Chapter 157: An Unforgettable Meal

Li Liang also knows the principal's difficulties, Hekang No. 1 Middle School is quite good, the principal Xiao Keming H has a good relationship with the heads and brains of the relevant departments in the county, and the children of the county leaders basically go to school here, and there is no arrears in funding. Unlike some township primary and secondary schools, even the teachers' salaries are often in arrears, let alone others.

"Principal, my family and Zhang Chen's family in our class have partnered to open a restaurant, otherwise in the future, our restaurant will give the school 10 catties of meat, 10 catties of bones, and 100 catties of radishes, cabbage, etc. every day?"

"Well, it's not good!" Xiao Keming said embarrassedly, "This principal can't promise you." It's okay to say that your brother-in-law's investment is okay, and if you do it well, you can still make money. I thank you for your kindness, but I really can't accept it. ”

When Li Liang started school, he encouraged his brother-in-law to invest 10,000 yuan in the school to run a study newspaper for middle school students, but now the newspaper has not yet come out, and he wants his family to donate ingredients to the school. Xiao Keming was worried that Li Liang's thinking was immature and he would promise indiscriminately, and the adults in their family would be embarrassed not to agree when the time came.

Someone did the business of killing, but no one did the loss-making business, and was rejected by Xiao Keming, Li Liang knew that he was emotional. I made some money with my brother-in-law Wang Fagen last year, and I regarded myself as a savior.

His mind turned, and he changed his mind again: "Principal, otherwise, the school will hand over the canteen to my family to operate, and I promise that the canteen will provide a free vegetable to the students every day in the future!"

The current canteen of Hekang No. 1 Middle School is run by the school itself, and several cooks and handymen are placed in it. Although the accounts of the canteen are clear, Xiao Keming can tell from the round figures of several cooks and handymen that their oil and water are good.

At present, in addition to collecting food money from students every day to maintain a balance of income and expenditure, the school also has to pay their salaries of one or two hundred yuan a month. It can be said that the school not only does not make money in the canteen, but also has to invest one or two hundred yuan in the salary every month.

"Classmate Li Liang, it's not that I don't agree to you, it's just that if it's handed over to you to run it, do you still want those masters in the canteen?" Xiao Keming asked.

"No, we'll hire someone ourselves!" Li Liang was not very satisfied with the several masters in the school cafeteria, and every time he went to line up to get food, the master's spoon for cooking was upside down, and the meat fell down.

Once Li Liang went late for lunch and found that the people eating in the canteen were nearing the end, but the vegetables in the bowl of the chef were gone, but there were a lot of large pieces of meat hidden in the soup in the pot.

"That's not going to be easy!" Xiao Keming was puzzled.

In these days, regardless of whether they are in schools or state-owned enterprises, or whether they are administrative staff, public institutions, or workers, as long as they are regular employees, it is almost impossible for a unit to dismiss them.

"Headmaster, you can ask someone from the Education Bureau to transfer them to other schools!" Li Liang said with the idea of the chicken thief.

This is a solution, but this matter has to be operated quietly, and those masters can't be let know, otherwise Xiao Keming doesn't dare to guarantee that he won't be blocked by these masters.

"Okay, but you have to keep this matter a secret from me!" Xiao Keming admonished.

"No problem, but the principal, what should I do these days?" Li Liang assured.

"Starting tomorrow, I will let the canteen provide a free Chinese cabbage or radish soup at noon and evening every day, and I will let Director Luo of Logistics notify you through the radio later!" Xiao Keming said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Principal!"

Li Liang smiled and walked out of the principal's office.

Sure enough, after the bell rang at half past four in the afternoon, the voice of Director Luo of the school's logistics department sounded on the school's radio: "Students, from today onwards, the school will provide a free Chinese cabbage or radish soup in the cafeteria every day at noon and evening, please line up to receive it in need!"

A serving of Chinese cabbage or radish soup is only sold for a penny in the canteen, but many boarding students are still reluctant to eat it. Hearing the sound of the radio, some of them inadvertently showed joy.

Some boarding students have been eating dry meals for several days because they don't know the rules of work and rest in the new semester and don't have enough bottles of food.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the school year, these students brought enough food for a month, the richer ones brought more rice, and the less wealthy people mixed more corn and dried sweet potatoes. They only need to adjust the ratio of rice and water in their lunch boxes every morning and noon, and put them in the steamed rice grid in the boiler room of the canteen to steam, and go directly to their lunch boxes at noon and evening to eat directly.

Tonight's meal may be the most touching meal eaten by some boarders in the third and second grades of junior high school, although a Chinese cabbage or radish soup is simple, it may be something that may be tired of eating at home, but in the eyes of them who have not eaten for a few days, they are not stingy with a delicious meal.

Years later, when this group of students reunited, some of the students who were impressed still remembered this unforgettable meal.

After the evening self-study, Li Liang, Chenchen and Wang Chao went home together as usual. Originally, Li Liang's sister Li Meng wanted to buy a bicycle for Li Liang, but Li Liang refused. Now there are only a few cadres who ride bicycles to and from school, Li Liang doesn't want to be different, and he is with Chenchen, Wang Chao, Junjie and others every morning and evening.

Junjie is only in the first year of junior high school, and he doesn't have to study at night, so he naturally went back early.

"Liangzi, why do you say that the school is so kind today and prepares free vegetables for everyone?" Wang Chao said quickly.

"Maybe some teachers have found out that many students haven't eaten for a few days!" Li Liang didn't want to show his credit, and said vaguely.

"Well, that's a possibility. Wang Chao didn't doubt Li Liang's words, "Two days ago, I also saw Teacher Wang Jin give Su Mingming a piece of green vegetables!"

Su Mingming is Li Liang's classmate, and the conditions at home are not good, and the clothes he wears are all patched. However, he studied very hard, and his grades in the class were second only to Li Liang and Chenchen and a few others. In Li Liang's impression, Su Mingming was admitted to the provincial railway technical college in this year's college entrance examination, and was assigned to the next door Fujian Province after graduation. After graduating from the Regional Teachers College, Li Liang stayed in Hek County to work, and the two basically did not intersect.

I have to say that in recent years, many teachers have silently paid for their students without asking for anything in return. The reason why Li Liang is willing to return to the school in his life is because of the influence of these teachers. In particular, after graduating from secondary school in his last life, Li Liang taught in township primary schools for several years, and had a deeper understanding of the hard life of rural teachers and students.
