Chapter 15 Wishful thinking

"In the first month when I became the deputy mayor of Montenegro and was in charge of science, education, culture and health in Montenegro, I encountered something that I will never forget. The principal of Daliushu Primary School, Gu Ninghan, a native of this mountain and the most beloved teacher in the eyes of the villagers, fell in front of me in the lecture hall.

Principal Gu is only 38 years old, and he is in the prime of his life. It stands to reason that such a person has absolutely no physical problems. But it was for the sake of these children in Montenegro that he gave up the opportunity to stay in the county seat and returned here without hesitation, and he taught for twenty years. Did he faint in the lecture hall for what he was doing?"

Su Mu asked and answered to himself, not ready to give Ye Xi any chance to answer, and in the smoke that rose around, he continued: "Because Teacher Gu's body collapsed! Every month, he was reluctant to spend that pitiful salary, except for a part of it, the rest was taken out to buy books, pens and books. As long as he is free, he will go to the mountains to pick mountain goods, take them to the town to sell them for money and buy books.

He once fell down a mountain and broke one of his right legs. However, he gritted his teeth and just treated casually at the town clinic, and then went back to school. Originally, my health was not very good, my food was poor, and my house was damp and dark. Finally, on the day I came to the school, on the day he had been teaching for 20 years, Mr. Gu collapsed. ”

"Down?" Ye Xi said in surprise.

"That's right, it's down!" Su Mu's eyes were deep, where did he look like a college student who had just graduated for a year, the kind of aura emanating from his body, so profound, so mature, and so lethal.

"Teacher Gu was sent to the hospital by myself, and when I got there, I found that he was terminally ill. I can still give lectures these days, all thanks to perseverance. When the villagers of Montenegro Town learned the news of Teacher Gu's illness, every family donated money regardless of how poor they were, and some even knelt down in front of the doctor, crying and begging them to cure Teacher Gu.

It's hard to imagine these simple villagers lining up outside the ward every day, waiting for the hospital to draw blood. They smoked as much as they wanted, and no one said a word. Many of these villagers were also taught by Teacher Gu, and they really wanted to make Teacher Gu better. ”

When she said this, Ye Xi's face was already covered with tears, and after taking the handkerchief handed over by Su Mu, she choked up and said, "Then what later?"

"Later?" a wry smile appeared at the corner of Su Mu's mouth, "Later, this son of a bitch didn't keep Teacher Gu's life, so he finally went." I stayed with him when he closed his eyes. He struggled and begged me that if it was possible, I must let all these children in Montenegro study, and not let one of them drop out of school. ”

Su Mu threw down the cigarette butt, his eyes were a little moist, but he smiled bitterly and lit another cigarette, using the smoke to hide this emotion, while showing a smile on his face.

"Ye Xi, I don't want to be a saint, I just want to be an official to have more authority, to really do something practical for these children, so that they can be the same as other children. Sit in a spacious and bright classroom, read your favorite books, and do what you love. For this reason, no matter how dangerous and difficult the road ahead is, I will not hesitate to move forward.

Maybe you, like most people, don't believe what I say, but I didn't want to make you believe it at all, I promised Mr. Gu to continue his dream. I'm just doing this for peace of mind. ”

"No, I believe in you!" Ye Xi blurted out, his face full of anxiety, staring at Su Mu's eyes, Ye Xi let the tears slide down and said loudly: "Although I haven't experienced what you said, I believe in you." ”

Just believe!

There is no other complicated reason!

As long as you say it, I will believe it unconditionally!

"Okay, Ye Xi, don't cry, see no, those children are all looking at us. Don't let them think I'm bullying you!" Su Mu's mood gradually calmed down and said with a smile.

"Bully me! If you dare to bully me, I'm not done with you!" Ye Xi burst into tears and laughed, and Su Mu, who looked like a pear blossom with rain, was stunned on the spot.

"Stupid!" Ye Xi thought beautifully in his heart, but he said something against his heart. "By the way, Su Mu, I really wanted to hear you mention it during dinner yesterday, saying that the Xingtang County Education Bureau wants to let you carry out the renovation of the dilapidated houses of the primary school in Heishan Town, and it won't be here, right?"

"Yes!" Su Mu couldn't help but head up for a while when he mentioned this, "Ye Xi, I originally wanted to keep you here for a few more days, but this matter is very urgent." If you can, we'll go back to town tonight, and you'll drive back to Shengjing tomorrow. You take three of the four antiques, and they all will be auctioned for me. ”

"What? Are you going to use this money to renovate the school?" Ye Xi said in surprise: "This is your official business in Xingtang County, doesn't the county finance allocate funds? What do you do with the finance of Heishan Town? If a primary school like Daliushu is converted into a new bungalow, it won't cost much money, and 60,000 yuan is enough." Could it be that the dignified county and town governments can't even come up with 60,000 yuan, and they still want you to sell antiques to do this?"

Ye Xi, who grew up in the house of the official eunuch, even if he did not set foot in the system, still knew these basic rules, and it was because he knew the Tao that he was very puzzled.

"This" Su Mu smiled helplessly.

"Is it because of the secretary of the county party committee?" Ye Xi guessed with a roll of his eyes that to become a master's student majoring in economics at Jiang University, Ye Xi's head was definitely smart. She is not a vase, but a woman with real connotation.

Ye Xi looked at Su Mu's expression and knew that he had guessed well, and immediately became angry, "What is this? Is the communiqué a personal vendetta? Is he still worthy of being the secretary of the county party committee? No, I have to call Uncle Li." ”

"Wait a minute!" Su Mu hurriedly said, grabbed Ye Xi's hands and said very seriously: "Ye Xi, promise me, you don't care about this matter, leave it to me with full authority, I can solve it." ”

Bang bang!

Being held tightly by Su Mu's hands, Ye Xi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he blushed and whispered: "What you say is what it is, but if Su Mu really has something, remember to call Mayor Li Xinghua, and he will help you." ”

"Understood!" Su Mu smiled.

"Can you let go of my hand?" Ye Xi said in a low voice.

"Ahh

By the time the two of them returned to Black Mountain Town, it was not too late, it was almost noon, so they still had a casual meal at Wang Laosan's. Because he was worried about this, Ye Xi took three antiques and left without staying even one night.

Before leaving, Ye Xi said to Su Mu: "It's not impossible to use your own money to do the family's business, but doing that would really violate the rules of officialdom." You don't have to worry about this matter, I will sell the antiques as the first pot of gold for the two of us to start our careers. As for the funds for the renovation of the dilapidated buildings of the school, I will help people donate funds. If you wait for me for five days, I will definitely give you an answer within five days. ”

Su Muzhi said that Ye Xi would never say big things, she said that five days would definitely be five days, and sent her away with a smile, and after not worrying about the funds for the renovation of the dilapidated house of the primary school, he began to contact the construction team. Here, we will do it ourselves, and as soon as the funds are in place, we will be able to start construction immediately.

That's more than enough time for a month!

Mayor's office.

"Mayor of the town, Su Mu's kid has been looking for the construction team for the past few days, except for the fact that he went to the Daliushu Village Primary School with that woman to deliver books once, and he looks like he is like that, as if he really has money and can start construction at any time. Yang Hu said.

"Really?" Yang Song narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully, "I'd like to see where he gets the money from." Don't think that you can throw money here with a good car, you must know that no one is so stupid. ”

"But, if it's true, Mayor Mayor, Su Mu has money, and it's no problem to build a few houses. It's a piece of fat, and you can't just let it go. Yang Hu hesitated.

Yes, what if it's true, then what can I do? Don't just don't clean up Su Mu at that time, and give him a political achievement for nothing, then you will be embarrassed and lose a lot of money, the most important thing is that you can't pay it to Secretary Xie. No, we have to think of a perfect solution.

"Mayor Mare, there's one more thing I need to report to you. Yang Hu looked at Yang Song's expression and knew that his words were working, so he didn't say more.

"What's the matter?" Yang Song said indifferently.

"It's Xu Yan, the new deputy director of our police station, you said that we have a big slap here, there is no oil and water, with me, the director, Zhang Weiguo, the deputy director, and four policemen, it will be up to the sky, why did such a guy come out again? And Xu Yan has been relatively close to Su Mu these days, going to the village, contacting the construction team, and he is everywhere. Yang Hu said angrily.

The police station that covers the sky with one hand, now because of Xu Yan's arrival, is not only disobedient but has the meaning of starting a new mountain, how can Yang Hu calm down?

"You don't have to worry about Xu Yan's affairs, he just came here to stay up for a few days, and sooner or later he will leave, just do your part!" Yang Song didn't want to explain more on this issue, and said lightly.

"Understood! I'll do something!" Yang Hu took on his police hat and turned around and left the office, and after his figure disappeared, Yang Song hesitated, but still dialed a phone, and a smile appeared on his face the moment he connected.

"Director Gao, it's me, Yang Song of Montenegro Town, I want to talk to you about something first"

Just when Yang Song was planning here, Su Mu was really like what Yang Hu said, and Xu Yan was sitting on a roadside stall in the county seat of Xingtang County with a bottle of beer in the big sun, drinking without scruples.
