Chapter 154 Village Primary School (1/2)



That afternoon, Qi Monan left Qinghe Village in a hurry. He had to go to the city to buy a ticket. When he came here, he took the armed forces car, but now there was no armed forces car available for him. He could only walk to the town to take a car and then go to the county to borrow a car from the armed forces. Fortunately, he had walked this road many times before and was very familiar with it, otherwise he might have accidentally stepped into the pothole in the ditch next to it.

Even though he was wearing military boots, his feet were still frozen after walking in the snow and ice for a long time.

Fortunately, I borrowed a car from the Armed Forces Department, and dried my shoes and warmed my feet there, so I finally recovered.

On the other hand, Song Yun and Captain Liu did not waste any time and quickly planned the location and scale of the village primary school. They asked Li Hui to do the accounting and calculated the expenses for the early stage of building the school, such as making desks and buying books.

Captain Liu said, "This is for the benefit of the children in our village. We can't spend the Song educated youth's money on everything. We have to save where we can. There's wood on the mountain, and we need adobe bricks to build houses. After the spring thaw, we can ask the villagers to make them ourselves. We don't need to be paid for working for the village primary school. We're all working for our own children, so why should we ask for wages? Even if we have to buy materials from the supply and marketing agency, we can still do it."

Although Accountant Li had a slight rift with Song Yun over his son's incident, he was not unreasonable. He knew Song Yun was not at fault in that incident. Moreover, he had witnessed Song Yun's contributions to the village, and that slight rift had now dissipated. He agreed with Captain Liu's words and, with a quick clatter of his abacus, calculated the cost of building the house: a pitifully small forty yuan.

Next came the desks and chairs. There was a carpenter in the village who was responsible for the work, and since he was the only one doing it, it was not convenient to ask him to do it all the time, so we paid him some wages, but it was not much.

There are also textbook fees, which can be collected from children going to school at some time, but the school must prepare them first.

Add some miscellaneous money and it would be less than two hundred yuan.

For Song Yun, this is really a bargain.

Uncle Liu also intended to help her save money. If it were someone else, the algorithm would definitely be different.

"Uncle Liu, I'll leave this matter entirely to you. I'll also trouble you to run errands for my father-in-law."

Captain Liu waved his hand and said, "It's no trouble. I'm doing this for the village and I'm very happy."

Song Yun gave Captain Liu three hundred yuan and asked him to keep an extra hundred yuan as a reserve for emergencies.

Captain Liu also wrote a note to her in a very formal manner and asked two villagers to come over. Everyone, including Accountant Li, put their fingerprints on it and took out a notebook to record the village's accounts, so that if someone made trouble in the future, there would be evidence.

After this matter was settled, it was Ziyi's turn to do the work.

Qingxia and Song Hao both intended to let Song Yun take Ziyi to the Sichuan Provincial Military Region. The educational environment there must be much better than that of Huaihua Palace, and the meeting would also be different. Song Ziyi could study there, which would be of great benefit to his future growth.

Song Yun thought so too.

But now it is the summer holiday, and everyone is on holiday. It is difficult to transfer Ziyi's household registration, including her own.

"Well, I'll go there first, find a place to live, and find out about household registration and school arrangements. After the holiday, I'll find time to come back and pick up Ziyi."

Qi Qingxia and Song Hao were both very satisfied with this plan.

Song Ziyi was happy, but also sad. It was of course good to be with his sister, but he didn't want to leave his parents.

Seeing the little guy was a little depressed, Song Yun advised him, "Ziyi, we will constantly face choices in our lives. Sometimes some choices will make you very painful. But this is something we must go through in life and it is also a lesson you must learn. There are gains and losses. There are not so many best of both worlds in life. Most of the time we are losing and giving up, but at the same time we will also gain something else."

Ziyi seemed smart. Although he didn't fully understand, he knew that the choice before him was very important.
