Chapter 1287: Fierce Fight! Master and Apprentice 71 (Medium)
Give it, take it! ”
"How embarrassing is that!"
Lu Qi took some clothes and food from the shopkeeper in front of him, and he looked at the workers who were carrying things with some embarrassment, the shop was about to close.
The owner of the shop, who was in his eighties, was already old and planned to return to the north to retire, and the shopkeeper smiled and took out a paper bag from his pocket with a thick stack of banknotes.
"Take it!"
"This ......."
Luzzie swallowed, he really wanted to take the money, the owner of the shop was a good man, he had helped the orphanage many times.
"Hold, although this money is not much, it is at least enough for more than 40 children in your orphanage to live for a while."
Lu Qi took the money, took it in his hand and bowed ninety degrees, tears seeping out of his eyes uncontrollably.
It's been a while since I've been to the bustling streets, and Lu Qi just wants to go to a place with the Internet to see the bills in the Congress, and now there are three more important bills with results, and the fourth bill is the distribution of taxes.
Lu Qi is no exception, the cost of distributing to Lu Qi and their orphanage every month is only a pitiful 2,000 yuan, which is difficult to maintain the lives of more than 40 children, Lu Qi is exhausted, and has repeatedly complained to the local branch office, hoping to get some money to keep the orphanage running.
Every time a group of children is sent away, Lu Qi's heart is a little lighter, those children who are willing to adopt, can get out of the torturous environment of the orphanage, but in recent years, there are still a large number of orphans in the society, the previous black slave incident, money laundering, fraud and other problems, and now the society has a certain resistance to the orphanage.
Even the distrust in society has been exacerbated by the fact that most of the orphanage owners are using their good intentions to enrich themselves, even though the Law Offices and Bar Associations have amended the fraud law, and the prison sentences for those who take advantage of the kindness of others have been increased from the previous 10 years to 30 years.
Although most of the fraud incidents in society have been effectively curbed, the distrust caused in the past is constantly expanding, because some people's casual remarks are like a wound tearing through the continuous pus.
In the past, Luzi was able to get some donations in many places, but now it is very difficult to get donations.
"Luqi, I think you should contact the older orphanage as soon as possible and send the child away, you won't be able to survive."
The owner of the shop sighed helplessly, everyone in the neighborhood knows Lu Qi, he often comes to ask for some donations, many people used to give some, but now everyone is having a hard time, this district in the southwest, although close to the factory area, but their orphanage is on a hill on the edge of the city, where it has long been uninhabited.
The Luzi Orphanage, located on the edge, is about 2 kilometers away from the area where there are people.
It has been marginalized for a long time, Lu Qimu looked at the big bag of food and the money bag in his hand around him, and looked at the west with some blankness, everything in the store has been almost moved, and the boss smiled and got into the truck.
Lu Qi quietly looked at the boss who waved at him, and after saying goodbye to him, Lu Qi looked around, and many people looked at him, pointing and saying something.
Then Luzi carried his clothes and food, and walked hard, he had to hurry back, and then get a good meal for the children, and then come and buy some baby food.
The road of more than 2 kilometers is not long, but it is short, and Luqi looked at the fortress on the top of the mountain in the distance, and he knew very well what an orphan was all about, because he was once an orphan.
The issue of the distribution of taxes should be introduced soon, although the Congress has announced the division and use of taxes in recent years, but there are no detailed rules, this time the parliamentarians have explained that there will be detailed rules for the announcement of taxes in the future, and people in each district can check the detailed rules for the use of taxes allocated by the district power.
Lu Qi had a lot of worries along the way, he knew that he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't change it, but if the tax could be distributed to the orphanage a little more, many orphans would be able to live.
The orphanage was also taken over by Lu Qi from a mother-in-law who had taken care of Lu Qi and his younger brother Luneng in the past.
At this time, Lu Qi looked at the money in his hand, a total of more than 5,000 yuan, Lu Qi had an idea in his heart, if he just relied on blindly gaining the sympathy of others and getting donations, the orphanage would not survive, but when he thought of the failure of the past operation, Lu Qi could only shake his head helplessly.
can only continue to endure it, Lu Qi can't keep the money in his hand at all now, but fortunately, his younger brother is now working in a light and shadow artifact company, and the salary is good, and the younger brother also said that he will find a way to save some money, and then the two brothers will partner in business, only in this way can they continue to maintain the orphanage.
The afternoon sun had just begun to warm up, and Lu Qi was sweating profusely and crossed the wooden bridge over the moat with his things in his hands, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard bursts of laughter, and the solemnity on Lu Qi's face dissipated, and he put down his things with a smile.
"The Dean is back!"
One by one, the children came over, the younger brother Luneng was helping some children dry the freshly washed clothes, and the children happily came over, everyone was hungry, swallowing and looking at the eggs that Lu Qi was carrying, as well as a large bag of things.
"Hurry up and get things ready, let's make omelets and eat."
Looking at these children helping in front of him, Lu Qi felt motivated again for a while, he couldn't let this place end, he knew what it was like to be homeless.
"Yincai, what are you doing, flour can't be eaten directly."
A few older children went over to grab a little baby who was just walking, she looked hungry and wanted to eat flour directly, and Luzi smiled at the little girl who had been placed at the door of the orphanage last year, and was growing strongly.
But Yincai still licked the flour on his hands reluctantly, and was pulled away by several children, and washed his hands, at this time an older child picked up the music pendant around Yincai's neck, and soon followed the music, and Yincai was attracted to chase over.
The children here are all big and young, taking care of each other, and at this time the younger brother Lu Neng leaned over.
"Brother, do you want us to do this first?"
Lu Qi looked at Luneng suspiciously.
"This kind of loud music pendant is very simple to make, I can get a machine to produce components, you just need to ask the children to help assemble it, and then download some popular songs into it, it's okay, even if one sells for 1 yuan, you can make a lot of money, the cost is only one or two cents."
"It's not ........"
Ruzzi hesitated, this is a crime.
"We only sell in some nearby districts, and it's fine, but recently I heard that another orphanage has closed down, and many homeless children are kicked back and forth in many orphanages as if they were kicking a ball."
Lu Qi looked at the sound of this music pendant not far away, this name was given to her by Lu Qi, because she came with this music pendant that would change color and glow, so Lu Qi gave her this name.
"Then you have to be careful yourself, in case you ......."
"It's okay, brother, many people in our company are doing this kind of thing, and besides, we don't do anything bad."
Lu Qi hummed and looked at the sun in the distance, obviously it looked dazzling, but it was almost 1 o'clock, and there was still a chill here.
No one knows what is going on here, the orphan problem has been increasingly marginalized, and now the only thing that Ruzzi can rely on is a female district councillor who has promised herself, and she has said that she will definitely speak up in Parliament.
In the last district councilor election, Lu Qi brought 13 children over the age of 10 in his orphanage and himself voted for her 14 votes, and she defeated her opponent by exactly 10 votes, and then the councilor brought 3,000 yuan of condolence money and some food to the orphanage, so that Lu Qi and the children here survived the crisis.
"It's okay big brother, let's use this method to make the orphanage feel better for the time being."
Lu Qi nodded, he had been honest all his life, but now he can only listen to his younger brother and do this kind of illegal business.
1:03 p.m
There was a burst of clapping, and a little baby in a delicate princess dress was crawling on the ground, and cheers were heard all around, and many people were praising the child, saying that she was smart, that she was beautiful and cute.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the little baby girl seemed very happy, and from time to time crawled on the lawn to some people.
The baby's mother, Fang Qin, looked very embarrassed and chattered with other lawyers' wives, and the words of praise were heard too much every time such a party, Fang Qin was a little uncomfortable, obviously her daughter was just over 1 year old.
Fang Qin knew that this was all because her husband Pullman was now not only the president of the Law Society, but also a representative of the lawyers' faction.
Fang Qin is not very suitable for all this, no matter how many times it is the same, there is only one purpose for coming here, to get along with the Pullman family.
Every time these people come, they will bring a lot of gifts, many gifts are more expensive, although Fang Qin wants to refuse, but her husband Pullman also said that the family circle is also an extremely important part, Fang Qin naturally knows Pullman's difficulties.
"By the way, recently Pullman said that he wants to set up a charitable foundation for orphans, Mrs. Zhu, you see......."
"Fang Qin, I think it's better for us not to get involved in this kind of thing."
"Yes, this kind of thing can't be solved by us alone, we have to take action in the Congress, think about it, tens of thousands of orphans, even if it is 100 yuan a month for one person, it will be millions!"
Fang Qin didn't go any further, Pullman had already explained that he could first probe the voices of these ladies, and this matter had to be planned step by step, which was a long-standing marginalization problem in the city, which could not be solved by the legal system.
At this time, Lettie crawled towards Fang Qin, she picked up her smiling daughter, and many people around her.
Daughter Letty was hugged again, and although Fang Qin wanted to say something, she could only force a smile.
Many people are saying that they like children, they want one for themselves, or simply adopt or something, but Fang Qin knows that these are just polite words.
In a trance, Fang Qin became a little scared, because she was afraid that her daughter would become like the people around her who were always duplicitous.
A sense of fear wrapped Fang Qin's heart, marrying Pullman was the luckiest thing in his life, everything was fine with her husband, but this circle made Fang Qin unbearable.
Fang Qin didn't know why some things were very simple, but these people were always very complicated, saying things against their will, doing things against their will, without feeling ashamed at all, as if they were very ordinary things.
Many times Fang Qin wants to talk to her husband Pullman, but many times Pullman says that he is very tired, too busy with work, and always says that he doesn't need to worry, it's okay or something, although Fang Qin has no complaints, but somewhere in her heart is still a little uncomfortable.
Or! Take Letty to the bottom?
This is not the first time Fang Qin has come up with such an idea, but the current situation will definitely not allow it, Letty will definitely be a big lady in the future, Fang Qin has seen many children here, all of them have a young lady's temper, arrogance, and prejudice against many things, and are wary.
At this time, the air began to get hot, and Fang Qin also beckoned everyone into the house, she held her daughter and looked back at everything in the yard, and several servants were cleaning up.
"It's going to be too hot, you can clean it up when it's cooler."
Fang Qin said, at this time, many people in the room were already talking and laughing, and several servants looked at Fang Qin very gratefully.
"Madam, there will be a dinner here later, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, thank you, Madame, for your kindness."
As the steward spoke, the servants still began to clean up under the scorching sun, and Fang Qin gave another command.
"Then everyone should be careful not to get heat stroke, don't force it."
Many servants nodded gratefully and sent Fang Qin into the house, for this Mrs. Pullman, the servants were very respectful, she was very good, she would not call them at will, she was not bad to them, and she never treated them as inferior.
The scorching afternoon sun shone on the eastern farms, and many farmlands have begun to stop working, because the temperature is too high, many farms can only take intermittent labor, work for half an hour, at least 10 minutes to cool down, otherwise it is easy to suffer from heat stroke.
In the past, the temperature on the farms in the east was relatively high, but now with the addition of the dust wall that stretches on the outside of the grain base in the east, the temperature is even higher, and the wind blowing in many times is hot.
Located in the crop processing plant, on the edge of an assembly line, a woman sweating profusely is working, they are all wearing cooler clothes, peeling off the skin of potatoes with a peeling machine, and the potato skins are directly put into the inedible processing box around them, and they will be transported away immediately after the box is full.
This is a job that was introduced a few years ago by Section 12 for most women, dealing with the inedible parts of vegetable crops, so that most of the time of food traders can be saved and there is no need for additional food cleaners.
Some of the women here were arrested after engaging in illegal body trafficking, and most of them were sent here for the second time.
Although all this can be done directly using machinery, it still uses manpower because jobs can be provided, and the salary of women here is 650 yuan a month.
Many women are working hard, because everyone has a quota to be completed, at this time, accompanied by a burst of baby crying, for a while, there were a lot of baby crying in the whole factory.
Since March this year, the 12th branch has opened a special exception to allow some women with children to come to work and bring their own children, and the 12th department has also added a children's food to them, and women with children can live in four-person dormitories.
Bayek smiled and looked at Larry, who was awakened by the cries of other children, but Larry didn't cry, just obediently watched his mother work.
"Your son is so good."
Some people couldn't help but praise that Bayek showed his white teeth, although his skin was dark, but his old thin appearance was gone, and he once thought that he was finished, but he didn't expect that after coming here, he would have a job and his children would be able to get good food and medical care.
In the 12 departments, medical treatment is free, and no matter what kind of illness you get during the work, the 12 departments will be responsible for treatment, which is the focus of many people who are willing to sign long-term contracts with the 12 departments in recent years.
Because it is true that someone is seriously ill or has an accident at work, and they are properly cared for and compensated.
It's just that most people don't want to work here for the rest of their lives, they still want to save enough money and leave, and Bayek thinks the same way, she plans to work for 10 years, and when the child is healthy and strong, she will take the child away and let him go to a good school.
Recently, many people have found it heartwarming that people in 12 subjects will take the time to gather some children and teach them some simple knowledge, from arithmetic to literacy.
All thanks to Natasha, the secretary of Section 12, who made all this happen, based on her work in the Agricultural Section.
At first, no one was optimistic about the implementation, but after the implementation, many people applauded.
At this time, the temperature in the factory began to drop, many women put on coats, and Bayek hurriedly took measures to keep the children warm.
When the outside temperature rises, the temperature regulator in the factory starts to cool down automatically to protect the freshness of the ingredients.
This is the hardest time of the day in the factory, when the door of the factory is open.
For a while, everyone looked at the door, some people from the 12th section walked in, and the secretary Natasha was also there, and many people looked over happily and stood up one after another.
"Excuse me!"
As we all know, this is what Natasha often does nowadays, she will go to factories or farmlands, randomly inspect the laborers, and then listen to their opinions, opinions on the working environment and working methods, and then Natasha will summarize everyone's opinions and make certain improvements.
In the face of gossip, Natasha listened quietly, nodding her head constantly, she used to always raise the bar with Clark, but now Natasha doesn't think so, Natasha is in charge of the management of the agricultural department, and Clark is in charge of scientific research.
Although Natasha still doesn't like Clark's approach very much, Clark has never had any words about his approach, Ye Chunwang has talked to him many times, and Natasha has also understood, rather than letting others understand her own philosophy, it is better to do it yourself.
Some people have suggested that this point is too cold, the temperature is abnormally high, and it may be fine for adults, but it is okay for children, but there are still many people who say that their bone joints may produce chilblains when working in low temperatures for a long time.
Natasha smiled and nodded.
"I'll collect everyone's opinions, and soon we should provide you with some warmer gloves and clothes."
Natasha has a good memory, this is the 109th time someone has mentioned this, she plans to start doing it when she goes back, the only thing that can be done now is the light and shadow substance, you can adjust the density of the clothes you wear at any time, so that you can breathe when it's hot, and keep warm when it's cold, but the 12 branches don't have so much money to use light and shadow materials to achieve it, and the only way is to use some crop fibers to make it.
At this time, Natasha also asked everyone to go back to work, and then planned to leave after a round, she walked slowly behind the female workers who worked hard, looking at their thick and calloused hands, if it wasn't for Alpha's proposal, maybe the 12th branch had already used machinery to deal with it, and now it was not easy to pass on this cost to the wholesale merchants, creating so many labor positions.
A small black hand stretched out, Natasha stopped, looked at the dark-skinned little baby, the little hand reached over, Natasha stretched out a finger, smiled at the dark-skinned child, and held her finger.
Bayek became a little nervous and hurriedly turned to apologize.
"It's okay, how old is this kid?"
"It's been six months, my lord."
Natasha smiled and nodded, patted the child's little face, and walked up with a smile, her next step is to promote a plan, if the children of people who have been working in agriculture for a long time are willing, they can get a bursary in 12 subjects, and after completing their studies in the department, they can directly enter 12 subjects.
"The land also speaks, and if you treat the land gently, the things you grow must be delicious!"
Natasha, who came to the door, glanced back at everything in the factory, and now think about it carefully, what Ye Chunwang used to say before, Natasha now understands.
"Clarke's idiot probably won't understand it for the rest of his life, he only knows the yield and the yield, and people are not tools or machines."
Walking out of the factory, Natasha glanced at the endless farmland, took off her hat, her long hair poured down, she tilted her head slightly, feeling the tempting smell of grain in the air, she always felt very comfortable, and it was only now that she finally liked the job.
1:23 p.m
With a strong aroma, Hawke was full of praise and gave a thumbs up, looking at the barley tea in the cup, mellow and sweet.
"That's good, Ye Chunwang."
Ye Chunwang smiled and took out a small packet of homemade barley tea from his trouser pocket and handed it to Hawke.
"If you want to eat in the future, come to my house."
Hawke laughed, the two of them were in a small room, they didn't participate in the discussion of the Department of Operations in the past, they were already people from a long time ago, this time Hawke didn't plan to come, but Ye Chunwang pulled him along.
"Has the matter on the farm been settled?"
Ye Chunwang smiled and nodded.
"It's no problem, those two children, although they are doing their own things, are both working hard, and I don't plan to ask anything."
Knock knock
There was a knock on the door of the room, and Hawke turned his head, the yellow particles tugging at the doorknob, and when it opened, Locke stood respectfully in the doorway.
"What's the matter, Chubby, shouldn't you have a meeting with the section chiefs?"
Hawke asked with a smile, Locke walked in and closed the door, Ye Chunwang took out a cup and poured a cup of barley tea for Locke.
"I'm tired!"
Locke pressed his head, and the moment he saw the two of them, the exhaustion on his face was all revealed.
Hawke smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Just know that you are tired, this is the fate of being the chief manager, how can you not be tired?"
Locke took a sip of barley tea and glared at Hawke.
"If you hadn't fooled me all day before, I wouldn't ........"
Ye Chunwang smiled helplessly.
"You can only be a little fat here, and no one else has the ability to be inclusive like you."
Ye Chunwang said and Hawke also nodded.
"I'm not as good as you, and I'm good at reconciling the relationship between the 12 sections, as well as the relationship with the faction of the councilors, the businessmen, and the families, everyone knows that if there is a problem, just go to the manager."
Locke was lying on the table, thinking that he would open a restaurant after finishing his work at the Academy of God, which was also Locke's best pursuit in life, but now this heavy job does not know how long it will last.
"There's one thing I have to tell you Chubby."
Hawke looked serious, and Locke was a little puzzled.
"Wanrou, that kid, seems to be quite decadent lately, can you go and see her?"
For a while, Luo Jiahui's expression became solemn, he had heard some of it, Ye Chunwang nodded.
"Everyone is our student, in school, it will be the best relationship with you, there are some things you have to think about to be chubby, that's a good girl."
"I see, you two, I'm here to discuss something with you."
The two looked at Locke seriously, and immediately knew that it was about the next tax bill.
"It's going to be an unusually fierce argument later, and you can't have it both ways."
Ye Chunwang said, and Luo Jiahui nodded understandingly.
"What do you do about marginalization?"
Locke pressed his head in annoyance, and for a while Hawke and Ye Chunwang shook their heads, and the two of them didn't know how to deal with it, it was obviously a very simple problem, but now it is extremely difficult to deal with it.
"Chubby for what the city meeting is for!"
Locke pressed his head in annoyance, and Ye Chunwang said.
"I've said too many big things in the past, and these big words can't be fulfilled in a short period of time!"
Hawke nodded.
"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, and the trade-offs are the most difficult for us human beings! The era I live in is so chubby, and you know it naturally after following me for so long. ”
