1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 448: Rural education cannot be without desks

the next day.

Early in the morning, Shen Laosi came happily.

Before seeing his figure, he heard his loud voice shouting from a distance: "Sister-in-law of the Wang family, you haven't eaten breakfast yet?"

When Aunt Ershun saw that the visitor was Shen Laosi, who was also very polite to her, she couldn't help but feel relieved and said with a smile: "Hehehe, no, you came just as soon as it was done. What a coincidence." No luck, give it a try.”

Aunt Ershun brought a large bowl of egg custard. If this delicacy had been served two days ago, an old guy like Shen Laosi would have licked his face and took a few mouthfuls without asking for help.

But now it is no different than before, because there is something more delicious than this egg custard waiting for him.

He didn't want to eat, but he didn't waste his eyes to see. Shen Laosi still took a second look, and when he noticed that Aunt Ershun was looking at him, he looked elsewhere.

Smiling, "Just give it a try. I came here after breakfast. You are busy with your business. I want to talk to Comrade Luo Tao about something. Is he there?"

"Unfortunately, the family of three had been out for a while, saying they were going to exercise.

Otherwise, I'll ask Minyi to shout. "

In Aunt Ershun's opinion, whatever the village party secretary said was no small matter, and she was afraid of being delayed.

But Shen Laosi knew that Luo Tao was not in a hurry after he left, so he smiled and replied: "Oh, that's no need. People in this city are different. They get up so early to exercise."

"That is, that is."

Aunt Ershun held the basin and chatted with Shen Laosi for a while.

Minyi just got up and came out.

Seeing Shen Dazhi's secretary coming, he trotted over in a hurry and handed him a cigarette. "If you smoke, please come to the house immediately."

As soon as the cigarettes were handed to the front door, Shen Laosi, an old guy, had to keep a low profile.

He looked at Minyi and thought that God was really blind. With such virtue, he could still encounter such good things.

Minyi, who used to like smoking cigarettes, now smokes medium-to-high-end cigarettes with mouthpieces.

Shen Laosi smiled but flattered Minyi, "Hahaha, brother Minyi is so polite."

When he entered the house, he praised, "The things you put in your home are exquisite and simple... The glory of the old man will be passed down from generation to generation. If not, your family will go up. ..."

Minyi was stunned for a moment by what he said. What happened today? The branch secretary actually called him a brother, and he felt a little flattered in his heart.

This branch secretary of Shen University is usually serious, but who does he usually give a smile to?

Minyi was surprised at how amiable Shen Laosi was, and at the same time, he was also surprised that his family was as good as he said?
I'm very suspicious. I don't even have a decent household appliance in my home, so I'm not particular about it.

But when it comes to the old man's glory being passed down from generation to generation, that's true. If it hadn't been for the old man's order, Luo Tao wouldn't have come to the Shasha River.

"Thanks to the old man,...and a good branch secretary like you, Shen Zhishu, how could our family build these new houses without you...

Sit down quickly and have a cup of herbal tea. "

Shen Laosi likes to hear others praise him for his leadership, and he especially likes to hear those who are capable and capable praise him.

If Min Yi had said these words in the past, Shen Laosi would have laughed after hearing this, but it is different now. Min Yi is about to turn over, and he will be a rich man if he can't protect himself.

Furthermore, don’t look at the monk’s face to look at the Buddha’s face.

"Okay, okay." Minyi poured him a cup of tea.

Just go get some food that Luo Tao brought.

When Shen Laosi saw Minyi being so attentive to him, he was extremely happy. He liked such honest children and smiled happily, "Brother Minyi, stop working so hard. Let's sit down and chat. "

Minyi was wondering in his heart. Ever since he met Shen Laosi today, he seemed to have changed. How should I put it, he was very cute.

These days, ordinary people with flat heads are still afraid when they see officials, no matter how good or bad they are.

Especially someone like Shen Laosi who suddenly gets better is even more elusive.

Minyi was affected by the environment. Even with Luo Tao supporting him now, he would not dare not take Shen Laosi seriously.

But Minyi accepted his kindness to him generously.

You must be kind.

"Hey, you have something to say."

"There's nothing wrong, it's just..." He tilted his head to Minyi's side and asked in a low voice, "When are you two going to the city to make a fortune?"

Min Yi was honest, but he was not stupid, and he didn't know what Shen Laosi was going to do, so he told the truth: "Secretary Shen, you think too highly of us brothers. We know nothing, so what can we do in the city. "

Shen Laosi now had no time to wonder whether his words were true or not, so he said anxiously: "You are wrong. You don't know anything. When you enter the city, Luo Tao will protect you two brothers. What else do you want?" Yes, just wait and count the money.…”

Seeing Minyi's half-understanding and half-confused face, he said earnestly: "Don't worry, I'm not saying this to ask you to do me any favors. I'm doing this for the good of you two brothers.

As the old saying goes, after passing this village, this store will no longer exist, so you have to hold on tight. "

As he said this, he became sad again, "I wish someone like this could help me, but it's a pity that we don't have the fate of you two brothers?"

When he talked about the truth, he kept talking in one sentence, leaving no room for Minyi to interrupt. He drank a few sips of water.

Then he added: "That city is so nice.

Tsk, I usually don’t pay attention, but when I took a look today, brother, I saw that you are a person who makes a lot of money, and you are rich and destined. "

This string of words seemed to be chewed to pieces in his mouth before they came out. It was so bright to his ears and ears, and it still penetrated his heart.

The expression on his face was very strange at this moment. It seemed to be envy, jealousy, and encouragement.

In short, he does not sincerely wish good people's justice.

Minyi wiped his face and pretended to cover it up. He was really afraid that this materialist might see something else.

He said, "You have tea."

"Hey!"

After a while, he said again: "Well, what I said just now, you should think about it carefully, it's a good thing."

"Hey, I can do it, Shen Zhishu."

It was only when Luo Tao and his family came back from a walk that Min Yi escaped from Shen Laosi's clutches.

Zhu Lin took Xiao Shiyue to the pressurized well to give him a brief wash.

Luo Tao and Minyi accompanied Shen Laosi to fool around.

Shen Laosi came up with a lot of nice words, "Comrade Luo Tao, your family really loves life.

You and your couple are so happy, what's the word for that... Yes, I didn't quite understand the talent and beauty of a man before, but now that I see you two, I really understand what's going on. "

Luo Tao also couldn't figure out where Shen Laosi had gone wrong and why he was so good at talking today.

He glanced at Minyi, who had been chatting with him for a while, hoping that Minyi would give him some tips, but he simply shook his head.

Luo Tao had no choice but to apologize to Shen Laosi with a smile: "Secretary Shen, you are so good at talking, but we are not as good as you say.

As for you and your fourth aunt, you and your fourth aunt are truly handsome. You have been treating each other like guests for the rest of your life, which is really enviable. "

Shen Laosi lacks some virtue in doing other things, but he is really good to his wife.

For a man who works in the fields to marry a well-educated and courteous female intellectual is a blessing to his ancestors in the eighteenth generation.

He was a little embarrassed to be praised by Luo Tao, and he was very happy.He, the fourth son of Shen, may be the one who loves his wife in his life, and someone can talk about it.

He also likes to hear others praise his wife's relationship with him.

Once the greetings are over, it's time to talk about something serious.

"Comrade Luo Tao, I'm here today just to ask about renovating the school. What do you mean? I didn't explain it clearly yesterday. I just want to ask you clearly today so that things can be done more easily in the village."

Luo Tao understood the purpose of his visit and was not vague with him, "Oh, it's my fault that I didn't explain this to Secretary Shen Zhi yesterday.

……

I will pay for it, and the village will do the specific work. I wonder if this will work? "

This result was too much for Shen Laosi's heart. If he hadn't taken into account that he was the head of a village, he would have jumped up at this moment.

“Don’t worry, the village will absolutely give its full support and help in renovating the school.

... This is a major event that concerns every household in the village. We will definitely hire the best construction team and use the best materials, and nothing bad will happen. "

He made the promise firmly, but Luo Tao didn't believe a single word he said.

"I still trust the people in the village on this matter... I also know a little bit about construction. Nowadays, it only costs about 3000 yuan to build three large red brick houses in the countryside.

I don't think it would cost much to renovate the school.

There seem to be six classes in our Shazihe Primary School. "

Uncertainly, he asked Shen Laosi: "Is there no education class now?"

He said truthfully: "Not now."

Then he started to think carefully again, "But that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. The Yuhong Class has been suspended for many years, but the village has long thought about picking it up, but it has never been done."

He spoke righteously, as if he was really a good cadre who cared for the people.

Luo Tao now just wants to help the villagers a little bit, and he has no intention of competing with Shen Laosi on this issue.

"Then let's clean it up this time, it's a good thing to run the Yuhong Class.

... Then there are seven classes now, and the teachers' offices, let's count three, as well as toilets and courtyard walls. "

After taking a sip of water, he asked Shen Laosi: "Secretary Shen, can you please calculate this? How much does it cost? I'll pay the money when I get back to the city."

What Luo Tao just said made it clear to him that renovating the school would be based on the standard of building three large tile-roofed houses, and the total cost would be only 3 yuan.

If you want to ask for more money, it is best to give up this idea.

After hearing what Luo Tao said, Shen Laosi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pretended to be nonchalant when he heard the words, followed Luo Tao's wishes, and said seriously, "I think it will only cost 3 to [-] yuan to build it! What do you think, brother Minyi?" ?”

Minyi's family had built three tile-roofed houses in the past two years, so he had a certain understanding of this place.

It would be most appropriate for Shen Laosi to kick the ball to him at this time.

"I think that's the amount." He said this a bit solemnly, and his heart was bleeding. This was 3 yuan, and it was just gone.

"Okay, Secretary, this matter is settled. I will give the village a lump sum of 3 yuan, no matter how much it is, and not much more.

Having said that, we can't just pretend to be good. You also made a promise just now, and I believe you.

But let's talk about the ugly things first, if there is a quality problem, I'm looking for you and the village.

I can't do bad things with good intentions. "

Luo Tao's words reached the ears of Shen Laosi, and he felt a chill all over his body. He hurriedly said: "That...that can't be done. No one can do this unscrupulous thing...if you are worried, you can come to inspect at any time." , Aren’t brothers Minyi here too,..."

Shen Laosi didn't want to eat too much from it from the beginning. He thought he would be satisfied if he could get a thousand yuan from it. Besides, he didn't dare to peel it off and eat half of it. If there was really a quality problem in the school.

Then his family should stop thinking about continuing to live in the village, beating to death is light, but being poked in the back by villagers for generations is really cruel.

When Luo Tao saw what he said, he smiled and said, "I feel relieved if you have the secretary of the branch."

"I plan to go back in the afternoon. I wonder if I can go to school in the morning. We want to see the children."

Luo Tao's words shocked both Shen Laosi and Mingyi. It was a bit sudden. "Why did you just leave? I thought you could stay here for a while."

"Hehehe, there are still a lot of things waiting for us to do in the city. We really can't stay any longer. When we come back next time, we have to stay for a while before leaving."

Luo Tao originally wanted to come here to stay for a while, but Xiao Shiyue was a little unhappy these two days, and Zhu Lin missed the little girl, so he returned to the city early.

Seeing that Luo Tao was busy with everything, Shen Laosi couldn't say anything. He also wished that Luo Tao would go back and get the money.

"You are a busy man and you are busy with your work. It's a pity that you and your family have not been invited to sit at home... However, we have agreed that next time I come, I must treat you to a drink."

"...I'm going to school now, you can just go straight after you eat."

Shen Laosi said a lot of good things before reluctantly leaving.

Luo Tao and Minyi got up to see him off.

Minren didn't want to come in when Shen Laosi was there, so he entered the house only after seeing him leave.

"Brother, what is this Shen Laosi doing here?"

"What else can he do if he comes? Of course it's the school's business."

"Hmph, this old thing smells fishy and eats shit. Dogs can't change it. Brother Tao, don't listen to him for everything, you have a dark heart." Minren scolded Shen Laosi and advised Luo Tao to have his own opinion.

Luo Tao smiled, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, there is no cat that doesn't eat fish, as long as Shen Laosi is not too much, Luo Tao will just pretend that he doesn't know anything.

"Thank you for reminding me, I know. By the way, have you two brothers thought about it?"

Minyi already knew that Luo Tao was leaving in the afternoon, "I want to stay overnight, and I've also thought about going to the city to have a look, but I want to wait until I sell this year's pears before I go there. Is that okay?"

When Minyi mentioned pears, Luo Tao really forgot about it, "Of course, I told you yesterday. You can go whenever you want. Selling pears is a big deal."

If the elder brother's moral principles say so, then the younger brother will naturally follow his elder brother.

The three of them agreed that when the pears were sold in September and the children went to school, the two brothers would go to the city together.

In this way, the two brothers can supervise the school's renovation work for Luo Tao.

After having breakfast at Wang's house, Luo Tao and the others rushed to the elementary school not far from the village.

Since Luo Tao and the others went there early, the school was not in session yet.

Accompanied by Shen Laosi and the school principal, I visited the elementary school.

After looking around, I found that this school should have been renovated a long time ago. Zizihe Primary School was built in the 50s, and it is now more than 30 years ago. The building has long been dilapidated.

The blackboard where knowledge is written has several big holes.

Even the stools need to be brought by the children from home.

Seeing this, Luo Tao chatted with the school's only four teachers for a long time, just to understand the specific situation.

After a long conversation, Luo Tao truly realized how backward rural education was.

This is still a rural area under the rule of the capital. If children in those remote mountain villages go to class, there won’t even be desks.
