Ran Qiuye's New Job
Chapter 2962 Ran Qiuye's New Job
The old city of Beijing, the courtyard house.
When Yang Xiaotao returned home, Ran Qiuye had already prepared the meal.
The children in the family sat at the table one by one, waiting for their meal. Yang Xiaotao washed his hands and sat down.
Then I realized something was wrong.
After taking a closer look at Ran Qiuye, he realized that his wife seemed to smile a lot!
Sitting in his chair, looking at the liquor on the table and the soda the children were drinking, Yang Xiaotao became even more certain that something was wrong with his wife.
His gaze then fell on the other person's lower abdomen, and he silently made guesses in his mind.
A short while later, the old Taoist priest and Elder Ye walked in, and Ran Qiuye gave them another warm welcome.
Once everyone was seated, Yang Xiaotao glanced at Ran Qiuye and smiled, "Wife, do you have some good news to tell us today?"
The old Taoist priest and Elder Ye exchanged a glance, their gazes shifting to Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye, both sharing the same suspicion.
Ran Qiuye's eyes narrowed with a smile as she listened, and then she nodded vigorously.
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears, and Yang Xiaotao even looked at Ran Qiuye's lower abdomen.
Feeling Yang Xiaotao's gaze, Ran Qiuye's ears turned red. She quickly patted the table and laughed, "I went to the bureau for a meeting with Cuiping and the others today. Do you know who I met?"
"Who?"
Seeing that Ran Qiuye wasn't talking about that matter, Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately asked, "Who did you see?"
"Uncle!"
Ran Qiuye smiled as she recounted what had happened that morning.
At the meeting, my uncle not only appeared, but also became the person in charge of future education work.
"My uncle said that we should attach importance to education, especially the education of teenagers, and rural education is even more important in this regard."
"My uncle also said that over the next ten years, 10 billion yuan will be allocated to support rural education development and construction, and more schools will be built..."
"My uncle also said that we should encourage young teachers to teach in rural areas, and that this will not only involve subsidies but also continued policy support..."
"At the end, my uncle specifically praised us during the meeting, and afterwards he even spoke with the three of us separately for a while, inquiring about the difficulties in building rural schools..."
Ran Qiuye was like a child who had won an award, eager to tell everyone she knew.
Yang Xiaotao picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then smiled at the old Taoist priest beside him. Finally, Ran Qiuye said, "Uncle told us to organize the information and hand it over to him in a couple of days."
"From now on, more and more children will go to school and be able to read and write in school."
"And there will be more teachers, passing on this knowledge from generation to generation!"
Ran Qiuye spoke with certainty, her eyes sparkling like stars.
Yang Xiaotao raised his glass again, "This is indeed good news, great news."
"Come on, let's all raise our glasses to our great teachers."
Miao Miao and the others immediately raised their small wine glasses, while Ran Qiuye smiled serenely, "Thank you everyone!"
Then their glasses clinked together.
After dinner, Yang Xiaotao was organizing materials in his study. He had wasted a lot of pencils and scratch paper during this time, but he still had no clue what to do.
Now that there's news from Germany, Yang Xiaotao is thinking of having someone buy some of it, then reverse engineer it to make the material.
After all, you have to buy things from other people, while making things at home only costs about the materials.
In the dead of night, the door was pushed open!
Ran Qiuye walked in carrying a cup of tea.
Yang Xiaotao put down the materials, then looked at the clothes in front of him. "Is there any other good news?"
Ran Qiuye sat down with a smile, then nodded, "There's something I can't decide!"
"What's the matter?"
"I ran into Secretary Chen from our bureau today. He wants me to come back to work in the bureau, specifically in charge of rural education!"
Ran Qiuye explained the situation and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao tapped his fingers on the table for a moment before saying, "Did he say which aspect he would be specifically responsible for?"
"no!"
"Is there a goal?"
"They didn't say!"
Who are they?
Ran Qiuye shook her head again, then realized something, "You mean, he's... making empty promises?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Isn't that silly girl?"
Ran Qiuye slammed her hands on the table in anger, rested her head on them, and remained silent.
"I bet Secretary Chen wants to reap the rewards of your achievements. You've been promoted, but you've lost your foundation!"
"He'll definitely assign someone else to do this!"
Ran Qiuye pouted; she understood these words without Yang Xiaotao having to say them.
"Then I won't go!"
Ran Qiuye said with some disappointment.
She didn't care about position; how could she possibly be bigger than her own man?
But she really wanted to do something for education, especially rural education.
Even doing something within one's ability is better than doing nothing at all.
"No way, why not seize this opportunity when it's right in front of us?"
Yang Xiaotao reached out and grabbed Ran Qiuye's hand, then gently stroked it, making Ran Qiuye feel a little embarrassed.
"I agree to this, but I need to let my uncle know first!"
Ran Qiuye didn't understand what he meant, then Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "In the future, Uncle will be in charge of education. Why don't we use this relationship?"
"Besides, your uncle needs you to achieve something, so this is perfect!"
"When the time comes, we'll have my uncle separate rural education from the rest of the education system, and let them each do their own thing!"
"In two years, when there are more junior high schools in various places, we will build senior high schools."
"In a few years, when the high schools have developed well, we'll build a university!"
"We don't need to worry about their opinions!"
Ran Qiuye's eyes immediately filled with fighting spirit when she heard Yang Xiaotao say that, but then she lowered her head and remained silent.
"What? Are you having trouble?"
Ran Qiuye nodded, "I'm afraid I won't do such a big job!"
"I can manage one or two, but with so many, and so many people needed, I'm afraid I won't be able to do a good job!"
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately reached out and picked up his wife, saying, "Silly girl, who told you to do it all by yourself?"
“You can ask someone for help. Cuiping, Sister Min, Feng Nan, and those like-minded people in our compound, the Jiang family, Auntie and the others, can all help!”
"And do you know what's most important when building a school?"
Ran Qiuye leaned against Yang Xiaotao's chest and nodded, saying, "Money!"
"Yes, it's money!"
"Then do you know what our nine departments have in abundance?"
Yang Xiaotao spoke proudly, and Ran Qiuye blinked her big eyes, tentatively asking, "Money?"
Yang Xiaotao chuckled, then shook his head, "It's not money, it's a way to make money!"
"As long as you have these methods, you can never earn enough money."
"So, once the biggest problem of funding is solved, and the personnel issue is resolved, what are you still afraid of?"
"So, wife!"
"Work hard, what you're doing is more important than what we're doing!"
Upon hearing this, Ran Qiuye's face flushed red. She reached out and hugged Yang Xiaotao's neck, leaning against his chest and whispering, "Husband, you have to help me!"
Yang Xiaotao simply picked him up by the waist, saying, "Nonsense, if your husband doesn't help you, who will?"
Well…
"daughter in law!"
"Ok!"
"Recite a poem!"
"What poem?"
"A thatched hut, for the autumn wind, where a broken song..."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Ran Qiuye's deep voice rang out one after another!
"August, high in the sky, the wind howls..."
His voice was melodious and full of emotion!
Then came the low recitation rising to a climax, and finally the loud recitation of… “If only I had ten thousand mansions, I could shelter all the poor scholars of the world and make them smile! They would stand firm as a mountain, unmoved by wind and rain.”
"Alas! When will this house suddenly appear before my eyes? Even if my own hut is broken and I freeze to death, it will be enough!"
"what!"
"Wife, you recited it so beautifully!"
"Let's play another 'Prelude to Water Melody'..."
ten minutes later
"daughter in law."
"The Song of the Pipa"
……
The following day, Ran Qiuye summoned Cuiping and Feng Nan and told them about her decision.
The two were naturally pleased and agreed, as their different statuses meant they could do different things.
With new positions available, more children can get into school.
After discussing it for a while, the three of them got up and went to the West Garden to have a chat with the eldest sister.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotao drove to the Ninth Department, reminiscing about the previous night, thinking how wonderful it would be to have a teacher as a wife.
They can recite various poems and songs, which are full of charm, and at the same time, they can appreciate the beautiful scenery of being at a high place!
Some of them are just too hard on the body!
"Minister Yang!"
Lou Xiao'e saw Yang Xiaotao sitting in a daze in the chair, put down the document, and called out to him.
Yang Xiaotao snapped out of his daze, then looked at Lou Xiao'e and subconsciously asked, "Xiao'e, can you recite poems?"
Lou Xiao'e was puzzled, but replied, "I can recite some, but not many!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked down at the document. "Read more books and appreciate the charm of classical poetry; it will help you!"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned by what Yang Xiaotao said and didn't understand what he meant.
Liu Lixue, who was standing to the side, had heard something and coughed lightly behind her. Lou Xiao'e quickly turned around and met Liu Lixue's gaze.
Ignoring the exchange of glances between the two, Yang Xiaotao carefully reviewed the documents.
"Huh, how did this document end up here?"
Yang Xiaotao pulled out a document and asked Lou Xiao'e.
This is a report from an electronic toy factory in Shanghai.
Logically speaking, this electronics factory should be under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry, so any issues should be reported to the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry.
What's the story behind sending it to the Ninth Department?
Lou Xiao'e was chatting with Liu Lixue when she heard about Ran Qiuye's situation. She felt a mix of emotions, and when Yang Xiaotao asked her about it, she was stunned for a while before she reacted.
"Well, the leaders of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building asked me to send it."
"They wanted to make a kind of tape recorder, something that used magnetic tape, but the leaders of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry said they didn't have the resources to take care of it at the moment, so they pushed it off to our side."
"Of course, they also said that if it's difficult, we can put it aside!"
Lou Xiao'e walked up to him and said something, but found that Yang Xiaotao seemed very interested in the report.
At this moment, Liu Lixue came up and said with a smile, "Ever since word got out about our last donation to the battery factory, many factories that are struggling to find suitable investment opportunities have been sending their applications to us, hoping to try their luck!"
"There are many more like this!"
After Liu Lixue's explanation, Yang Xiaotao understood what was going on.
To put it bluntly, they have ideas, but lack investor support.
However, this thing reminded Yang Xiaotao of the radios he used to see when he was a child, following behind his parents.
Two cassette tapes, beautiful melodies, a wonderful childhood memory.
Unfortunately, those cassette tapes later became toys for children, and tools to be tied to trees to scare away birds.
"This thing can be made!"
Yang Xiaotao murmured softly, and Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e exchanged a surprised glance.
What kind of cassette radio is this? Has it really caught Yang's eye?
So, could this be another big project?
"I'd like to send them a letter and meet with their manager and designers to get some information!"
Yang Xiaotao wanted to lend a hand, after all, the market for radios was quite large, and if the domestic market didn't make money from it, the money would go to others.
Especially the younger generation; I remember they did quite well in this field.
These days, domestic companies have already snatched up pressure cookers, rice cookers, and cameras from Xiao Rizi's market, so they don't mind snatching up a tape recorder as well.
"Okay, I'll call them right now!"
Lou Xiao'e left with a smile, while Liu Lixue approached Yang Xiaotao and asked, "Minister Yang, can this thing be made?"
Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and then shook his head, "I don't know, whether it can be made depends on the current magnetic tape production technology."
"Oh, I'll go ask around!"
After saying that, Liu Lixue skipped out of the office. Yang Xiaotao glanced at her back and then put the matter aside, continuing to review the documents.
After a busy day, Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard house.
Then I saw the older sister chatting with Ran Qiuye in the courtyard, with Cuiping, Feng Nan and Tang Mingyue sitting next to her.
Tong Xiaolong was playing with the children under the big locust tree, creating a lively scene.
As Yang Xiaotao approached, Duanwu led a group of children rushing up, shouting from afar, "Comrades, eliminate the bad guys..."
"You brat, go play somewhere else!"
Yang Xiaotao frowned, realizing he'd become the bad guy.
Duanwu immediately stopped, turned his gun around, and charged at Zhou Kui.
Zhou Kui chuckled, not minding at all, and led the child out of the yard.
Tong Xiaolong shook his head in regret under the locust tree, thinking that if Zhou Kui had started practicing martial arts earlier, he would have been extraordinary.
"Look, just look at the face of our Minister Yang, and the kids are too scared to say a word!"
As Yang Xiaotao walked into the courtyard, his elder sister's voice rang out, causing him to pause. He quickly went over to her and explained, "Elder sister, you're mistaken. I'm very democratic at home."
"Don't believe me? Ask Qiuye!"
“I just got beaten up by these guys last night, and I still have teeth marks on my arm.”
He was about to roll up his sleeves when the older woman waved her hand, saying, "That's because you didn't bite hard enough. Who told you not to spend more time with the kids?"
Yang Xiaotao sat down next to her with a smile and continued to complain, "Big sister, I would love to spend every day with the child, but there's just so much to do."
"I was even pulled aside by Old Chen a couple of days ago and given a lecture, asking why the West-East Gas Pipeline project hasn't been implemented yet?"
"I had no choice!"
The older sister waved her hand, "Alright, alright, I know you're busy."
"If you were at home with that serious look on your face, wouldn't you scare the kids? You should just go do your work."
Yang Xiaotao smiled helplessly again, and Cui Ping, Tang Mingyue and others beside him laughed.
"However, there's one thing you did well!"
Yang Xiaotao immediately laughed, and then heard his older sister say, "That means she was supporting Qiu Ye's work from behind and didn't hold her back."
Yang Xiaotao became smug again, "Of course! Women hold up half the sky!"
"I guarantee my absolute support and I will never hold anyone back."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go and take care of the logistical support!"
He then ran to the kitchen.
Everyone laughed, and then the eldest sister continued talking to the group.
After dinner, Yang Xiaotao, Ran Qiu, and Ye Cuiping saw their eldest sister and her group off, and then went home to inquire about work.
“My older sister also agreed that I should go. She said that the position is fixed, but the people who sit in it are flexible.”
"Some people can't stand up once they're sitting up, while others can sit still without needing to sit."
"She said that she would ask the Women's Federation to help promote the experience."
Ran Qiuye spoke happily from the side, occasionally clenching her fists with great enthusiasm.
"I'll talk to my uncle about it tomorrow."
Yang Xiaotao suggested, and Ran Qiuye nodded.
The next day, Yang Xiaotao did not go to the Ninth Department. Instead, he took Ran Qiuye to visit his uncle. However, he did not find him at home. Instead, he met Sister Zhuo and the third son of the family. After explaining the situation, Sister Zhuo immediately expressed her support and said that she would tell her uncle that evening.
Then, when Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard in the evening, he saw his uncle's family visiting.
So Yang Xiaotao once again transformed into a chef. After a flurry of activity, his uncle agreed with Ran Qiuye's approach and also placed high hopes on rural education.
When Yang Xiaotao returned home on the third day, Ran Qiuye handed him a letter of appointment with a beaming smile on her face.
Yang Xiaotao opened it gently, then smiled at Ran Qiuye and said, "Looks like I'll have to call you Director Ran from now on."
