To pay back the salaries to the teachers and staff in the town, Shen Huai made a decision to return to the town, or informed Li Feng and others.

Everyone also knows that the teachers and staff have complained a lot in the past two years, and the teaching quality of Meixi Town Middle School and Town Primary School has declined sharply in the past two years, which has a lot to do with this. Except for a few cadres in the town, most of their families are in Meixi Town, and their children or grandchildren are likely to study in the town's primary school or town junior high school, and they also hope to improve the school's teaching quality from the bottom of their hearts.

In the past, there were no conditions, everyone lived a tight life, and there was no way to do things well.

Now there are some conditions, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is in a strong revival, other aspects of economic work, under the auspices of Shen Huai, are also being straightened out step by step, and even everyone is confident that next year to build bridges and roads and raise funds to build houses These two major events, the financial situation of the town next year is naturally very optimistic, and some things naturally seem urgent.

As long as the year-end bonus for administrative staff this year is not less than last year, even if it is less this year, there is nothing unacceptable.

Shen Huai's decision was welcomed by most of the cadres in the town.

He Qingshe didn't care that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, so he summoned people to carry out the work.

All schools are almost closed, and even if there is someone on duty in the school, it may not be the principal; if you call first, if you can't be notified by phone, you will send someone to drive down on a motorcycle to look for it.

The advantage of Shen Huai as the secretary of the party committee is that he is in charge of the overall situation, and specific things can be handed over to others to do. At night, five tables of working meals were held at the Zhuxi Hotel, and the heads of various schools were gathered together, which was regarded as a mobilization meeting. Shen Huai showed his face and said a few words, even if he finished his errand.

Only then did Zhang Xiuyun know that Du Jian had left Meixi Town today, and after running for their family's Chengming these days, this young man who looked like he was only twenty-four or five years old was already the head of the entire Meixi Town.

He Qingshe worked with the heads and financial staff of each school overnight to calculate the back salaries of the teaching staff, and the next day the financial office could send the money to each school, and then distribute it to the teachers and staff through the school, so that everyone could have a good year.

The Meixi Iron and Steel Plant continued to improve in January, with 7,000 tonnes of rebar and other steel output and 23 million monthly sales in January. Due to the slight rebound in rebar prices before the year, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant's profit in January was even higher than that in December, reaching 4 million.

Of course, Shen Huai did not take over the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant until mid-October, and until the end of November, the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant was still reorganizing its production. It has only been two months since the production doubled and profitability was restored from December, and the annual losses could not be flattened.

Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is still losing money every year, so naturally there can be no dividends to be paid to the town.

The year-end bonus distribution method for management and front-line workers will be promulgated at the same time before the staff meeting.

However, the situation in the first year was a bit special, the steel mill was a loss for the whole year, but after the new management team was formed, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant achieved profitability far beyond expectations, and it is unreasonable not to reward it.

Shen Huai temporarily summoned He Qingshe, Li Feng, Guo Quan and other town leaders, as well as Wang Kangsheng, Xu Xiting, Qian Wenhui, Zhao Dong and others from the steel plant for a meeting, and finally decided to spend 1 million to pay the management and front-line workers of the steel plant a year-end bonus.

Front-line workers, team leaders, and even ordinary supervisors are given one to three months' wages as year-end bonuses; the remaining 400,000 yuan will be distributed according to the coefficient within the management team, and each person can have a year-end bonus of 2 to 40,000 yuan.

At the end of the year, in addition to maintaining normal production and operation, the peripheral work has almost stopped, which makes it seem idle, and the financial affairs are even busier at the end of the year.

On the side of the town government, He Qingshe was busy paying back salaries to the teachers and staff in the town, inspecting the holiday safety work of primary and secondary schools in the town, Li Feng was responsible for comprehensive management, looking at the assets to the end of the year, the establishment of the joint venture Ziluo Home Textile was temporarily stopped, and it was delayed until the year before continuing to negotiate, it seems that there is nothing to do with Shen Huai, but the party secretary wants to control the overall situation, even if Shen Huai is trying to push things out, He Qingshe, Li Feng, Huang Xinliang and others are also accustomed to asking him for instructions, reporting, and discussing when they have nothing to do.

At the end of the year, the town leaders who were idle should also go out and visit the families of the five guarantees from door to door, and comfort the lonely and widowed elderly people in the town's nursing home.

In addition to doubling the condolence money (after the actual doubling, in addition to the grain and oil New Year's goods, there is only 100 yuan of condolence money), Shen Huai is also responsible for the visit of the five guarantee families in Xuetangqiao Village.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, there was heavy snow in the world, and it did not stop from morning to noon, and from time to time the heavy snow fell down, so that people could not open their eyes.

The snow on the road was rotting into mud, but the fields and roofs were already white, as if covered with a thick quilt.

In Shen Huai's impression, he never remembered that there had been such a heavy snow in Donghua in winter. The weather forecast said that the snow would continue to fall for a long time, and when I came out of the town at noon, I was worried about whether some of the dilapidated houses would be able to support it.

Accompanied by Huang Xinliang and Chu Qiang, and converging with the village party secretary of Xuetangqiao Village and others, Shen Huai also visited the last villager group. Due to the rain yesterday and heavy snow since early morning today, the mud road down from the village road was trampled into a mud puddle for people's cars, so Shen Huai and the others parked the car on the village road and walked in from the edge of the relatively dry and hard wheat field.

"In front of you is Old Man Kou's house. The village party secretary worked hard to post it over and help Shen Huai hold the umbrella to block the snow.

Shen Huai was wearing a ski shirt inside and a rain and snow jacket outside, he was not afraid of this snowflake hitting his body, but it was not good to drive the Xuetang Qiao Village Party Secretary to the side, and he had to lead the way in front.

Shen Huai knew that Kou Xuan was discharged from the hospital today, although the injury was not completely healed, but no one in the countryside liked to spend the Spring Festival in the hospital. Even if you go to the hospital after the Spring Festival, you have to be discharged home before the Spring Festival.

On such a snowy day, Shen Huai didn't know if Xiao Li had picked up Kou Xuan from the hospital, anyway, Xiao Li spent all day in the town health center after the holiday, and Shen Huai and Chen Dan didn't care about her.

Old man Kou's house is a thatched house with earthen walls, which looks extremely shabby, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the roof, which makes Shen Huai worry about whether such a simple house can withstand the pressure of snow.

The old wooden door was hidden, and Xiao Li could be heard laughing inside, and her orange bicycle was placed next to the wall, Shen Huai couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head: On such a snowy day, she didn't want to think about how to go back later.

The village party secretary ran over and knocked on the door, Xiao Li opened the door, saw Shen Huai, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Shen Huai, what are you doing here?"

Shen Huai reached over and rubbed Xiao Li's head, and said with a smile: "I won't come to pick you up, how can you go back later?" Xiao Li stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.

The village party secretary didn't know what the relationship between Shen Huai and the beautiful girl in front of him was, but looking at their relationship, they must have been close to each other, and saw Old Man Kou poking his head out and said, "Old man Kou, Secretary Shen in the town has paid New Year's greetings to you in the past......"

Old man Kou hurriedly walked out and said to Shen Huai: "This is really, it's a big New Year, Secretary Shen, you are also a busy person, what year did you come to pay us a greeting?"

Shen Huai knew that Old Man Kou was a solid person, and he spoke very directly, and said with a smile: "Party members and cadres are public servants of the people. We must first ensure that the masses of the people can have a good New Year, and only when we are public servants can we dare to sit at home and wait for the New Year with peace of mind......"

When I walked into the house, there were two earthen houses, the hall doubled as a kitchen, a mud floor, a stove and a table, and a copper water smoke was placed on the table. There was also a small bed in the corner, which I thought was slept by Old Man Kou.

The bedding on the bed was patched, and the cotton wool was still exposed, and hay was spread underneath. The north window of the hall was opened, there was no glass, it was covered with plastic sheeting and newspaper, and a hole was broken, and the cold wind blew in. The temperature inside the house was about the same as the outside of the house, so you didn't feel any warmth.

Shen Huai walked into the back room with his head low, Kou Xuan was lying on the bed, not sitting up yet, as if he was embarrassed and sad that the embarrassment of the family was exposed to outsiders, his little face was red, and there were tears in his eyes.

The little girl is no longer like when she first saw her, her face is white, her nose is straight, except for being a little thin, her appearance is quite delicate, and her eyes are big and bright, but they look too sharp......

Shen Huai looked up at the roof and the earthen wall supporting the beams, he had no time to take care of the little girl's emotions, and no matter what the village party secretary and Huang Xinliang and Old Man Kou said in the hall, he turned around and went out the door and went around to the back of the house.

Huang Xinliang and Chu Qiang saw Shen Huai's strange reaction, chased him out, and asked, "What's wrong with Secretary Shen?"

"With such a big snowstorm, the weather forecast says that it will be all night, and this house can't afford it!"

"......" Huang Xinliang and Chu Qiang were stunned.

Shen Huai didn't explain anything to Huang Xinliang and Chu Qiang, so he walked back to the house and said to Old Man Kou: "Donghua hasn't encountered such a heavy snow today for many years. I'm afraid you can't eat this house, you and Kou Xuan still have to live in the town today, I'll let the car send you, at least wait until the snow stops, and then you can come back......"

"It's okay, what can happen when it snows?" said Old Man Kou, shaking his head, "This house is only sinned by rain." ”

Donghua is located in the south, which is a decent building, and when designed, the standard of snow protection is much lower than that of northern towns.

In the south and Linhai, if you want to say that the typhoon is passing, as soon as the government greets you, the masses move quickly, but they are very paralyzed and careless in preventing snow disasters, that is, Huang Xinliang and Chu Qiang do not have the spirit and awareness to prevent snow disasters.

Shen Huai came from an industrial management background, and his training in disaster prevention and safety was more professional than that of any ordinary official. How thick the snow pressure this roof can withstand, Shen Huai can roughly estimate it when he looks at it, this is obviously not the ability of Huang Xinliang and Chu Qiang.

This snow will really stop tomorrow morning according to the weather forecast, and the house may collapse violently.

Shen Huai was also scared into a cold sweat, there were hundreds of extremely dangerous houses that were similar to Old Man Kou's house in the whole town, if he hid in the office today, I am afraid that he would not have the special ability to prevent snow disasters......

Shen Huai also secretly felt: This number one is not easy to be a leader! To be a good leader, one needs to have experience and calmness in dealing with various breakthrough problems. This is also the main reason why many young officials with deep backgrounds start as deputies at the local level and do not allow them to take up the position of leader easily.
