The two returned to the family compound. The guard at the gate greeted Song Yun as soon as he saw her. "Doctor Song, the reception desk asked me to tell you that someone claiming to be Liu Xiangqian from Qinghe Village called you and asked you to call back when you're free."
Captain Liu?
Song Yun's heart tightened, wondering if something had happened to her parents.
Song Yun asked Gu Laotou to go back first while she went to the message room to answer a call.
After the call was connected, it rang once and then Captain Liu's voice came over, indicating that someone was guarding the phone.
"Uncle Liu, are you looking for me?"
"Hey, it's me. Yun girl, how are you doing over there?"
Hearing Captain Liu's voice, which seemed cheerful, Song Yun felt relieved. "Everyone is very happy. Are you all here? Is the school built?"
Captain Liu smiled and said, "Hey, we're all happy. School officially opens tomorrow. Teachers Song and Yi are teaching very well, and we're all very happy. I thought I'd tell you so we can celebrate together."
Song Yun was indeed very happy. "That's it."
Captain Liu added, "I've discussed this with several cadres and have decided to set aside two classrooms in the school to set up a Red Education Class. We'll bring in those three- to six-year-olds to start their education and free up the women at home to do other chores."
"This is just a small matter. If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me." Song Yun said.
Captain Liu was a little annoyed. "I heard from the commune secretary that in addition to learning to read and write, the children in the Red Education Class also have to learn painting and singing. We can't buy paintbrushes for children at the supply and marketing cooperative here. I've also checked at the county level, but they don't have any either. They say they're out of stock. I'd like to ask you to help me find some at your place."
So that was it. Song Yun agreed immediately, "Mr., I'll remember this. I'll go look for it in a few days. If I find it, I'll buy it and send it to you."
After talking about a few more things about school, Song Yun asked Captain Liu, "Are my parents all there?"
Captain Liu smiled and said, "They are all very old and familiar with the villagers. Everyone knows they are professors from a top university in Beijing and they all respect them. Elder Qi and Elder Mo are also very old. The children love to learn martial arts from them. They gather around them and call them Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Mo all day long. The two elders are so happy that they want to carry a bag of candy every day when they go out."
Listening to Captain Liu's words, Song Yun's eyes suddenly flashed with images, and she couldn't help but laugh, "They're going to flatten the threshold of the supply and marketing cooperative."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Song Yun made an appointment with Captain Liu to call him again at 12 noon tomorrow and ask him to tell her parents to come over and answer the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Song Yun walked home, wondering where to get the stationery tickets along the way.
She only had grain and oil coupons, and a small amount of industrial coupons. She had used up all her stationery coupons in Heilongjiang Province long ago, and now she didn't have a single one.
She first went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the staff quarters and looked at crayons at the stationery counter. They were five cents a box, and one stationery ticket with a face value of one yuan could buy twenty boxes of crayons.
Of course, most people don't buy twenty boxes of crayons at once. They buy crayons, pencils, notebooks, pencil cases, etc. together, and then buy them after they have enough money to make up a certain amount.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the staff quarters had no crayons in stock, so they only had a few boxes on the counter. There weren't many pencils and notebooks either. If you had tickets, you could probably buy them all for two or three yuan.
Too bad she didn't have a ticket.
As I walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, I met Liang Weijun who came to buy salt. I thought that Liang Xiaoxiao was studying and Liang Weijun was the head of the group, so he might be able to get some stationery tickets and he would have some extra ones.
