Chapter 294 Interrogation of Lu Yuxiu
"That's right!" Yang Hongmei immediately raised her hand in agreement when she heard this, "It's just building a house! I'll help you when the time comes!"
"I'm coming too!" Everyone was infected and started shouting together.
Although the voices were not uniform at all and were quite noisy, Lin Xia did not find it noisy at all. There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth that she was not even aware of.
After dispersing everyone, Lin Xia took her children and followed Director Pei back to work overtime. She had been given half a day off today to register the children, but now it was all gone.
Zhu Airong was nowhere to be seen, and Ding Qin followed behind with the child.
The principal was busy reporting the school's situation to the county. Although he knew that the hope of obtaining funds to build a school was slim, he had to give it a try.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Director Pei regretted asking this question. She didn't know how to solve the problem, so what good idea could Lin Xia come up with?
Lin Xia shook her head slightly. She really didn't have any good solution, but she couldn't just join in complaining about the previous scene.
Ding Qin had no better idea and also shook her head.
"Can the county allocate funds?" Lin Xia asked Director Pei. She had been here for a short time and had only heard a few words about the school's establishment process, so she didn't know much about it.
"It's difficult. The house was empty before, and the camp was set up here. Gradually, more and more family members came to follow the army, and they found that there was no school. In addition, the children in the village had to walk a long way to go to school, so we built this school." Director Pei knew that the funds of the county commune were also very tight, and there was no money allocated at all.
Lin Xia was also a little worried, and her mind was racing to find a solution.
When they arrived at the office, Zhu Airong had returned to the office without knowing when. Wang Jiao stood up holding the child and asked, "How is school going?"
She only heard that the school collapsed and thought it was a small matter at first. But later she heard that it had to be rebuilt and she couldn't help but worry.
If something happens at school, the Women's Federation must get involved and help.
Director Pei walked into the office with a worried look on his face. After Lin Xia arranged the children, she saw Wang Jiao's worried look and told her about the situation.
"What should we do?" Wang Jiao was also very clear about the situation of the Women's Federation. They had some money, but it was definitely not enough to build a house.
Lin Xia was brainstorming, thinking about how to raise some money, when he suddenly thought of what happened in the future and had an idea.
I stood up and was about to go find Director Pei when I heard Director Pei's voice.
"Comrades, let's have a meeting here."
Lin Xia stood up first, followed by Wang Jiao. Ding Qin and Zhu Airong looked at each other and took a step back. They sat on both sides of a large table, with Director Pei sitting at the seat of honor.
"There are two things to be discussed in this meeting. The main one is the reconstruction of the school. You should use your brains to think about it. The military also called, but as you know, the conditions there are also difficult." Director Pei went straight to the point and glanced around, taking in the expressions of several people.
"There is a second thing, which was supposed to be discussed in the meeting this afternoon. It is still an old problem in the army." After Director Pei finished speaking, Lin Xia noticed that Ding Qin curled her lips and suddenly became a little curious about this old problem.
"I've introduced all the girls I know to me, but it's really too difficult." Ding Qin complained to Director Pei. Hearing her words, Director Pei frowned and looked embarrassed.
"There's nothing we can do. You guys just look for it again." After Director Pei finished talking about the two most important things, he hurried back to the office with the documents.
Lin Xia looked at Zhu Airong again and saw the same expression, and was even more curious about what kind of old question it was.
Wang Jiao saw Lin Xia's confused expression and found it funny but also worried. "It's those older unmarried young men in the army. Every year the army leaders ask the director to find someone to arrange it, but it's always too difficult to succeed."
This was the first time Lin Xia heard of such a thing, and she was surprised. Wang Jiao explained to her, "There are many successful girls in the nearby villages, but there are still not enough people. We can only go to Xiang County and the girls who went to the countryside, but in the end, only a few succeeded."
After Wang Jiao explained the reasons to Lin Xia in detail, Lin Xia finally understood why there were so many single people. She was very curious whether this was also the reason why Lu Yuxiu was still single at the age of 27.
According to Wang Jiao, the reason for the failure of blind dates in the past was that the girls in the county town who were able to stay there had jobs, and they would rather find someone who was also in the city and were unwilling to come here.
If they come, their jobs will be gone and their husbands are often not at home, so many girls have to weigh the pros and cons and refuse.
When Lin Xia heard this, she also felt that there was nothing wrong with the girls' ideas. Everyone made different choices and there was no right or wrong.
But now she has to do her job and deal with those single older men.
Although they are often not at home, it is because they are defending the country. Without their efforts and dedication, how can there be a peaceful life?
Those bad defects cannot be solved indeed, but Lin Xia feels that their conditions still have many advantages. After all, high allowance is an advantage, and everyone being strong and healthy can also be considered an advantage. From another perspective, the problem of being often away from home can actually be turned into an advantage.
The most important advantage is that most girls who marry here at least don’t have to live with their mother-in-law, but this may not be the case if they find a city guy.
By the time she got off work, Lin Xia had a vague idea in her mind, but it was not perfect, so she did not go to see Director Pei.
At night, after the children fell asleep, Lin Xia and Lu Yuxiu lay on the bed and chatted.
The two talked about the collapse of the school. Lu Yuxiu said that the army should be able to help, but it would be difficult to help everyone, but they would probably provide manpower to build the house.
Lin Xia had roughly guessed that this would happen and already had a plan in mind, so she was no longer so worried about rebuilding the school.
Thinking of what Wang Jiao said, Lin Xia turned over from Lu Yuxiu's arms, stared at him and asked, "How many times did you go on a blind date?"
Lu Yuxiu was stunned by Lin Xia's question, and the alarm bells in his heart immediately rang.
"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Lu Yuxiu asked back calmly.
