Chapter 319 Holding a Victory Celebration
The headquarters of Saihanba Forest Farm was bathed in a golden glow by the warm winter sun.
Red ribbons tied into flower balls adorn the branches.
The red flag fluttered in the biting north wind, making the gray brick houses look festive.
Summer is adjusting the metal microphone on the podium.
My fingertips touched the cool metal mesh, and the white mist I exhaled condensed into tiny ice crystals on the microphone.
"Please be quiet!"
The crackling sound of electricity mingled with Xia Tian's clear voice, suddenly exploding out.
The employees, who had been whispering amongst themselves, seemed to have been put on pause.
"First, let's welcome Comrade Yu Zhenglai, the director of Saihanba Forest Farm, to speak!"
As the summer music faded, enthusiastic applause erupted in the field.
Yu Zhenglai stood up from his chair on the stage and walked to the microphone.
"Comrades, thanks to everyone's concerted efforts..."
"Our Saihanba Forest Farm has achieved a major success in the Horseshoe Pit afforestation campaign!"
"We overcame the sandstorms and harsh environment of Saihanba!"
"The successful afforestation of Horseshoe Pit is of great symbolic significance!"
"Leaders from the Ministry of Forestry also expressed high praise for the success we have achieved in Saihanba."
"After deliberation by the farm leaders, it has been decided to award the title of Advanced Individual of the Forest Farm to the staff and their families who have made outstanding contributions to the afforestation of Mati Keng!"
Yu Zhenglai's rough voice carried throughout the entire forest farm headquarters through the microphone.
This immediately sparked excited discussions among all the staff in the forest farm.
Seeing the excited looks on the faces of the employees below, Yu Zhenglai gestured with his hands.
"Please calm down, everyone!"
Upon hearing Yu Zheng's voice, the discussion within the department immediately quieted down.
"Comrades whose names are called, please come to the front of the platform!"
Summer picked up where Yu Zheng left off and stood in front of the microphone again.
"Comrade Li Tieniu!"
"Comrade Wang Meixiang!"
"..."
As Xia Tian read out each name, a crowd quickly gathered in front of the forest farm's platform.
"Comrade Li Tieniu, is Comrade Li Tieniu here?"
Seeing that Li Tieniu was not among the crowd in front of the podium, Xia Tian called out twice more.
"The blacksmith isn't here; he went to the Imperial Road to find a wife today!"
Listening to the sound of summer, someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
"Since Comrade Tie Niu isn't here, Feng Cheng, come up and help me with this!"
Among the crowd below, Feng Cheng and Zhao Tianshan were whispering to each other.
Feng Cheng was a little confused when he suddenly heard Xia Tian's voice.
"Feng Cheng, I'm talking to you!"
Fortunately, Qin Xuemei spoke up in time, and Feng Cheng came to his senses.
"Xia Gong asked you to collect the commendation and award on behalf of your uncle!"
Hearing Qin Xuemei's reminder, Feng Cheng walked up to the podium in a few steps.
"Next, please invite the principal leaders, Lin Chang, to present certificates of merit to the award recipients!"
Yu Zhenglai looked at the energetic group of people in front of the podium.
He picked up a stack of certificates from the table and began to present them to the employees in front of the stage.
Yu Zhenglai walked up to the employees and solemnly handed them the certificates with both hands.
With each card handed out, he would firmly grasp the other person's hand and offer words of encouragement.
"This is the honor you deserve!"
"I hope you will stay true to your original aspirations and continue to work hard!"
When the employees received their certificates, some had tears in their eyes, while others stood tall with pride on their faces.
Amidst the applause of the forestry workers, the sunlight gilded the certificates in their hands.
It reflects the resolute yet hopeful faces of all the Saihanba afforestation workers.
