After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

62 Raising funds for education

Haitao was surprised to see Xiaowei being so cautious: "Did Yinmei and the others provoke you again?"

"They are not worth my attention. It's my sister Jiang's business."

"What happened to Sister Jiang?"

"Jiang Jie is in a lot of debt and is getting married in a few days. I would like to ask you to buy some meat, preferably salted meat, which won't go bad if you don't finish it."

Haitao expressed his understanding: "It does take a lot to hold a wedding, and the meat coupons they have are definitely not enough. I will find a way to deal with this matter, it won't be a big problem."

"It's not just for work, my family also needs it. It's too difficult to buy meat in the countryside."

“How much do you need?”

"Of course the more the better. I only collected 200 to 300 kilograms of meat coupons at school, which is not enough. It would be best if I could get 1,000 kilograms."

Hai Tao was stunned. "Meat coupons are currently only issued in this area. The ones in the city may not be valid here. Only cloth coupons and grain coupons are universal, but they can be purchased with money. Do you have enough money?"

Xiao Wei secretly cursed himself for not asking clearly. Turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside was fatal.

The meat coupons can only be used when you return to the city. It turns out that the buyers just buy the meat and take it back. I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm just short of money."

Hai Tao pondered and said, "The most we can get for you is 500 yuan. I'm afraid we can't get more than that."

"You don't need to collect. Sister Jiang's ancestors secretly hid three silver ingots and a dozen silver dollars. They were originally passed down to her daughter. Now it's really difficult. Can you help exchange them?"

Hai Tao was stunned for a few seconds: "This is inappropriate."

"Why can't it be exchanged? It's not like it came from an unknown source."

"It's not that they can't be exchanged, it's that using a family heirloom is inappropriate. The state should take care of the widows of martyrs."

"The state has already taken care of us a lot. Besides, building a house and getting married are private matters. We can't cause more trouble for the state. Others will have opinions too. We can't make any special arrangements."

"Jiang Jie has contributed so many good songs, she deserves special treatment."

"My sister Jiang is a decent person and cannot make mistakes. She doesn't want to be publicized, and she doesn't want to be famous."

Haitao said, "You are the same, you are a good person who deserves respect. Good people should not be treated unfairly in the new society. Let me think about this matter and give you a reply tomorrow."

Xiao Wei thought to himself: Bullshit. This place has never been suitable for good people to live in since ancient times.

Everyone else went to school to teach singing, and Qian Xiuwen didn't like the crowds, so, led by Chenxia, ​​she took Xiaowei and Shi Mingsong to buy a wedding dress for Jiang Yingying.

The clothing styles of this era were really monotonous, Xiao Wei regretted not designing a few sets for Jiang Yingying. However, it was better not to show off, so as not to make people jealous.

I bought four sets for Jiang Yingying and two sets for Xiaowei. I also bought some shoes, gloves, socks, and a large bundle of towels.

There were no sanitary napkins at that time, so Xiao Wei had to use towels cut into strips for single use. Well, rough toilet paper was also necessary.

It doesn't matter how ugly the outerwear is, but the underwear should be as comfortable as possible.

Several people rushed to pay, but Xiao Wei angrily stopped them. Qian Xiuwen said, "Xiao Wei is not someone who would take advantage of others, so just save your money."

Chenxia said: "Xiaowei is actually very pretty, prettier than any of us, and her skin is well maintained. But she doesn't know how to dress up, and she doesn't even have a bright piece of clothing."

Qian Xiuwen sneered: "Not knowing how to do it and disdain are two different things, don't confuse them. Xiaowei doesn't want to please anyone, why should she dress up."

Chenxia scolded: "Did you take the wrong medicine? Or did you break up with your lover?"

Shi Mingsong said: “Both.”

Chenxia covered her mouth and laughed: "Has Sister Xiaowei fallen in love with someone else?"

Qian Xiuwen also laughed: "Forget it. I've never been in love before."

Chenxia expressed her understanding: "This is the rhythm of unrequited love."

Shi Mingsong deliberately said seriously: "It is true."

Qian Xiuwen snorted: "I have no chance, and neither do you. Why are you so excited?"

Chenxia asked: "You all have no chance, so who does Xiaowei have her eyes on?"

Qian Xiuwen replied: "I can say responsibly that Xiao Wei doesn't like any of us bastards."

Xiao Wei had no choice but to declare: "That's true, none of them can make my heart flutter."

Shi Mingsong sighed: "If you are too high, people will envy you; if you are too clean, people will dislike you."

Xiao Wei was amused: "I'm not that detached, nor that worldly, and I don't have any lofty ideals. I just want to be free and wait for death."

Chenxia said: "I know you are most afraid of trouble, okay."

We met at Chunxiao’s ex-boyfriend’s house at noon, and the same group of people were there.

They all said that there were not many students in the morning, and that the three classes were not complete: "The school has already issued a notice, and it is voluntary to learn to sing. There will definitely be more people in the afternoon."

Xiao Wei cursed inwardly: The school announced that it is voluntary, who would dare not volunteer?

"The Propaganda Department sent someone to learn today, saying they want to vigorously promote Wujiang. The actor leaders of the Propaganda Department will go there this afternoon."

"Anyway, no matter who it is, they have to pay."

"The teacher is watching, who dares not hand it in?"

“People in the government may not be willing to pay.”

Hai Tao said: "I have already said that this is the author's request. No one can be an exception, not even the county magistrate."

Once the Sunflower Manual is made public, people will immediately go crazy. If you don't practice, you will be outdone by others. Especially in official occasions, when you are at meetings or events, everyone else will sing it, but you won't. You will be labeled as someone with backward ideas, and that's no joke.

Looking at the current situation, perhaps towns and villages will be mobilized to join in. Education funding should be secured, which will reduce the government burden. Why not do it?

While everyone was having fun, Haitao called Xiaowei aside and said, "There will be a meeting this afternoon to discuss Sister Jiang's matter. You should not go back for the time being. Listen to the news in the evening."

"it is good."

There were so many people in the afternoon, half of them were adults. There were several coin boxes at the school gate, and Xiao Wei consciously put in 50 cents. Soon someone recognized Xiao Wei and shouted to gather around her. Qian Xiuwen laughed: "You can't help but be famous."

Xiao Wei didn't answer and quickly went to the school toilet.

As soon as I squatted down, I heard children humming in the men's bathroom next door. It was the song of the Haicheng competition, and several children followed suit.

It seems that there is a traitor in Haicheng.

However, Xiao Wei didn't find it strange at all. Among so many people, there would always be someone who could be bribed.

Chenxia saw Xiaowei listening carefully and looking unhappy, so she hurriedly asked what was going on. When she found out the whole story, she was so angry that she whispered, "I'll ask later."

"Forget it. What's the use of knowing it? It's meaningless."

“Tolerating bad people doing bad things is the same as doing evil.”

When Xiao Wei ran out, Chen Xia was already standing at the opposite door, shouting to the children to come out: "Who taught you this song? Tell me."

The boy who taught the singing wanted to run away, but Chenxia grabbed him and said, "If you don't want to tell me, go tell your teacher."

The boy struggled to keep silent. Xiao Wei stood in front of him and said one word with a cold face: "Speak."

A boy nearby said, "He said his brother taught him."

Xiao Wei asked: "Do I have to pay to teach you?"

"Only ten cents."

"Fuck." Chenxia cursed out loud.

Xiao Wei asked again: "You should also know the song we sang this morning, right?"

"We didn't come this morning. His brother forced us to come. If we didn't come, he wouldn't teach us anything else."

Xiao Wei was amused: "He's quite smart. What's his brother's name?"

Hearing the name, Xiao Wei couldn't remember who it was: "Is his brother studying at a normal school in the city?"

"No. His brother was admitted to Yang City last year."
