Chapter 22 is really nerve-racking

"Siyu is back." Liu Changhe put down the scissors in his hand, faced Liu Siyu, and said.

"Dad, you are trimming your flowers and plants again, where is mom?" Liu Siyu put down his helmet and asked while untiing the rope behind the car.

"Your mother went to your brother's house, why did you buy so many things? Didn't you tell me? You have everything you need to eat and use, but you don't have much money, so you have to save some money." Liu Changhe couldn't help but say angrily when he saw a lot of things his son took off from the back of the car.

"Dad, these things were not bought by me for you, but were brought to you by some of my classmates." Liu Siyu explained. However, he did not stop and quickly put the things into the house, then rode the car into an empty house, put them in, and said to his father, then walked towards Liu Siqiang's house.

Liu Siqiang's residence is not far away. It was renovated by the original supply and marketing cooperative's house. The ground floor is two storefronts and the second floor is housing. When Liu Siyu arrived at the store, Liu Siqiang was negotiating the price with a shopping mall. When he saw Liu Siyu, he nodded to him, pointed upstairs, and continued his business. Liu Siyu smiled and went up the second floor from the stairs in the store.

The second floor was converted into a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms by Liu Siqiang. When Liu Siyu entered the living room, he saw his mother Zeng Guifang talking to his sister-in-law, and his niece Liu Xiaoli was doing homework in her hut.

Hearing the footsteps, Zeng Guifang and Liu Siyu's sister-in-law both raised their heads and found that Liu Siyu was going upstairs. Zeng Guifang shouted in surprise: "Siyu, when did you come back?"

Liu Siyu replied casually: "Just as soon as he got home, I heard that you were with my sister-in-law, so I came over and have a look."

Liu Xiaoli heard Liu Siyu's voice, put down her pen and rushed out of the room, threw herself into Liu Siyu's arms, and kept saying, "Uncle Second, why did you come back? I miss you so much."

Liu Siyu pinched the round face of his niece who had just finished the first grade and said, "Aren't I here to see you?" As he said that, he took out a foreign cloth bear from behind and handed it to Liu Xiaoli.

"Do you like it?"

When Liu Xiaoli saw the beautiful bear, she suddenly shone with her eyes, hugged her, and said while jumping: "I like it, I like it so much, Second Uncle, you are so nice to me."

"Take it and play." Liu Siyu said with a smile. Liu Xiaoli entered his room with a bear. Only then did Liu Siyu come out to chat with her mother and sister-in-law.

After chatting for a while, Zeng Guifang turned the topic to the issue of teacher salary. Listening to their stories, Qingshan Township is similar to Heihe Township. The teacher has not paid his salary for half a year and only paid a little living expenses every month, which made most teachers not at ease to work. Speaking of these issues, Liu Siyu's mother and sister-in-law both sighed.

Since Liu Siyu came back, he ate dinner at Liu Siqiang's house. Liu Siqiang opened a bottle of two bottles of Moutai that Liu Siyu gave him last time. Of course, it was not a special supply. Liu Siyu only brought back one piece of Moutai, a total of six bottles, and eight special supply China were placed in a large box at home. He couldn't even bear to drink it. After leaving the Woodpecker, he never had the chance to get these things that needed a certain level to get, unless he went to the master's house to take some fuel.

Liu Siyu chatted with his father and elder brother while drinking. The elder brother was very interested in talking about his business. Because he worked in electrical appliances earlier, the business was pretty good. Liu Siyu briefly told the people at home about his work. After Liu Changhe knew that Liu Siyu was already the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Heihe Township, he felt that his face was very glorious. In his eyes, this secretary was a person who needed to be looked up to. Unexpectedly, there was an official in his family, which made him feel that his waist was a little straighter than usual. However, he solemnly reminded Liu Siyu that he must not engage in corruption and must be an upright and good official. He also gave many examples to prove his point of view.

Liu Siyu did not expect that his father was just an ordinary retired employee, but he had such an awareness.

The next day, Liu Siyu rode a motorcycle to Heihe Township to work, reported to Secretary Zhang Gaowu, and took a few days to take Du Qingping and Director Xu Xiansheng of the Education Office to look at the schools in the village one by one except Tongshan Village Primary School. This trip made Liu Siyu feel cold. Unexpectedly, the infrastructure of Heihe Township School was so bad. Except for the newly built teaching buildings of Heihe Middle School, the rest of the schools did not even have teaching buildings. All the classrooms were bungalows and were dilapidated. Several schools had dilapidated buildings. If there were heavy winds and heavy rains, the school buildings collapsed, and the teachers and students would be suppressed.

Thinking of the expectant gazes of the teachers fighting on the front line of education and seeing the students jumping around in the mud with tattered shoes, Liu Siyu felt that the burden of the township education committee director was extremely heavy.

On Friday, Liu Siyu convened members of the township education committee and principals of primary and secondary schools to hold a work meeting to welcome the general sixth inspection in the township government conference room. After Zhang Gaowu and Chen Jiesheng made emphasis and requests at the meeting, they left the venue on the pretext of something happening without waiting for the people below to speak. After seeing that the two main leaders of the township were left, they were very disappointed. It seemed that the leaders of the township only let the horses run away, but did not let the horses eat grass, and avoided talking about the problems existing in the township schools. Although Liu Siyu is the director of the township education committee, he is new after all, and the financial power of the township is firmly in the hands of Secretary Zhang. If he has no money, what else can he do?

Everyone sat there in a low mood, some of them just smoked. After a while, a conference room was filled with smoke.

Seeing everyone's deflated look, Liu Siyu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Haha, did you guys not sleep well yesterday? They were all in a bad mood."

"Secretary Liu, you know the situation in our village. It seems a bit difficult to complete the General Six task," said Xu Xiansheng, director of the Education Office.

"Tell me, let me show you any difficulties. I think as long as we all find a way, there will be no Flame Mountain that cannot be overcome." Liu Siyu looked at Xu Xiansheng with encouragement, and said with a smile.

"Okay, Secretary Liu, I am a straightforward person. I will say whatever I have. I hope you, leaders, don't be surprised." Xu Xiansheng opened the notebook in front of him and spoke.

Liu Siyu pretended not to hear the resentment in his mouth, and still had a faint smile on his face, nodding to him.

"I will first talk about the several inspection indicators in our village. This inspection and acceptance requires that the enrollment rate of children aged 7 to 14 reach 95%, while the actual enrollment rate of our town is less than 80%, the graduation rate is 92%, we are less than 70%, the blindness rate reaches 95%, and we only have 82%, and the consolidation rate is also far from that. If we check carefully, our Heihe Township will not be able to pass the test at all."

When Liu Siyu heard him say so seriously, he frowned and asked, "How did you pass the test last year?"

He knew that this was a review and acceptance. As long as the acceptance is passed this year, the popularization of six-year compulsory education in Hongshan County will be completed. However, the generalization of nine-year compulsory education will be completed. According to the central government's requirements, the task of fully popularizing nine-year compulsory education must be completed by 2000, which means that the beginning of the year, the stage of popularizing nine-year compulsory education will be entered. Therefore, the county requires that this year's review and acceptance must be passed.

"Previous years?" Xu Xiansheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm just doing fake data. When it comes to the inspection, I'll ask the lost students to sit in the school, and then go back after the inspection. As for literacy, I'll send literacy textbooks to senior students and then assign tasks. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone to replace them temporarily."

"Director Xu, since that's the case, isn't it enough to do this year as in previous years?" Liu Siyu asked in confusion.

"Secretary Liu, I also know that I can only deal with it in previous years. But you don't know how many days the students are going to take to the school to sit in. Last year, the township promised each lost student to sit in the school for three days, with a subsidy of ten yuan. After the inspection, the township had no money to pay due to financial difficulties. The students who were invited back only recognized the school and did not recognize the township government, and they bothered the school all day long. The school had no money. In the end, the teacher was bothered and raised the money and paid the money. The township government has not paid the teacher until now. Do you think this would happen if you do this this year and don't take out the money first?"

There was such a thing? Liu Siyu pondered for a moment and asked: "Director Xu, how much was the fee for hiring students last year? If you ask students to deal with the inspection this year, how much is it? How much money is needed to complete the review and acceptance inspection work?"

Xu Xiansheng looked at the notebook in front of him and said, "Last year, the central school invited 118 lost students, and seven village primary schools invited a total of 103 students, totaling 221 students, each student with ten yuan, totaling 2,210 yuan. This year, our township needs to invite 243 lost students to meet the standards. In addition, the classrooms of three village primary schools are dilapidated houses and need to be repaired immediately. In addition, living expenses and other living expenses for inspections are about 30,000 yuan. This is not counting the salary owed by the township government."

"How much salary does the township government owe teachers in total?"

"There are 115 public teachers, 12 civilian teachers, 25 substitute teachers, and 18 retired teachers in the township. This year, the total salary of teachers is owed 146,125 yuan."

I heard that the township government owed nearly 150,000 yuan in teachers' salary, plus the cost of waiting for the General Six review and acceptance, it was nearly 200,000 yuan. As far as Liu Siyu knew, the township finance office now has almost no money. Even if the township completed the fiscal budget revenue at the beginning of the year, it would not be possible to have so much money for education.

Alas, this is really troublesome.

Liu Siyu calculated in his heart that the teacher's salary could still be owed for two months. As long as the competition is released at the end of the year, the teachers should be able to understand that there is only the current inspection fee. Secretary Zhang did not say that he would support this matter in terms of financial resources, nor did he know what his idea was.

But work has to be done.

"Haha, it seems that Director Xu still has the grasp of the situation. I wonder if there are any other principals to add it?" Liu Siyu kept a smile on his face and said calmly.

"Secretary Liu, we have no other requirements. We just hope that teachers will get their due salary before the end of the year and let us have a quiet New Year." The principals said angrily. Only Principal Guo Xiaoyang from the township middle school sat there quietly without saying a word.

"Okay, since no one has anything else to say, I'll say a few words." Liu Siyu cleared his throat, glanced at everyone sitting with his eyes, and said, "Everyone sitting is older than me and has richer work experience than me. I know that the education in Heihe Township is supported by everyone here. However, since I am the director of the township education committee, I should be responsible for the education in Heihe Township. Here, I have a few requirements for everyone. First, this year's review and acceptance inspection work must be done well in any way to ensure that the acceptance is successfully passed. This is a political task,

Everyone here must realize this and must not be careless. Second, regarding the expenses required for the inspection and the funds required for the renovation of dilapidated houses, please send a report to the township education office. I report to the township party committee and try to solve it. The situation last year will never happen. Third, regarding the teachers' wages owed by the township government, I ask you to tell the teachers that the township government will pay it back before the end of the year to allow all teachers in the township to have a happy Spring Festival. Finally, I would like to emphasize that if anyone has any problems in this inspection work, I will hold who is responsible."

The attendees were shocked when they heard Liu Siyu's tough statement. Deputy Secretary Liu was really courageous and made a statement without asking the two main leaders of the village. Don't he know that if he could not fulfill his prestige, then would his prestige be ruined in the village?

Or he can really do what he says. Guo Xiaoyang thought to himself.
