What's Going On?
Chapter 3138 What's Going On?
The old city of Beijing, the airport.
Yang Xiaotao leaned against the jeep, smoking, while Chen Gong walked around beside him, smoking as he did so, glancing at his watch every now and then, looking very anxious.
Zhao Gang sat in the car with the door open, constantly exhaling smoke from his mouth.
The three of them waited here for the child to return.
As for Ran Qiuye, Feng Nan, and the others, they were chatting in the shade at that moment.
"Sister Tang, when is your eldest sister going to visit the countryside? That way we can make arrangements here."
Ran Qiuye asked Tang Mingyue.
Tang Mingyue shook her head, "Eldest sister has plenty of time, but the chief's time needs to be arranged."
"As you know, the commander is getting old and needs your older sister to help take care of him. Once she starts taking care of him, she won't have any time for herself!"
Ran Qiuye nodded, and Liu Yuhua's eyes darted around before she suggested, "Then let the leaders come along too, so they can see the results of our new rural education."
Ran Qiuye was somewhat tempted, so she looked at Tang Mingyue.
Upon seeing this, Tang Mingyue pondered for a moment and felt that she could mention it, since rural education was a major issue at the moment, and the leaders had mentioned it many times.
"Okay, I'll mention it to the commander later."
When Tang Mingyue said this, Ran Qiuye and the others were overjoyed.
"By the way, did your education funding get approved this time?"
Tang Mingyue asked curiously, but as soon as she finished speaking, Ran Qiuye's face fell.
Just by looking at it, you can tell things aren't going well.
Then Feng Nan said, "According to the plan, this year's education funds should have arrived in February."
"It's already the end of June, and we still haven't received any funding, let alone education funds, or even office expenses."
"Teachers in many places haven't received their salaries for two months."
Upon hearing Feng Nan's words, Tang Mingyue immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Why hasn't it been issued?
Feng Nan hesitated, glancing at Ran Qiuye.
Tang Mingyue also looked over, and Ran Qiuye sighed, "I went to try to get the money from the higher-ups, but they said there's no money."
"No money? That's impossible."
Tang Mingyue frowned. "I dare not say anything else, but the special funds allocated to these nine departments every year are enough. How could there be no money?"
Ran Qiuye looked troubled, then explained, "The special funds from the Ninth Department are to encourage farmers to send their children to school. This money is for children to have the opportunity to go to school and cannot be used for anything else."
Tang Mingyue hesitated, wanting to speak but ultimately remained silent.
After all, that's quite true.
If this loophole is opened, who knows what this money will ultimately be used for?
"As for the teachers' salaries, the higher-ups didn't expect so many teachers to be brought in all at once. The budget was already insufficient, and with so many teachers, it's even more insufficient to cover everything."
"Furthermore, we need to address the issue of teaching materials, which is another significant expense."
When Ran Qiuye told the truth, Tang Mingyue was speechless.
She never expected that something that seemed so easy to do would be so difficult in practice.
"So what do you plan to do?"
After a long while, Tang Mingyue finally spoke up and asked.
Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "There's no good solution right now, so we can only ask the local people for help."
“For example, teachers can earn the same amount of work points as commune members in the village, and we can also provide some subsidies, so that teachers can support their families.”
"Some schools also organize students to help out in town during winter and summer vacations."
"As for what to do next, we are gradually figuring out a solution."
Seeing Ran Qiuye's optimistic attitude, Tang Mingyue didn't know what to say.
If you were to tell Yang Xiaotao about this, Jiubu would only need to peek through his fingers.
Of course, that would also attract some criticism.
Seeing that the two remained silent, Feng Nan suddenly changed the subject, saying, "I remember there was a prize money for this competition, do you know how much it is?"
Liu Yuhua immediately replied, "I know, I know."
"The individual winner of this competition will receive 100,000 legal tender, and the team winner will receive a total of one million legal tender."
"My daughter Xiaoyu won first place in the team competition and third place in the individual competition. She probably got more than 100,000 yuan. I just don't know how much that is in RMB."
Hearing this, Feng Nan also thought to herself that her child seemed to have earned more money in one trip than she and her husband had earned in half a lifetime.
Of course, this is just something to think about.
This money will never reach the individual's hands.
It's not that anyone forcibly took or plundered the money, but rather that everyone spontaneously donated it.
Just like last time in Hong Kong.
Only in this way can it benefit both yourself and your child.
As for who to donate to, it will naturally be the school.
The group was chatting happily when a group of children, including Miaomiao, Yueyue, and Rongrong, waited nearby amidst their laughter.
Dudu was even more excited to see what kind of gift his boss would bring him.
At that moment, an airplane appeared in the sky.
Yang Xiaotao stubbed out his cigarette butt on the ground, and Zhao Gang got out of the car, watching the plane begin to slowly descend into the air.
"coming."
With Chen Gong's shout, everyone unconsciously huddled together.
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and saw a group of mothers in front of him, all of them silent, just watching the plane.
As soon as the plane landed and came to a stop, before the cabin door even opened, the crowd surged toward the aircraft.
At this point, Yang Xiaotao was left behind.
"Master, I'm back."
Xiao Wei's voice echoed in my mind, and then I saw Xiao Wei appear in my shirt pocket.
"Xiao Wei, time is of the essence, let's get to work first."
Yang Xiaotao spoke urgently, and then told Xiaowei what he needed to do.
Xiao Wei immediately understood and then quickly flew to the jeep that Yang Xiaotao had parked.
There, Yang Xiaotao left a piece of sandalwood when he left.
Before long, Xiaowei made one based on the original gourd, but this gourd was empty.
At that moment, the plane door opened, and Wang Guodong appeared in the doorway.
Then Wang Guodong led the way down the street, followed by Duanwu and a few others.
Seeing their own children appear before them, the crowd erupted in excitement once again.
While everyone was distracted, Xiaowei handed the finished gourd to Yang Xiaotao.
The next moment, a small porcelain bottle appeared in Yang Xiaotao's hand. He gently opened it, and then Xiaowei manipulated the gourd to open a gap, allowing the liquid in the porcelain bottle to enter the gourd before closing it.
The whole process takes less than a minute; it's quick and easy.
Moreover, this little gourd is exactly the same as the one I made before.
Papapa
Applause erupted, and Yang Xiaotao, representing the Ninth Division, stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Guodong, saying, "Uncle Wang, you've returned successfully."
Wang Guodong shook his head with a smile, "I didn't do much this time, just ran errands." Yang Xiaoyao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Not just anyone can do that, most people can't do it."
"Alright, alright, stop praising me."
"I know my own worth."
Wang Guodong smiled and shook his head. He then met with Chen Gong and Zhao Gang.
Yang Xiaotao then went to the child and hugged Duanwu. The little guy seemed flattered, but still opened his arms and hugged Yang Xiaotao's waist.
"You little rascal, well done."
When Yang Xiaotao praised Duanwu during the Dragon Boat Festival, Duanwu was very happy to hear it.
"Light rain~"
"Uncle!"
Yang Xiaotao picked up Xiaoyu, then put her down again, saying, "Go find your mother."
Then she hugged each of the other children in turn, and only then did she see Xingxing talking to Tang Mingyue.
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then stepped forward.
"Wake up."
Yang Xiaotao forced a smile onto his face. Tang Mingyue, who was squatting on the ground checking on her son, unconsciously squeezed Xingxing's little hand when she saw Yang Xiaotao coming over.
But the next moment, Tang Mingyue let go of her hand.
Then Yang Xiaotao walked up to her and picked up Xingxing.
At that moment, Yang Xiaotao was certain.
"Well done."
While Xingxing was still dazed, Yang Xiaotao put her down and she quickly said, "Thank you, Uncle Yang."
Yang Xiaotao reached out and patted Xingxing's head, then nodded to Tang Mingyue before turning and leaving.
Tang Mingyue looked at her son again and smiled, "Are you tired from going out?"
"Not tired at all, not tired at all."
"Mom, we've been to so many places. We saw the Eiffel Tower, but I think we can build one too. It's just molten iron, right?"
The mother and son held hands, a heartwarming scene.
After Yang Xiaotao left, he glanced at the small gourd in the space and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it might seem a bit petty, doing this is just in case.
In a few days, we'll exchange this little gourd for it.
"Brother Tao, I'm bothering you again."
Looking at Alphat lying on the hospital bed, Yang Xiaotao shook his head helplessly, "Can't you just behave yourself?"
"Why don't you just stay home obediently?"
Alfat gave a wry smile upon hearing this, "I'm afraid that I'll be sitting at home and trouble will fall from the sky."
"Go to hell, is that what you mean?"
"Ah, isn't it?"
Yang Xiaotao laughed and then reached out to shake hands with the other person.
"Once you get back, focus on recovering from your injury. There's no rush for anything else."
Alphat understood what Yang Xiaotao meant, and feeling relieved, he nodded, "Okay, then I'm at ease."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then waved to Liang Zuoxin, who immediately called for the security personnel to help Alfat into the armored vehicle and then take him to the Ninth People's Hospital.
After seeing Alfate off, Yang Xiaotao went to his family and said, "Let's go home."
"Dad will cook something delicious for you."
Miao Miao and the others jumped up and down when they heard this.
My dad's cooking is so good, it must be really delicious.
As Yang Xiaotao and his men left the airport, Liang Zuoxin, who had been waiting in the distance, reappeared in front of the plane.
This time, parts were continuously unloaded from the plane and placed in the airport warehouse.
Night falls.
In the West Garden, the eldest sister sat on a chair, dissatisfied.
Old Qing apologized profusely, and Tang Mingyue joined him in trying to persuade her older sister.
"We need to get an explanation for this."
“We can trust Xiao Tao unconditionally, but some people don’t think that way.”
"As you know, this matter is very tempting for some people, and they won't be satisfied without checking it out."
Old Master Qing spoke earnestly, but the eldest sister only snorted coldly.
"They don't believe it, but you still don't believe it?"
"Don't you know what kind of person Xiao Tao is, and how he's treated us all these years?"
Qing Lao smiled wryly upon hearing this, then looked at Tang Mingyue standing to the side.
Seeing this, Tang Mingyue squatted down in front of her eldest sister, clasped her hands, and said, "Eldest sister, you actually know everything."
"They won't be satisfied until they know what they're really up to."
"Moreover, the more we try to stop them, the more attention we will attract, and they may even take risks in the end."
“This is not a good thing for him to wake up and say.”
"Now we're openly presenting it to them for them to study. If everything is as Yang Xiaotao said, and it is indeed Ginseng and Evodia Decoction, then they'll give up and have nothing more to say."
"This is also a form of protection for the child."
"You agree, don't you?"
Hearing Tang Mingyue say this, the eldest sister nodded unconsciously, then looked at Qing Lao beside her and said, "Of course I know these things."
"I'm just annoyed that you don't even object. What kind of grandfather are you?"
"When Xingxing grows up, will we still be able to rely on you?"
Old Qing was at a loss for words and unconsciously turned his head away.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and he quickly stood up and said, "There should be a result, I'll go take a look."
He then ran out as if fleeing.
At this moment, Tang Mingyue finally made up her mind and whispered to her eldest sister, "Eldest sister, it seems he knows."
The older sister was taken aback, then looked at Tang Mingyue seriously.
Tang Mingyue nodded vigorously.
The eldest sister sighed deeply, then smiled again, "Now I can rest assured."
As they were talking, Elder Qing walked in from outside, his face serious.
Upon seeing this, the two quickly stood up and awaited the result.
Then I saw Old Qing laugh out loud, “That’s right, it’s Ginseng and Evodia Decoction.”
"Moreover, the ginseng used is quite old; Xiao Tao is really willing to spend money on it."
Old Qing wanted to add a few more compliments, but when he noticed the older sister staring at him, he quickly shut his mouth and gave an awkward smile.
"Alright, go back to your room and sleep."
The eldest sister got up and walked into the house, and said before Qing Lao entered, "You sleep in the study tonight, I want to sleep with Xingxing."
Qing Lao was speechless for a moment.
