On the weekend, Yang Xue's father came to the military compound to find Su Ye and brought Su Ye a large order.
Yang Xue’s father did not have permission to enter the military compound, so he could only wait for Su Ye at the gate.
The soldier standing guard at the door said to Yang Xue's father, "Are you looking for Captain Gu's lover Su Ye? Wait a minute, I'll call a soldier to inform you."
It was during this trip that Yang Xue’s father learned that Teacher Su was a glorious military family member.
No wonder Teacher Su’s ideological realm is so high, Yang Xue’s father thought.
After a while, Su Ye came late with a bag.
Yang Xue's father came up to her and said, "Teacher Su, many workers at our Changyou Cooking Oil Factory have said they want to buy watches. Your watches are very popular among our workers. This is the money from the last sale."
Yang Xue's father said this carefully and took out a wad of money and a notebook. The banknotes were thick and the notebook was filled with names of people.
From the fact that she was wearing washed-out clothes, you could really tell that she had so much money in her pocket.
Yang Xue's father said enthusiastically: "I can get as much as Teacher Su has this time."
Last time, Yang Xue's father took away twenty watches. It has been nearly half a month since the last time. Half a month later, everyone found that the watches can still be used normally, the time of the watches is very accurate, and there are no hidden defects. They are very satisfied.
Su Ye was very happy after counting the money. It should be that their "brand effect" was created.
The last time we bought a watch, we were skeptical. This time, we finally put aside our worries and bought as much as we wanted. In the 1960s, workers were very popular. Food, drink and food were provided by the government, and the welfare benefits were very good. It was no problem to buy a small refurbished watch.
After Su Ye counted the money, she checked the numbers on the notebook and started to issue invoices. She gave the 53 invoices to Yang Xue's father one by one.
Yang Xue's father took the small slips of paper and asked with narrowed eyes, "Why are you making it so formal?"
Su Ye nodded, "That's as I should. We now have one invoice for each form, so please take these carefully. From now on, everyone will use the invoices to repair or return goods. I have also replenished the previous invoices according to the number of people, so please help me make this trip."
But this life was Su Ye's own, and considering Yang Xue's father's hardworking attitude, she wanted to pay him a salary.
It's a pity that it is.
Yang Xue's father took the invoice and read it carefully. The amount was written in capital letters: 10 yuan. The invoice was signed "Yi Zhong Green Factory" and the stamp was also "Yi Zhong Green Factory". It immediately became formal. He felt a sense of admiration.
Teacher Su looks old, but he is very careful and steady in his work. When Yang Xue's father was Su Ye's age, he was still an apprentice in the workshop. How could he have such ability? Not only is he flexible and adaptable, but he can also make money by saying that he can make money.
If this business could continue, how terrifying it would be... Yang Xue's father estimated the speed of making money, and the term "ten thousand yuan household" suddenly popped up in his mind. He shook his head and quickly put this scary idea behind him.
Su Ye reminded Yang Xue's father: "If you are a worker in your factory and have a broken watch, you can come to us."
Yang Xue's father nodded hurriedly, "I remember, we know it."
After all, everyone had a copy of the note with the short story written on it.
…
After Liu Qiu left the military compound, Li Hongli and Gao Anna looked at each other.
Doubts began to arise in their minds. Could Liu Qiu be... just talking big?
There is no job that can earn so much money. If there is, you need skills to earn so much. Su Ye is an elementary school graduate with no education. Does he know technology?
Li Hongli said: "I'll find out what's going on."
Li Hongli asked a teacher at No. 1 Middle School to inquire, and the result was exactly the same as what Liu Qiu said. The teacher at No. 1 Middle School told her exactly how Su Ye made money and how he taught the children skills.
The more Gao Anna listened, the more she frowned. Su Ye went to No. 1 Middle School to be a teacher and still didn't know how to cherish him. He even wanted to delay his students.
A teacher's sense of justice drove her to report the matter to the Municipal Education Commission.
Gao Anna went to the municipal education committee and said, "I found a teacher who used her position to incite students to engage in illegal economic activities. The students didn't even want to attend the class, they just followed her to make money."
"She bought someone else's watch for one or two dollars, decorated it, and then resold it for ten dollars. She has made more than a thousand dollars now. You said that the mission of a student is to study. How can she be so greedy for money and let others take advantage of her?"
More than one thousand yuan is an astronomical figure. Even the officials from the Municipal Education Commission gasped when they heard it.
Yuan Zhi from the Education Committee became serious when he heard this. "If this is true, it is a very serious violation of discipline. I'll ask Zhi to find out what's going on."
On Friday, Yuan Zhizhi and other staff came to No. 1 Middle School to investigate.
Yuan Zhi and others gathered these students together and gave them a serious lecture.
"You are still students, how can you do these things that adults do? You are being used by your teacher, you don't know. Repairing watches is a good thing, but selling watches is a bad thing. Strictly speaking, what you did is still speculation."
The students listened with concern, as if they had understood what had happened.
Yang Xue shook her head and interrupted her: "Yes, yes, it's like this, I don't allow you to say that about Teacher Su."
Qian Xiaohe nodded and pulled Yuan Xizhi's sleeve, "You know, we can continue to go to school thanks to Teacher Su."
This group of children looked older, but when they stood up, they were probably taller than Yuan Zhizhi. Children of this age, if placed in the countryside, could probably shoulder the responsibility of a family. Yuan Zhizhi glanced at the students who had surrounded her without her knowing when, and felt both angry and happy.
Ma Jianguo said: "I don't know what rumors you heard that made you say such things. Teacher Su has never been more dedicated to us. Come and see what we are doing over the weekend and then give your opinion on Teacher Su."
The principal of No. 1 Middle School arrived at some point. After watching this scene, she said to the members of the investigation team with a friendly expression, "Why don't you go and talk to these children and see what they are doing."
The investigation team's Zhi was furious, but Yuan Zhi agreed with interest, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
On the weekend, Yang Xue took a representative from the Municipal Education Commission to make a home visit.
Ma Jianguo's shabby house of less than 10 square meters is bare and the elderly man is hunched over at the door, mending things with difficulty in the light; at the end of the alley, Qian Xiaohe's parents are calculating how to arrange a blind date for their daughter; in the shabby tile-roofed house, a pair of seriously ill parents are covered with dirty cotton wool and can barely take care of themselves...
Yang Xue pointed to the other side, where a group of students were holding boxes and knocking on doors. From a distance, they looked as if they were apologizing to others.
Yang Xue didn't feel embarrassed and ran up to them, bowed to the people who were disturbed, and continued to ask passers-by about old watches while holding the box.
One student explained: "Only by recycling discarded old watches can we make refurbished second-hand watches. All the watches we sell are processed from these."
Yang Xue's father and the staff saw this scene, came up and patted her on the shoulder, and then joined the group of children. The adults and children were not ashamed and ran around in the chilly wind.
They grinned like they were showing off their money, pointing at the small slips of paper covered with words, and more and more people joined them. It seemed that no one thought it was wrong and would accuse them of "speculation".
After a while, an elderly grandmother came over tremblingly, took out the watch wrapped in cloth from her arms, and put it in our box.
After Yang Xue's father finished these tasks, he took out new watches from his pocket and distributed them to his servants.
The waiters handed the bills to the man, and the bills in his hand became more and more, and he counted the thick stack of money back and forth for a long time. It made people jealous and envious.
When Ma Jianguo's grandmother heard that these "bad guys" had come to the school to sabotage and sell refurbished watches, she was heartbroken and quickly chased after them, accusing them:
"You young people are really messing around. You're talking while standing and complaining about back pain! My son Jianguo dropped out of middle school before he finished. Now the school not only allows Jianguo to study for free and buys textbooks, but also gives our family a subsidy of five yuan every month. Did this money just come from the wind?"
"I know that Teacher Su is working on this watch renovation. I was the first one to ask you to learn and help. There are so many bad things in the world, and you don't care about them. You only care about these good things and ruin them. Do you want to give my grandson free education and subsidize us every month?"
These words taught the city's education committee members a lesson, as they were too concerned about their reputation. They seemed to understand that Teacher Su Ye was leading a group of children to make money to subsidize their tuition fees?
Yang Xue wiped her sweat and said, "We collect old watches every week. We are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and we are not afraid of embarrassment. Do you know what we are afraid of?"
"We were afraid to go to school. There are other ways out. Who wants to be a child with an easy life? Teacher Su found a way for us, and many of us were able to go to school. Teacher Su did not take a penny. He taught us how to repair watches for free with all his heart and soul. We did the same. We all volunteered to work. How could it be considered speculation?"
Yang Xue's father wiped his sweat, pursed his lips and said to Yang Xue: "You are the only one who talks too much."
The honest and honest teacher smiled and said to the volunteers, "The children are working very hard, and we adults have also helped a lot. Just come and collect the watches and fix them when you are free. We parents support you in this matter."
Yang Xue and others brought this group of volunteers back to school. They stood in front of the school's small blackboard, on which were posted the financial details of the "Green Factory" last month.
How many watches were sold, how much money was earned, and where the expenses were spent were all clearly written on it. Such a small activity helped so many children who dropped out of school. It was completely different from what we had previously speculated, that the teacher was using the students to make huge profits.
These "huge profits" were completely spent on the cutting edge, on the students' bodies, which made the officials of the Municipal Education Commission blush.
Students picked up broken old watches from the boxes. One student said confidently, "This is the money we earned with our own hands. We don't think it's shameful or illegal. It's waste, not precious items. The teacher said we are creating resources for the country."
Gao Anna was also in the crowd. She felt embarrassed and secretly left the crowd.
