Chapter 608 Support
The straightforward President Yu stared at the silent Lin Gang and said, "I'm asking you a question. If you didn't hear me clearly, have Officer Li repeat it to you again."
Police officer Li frowned.
Is it difficult for children to go to school?
If you agree, then agree; if you disagree, then forget it. Look at how these people have caused so much trouble.
What's wrong with the people in this village?
The brigade leader and the women's director are both quite reasonable, and they seem to have done a lot of work.
They just happened to run into someone like that.
Then Officer Li said sternly, "Lin Gang, Chief Yu is asking if your two children can go to school tomorrow?"
Lin Gang glanced at his silent wife and stammered, "It's not that I disagree, it's just that neither of them wants to go to school. If you ask me, you should go and see other families. If there's a child who loves to study, send him/her there. If not, just leave the child alone."
Lu Qiaoge: "Comrade Lin Gang, give us a general direction and we'll send people to look for them. Children are the future of our country. Only by learning scientific and cultural knowledge can they better build our motherland."
Moreover, even raising ducks and geese requires scientific knowledge.
So there must be a reason why they don't like to read.
It's wrong for adults to just let children do whatever they want if they don't want to study.
So, where did your child go to play?
A member of the commune burst out laughing and said loudly, "Director Lu, Director Yu, don't be fooled by him. Those two kids love to read. They even bring their books with them when they're herding ducks."
So how could they not want to study?
That couple is heartless. They don't even give their child breakfast in the morning, and instead send him out to herd ducks.
It should be in the meadow right now, should I go look for it?
President Yu was very pleased, as there were still many reasonable, progressive, and outspoken members in the society.
He said in a deep voice, "I remember you, your name is Liu Shuanzhu. Okay, you go with the commune's security officer."
Liu Shuanzhu readily agreed.
The head of the local police station is currently at Old Cao's house, and another security guard has come here with Chief Yu.
The courtyard fell silent for a moment.
An old woman pursed her lips and whispered to the woman next to her, "Lin Gang's wife is so docile now? Isn't she usually so loud and boastful? If anyone tries to interfere in her family's affairs, she'll... jump three times high."
Another auntie said, "Oh dear, don't you see who came today? They're all bullies who prey on the weak!"
"Actually, I also think this is a difficult situation. Even if we agree to let the two kids go to school, they might not be allowed to go again after a few days. Are we going to have to ask the higher-ups to come and intervene again?"
"It was all our fault to begin with. The sideline businesses that the higher-ups were developing were meant to improve our lives, not to give these kids more work."
“Yes, my son even said that if there were no down jacket factories, he wouldn’t have to do so much work.”
"Isn't that being ungrateful? Isn't making money a good thing? With money and all sorts of coupons, we can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food and drinks."
Old Liu from the down jacket factory didn't look too good.
He looked at Lu Qiaoge, who had a calm and composed expression, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words.
This is, after all, a very small minority of voices.
Besides, this is the parents' problem, not theirs.
President Yu didn't want to listen to the members' discussions.
Although the sound was very soft, some of the words could still be heard.
After all, these people are used to speaking loudly.
So President Yu said to the old principal, "Aren't there two other families in this village? Let's go check on those two families first. Once those two families are dealt with, Lin Gang's child should be found too."
The former principal shared the same idea.
So the group went to the third house.
This child doesn't like going to school.
But parents do want their children to go to school.
I was just watching the spectacle, hoping these leaders would discipline the child so he would study hard.
After some criticism and education, the child earnestly agreed to go back to school the next day.
The situation at the fourth company was similar to that at the third company.
The matter was resolved quickly and efficiently.
Parents are generally timid, but seeing this scene and knowing the situation of the previous families, they knew that the leaders above were definitely not just going through the motions.
We really need to resolve this matter.
So I agreed to send his two daughters to school.
President Yu finally showed a relieved smile.
He told Lu Qiaoge, "Our members are quite conscientious."
Lu Qiaoge nodded in agreement.
Just target a few typical cases; the majority are still good.
Lu Qiaoge considered for a moment and then said with a smile, "Xiangyang Food Factory is preparing to provide free education for children from impoverished families. The relevant rules and regulations for the free education program will be issued in the form of a document. The team leaders will compile the information and report it to their respective communes. I might have to trouble Director Yu to take care of it."
President Yu's eyes were bright, but the old principal was excited and wanted to hold Lu Qiaoge's hand and say thank you repeatedly.
Then Lu Qiaoge told the old principal that she would provide corresponding support to primary schools in rural areas.
At that time, there was no concept of donating to rural schools.
But support is available.
The former principal and Teacher Yin never expected such a pleasant surprise.
His eyes welled up with tears of joy.
Then the two children were found.
She was thin and small, dressed in rags, and looked so pitiful.
President Yu gently asked them what they thought, but the two children didn't dare to speak. They just kept looking at Lin Gang and his wife.
But in the end, the two children told the truth.
The main reason is that Lin Gang's eldest son is very strong and mature at a young age. He said he would get up early and go to bed late, and he would never let studying interfere with his work.
Lin Gang's wife was slapping her thigh, ready to wail.
Lu Qiaoge interrupted her in time: "Don't cry. Our food factory has some corresponding reward measures. For example, after the two of them go to school, the food factory will cover their tuition and all expenses related to their studies. The better their grades, the higher the reward. There will be an award standard set up..."
Lu Qiaoge doesn't have a complete plan in this regard, but once she has the idea, she can almost always perfect it very quickly.
The more she spoke, the brighter their eyes became.
Lin Gang's eldest son and daughter had bright, sparkling eyes and were clenching their little fists, confident that they would receive a reward.
Lin Gang's wife stared wide-eyed and opened her mouth, unsure whether to cry or curse.
Someone scoffed and said, "Lin Gang's wife, you'd better not stop the child from studying this time. Xiao Jun is smart, although not as smart as Cao Zhaozhao. But Cao Zhaozhao went to the army, so he'll definitely get first place. Just wait and see how much money you make."
So someone asked Lu Qiaoge, "Director Lu, will that reward system always be in place?"
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "This reward system will continue to exist for schools with difficult conditions and students from families with financial difficulties, once approved by higher authorities."
