The news that Li Qingyun, who was 24 years old, was unusually promoted to a deputy department-level cadre soon spread throughout Shun'an City.

In addition to everyone's amazement, many people also really began to face up to this famous young cadre.

These days, Li Qingyun has received countless phone calls.

From cadres who were close to him, such as Xiao Kezhi, Liu Wanqing, and Jiang Xiaohong from Lianhua Township, to several members of the Standing Committee of Yuanbei County, such as Xue Mei, director of the Propaganda Department, and Zhang Wenbin, director of the Organization Department, they all called to congratulate them.

Li Zhanguo, secretary of the Yuanbei County Party Committee, also called Li Qingyun.

On the phone, Li Zhanguo sighed for a while.

In his words, in retrospect, it was the best choice to let Li Qingyun transfer to Shahe County. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Li Qingyun to reach such a height so quickly.

What Secretary Li Zhanguo said to himself was naturally from the bottom of his heart. Of course, Li Qingyun could only express his gratitude to him, and the respect in his tone did not reduce a little.

In addition, when talking to Li Qingyun, Li Zhanguo also brought him unexpected news. It was Teacher Tang from Lianhua Township Middle School who also entered the County Education Bureau by chance and officially entered the official career.

Regarding Teacher Tang Yuan's politics, to be honest, Li Qingyun is not mentally prepared at all.

In his opinion, regardless of the hardships of the conditions, Mr. Tang came from the big city to such a poor and dilapidated place as Lianhua Township, which is very lofty in terms of ideology.

Moreover, from the bits and pieces of daily life, Li Qingyun can feel that Mr. Tang is really very loving and patient with the children.

But why did she give up the career she pursued and turn to politics? This is something that Li Qingyun has some trouble figuring out.

After hanging up Secretary Li Zhanguo's phone, Li Qingyun pondered silently for a moment, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Tang Yuan's phone.

The phone rang two or three times, and it was connected.

"Hey, Qingyun, is it Qingyun?" On the other end of the phone, Tang Yuan's voice was still so clear.

"It's me, Teacher Tang......" Li Qingyun responded, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

However, Tang Yuan immediately guessed the purpose of Li Qingyun's call. She chuckled and said, "Qingyun, did you come to this call to ask me about work?"

Li Qingyun was stunned, but still didn't lie, and nodded sincerely: "Well, Teacher Tang." I'm a little curious and don't know why you chose this path......"

Perhaps because he felt that his words might be a little ambiguous, Li Qingyun hurriedly explained: "Teacher Tang, I didn't say that there was anything wrong with politics, I just felt a little abrupt!"

Tang Yuan wasn't very angry, she said indifferently: "In fact, there is a certain element of chance in this matter. However, I don't want to teach anymore, even if it weren't for this fortuitous factor......"

"Why is this?" Hearing Tang Yuan's resolute words, Li Qingyun asked with some puzzlement.

Tang Yuan was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It's because of Zhang Xiaohua, do you remember, Qingyun?"

When Li Qingyun heard this, the figure of the cute little girl wearing a torn cotton jacket immediately appeared in his mind. He hurriedly responded: "Remember, it's your favorite little girl, the one with the best grades!"

"Well, Qingyun, your memory is so good!" Tang Yuan praised, and his voice gradually fell silent.

Feeling that Teacher Tang Yuan's mood was not very stable, Li Qingyun naturally didn't chase after her, but just silently waited for her to come to her senses.

After a long while, Tang Yuan slowly opened her voice and said, "Zhang Xiaohua is married......

"Ah?!" Hearing this, Li Qingyun was confused.

In my memory, this Zhang Xiaohua is already in the second year of high school at most, sixteen or seventeen years old, this is all married? What does the leader of Lotus Township do to eat, and he doesn't even bother to ask about this kind of thing?

Just when Li Qingyun's thoughts were unstable, Tang Yuan had already muttered and explained: "Zhang Xiaohua is from the Buyi ethnic group, and her age has reached the minimum requirements......

Hearing this, Li Qingyun gradually understood. Feelings, Lotus Township, Jiang Xiaohong, Liu Wanqing, they all know. Legally, there is certainly nothing wrong with it.

However, even so, Li Qingyun still couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Tang, what the hell is going on?"

Tang Yuan sighed deeply and said, "Zhang Xiaohua's grandmother passed away not long ago due to a serious illness. Her mother owed a lot of debts in order to treat the elderly, and she was almost desperate. In the end, there was no way, Zhang Xiaohua took the initiative to propose it and promised to marry herself to a large family in a neighboring village. Her mother couldn't stop her, and in the end she could only cry and watch as she was carried into the car......"

"On the day of the wedding, I also went to the scene. Tang Yuan's voice was surprisingly calm, "Qingyun, do you know what Zhang Xiaohua's last sentence was to me?" She said to me that she has been like this in her life, and she only hopes that in the future, her children will be able to study in the classroom with peace of mind and fulfill their unfulfilled wishes......

After listening to Tang Yuan's story, Li Qingyun's heart felt a little caught, and it hurt very much.

He blamed himself a little, and even complained about Tang Yuan. If she had informed herself about this kind of thing earlier, maybe the result would not have been so bad.

"Qingyun, don't think about it. This has nothing to do with you. Even if you are willing to help, can you help one Zhang Xiaohua, can you help ten, a hundred Zhang Xiaohua?"

Tang Yuan said lightly: "From this matter, I have figured out one thing. Education is a thing that must be built on a certain economic basis. I can teach my children well what they are learning, but I can't change the fate of the vast majority of them who are poor. After all, there are only one or two ...... in Lianhua Township who can be admitted to university every year."

"Sometimes, life is really unfair. Tang Yuan's voice seemed to be a little distant, and it seemed to be close at hand, "Those children in rich areas, even if they don't study hard, they can have a good place to go and a bright future in the future." This point cannot be changed by children in poor areas, no matter how hard they try. ”

Tang Yuan's words, every sentence hit Li Qingyun's heart. He said in a hoarse voice, "Teacher Tang, I understand what you mean. However, I still can't understand what you're doing. At least, you're a teacher, and you've changed the fate of one or two children, right?"

"No, Qingyun, you're wrong!" Tang Yuan faintly denied, "Even if there are one or two college students in the village, there may not be a better fate." ”

"In Zhang Xiaohua Village, a female college student who walked out the year before last. After entering the school, I was not able to communicate with people because the basic knowledge was not strong enough. In the end, he suffered from depression, and finally jumped from the twelve-story teaching building, and died ......"

Tang Yuan's tone was a little cold, but he was extremely calm: "These two things touched me deeply. Politics may not be able to change much. But at least, I have a chance to lead the villagers out of poverty and become rich like you. That's why I gave up my job as a teacher......"
