Luo Youlong struggled for a while and decided to adopt Jinbao's suggestion of building a dormitory.
He used the radio to call the villagers to a meeting. As soon as he said that each household should contribute one yuan, everyone who was originally quiet became excited, saying that they had no money and had not eaten rice for several days, and asked them to
Paying one dollar is to force them to death.
"Calm down, why don't you pay fifty cents if you don't have a dollar," Luo Youlong said, "It is a decision from above for these educated young people to go to the countryside. If you don't want them to live in your home, and you don't build a house for them, where can you let them live?
?”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
"I don't have any money anyway..."
"I don't have any money either. It's none of my business where they live."
Seeing that the work was difficult to carry out, Luo Youlong was worried and angry for a while. He couldn't help but said angrily: "I can't do this job anyway. You can choose someone else to be the captain. I won't do it. Whichever of you likes to be...
"
As he was about to walk out of the ancestral temple, a member of the community stopped him anxiously and said, "Captain, our department really has no money!"
"No, it's not that we don't want to cooperate with you in your work. It's true that we don't have the money."
"My family hasn't used soap in months."
"Fifty cents doesn't sound like much, but you can also buy three or four kilograms of rice. You can eat porridge for many days."
Luo Youlong looked at the scrawny old man in front of him and felt very sad. He had been the captain of the village for more than ten years, and now everyone couldn't even afford fifty cents. It was impossible for him, the captain of the production team, to have no responsibility at all.
Jinbao and his father stood in the back row. She recalled it carefully. She remembered reading an article before, saying that subsidies were given to rural areas that accept educated youth, but they were withheld layer by layer...
Many villages never received a penny from the beginning to the end. In fact, they were divided up by the people in the county.
After the meeting was over, she secretly found Luo Youlong alone while her parents were not paying attention, and pulled him to a corner.
"Jinbao, why did you bring me here?" Looking at the little girl beside him, Luo Youlong guessed, "You want to talk about the issue of the dormitory, right? Hey, you saw it too, let alone one dollar.
Everyone can’t even get 50 cents out of their pocket.”
He sighed helplessly, "I also want to build a house, but I really have no money..."
Jinbao looked around for a while, and after making sure there was no one else around, she whispered: "Uncle Luo, I want to ask you, have you heard about the subsidy?"
"Subsidy?"
"Yes, if the village accepts educated youth, there will be a subsidy as the initial money to arrange the daily life of the educated youth. Have you never heard of this?"
Luo Youlong looked confused, "I have never heard of it."
"Do you want to go to the county and ask? There should be subsidies for accepting educated youths," Jinbao said.
Seeing the serious expression on the little girl's face, Luo Youlong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little, and he quickly asked: "Jinbao, are you serious? You didn't lie to your uncle, did you? This kind of thing can't be joked. If there is really a subsidy, then what?
The dormitory matter has been settled."
"Although each province's policies are different, there is no reason why Guangdong doesn't get a single subsidy."
With that said, she added: "Uncle Luo, you'd better go inquire about it and find a way to ask sideways questions. Maybe you can get the money, but I can't vouch for you on this matter..."
Luo Youlong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go to the county and ask."
A few days later, Jinbao almost forgot about building a dormitory, when an excited voice rang out from the first floor, "Old Su, oh, thank you so much, thank you so much!"
Su Jianmin had just driven the ducks back to the duck house when he heard Luo Youlong's joyful voice behind him and turned back with a blank look on his face, "Thank me? What are you thanking me for?"
"Just what you asked Jinbao to remind me that day..."
Thinking that he was afraid that he would offend people by telling him about the subsidy, Luo Youlong walked up to Su Jianmin and lowered his voice, "Anyway, thank you very much. I got the money. Each person has a subsidy of 20 yuan, a total of 160 yuan."
.
If I had not gone to the county to ask, the money would have been gone. Do you think it was a scam or not? I also asked many people to ask...
They were probably afraid that I would tell anyone, so they gave me the money directly."
Su Jianmin was even more confused, "Subsidy?"
"Are you still pretending to be stupid? Oh, forget it. Knowing that you used to be the factory director, you must know a lot of information. You can't tell me this kind of thing directly. You can only ask your daughter to tell me secretly in private.
"
At this point, Luo Youlong did not insist on asking anymore, and said to Su Jianmin: "In short, I, Luo Youlong, recognize you as a friend! You are really my good brother, you have solved a big problem for me! I will have people start building it tomorrow.
house!"
Before Su Jianmin could speak again, Luo Youlong patted his shoulder cheerfully, and then happily strode away from Su's house.
"Jianmin, was Captain Luo here just now? What did he say to you?" Bai Lu asked.
Su Jianmin shook his head in confusion, "I'm not sure."
"Ah? Not sure? I seem to have listened to what you said for a long time..."
"Although I don't know, this matter has something to do with Jinbao. I don't know what Jinbao told him. He got a subsidy from the county," Su Jianmin said with a smile, "Anyway, the dormitory is settled.
, it’s a happy event anyway.”
Less than a week later, the list of educated youths came down. There were six male educated youths and two female educated youths. Five of them were from this province and the other three were from the next province. They were not too far apart.
In order to welcome them, Luo Youlong planned to write a banner and paint a mural on the wall at the entrance of the village to warmly welcome the educated youth. Hearing that Su Wennian was not only good at handwriting, but also good at painting, he specifically approached him and asked him to help with painting.
Su Wenian felt that he had not helped the village with anything since he came to the village, so he agreed without saying a word.
He used paint to draw a picture of people welcoming the educated youth. The educated youth had big red flowers hanging on their chests, and behind them were the villagers beating gongs and drums. The whole painting was lifelike, and the big red letters read, "Warmly welcome the educated youth to the mountains and countryside."
Many people in the village gathered to watch him paint and praised him for how good he was.
The young girls in their teens looked at Su Wenian shyly, their cheeks red.
Although the New Year has not yet been celebrated, New Year's Day has already passed. It is 69 years, and Su Wennian can be regarded as eighteen years old.
His face is full of collagen, and his fair and handsome face is full of youthfulness, gentle and elegant, clean and comely. It can be described with many beautiful words. When he concentrates on painting, there is a gentle charm naturally flowing in his eyes.
Rare among rural men.
Luo Youlong thought he had a good image. After he finished the painting, he couldn't help but said: "Wen Nian, in a few days I will go to the county train station and bus station to pick up educated youths. Can you go with me? That's right.
