"Come to our school to study? That's not allowed. There are regulations." The old man squinted his eyes. It sounded like he wanted to come to study, so he refused directly.
Even if it means paying sponsorship fees or something like that, it won't work.
"No, no, our school, this is all education funding, how can we do this? Isn't this chaos?" The old man in the communication room looked upright.
It seems that it is impossible to rely on him to establish connections and help pull the strings.
"My sister is pitiful. She likes to study. My family used to be poor and couldn't provide for her to study. Now I finally want her to study. But in the end, there is no chance. Alas, I'm sorry for my sister." Xu Erlong looked depressed and played the emotional card.
.
He is the elder brother and he must take good care of his sister. This is a man's basic responsibility.
The old man in the reception room softened his tone: "Our schools are all managed by the Education Bureau. We cannot just accept students casually. There are rules. I will show you a way."
Unexpectedly, after looking at several schools, they simply wouldn't accept students in Xiaoling's situation, even if they asked to pay sponsorship fees.
Could it be that, if you want to study, you still can’t do it?
One of the old janitors said a little more: "Our schools are under the management of the Education Bureau and cannot accept students at will. There are rules. Seeing your sincerity, I will show you a way."
Looking around to make sure no one was there, he came closer and said slightly mysteriously: "There are so many factories in our county, and those big factories have their own schools..."
With this reminder, Xu Erlong woke up from a dream.
Nowadays, state-owned factories and mines are very powerful. They not only have their own hospitals, but also nurseries, kindergartens, children's schools, etc.
Children from factories and mines attend children's schools, and in the future they can also take classes from their parents.
"Thank you." Xu Erlong handed the old man a cigarette again: "I'll go to the children's school and ask."
He also met a few acquaintances in the chemical plant, such as Wang Bolin from the catering team, the doorman, and Lao Wang who burned the boiler.
But, I wonder if they can get in touch with the chemical engineering school?
Xu Erlong decided to ask Wang Bolin when he delivers the eels tomorrow.
This time, after delivering the eels, Xu Erlong made a special trip to Wang Bolin's house to wait.
Downstairs from Tongzi, Uncle Li pulled the trolley and pushed it to the stairs. He bent down and moved the honeycomb briquettes out of the basket.
"Uncle Li, where are you moving the briquettes?" Xu Erlong greeted.
Seeing that the old man's legs and feet were weak and trembling, Xu Erlong took off his shirt without saying a word, put it on his shoulders, and helped Uncle Li move the briquettes.
Uncle Li looked at the extra person next to him and was surprised: "Young man, it's you. This briquette is dirty, how can I have the nerve to let you do it?"
"Uncle, don't move. Leave me alone. Where do you put these briquettes?" Xu Erlong asked.
Uncle Li thanked him repeatedly, led Xu Erlong through the corridor, and stood on his simple stove set up in the corridor.
Every household's stove is set up on the corridor, and no one dislikes anyone.
Xu Erlong made several trips to move all the briquettes.
"Come, young man, drink some water." Aunt Li took out the enamel jar, filled it with cold water, and handed it to Xu Erlong: "Thank you. Without you, my old man, my arms and legs, don't know when I would be able to finish moving."
"It's easy with a little effort." Xu Erlong smiled and washed his hands under the public water tap.
Uncle Li took a piece of soap and said, "Use this soap and see how dirty your hands are."
Xu Erlong washed the coal marks off his hands and chatted with Uncle Li for a few words.
"Come to see Captain Wang if you have something to do today?" Uncle Li asked.
Xu Erlong smiled and said: "Look what you said, I can't come and see you grow old?"
"What's so good about me?" Uncle Li smiled: "You are a young man who is warm-hearted and sweet-tongued. These words make people feel comfortable."
Xu Erlong turned around and thought, Uncle Li's son worked at a radio station and had some connections.
He tentatively asked: "Uncle Li, to be honest, I want to send my sister to your factory school to study. You are very knowledgeable and know a lot of things. Can you give me some advice? Can this be done?"
?”
Uncle Li smiled: "Young man, I can't help you with other things, but I can really help you with this matter. The person in charge of the factory children's school is the second-in-command in our district. He is my nephew. I will lead
You go and ask."
Xu Erlong is happy, a factory is a small society.
After twists and turns, we can always make some connections.
Uncle Li led Xu Erlong around to another family building: "The second in command of the factory is called Li Yongnian. He has a good reputation. If he says there is no problem, there should be no problem."
"It would be great if this can happen." Xu Erlong thanked Uncle Li: "Thank you, Uncle Li."
"Why are you thanking me? I see that you are enthusiastic and willing to help others, so I thought of setting up a line for you." Uncle Li said, "If you sow good karma, you will get good results."
While talking, the two of them walked to the door of Li Yongnian's house one after another.
"Director Li." Uncle Li knocked on the door.
The door lock rang, Li Yingtong opened the door, saw Uncle Li in front of him, and said hello: "Grandpa Li, are you looking for my dad? He is not at home now?"
Turning her eyes, she saw Xu Erlong behind Uncle Li: "You...you actually came to my house?"
Xu Erlong's accidents were no less than hers.
I didn't expect that this girl actually lives here.
"Do you know each other?" Uncle Li asked with a smile.
"I don't know. Huh." Li Yingtong snorted softly.
Uncle Li didn't pay attention to the girl's mood and simply explained his purpose.
"My dad is not at home now, can you tell me anything?" Li Yingtong said.
Xu Erlong was wary, this girl had a prejudice against him.
"Uncle Li, let's come another day." Xu Erlong pulled Uncle Li and wanted to leave.
"Xu Damin." Li Yingtong called him loudly: "Why don't you wait for my dad? You don't have any sincerity."
Xu Erlong turned around: "Are you calling me? What did you call me?"
Li Yingtong turned her head away and thought, hum, you are asking even though you already know.
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Young man, wait here. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
Watching Uncle Li walk away, Li Yingtong looked Xu Erlong up and down.
Today, he is wearing a blue tank top and a white shirt, which is standard equipment for ordinary people these days.
However, no matter how ordinary the configuration is, it can't suppress his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He looks quite handsome.
Li Yingtong's heart skipped a beat.
"Didn't you say that when you came to the factory, you came to see me?" Li Yingtong asked awkwardly with her hands behind her back.
"I have something to ask Director Li..."
"Excuse, you are not an employee of our factory."
Xu Erlong couldn't explain clearly.
He really wanted to say, girl, I really didn’t come here to find you.
But whatever you say, in the eyes of the other party, are all excuses.
"I'm leaving now. I'll come back to visit Director Li another day." Xu Erlong said goodbye.
"Stop." Li Yingtong said: "You want to find my dad, right? OK, as long as you are happy with me today, I will help you say good things in front of my dad. Otherwise..."
