Chapter 444: Countdown to Return to City (Part 2)

Han Li drove the carriage to the Education Bureau and tied it up, then came to Hou Xiujuan's office.

When Hou Xiujuan saw Han Li approaching with a big belly, she was about to stand up. Han Li quickly took two steps and held her down.

"Here comes my brother. I was still talking about you this morning."

"Sister, don't move. We don't need to be so polite. Brother Niu didn't come here today?"

"There is a material mobilization meeting at the supply and marketing cooperative today, and he can't go unless he goes."

Han Li then checked Hou Xiujuan's pulse. She was in good physical condition, but her belly was really too big.

"Sister, your health and the baby are both good. After all, you are pregnant with twins. For safety reasons, I suggest you take leave as soon as possible. If circumstances permit, it is best to go to the city hospital in advance to wait for delivery. After all, the The medical conditions are better.”

The two chatted for a while, but mostly Han Li talked about some things he knew he needed to pay attention to during production.

After chatting for a while, just when Han Li was about to say goodbye and leave, there was a commotion outside.

Han Li looked out of the window with some doubts, and Hou Xiujuan said from across the table.

"Don't pay attention. These are the educated youth substitute teachers who come here to seek explanations because they are dissatisfied with the lack of money given to them by the brigade. This happens every year during this season."

"Does the Education Bureau care about this?"

"There is no way to control it. We manage the regular teachers with established staff, and their salaries are strictly in accordance with national standards. However, most of these substitute teachers are privately recruited by various brigades, and the conditions were negotiated by them at the beginning. Their salaries are gone. It is the work point subsidy from the brigade headquarters and the village committee.

At this point, if you dislike Qian Shao and want our unit to make up for this gap, how is that possible! The key is that they went to the wrong temple. The salaries of our employees and teachers on staff are all paid by the county finance, and there is no spare energy or money to help them solve this problem.

Moreover, no one dared to solve this problem for them until there was no clear document instruction from their superiors. Otherwise, a school that only needs ten teachers would have the production team dare to turn it into a hundred or two hundred teachers. Even three hundred teachers, asking so many people to teach dozens of children at the same time, isn't this a joke?

If it really comes to that, who will pay for this wronged money? But if they don't come out, there will be big problems. Therefore, let alone the Education Bureau, even if they find the Ideological and Political Office, the city, the region, and the province, no one dares to open this hole that will cause endless trouble. "

Han Li was indeed a little aggrieved for these substitute teachers at first, but Hou Xiujuan's words immediately made him understand. Not all villages are Shanghe Villages, and not all village chiefs are Zhao Shengli. Most human nature is Greedy and selfish.

If there were no strict relevant systems and clear regulations to maintain, those greedy and selfish captains and village chiefs would definitely dare to do what Hou Xiujuan said.

Two to three hundred people may be a bit exaggerated, but those people would at least stuff their three aunts, six wives, seventh nephews, eighth nieces, and concubines into it, because in their view, this matter is just a piece of wool, and it is not public property. If the wool is not sheared, it will be white.

The most important thing is that if these people are given money by the government, they will dare to cause trouble if they are not given money later. If there is a group incident at that time, whoever opens the hole will take the blame.

It was noisy outside, so Han Li didn't let Hou Xiujuan go out, but she still sent it to the door of the house.

When Han Li untied the horse and led it to turn around, a man suddenly walked up to him and said with a smile on his face.

"Han Li, long time no see? Why are you here at the Education Bureau?"

Only then did Han Li realize that the person blocking his way was the "good guy" Wei Chunlan who had left Shanghe Village.

"It's been a long time, Comrade Wei. I see that you are much fairer now than when you were in Shanghe Village. It seems that you have been living a good life recently."

"Han Li, please stop teasing me. I've heard people say that you are now a health worker in Shanghe Village, and you are no better than a substitute teacher like me who can hardly make it through life.

This is a rare encounter between the two of us. Let me treat you to dinner today at noon. It just so happens that we can have a good chat. I also want to hear how my friends in Shanghe Village are doing now. "

Han Li saw that Wei Chunlan knew that she was a hygienist, but did not know that she was now a qualified doctor, which meant that she heard the news from other places, rather than someone from Shanghe Village telling her that although she called "good guy" " was very tempting, but Han Li had no intention of provoking such a woman, so he said calmly.

"I'm really sorry about this. I still have a mission in the village and I can't delay it. Anyway, you are familiar with the road from the county town to Shanghe Village. If you miss your comrades, go back and have a look. It's better to revisit an old place than to listen to other people's introductions."

After Han Li finished speaking, he pulled the reins around Wei Chunlan and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, this woman followed him.

"Han Li, where are you going? If you are not in a hurry, I would really like to treat you to a meal."

"There's really no need for that. I still have a lot of things to do. Let's talk about it when we have a chance."

As Han Li spoke, he jumped directly onto the carriage, reached out and patted the horse's butt gently, and the carriage rushed out with a swish, leaving Wei Chunlan in the same place.

Wei Chunlan stretched out her hand and wanted to say something else, but the horse had already run far away.

But she was unwilling to give up like this, and then turned her attention to the room where Han Li just came out.

Wei Chunlan knew that was the office of Director Hou Xiujuan. She had also heard from the principal about the situation of this person's family, so she gritted her teeth and walked over there, and then knocked on Hou Xiujuan's door frame.

Bang, bang, bang

"Hello, Director Hou, I am Wei Chunlan, a substitute teacher in Toudaogou. I had a good relationship with Han Li when I was sent to Shanghe Village."

"Wei Chunlan? I haven't heard Han Li mention you? What's the matter with you?"

"Hehe. Han Li may not have time to tell you, but he told me about you."

Hou Xiujuan frowned when she heard this. Whether it was her understanding of Han Li or her family's investigation from other aspects, Han Li has never been a talkative person. At this moment, she already knew what Wei Chunlan was thinking.

"Oh, I'll ask Han Li when I see him another day. Do you have anything else to say?"

"Director Hou, I heard that there are two regularization quotas for substitute teachers in the county recently. I wonder..."

"Regularization quotas? I don't know where you heard the news from. Anyway, I haven't heard of this. Maybe my position is not high enough. Otherwise, you can go to other places to ask."

Hou Xiujuan's words were very obvious, but Wei Chunlan didn't seem to understand this at all. However, she heard the other party's refusal, so she wanted to try harder. She said aside.

"Director Hou, you are joking."

Hou Xiujuan saw that this person was so unruly and immediately interrupted what she wanted to say next.

"I'm not joking. Comrade Wei Chunlan, it's better to be down-to-earth. As long as you teach students well and get corresponding results, when there are really quotas, the leaders of the bureau will definitely give priority to you. Now I have a lot of things to do here. If you don't have anything else, please help me close the door, okay?"

Wei Chunlan..

Han Li didn't think much about meeting Wei Chunlan again, and he didn't know that she would go to Hou Xiujuan under his name.

At this time, he drove the carriage to the Youth Office. Unfortunately, Aunt Liu didn't go to work today, so he went to Aunt Liu's house.

At this time, only the little girl Ding Yulan was at home. When she opened the door, she saw Han Li carrying a snakeskin bag full of things.

"Brother Han, you came just now, what else do you bring? My mother will definitely nag you if she is at home."

"Aunt Liu is not at home?"

"My mother went to the district for a meeting this morning, and I don't know when she will be back. My father is in the county for a meeting. It seems to be about conscription. Anyway, they are all busy and I am the only one at home."

"Then why didn't you go to school?"

"The school is too noisy, it's better for me to read books with my family."

Han Li took the tea made by Ding Yulan and talked about his recent return to Sijiu City to visit relatives during the New Year.

After hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly sat over and asked expectantly.

"Brother Han, can you please tell my mom to take me with you when you go back this year? I have no memory of what my mom said about the things in Sijiu City. It would be great if I could go and see it with my own eyes."

"I would definitely welcome you to go to Sijiu City, but I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you if you go this year. However, I have two older sisters and a younger sister at home who can take you around."

"Why?"

"I'm going to take my partner with me when I go back this year, and I'll have to visit their home, so I won't have time to play with you."

"Ah, forget it, my mom said that There are many hutong darts in the nearby alleys. It is not safe to hang out with girls. I will wait until you don't have to visit your in-laws next year before I go with you. "

"These hutong darts are the same as the street darts here. There will be them at any time, but as long as you don't provoke them, there will be nothing to worry about. "

"Forget it this year. I just had a sudden impulse. My mother doesn't know and I haven't prepared anything. It's not too late to go next year after I tell my mother in advance."

Han Li chatted with Ding Yulan for a while and drank two cups of tea. They agreed to take her around the city in person next year and then left.

Then Han Li went to the black market near the county hospital and exchanged some money and tickets with gold bars. These were left for Qi Zhaodi and others to collect goods before they left.

Finally, he went to the place in the grove next to the abandoned factory in the north of the city. Unfortunately, he didn't see anything he liked here. He only exchanged some nuts from the villagers.

But at this time, everyone in Shanghe Village was in a lively and cheerful ocean.
