Last year, the province's education funds were invested at 8 billion yuan, 34 colleges and universities, more than 500 high schools and technical secondary schools, more than 2,000 junior high schools, 15,000 primary schools, and more than 30 special schools. Just such a small amount of money, you calculate it yourself, just solving the salary of more than 200,000 teachers is a bottomless pit, for this matter, the provincial and municipal education departments are not anxious. You think that I will go to the relationship just for my promotion, but you don't hope that when the decision is made, you can arrange more funds for our education system. If the central government and the province can give me an extra 10 billion, of course I will be able to do everything, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Seeing that Xu Ren was angry, Xu Xiyu could only back down in his attitude, and he didn't dare to hold his neck and fight him again.

Xu Ren has been retired for a few years, but Xu Xiyu still enjoys a lot of his shadow, if it weren't for Xu Ren, how could he Xu Xiyu be able to climb to such a high position.

Just a few years ago, before Xu Ren retired, Xu Xiyu was only a department-level cadre in Zhennan City, and the organization may have taken into account Xu Ren's contributions, so when Xu Ren was in Xu Ren, Xu Xiyu was transferred to the Provincial Education Commission as a deputy director, and officially entered the ranks of department-level cadres.

After working for a few years, he has been converted from deputy to regular, and he is inseparable from Xu Ren. Once, the provincial leaders came to visit Xu Ren at home, which was an important means for our country to respect the old comrades.

In front of outsiders, Xu Ren couldn't say that his son was not good, so he praised him twice. Perhaps it was Xu Xiyu's carefully prepared report materials that moved the provincial leaders, or perhaps it was Xu Ren's face-to-face praise and praise that made the provincial leaders have to pay more or less attention. Not long after, Xu Xiyu was able to turn positive.

However, since that time, Xu Ren has no longer expressed any opinions on Xu Xiyu's work, and Xu Xiyu also understands that it is difficult for Xu Ren to help him in the future, so he has to find his own support.

In officialdom, if there is no reliance, it will be duckweed drifting in the wind.

Song Qiaoshan's father and Xu Ren were old comrades-in-arms and old colleagues, but when he participated in the southern battle in 79, he died in an accident. It is precisely because of this that Xu Ren took better care of Song Qiaoshan and his mother, and also married his daughter to Song Qiaoshan.

Of course, the marriage between Song Qiaoshan and Xu Jie was decided by both parents many years ago. At that time, the relationship between the two families was very good, and I thought that it would be better if the children could come together.

But when she got married, Xu Jie regretted it a little, but Xu Ren was very persistent. Xu Ren couldn't let people gossip about him, and felt that Song Qiaoshan's father was gone, so he repented of the marriage of the poor and loved the rich, and felt that Song Qiaoshan was not worthy of his daughter. Moreover, if Xu Jie does not marry Song Qiaoshan, Xu Ren will also feel that he has no shame to see his old comrades-in-arms underground.

Of course, Xu Ren is not a completely feudal person, if Song Qiaoshan's character is not good, he will not push his daughter Wang Huokeng into it. Xu Ren's insistence that Xu Jie marry Song Qiaoshan is largely due to his admiration for Song Qiaoshan and the qualities that existed in Song Qiaoshan in their early years.

Xu Ren strongly supported Song Qiaoshan when he left the army and took the initiative to choose to work at the most difficult grassroots level, not only with lip service, but also with Xu Jie driven to Gaoshan County, hoping that they could work together below to create their own tomorrow.

If Song Qiaoshan is willing to stay in the provincial capital to work, then Xu Jie may marry if he marries, after all, they once had a relationship, and Song Qiaoshan is not bad. But this guy is going to work in the township where the bird doesn't, and he was assigned along with her, Xu Jie is very troubled, so their relationship has been in turmoil and instability.

Song Qiaoshan was reluctant to stay in Zhennan also had his own ideas, on the one hand, he was punished when he left the army, and on the other hand, Song Qiaoshan was unwilling to let people look down on him, saying that he completely relied on the Xu family. If Song Qiaoshan stays in Zhennan to work, he can think of it, and he will be taken care of everywhere.

The ambition of a man in Song Qiaoshan made him choose to sink, stay away from the Xu family, and rely on his own ability to do more. Even if he wants to return to Zhennan, Song Qiaoshan is determined to come back by his own ability and ability, rather than taking care of nepotism.

Song Qiaoshan helped Xu Xiyu speak on his face, but deep down, he didn't think so.

It is true that the investment in education in Langzhou is less, but the more this time, the more it is necessary to take care of the needy groups in difficult areas. For example, in rural primary schools, the problem of substitute teachers is very good, and if a basic living guarantee cannot be solved, how many people are willing to teach and educate people with peace of mind. Even if they are willing, on the one hand, they want to farm, on the other hand, they want to teach, the conditions are poor, and the lack of teaching aids can be imagined, and the quality of their education can be imagined.

What is the use of improving the schools in the city if there are no high-quality primary schools and township middle schools below to provide high-quality students? Moreover, basic education is fundamental, and basic education is the core of improving the quality of the people.

Take higher education as an example, just building one or two famous and powerful universities cannot support such a big country, and higher education and vocational education need to go hand in hand. There can be key points, but resources must not be excessively tilted, and those who are rich cannot be so rich that they are rich and those who are poor are going to die, and that is not conducive to social stability.

When he was the head of Duge Township, no matter how poor the township was, Song Qiao Shandong had to maintain the operation of the rural primary school. Teachers from many surrounding townships and towns have gone to the county to petition for wages and benefits, but there has not been a single case in Duge Township in the past two years. Sometimes, Song Qiaoshan would rather get a card for the salary of township cadres than ensure that the teachers in the village who are more difficult and poorer have something to eat.

After taking a sip of tea, under the soothing of Song Qian's grandmother, Xu Ren calmed down a little.

"Forget it, I know it's useless for me to say more, you guys have stiff wings one by one, and you're going to fly alone. Anyway, I've said a lot about what I should say, and in the future, you can ask for more blessings. Xu Ren said and stood up on his knees.

"Old man, where are you going, eat right away. Song Qian's grandmother stood up and asked.

Xu Ren waved his hand: "I'll go to the study and sit down." ”

"If you want to sit down, you have to eat first, we don't wait for them, eat first, wait for dinner, and then let Qiao Shan and you go to the study to play a game of chess, how about it." Song Qian's grandmother persuaded.

"Yes, Dad, I called just now, Xu Jie and they said that they would be home in a few minutes, so let's eat some first." Song Qiaoshan followed.

Hu Mingchen sat next to him, whether he wanted to stand or not, whether he wanted to say something and it was difficult to say, and he didn't know what to say properly. In short, Hu Mingchen was embarrassed.

Now Hu Mingchen understands why he hesitated when he said that he was going to come to pay New Year's greetings to Song Qiaoshan, this is really a whirlpool of human sophistication, and he really shouldn't come to stir it up.

At this moment, the door opened again, and Xu Jie and her sister-in-law Yue Yurong came in hand in arm. The two of them were dressed in dresses, dressed up brilliantly, and the newly bought small bags in their hands looked like high-end goods.

As soon as the two entered the house, they first noticed the gift that Hu Mingchen put there on the wall at the door. Seeing that the gift was so ordinary, the eyes of the two showed disdain almost at the same time.

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing here, my sister-in-law and I are back, you don't need to stand up like this to greet you, by the way, who has been here at home, you can actually get this kind of thing." Xu Jie glanced at the living room and looked left and right.

Hu Mingchen was sitting with his back to the door, so Xu Jie didn't find out about his existence for the first time.

"You girl, you don't understand how to be polite and affectionate, and you talk nonsense all day long, which was brought by Qiao Shan's apprentice. Song Qian's grandmother reprimanded Xu Jie with a straight face.

Xu Ren didn't speak, just glared at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie knew very well about the temper of the two old men, and she didn't take it seriously at all, and she still had a smile on her face: "I thought which county magistrate and mayor below were here." ”

"My wife is good, my aunt is good. The gift he brought was so despised that Hu Mingchen felt aggrieved, but now was not the time to hold his breath, he still had to maintain basic politeness.

Seeing Hu Mingchen, Xu Jie just nodded at him and didn't say anything.

Yue Yurong was curious about Hu Mingchen: "Hehe, the young man is quite spiritual, Qiao Shan, this is your apprentice? Hehe, I thought that the apprentice you accepted should be Kong Wu powerful." ”

"Xiao Chen is still in school, passing by the south of the town, so I came to pay a New Year's greeting, and I called him to my house for a meal. Song Qiaoshan responded indifferently to Yue Yurong.

"Just eat, anyway, multiple people have more pairs of chopsticks. After Yue Yurong said a word, he raised his hands slightly towards Xu Xiyu, turned around and laughed: "Husband, look, how about my clothes, I specially bought them to accompany you to go out for the past two days." ”

"Yes, you can. Xu Xiyu said casually.

"Song Qiaoshan, look at my bag, my sister-in-law bought two for five thousand two and gave me one. Xu Jie also lifted the red delicate bag in his hand at this time, "I bought it from the Wisdom Department Store, it's good, Xiaoqian, do you think it looks good?"

"Extravagance. Xu Ren muttered unhappily.

"Xu Jie, sister-in-law, let's eat first, we are waiting for you, Dad may be a little hungry, you put something, I'll go to the kitchen to bring the food out." Now Song Qiaoshan is in the mood to evaluate Xu Jie's bag, so quickly change the topic.

"Hmph, five thousand two to buy two bags, what kind of extravagance, far from it, some people have eight or nine thousand a bag, we are thrifty. Xu Jie pursed her lips and said.

In the past, Xu Jie was still a little afraid of Xu Ren, but in the past two years, as Xu Ren has been retiring for longer and longer, she is working in the county below, and she is far away, and her fear of Xu Ren has greatly decreased.

"Xu Jie, just shut up and say a few words, hurry up and eat. Xu Xiyu took out the posture of the eldest brother and reprimanded.
