Chapter Twenty-Four: Twelve Thousand Dollars
Fu Xin and the three of them hurried to the hospital, at this time, Li Dequan's family had already arrived, and when they saw Fu Xin and the three of them coming, Li Dequan's wife rushed forward and shouted menacingly: "Which guy, that guy forced my old Li to drink?" Stand up, stand up for the old lady! ”
As soon as Fu Xin heard the tone of this fifty-year-old rural woman, he knew that he was Li Dequan's wife, so Fu Xin stubbornly said: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's me, I made a joke with Township Chief Li......"
"Jokes? Can a joke kill a person? If you are still the leader, can the leader have privileges, and can he ignore the life and death of his subordinates? I heard the boss say, you pointed to a pot of wine, and said that after drinking, you will give Yijun Township a chance to recruit workers again, right? Li Dequan's wife looked very angry!
"Yes." Fu Xin is non-deniable.
"Do you know that my Lao Li is dedicated to work? Do you know that my Lao Li told me yesterday to find a way to let you come again and recruit more young people to leave? If you bet with him like this, isn't that killing him? He started to have stomach bleeding, how can you bear it? I really didn't expect you leaders to be such people! Speaking of this, Li Dequan's wife ran away crying.
Fu Xin immediately chased after him and said sincerely: "Auntie, this matter is my fault, I don't know that Township Chief Li has stomach bleeding, this matter is my fault, I'm really sorry." However, you said that Township Chief Li was devoted to his work, thinking about how to let us do it again and take away more young people, which I don't agree. ”
"What do you disapprove of? I heard from my boss that you have a great prejudice against my Lao Li. What exactly do you disagree with? What do you think of my Lao Li, you say! Li Dequan's wife's cry. It's bigger.
Since he is devoted to his work, it is all for the good of the young people in Yijun Township. So, auntie, let me ask you, what's the deal with that five-dollar tax? Don't tell me that this is clearly stipulated above, I still have some understanding of the above policies, and this kind of tax does not exist above! Fu Xin took a deep look at Li Dequan's wife, and said in a deep voice: "Don't tell me you don't know!" ”
"Five-dollar tax?" Li Dequan's wife was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "That's because of this." Are you forcing my Lao Li to drink with all his might? Don't you have a brain? Not to mention that my Lao Li is sick, just pour that pot of wine, alcohol poisoning will always happen, does my Lao Li have to fight for this little money? Do you have a brain? ”
Li Dequan's wife roared angrily.
"Who can tell this?" Fu Xin pursed his mouth, and then said: "Moreover, I am just fighting unevenly, after all, these young people will become workers in our factory, and I can't let them suffer!" ”
"I can't control the in this Yijun Township. But I'll shout a word of injustice for them, and I'll be able to fight for it, right? Fu Xin muttered quietly.
"I see!" Fu Xin muttered, the sound was still not small. Li Dequan's wife heard it very clearly, and then, she said sadly with a crying voice: "The relationship is that your hometown is Bao Qingtian." Treat my Lao Li as a corrupt official! Lao Li, I have long asked you not to worry about this. Wait for the top to come down, you have to say wait for the top allocation. I don't know if it's going to be the Year of the Monkey, I have to take a risk, Lao Li, why are you so stupid, you are kind enough to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs! ”
"Hehe, I was kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and I used it to fill the financial deficit! I guessed it a long time ago. Fu Xin muttered quietly with a pout, and after muttering, Fu Xin looked at Li Dequan's wife and comforted: "Auntie, don't cry, can you let me go to see Township Chief Li first?" ”
Hearing Fu Xin's question, and he heard Fu Xin's muttering, Li Dequan's wife raised her head, looked at Fu Xin, and said seriously: "You go to see our Lao Li first, and after understanding the situation, I will take you to find out what our Lao Li did with the money!" ”
After that, Li Dequan's wife retreated to the side and sat down on the wooden chair by the wall.
Fu Xin walked into the ward where Li Dequan was, at this time, Li Dequan was lying on the bed of this hospital hanging with salt water, as people familiar with him said, he did have symptoms of stomach bleeding, at this time, his face was very pale, and his breathing did not look so smooth, his daughter was sitting on the edge of the bed, taking care of her father carefully.
At this time, the doctor came over, Fu Xin watched the doctor take the stethoscope and listened to Li Dequan's body for a while, thought about it, but still didn't step forward to show off his medical skills, followed the doctor out, walked to the door, Fu Xin asked eagerly: "Doctor, Township Chief Li is fine, right?" Do you need to send him to Yicheng? I'm going to get ready now. ”
The doctor shook his head and replied: "Township Chief Li's current situation is out of danger and tends to be stable, there is no need to send him to a big hospital, we can still deal with it here, but Township Chief Li's stomach bleeding needs to be treated, so we have to go to a big hospital, we don't have this condition here." ”
"Oh." Fu Xin nodded, and Mrs. Li and her son, who came forward on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief, with obvious joy on their faces.
After showing joy, Li Dequan's wife didn't speak anymore, and walked outside the hospital by herself, Fu Xin and Zhang Daquan glanced at each other, and understood that Li Dequan's wife wanted to take them to see where Li Dequan was going to use the money, and then followed.
The five people left the health center, it was already dark, the five people walked on this dark road, about five minutes later, Li Dequan's wife took Fu Xin and the four people approached a row of houses, and came to a room with dim lights, Li Dequan's wife did not knock on the door, directly pushed the door open, and walked in with Fu Xin and the four people.
"Teacher Luo, why are you here?" The people inside the room asked curiously.
When he walked to this row of houses, Fu Xin took a general observation and quickly understood that this should be a school. Walking into this room, I heard the people talking inside, plus there was a blackboard in the room. Fu Xin instantly determined that this was a school.
"This is Li Mingde, the principal of our Yijun Township Primary School, you ask him. Where did our Lao Li get all that money? Li Dequan's wife did not answer the words of the people in the house, but turned her head. looked at Fu Xin and said to Fu Xin.
After speaking, Li Dequan's wife turned around and told the principal of Fu Xin's identity.
Li Dequan learned the identity of Fu Xin and the others, and soon showed joy, stepped forward, and said cordially to Fu Xin's hand: "You are the leaders of our Yijun Township recruitment!" Yesterday, Township Chief Li came to me and told me that you want to recruit 200 people from us. The township can receive 12,000 yuan from these young people next year. Township Chief Li said that all of these will be used in our school and the middle school in the township, for the maintenance of the classrooms of our school and the middle school, as well as the desks and benches in the classrooms, as well as the dormitories where the students live. That's great! ”
Speaking of this, Li Mingde became excited, "Four leaders. Did you know? The classrooms and dormitories of our two schools are all dilapidated buildings, and the desks and benches in the classrooms are all missing arms and legs. There was really no money to repair it, and Township Chief Li also moved most of the good desks and chairs in the township government to our two schools, but this could not completely improve our situation.
Li Mingde's voice rose up. "Well, now we have a sum of money next year. With this money, the children no longer have to live in dilapidated houses. It's great that you don't have to stand up for class anymore, four leaders, thank you so much! ”
"Principal Li, can you take us to see your school's dormitory?" Fu Xin asked with a flushed face.
Li Mingde nodded and replied undeniably: "Of course, the children who are far away from home are all living in the school, and now at this point, the children should all be asleep, and the four leaders are welcome to go to our dormitory to guide the work." ”
After speaking, Li Mingde took out a flashlight from the drawer, took Fu Xin and the four of them, and Li Dequan's wife, and went to the dormitory where the children lived.
didn't go far, Li Mingde took a few people into a courtyard, in this courtyard, there was a row of houses, in the house, there was no light, but the sound of children talking was faintly heard inside, but soon, the sound disappeared. Obviously, the children were too frightened to speak when they discovered the lights and knew that it was the teacher who came.
Li Mingde's light shone on the dormitory, and Fu Xin looked at it intently, stunned.
What kind of dormitory is this, the roof is sparsely tiled, and the roof is covered with thick thatch in order to prevent raindrops from coming in when it rains.
The light went down, Fu Xin saw the windows, only to see that these windows, just a few pieces of wood across the top, there was no glass or film at all, only a few newspapers or waste paper pasted on it, as long as the wind blows, the newspaper waste paper is definitely broken, and the wind will definitely blow into the dormitory. Now that winter is approaching, Fu Xin can't imagine whether the children will freeze at night.
The wall, Fu Xin also saw it, this wall is not a blue brick structure, but some adobe bricks, Fu Xin looked, and felt that this house would fall down when it was blown by the wind.
After a while, Li Dequan's wife suddenly said: "This dormitory not only houses students, but also teachers. Teachers live here, not only because they look good to take care of the children when the weather is bad, but also because this is originally a teacher's dormitory, and when the school was built, there was no student dormitory at all. In this case, the same is true for our middle school in Yijun Township. ”
After looking at the dormitory, Fu Xin decided to take a look at the classrooms of Yijun Township Primary School.
Li Mingde did not refuse, and returned to his office with a few people.
Li Mingde pointed to this row of six houses and said: "The one we stayed in before was our school office, and all our teachers worked in it. The others are all classrooms in our Yijun Township Primary School, and there is one for each grade. ”
After Li Mingde finished speaking, Fu Xin became curious, he knew about the situation of some schools in remote mountainous areas, generally these schools, students of several ages go to school in one classroom, but here, it has changed, so Fu Xin raised the question in his heart.
"I'll answer that question!" Li Dequan's wife said in a deep voice: "Because we only have two schools in Yijun Township, one is this primary school, and the other is a middle school. The situation in middle school is better, after all, some students will not go back to high school.
There is such a primary school, and since then, there have been many students. Inside the classroom. Very crowded, seventy or eighty people. Sometimes there are even about 100 people, all crammed into a classroom. For example, the first grade of elementary school is now. There were one hundred and seven students in the class. ”
"What, one hundred and seven people, how is this class?" Lao Ji, who had not said a word on the side, asked silently.
Li Mingde and Li Dequan's wives glanced at Lao Ji, Li Mingde nodded, and said, "Yes, one hundred and seven, if the leader doesn't believe it, you are welcome to come and investigate at any time." Maybe there will be a certain gap in the number of people we have here because of the poverty of the students' families, but this gap. At most, four or five, not too many,
The children are very studious, as long as the family is really unable to support them, and it is useless for us to persuade their parents, they will choose to drop out of school, otherwise the children will not leave school. ”
Speaking of this, Li Mingde sighed, "It's a pity. Our environment here is already too poor for teachers, and the official teachers are me and Mr. Luo, and I teach mathematics. Ms. Luo teaches Chinese, and the others are temporary teachers. But even so, the teachers of our school. It's also far from enough, when the farm is busy. Some temporary teachers have to go home to work, and they really don't have time to attend classes, so Township Chief Li will come to substitute for teachers. ”
"This ......" Fu Xin was really ashamed to go underground.
"Li Tao, where are you sneaking around?" Li Mingde suddenly looked at a thin voice in the distance, and scolded loudly, he had just praised this group of children for being studious, but now that it was time to rest, some students secretly ran out, which made him embarrassed.
The student heard Li Mingde's shout, paused, and walked over with a cower under the light of Li Mingde's flashlight.
"Principal Li, Teacher Luo, I ......"
Li Dequan's wife, this Teacher Luo, glanced at this student named Li Tao and asked kindly: "Li Tao, it's so late, why don't you sleep and run out?" ”
"Teacher...... The teacher ......" shouted twice Teacher Tao, Li Tao still didn't say anything, his head was lowered and he secretly raised it, glanced at Teacher Luo, and saw Teacher Luo looking kind, he should not be afraid, so he replied in a cringe...... I want to go home...... Look, Li Xiao came back from home today, and he told me that my grandfather went to the mountains to chop firewood and fell his foot, and I want to go back to see him. ”
"Hmm......" Li Mingde looked at it seriously, under the faint light, she saw Li Tao's clear eyes, and immediately knew that Li Tao was not lying, her face quickly eased, and Chunchun taught: "Li Tao, you want to go back to see your grandfather, this is okay, filial piety is good, but if you want to go back, you should tell the teacher, go to the teacher to ask for leave, and go back during the day!" Now it's the middle of the night, you secretly run back, your house is more than ten miles away from here, and it is a mountain road, and it is not easy to walk, in case of any accident, what can I do, you and your grandfather are left in your house, if you have an accident, what will your grandfather do in the future? ”
"Principal Li, I was wrong, I shouldn't have secretly run back." Li Tao lowered his head in shame.
Li Mingde touched the child's head and said gently: "Well, it's good to know that it's wrong, go to bed now, I approve it, and when it dawns tomorrow, you can go back to see your grandfather." ”
"Great, thank you, Headmaster." After speaking, Li Tao ran to the dormitory in a hurry, and it could be seen that he was relieved and would not run away in the middle of the night.
"A few leaders, let you see the smile." The light of the flashlight sent Li Tao, the child, into the dormitory, and Li Mingde took back the light and said apologetically to the new four.
"Principal Li, is this child an orphan?" Fu Xin asked.
"Yes, his parents died of illness, his grandmother also died, and his grandfather was only one child of his father, so he is now dependent on his grandfather." Li Mingde replied, "Oh, by the way, this kid is very motivated, his grades are the best in their grade, and his scores in Chinese and mathematics are basically above 95 points in every exam." ”
"Hmm." Fu Xin nodded, then his body twisted, took off the military coat he was draped on, handed it to Li Mingde's hand, and said: "Principal Li, please give this dress to this kid in a while, the weather is getting colder, don't let him freeze, I just saw that he was still wearing a summer pair, his lips were about to turn purple, and his body was shaking, it was not okay to go on like this!" ”
Li Mingde did not refuse, took the military coat of Fu Xinjui, and said sincerely: "This leader, I will thank you for Li Tao's child first." ”
"Hmm." Fu Xin accepted Li Mingde's thanks, and who asked anxiously: "By the way, Principal Li, are there many orphans like him in the school?" ”
Li Mingde thought for a moment and replied, "It's not much, there are seventeen." ”
After speaking, Li Mingde shook his head again, sighed and said: "But even so, there is not much we can help, our Yijun Township is too poor, and we really can't afford any money to help these children." There are seventeen orphans, and there are also those who are in extremely poor families, and there are some sick and dragged in bed, and there are about fifty such children, alas......"
"However, this situation can be improved next year, with 12,000 yuan, it should be enough for our two schools!" Li Mingde said with anticipation. (To be continued......)
