"Fuqing family, when did your family donate pork? That's really generous!"
"Yeah! Wouldn't it be nice to eat that pound of meat yourself? Why donate it?"
Wang Fuqing's face turned pale and red.
Why did he endure the pain of delivering pork to the captain? Wasn't it so that his son could become a teacher at the school?
As a result, the captain...
well!
He couldn't afford to offend the captain, so he had no choice but to accept the matter.
Those who didn't give gifts didn't know what to do, but those who did gave gifts had a rough idea of what Captain Fang meant.
You know it, but can you say it in public?
cannot!
This is a bribe!
The kind that will be paraded through the streets.
The two of them went on stage, signed silently, and received red flowers.
㱗In public, no one would make the mistake of saying that he was not making a donation but giving a gift.
They thought that getting a red silk flower the size of a palm would be the end of it.
Unexpectedly, Fang Qingshan personally put big red flowers on the two of them.
Bring the flowers, the captain said loudly:
"Thank you both comrades for your contribution to our 7th Company's primary school!"
As he spoke, Captain Fang was the first to applaud.
Everyone's applause instantly dispelled the unhappiness in the two people's hearts.
People at that time still valued honor very much. It was a matter of face for so many people to be praised by the captain. Some people would never have such a glorious moment in their entire lives!
After the applause ended, the two men walked down with little red flowers on their chests, chests puffed out, and looked very proud and confident.
After the two of them went down, Captain Fang read out the names of other people.
The process is the same as the previous two people, signing and wearing a little red flower.
Having seen the glory of the people in front receiving the red flowers, those who originally felt that they had been deceived by the captain no longer felt deceived. Instead, they secretly hoped that the captain would call out their names soon.
Those who didn't give gifts secretly regretted that they should have given the captain some sauerkraut earlier. Home-pickled sauerkraut doesn't cost money, and it can also be a source of glory. It's a sure-win business.
Of course, everyone just thought so. If they really gave sauerkraut to the captain, it would not be to please the captain, but to offend him.
Soon it was the turn of the educated youth to receive their gifts.
"Gu Chengfeng, ten dollars."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the educated youth differently.
Unexpectedly, the low-key-looking Gu Zhiqing is the richest one!
This was sent by Gu Zhiqing on behalf of Lu Rongrong.
Lu Rongrong was determined to become a primary school teacher; she didn't want to work in the fields anymore.
Yi Xiaoqiu felt relieved when he heard the captain's words and the discussions of the people around him.
When she learned of the captain's intentions, she was worried about showing off her wealth and being targeted. But now, in the face of Gu Zhiqing's huge sum of ten yuan, her gift was nothing.
Song Ying gave two cured chickens and a dollar.
She wasn't particularly interested in being a teacher, but she couldn't resist the constant flow of people giving her gifts! Everyone at the educated youth center gave gifts, even Qian Donglai, who was so poor he couldn't afford to eat, gave two pounds of fat meat. How could she afford to give less?
Don't ask her how she knew that, she just happened to see Qian Donglai going out.
Su Mianmian gave me dried fruit, more than ten pounds of dried fruit for an extra dollar.
In short, the educated youth were more or less generous in what they took than the party members and farm workers.
It wasn't until Shen Ruofei's name was called that everyone lost their composure again.
Shen Zhiqing actually gave me Maotai, plus a pound of sugar, for ten yuan.
Oh my god! These people can't even afford the local Beida Cang, let alone Moutai, which they can only watch from afar.
This captain is really willing to spend it all to exchange for money?
Although Yi Xiaoqiu's things were also valuable, they were not as shocking as Shen Ruofei's.
After all, no one knows what the cloth she sent looks like or how much it costs per foot.
"Okay, that's all for today. For every family that donates, one child over the age of seven can go to school for free for one year."
As for the educated youth...
Captain Fang glanced at the dozen or so educated youth and said, "Take the exam as usual."
Yi Xiaoqiu quickly raised her hand, "Captain, can I give my spot to another child?"
Fang Qingshan nodded. "As long as they are children from the Seventh Company, they are all fine."
"Then I will give the opportunity to go to school to Guo Xiaochuan and his sister." Yi Xiaoqiu said without hesitation.
There is no need to mention Guo Xiaochuan's age. Xiaocao is just seven years old this year, which is just the right age.
Even if there are not enough places, Yi Xiaoqiu feels that it is worthwhile for her to ask Shen Ruofei for a favor.
Captain Fang did not refuse when he saw Yi Xiaoqiu donated so many things.
"Sure. As for recruiting teachers, once the school is built, those who want to be teachers can sign up and take the exam."
It seems that Captain Fang has no intention of opening a back door for anyone.
Yi Xiaoqiu could understand that with so many people giving gifts, it would be inappropriate to give it to anyone else. This was the best way.
Gu Chengfeng discussed it with everyone and said, "Captain, since none of us have children, let's give the quota to the children in need in the company!"
"That's no problem. Everyone who recommends one child can study there for one year for free," Fang Qingshan added.
There is no problem with a few educated youth. They don't need the quota, so it would be a waste to leave it there. It would be better to give it to someone in need, and at the same time, you can build good relationships with some villagers.
Once the meeting was over, no one would say anything about Captain Fang accepting gifts. After all, who would accept a gift and read it out to everyone?
After everyone calmed down, although they were dissatisfied with this matter, the captain of the Seventh Company was the most powerful, and no one dared to offend the captain, let alone ask the captain for the gift.
After being praised like that just now, who would have the nerve to ask for the things that were given away?
Yi Xiaoqiu thought this was pretty good. She hadn't expected a gift at all. People had arranged a teaching job for her. Now it was good enough, and Guo Xiaochuan and his sister didn't have to pay tuition for their first year of school.
The construction of the school is in full swing, and preparations for spring plowing are also underway.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people busy at the educated youth site, Yi Xiaoqiu went to school on the second day after the construction of the school started.
He went to ask his uncle when he could place an order.
Yi Xiaoqiu rode her bicycle to the old house of Sister Sun, let the housekeeper out to clean the house, and she went to Sister Sun's house with a bag of egg cakes and a smoked duck.
This time Yi Xiaoqiu came to pay the rent and to wish everyone a happy new year.
Sun Miao was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Yi Xiaoqiu.
She has tasted the sweetness now. No matter what the girl in front of her rents her house for, as long as it is not against the law, she will turn a blind eye no matter what she uses her house for.
Two dollars a month, that’s great, right?
Yi Xiaoqiu paid a year's rent in one lump sum, 24 yuan. She put down the things she had brought with her, went back to the old house, and cleaned it with the housekeeper before leaving.
Arriving at the educated youth site, Yi Xiaoqiu informed the members of the speculation team one by one.
"We have a batch of pork this time, 0.5g per pound. How much do you want?" Yi Xiaoqiu came over and found Shen Ruofei first.
At this time, the Chinese New Year had just passed, and every household actually had some meat, but that didn't mean everyone had enough.
