Chapter 3 Nepotism

1.

The three people in the room also stood up with the spring. Liu Wenhua said "walk slowly" to the spring, patted his butt and sat down again. Song Xiuwen sent Spring to the door of the office, shook hands with Spring very warmly, and repeatedly told Spring to come to school to play with him. Feng Shu walked more than a dozen steps with Spring, and when he looked back, he saw that Song Xiuwen had already entered the house, and then mysteriously pulled Spring under the willow tree in the corner of the Office of the Education Commission.

"You know this Liu Wenhua, right? When you went to school here, he should have been the principal of the middle school," seeing the spring nodding, Feng Shu continued, "He is now the director of the town education committee, responsible for the education work of the town, and he is in charge of two or three hundred teachers under his hands, and your assignment is also a matter of his words, you understand?"

"Hmm. Spring nodded in response, thinking to himself Could it be that he wanted me to give Liu Wenhua a gift?

"If you have an acquaintance in your family who knows him, you can look for what you should find, say what you should say, and mention what you should mention if you have some conditions, you understand? Feng Shu further nodded at the spring.

"Yes. "Spring should be in his mouth, but he feels very depressed in his heart.

Isn't Feng Shu blatantly soliciting bribes for Liu Wenhua? Could it be that the crows in the world are really ordinary black? It seems that the education system in Hushan Town is not a pure land! But depressed is depressed, how can people not bow their heads under the eaves? In the spring, they had no choice but to nod their heads indiscriminately.

In fact, when Liu Wenhua said that his work was not good to do, he was deliberately reminding spring that what should be done must be done. As Liu Wenhua's confidant, Feng Shu naturally knows it next to him. Seeing Chun's ignorant look, Feng Shu was a little anxious, so he took the opportunity to send Chun to deliberately nudge him again.

Since the establishment of the Hushan Town Education Committee in 1991, the distribution of new teachers has been transferred to the Town Education Committee by the original town government management, and the new teachers have arrived at the Hushan Town Education Committee, no matter how high your education and how much ability you have, you have to obey the kneading of Liu Wenhua, the director of the Town Education Committee, unless you stand behind Liu Wenhua who can't be provoked. Otherwise, you can only honestly make fish and meat on Liu Wenhua's board. These have now become the "unspoken rules" for the assignment of new teachers in Hushan Town.

Didn't Feng Shu himself, when he was assigned to Hushan Middle School in August 1988, secretly give two cigarettes to Liu Wenhua, the principal of Hushan Middle School at the time, so that he was favored by Liu Wenhua? After several years of close contact with Liu Wenhua, Feng Shu knew Liu Wenhua's temper and temperament well.

Feng Shu graduated from high school in 1981, but because his academic performance was so poor, he didn't even take the college entrance examination. Feng Shu, who is accustomed to living a quiet life, travels around all day long, and is unwilling to participate in the labor of the production team at home.

It just so happened that Feng Shu's neighbor was the branch secretary of the village, and Feng Shu's father entrusted him to take advantage of the deputy mayor in charge of education in the town, and let Feng Shu become a private teacher in the primary school in the village. The monthly salary of 30 yuan, 15 yuan to the production team, and 15 yuan is Feng Shu's labor remuneration. Of course, when the production team "recorded work points" and distributed grain at the end of the year, Feng Shu was treated as a standard of "labor consolidation". Counting up, Feng Shu still made a profit.

When he was in the first grade of elementary school in the spring, he happened to be a substitute teacher for Feng Shu, and he taught the spring to read until the third grade, and when he was in the first grade of junior high school in the spring, Feng Shu was admitted to the Huxian Normal Civilian Teacher Class.

In the spring, he graduated from Hushan Middle School in July 1988, and in August of the same year, Feng Shu graduated from Huxian Normal School and was assigned to teach at Hushan Middle School.

A few months later, on New Year's Day 1988, Feng Shu married Liu Shuzhen, a female private teacher in a neighboring village. Liu Shuzhen is very beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable, and once taught him for a year when he was in the fourth grade of spring elementary school.

"Xiaochun, I live in the middle school teacher's family home, come over and play when you have time, let's talk about it. You can also tell me about any difficulties in work and life. Seeing that Spring looked like he was comprehending, Feng Shu's hanging heart was put down, so he reached out and patted Spring on the shoulder affectionately, and at the same time pointed to the direction where his family lived.

Feng Shu understands that if Spring is a "sensible" person, he will not be empty-handed when he goes to his house for the first time.

"Okay, then you can get busy, I'll go back, brother. Hearing Feng Shu say this, Spring casually called him "brother".

"Then I won't send it, there is something going on at school at noon, should I leave you at home for a meal?" There seemed to be a hint of apology in Feng Shu's words.

"No, it's more than ten miles away, I'll be home soon, and my family is still waiting for me." Spring said goodbye to Feng Shu, and then walked towards the school gate.

When the spring was far away, Feng Shu turned around happily and returned to the office of the Education Commission.

"Are people gone?" Seeing Feng Shu come back, Liu Wenhua, who was drinking tea, looked up and asked.

"Well, on this hot day, he should have stayed here for a meal. It seems that Feng Shu still thinks a little bit of friendship with the villagers.

"Isn't there no way to do it? The day before yesterday, I made an appointment with Deputy Mayor Feng for today's lunch, so you can't bring a stranger over for dinner, right? There are outsiders here, and some things are not easy to say. Today's dinner is very important for the two of you!" Feng Shu and Song Xiuwen, who Liu Wenhua said, nodded frequently.

Liu Wenhua, 45, was transferred from the principal of Banshan Township Middle School to Hushan Township Middle School in August 1987 as principal.

From Banshan Township to Hushan Township, although it was a level-level transfer, Liu Wenhua still felt very lucky, glad that he was finally mixed out of the place where he could suffocate cattle in Banshan Township, so Liu Wenhua kowtowed to leaders at all levels and burned incense.

Banshan Township is the most remote township in Huxian County, more than 100 kilometers away from the county seat, in the rolling mountains, because the township government is located in the middle of the mountain, so it is named Banshan Township.

There is only one bus a day to and from the county seat, and it has always been a place where the administrative units of Huxian County assign people who make mistakes in their own departments, or where people who are not treated well by the leaders in their units are exiled.

Liu Wenhua has been transferred to Hushan Town for almost six years. In the first four years, he served as the principal of Toyama Middle School, and his small life was relatively comfortable and comfortable. In the past four years, although the overall teaching level and teaching quality of Hushan Middle School have not improved much, after so many years of careful management, Liu Wenhua has operated Hushan Middle School like an iron bucket. In the past few years, Liu Wenhua's status in Hushan Middle School has been deeply rooted, and no one dares not to listen to his words.

Song Xiuwen and Feng Shu were Liu Wenhua's two most powerful henchmen and assistants when he was in power in middle school, and they were also the middle-level cadres of the school that he single-handedly promoted.

Feng Shu was assigned to Hushan Middle School after graduating from the Huxian Normal Teacher Class in August 1988, and Liu Wenhua was responsible for receiving and arranging it at that time. Feng Shuren is very clever, sweet-mouthed, diligent, and "sensible", so he was favored by Liu Wenhua at that time and arranged him to teach politics in the junior high school.

A few months later, Feng Shu got married, and Liu Wenhua learned that his wife and Feng Shu's daughter-in-law Liu Shuzhen's family turned out to be relatives in the corner. After Feng Shu and his wife got married, they also lived in the family home of the middle school, and took the initiative to go to Liu Wenhua's house to recognize their relatives.

Since then, Feng Shu has visited Liu Wenhua's house almost every day, and every time he comes, he is not empty-handed, either bringing a bottle of wine or a box of cigarettes, or carrying a few handfuls of vegetables. Anyway, Feng Shu now believes that he is related to Liu Wenhua, so he is not afraid of the teachers of Hushan Middle School pointing and gossiping behind his back.

"The mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short", Feng Shu's approach made Liu Wenhua's wife feel a little embarrassed, so she had to urge Liu Wenhua every day to transfer Liu Shuzhen and promote Feng Shu.

Liu Wenhua also listened to his wife's words, and transferred Liu Shuzhen from the village-run primary school to the town middle school through the relationship, and promoted Feng Shu from an ordinary teacher to a middle-level leader of the school step by step.

Feng Shu was promoted to the middle leader of the school by Liu Wenhua in February 1990, and served as the director of the junior and tertiary departments, responsible for the management of teachers and students in the junior and tertiary departments.

Don't look at the director of the junior high school department is just an ordinary middle-level cadre in the school, but he really has the control of the fees for the promotion of junior high school students, the tuition fees for holidays and the number of places for further education. Therefore, the director of the junior and third-level departments has always been one of the key positions that the principal's cronies are competing for.

Feng Shuren is clever, diligent and quick-willed, and he is also willing to contribute to the management of the junior and tertiary departments in an orderly manner. In the summer of 1990 and 1991, the junior and third-level departments led by Feng Shu refreshed the best admission record in the history of Hushan Middle School for two consecutive years.

Song Xiuwen and Liu Wenhua are fellow villagers, both from Lushui Town, Huxian County, and their hometowns are less than three miles apart. After Liu Wenhua was transferred to Hushan Town as the principal, Song Xiuwen came to recognize his fellow countrymen, and he also asked for instructions and reported late every day, and ran to Liu Wenhua's office when he was free. During the New Year's holidays, he will go to Liu Wenhua's hometown to give gifts and holiday greetings to Liu Wenhua's parents, and he is also a delicate character.

Because Liu Wenhua had just established a firm foothold in Hushan Town Middle School, and he urgently needed to train a few of his own henchmen, he took the opportunity of adjusting the school's middle-level cadres in February 1990, and at the same time promoted Song Xiuwen and put him in the important department of logistics as the director of general affairs.

It can be said that in the education system of Hushan Town, the foreheads of Feng Shu and Song Xiuwen are stamped with the imprint of Liu culture. This nepotism between them is well understood by the teachers at Toyama Middle School.

In fact, Song Xiuwen and Feng Shu have always wanted to find an opportunity to take a step forward and become a vice principal of a middle school or a primary school principal in a school district. The final appointment of these positions rests with the town government, and the town education committee only has the power to recommend and make recommendations. Liu Wenhua greeted them two days ago, and today he introduced the deputy mayor in charge of education to them. As for the future development, it can only depend on the respective creations of the two of them.

"By the way, you and this Xiaochun are from the same village, how is the situation at his family?" Liu Wenhua suddenly turned his head and asked Feng Shu.

"I don't know much about that, we live far apart, and I rarely go home, so I can't figure out the specifics. However, the Chun family is a big family in our village, and there are quite a lot of portals..." Feng Shu understood Liu Wenhua's question, and winked at Liu Wenhua as he answered.

Liu Wenhua listened expressionlessly and did not say anything more. Feng Shu's small actions Liu Wenhua naturally understood it and knew that there was a drama in this matter.

But with Song Xiuwen present, Liu Wenhua and Feng Shu didn't pick things out, but just communicated with each other silently with their eyes. This is the tacit understanding between the leader and his henchmen, sometimes the communication between them does not need words, a look, an expression, or a small movement, a smart or caring subordinate is enough to know the leader's intentions.

"I just thought about it, I really worked as a homeroom teacher this spring, but he was relatively thin at that time, and his academic performance was not outstanding, so I was not impressed. I didn't expect that it has only been a few years, and the changes have been so big, and they have all grown into big boys..." Song Xiuwen saw the two talking about spring, and also interjected casually.

Liu Wenhua ignored Feng Shu, and Song Xiuwen shut up in amusement.
