Chapter 171
Liu Haizhong raised his head and said in a very arrogant manner:
"You guys need to improve your awareness. This is what the leaders above want. As an advanced compound, how can we hold them back?"
"However, having said that, as the second uncle of our hospital, since you all have this need, I will definitely try my best to help you. You all go home and wait for good news."
Liu Haizhong, this idiot, started making guarantees before he even met Li Jiandong.
The residents were relieved to hear him so confident.
Even though he looks like a fool at ordinary times, he would actually stand up when he is really needed.
Yan Bugui pulled Liu Haizhong's arm and whispered to him, "Lao Liu, let's go first. It will be too late if we wait."
Liu Haizhong looked at the watch on his hand, then saw that it was about to get dark.
So, he said goodbye to the people in the hospital, rode his bicycle and went to find Li Jiandong with Yan Bugui.
And this moment.
At Li Jiandong's house, Sha Zhu has also returned.
But this time when he came back, he didn't go to the kitchen to cook immediately. Instead, he went to the backyard to find Li Jiandong and said:
"Master, have you heard? Now the street requires forced labor in the countryside. Each family can only keep one laborer. Fortunately, Master's wife took Xunfu and the others away early."
In fact, he had something else to say.
Li Jiandong's children did leave North City and went to Hong Kong, so they didn't have to worry about working in the countryside.
But he has two other children at home, Hou Kui and He Xiao.
One adopted son and the other biological son.
As the director of the subdistrict office, Sha Zhu felt that he must set an example.
Therefore, he planned to arrange Hou Kui out first to set an example for the people in the hospital.
Just now when he returned home, Sha Zhu told Chen Xueru about this matter.
Chen Xueru's reaction was very intense.
She didn't want to let her son leave, and even suspected that Sha Zhu wanted to take this opportunity to separate him from Hou Kui.
Since Hou Kui is not his biological son, isn't this obviously biased?
The reason Sha Zhu came here this time was to ask Li Jiandong for some advice, or to comfort Chen Xueru.
Being misunderstood by Chen Xueru all the time, Sha Zhu felt bad
Li Jiandong had known that this day would come, so he just nodded calmly when he heard it.
"Zhu Zi, I already know what you said, but it should have nothing to do with your family, right?"
"Although your Hou Kui is old enough, He Xiao is still young. According to the regulations, both children can stay. When He Xiao is older, we need to arrange for one of them to leave?"
Sha Zhu smiled bitterly and said:
"Master, it is true according to common sense, but I am now the director of a neighborhood committee and I have two children at home. If I don't arrange for one of them to lead by example, I am afraid it will be difficult to carry out the next work."
"To be honest, I have already talked to Xueru about this matter, but she disagrees. Master, can you help me persuade her?"
Li Jiandong shook his head and said:
"Zhu Zi, I can't help you with this matter. To be honest, I stand on Chen Xueru's side this time. If it were me, I would not let the children leave."
If Sha Zhu was like Li Jiandong's family, with too many children, it would be fine if he had to arrange for some of them to leave.
But for someone like Sha Zhu, who clearly had the conditions to keep both children, it was unnecessary for him to set an example just because he was the street director.
Of course, this was Li Jiandong's own idea, and he had no intention of changing Sha Zhu's mind.
After all, everyone has different thoughts. Since in Sha Zhu's eyes, street work is more important than children, there is nothing to say.
When Sha Zhu heard this, he sighed helplessly.
In his eyes, Li Jiandong and Chen Xueru are the two most important people to him.
As for He Daqing and his children, including his biological son He Xiao, they could only stand back.
If it was for Chen Xueru or Li Jiandong, he could give up his job in the street.
But, if we compare children with work, Sha Zhu thinks work is more important.
Now it is no longer a question of choosing between children and work, but that Chen Xueru is going to make a fuss with him because of this matter.
In order to appease Chen Xueru, Sha Zhu had no choice but to give up sending the children to the countryside, even if it meant the work would be difficult.
After all, Chen Xueru was one of the two people he cared about most, which was much more important than work.
"Okay, since Master agrees with Xueru's idea, I will listen to you."
Li Jiandong was a little surprised by Sha Zhu's reaction.
Just then, a sound was heard again from the front yard.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui walked in together.
Seeing Sha Zhu was there, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but blame him, "Zhu Zi, how did you manage to be the director of the subdistrict? Why didn't you inform us in advance about such a big thing as going to the countryside? Now we are unprepared and panic-stricken."
Sha Zhu said helplessly:
"Second Uncle, you can't blame me for this. I just found out about it just like you guys. At most, I knew it an hour earlier than you did. Even if I told you in advance, it would be useless."
Li Jiandong also said:
"Old Liu, this matter really can't be blamed on Zhuzi. It was only because the leaders above spoke that this matter was taken seriously.
In fact, the practice of sending people to work in the countryside has been going on for the past few years, but haven’t we paid any attention to it?"
What Li Jiandong said is true.
The idea of going to the countryside and mountains has been around for a long time, but before it was just relying on street propaganda and even mobilization was rare.
Now that the higher-ups are paying attention to it, the lower-ups are following suit.
Liu Haizhong sighed, his expression changed, and then he said flatteringly,
"Director Li, you're right, we didn't notice it. But you see, the people in our hospital don't want the children to leave too far. Everyone is living well in the North City, and many children have never traveled far. If they are suddenly asked to go to the countryside so far away, no one can rest assured, don't you think?"
Yan Bugui groaned and said:
"Yes, Lao Li, you are also a father, you must know how it feels for children to go far away. You are worried that the children will suffer outside, and even arranged for Qin Huairu to accompany them, but people like us can't do that."
"I have so many children at home. Even if half leave and half stay, I only have one old woman. I can't afford to accompany her even if she wants to."
"Old Li, you must help us. Ask Zhuzi to think of a way to prevent the children from leaving. Okay?"
Li Jiandong spread his hands and said:
"Old Yan, I really can't help it. We have to support Zhuzi's work."
"As far as I know, this time the rural visit doesn't discriminate who is involved, not to mention that Zhuzi is just a street director. Even if they are district leaders or city leaders, they don't dare to use backdoors for such matters.
So, Old Yan, you should stop thinking about it and make preparations to let the children leave."
Sha Zhu also followed suit:
"Yes, Third Uncle, don't even think about using a backdoor in this matter. We, the responsible persons, should take the lead in arranging for the children to go to the countryside."
"My daughter Xueru almost got into a fight with me because of this. We should all set an example. So, Third Uncle, please don't make it difficult for me on this matter."
"Alas, is there no other way to solve this problem? How can we, as parents, feel at ease when the children suddenly run so far away?"
Yan Bugui's eyes were a little moist.
Although he is stingy, he really can't let go of his children.
Seeing him crying, Liu Haizhong said impatiently, "Old Yan, can you please stop whining? Director Li has already said that there is no room for discussion on this matter. Why are you still whining here? Are you trying to force Director Li to make a mistake?"
"I'm telling you, if you really have such an idea, you'd better give it up as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Director Li doesn't punish you, I can't allow you to do this."
Although Liu Haizhong is a fool, he is good enough to be a lackey.
No matter who wants to make things difficult for Li Jiandong, Liu Haizhong will stand in front of him.
Seeing that Yan Bugui looked like he was about to cry, Li Jiandong felt uncomfortable too.
So he thought about it and said,
"Old Liu, Old Yan, there is absolutely no way to change the situation where the children go to the countryside.
However, if you cooperated earlier, you could have chosen a better place with the pillars.
As long as the children stay together, they can take care of each other outside and won’t suffer any loss, don’t you think? "
As soon as Li Jiandong said this.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's eyes lit up at the same time.
They really haven't thought about this matter.
If this is really possible, even if the children leave me, I won't be so worried. After all, there are so many children of the right age in my courtyard.
If more than a dozen people go to the countryside together, it will be enough for them to take care of each other.
Li Jiandong continued, “And I suggest you choose Jilin. Dongxu has lived there for four years and knows a lot of people there.
Hu Haodang’s hometown is also there. Lao Liu, your daughter-in-law’s home is also there. The children all went to Jilin and Liaoning together.
Not only can we look after each other, but we can also ask the adults there to help take care of them. Wouldn't that make us feel more at ease?"
Yan Bugui clapped his hands and said:
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? If you think about it carefully, there are a lot of things involved. There are so many people taking care of the children, what is there to be afraid of?"
Liu Haizhong also became happy when he heard this.
As expected, Li Jiandong has a way. No matter what the problem is, he can solve it.
Now, he can go back and explain to the people in the hospital.
Although it is still inevitable to send the children to the countryside, at least no one has to worry anymore. This is the best outcome, isn’t it?
"Director Li, it has to be you. I knew you would have a solution. Thank you so much for your advice."
Li Jiandong waved at them.
"We are all from the same hospital, so there is no need to thank you. I would like you to go back and prepare. You can do some work in advance to see if everyone is willing to go to Jilin. If they are willing, we can see how to proceed later."
After saying that, Li Jiandong looked at Sha Zhu next to him.
"Zhu Zi, how are you doing? If all the young people in our hospital are arranged to go to Jilin and Liaoning, can you make the decision?"
Sha Zhu nodded. "Master, I should be able to make the decision on this matter, but we have to do it as soon as possible. If all the places in Jilin and Liaoyang are taken up, it will be difficult for me to make any arrangements then."
Shazhu is also a stubborn person.
He could obviously keep these places first, and arrange them to go to Jilin and Liaoning after the people in the hospital were confirmed.
However, Shazhu is a dull person and does things meticulously.
If Li Jiandong hadn't given the order, he might not have allowed the people in the hospital to use the back door.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui left satisfied.
After the two returned to the courtyard, they began to invite the people in the courtyard to gather together.
Now the yard is full of houses built by families. It is difficult to hold a general meeting.
After all, there is only a very small space in the central courtyard, which cannot accommodate more than 100 people in the courtyard.
So Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui only called together the parents of 20 households.
We held a small meeting for the entire hospital.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui sat in the hosting seats, and Liu Haizhong stood up to speak.
"Well, I called everyone here today for one thing. You should have heard about the Up to the Countryside Movement. Old Yan and I have been very concerned about this matter. Fortunately, we have lived up to everyone's expectations and brought you good news."
Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, the residents became excited.
They thought their children didn't have to go to the countryside.
However, soon, Liu Haizhong continued.
"First of all, I must tell you that no one can avoid going to the countryside this time. Anyone who meets the requirements must go to the countryside. Not to mention our street, even in the district and city, no one can be exempted."
The residents had not been happy for a few seconds when they heard Liu Haizhong say this again.
Suddenly, they all started making noise.
"Old Liu, what do you mean? You just said you brought back good news. Can this be considered good news?"
"Yeah, we thought you were so capable, but you were just playing tricks on us?"
"Since no one is immune, what do you mean by good news?"
"Old Liu, you really disappoint us."
Seeing that the residents were beginning to become dissatisfied, Liu Haizhong quickly began to explain.
"Everyone, don't worry. Listen to me. Although no one can avoid going to the countryside, we can choose where to go. For example, Jilin and Liaoning are a good choice. Our factory director Li worked there for half a year. Jia Dongxu from our hospital worked there for four years. And my Guangqi's wife Zhou Rong is also from Jilin and Liaoning. And Director Hu Haodang from our hospital is also from Jilin and Liaoning, right?"
Hu Haodang nodded.
He was just wondering why Liu Haizhong called him over?
He and Ye Xiaoning didn't have any children, so they didn't have to worry about the going to the countryside movement. It turned out that they asked him to come here because of this matter.
"Yes, my hometown is in Jilin. If you want to send your children to Jilin, I can write a letter to my family and ask them to help take care of them. I can't say anything else, but I can at least guarantee that the children won't be bullied in Jilin."
There are no high-ranking officials in Hu Haodang's family.
But his family has a large population.
And the place of Jilin and Liaoliao is different from other places.
As long as there are many people in the family and they are united enough and can beat others in a fight, basically no one dares to bully them.
"It seems that this is the only way. Even Lao Li can't do anything about it. What else can we do?"
"Yes, even the eldest uncle said that since even the children of big leaders can't escape, ordinary people like us can forget about it. It's good enough if we can choose a good place by ourselves."
"Yes, other hospitals don't have such good conditions as ours. I say, let's just settle it like this."
The residents are chattering, they believe Li Jiandong
Over the years, Li Jiandong has never lied to them.
However, there are still some people who are narrow-minded, or they are unwilling to give up, such as Jia Zhang from the Central Courtyard.
Bang Geng, the son of Jia Zhang's family, is still in high school this year and will graduate soon.
However, I heard from the grapevine that this year's high school students may not be able to graduate.
Including college students, everyone had to interrupt their studies and go to the countryside to work.
Jia Zhang is still not sure whether Banggeng will graduate?
According to the regulations of the street, if young people of appropriate age do not go to the countryside, even if they have a city household registration, they will not be given a work position or even a food quota, which will make them a definite drag.
Although Jia Zhang loved his grandson, he loved himself more.
If Bang Geng stayed in the city he wouldn't be able to get a job or even a food quota.
Jia Zhang had no choice but to let him go.
But it would be different if he could find a temporary job.
This is a difficult thing for others.
But for Li Jiandong it was a piece of cake.
There is no need for even Li Jiandong. Jia Zhang's son, Jia Dongxu, can easily solve this matter.
After all, Jia Dongxu is now a senior leader in the Department of Energy and is at the same level as Li Jiandong. He also manages a number of factories.
Is it difficult to arrange a job for your son?
However, when Jia Zhang found Jia Dongxu and told him about this, Jia Dongxu immediately said it was impossible.
"Mom, you are confused. Didn't you hear what my master said? This time, even the leaders' children have to set an example for the rural work. Do you think my job is too easy and want to make it a little more difficult for me?"
"If Bang Geng doesn't go to the countryside, do you know how much pressure I will face? The most important thing is that even if I don't want him to go to the countryside, I don't have the ability to stop him."
Jia Dongxu is still relatively sober.
Although his level is the same as Li Jiandong, he is very clear that there is still a big gap between him and Li Jiandong.
Li Jiandong's connections and ability to get things done are far beyond his reach.
Since Li Jiandong said that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, then it is definitely even more impossible for him to do so.
If, he really wanted to force Banggeng to work.
By then, Banggeng's work might not be arranged, but he would be criticized and educated.
Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot?
Unfortunately, Jia Zhang could never have imagined such a thing.
