Before Zhenhua left, Director Zou and Accountant Zhang of the Education Commission came to visit the old master again and groveled.

The old master lay on the bed, gasped with his mouth open, and said, "Dongwan Primary School will not be restored, my old man...... Don't blink an eye!"

Director Zou pulled Zhenhua out of the door and said as if begging for mercy: "Village Chief Zhenhua, you are good, help us persuade the old master!"

Zhenhua took out a cigarette, gave one to Director Zou, lit it himself, and sighed: "Director Zou, you can do it well, help our children in Dongwan Village." If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you just look at the face of the old master, is it okay? An old man, who doesn't want a penny, does not hesitate to put his old life on the line for the sake of his children, do you say, is it worth your touch?"

Director Zou sighed: "I don't have the right to decide!"

Zhenhua wanted to get angry, but he held back and said with a smile: "That's okay, you take the old master to the county bureau and let the old master go and talk to the county bureau leader." ”

"Isn't this making things difficult for me? I'm a cadre, and I can't do things that don't conform to the procedures!" Director Zou rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Tomorrow you will come with me and go to the county bureau to report." The county bureau agreed, I have absolutely no opinion, and I strongly support you!"

Zhenhua smiled and went back to the ward to inform the old master.

Early the next morning, Zhenhua dressed up, packed up his spirits, and followed Director Zou to the county education bureau.

The leaders of the bureau patiently listened to Zhenhua's appeal, listened to Director Zou's report, and said: "Our bureau will investigate this matter, discuss and discuss, and notify you after three days." ”

Zhenhua thanked him, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

Three days later, the opinion of the county bureau came down, Dongwan Primary School could not be fully restored, but, as a teaching point of Hedong Township Central Primary School, next semester, the first, second and third grades will be reopened!

As for teachers, Dongwan Village recruits private teachers from the local government, with a salary of 210 yuan per month, and the Township Education Committee is responsible for solving the problem.

The old master was finally happy, and showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time.

Zhenhua was a little happy, but also a little headache, because the village was responsible for the signboard private teachers.

The township education committee only gave three places, saying that they could only pay the salaries of these three teachers.

Zhenhua held a meeting with the old master Ge Shoudao and others to discuss, finalized a few candidates, entrusted the old master to investigate, and asked the candidates what they meant. After all, two hundred and one per month, this salary is not high.

Among the candidates is Qi Lei's sister Qi Hongxia. Hongxia graduated from junior high school and is eighteen years old this year.

There were still two months before the start of school in the fall, but the old master acted immediately and quickly finalized three teachers, asking Zhenhua and the village to decide.

Zhenhua and Ge Shoudao had no opinion, and they also respected the old master's decision.

As a result, Dongwan Village has three more private teachers, including Qi Hongxia.

Zhenhua privately found Teacher Tian Kaifang and asked her to give these three girls a simple training. At this time, Tian Kaifang was already the principal of the Central Primary School and was also facing retirement. She is from Dongwan Village, and it is related to the education of her hometown, so she naturally did not shirk and agreed.

On September 1, East Bay Primary School resumed classes, and the sound of reading sounded again.

Those children in the lower grades were finally freed from the pain of daily travel.

The old master smiled happily and walked around the school every day on crutches.

However, Zhenhua felt a little bleak. There are only 50 students in three grades. How long can this teaching point last?

At the same time, the children of the fourth, fifth and sixth years old are still studying in the township central primary school, and they still have to walk a long way every day, which is still very hard.

Zhenhua is thinking, planning, convening a meeting of village cadres, asking for funds from the township, going to the county to run the road, preparing to build the road after the year, and build the dirt road leading to the town into a gravel road!

At the village cadre meeting, Ge Shoudao smiled bitterly: "I support Zhenhua's idea, but where does the money come from? This road is too long, if it is a one-mile road or a two-mile road, we can also raise funds to repair it." How much does it cost to build this five-mile-long dirt road?

As the village secretary, Ge Shoudao naturally wanted to do something.

Moreover, after this term, he also retired and wanted to leave a name.

Cai Xingmei also shook her head: "The township has already given a clear answer, and it will not be funded." Relying on the village to raise funds, it is impossible to build it. ”

He Nailiang also said: "That's right, Hedong Township is so big, and no village has built a road." There is no precedent in the whole township, and if we go to ask for money, we will definitely not come. ”。

Zhenhua insisted on his opinion and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. I think that as long as we get started, the rest will be easier to do. In other words, if we repair a little bit every year and slowly repair it, it is better than now. It's better to sit and talk about the Tao. ”

Ge Shoudao thought for a while and asked, "Do you have a specific idea for your work?" ”
