An earthquake caused Jiang Shanshan's originally well-off family of three to transmigrate to the impoverished 1970s.
On the left was their son crying for food in her arms, and on the righ...
Niu Jianguo began to talk about his coming here, "Shi Ke, you have worked in the city and even served as a director, you must be very capable. I have something here that I have been unable to come to a decision on, and I want to discuss it with you. Can you give me some advice?"
Xu Shike sat up straight. "Oh, what is the matter the village chief is talking about? Tell me first."
Niu Jianguo moved his stool closer to him before continuing, "Look, the college entrance exam results are out now, which means we can continue to take them in the future. Right now, none of the children in the village can read. I'm a member of the Niu family, so I naturally hope that Niujia Village can produce many useful talents. So, I've thought about it for a long time and plan to build a school. What do you think of this idea?"
After hearing what he said, Xu Shike looked at Niu Jianguo seriously.
He thought that the village chief was only concerned about his immediate interests, but he didn't expect that he would think about such long-term issues. It was really not easy.
"What do you think, Shi Ke? Can you give me an idea? Is my idea feasible?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Niu Jianbian continued to ask with a nervous heart.
Xu Shike suddenly smiled and said to him encouragingly, "Sure, Village Chief, your idea is very good. Let me tell you, only when a village nurtures its offspring well can it prosper?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I thought. Do you mean that my method will work?" Niu Jianguo looked at him nervously and asked.
Xu Shike pursed his lips and smiled. "It's feasible, of course it's feasible. I think this is very feasible. If the village chief needs my help with anything, I will definitely help."
"Great! I knew you had the same idea as me. Unlike that woman in my family, who immediately poured cold water on me when I told her about this. Now we can't even talk to each other."
Xu Shike smiled and didn't say much.
"If I want to open a school in the village, what procedures should I go through?"
Xu Shike was startled, and said a little embarrassedly, "Village Chief, your question really stumps me. How about this, I can ask my friends for you to see if they know the procedure. After I find out, I'll come back and tell you. Is that okay?"
"Okay, okay, thank you, Shi Ke. I heard that you are also going to take the college entrance examination. It seems that your Niu family is going to have two college students." Niu Jianguo said with envy.
Xu Shike smiled politely, "No, I haven't taken the exam yet. I don't know if I can pass it yet."
"There will be no problem with you. Uncle believes in the abilities of you and your wife." Niu Jianguo said with a confident smile.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Niu Jianguo left the Niu family.
When Xu Shike came back, he took the initiative to tell his family about Niu Jianguo's idea of building a school.
"A school is going to be built in our village! That's great. My son Runliang will be able to go to school in the future and won't be illiterate like me and his father." When Zhang Xiangcao heard the good news, she was so excited that she didn't even eat. She stood up and said excitedly.
The other people at the table were also delighted when they heard the news.
Now, after seeing the results of Xu Shike and Jiang Shanshan's literacy, the Niu family has finally realized the benefits of reading and writing.
