"Sister-in-law, don't be in such a hurry to reject it." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I didn't think it was appropriate at first, but after thinking about it, it's still feasible. Qiao 'er will be going to Heron Island to study when school starts. Godmother will be lonely by herself. Nan Nan can be her companion if she stays with her. As for picking her up and dropping her off … Godmother's body is quite strong, so it won't be a big problem. "
Huzi's mother also smiled and said, "That's right! Yue 'er, I'm very healthy now. Besides, picking her up and dropping her off twice a day isn't tiring! I also have to walk regularly to train my body! I'll just treat it as training … "
Lin Yueh-a hesitated and said, "Auntie, this isn't appropriate … If Nan Nan stays with you, it's not just a matter of picking her up and dropping her off. She'll also have to take care of her! This … this is too much trouble for you! "
"Hehe, I need to eat too. It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks! How much can Nan Nan eat at such a young age? " Huzi's mother said, "There's nothing else. I think Nan Nan is quite sensible. There's no need to worry too much."
Lin Qiao also said, "Sister-in-law, I think this is a good idea! Don't reject it … I'm afraid that my mom will be all alone after I go to Heron Island! With Nan Nan, this little girl, accompanying her, I'll be more at ease! "
With that, Lin Qiao gently pinched Nan Nan's little face and asked with a smile, "Nan Nan, can you stay with Grandma when you're in school? Grandma will cook good food for you every day! On the weekends, Uncle Ruofei will pick you up and bring you back to the farm. "
Nan Nan looked at her mother and grandfather and said, "But … I want to be with Mom …"
Lin Qiao said, "Mom has to work on the farm! It's too far from the city. She can't pick you up and take care of you! Unless you go to the village primary school nearby, but the village primary school is very old. Even the classroom is about to collapse. It might be worse than the primary school you went to in Luo Jiashan! The primary school in the city is very beautiful! There's a beautiful track, bright classrooms, and many sports facilities. Don't you want to go? "
Nan Nan said, "I want to! But I also want to be with my mother. What should I do? "
Lin Qiao was at a loss for words. He could only helplessly look at Xia Ruofei for help.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Nannan, we didn't stop you from being with your mother! It's just that when we're in school, we'll stay at Grandma's house. On weekends and holidays, we'll go back to the farm! And maybe Mom will go to the city to work in a few days, and then you can be with Mom every day. You just need to overcome the first few days. Nan Nan is a good child. Can't she overcome such a small obstacle? "
"I can!" Nan Nan raised her head and said, "Uncle Ruofei, I can overcome the difficulties!"
"That's right! You … study hard with Grandma, and Mom can work on the farm with peace of mind, "Xia Ruofei said," Uncle will send someone to pick you up on the weekend, okay? "
"Okay!" Nan Nan nodded heavily. Although she still couldn't bear to part with her mother, she was a sensible child. She knew that Xia Ruofei was sincerely good to her, so she listened to Xia Ruofei's words.
Lin Yueh-a quickly said, "Ruofei, I … why would I go to the city to work?"
When she said this, she hesitated for a moment. However, she felt that it wasn't good to lie in front of a child, especially if she couldn't fulfill her promise in the future. That would bring psychological harm to the child, so she couldn't help but say it.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not coaxing Nan Nan. Our company has been planning to move the headquarters to the city for a long time. If there are no accidents, it should be implemented in the second half of this year. When the time comes, you just need to change to a suitable position, and then you can go back to work in the city."
"I … What can I do?" Lin Yueh-a was a little uncertain. "I have some experience in managing the orchard, but if it's an office … I … I don't know anything!"
"No one is born knowing how to do it." Xia Ruofei said, "Sister-in-law, you also have a high school education, and you know some basic computer operations. As long as you go through some training, you can at least be an ordinary clerk, right?"
Xia Ruofei paused and continued, "Nan Nan's school is a real problem. If you are always in charge of the orchard, you won't be able to take care of it. So I think you can consider my suggestion and try to change your job."
Xia Ruofei's words made Lin Yueh-a ponder. She really listened to him. For her daughter's growth, working in this suburban farm for a long time was obviously not the best choice. If she could go to the city to work, it would be hard for her, but she wouldn't miss her child's growth.
Lin Yueh-a thought for a long time and finally nodded and said, "Okay! Ruofei, I will seriously consider it. But for now, I will take care of the orchard. Even if I have to hand it over to other colleagues in the future, I won't leave a mess for them. "
Xia Ruofei nodded and asked with a smile, "So … you also agree with our suggestion to let Nan Nan live with godmother temporarily?"
Lin Yueh-a looked at Uncle Luo and asked, "Dad, what do you think?"
Uncle Luo usually let Lin Yueh-a make the decisions at home, but Lin Yueh-a respected her father-in-law very much. She definitely had to listen to his opinion on this kind of matter.
Uncle Luo smiled and said, "Yue 'er, you can decide on this matter."
Lin Yueh-a nodded and said, "Okay, auntie, Ruofei, then I will listen to you!"
Uncle Luo also said, "Sister, then we will have to trouble you from now on!"
Huzi's mother was very happy and said, "No trouble, no trouble, no trouble at all. I can't be more happy! Nan Nan, then when school starts, you will live with grandma! Grandma will cook delicious food for you every day! "
Nan Nan said sensibly, "Thank you, grandma!"
At this time, Lin Yueh-a said, "Auntie, since Nan Nan will live with you, then I will pay you two thousand yuan for food every month!"
"Hey, how much can a child eat? Why do you still need to pay for food? "Huzi's mother said and waved her hand." No need, no need! "
"That won't do!" Lin Yueh-a said seriously, "Auntie, you help me take care of Nan Nan, and I don't know how to thank you. How can I let you pay for Nan Nan's food expenses? If you don't accept this money, then I will definitely not let Nan Nan live there! "
"You … But you don't need so much! How can a little girl eat so much! "Huzi's mother said helplessly.
Xia Ruofei thought and said, "Godmother, since sister-in-law has said so, you should accept this money! When the time comes, you can prepare more nutritious food. Nan Nan is still growing! "
Xia Ruofei knew Lin Yueh-a very well. If Huzi's mother did not accept this money, she would definitely not be able to get over it in her heart. It was not easy to persuade her to accept this arrangement, but it might be a waste of effort because of the food expenses.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei was giving Lin Yueh-a a salary of eight thousand yuan a month. To her family, two thousand yuan was not a big expense. Besides, Xia Ruofei could also subsidize her through bonuses and benefits, so there was no need to be troubled over this issue.
Since even Xia Ruofei said so, Huzi's mother could only smile bitterly and nod. "Alright then! Yue 'er, you are too serious. We are not outsiders, why do you have to make such a clear distinction? "
Lin Yueh-a smiled and said, "That is that! We can't let you work so hard to take care of Nan Nan and pay for it yourself! "
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Alright! Since we have come to an agreement, let's have a toast! Take it as … a toast to Nan Nan going to primary school in the city! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Also, a toast to Qiao 'er going to study at Heron Island University!"
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses together. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Xia Ruofei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally reached a consensus about Nan Nan's enrollment. The next step was to coordinate with the school.
Relatively speaking, this was much easier.
After lunch, Xia Ruofei returned to his room.
He thought for a while and finally found the number of the new Sanshan City Committee Secretary, Song Qiming, and dialed it.
Tian Huilan had gone to the capital with Master Song a few days ago, and Song Qiming had officially taken office.
Xia Ruofei also knew that it was a bit of a fuss to go to the city committee secretary directly for a child's enrollment. However, all of his connections were of a higher level. If it had been when Tian Huilan was still in office, he could have gone directly to Tian Huilan's secretary. However, now that the secretary had changed to Song Qiming, Xia Ruofei did not know Song Qiming's secretary and did not have his contact information, so he could only call Song Qiming directly.
Song Qiming gave Xia Ruofei his private number, so it was picked up after two or three rings.
Song Qiming's warm and hearty laughter came from Xia Ruofei's phone. "Xiao Xia, hello!"
"Hello, Secretary Song!" Xia Ruofei said politely. "I hope I didn't disturb your rest."
"No, no, I was doing research in Zhonglou District!" Song Qiming said with a smile. "I just finished a meeting with the members of the district committee and was about to go for lunch! Xiao Xia, what's the matter? "
Xia Ruofei said, "Yes, Secretary Song, there's something I need to trouble you with …"
"What is it?" Song Qiming said straightforwardly.
Xia Ruofei said embarrassedly, "Secretary Song, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that I don't know any other leaders in Sanshan City, so I can only trouble you directly!"
Song Qiming laughed and said, "It's okay, it's right to come to me! The chief has personally instructed me. As long as you don't violate the rules, I will create conditions to help you! "
"Thank you, Secretary Song!" Xia Ruofei said, "I'm looking for you mainly because of a comrade's child's schooling …"
Then, Xia Ruofei briefly explained Nan Nan's situation and said, "Secretary Song, that's the general situation, what do you think …"
"Xiao Xia, you're really affectionate and righteous!" Song Qiming didn't expect that the first time Xia Ruofei asked for his help was because of a comrade. In his heart, he had a better impression of Xia Ruofei.
He thought for a while and said, "The child is the orphan of a martyr, so she should be taken care of when it comes to schooling. This is also in line with the policy! Xiao Xia, have you chosen a school that you like? "
Xia Ruofei immediately said, "Secretary Song, if it's possible, I hope that Nan Nan can enter Zhonglou Primary School."
Zhonglou Primary School was a key school in the province, and the corresponding junior high school was also one of the best in Sanshan City, Yan 'an High School. Excluding the factor of the junior high school going to private schools, it should be the best primary school plus junior high school in Sanshan City.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zhonglou Primary School was only two stops away from the Forestry Bureau residence where Huzi's mother lived. Huzi could walk to and from school every day, and it was on the same side, so there was no need to go through traffic lights.
Therefore, this was the best choice that Xia Ruofei could think of.
Song Qiming said, "Xiao Xia, hold on for a while, don't hang up …"
"Okay, Secretary Song," Xia Ruofei said.
Zhonglou District Party Committee Conference Room.
The Zhonglou District Party Committee Standing Committee and the deputy leaders of the government, the National People's Congress, and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference were all gathered together.
Today was the day that Secretary Song of the Municipal Party Committee came down to do research.
When a new leader took office, he first went to the district to do research to understand the situation and determine the work plan for the next period. This was already management.
Secretary Song's first stop was Zhonglou District, which showed that he attached great importance to Zhonglou District.
Today, there was a meeting, and in the afternoon, Secretary Song had to talk to the leaders of the district committee.
In the morning meeting, everyone was very enthusiastic, so the meeting didn't end until 12: 30.
Just as everyone was about to go to the district committee's cafeteria to eat, they saw Secretary Song get up to take a call, so they all gathered on the other side of the conference room to avoid being suspected of eavesdropping.
The leaders of Zhonglou District whispered to each other while paying attention to Song Qiming's movements.
After saying a few words, Song Qiming covered the phone and said, "Comrade He Feng, come here for a while."
The deputy district head in charge of education, He Feng, paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Okay, Secretary Song!"
Then he quickly walked over.
The secretary, district head, and other leaders of Zhonglou District looked at each other and looked at He Feng's back enviously. Secretary Song was transferred from another province, so he didn't know anyone here. This deputy district head had already gotten a call from Secretary Song, which made everyone envious.
Song Qiming walked out of the conference room with his phone in his hand, and He Feng naturally followed.
Song Qiming said softly, "Comrade He Feng, I have a friend's child who wants to go to Zhonglou Primary School, please arrange it."
"Okay, Secretary Song!" He Feng quickly said.
He was also very happy. He had a chance to perform as soon as the leader took office. This was just a small matter for him, but he could leave a good impression on the secretary. It was like meeting a pillow when he was sleepy.
Song Qiming said, "Comrade He Feng, give your contact information to Xiao Cao, and a young man named Xia will contact you. If he has any requests, you must try your best to satisfy him. If you have any difficulties, you can contact me directly."
Xiao Cao was Song Qiming's secretary, Cao Guangzhi. He used to be an ordinary staff member of the Municipal Committee Secretariat, but this time, he was chosen by Song Qiming as his personal secretary, and suddenly became a popular person in the Sanshan District.
"Yes, Secretary Song!" He Feng said excitedly.
