It was already dusk, and the noisy and orderly Chongxiang Primary and Secondary School during class was silent and seemed a little empty, only there was some movement in the teacher's dormitory. There are a lot of things this year, and a few heads in the school have all returned to school after staying at home until the fifth year of junior high school.

Principal Liu was originally not suitable to serve as the principal of Chongxiang primary and secondary schools, he studied here in the primary school, junior high school, high school (in the sixties and seventies of the last century, a large number of senior intellectuals were decentralized, and the mountain people respected cultural people, so many rural middle school teachers were unprecedentedly strong, and Chongxiang also opened a high school. ）。 Although time has passed, and those high-level intellectuals who were decentralized back then have left, there are still too many teachers here who were back then, and they have to take into account the emotions of the teachers in everything they do. From the county party committee to the education bureau, all the heads and brains in the township are staring at the more than one million infrastructure projects, and Director Hu, who has been in the officialdom for 20 years, has no choice but to rush ducks to the shelves and let his most trusted students pick up this hot potato.

The infrastructure project of more than one million yuan, in the era when the monthly salary is only more than 300 yuan, is a great temptation for everyone, and Director Hu will definitely be tempted if he does not have a successful career for his children. Principal Liu is a shrewd person, how could he want to take on this kind of work, no matter whether he does it well or badly, he will definitely offend people, so there is Liu Shasha's mouth 'Liu Benqiu was also scolded'.

However, President Liu is also a smart person, in addition to going home to sleep, he even let the vice president or the dean of academic affairs follow him for dinner, and the documents on it were specially shown to the vice president in front of the visitors, trying not to give anyone a chance to gossip. During the Chinese New Year, I kept going to my colleagues and students' homes to eat pig-killing rice after the holiday, and from the second day of the Lunar New Year, I kept inviting teachers from Chongxiang to eat New Year's dinner at home, just to avoid suspicion as much as possible. Finally, in the fourth year of junior high school, Principal Liu, who had only been at his grandmother's house once, immediately returned to school with his wife and children, and deliberately half-persuaded and half-forced Vice Principal Chen and several of them to return to school together.

Mr. Liu's hardships have also been understood by Vice President Chen and others. Things have to be done well, and those contractors who are leaders behind them have to get off the stage, except for not giving them the opportunity to contact privately, what else can a small principal do?

Don't look at those contractors who are carrying gifts and saying good things in their mouths, who knows how they will spread rumors after they don't get the project? The position of the principal, saying that the leader is indeed the leader, is in charge of hundreds of people, and if it is not a leader, it is not a leader, and there is not even an administrative level. If he offends those who are in office, Bao Buqi will blow the wind in the ears of the next director of education, and find a high-sounding excuse to stuff Principal Liu and his wife to the most remote places to teach!

'Suddenly', the sound of a motorcycle came, breaking the peace of the campus, and Vice President Chen, who was playing poker in the office, was happy and quipped: "President Liu, business is up/door, do you want to invite someone to dinner?" It's also a big New Year, and it's almost dinner, so you can't have no etiquette at all, right? ”

Principal Liu looked out the window, threw down the playing cards in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Lao Chen, you are really a crow's mouth, you really have to invite this dinner." ”

"Who?"

"Li Jiade's second uncle, last time he went back to Chashan on a snowy day, stayed at his house for one night, and borrowed his motorcycle. During the Chinese New Year, he went to his house with Cheng Lin to eat pig-killing rice. By the way, his wife is Wang Shimei, she should still be your cousin, right? ”

Vice Principal Chen Taiping is from Cypress, and when Mr. Liu reminded him, he immediately remembered his distant cousin who threw a stone at him.

"Huh? Yes, yes, I heard that she married in Yinzitan, and when she was a child, she had a small quarrel with my wife every day and a big quarrel every three days, and she was simply a wild girl. ”

"Hehe, wait a minute, don't recognize relatives, I'm not good at talking hard to Cheng Lin."

Vice President Chen, who is very skilled, smiled bitterly a few times, and said helplessly in Mandarin: "I know, President Liuda."

This society is a society of human affection, and with the acquaintance of the second uncle, Boss Wang enjoys a completely different treatment from when he came in the morning. After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, in addition to hot tea, cigarettes, wine, fruits, and other necessary things for the New Year, Principal Liu's old classmates, Vice President Chen's distant cousin-in-law, Teacher Wang, and Director Wang also went to arrange dinner.

When Mr. Wang came back after arranging dinner, he had a beautiful little tail behind him and politely shouted, "Uncle Li has a happy New Year, I wish you good health and a happy life!" ”

"Sasha, a good New Year, I wish you progress in your studies and good health."

The second uncle, who likes this beautiful and polite little girl very much, hurriedly handed over the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "This is what they brought back from Guangdong, you can taste it, if you like it, I will ask Jiaming to send you more after the school starts." ”

The elder didn't dare to quit, not to mention that it was the New Year, so Liu Shasha had to take it and thank her: "Thank you, Uncle Li, these are enough for me to eat, Uncle Chen, Uncle Wang, you can also eat." ”

The plastic bag is transparent, and you can see at a glance that there are only some biscuits and candy inside, but if there are other things in the food, you can't see it clearly if you stand a little farther away. Liu Shasha smiled at her father, opened the bag and divided it into a small half and put it in the fruit bowl, and the contents were also clear to everyone.

This kid is really sensible, and a few adults secretly praised it and chatted again. From national events, to the cleverness of Li Jiade and Li Jiaming's brothers, and Li Jiadao's hard work, they just don't ask the two uncles about their intentions.

After chatting for a while, the second uncle finally blushed and stiffened his scalp to climb acquaintances and relatives: "Principal Liu, Principal Chen, Brother-in-law Chenglin, I came to the school today to ask for a few leaders." ”

Still came, Principal Liu, Vice Principal Chen, and Teacher Wang sighed secretly, and had to smile and say, "Lao Li, we are friends, what do we ask for." Tell me, what is the matter, and let you take a trip for the New Year. ”

The second uncle is just loyal and honest, how can he not know the sophistication of the world, and he can't hear the rejection of others, but the huge wealth still tempts him to be embarrassed and says: "That's the case, Zhenguo and I want to donate a cement court to the school, and we also want to renovate the stone road at the entrance for free, well, build a cement road." ”

Well? Principal Liu and the others were stunned, how could the businessman change to be a philanthropist if he wanted to make a profit?

With the second uncle's head, Boss Wang, who is skilled and eloquent, took over the conversation and said sincerely: "Leaders, the school is so bitter, there is not even a decent court, let alone the broken road outside. Instead of everyone doing hygiene, we should go to the river and sift some sand, and then donate some cement and labor to build a cement basketball court and renovate the gravel road. ”

It's a bit interesting, the project is done to anyone, as long as the price is right, the quality is good, if you can also engage in other construction by the way, this kind of good thing is not common. In particular, Vice Principal Chen, who stayed behind, said that he had one million funds this time, but it was all used to build a primary school, and it had to be earmarked, and his own group of leaders and teachers of the middle school contributed to it, but in the end, the middle school did not get any benefits. If you can take this opportunity to build a cement road, a stadium, and a few concrete floors in the middle school, it will not be in vain for everyone's hard work, right?

"Sasha, go see if the meal is ready?"

"Hey"

Sent away the smart Liu Shasha, and Principal Liu sent out a circle of 'white sand' cigarettes, signaling Boss Wang to get down to business. This is a businessman, certainly not a philanthropist, and the purpose of donating cement stadiums and cement roads is still those infrastructure projects.

"The last earthquake in Xunyang was fortunately not big, but we also have aftershocks, who is sure of what will happen in the future? That's how we think, schools are densely populated areas, what if there's a big earthquake and something happens? I suggest that the new teaching buildings and dormitories use a full-frame structure, instead of the current brick-concrete structure......"

After Boss Wang finished speaking, Mr. Liu and the others took a breath. In order to make the new school look new and beautiful, it is specially stipulated that the teaching building and dormitory must be a four-story brick and concrete house. If the teaching buildings and dormitories that accommodate seven or eight hundred students are all built into new houses with full frame structures, millions of dollars seem to be a lot, but they are definitely not enough!

Since people dare to say this, there must be his way, Mr. Liu took a few puffs of cigarette and threw a look at Vice Principal Chen.

Vice President Chen, who was understanding, said in Mandarin with a straight face: "Boss Wang, your plan is very good, but we only have so much infrastructure funds, what can you do?" ”

The matter was done, Boss Wang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said calmly: "Principal Chen, I am a businessman, and I must make money." If you agree with this plan, I will have the means to complete these works, but only if we have a tacit understanding. ”

Principal Liu was already tempted, and was pulled down from the inspection list of the deputy section level by his own teacher, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so it was impossible to say that there were no complaints. It's just that things have come to this point, and you will get which mountain to sing what song, anyway, it will offend the leaders of all aspects, and the chances of promotion in the future are very small, so it is better to do something beautiful and make a good name in front of the villagers!

People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees for an autumn. Seeing that he will be forty in a few years, if he can't climb up, he will accept his fate, and build a school that satisfies his fellow villagers can be regarded as not living in vain for decades.

"Let's go, Boss Wang, Chuanmin, let's eat first, and talk while eating. Cheng Lin, call the station and ask them to reserve five early bus tickets for us to go to the county tomorrow. ”

Vice President Chen is also tempted, he doesn't care if the credit is not credited, at his age, no matter how much credit he has, it will not be of much use. The key is to be able to build roads, stadiums, and concrete floors for secondary schools, which is very tempting for those who make the school their home and retire here.
