Reborn in 1974, crying with red eyes while hugging her rough husband

Gu Xueer took Shen Zhizhu on a symbolic tour of the school. Seeing that Shen Zhizhu was a little absent-minded, she suggested that they stop there for now and take him for another tour when the class officially started.

Shen Zhizhu thanked him and went to Yishe after leaving school, because she and Xu Haonan had agreed to meet there. When she arrived, Xu Haonan had not arrived yet. Judging from the time, he was probably getting familiar with the campus, or receiving encouragement in the principal's office.

"You're back so soon. Is this going well or not? Shouldn't you be touring the school classrooms now?"

Shen Zhizhu nodded.

"It went very smoothly. The principal was very easy to talk to. He said that as long as it didn't affect my studies, it was fine and he respected my wishes."

Shen Chunli just couldn't understand why Shen Zhizhu looked so sad when he was such a considerate and kind principal.

"Then why do you still look so solemn?"

Shen Zhizhu thought about it and did not express her concerns directly. She asked in a different way.

"Sister Chunli, did you know that after the college entrance examination was resumed, there will be no tuition required for schooling?"

"I know. I was thinking about going at first, but then I decided that I wasn't cut out for studying, so I gave up. Why are you asking about this?"

Shen Zhizhu was not surprised that Shen Chunli knew about this, because this is a county town and information flows relatively quickly.

"I didn't know about it, and I doubt most people in our village know about it either."

"Ah? Wasn't this news known long ago?"

She thought that maybe it had been there from the beginning, and everyone took it as a tacit agreement and did not mention the matter again. As a result, people who did not know about it in the first place lost a channel to find out.

"Let's not talk about this for now. My man will be here soon. We'll know when we go back and ask. Sister Chunli, how is the factory search going?"

Speaking of this, Shen Chunli sighed.

"The factory I have been cooperating with is about to collapse. Because they don't cut corners or use inferior materials, their costs are not much more than the money they make, which means their wages are not as high as those of other factories. In fact, they are only a few dollars higher. However, the factory director is a responsible and serious person. His stubbornness has offended many of his subordinates. Many people in the factory have been poached by competitors, and there have been no new orders. There are not enough people. I am worried and I am thinking about finding another factory."

This way, they will have to find a new one if it really stops running.

Shen Zhizhu thought about it for a while and realized that this was indeed a problem.

"I think we should not change it. There are not many responsible factory managers anymore. If there are quality problems with our clothes in the future, we will have to pay double compensation, which will be a headache for us."

"If there are not many people, I will go back and ask the uncles and aunts next door. If they are willing to go, I will give them a chance to try. But they should not be embarrassed to refuse them just because I introduced them. Whatever happens, it will be fine. I don't plan to tell them that I am the second boss of Yishe. I just need to tell others that I am just a designer."

Shen Chunli thought it was a solution. If the factory really couldn't last long, and Yishe's reputation got out, more and more factories would come to them.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

"Azhu."

Xu Haonan came over, and you could see that he didn't look very good either. He must have known about that incident, and maybe he had the same idea as her.

"Sister Chunli, when I come the day after tomorrow, I will bring you three new sets. The drawings have been drawn and are almost finished."

Shen Chunli smiled so brilliantly. She felt that Shen Zhizhu was a library of inspiration. How could he have so many good ideas that popped up from time to time?

She is really rare.

……

Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan exchanged some information on the way. All the courses were free, and Xu Haonan asked more detailed questions.

"When it comes to notification, in some places it is the village head who notifies, and then the village head implements it to every family. Some of the children who come here are from poor families, but because of this policy, they can learn and they especially cherish the opportunity to learn."

If that is the case, then their guess is getting closer and closer. Next, they will need Aunt Li to help them solve the problem.

Aunt Li had finished her work in the fields and was sitting in the yard doing the work that Shen Zhizhu introduced to her.

"Auntie."

The gates of the courtyard walls in the countryside are open during the day. They stood at the door and shouted, and Aunt Li heard them and asked them to come in quickly.

"Xiao Zhu, this thing is really well woven. Auntie has already gotten the hang of it."

Shen Zhizhu looked at it and found it was a small package.

"Not bad, Aunt Li, you are so skillful. You became proficient in it so quickly. You even added other small flowers. Not to mention, they look really good. Don't you think so, husband?"

Xu Haonan has a straight male aesthetic and he likes practical things. However, he thought it would look good on Shen Zhizhu's back, so he nodded.

"Yes, Aunt Li's cooking skills are good."

Aunt Li, who was praised, kept praising the two for their sweet words.

"By the way, Aunt Li, Haonan and I have something to ask you."

Aunt Li put the things away in a basket beside her and sat down to listen to them.

"Why did you and Uncle Li borrow fifty yuan? Did you use it all to pay Erdan's tuition?"

Aunt Li didn't think much about it. She knew that their names were crossed out from the list and that they had found the school themselves. She thought that they went to school today perhaps to compare tuition fees.

"Not at all."

Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but before they could finish their breath, Aunt Li dropped a piece of bombshell news.

"In fact, thirty was given to the village chief, who said that fifteen of it would be given to the school, and the remaining five would be saved together to give some gifts, asking the teacher to take care of him. Everyone gave this amount."

"I gave the twenty yuan to your Uncle Li. He works outside, so he might buy new things. It's expensive. And he has to eat out occasionally. The money at home is mainly used for the kids' food and drink. Studying requires brainpower, so they need to eat more good food."

Shen Zhizhu kicked his legs in anger, which scared Aunt Li so much.

"Du Zai De, you have such a big appetite. You just ordered thirty directly."

"What...what happened?"

Xu Haonan told Aunt Li about the free tuition they learned at school today, which really made Aunt Li angry.

"You're saying that Du Zai De cheated everyone out of their money, and he took the money, but didn't pay the school tuition, but kept it all for himself?"

Shen Zhizhu shook his head and expressed his guess.

"I guess they didn't take all of it. Maybe they gave some of it to someone in the school to help keep it secret. Who else paid the village chief?"

Aunt Li said indignantly.

"Xiao Zhu, you guys wait here, I'll quietly call everyone over."
