Chapter 389: The Touchstone

(The first is to ask for a monthly pass!) )

When Lu Rui opened the glass jar held by a student, he was stunned for a moment, and it was slowly full of pickles. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Kid, why do you bring so many pickles?" Lu Rui asked softly.

Standing in front of him was a girl about ten years old, looking at Lu Rui a little timidly, and then whispered after nodding from the labor that accompanied her: "This week, I have to rely on it for dinner." ”

Lu Rui's face changed, and he looked at the labor on the side and said, "Director Lao, this ......"

Labor sighed: "County magistrate, the students' families are poor, I can think of a way to pay for tuition, miscellaneous fees and books, what else can I do?" ”

Lu Rui fell silent, the economic backwardness of Jinfu County was obvious, and the most prosperous shopping mall in the county was equivalent to a community supermarket in a big city. Even Lu Rui walked around the street last night, but he didn't find a few decent restaurants. What's even funnier is that in the county, except for the row of buildings facing the street, in other places, there are all rows of bungalows, and you can actually see earthen houses.

This is 2004, and there is still such a place, Lu Rui is really unimaginable.

"Director Lao, you've worked hard all these years." Lu Rui slowly stood up, holding the hand of labor with a lot of emotion.

In the mouths of those teachers, Lu Rui knew the deeds of labor over the years, in the past ten years, since he became the director of the county education bureau, the annual salary in addition to the needs of life, all on the students of the school, those poor students who can't afford to read, the annual tuition, miscellaneous fees, and book fees are all saved by him.

In the past ten years, labor has lost a lot of things, from a young man in his early twenties in his prime, to a middle-aged man in his thirties who looks like he is in his forties, and in ten years, he has never married, and even refused several door-to-door marriages.

Hearing Lu Rui's words, Labor smiled slightly and said: "County magistrate, I am nothing, I am a single person, and the whole family is not hungry if I am fed alone." These are the children, they really want to read. ”

Sighing, Lu Rui fell silent, he never thought that education in Jinfu City had collapsed to such a point. Thanks to the labor and dedication of a group of teachers, many children still have to drop out of school and go home, the older ones go out to work, and the younger ones can only help their parents do a little farm work at home.

As for the high schools in the county, there are no at all. Now there are only five high school students in the county studying in Muyang City, and they are all funded by labor. Of course, Lu Rui knows very well that the children of those rich and officials are not within the scope of this calculation.

"Director Lao, isn't there an education fund in the city's annual financial allocation?" Lu Rui's brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Labor smiled, but did not answer Lu Rui's question, but sighed.

Lu Rui immediately understood, it seems that there is something in this that is not enough for outsiders. However, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that this kind of misappropriation of funds is really too common for the grassroots in China, especially the Qingshui Yamen, which is not taken seriously by the Education Bureau, and it has long been commonplace for relevant departments to embezzle education funds to do other things.

Secretly had a plan in his heart, Lu Rui quietly glanced at Zhan Quan, the director of the county government office who accompanied him to inspect the county, it seems that his first county magistrate's office meeting in Jinfu County may not be calm.

…………………………

…………………………

"County magistrate, what are you doing here?" When Lu Rui took out all his cash from his handbag, Labor and the others were suddenly frightened. In their opinion, it is already rare for such a big official as the county magistrate to come to inspect, and it would be too much to say if he was asked to pay for it again.

Lu Rui waved his hand and said calmly: "As for me, I have some money in the family, and I usually don't have any expenses." The money should be used to buy some school supplies for the children. In addition, for those children who are studying in high school in other places, I will provide tuition and miscellaneous fees and living expenses in the future, and my salary is 5,000 yuan per month, which is exactly 1,000 yuan per child. After a pause, Lu Rui looked at labor and said: "Director Lao, you believe me, in less than half a year, I will definitely let the children of Jinfu County live a normal study life, so that you, the director of education, will live up to your name." ”

After speaking, Lu Rui walked in front of a child, touched his head, and said softly: "Uncle is not a bad person, uncle doesn't know the situation, just now Uncle has apologized to Uncle Lao, are you willing to forgive uncle?" ”

The child looked at Lu Rui, raised his little face, and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, uncle, I know." ”

His nose was sore, and seeing that it was about to get dark, Lu Rui's expression was even darker, he knew that these children were going to sleep, because a teacher had just told him: "Students can't eat enough at night, and going to bed early can carry hunger." ”

"Education is the foundation of the country, even if you go out to work, the labor force with a higher level of education is more likely to find jobs, and the income level is also significantly higher, and it must be recognized that improving the level of education is an effective means to help the poor people get out of poverty." Lu Rui said to the people around him.

In the same way, Lu Rui brought up the old matter again at the first county government office meeting when he became the county magistrate.

"No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for children, but I see that the children in Jinfu County are living a chilling life. If we don't want to be held to the back for decades to come, this must change. ”

Lu Rui glanced at the deputy county magistrates attending the county government office meeting and said lightly.

Several deputy county magistrates looked at each other, but no one took the lead to speak.

Lu Rui's brows frowned slightly, Jinfu County doesn't look at the big place, the population is not much, there are a lot of officials, the national name stipulates that a county government can set up "one positive and three deputies", and each place has about three to five deputy county magistrates according to their own conditions, but Jinfu County is good, a full nine deputy county magistrates, full of sitting in a conference room, it looks quite spectacular, in fact, how much effect it can have, it is unknown.

"Deputy county magistrate Lao, you are the executive deputy county magistrate, tell me, what should be done about this matter?" Lu Rui looked at the deputy county magistrates and slowly said to the executive deputy county magistrate Lao Mo.

The model worker smiled a little embarrassedly, about the problem of education, he naturally knows that it cannot be ignored, but there are too many things involved, the former county magistrate also tried to solve this matter, but in the end it was in vain, although Lu Rui's intentions are good, but at this time, it is obviously unrealistic.

After thinking about it, the model worker still felt that the young county magistrate was a little reckless, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "County magistrate, I look at this matter, I still have to sit down for the preliminary investigation work first, right?" There is no right to speak without investigation, and only by understanding the specific situation can we better plan for the education in the county. ”

Lu Rui's face changed, and he couldn't imagine that this model worker actually had an official relationship with him.

Taking a deep look at the deputy county magistrate Lao, who was still patting his chest with himself in the office yesterday and saying that he would definitely support him, Lu Rui had already classified him into the untrustworthy column.

However, Lu Rui knows very well that the reason why the model worker is willing to offend himself by being a shrinking turtle at this time must be due to two considerations, on the one hand, because he is alone in the Standing Committee, to be precise, because he has not shown the strength that can convince him, people in the officialdom have always followed the strong, and he, the acting county magistrate, is a bare-rod commander, who dares to lean on himself? Throughout the morning, except for the labor to report on the education situation in the county, no one from the county directly under the county was stunned to report to him, and those top leaders were probably waiting to see the joke of their doll county magistrate.

On the other hand, Lu Rui saw an unusual meaning from the flashing words of the model worker and the somewhat jealous looks of these deputy county magistrates.

"Looks like there's someone else in here." Lu Rui thought secretly in his heart.

Smiling slightly, Lu Rui looked sideways at Zuo Mei, the deputy county magistrate in charge of culture, education and health: "Deputy county magistrate Zuo, how much does the city allocate to our county's education every year?" ”

Zuo Mei is the deputy county magistrate with old qualifications, and because she is a lesbian, her status in the county government is also relatively high, and Lu Rui is also much kinder when she speaks to her.

Glancing at Lu Rui in embarrassment, Zuo Mei replied slowly: "County Magistrate Lu, the city has allocated 1.4 million yuan to our county this year for the improvement of teachers' salaries and teaching facilities in education. ”

Lu Rui nodded and thought about it, although the money was not much, it would be enough if it was used to renovate the school building.

"So has the money already been sent?" Lu Rui asked again.

Zuo Mei gritted her teeth and nodded, "It's already been sent." She thought of what that person said at home last night, looked at Lu Rui in front of her, and said unexpectedly: "But the Finance Bureau said that it would only be sent down if Deputy Yang signed it." ”

Everyone was stunned, is this woman Zuo Mei crazy?

Only the model worker glanced at Zuo Mei thoughtfully, thinking of the long-standing rumor, he was slightly stunned, but he didn't speak.

Not only him, but Zhan Quan, the director of the county government office who had been attending the meeting and taking notes, also changed his face, glanced at Zuo Mei, and didn't say anything, but the moment he lowered his head, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Lu Rui's eyebrows raised, he had already seen the reactions of everyone in the office, and glanced at Zuo Mei in surprise, his heart moved slightly, it seems that this Zuo Mei said this sentence should not be without purpose, the county government's education appropriation actually needs the signature of Yang Shan, deputy of the party committee.

"Hehe, it seems that this Deputy Yang *** is not small." Lu Rui smiled coldly in his heart. The county magistrate is in charge of finance, and he must take the position of director of the financial bureau himself, but now there are no available talents at hand for the time being, and it is really troublesome for him to act rashly.

After thinking about it, Lu Rui decided to put this matter aside for a while.
