you should step up. If you can't handle it, then let Shi Xia take over."

"It's cold up north, so bring more money. I'll go around looking for cloth coupons later, but you should bring them all. When you get there, you two can buy cotton-padded coats, cotton-padded shoes, and things like that. If you don't have enough cloth coupons, you can ask Shi Xia to come first."

"There are so many people in Beijing, a brick falling down could hit an official. You have to be careful. If you're really going to do something, you have to do it in secret."

"If things really come to a bad end, we'll take responsibility. Just don't involve Shi Xia."

Uncle Cao kept rambling on, and Accountant Xu listened with nodding in agreement.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Shi Xia."

"Okay, okay, I don't mind taking care of things at home. It'll take you half a month to go back and forth. I'll see what kind of food you should bring back." "No, I have to hurry home and have my husband make some dry food."

Uncle Cao and Accountant Xu have both left.

Shi Xia, who had taken a few steps and then returned, listened to the whole story.

How afraid are you of her getting into trouble?
The scapegoat has been arranged. Does she look like someone who would cause trouble?
Shi Xia thought about it carefully and realized that she really hadn't. She never caused trouble on her own initiative; she only took action when she was arrested before going abroad.

She felt that there were very few people as reasonable as her.

Shi Xia affirmed herself, shook her head, and went home.

After returning home, Aunt, Xu Danhong, Madam Qu, and Old Madam Qu got busy.

Make food, prepare warm clothes, and if you really don't have warm clothes, sew several pieces of clothing together and take some of the cotton out of the quilt.

In short, the women were very busy, and Shi Xia was chased away.

She simply sat on the rocking chair in the yard, looking at the window with the straw curtain hanging on it; the glass would have to wait a while longer.

The rocking chair rocked back and forth, and Shi Xia became sleepy.

Half-asleep, Shi Xia heard the door open. She opened her eyes and saw Shan Yuancheng sticking out his tongue sheepishly.

"Sister Shixia, I'm sorry, I woke you up."

"No need to apologize, please come in."

Yamamoto Cheng came in carrying a book as thick as his arm, and sat on a small stool, behaving himself obediently.

"Come to me?"

"Hmm, I heard my sister is going to Beijing?"

"Correct."

Yamamoto pulled out a yellowed slip of paper from the book, on which was written an address, a name, and Du Huanian's name.

"Sister, this is what my mother left me. She said I could go to her if I ever had nowhere else to turn."

Shi Xia took the note.

"Is Du Huanian your mother?"

"Yes, my mom is so beautiful!"

There was a deep sense of longing in Shan Yuancheng's eyes, and Shi Xia returned the note to him.

"Keep it safe. This is your mother's way out for you. Your sister doesn't need it, because there's nothing in this world that I can't handle!"

Yamamoto blinked.

"Sister, that math problem from yesterday..."

Shi Xia, who had just managed to project an air of sophistication, instantly lost her composure.

"Except for mathematics, there's nothing I can't solve!"

"Sister, there's also physics..."

Shi Xia tilted her head, her expression serious, and pointed to the gate.

"Yamamoto Cheng, the door is over there. You'd better run before your sister gets ready to beat you up."

Yamamoto chuckled, picked up his books, and stood up.

"Sister, goodbye!"

Ran.

"You brat, you've started making fun of me now."

Shi Xia was not angry at all. All the children in the village liked her very much. She could play with them and never got angry no matter how they played.

However, these children still admire her, just like... the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain admire the Monkey King!
Indeed, Hai San Island is, in a sense, a paradise on earth.

The next morning, Shi Xia and Accountant Xu were dumbfounded when they saw the luggage that the two of them couldn't carry with their four hands.

"Uncle Cao, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Is it a lot? Some of these haven't even been installed yet. It's better to bring more than nothing when you're on a journey. You don't need to take any, let Lao Xu take them!"

Accountant Xu: Thank you.
