In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 420 The Principal’s Purpose

Li Duoyu looked at the smiling Principal Zhu and intuitively told him that he must have something to ask him for help.

Zhu Kaiyun is wearing a Chinese tunic suit and black-rimmed glasses. He looks more like a cadre than Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu usually had little contact with him, but he didn't have a particularly good impression of this person.

The main reason is that three years ago, when I was still selling goods, this principal Zhu often poured ecstasy soup into Xiaoying, encouraged her to divorce him, and even deliberately introduced others to Xiaoying.

Because of this incident, Li Duoyu even had a big quarrel with him. At that time, he couldn't deal with the man wearing glasses, so he chased him for most of the village with a stick.

Zhu Kaiyun carried two heavy-looking sacks and came to Li Duoyu: "Director Li, these are the specialties of my wife's family, honey pomelo and tangerine."

"Principal Zhu, you can't do this. Xiaoying said, since you have been taking such good care of me, it's a good thing that I didn't give you any gifts."

Zhu Kaiyun smiled awkwardly. Since students from the two schools started attending classes together, he had arranged the teaching content for Teacher Zhou.

After returning home, it was good enough that I didn't scold him.

Li Haoran was stunned for a moment. Although he was a little reluctant, he still scratched his head and came out of the room.

But what he was too embarrassed to say must not be that simple.

You can continue the topic.

"Little Tutu, you can't eat the skin, you have to eat the fruit capsule inside."

Without thinking, Principal Zhu kept pushing away with both hands.

Before Li Duoyu could say whether he wanted it or not, Zhu Kaiyun said to his two nieces:

"Zhang Lin, Zhang Yun, come over here."

Seeing little Tutu's eyes widening, Li Duoyu gave him several fruit capsules, but he was a little scared and didn't dare to eat.

After saying that, he stayed in place like Mudun, grinning awkwardly, making the scene even more embarrassing.

"No problem, Teacher Zhou's work ability is recognized in our school."

He is not a warm-hearted person.

Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun took the bag nervously. For them, the person they fear most in school is Principal Zhu.

Li Duoyu quickly picked him up and said: "You can't eat the skin, idiot, spit it out quickly."

After Zhu Kaiyun finished speaking, he took out an ugly tangerine, broke it on the spot, and then handed it to Li Duoyu.

Seeing Li Haoran lying by the window and peeking, he said casually: "Haoran has been doing well recently, and his grades are also passing."

"Director Li, come and try it. This tangerine is really sweet."

Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun walked over obediently: "Hello, principal."

"It doesn't even have many teeth. It's so powerful that a big piece of it was bitten off in one go."

Li Duoyu pinched his nose. Children at this age are very curious about everything and want to put everything into their mouths.

In fact, Li Duoyu only had to say: Principal Zhu, if you have anything to do with me?

"Hello, principal."

But fruits are really magical. The uglier and more deformed they are, the more delicious they are, such as ugly oranges, ugly apples, etc.

The principal called them.

Next,

Li Duoyu collected the two sacks of mandarin oranges and pomelo, then turned around and picked up two packs of dried large oysters as a return gift.

Seeing that Principal Zhu kept resisting, Li Duoyu did not force him to

But after the other party gave the gift, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stood there with a silly smile, wanting to speak, but looking embarrassed.

"Come on, try it. It's a bit ugly, but it's delicious."

In essence, Li Duoyu is the kind of person who does less than does more.

Little Tutu spit out the tangerine peel and said aggrievedly: "It doesn't taste good."

Zhu Kaiyun directly picked up a tangerine and handed it to Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun respectively.

The face that was originally full of curiosity twisted into a ball in an instant, and the boss, whose mouth was still open, had water drops in his eyes.

Li Duoyu tried it and found that this ugly tangerine was indeed very sweet. At this time, most fruits along the coast were like aquatic products, and the good ones were all used for foreign trade lists.

Zhu Kaiyun opened the sack and said, "Although these little specialties are a little ugly, they are really sweet."

"Really?" Li Duoyu said in surprise: "Haoran, come out. The principal praised you for your recent progress."

But the two of them didn't dare to eat it at all. However, what everyone didn't expect was that little Tutu took a bite of the tangerine peel when Zhang Yun wasn't paying attention.

"No need."

Li Duoyu knew very well that Principal Zhu must be looking for him with something, but if it was a small matter, he could ask Xiaoying to help with the message. There was no need to go there in person and send so many specialties.

Unexpectedly, such a scary person would become so amiable in front of his uncle. After the two received the tangerine, they politely replied: "Thank you, principal."

Only the ones that are not up to standard and ugly will be left to be eaten by our own people.

Feel the next second.

Li Duoyu said: "You gave me so many specialties, but my family doesn't have much good stuff. The only thing I can get is this dried oyster."

I'm going to cry immediately.

"Director Li, there's no need to be so polite."

Unexpectedly, Chen Huiying in the kitchen said with a bit of disgust: "What's wrong with you kid? Principal Zhu has been here for so long and he doesn't even invite anyone to sit down. Just drink tea."

Zhu Kaiyun immediately found what he was talking about and hurriedly said: "Director Li, you shouldn't be busy. I'll sit down for a while and discuss something with you."

"I'm not busy. Sorry, I forgot to entertain you. I'll make you some tea."

Li Duoyu said to Li Haoran who was standing aside: "Bring your father's tea tray and the kettle over."

"Okay, come right away."

Li Haoran felt as if he had been liberated. His short legs ran faster than anything else. After a while, he took out all the tools his father used to make tea.

Li Duoyu simply made a cup of tea. He didn't know since when, people here especially liked making tea when they were talking about business.

After drinking two cups of tea.

Zhu Kaiyun finally couldn't help but said: "Director Li, if there was no other way, I really wouldn't come to you."

Li Duoyu pretended to be surprised: "Principal Zhu, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"It's not my personal matter, it's the school's difficulties."

Seeing Li Duoyu's reaction, Zhu Kaiyun frowned. Judging from the situation, Zhou Xiaoying probably didn't tell Li Duoyu.

But it’s right to think about it. Not many people are willing to pay so much money for no reason.

"The reason why I came to you this time is related to the school. After we merged with Chenjiacun Primary School, the original classrooms were completely insufficient, and several classes could only have classes in the open air."

Classes in the open air?

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. No wonder Xiaoying felt a little darker recently. It turned out to be this, but she didn't say anything about it.

Li Duoyu was a little confused: "Why are you in such a rush to merge? The students from Chenjiacun have come over before the classrooms are even built?"

Zhu Kaiyun said helplessly: "The main reason is that there is something wrong with Chenjiacun Primary School. Their classrooms were originally dilapidated buildings. There was a heavy rain more than ten days ago and they were completely dumped. Now they have no place to teach, so they might as well Merged ahead of schedule.”

Li Duoyu poured tea and said: "Schools should be under the management of the Education Bureau. I think you can report this matter to our local Education Bureau."

"I've already looked for it, but I don't know why, but Director Zeng suddenly changed his mind after he had clearly agreed."

"Changed your mind?"

Li Duoyu frowned: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"I don't know. Originally, the process was almost completed, and the county agreed to help us build a teaching building years ago, but some time ago, it was suddenly canceled." "Ah, is there any reason?"

Zhu Kaiyun frowned and said: "During this period, I also made several trips. Later, through a friend, I found out that it was originally canceled by a deputy county magistrate named Ge due to insufficient financial funds."

Li Duoyu said:

"Is it Ge Weihong?"

Zhu Kaiyun said in surprise: "Director Li, do you know County Magistrate Ge?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and said, "We can't say we know each other, but we still had a meeting together this morning."

Zhu Kaiyun hurriedly said: "Director Li, if you know County Magistrate Ge, can you say a few good words for us?"

Li Duoyu said on the spot: "Principal Zhu, I'm really not familiar with him. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about this."

Li Duoyu didn't dare to tell Principal Zhu that his project was cancelled. Maybe it had something to do with 'them'.

Shangfeng Town has been so popular recently and has won many projects. In addition, Secretary Chen was transferred directly from the city and is not from the local area. It is inevitable that he will take "shortcuts" when doing things.

And Li Duoyu heard about it.

According to the original plan, Secretary Chen was going to be transferred back, and the county was planning to send someone down to take over Shangfeng Town.

But what they didn't expect was that Chen Shulin chose to stay, which directly disrupted their plan.

It is said that the materials for "Application for Wind Turbine" submitted by Secretary Chen are still being held back by the county.

The top few in the county didn't submit the documents at all, but the project was still implemented.

And it was a national-level project. What embarrassed them most was that they were the last to know about the project after it was launched.

In short, the current relationship between the town and the county is not very harmonious.

Li Duoyu thought that only the town's finances were stuck, but not even their island's teaching building project.

This is a bit much.

Why are there lemon essences like this everywhere?

Li Duoyu couldn't help but spit out the fragrance.

"Fuck you."

Seeing Li Duoyu suddenly opening his mouth to curse,

Zhu Kaiyun suddenly became nervous. Seeing Li Duoyu's fierce look, he suddenly remembered that he had been chased by him with a stick.

Seeing that Principal Zhu was frightened by him.

Li Duoyu quickly said: "I'm sorry, I was scolding those dishonest comrades. How can you change your mind just when you promise good things?"

Principal Zhu agreed: "That's right, if they didn't agree to build a new teaching building for us, no matter what, I wouldn't support the merger."

"I was the one responsible for this incident at first, but now it's really uncomfortable. Over there in Chenjiacun, people are asking every day when a new classroom will be built. After all, it will start to get cold in a month or two. If the students If you still have classes outside, your hands and feet will probably be frozen."

Li Duoyu asked:

"Principal Zhu, what are you going to do now?"

"It's like this. I will try my best to continue applying for that teaching building, but I don't think the bureau will solve the problem of this teaching building for us in a short period of time.

"Director Li, can you please take the lead, mobilize donations, and help us build a few rooms? Our requirements are not very high, as long as they are safe and can be protected from wind and rain."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Principal Zhu wanted him to directly donate money to build a house, but unexpectedly he actually wanted to initiate a donation.

"Of course there is no problem in initiating donations, but I can't guarantee how much you will donate."

While the two were chatting, Zhou Xiaoying came back, and she was a little surprised to see Principal Zhu here.

"Principal, why are you here?"

Zhu Kaiyun smiled awkwardly. He deliberately assigned a task today, just to distract Teacher Zhou and talk to Director Li alone.

"I'm going to talk to Director Li about something."

Zhou Xiaoying immediately guessed what Principal Zhu was talking about. She glanced at Li Duoyu with a solemn expression.

After Zhou Xiaoying came back, she was still holding Lugan in her hand. The aggrieved little Tutu cried immediately after seeing his mother.

"Come, mom, hug me."

After Zhou Xiaoying hugged the child, she said angrily: "Why did you make him cry?"

Li Duoyu smiled evilly and said, "You can't blame me for this. He bit the tangerine peel himself."

"Then you didn't stop him and still smiled so happily."

Zhu Kaiyun saw that Teacher Zhou had come back and had finished what he needed to say.

"Director Li, I'm going back first. Red-skinned tangerines should be eaten as soon as possible, while black-skinned tangerines can be kept longer."

Seeing Principal Zhu turn around and leave, Li Duoyu quickly stuffed the two packs of large dried oysters into his arms.

"Director Li, I really don't want it."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "If you don't take it, I won't help you with this matter."

Zhu Kaiyun was stunned for a moment, then took the dried oyster: "Thank you first, Director Li."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I can't decide this alone. I have to discuss it with my family."

"I know, then I'll leave first."

After hearing this last sentence, Zhu Kaiyun felt that the two bags of fruits given out today were worth it. As long as Li Duoyu was willing to take the lead in donating money, those who were engaged in farming with him should also donate some amount.

"Slow down."

Li Duoyu waved goodbye to Principal Zhu.

If personal grudges are put aside, Li Duoyu feels that Zhu Kaiyun is a very responsible principal.

In his previous life, after he returned from the island country, there were not many students on the island, but he still served as the principal of Dandan Island Primary School and did not change jobs to work elsewhere.

It can be said that Zhu Kaiyun has dedicated his life to this school and education.

Li Duoyu thought carefully.

Speaking of which, since he made money, apart from leading everyone to get rich, he has never spent his own money to do practical things for the village.

If he really only needed a few classrooms, he could finance it alone. After all, it would cost a lot of money.

But Li Duoyu felt that there was no need to be in the limelight. He would rather be called a stingy person than make people think that this is what he should do.

In a previous life, there was an entrepreneur who had been sponsoring a scholarship for a school for more than ten years.

But one year, there was a problem with the entrepreneur's business, but the school still pursued him for a scholarship as usual, which made him very disappointed.

What impressed Li Duoyu the most was the story told to him by a fisherman named Wang Kaiming in his previous life.

In the early 1990s, he used to be the owner of a processing factory. Because of the money he made, he was invited by the organization to attend a sponsorship conference organized by a local organization.

But since it was my first time here and I had actually made a little money, when I offered to sponsor, I just gave him a slap in the face.

He originally wanted to say fifty thousand.

But he didn't expect the host to be faster than him, and shouted directly: "Mr. Wang donated five hundred thousand."

A few words put him on the spot, and because he couldn't afford that much money later, he had no choice but to donate goods from the processing factory, which directly led to the next few years of work being in vain.

Eventually the processing plant also closed down.
