Chapter 115
It turned out that this was when Xia Zhu went to the street to buy clothes that day, while Su Xinghui went to get the bicycle, she bought some wool at the supply and marketing cooperative to knit for Su Xinghui.
Seeing Xia Zhu's expectant eyes, Su Xinghui put on the gloves and tried them. The size was very suitable. This was not surprising. As a bamboo weaving expert like Xia Zhu, she only needed to take a look at Su Xinghui's hands to know the size.
Several village cadres looked at Su Xinghui with smiles. Su Xinghui said: "Xia Zhu, thank you!"
Xia Zhu said somewhat embarrassedly: "Brother Xinghui, don't say thank you. You have helped my family so much, I should be the one saying thank you. What is it for me to knit a pair of gloves for you."
Su Xinghui didn't know what to say. He glanced at Xue Qin and saw that Xue Qin was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.
Su Xinghui quickly said: "Xue Qin, you chat with them, I'll go to the Eucommia forest to take a look."
Xue Qin nodded and said: "Alright, you go first."
Su Xinghui went to the Eucommia nursery base to take a look. Because the climate in Yezhugou was mild, even if it was winter now, it wouldn't be too cold, and the current average monthly temperature was above ten degrees, so the growth of these Eucommia seedlings was quite good.
Several students from Jiangcheng Agricultural University were guiding the villagers to cultivate seedlings here. Su Xinghui chatted with them and saw Xue Qin coming over.
Xue Qin smiled: "How is it, have you finished looking?"
Su Xinghui said: "I've seen almost everything. How about you, how did you chat with them?"
Xue Qin said: "The chat was good. They all said they would support my work. Accountant Gao said he would take the initiative to go to the station to report taxes every month."
Su Xinghui nodded and said: "That's good."
Xue Qin said: "Then let's go to the next village."
Su Xinghui said: "Alright."
Su Xinghui and Xue Qin went to the entrance of the village committee to get the bicycle. When they reached the entrance of the village committee, he said to Fang Youcai: "Secretary Fang, we're leaving!"
Fang Youcai quickly came out and said: "How can you leave? Eat lunch in our village. I've already asked Zhongfu to prepare it. Today, I'll get you a pheasant to eat."
Xue Qin smiled: "Secretary Fang, we won't eat here at noon. I want to run to a few more villages today. It's almost the New Year, I have to enter the role quickly and run through the villages here. I have to hurry."
Fang Youcai tried his best to keep them: "It's not too late to leave after eating. Zhongfu has already gone home to prepare."
Su Xinghui said: "Forget it, Secretary Fang, Xue Qin wants to run to a few more villages, she's in a hurry. Next time, aren't there plenty of opportunities to eat?"
Fang Youcai saw that he couldn't keep them, so he had to give up: "Then you must stay and eat here next time you come!"
Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Alright!"
Su Xinghui rode the bike with Xue Qin and went to Qishuping Village next to Yezhugou Village.
On the way, Xue Qin said: "Why don't you put on those gloves?"
Su Xinghui heard Xue Qin's words and smiled: "Xue Qin, why does your tone sound a bit sour!"
Xue Qin said: "I'm not sour. You're riding a bicycle in such cold weather, so you should wear gloves."
Hearing this, Su Xinghui simply stopped the bicycle, put his feet on the ground, took the gloves out of his pocket, and put them on his hands. Don't say, once these gloves were put on, it was indeed much warmer.
Putting on the gloves, Su Xinghui didn't say a word and pedaled the bike. Xue Qin knew he was a bit angry, so she also fell silent.
After a while, Xue Qin said: "Xinghui, don't be angry, I won't say such things in the future."
Su Xinghui said: "Xue Qin, we are classmates. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I hope our relationship can be more relaxed now."
Xue Qin nodded repeatedly and said: "Alright, I know!"
During this period, Peng Kehong often fawned over Su Xinghui. He also privately told Su Xinghui that he still wanted to return to work under Su Xinghui. He said he didn't like family planning work and still liked working under Su Xinghui.
Su Xinghui found it funny. Who likes to do family planning work? Not to mention a young man who hasn't married yet. But who can blame this? Isn't it all Peng Kehong's own fault? Is it a bit too late for him to come and fawn over him now?
He liked to see Peng Kehong have bad luck. For a petty person like Peng Kehong, if he gains power, it would be a satire on this society.
If it were someone else, they might change their perception of him under Peng Kehong's offensive, but Su Xinghui knew Peng Kehong too well. He knew what kind of person Peng Kehong was, so he would never be deceived by Peng Kehong.
Of course, everyone is still a colleague after all. On the surface, he still dealt with Peng Kehong, saying that he would help him speak if there was a chance.
January 22nd of '93 is New Year's Eve, so it's only half a month away from the New Year. The Party and Government Office has to arrange benefits for the township government staff.
In previous years, the finances of Menghuling Township were relatively difficult. The benefits for the New Year were at most some fish and meat, and not much, at most two or three small fish and four or five catties of meat, which was already considered quite difficult.
This year, the township's financial situation is much better than in previous years, so the township's benefits this year are also more. Chen Hongfu and several township leaders discussed and decided to distribute benefits at a standard of five hundred yuan per person, including two hundred yuan in kind and three hundred yuan in New Year's fees.
This benefit standard is enough for the township government staff to have a fat New Year. As soon as this news spread, all the staff in the township government were beaming. In fact, even in government agencies, except for a few people, most people rely on their salaries to live. Having such benefits already makes them very happy.
Especially those temporary workers, they are even happier. In previous years, the township's benefits were not much, and their benefits were even less than those of formal workers. But this year, the township decided that the benefits for temporary workers and formal workers are the same.
To be honest, in the township government, the things temporary workers do are no less than those of formal workers. On the contrary, many things that formal workers don't want to do are done by temporary workers. Their salaries are even lower than those of formal workers. The township leaders also see this in their eyes. Now that the township's finances are better, the township leaders also use the opportunity of distributing benefits to give these temporary workers some compensation to make them feel better. After all, many things still need them to do.
The distribution of benefits is handled by the Party and Government Office every year. Previously, it was handled by Wei Bingyi with people, but this year Wei Bingyi handed this matter to Su Xinghui, because when dividing the work, he divided the logistics and reception to Su Xinghui, and the distribution of benefits also belongs to the scope of logistics.
Su Xinghui called Zeng Xianglin, sat in Yao Xuexin's old jeep, and set off. Meat is easy to say, you can buy a few pigs in the township and kill them to distribute to everyone, but it is not easy to buy so much fish at once. No one in Menghuling raises fish. Buying a few fish at a time is fine, but distributing benefits requires at least one or two thousand catties of fish, so you can only buy them elsewhere.
