Chapter 10: The first battle of the account, confirming the subject
They blame each other. This method is old-fashioned, but it also works. In the past five years, they have been shaking each other off like this, and eventually they have to endure the furniture factory to death.
"Principal Wu, it's been five years, and you have always said this!
You and Teacher Sun are the people I respect the most. You once taught me knowledge and taught me a lot of principles of being a human being!
Is Principal Wu going to teach me another lesson today so that I can understand the darkness of society?”
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, what do you mean?"
"Principal Wu, it's a matter of integrity if you don't pay back the debt!
People cannot stand without trust! This is the truth taught to me by the school!
Of course, I also know that the school is in difficulty and the teachers’ salaries are not fully paid!
But this is not a reason for you to shirk responsibility and refuse to admit your account!”
"Comrade Xiao Zhang..."
Zhang Junping waved his hand, interrupted Principal Wu, and continued, "Principal Wu, I didn't force you to pay back the money!
This is my alma mater. How can I bear to force my alma mater to pay back the money?
I just hope you can go to the commune with me, let’s explain some things in person and distinguish the responsibilities!”
Principal Wu knew that the commune had no money, otherwise they would not have used this trick at the beginning. To put it bluntly, all this was forced by money.
Because he had no money, he was forced to use this method to pay back the debt.
However, when Principal Wu was scolded by the former students, his face was not good-looking and his face was gloomy, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, I have already said it very clearly!
The desks are all set by the commune, so we just wrote a note as the receiving unit!
If you want the account, you still have to go to the commune!”
"Principal Wu, the commune also said that the money should be asked for by the school. They just contacted the furniture factory for you. The desks were used by our school, and you also made the notes!
Now, I ask you to go to the commune together to make things clear. Isn’t that too much?"
"Xiao Zhang..."
"Principal Wu, don't worry, as long as you follow me to the commune, we will make the matter clear and clarify the responsible person!
Even if it is finally confirmed that our school owes the debt, I decided not to chase the debt our school wants!
I can discuss with the furniture factory and our brigade to reduce this part of the debt!
Moreover, I can arrange someone to come and help the school repair all the desks!
This is my contribution to the school!
I believe that our brigade is still grateful and respectful to the school where we teach and educate, and they can understand my decision!" Zhang Junping's words were reasonable and well-established, which made Principal Wu unable to refuse.
What Principal Wu couldn't refuse the most was what Zhang Junping said could reduce debts and help the school repair desks.
A desk that costs five yuan per set can't be bought even in the 1980s.
At least one cannot buy pine wood, only sycamore wood.
In fact, in the 1980s and 1990s, most desks were fast-growing poplar or sycamore wood, and most of them were sycamore wood.
Those 100 sets of desks have been used for five years, and some earlier desks have many of them.
There are many people who are missing arms and legs.
Zhang Junping promised free maintenance, which can be said to have solved the school’s big problems and saved a lot of money.
Reform and opening up is a good thing, but after the reform and opening up, there are more places to ask for money, but not so the units are as easy to fool as Jinhe Village Furniture Factory.
Without real money, people won’t give you anything.
At this time, Principal Wu couldn't help but sigh that if there were more students like this, the school would have been better.
Zhang Junping is naturally not stupid either. There is no free lunch in the world. If it is free, it means you have to pay more elsewhere.
The Jinhe Village Production Brigade has a large population, with six production teams, more than 400 households, and more than 2,000 people. It is considered a big village nearby.
Naturally, there are many children of appropriate age. In 1985, the country has not issued nine years of compulsory education. There is no legal provision that it is necessary to go to junior high school. Schools are not allowed to refuse students to go to junior high school on the grounds of academic performance.
Many students in the village drop out after graduating from elementary school, including family reasons and school reasons.
The school is so big that it can recruit students with limited liability. It can only be counted on the scores. If the scores are enough, it will be promoted. If the scores are not enough, it can only go home to farm.
If you can make it clear that the school owes money, I don’t want you to pay it back. It wouldn’t be too much for your school to take care of our village and give us more places to go to school?
Since he decided to stay in the countryside and develop the furniture factory, Zhang Junping must consider it comprehensively.
Even if carpenter apprentices are recruited from the village, junior high school students are more valuable for cultivating than primary school students.
In the future, the furniture factory will develop bigger, and can a group of people with primary school education support the furniture factory?
So, since I saw that Zhuliu Middle School owed the village 500 yuan, Zhang Junping had already started planning this matter.
It was also induced Principal Wu step by step to finally confirm that the debtor was Zhu Liu Middle School.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if it is finally clear that the subject of the debt is Zhu Liu Commune.
Every year, Jinhe Brigade has to pay a lot of public grain to keep!
Jinhe Brigade owed the commune a lot of money, so the debt was settled.
"Okay! The time is right now. Let's go to the commune to find Secretary Gao now!" Principal Wu raised his wrist, looked at the time and agreed readily.
Principal Wu has a Shanghai mechanical watch on his wrist. No matter what era, the watch can set off a man's identity. In this era, Shanghai mechanical watches are a symbol of a man's identity.
It would be very respectful to bring a Shanghai mechanical watch to go out.
Zhang Junping left Jinhe Village at around 7 o'clock in the morning. He walked on the road for an hour and then had a while with Principal Wu. It was over 9 o'clock and the time was just right.
Principal Wu also has a capable personality. He left the office and launched his own bicycle.
Look at Zhang Junping and Dong Jianjun, and asked in a little embarrassingly: "How did you come from?"
If he could ride a bicycle with him alone, there would be nothing for two people.
"We're walking here, Principal Wu, you go there first!
We recognize the way in the commune and then arrive!" Zhang Junping saw Principal Wu's embarrassment and quickly spoke.
There are only two bicycles in the whole village of Jinhe Village, one for the brigade secretary and one for Lingling's father.
They can only rely on their legs when they go out to collect debts.
"That's fine. It's not far anyway. I'll wait for you in the commune. Come here quickly!" Principal Wu thought for a while.
Just so happened that he went in advance and could discuss it with Secretary Gao.
"Don't worry, Principal Wu, we'll be walking fast and we'll be here soon!" Zhang Junping nodded.
Seeing Principal Wu riding his bike away, Zhang Junping said to his second cousin: "Second brother, let's go slowly, don't worry!"
"It's a bit bad to let Secretary Gao and Principal Wu wait?"
"Haha! Second brother, I'm not asking them to wait, but I'm leaving time for them to discuss how to solve our accounts!" Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
"Huzi, you have really changed a lot! My father said yesterday, I don't believe it!" Looking at his energetic little cousin, Dong Jianjun sighed.
Chapter completed!
