Chapter 111 The Shrimp Fishing Child

Yang Dongsheng could only have a drink with him.

Just as he was about to eat some food, the lieutenant retreated, and the second lieutenant jumped out again.

"Boss Yang, I'll do it first."

……

After drinking three glasses of white wine one after another, Yang Dongsheng's stomach couldn't hold back immediately, and the smell of alcohol surged up like a river.

Seeing this, the lieutenant quickly brought food to Yang Dongsheng, "Boss Yang, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

What a fart, can I still eat it now?

Yang Dongsheng rushed directly to the trash can at the door and vomited.

Yang Dongsheng couldn't figure it out. It stands to reason that these people came to beg for their own affairs, but they just poured one cup after another and didn't even let them eat food. Are you here to beg me, or do you want to embarrass me?
If there was not a county leader present today, Yang Dongsheng would definitely turn his back on them.

"Brother Yang, are you okay?" Wang Suo came out to pat Yang Dongsheng on the back.

"I'm really sorry, Wang Suo! I really can't drink this wine. If I continue to drink like this, I have to go to the hospital for gastric lavage. Please tell Minister Hu, I, uh..."

Although the rank of the Armed Forces Department is high, but in terms of its usefulness to Yang Dongsheng, it is much worse than the police station.

"Don't, don't!"

Director Wang talked all kinds of things, and finally pulled Yang Dongsheng back to the house.

Minister Hu and the others stood by the table, waiting for Yang Dongsheng.

"Boss Xiao Yang, I'm really sorry, what we did just now was wrong." Minister Hu waved his hand, "Bring the cup here!"

Three glasses were placed on the table, the lieutenant bit off the white wine and filled the three glasses.

"I punish myself with three glasses!" Minister Hu grabbed the wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.

Yang Dongsheng sniffed, it was indeed liquor, and he didn't fool him with plain water, so his anger dissipated.

"Minister Hu is serious. It's because I can't drink enough to get on the table."

"Boss Yang, I'll punish myself with a drink." The lieutenant picked up a glass of white wine.

Seeing this, the other two were fined a glass each, as if they were drinking water.

Although Yang Dongsheng vomited a lot just now, his mind still couldn't help becoming confused, "Minister Hu, Wang Suo has already mentioned the reason for your visit. But there is one thing, I must make it clear that mining is hard work, dirty work, Tired work, not only sweating, but sometimes bleeding. Let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that the gas explosion in the Shunhe Coal Mine not long ago killed and injured nearly a hundred people.”

"Boss Xiao Yang, you can rest assured about this. In terms of suffering, we soldiers suffer no less than your miners, let alone bleeding and sweating!" The lieutenant put his arm on Yang Dongsheng's shoulders, "Besides, we also Don’t expect the same treatment as your former workers, just pay half of your wages.”

"Comrade Lieutenant, the second part of your sentence is wrong!" Yang Dongsheng waved his hands again and again, "As long as I enter Dongsheng Mining, I will treat everyone equally, and I will not lose a penny."

"Okay, just based on Boss Yang's words, I will toast Boss Yang." Minister Hu picked up the wine glass.

The next day, Yang Dongsheng didn't get up until the sun was setting to the west.

My head is still a little dizzy, and I can only vaguely remember that Director Wang drove him back in the end.

Thinking back now, yesterday's drinking session felt like a routine. From the moment he entered the private room, everything was set up.

It was arranged for Minister Hu to accompany him for three drinks, and it was also arranged for several other people to accompany him for several drinks. The purpose was to get Yang Dongsheng drunk and vent his anger on Yang Dongsheng.

Yang Dongsheng opened the back door, and several half-sized boys were sitting outside the back door fishing for sea prawns.

The atmosphere has always been very happy, but today is a little different.

There was a burst of crying from the crowd, and a child who was fairer than the others was sobbing softly while holding a fish basket.

A boy and a half came out to persuade him, "What's the use of going to school? Even if you can go to university, don't you still have to work in the end? Why don't you just follow us now! Brother Dongsheng said, I will join him when I turn 16." The mine earns more than the city workers a month."

"I don't want to work, I want to go to school!" Bai Jing's child wiped away tears.

"Why are you so ignorant!" At this time, the half-grown man also saw Yang Dongsheng and ran over quickly, "Brother, we have blocked that old woman at home these days, and she didn't dare to go out for several days. My two brothers are guarding the door of her house, as long as she dares to go out, I will block him!"

"Yeah!" Yang Dongsheng nodded, "What's wrong, are you bullying me?"

"No, no! It's none of our business!" The middle-aged man waved his hands quickly, "He's crying because he can't pay the extra fine and can't go to school."

"Really?" Yang Dongsheng looked at Bai Jing's child.

The innocent child nodded.

He has two older sisters who have to pay a fine of 80 yuan before they can go back to school.His family is poor, and even the tuition fees are hard to come by, so he can only fish for shrimps to earn money.

In later generations, crayfish is more expensive than chicken and pork, but in this era, because of the lack of meat, crayfish is the worst meat, and the price is only about one-tenth of pork, only a few cents per catty .

Bai Jing's child fished for a week, but he didn't earn a few yuan. He earned 80 yuan, and he didn't know it would take years.

"Hey!" Yang Dongsheng sighed.

After taking out 5 yuan, Yang Dongsheng turned to the boy and said, "Sell me all the prawns you caught!"

Bai Jing's child carried the fish basket into the house with Yang Dongsheng, and poured the shrimp into a basin.

In total, there are seven or eight small shrimps with green shells and three or four large shrimps with red shells.

Yang Dongsheng didn't say anything, and took out a hundred-yuan bill.

Bai Jing's child glanced at the big bill, lowered his head and said, "I don't have any change for you!"

"Don't look for it, take the money back and pay the fine, go back to school and stop fishing!"

"I don't want..." The child Bai Jing looked at the hundred-yuan bill and wanted to accept it, but he didn't dare to accept it.

"Take it, take it!" Zhou Ying walked over and put the money into the child's hand.

Only then did Bai Jing's child take the money.

Yang Dongsheng can help one child, but he cannot help everyone, and many children may drop out of school.

Fines for overbirth are an important source of township finance at this time, and in some impoverished areas, they can even account for half of local fiscal revenue.

Yang Dongsheng went back to the house and made a call, "Secretary Zhao."

"Boss Yang, hello, hello! How are you thinking?" Secretary Zhao is also in a state of desperation recently. The steel plant has passed through the county and city, and he has been putting pressure on him. Living.

"I've thought it through, I can't accept the conditions in the village."

"What?" Secretary Zhao was a little dazed, the script was not like this.

"Secretary Zhao, I remember you told me that the money from the township is used to pay teachers' salaries. Now many children in primary schools in Shunhe are punished by you and cannot go to school. Do you still need so many teachers? Secretary Zhao, let me ask a question, elementary school is compulsory education in the country, is it legal for you to do so?"
