Ding Xiaoyun thought for a moment and said: "This matter is indeed abnormal."
"No, I've been thinking about it just now. I just can't figure out what the purpose of County Magistrate Shang is. Publicly and privately speaking, this is a good thing for me, but I don't think he has such good intentions.
" Qiao Liang said.
Ding Xiaoyun nodded. She didn't think Shang Ke was so kind, but she couldn't tell anything based on what Qiao Liang said at this time.
"Since County Magistrate Shang wants to increase your responsibilities, you can't refuse this. After all, he is the county magistrate and has the right to adjust the division of labor among the county government team members. And as far as the matter is concerned, this matter has nothing to do with you.
Disadvantages." Ding Xiaoyun said.
"Well, so I didn't intend to refuse. If I really wanted to refuse, I would have given the truth to others. I was wondering if County Magistrate Shang was also waiting for me to refuse. His intention was to catch me.
They were suspicious, waiting for me to refuse, and then seized on this issue to attack me for disobeying arrangements and being leaderless, so as to achieve the purpose of discrediting me." Qiao Liang said that this was a possibility that he had thought of, although this
This possibility seemed unlikely, but right now it was the only thing he could think of.
"What you said is not impossible, but right now these are just guesses. We can only take one step at a time. Anyway, you just need to be more careful." Ding Xiaoyun said.
"That's right, that's all we can do now." Qiao Liang nodded.
After staying in Ding Xiaoyun's office for less than half an hour, Qiao Liang left immediately. The two chatted back and forth but could not figure out what Shang Ke's purpose was. As Ding Xiaoyun said, we can only take one step at a time and be more careful.
Time passed in the evening, and Qiao Liang asked Ding Xiaoyun to have dinner together, but Ding Xiaoyun declined. Qiao Liang could see that Ding Xiaoyun seemed not used to getting along with him in private now. This may be related to the fact that Ding Xiaoyun has not adjusted her mentality yet.
Unable to make an appointment with Ding Xiaoyun, Qiao Liang went to Ma Yuanxiang's place in the evening. Ma Yuanxiang happened to call him and knew that he would come back from Jiangzhou later in the year and asked him to come over for dinner in the evening.
Arriving at Ma Yuanxiang's house, Qiao Liang smelled the familiar smell of rice as soon as she entered the door, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that every woman's cooking has her own unique taste."
"Really?" Ma Yuanxiang looked at Qiao Liang with a gentle smile on his face, "Then what does the food I cook taste like?"
"The taste of home." Qiao Liang said with a smile. Looking at the gentle and lovely Ma Yuanxiang in front of him, Qiao Liang felt a little dazed. When he mentioned home, he thought of Zhang Mei. During the several years of marriage between the two, Zhang Mei seemed not to give him good things.
Made a meal.
Feeling something in her heart, Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yuanxiang blankly: "You are a good woman. Whoever marries you in the future will be happy forever."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I won't get married. After Anfu passed away, I never thought about getting married again. I'm fine on my own." Ma Yuanxiang looked downcast. Thinking of her deceased husband, Ma Yuanxiang felt a little uncomfortable.
Qiao Liang saw Ma Yuanxiang's expression and said quickly: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought up this topic."
Ma Yuanxiang shook his head and wiped the corners of his eyes: "It's okay."
"Eat and eat, don't mention those sad things." Qiao Liang secretly scolded herself for being such a mean-mouthed person, why she wouldn't open any pot.
"Okay." Ma Yuanxiang nodded and took off her apron.
"Bring a bottle of wine, let's have a drink tonight." Qiao Liang said.
When Ma Yuanxiang heard this, she immediately went to get some wine and had dinner and drinks with Qiao Liang. This was probably her happiest time now.
The two were eating and drinking. Qiao Liang asked Ma Yuanxiang where she spent the New Year. Then she learned that Ma Yuanxiang went to her hometown in the countryside to accompany her mother-in-law on New Year's Eve.
I have to rush back to the county town.
From this point of view, Ma Yuanxiang is a good filial woman in the traditional sense. Although her husband Wang Anfu has passed away, she still regards her mother-in-law as a relative and has been thinking about it in her heart. In today's materialistic society, how can she do this?
There are not many women left.
"Does your school have someone on duty every day?" Qiao Liang couldn't help but ask after hearing that Ma Yuanxiang was on duty on the fourth day of junior high school.
"Absolutely. There are two teachers on duty every day. The school is also a public institution. In fact, just like your government department, there are always people on duty during holidays. If it weren't for the duty on the fourth day of the new year, I wouldn't have come back so early." Ma Yuanxiang said.
Then he paused and then said, "And our Liangbei County has its own special situation. It is a vast area and sparsely populated. Many children who come to school in the countryside will stay in school because their homes are too far away and they will not go back during the winter and summer vacations.
this
Some students stay in school for work-study purposes. After all, there are many opportunities to work in the county and they can use their vacation time to earn some living expenses. Some stay to study, hoping to get into a good university and change their destiny. So
In order to facilitate the care of these students, the school will allocate some separate dormitories during winter and summer vacations for students staying on campus, and arrange teachers on duty every day, also for the purpose of taking care of this small group of students."
"There are students who don't go back during the winter vacation? Don't they go back to celebrate the New Year?" Qiao Liang asked strangely.
"Most of them will go back to celebrate the New Year, but a small number will still stay. Some of them are from very poor families and hope to use the holidays to work in the county to earn some money to supplement their families. Some of them have both parents passed away and are relying on
They can only study with the help of relatives, so it doesn't matter whether they go back or not. After all, there is no one at home, so they will choose to stay in school." Ma Yuanxiang explained.
"The ones you mentioned are all students from poor families." Qiao Liang's heart suddenly became heavy when he heard this.
"Well, it's generally like this." Ma Yuanxiang sighed, "Who wants to stay in school if they come from a good family and can go back and reunite happily with their family."
"Well, it can be seen that our poverty alleviation work in Liangbei County still has a long way to go." Qiao Liang frowned tightly. When he talked about poverty alleviation, he returned to the work he was in charge of. Qiao Liang deeply felt the burden on his shoulders.
Still very heavy.
"You are the county leader in charge of poverty alleviation. Can you think of something to do for these poor students?" Ma Yuanxiang looked at Qiao Liang carefully.
"Your suggestion is very good and timely. In the poverty alleviation work I did before, I neglected education. In fact, poverty alleviation should first support the intellectual. The root lies in education. Only the younger generation has mastered the knowledge.
Only in this way can we truly get rid of poverty and become rich." Qiao Liang said thoughtfully. It's not that the work he did before was wrong, but that he neglected to help poor students. Qiao Liang felt that this would be his future
The shortcomings that should be addressed in the work.
After thinking about it, Qiao Liang said again: "I will ask the staff of the Poverty Alleviation Office to work with the Education Bureau to come up with a practical assistance measure for poor students in the county."
"Really? That's great." Ma Yuanxiang looked at Qiao Liang with bright eyes and a face full of excitement. She didn't expect that her casual words could help poor students in the county.
"Come, cheers to your proposal, and thank you for pointing out the shortcomings in my work." Qiao Liang said.
"What you said makes me feel embarrassed. I just said it casually. It's not that powerful." Ma Yuanxiang said embarrassedly.
"Anyway, just cheers." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
The two of them clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp. Ma Yuanxiang's face was prone to redness after drinking. After two or three glasses of wine, her fair face was already red again.
After talking a lot after drinking, Ma Yuanxiang couldn't help but mention what happened in school today, and said: "You know, a girl in our school committed suicide by jumping off the building today, which scared the female teacher on duty. That female teacher happened to be
The teacher I was in the same class with just called me in the evening, her voice was still trembling, and she said that she was afraid to sleep at night because she was afraid of nightmares, so she asked me to accompany her."
"Aren't there two teachers on duty? What is she afraid of?" Qiao Liang wondered.
"The other teacher on duty is a man. The two of them sleep in a room each. She can't sleep with him in her arms," Ma Yuanxiang said.
When Qiao Liang heard this, he suddenly realized that this was the case.
Ma Yuanxiang added at this time: "So I have to go to school after dinner later, and I have to spend the night with her at school."
Qiao Liang blinked after hearing this: "So, I have to leave after eating?"
Ma Yuanxiang's face turned red, she lowered her head and said, "Let's do it tomorrow night. You can come over for dinner tomorrow night, but... you can stay the night."
Seeing Ma Yuanxiang's shy look, Qiao Liang couldn't help but laugh. The two of them had been together several times, and Ma Yuanxiang was still like a shy little daughter-in-law. However, Qiao Liang was just teasing Ma Yuanxiang at the moment. It didn't matter whether he stayed for the night or not.
It didn't matter, but Qiao Liang was a little curious about the female student and asked: "Why did the female student jump off the building?"
"I don't know yet. Anyway, after the police came, they determined it was a suicide. There is no further explanation for the time being." Ma Yuanxiang frowned, with a look of pain on her face, "I don't know why I can't think about it. At such a young age, this life is full of troubles."
It’s just the beginning, why did the little girl’s family take such an extreme path?”
Qiao Liang nodded when he heard this. He didn't know the reason, and Qiao Liang couldn't express much opinion, but it was really heartbreaking to see a young life wither away.
Qiao Liang was silent, and Ma Yuanxiang continued: "In fact, our current exam-oriented education has a big problem. It only focuses on students' grades and ignores students' psychological education. Now many students' psychological quality is not good, coupled with excessive study pressure
There are many students who have more or less psychological problems."
Ma Yuanxiang is an educator, so she feels deeply about this. After Qiao Liang heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head and said, "Actually, you should report your ideas to your superiors."
"I'm just a little teacher, and I'm of little use." Ma Yuanxiang shook her head repeatedly and said with a wry smile.
"Whether it's useful or not, you'll have to reflect on it to find out." Qiao Liang said.
"It's useless. The leaders won't listen to my little teacher's voice. Besides, this is a problem of the entire social environment and cannot be solved by a mere county education bureau." Ma Yuanxiang said.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang thought about it carefully and realized that what Ma Yuanxiang said was indeed reasonable. It was only because the other party was an educator that he felt so deeply about this issue.
The two chatted while eating. After dinner, Ma Yuanxiang had to go to school to accompany her female colleague on duty for the night, so Qiao Liang went directly back to the dormitory.
