After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Chen Yang looked at Da Ya who was sitting next to him, lowering her head and gnawing on a pheasant leg, and asked casually: "Da Ya, have you been to school?"
After hearing Chen Yangmei's words, Da Ya first raised her head and looked at Chen Yangmei, then stopped the movement in her hand and slowly buried her head deeply.
Liu Yishou's wife forced herself to laugh and said, "Secretary Chen, Da Ya has graduated from elementary school. We have not let her go to junior high school again."
"Why didn't I go to junior high school? Is it because my academic performance is not good?" Chen Yang frowned and asked.
Before Liu Yishu and his wife could speak, Da Ya suddenly raised her head and said frankly: "Uncle Chen, no, I have good academic performance and I even got the first place in the school." But after saying that, the little girl immediately lowered her head deeply again.
"Yeah!" Chen Yangmei was stunned, looked at Liu Yishou and his wife in confusion, and asked, "Since his academic performance is so outstanding, why not let Da Ya go to school?"
Liu Yishou's face turned slightly red, and he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Liu Yishou's wife explained: "Secretary Chen, this little girl's family can recognize a few words and count them. It's not enough to just open her eyes. We are too busy running a restaurant. We also need her help. Isn't that... In addition, it takes a lot of money to go to school. You don't know that there is a waiter in our family. With his grandmother in the countryside, the waiter has already gone to school. The tuition for the two children is really not a small amount. In addition, the town government owed us several hundred yuan, and the family really has no money to support her in school..."
"Oh! Why are you talking about these things..." Liu Yishou hurriedly interrupted his wife's words.
However, Liu Yishou's wife glared at Liu Yishou and said angrily: "I'm just reporting the situation to Secretary Chen. It's natural to pay back the debt. Could it be that the government can eat and drink for nothing? The Chinese Party has policies that do not take the masses one needle at a time."
After hearing what Liu Yishou's wife said, Chen Yangmei didn't expect that it was because of the poverty of her family that caused Da Yazhuan. It was because he thought that Liu Yishou's family ran this restaurant, and the business seemed to be very good. He always felt that Liu Yishou should belong to the group of people who got rich first in the countryside. He didn't expect that this was the case. He also knew that the town government owed Liu Yishou a lot of money, but he didn't expect that it was so much. You know that the per capita income of Qingshan Town in this era was only three to five hundred, and this money was not a small amount. Then, Chen Yangmei turned his gaze to Zhou Chengde.
Zhou Chengde naturally understood what he meant, smiled bitterly, and shook his head, saying, "Secretary Chen, I really don't understand the situation of Da Ya, but I know that there are many families like Lao Liu in Qingshan Town. Because their families are poor, many children have dropped out of school early, especially girls like Da Ya, the dropout rate is amazing. We also want to reduce the tuition fees of some students, but the financial situation of our town does not allow it at all. Although I am in charge of education and the town has no money, I can't do anything about it. As for the debts of the town government, I really don't know this situation. I know that Lao Liu can often get some wild game from the mountains, and his skills are really good. Therefore, the reception banquets that welcoming and sending in our town are basically arranged here, and the settlement matters are usually arranged by Zhang Liansheng."
Chen Yangmei nodded and said to Liu Yishou's wife: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this account will be paid back, and I promised you that the account will be settled with you in the next few days. But you also have to promise me that Da Ya will return to school as soon as possible. As long as Da Ya doesn't go back to school, I will not settle the account owed to you by the town government."
After hearing Chen Yangmei's words, Liu Yishu and his wife's eyes lit up. At the same time, Da Ya also raised her head and looked at Chen Yangmei blankly. I don't know why this young uncle was so kind to him.
"Secretary Chen, aren't you lying to us two?" Liu Yishu asked tentatively.
Chen Yangmei smiled and shook his head, saying, "Of course not, why would I lie to you? But, if you can settle your debt, Brother Liu will still need to help me."
"Yeah!" Liu Yishou was stunned, not understanding what Chen Yangmei said, but he patted his chest and said, "Secretary Chen, what do you want me, Old Liu, please give me an order. I frowned in the water and fire. I am not a man." When he heard that Chen Yangmei needed his help, Liu Yishou immediately took over. What an honor is such a big leader needing my help!
"Haha..." Chen Yangmei smiled and said, "That's not the case. In two days, a few guests may have to come from the county. At that time, you can take us to Qingshan for a walk, pick up some rabbits, pheasants, etc., and let them taste it. As long as these customers are satisfied, not only will it be a problem for you to owe you the account in the restaurant, but the tuition fees of countless children like Da Ya who can't afford to go to school will be settled!"
After hearing Chen Yangmei's words, Zhou Chengde and Luo Wenting looked at each other. After hearing Secretary Chen's words were assured, it seemed that they were going to take action.

Although Chen Yangmei was not drunk, she successfully obtained the support of Zhou Chengde and Luo Wenting, which made him feel a little drunk without getting drunk, and she was a little drunk. She declined Zhou Chengde and Luo Wenting's proposal to send him to the dormitory, and Chen Yangmei slowly walked back to the dormitory.
After taking a shower, he changed into pajamas, leaned against the head of the bed, holding the information about the education situation in the whole town sent by Yang Zhen. Because Chen Yangmei explained to Zhang Liansheng and Zhou Chengde in advance that he did not want to read some superficial articles, but wanted to have a deeper understanding of the real situation of Qingshan Town education. Therefore, the materials in his hand were still detailed and accurate. Even though they were a little bit humid, they were much more realistic and accurate than those official articles.
There are two middle schools in Qingshan Town, fifteen primary schools, and the conditions in middle schools are slightly better, but the situation in primary schools is not satisfactory. The main problems are the lack of school buildings, the teaching staff is weak, the dropout rate is too high, and various equipment, books and office supplies are severely short of equipment, books and office supplies. In particular, primary schools and middle schools are mostly concentrated on the southern side of the relatively gentle mountain, while in the northern area, there are serious shortages of primary schools, and some children even have to run a mountain road of more than ten or twenty miles to go to school. The reason is that the education funding in the town is seriously insufficient. Every year, the farmers' levy is a large part of the education, but the difficulty of agricultural tax collection is difficult for people who have not served as cadres in towns and towns. Later generations of farmers are irreplaceable for farming with state subsidies, which is just a foolish thing for today's farmers. I think. Among them, the agricultural tax is better. The awareness of imperial grain and national tax has been deeply rooted in the bones of the people. It is believed that there have been imperial grain and national taxes throughout the dynasties, and it is natural for ordinary people to farm and pay agricultural taxes. But this is different. It is a standard set by the township based on their own burden. For poor towns like Qingshan Town, they must be responsible for the subsidies for private teachers and village cadres, as well as the daily expenses of villages to maintain, etc., which is a huge number, and these have to be paid by withdrawal funds. Therefore, although Chen Yangmei didn't know how much withdrawal funds each person would have to pay, it would be a minority, and the difficulty of collecting them can be imagined. There are many people in the town who rely entirely on poverty alleviation and relief funds to support their families. Where can they have money to pay the withdrawal funds for the farm tax?
